Ummh Madam

In 2003/04, Whipp cross hospital seems to be the cheapest in london for around £1200 for private patient but as at December 2008, Mayday hospital is the cheapest in the region of 4/5k. I knew this 100%.

The manager in charge of Mayday's one is a Jamaican lady in her 40's.

Attached is their last years price list.
There has clearly been some misunderstanding somewhere . . . If the former moderator did not see what happened, perhaps you did not too, and so it was wrong for me to come down on you harshly as I did . . . Ikunle mi re, Uncle Methusalah, e fi ori jimi, e dakun . . .

Back to the manuscript, how many pregnant women/men was that "bill" you supplied, issued to? cheesy Or how can one woman have a normal delivery and a Caesarean at the same time shocked shocked shocked or unless she had twins and one was delivered normally and the other via Caesarean https://emoticons4u.com/crazy/1087.gif or unless the charges is that high because you are a pregnant man lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

From the "bill" you produced up there, the only charges that would apply to the OP lastpages by the grace of God is just £33 for outpatient appointment and £905 for normal delivery and the less than £150 she would have to cough up for blood (pathology) test.

And I have seen people giving birth and being kicked out of the hospital 2 hours later to free up beds, so she does not and will not need to spend a day in hospital. Her baby would not have to be delivered via caesarean nor would the baby be premature and need to spend time in SCBU or NNICU in Jesus's name, SOMEBODY IN THE HOUSE SHOUT AMEN grin grin grin

By the way remind me next month to take appropriate steps to sack that Jamaican lady for embezzlement and misappropriation of funds and for slyly adding up the "price list" and presenting it as the total bill cheesy We also have to sue her at the tribunal for discrimination on sex ground, how dare she want to charge you my Methuselah more just to give birth, and nearly £5,000 because you are a man grin grin grin

Thanks alot dear. I just decided it was time to take a break. If things change-not that I'm expecting them to-good, if not, the show must go on. I am comfy and happy taking care of my baby myself. smiley
So happy to hear that you are holding your head up high, how's your little one, I am sure the joy you feel everytime you look into your baby's eyes and she smiles at you is enough to compesate for all you are going through, and hopefully the bond between you and your husband would grow stronger through your baby. And don't worry, all these too shall pass wink

I will be happy to know those loads.
Maybe if you'd asked in a non-antagonistic way, I would have indulged you, so do the legwork yourself, and google DrFoster.co.uk to get the numbers of the over 300 NHS trust in the UK and request to speak to their Overseas Patient Manager undecided

Besides giving birth is not rocket science, hence the reason the Government is pushing to get people to start giving birth at home cool

My sister in law -if she can be called that- is fine, I am no longer with her brother. We now leave seperately, eventhough we wants to come back. I'll not hijack this thread. That'll be another topic entirely.
Aawww, but without starting to sound like a hyprocrite, I would have walked too, but don't worry everything happens for a reason and if God says you will end up back together, who are we to question him. Stay strong and remain blessed.

[size=14pt]I was indeed speaking for myself and some others in travel section, not necessarily this particular thread.[/size] For ur information, a very nice fellow nairalander answered my question all those months ago, was very helpful, and with the extra stuff I got from the web, was able to travel here (UK) without stress.

I will be here for the next two years or so on a PSW visa with my hubby, so u can jump into a f-king lake, the collective lot of u for getting at me with such venom when I meant no harm.

She has no right to naturalise at 18 because there are no such provisions in the Nationality Act.

The only right she would have had was to Registration as a citizen if she had lived here continously for 10 years since birth.

@ big_bumper

At the risk of seeming to know someone in almost every situation- I know a lot of people!

My brother’s ex-girlfriend was born on the 8th of January 1983 in London and she is not entitled to UK citizenship as she was taken straight back to Nigeria by her parents shortly after her birth. She’s back here now on a student visa and has been studying for 7+ years now and she is still not entitled to UK residency or citizenship until she’s been here legally for 10 years when she can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain. Not because she was born here but because a person born in any country that’s lived here legally for 10 years can make the application; subject to the good character requirements et al.

And the rules keep changing of course.

I agree with Megatsu, an alternative is travelling as frequently as you can with your child and they should be able to get visas easily in future. And who knows what the future holds for Nigeria and the rest of the world.
What happened to her right to naturalise from the age of 18 shocked shocked shocked

Hmmn, I think the uncertainty was there even before the Carshopper factor. I was still waiting for a call from Abdul (Rasmur's lawyer) - which coincidentally never came when Carshopper came into the picture.

By the way I'm not Igbira, where did you get that idea from huh
You are not a bad guy, but things could have been handled better from your side, but thank God the dust has settled and everything has died down now and everyone has moved on.



wwheelz:
Interesting drama, the irony is  looks like seller and buyer  might have sealed the deal if not for the carshopper factor. IMHO Ahonohai (is this an Igbira name?) should have just been upfront with Oga Rasmur that he wanted a discount because of the mileage gap and acknowledged the gap is not Rasmur's fault. You know, dis Oyinbo-Nigerians (rasmur, no offence o), no dey get stomach for any kin' wayo.

Rasmur, I echo BB's comment.

@ Lastpages


If she cannot get automatic citizenship because you don't have residency or settled status in the UK, she has 2 choices open to her. Even people who turn up in UK to claim asylum have mouth, talkless of someone who was born in the Country.

Your son or daughter can either register to become a British citizen via the route mentioned by Ilelobola or later apply to naturalise as a citizen. So if you are not ready to spend the next 10 years trying to get yourself an "Aduro", she can always come back anytime and stay however long she wants, and as soon as she is 18, can apply to naturalise, but the only condition for that is that she has to have lived in the UK for 5 years.

Once again, If you don't have time to wait till she is 10, take her back home and as soon as she is 18 years old, let her go to apply for a visa to come to UK, she does not need any immigration officer's permission by virtue of the fact that she was born here, her birth confers her a right of abode and she will also have the right to live and work in the UK without restrictions.

Don't let anyone deter you, you can get loads of NHS hospitals to deliver your baby for around £1,500. And trust me it will be money well spent. Our goal is to pass on as much legacy as possible to our children, and our children's children. . .

Why am I saying "she" sef, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I am feeling broody and want a baby girl soooo bad cool

Good development wink

True but at the same time the moment, traffic jam is on the decrease everyone gets their own individual vehicle to 'enjoy' the comfort of driving congestion-free. Apparently there are more cars now plying the oshodi route after the 'market' clear out causing more traffic and pollution.
I think the govt should do more by charging people for driving (daily) and re-invest the revenue on building and maintaining road networks; building proper traffic lights and mass transit vehicles


the Government is not stopping potential investors per se, but potential passengers are not assured of their safety as there are no emergency service patrolling the river/waterways and laws guiding operators are not enforced or not in place. ferry operators should not be expected to provide embankments or 'stations' by themselves those should be in place, and the government still need to build other transport links to compliment the ferry services

oranges:
Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value.
This is subjective . . .

To give you an example, if I park 30 cars in my forecourt and the forecourt gets flooded, the Insurance Company's Loss Adjuster that comes in will write off all the cars as flood damaged, despite the fact that some of the cars might not have even touched by a drop of water. I guess it is something they do for safety reasons.



oranges:
This damage threshold may vary by state. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following eleven States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.
Wow, good reading smiley
