Unfortunately, I did not see it. I have sent a PM to you instead.

jtech17:
Sent you a PM too...

There is a general delay and lots of people are having to wait without an alternative.

You can only wait also, they will begin to clear off the long wait soon.

solalal36:
Hello, please I need urgent advice.
I went to the post office to collect my BRP and I was told they haven't received it. The thing is I want to apply for NI number but there is no available alternative for me.

NB: There seems to be a delay in the production of BRP

Engineering is still lucrative in the UK, but this depends on what level of 'Lucrativity' you want

Also there are still lots of jobs, got 2 easily before leaving. So you might find it easy also.

Send a PM, I will reply with an email to send the CV to.

Remix10:
I would like to remain, is engineering not lucrative enough? Where will I send it bro?

I could assist in the review and maybe some few tips also. Would you want to remain in Engineering or preparing for a switch?

Remix10:

You know its actually a waste engaging him, people have fun in diverse ways and this one particularly choose stupidity.

May the light of love shine his path!

humblemoi:
I truly cannot believe someone who claims to be accomplished thinks this way. What a wow! To be frank, I am very disgusted. No regard for human life is all I can read.

Some people just come on here to prove daft points....rather than learning or sharing

Anyways, good luck to you.

Good and expensive hospitals yet your Buhari and Tinubu choose London hospitals to get medical care?

You seem very good in personal deceit, keep it up!

Uzomarrr123:
Good access to health care.

Come on bro…let’s be realistic, there are very good and expensive hospitals in Nigeria

Infact , there are hospitals in Nigeria, you will find your white British doctors

Not access to health care

It should be “not access to funds to afford those hospitals”

People die from from cancer too in the almighty UK and US

You will need to visit the schools and submit your interest, then also contact the council to obtain forms where you will be given options to select choices of schools and given one of them. Not a difficult process at all.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Docs,

What is the duration of your course?

Someone can say anything they like!

Bmuhd4smile:
Please house, anyone running MBA programme in the UK currently?

Someone said I will get 2yrs and 6months visa for the program. 1year for class and 1year for work. Then I will be given another 2years for work again. Abeg how true is this o

At least dog father wont beat them for staying quiet

Instead of coming out to spit vomit.

Lexusgs430:
The problem they have comes in 2 forms......... GOD FATHERS.......

They prolly got into govt the same time. The difference is one decides to have a sense.

It's clearly not by age in Nigeria.

Bourne007:
Biden's last role before elected was VP 4 years ago.

Buhari's last role before elected was cattle rearer 30+ years ago

Nor be by age sha....Biden na same age and lots of people still expects he would be very 'digital'

Youths like Desmond and co, and middle age like Sanwo-olu...are they any different?

Lexusgs430:
Are you shocked or surprised........ Some of us here, mentioned it would hit 600 by December......

Buhari and my Mother, are age mates..... My Mother in her present age, cannot be the president of Nigeria.......

She is got no major medical health challenge, apart from been regular medications, for her HBP (which is very controlled)......

She's does not use dentures or hearing aids, still walks unaided etc etc

She is still full of life, but cannot be an analogue president, in a digital age.........

I think you will be putting yourself in a very difficult situation.

While she does full time, you can also work 20hours during term time to support yourselves. But it better to have at least a year tuition fee and also some balances for maintenance as there is no guarantee of a job immediately you get in or even a month after.

I am not sure of any establishment or finance house that gives loan to an international student (and you are not entitled to public funds)

You might need to go back to the drawing board.

Thanksss:
Good afternoon fam please I'm seriously in need of everyone's help and advice, going for Masters in Birmingham dis January wit wifey. Our plan is that I will be going to school while spouse will be doing full time job to help pay the
Second 50% tuition fee.

We've already paid 2000 out of 6400 first part payment and we have the 2400 that we can easily pay but the problem now is that we were thinking we going to get loan of 2000 to add up wit the 2400 we have to pay by January, but all the finance house are not willing to give us the loan...

Please I Don't know if there's anywhere or anyone that gives loans to international students which I will repay with whatever interest charged.

Check this ya purpose wella oh...

You are not allowed to work with a visiting visa, except you want to break laws that might affect you for sm number of years.

Do not follow the crowd!

Wonuola111:
I'm applying for the UK visiting Visa

My purpose of traveling is to work when I get there

Adding to previous response,

1. Prospects of getting jobs in the UK are unknown at this time, especially with Covid and Brexit. Though nothing is impossible.

2. Having NEBOSH with your safety experience will prolly be useful but you will def need to do some additional courses in any of the choices made. You will be fine.

JBoy9:

Largely depends on the time you have spent here and records.

You could start up with Aqua or Capital one then build from there.

Hello everyone,

Aphrodite007:
@beryour hi!

Can you post what you would like to ask me here so I can respond openly. If everyone spoke in secret, other people wouldn’t learn from our experience. Besides my privacy matters a lot to me (before some people will come and beat me up in my house )

Accept my apologies for declining the private message.

This is the koko of the matter...

Whatever choice you make as regards banking is your personal kinikan, we all cant go same direction and doesnt mean the other direction is wrong.

Make una dey calming down ooo

DisGuy:
Traditional banks and challenger banks are not our family business except you're shareholders ofcourse...so no need taking anything personal on their behalf

We bail them out; we still get shafted!!

Unfortunately, there are no 'cheap' universities. But some affordable ones from your choice will be Stafford uni, BCU, Uni of wolve, etc.

TemmyDavies:
Hello guys, I am in need of suggestions regarding cheap university options around Manchester,Coventry,Birmingham or Bristol, trying to process study in the UK fkr my younger sister who is currently in Nigeria but i need to know available options from people who has been in the UK, currently in the uk and thise processing, open to all opinions

From someone who is 'family-driven' I would say you should consider moving to the UK with her.

You already have strengths in 2 careers and you can develop anyone one of each or even a new one. I also switched from engineering into I.T even though still at inception.

Going to Canada as a student still leave you being dependant for a while and away from your loved one...anything fit happen.

Seeing that you already doing good with startups and bit of IT, you can only develop more on that if you want.

br33zee:
Hi guys, i'm just joining the thread and i suppose some members here live in the UK. Please im in a dilenma right now. I need advice:

I'm getting married to my fiance soon and of course interested to leave with her.
She's a nurse....processing her papers to migrate to the UK.

I, on the other hand, mechanical engineer but since graduation, I've been in the tech space...dealing with digital marketing projects, wordpress (website) and graphic design projects. Eventually, developed two startups. One is a digital marketing startup. The other is a partnership. Also, I'm currently rounding up my online masters with University of South Wales btw

My issue is...if i move with my fiance after marriage, what am i chances in the UK (She's a nurse)

Additionally, I have an option to move to Canada as well but its for schooling....meaning I'd be dependent for a while.
I personally have made researches and Nigerians rate Canada more than the UK when it comes to the opportunities for immigrants. I want to know if this is really significant to consider in this my situation because my fiance is not entirely keen on moving to canada cos their nursing registration process is more rigorous as she might also have to do some courses before working!

Unless i move to canada and she moves to Uk and we maybe link up later. I dont know how thats meant to work! Please help clarify life and career opportunities in the UK for someone with my track record. That might help me make a decision. Thanks guys

Rate is quite high but these guys have extremely poor rating on trust pilot and other review sites, not sure they are that reliable.

HiddenID:
Hello everyone,

The latest one is https://secure.mukuru.com/

Rate currently at 573.

I haven't used this one personally but lots of my friends have used it recently. I don't even have anything to send to Naija again as I've sent everything I've got through MoneyFex. No saving again sef

I hope I'm not becoming obsessed with this sending money thing sha. Nonsense and ingredients

Anyways, just sharing for those who has a reason to send money home. Cheers

You are 100% correct on that, they are also FSCS covered, so funds up to £85k is safe!

wonlasewonimi:
Na lie. I do more transactions on my Starling than all my other bank accounts. My business account is even with Starling.

The checks they do to set you up is more sensible than traditional banks ; they do close fraudulent accounts too.

Bring the pounds, lemme test for you

LagosismyHome:
I just wanted to test money flex and sent 300 pounds to my naija account. Two cards declined the payment to go through.

Has anyone used this site before

I am actually looking for pounds for smone, thats the rate the person indicated

LagosismyHome:
calm down

Can you do 560?

dafemnet:
What ur rate

Is your certification from Amazon AWS based? If yes, then you have a great opportunity.

If not, that will be the exams/certifications you could look into....alternative is Azure.

I do not understand incurred wastage with agents as you do NOT have to pay anyone to get a job.

Good luck!

IGBOELI:
[b]Good morning Everyone!

Please i actually need your kind response to this few questions I've got.

I currently reside in Nigeria. Am an Engineer who has had above 5yrs working experience in the telecom industry with a few certifications from Amazon.

I desire to join the UK workforce. What exams or other recommendations can someone share with me that will give me a clear cut edge and help reduce wastage incurred with Agents and all.

Do I need to join any UK professional body (for Engineers)?


Will appreciate your responses.

Lexusgs430:
What is Umidigi......

Guess you were lucky there, lol

So would you rather buy normal or auction? also what other good sites do you know?

Lexusgs430:
You bid on what you see....... They are very trustworthy, but every auction is a gamble.......

The auction house would take pictures and state their initial assessment...

I would give you a personal example. I bought a used LHD drive jaguar from Japan at under £150.00 (vehicle was described as not driveable, not starting, key not turning)......

I took a gamble, bought the vehicle. It was shipped to Tilbury. On arrival, after paying all dues, I went to Tilbury with my toolkit and a brand new battery.........

Collected keys, as described vehicle not turning, I put new battery in and the beast woke up to life......

The jaguar served me in Nigeria for over 11 years, till I sold it........

How trustworthy are these guys though
