Good evening elders, please if someone has already applied for PSW but a decision hasn't been made and they get a COS for healthcare, can they cancel the PSW visa and apply for the healthcare? Will the person be refunded please? Thank you.

If a decision is yet to be made, yes.

If a decision has been made, no

Sorry for your loss.
It's unfortunate, same can happen irrespective if where one is.
May God grant her soul eternal rest.

This is the kind of mindset that took Nigeria to this level.

So you mean in useful country, accident victims requiring emergency stabilisation are turn away and left to writhe in pain till death?

We make excuses for politicals leaders, making them have little sense of accountability and reward incompetence

In a normal country, when something like this happens, it will make headline, people will talk a lot it, people will lose their jobs for it, politicians in the area will be forced to resign or be booted out of office, police investigation for negligence will be opened against a few people...........that is how you build accountability and competence.

Suggesting it was unavoidable or describing it as the will of God is what Nigerians use to destroy the country

This FX quagmire, is only going to get worse........ We are very reliant on back to back foreign loans to shore up the naira, fund our budgets, payback current loans, infrastructural development, foreign trips for bola, health tourism for bola, pay wages, steal, loot ètc etc .......😄

Once we finish spending the amount we borrowed, we go shopping for more loans .........😂😜

Which reasonable investor, would bring $ to Nigeria to invest (with all the news hitting all headlines)........

It's all calm, bola is in france relaxing..... It's all well back home .......😜😁

Aptly said, his predecessor lived part-time in the UK, doing a lot of meaningless globe-trotting burning scare FX. Tinubu's children own several real estate abroad, his grand children school abroad, same with Buhari's children. Tinubu is one of Nigeria's rightest politician without any well known business, and I quite sure a sizeable portion of his wealth is stored in foreign currency. These two presidents are also the ones who raked up most of Nigeria's foreign loans.

Today someone is blaming dorm account holders, foreign currency speculators and Nigerians having foreign taste but exporting nothing for the poor state of the FX .

Yesterday, the official market rate went above the black market rate. Read an articule yesterday that tied it to Dangote sourcing forex to buy crude for his refinery. NNPC is currently unable to supply Dangote enough crude because it has traded future production for loans.....guess who is responsible ?

adekzy:
Why are you so bitter as if you are from the sadEast part of Nigeria.

.....
As at November last year, over $29billion is currently sitting idle in all domiciliary account across the country, yet we dey cry say no dollars. WHY?

Why should we dollarised our economy for non productive adverture at the expenses of our local economic drive and the mases who dont have the opportunity to edge thier naira to save in dollars.

If possible, the Govt should just "borrow" all those idle dollars temporary and return it when the economy is stable...but I doubt if they have "Political Will" as most of the politicians are also culprits.

So Mr Thread, your bitterness will only gives you HBP if you don't disect the real issue without sentiment and emotion.

You seem to have a weird fascination with draconian and heavy-handed tactics. I recall you were the one also justifying hamas and vilifying US.

Definitely at some point you benefited from the dorm account balances you were referring to fund your travels. Speculation exists the in every sector in a free market economy. Naira has shown a high level of instability since APC took power, and the current speculative activity reflects the poor handling of the foreign exchange situation by the current and past presidents. The current speculative activity is the result and not the cause of naira's instability.

Also, do not assume everyone operating a dorm account is doing so for speculative purposes. If businesses project that they will have to buy FX at a higher rate to fund their activities in the future, it gives them a high incentive to lock in prices by buying FX now so they can hedge against FX losses in the future.

Obj and GEJ managed to keep the exchange stable and speculators at bay, the chicago accountant may go to them to learn one or two.

adekzy:
Bloody liar, reechoing the false narrative the western media were pushing to justify genocide!.

There is no evidence that Hamas killed and raped women+children, the news has been debunked many times. Even in the concert where people were actually killed, The Israeli Defense force claimed responsibility as they mistakenly thought those people were clustered Hamas group or they deliberately bombed them to escalate their genocidal intention.

Therefore, how many Hamas Members have actually been killed post October 7th.... rather an entire cityscape was turned to rubbles.

The annoying thing is that after this bombing, the Isreali are planning to settle his citizen on the blood and home of the Palentine with the help of the puppet in the Merica govt.

Every injustice should be called out irrespective.!

This is the china that does not saddle other countries with loan.

Nigeria is also facing huge budgetary problems due to servicing chinese loans, a problem likely to get worse in the future.

You hate the west and western media but close to live in the same west.

You know, China, Russia, Iran, Lebanon all have embassies and issue visa

The money they are 'funding' Ukraine is being put back into the economy. Read that most of the military hardware will be built in the UK. Goodness knows all the T&Cs for the 'aid'.

Also if russia is allowed to conquer ukraine, they will keep marching west wards, eventually europe would start another war.

Lessons from world war 2 is still fresh in their mind

in this obodo onyibo. Who wan help you even in churches

When you are in need you go understand that the only people you have are your family... Blood relative and no one else
Even 10 pounds no one will dash you here.

I landed a 20 hours forklift job after I did a certification that cost me a much... That certification in that field prevented others who don't have same certificate from applying.
So you can see that the job market is responding to demand and supply.

People came to attack me saying lie, lazy this that... Someone that gathered 15m in Nigeria without fraud is lazy.

You're not lazy, you just don't seem to have the right mindset to succeed here. May be in Nigeria, your mindset works.

This person below is one the persons that entered uk recently and is already holding down 2 jobs.

Go to the uk immigrant thread and see people getting information and making moves, many of the recent immigrants.

Not sure you have taken time to connect with anyone there or asked questions there, rather stay here writing your book of lamentations.

The uk mortgage thread has awoken from dormancy and is now one of the top thread in the travel section. Check many of the active members, they are recent immigrants also.

You think they all had it far better than you?

Every aboki to his kettle, I leave you to continue in your ways

Stay here or go legitimately

You waste time talking to that guy. Since the guy mentioned that no evidence of subsidy removal in spite of the obvious, I note he is not one that quarrels with common sense.

If after you supported Tinubu and likely Buhari, you are seeking to go to Poland as an illegal immigrant, common sense would tell him that something is wrong in his reasoning, but alas, he remains at war with common sense.

He continues to blame Peter Obi for his problem and claim tinubu is the best. Not a very smart fellow.

When i saw the comment, I was struggling to remember where I saw this monicker.

The miscreant is not even looking for a proper emigration visa. He is hoping to abscond to poland on a visitor's visa. Probably go there to claim asylum, giving the country a bad name.

If legal migrants could be dealt with in this manner........ Imagine the life of an illegal immigrant......

This was common practice with Nigerian LL, in the dark days (it was even council properties, they illegally sublet)...... If they lived in the house with tenants, baba wàhálà.....

They would restrict use of the boiler, cooking, heating, washing machine, guests etc etc etc ......

I repeat, RENT MONEY IS DEAD MONEY ..... Would your mortgage provider, remove your door .......🤣

you just had to chip this in.

Icon2007:
I am just wondering why women in africa especially Nigeria are so obsessed with abroad a friend of mine is 43 and earning close to 1M naira he told me he has not been enjoying his home ever since his wife younger sister moved to uk with her family early this year the pressure has been for them to move out of the country as well But my guy said he no feel.go sit down for class again because he has been trying to get job oversea but getting plenty rejections.

The issue is not "traveling abroad".

The issue is women are easily influenced by trends or what their neighbors are doing.

If a woman's peer buys a particular kind of fashion ware, many women become restless trying to do the same and measure up.

Toluwanise247:

Who is baba ? That thief

What do you know about him?

For IGR,to debt size, the economic growth, baba had by far the best record in Nigeria's recent democratic history. Crude price was $20+ per barrel, man never made noise about being broke.

Athena6:


Thanks I have already sold it.

I don't regret anyway, at least for the past days I don't feel stressed about whether the dollar goes up or down

Na wa for you.

Told you not to sell. Before jan ends, you could have recovered your losses and likely made a gain.

Now

Dangote will get 6 million barrels of crude from the NNPCL in December.

GeneralZodd:


Bolt na No 1 for the game. Others follows, but Subsidy removal is really affecting Bolt. I was at their new office yesterday at Providence streets, as in very small office with only 2 staffs attending to drivers. One rude girl and one well manarred guy at the counter. Their formal office used to be very Big with offices, conference rooms, toilets and so many staffs with alots of drivers trooping in and out for support, but yesterday scene didnt show sign of growth. I hope indriver won't take over from them.

what exactly is bolts operating cost?

They don't own the cars, they do not bear the cost of repairs or maintenance of the cars...the software is a sunk cost, only updates are being done.

Why will they be struggling?

I do not see why any hailing company with enough commission to cover staff salaries and rent should struggle. Except their head office has given them target or they took a foreign loan from their head office.

Good day nairalanders.. please I need advice on what to do.. am married with three kids, 5, 3 , and a year old.. I own a bussines.. but for now my bussines is down, the has been very good and lucrative.. but due to lack of capital to invest more on it. It was now shaking.. but the thing now is that.. I have the capital to invest on the bussines.. but now am saying should relocate abroad with the money and leave my 3kids and wife back home or invest on the bussines.. cus am traveling with a tourist visa and it’s a Europe country and I don’t how long it will take to get my papers over there please Nairaland I really need ur opinion not make future mistakes

Thanks

tourist visa is not meant for business or work. You're taking a big risk and risking the welfare of your family. Most likely you will not see them for years and since you are not with the right documents may not find it easy there either.

Ikaeniyan0:


E will never get back his #8 million as things dey go

Nigeria will devalue more as we go into Dec & Jan.

Nigeria will be delisted from many key indices in Jan 24, fundamentals of the economy remain the same.

A significant amount of crude is now used to settle oil-back loans, even Dangote refinery cannot get feedstock.

it not as it seems. Am lonely and very depressed. I need a woman obviously.

a professional guarantor. How did you figure?

Athena6:
Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.

Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure.
My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.

One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks.
After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.

Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.

Right now, I am very angry.
Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o

Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses.
I am so tired 😫

No rush, give it till January. FG has injected cash from loans raised, but nothing has changed in the fundamentals. So I'll advise you hold on and give it a few months.

Thewritingnerd:
I read the right thread, I didn’t see anything there that warrants anyone saying someone “lacks the right mentality to succeed” 👍🏾

Unemployed immigrant blames landlords for asking for 6 months' rent or a guarantor rather than asking where he can get a guarantor since he does not have the cash to pay six-month rent.

Paints gloom and doom over employment prospects in the UK when he has only been applying for a job for one month. He may not even have the right kind of CV, to be applying in the right places. The guy may not even have his NI number yet.

Moans that it costs him a lot to come over. Does Rishi Sunak control the exchange rate?

Gloom and doom picture by someone who came on a very-shoe-string budget and rather than ask for help or guidance is complaining so much after just 1 month.

Not interested in talking about it more though. Anyone interested can embrace his way of thinking. I do not fancy his odds of success.

Thewritingnerd:
What you’re doing isn’t fair, the OP has literally been asking in the thread for anyone to link him up and even said he’ll be going physically to see a recruiter at 12 today. So what exactly has the OP portrayed for you to say “he lacks the mentality to succeed” ? Why is that even a nice thing to say to anyone?? 🥴

This haughty, shoulder-pad behavior of few people who portray to have made it is really somehow tbh.

That you have made it and someone is currently struggling doesn’t mean they lack the mentality to succeed, e sha ma rora. 🙏🏾

Probably you were reading a different thread

Stop this. We also came here last month and my husband is on his 2nd job. I as his dependent will be starting my job on Monday. Our children have since started school. If you want to come to UK come. But carry God along. He is the only one that is faithful.

Madam leave op and his supporters. The guy lacks the mentality to succeed and that you cannot help. Hi supporters will also attack you for saying otherwise.

The thread was not set up to complain not get advise on network.

Truth is if you lack a strong mentality and are not performance-driven you may not cope or be a mediocre in the UK.
