Has anyone travelled out of UK as a student during term-time with no issues. I am looking to take one month for my dads burial but school is saying they can give me only two weeks. I am on my dissertation which doesnt require physical attendance in school.

Baba ..brace up and take that flight out except you are one of those '....favour me and my family' At 48 start angling towards managerial roles. Take more courses and upskill to match your new environment. All the best


Usefulsense:
This is my story. Please advice.

I sent my wife to Australia in 2021 on student visa.

She has invited us, myself and our children aged 12 and 9 and our visa is out. I have also paid like 6 months fees for my children school which was a requirement for the visa.

Owing to her performance at her work place, the company she works for has promised to sponsor for PR. Infact, the process just began and we are sure of having the PR.

I am currently 48 and won't be able to support my family working in Nigeria. Wify has encouraged me that we will be fine that abroad is meant for 2 people.

My only constraint is my age, hence my question. If you are in my shoe, will you travel?

By the way, I work for a private firm here in Nigeria and you know what it is working for a family company.

Agriculture › Re: Rice Mills In Nigeria Closedown After India’s Ban On Rice Exports by bigtt76(f): 1:11pm On Aug 31, 2023
So why would the local millers decide to shutdown at a time when they should be angling to make a kill on the patronage they will be getting? I'm confused.


Botragelad:
Alright, mate, let me explain what this news is saying in a simple way. It's about how India's ban on exporting some types of rice has affected Nigeria and other countries that depend on importing rice from India.

Basically, India decided to stop sending out non-basmati rice, which is a cheaper and more common kind of rice, to keep the prices low in their own country. This means that Nigeria and other West African countries can't get enough rice from India to meet their local demands. Nigeria has been trying to produce more rice locally, but it still needs to import some rice to make up for the gap.

Now, because of the shortage of rice from India, the local rice farmers and millers in Nigeria are also struggling. They can't get enough rice to process and sell, and they have to deal with other problems like border closure, sanctions, and bandits. This has caused many of them to shut down their businesses and lose their income.
As a result of all this, the price of rice in Nigeria has gone up a lot in the past few months.

Now, to answer your question about whether or not it is the raw rice from India they mill in Nigeria and brand locally produced rice, the answer is no. Nigeria imports mainly Indica white rice from India, which is already milled and polished. Nigeria also produces its own local rice, such as Ofada, Abakiliki, and Lake Rice, which are different from the Indian rice in terms of quality and nutrition. The local rice is milled by local millers who add value to the product and create employment. Nigeria does not import raw rice from India and repackage it as local rice. That would be considered dishonest and illegal. That's my little idea!

He did well, if not the junior officers are likely to revolt against the senior ones. Stagnation in the military is one of the major causes of coups

Kingsmeal:
Kagame decided to Weaken his Own Military, at the expense of Rwanda rather than leave Office - this is the Kagame that Nigerian Governors just traveled several Miles to go and learn "How to run Govts from!"

After 23 years in office and claiming to have to turned Rwanda into Paris and Dubai, he is unable to leave Office for the things he has started to be passed on to the next generation...

Good stuff. So even though you have the cash to pay off at once, form the habit of spending it through credits and loans just to build your score. For example using my own experience, instead of me using my debit card for regular shopping, I use my credit card and use my balance in my debit card to pay off my credit card. This way, I'm seen as having utilised credit facility and paying it off timely. Here in the youkay, credit and loans are a necessity even if you can afford to pay cash. Currys failed because no record of you having been given a credit or loan before and you paying back.

profemebee:
thanks, i just checked my clearscore and i have 740/1000.. and it says it is Stable..

I don't do loans or debts as i always normally pay off once without any credit, but decided to use the Currys finance as a first-time.. and it failed..
Travel › Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by bigtt76(f): 11:49am On Aug 30, 2023
Your credit history >>>> your credit score. Credit score is only a prediction of your credit worthiness and not an actual reality of you being reliable to be afforded a loan facility, they (Bank or Currys) still have to confirm this.

Not having a loan or debt is not a good thing so to speak ....having them and paying regularly is better. Also, note that Currys (for example) may rely on other credit reports aside from Experian. I would suggest you sign up to Totally Money, Credit Karma or Clearscore to get the report from other CB.

All the best.



profemebee:
This credit score thing is funny...

My Experian score is 998/999, and i was still refused Currys financing service when they did a soft check.

I really don't understand why, even with over 3 years address and no loans or debts or anything..

Can anyone explain why it might have failed?

I'm asking because I hope this doesn't mean a hard credit check for a mortgage won't fail me?

cheesy cheesy cheesy ...did you get it? On Experian, you can actually lock your profile against hard searches though. Also, do not be in a haste to apply for another CC until after 6 months at least else your score would take a deep dive if another hard search is carried out.

Having more credit cards is a more dangerous game, not many people can play. In UK, the ideal is 2 or 3, then balance transfer cards for well-thought out heavy expenses with extreme discipline.
