Congratulations. God be with you and your family.

MrUgo4christ111:
It is with joy in my heart and a gladdened spirit,I wish to inform esteemed family section members that I am now a father of a bouncing boy given birth to buy my wife in the early hours of this morning

We had tried for so long to have a baby,there were doubts creeping in from friends and family alike but our faith in God never wavered.It wasn't easy.My wife was having birth complications as the doctor said her pelvic region wasn't opening up enough to birth a child and that the baby was rightly positioned.Fear gripped me but I had to be a man and offer encouragement to my wife because she was already asking me if she dies while giving birth,will I marry another wife? Those complications took a lot of strength from her and finance from me and she spent some days in the hospital before she finally gave birth in the wee hours of this morning to the glory of God.Mother and baby in good health.

Thank you lord for your mercies.

Home Office can't crack down on people they never licensed in the first instance naaah Rather it is the beneficiaries like the lady who would get reprimanded cos she's gone against the rules which said - don't pay for COS or job in the UK. All she needed to do was apply directly to the care homes or agency and not give monies to some agent who probably went behind to apply on her behalf to an agency who has now ran out shifts.

dustydee:
Won't it be nice if the HO or any government agency cracks down on these people taking advantage of innocent immigrants?
We complain that things are bad in Nigeria yet it's this same attitude of covering up for others that, largely, led us to where we are today. If you ask me, I'll say keep reporting them until they all go out of business.

If you do this, they would hate you for life! Struggle and get a good job. Invest in them and watch the dividend in the future. BTW what did you study or time of job you are looking for?

Loveabove:
Please I need you people's advice and I want to be as brief and straight to the point.

My sister gave birth to 2 children under circumstances I'm not to explain here. She took ill and passed away last month.

Since we were just two of us, (our parents are late) the responsibility of taking care of this little kids of 8 and 5 has fallen on me.

God knows I love these kids and would take them as my own but I don't have a job and struggling seriously to survive. It's killing since they became my full responsibility. I was thinking any of the extended family member or a good person would come up to take them.

House rent has expired and problems everywhere.

Since no where else to take them to, I'm considering taking them to the orphanage. It's not my fault please. If I have the means, i would keep them and take very good care of them as they are very dear to me.

Like i said, i love this two boys and would take them as mine, providing for them now as it should, is the challenge.

Their presence is even affecting the small thing I am doing, especially by way of paying attention to them.

Please advise me on what to do.

This your gaslighting format nor go work

Business. 6M can give birth to 60-100M in a year. I'm not sharing my Intel. And I'm not asking for investors. We dey build on a steady beat

A useless course most probably which is why he has time on his hands to troll 😂🤭

What did Reno Omokri himself studied at school

These ones are mulling an option that does not make sense. You only redenominate your currency to offer portability if it is a necessity. We are not currently facing this now because aside the fact that we have a robust (side-eye) electronic transfer system in the country transactions in the country are not currently dollarized ...that is people preferring to be paid in dollars locally due to the bulkiness of the transaction in naira. Redenomination would not improve the inflow of USD but could rather lead to dollarization.

It's not mandatory to do a registered mail for the BRP but during mine (when Royal mail strike were on), the lady at the counter suggested I do it to avoid matters that touches 😂

Wking:
to be candid i never knew i was suppose to do a return label for it. i just went to the post office and send with the white envelop and also registered it and someone must sign for it.
when i got my provisional license and i was told the brp will come separately in the mail but haven't seen anything till date.

Good stuff, congratulations on your successes. Just what we want on this platform 🙏🏾🎉

Estroller:
Appreciation post!!!

Special appreciation to all that have taken their time to freely share their experience with others on this platform, this has helped many myself inclusive in settling down and subsequently growing in the UK. A journey that would naturally have been a difficult one was greatly eased by your selflessness and desire in seeing others succeed in areas where you have in the time past struggled.

My modest growth in the few years I've lived here can be greatly traced to this platform. I maxed out my ISA allowance for the first time in the last tax year (hopefully 1st of many to come), became a homeowner early last year + a substantial career boost.

I'm echoing what others have said in the past that the wealth of resources available on this platform is unbelievable, underestimate it at your own peril. To those just coming in, it can only get better from here on, take advantage of every resource available here, in the midst of those banters are life changing gems. Wish us all success and growth in this land. May we all eat the good of the land.

You should have gotten it by now. Takes a week at most after they receive it. Did you send it with a paid stamp return envelope that you can track? I always advise folks to do this sha.... for both sending and receiving.

Wking:
my people how long does it take to send back my brp after issuing provisional driver license.? cos i was told brp will arrive separately in the mail, this is over 3weeks and i haven't gotten my brp card.

Applicable interest rate would kick in on the unpaid balance if it goes past the maximum due date

rinzylee:
Let me ask a silly question


If you have a credit balance of £100 to pay by Sept 4th, 2023 and a minimum repayment amount of £25.

What will happen

A) if you only pay £25?

B) you pay £60?

C) Pay £25, then pay another £50 by 30th and pay the £25 balance by October 5?

Answers will be appreciated.

Thank you

Funny how people just come here to troll and insult others for no reason. Some of us just do all we can to help w=others with our experiences and suggestions but some are just angry for nothing. We go de alright las las

gmacnoms:

Yes it is

Is the MMF in naira?

Does the dates coincide with the end date of your studies? Best you check this and confirm with your school then go with the advice they give.

Happyfellow147:
Hello everyone,

I got a letter from the council for council tax and I’m wondering if people pay as high as £188 each month as council tax. I was living in a serviced apartment with bills included so this is my first contact with bills.
Also as a student, I learnt I should either be exempted or pay a reduced rate.
My husband is working fully though.
What next steps can I take?

My second concern is the letter that was shared some days back about overworking.
I registered with two agencies and because shifts are not that stable, I can get one shift from each agency per week. I’m aggregate, it’s two shifts per week but both are 12 hours shift.
I have been concerned that this does not affect my PSWP application.
Can anyone share their thoughts

Yes O! Not worried a bit cos it's in a money market fund cooling off for now. At least small interest wey de enter helps buffer on the inflation and devaluation 😂

hustla:
Comot body if your body no carry am

Current speculations about FG wanting to 'defend' the naira so it's going down a bit

Trust it to go back up again with renewed force and shege

Hmmmm ....omo e no easy. I de this table sef

hustla:
Trust Naira at your own peril

It depends on your expenses in the UK. If your new salary can cover it, then by all means preserve what you have in Nigeria by investing in mutual funds to earn some interest higher than normal savings account. But if you feel the naira savings would be at serious risk of depreciation, then try to move them over.

adekzy:
Hello folks, 3rd month in the Uk, recently got a job (to be starting soon), however, my major income is still in Naira from my Naija business, and the exchange rate is worrisome, should I still keep the naira savings in Nigeria 🇳🇬 or I should start converting to GBP irrespective of the rate.

Need experienced advice please.

Thank you.

Re-try filling the application and see what happens. I hope it was this link you used https://motoring.dvla.gov.uk/service/DvoConsumer.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=COA&_nfls=false

lavida001:
Got absolutely no reply of such

Yes I have. All you need to do is fill out the form online and you should get an email stating what's in the image attached. Check your SPAM folder perhaps it went in there.

lavida001:
I applied for a change of address on my provisional licence on Dvla website but didn’t get mail or feedback from them. Has anyone try changing address on their provisional license here ?

What were the steps you took?

Yes you will be asked those questions but it is fine to say that you are currently in talks with landlords and agents on those platforms I shared. They will understand that you do not need to have a contract in place before you get your visa.

[quote author=voucher post=125117856][/quote]

Best option is look at Airbnb first and when you arrive, you now work towards a permanent solution. But you can check on Zoopla, OpenRent, RightMove websites for an idea into these.

What other information do you need for your pre-CAS? You might need to look in the other thread dedicated to UK Tier 4 Visa https://www.nairaland.com/7767052/uk-student-visa-tier-4#124465678

Good evening house, please what site can I check to get an apartment for a family of 5 in London? I need the information for my Pre CAS interview, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this as the site i was asked to check is confusing..thank you

...Hitting the nuclear button - omo las las na olopa go carray everyone oo

This is sad really, why employ people without giving out shifts. I guess the beneficiaries too were desperate to relocate and ready to part with some dough which the sponsors were ready to mop up unlike CBN who couldn't mop up the excess naira in circulation.

Lexusgs430:
Unfortunately, nothing can be done ...... They cannot give, what they don't have ........

Not unless you're thinking of cutting off your nose to spite your face ...... Hitting the nuclear button.......

So pe oti lo... Next thing they will promise a new transition period when elections would be held since a civilian prime minister is in place and boom. ECOWAS would lift the sanctions and it's business as usual 🤭😂😂 Ecowas is toothkess and no one respects them in West Africa.

ManirBK:
Good development

When the sanctions are lifted, what are they going to offer in exchange?

The test of morality is what you do when you have power

Ohhh I was expecting them to mention skilled worker visa or something, thanks for pointing that out though.

koonbey:
Didn't mention ILR. It mentioned leave to remain which is the technical term for a visa that grants residency status (even temporary).

I don't see any reason to doubt that it's real. Only thing I'd point out is that what they both have in common is switching before finishing their studies. Maybe that's why they had additional scrutiny?

Edit: I actually doubt these, especially the one that says 'Tier 2' because I don't think HO uses that term anymore since the end of 2020.

Hmmmm... It's confusing really thanks for the insight.

Zahra29:
The letter mostly looks and sounds authentic.I'd query the dates highlighted by HO as they are outside of the student visa expiry date, not sure that still counts as term time?
I have heard of a few cases recently where leave has been cancelled or refused due to working over 20 hours so it does sound like HO is taking a firmer stance.
