Depending on your visa type - visitor's visa holders might find it difficult compared to a skilled worker or study visa. Why the rush? undecided

Greetings all,

Please is it possible for one to travel to Uk like first week of February with a Nigerian Passport due to expire in March, 2023? Though new passport is in processing but was told it could take upto 6 weeks before it’ll be ready.

I think you should discuss this with them. I've read of some students getting full time jobs with NHS but temporarily restricted to 20 hrs until when they can do full time. At other times they get sponsored at the end of their studies based on performance.

Just discuss this with your hiring manager and see what s/he says or suggest.

But hope you know that back then, most of the Au pairs came from other parts of Europe - Eastern Europe especially and most were not legally documented hence it went unnoticed and more especially with UK still in the EU then. Don't do something that would make you Ekweremadu's neighbour oo cheesy


geekseventplace:
I dont know where you driving at. I know people who have operated this for the past 10yrs. They usually get an employment solicitor to draft the agreement required. Its more or less like an Au-pair program which allows people legally earn below minimum wage. I would have posted the link but i dont want nairaland axe grin but below is a snapshot of what the average earning of aupairs look like - feel free to verify if you want. There are people who are actually looking for opportunities like this, may seem exploitative on the outside but this is certainly not the intent. Plus i really cannot afford a full time nanny hence i am going for this. THe only reason i am not going via an aupair agencies is because the earliest they say they could get someone was in May but i want someone quicker.

This is crazy - I mean if he is managing a research project, he should be covered enough to afford to pay his rent I only hope he's not using sob stories to his advantage ...its bad undecided


Ralphlauren:
Maybe he owed rent or the landlord wanted to sell up or breakdown of relationship between him and the agent/landlord.

I'm just surprised he was evicted with the current ban on evictions in Scotland.

There must be more to the story.

Anyways, over 14k raised for him, so his format is clearly working grin

He's extremely lucky that social services were not called to take his kids away from him. Leaving those kids including a baby in sub zero temperates, at the back of a van, in a stairway . . . He's extremely, extremely lucky!

Nor bi you post on Twintter wey dem bash recently with the same package? cheesy

Anyway ...why not pay the nanny all what you calculated and let her sort out the accommodation, bills and utilities cheesy If she's working only 8hrs a day why need her to stay with you? grin



geekseventplace:
The total package is surely above minimum wage and i will explain.
As a full time nanny (7-days a week), maxiumum you can work is 8hrs/day and with minumum wage of 10£/hr gives you 2400£/month before tax and 1900£ after taxes. Accomodation & all utilities averagely 900£, feeding,Wifi Internet/mobile and other household expenses is averagely 600£. Hence if i pay extra 400£, i am matching the minimum wage already. Mind you, i didnt include cost of transportation, etc that would be saved when working a full time nanny.

Why was he chucked off his accommodation? shocked


Peerielass:
Ok good luck with this.

In other news, I’ve just seen on BBC Scotland news a Nigerian guy called Henry Okwo who was chucked out of his house in Glasgow last week. He ended up in the stairwell with his 3 young children and wife for 12 hours and this was during last week’s freezing temperatures. He is a student at Strathclyde university and is in the process of claiming asylum for ‘torture’ which I find a bit odd. He is a PhD holder and lead researcher for some project. They’ve now been put up in a hotel by a charity in Glasgow pending being re-homed by the Council. The guy is in the news to raise awareness about systemic maltreatment of asylum seekers.
Christianity Etc › Re: Have You Noticed All The Women Accusing Suleiman Are Into Acting/showbiz? by bigtt76(f): 10:41pm On Jan 23, 2023
He's deceptive that's why they are all exposing him. How you go knack today then tomorrow go church go de insult the people you knack 🤷🏿‍♀️


Goldmynemaniac:
Have you noticed that all the women alleging things against Suleiman are into acting/showbiz?

From the first accuser, Stephanie Otobo, to the latest,Halima Abubakar, they're all into the acting and showbiz industry.

I'm not defending anyone but just find the probability of this coincidence being innocent highly unlikely.

Back in the days of Archbishop Benson Idahosa, an actress was paid to hide in his hotel wardrobe, in a city he was visiting, to take compromising pictures of him while asleep. All without his knowledge but it was foiled when she started burning up in the wardrobe she was hiding in.


If I wanted to sell a lie, an actist would be the perfect pick to play the role convincely.

Why are these women not also coming out about politicians and business people they've affairs with if there's no satanic agenda to this to 'accuse the brethren'? Or do they mean they've never slept with anyone else?

If yes they ever slept with another man, why is Suleiman's own worth revealing and not the others? Could it be cause he's a man of God, and as such, his reputation is of great consequence? Most likely also because there is inducement.

I'm not saying Apostle is innocent though. Only God knows this.

Review your past and present situation... What has changed?

1. Did you miss a direct debit payment?
2. Did you move homes?
3. Did you over utilise your credit limit? 25% or more?

Something must have changed to cause this.

Hello Ancestors in the house, pls help me understand.I registered with clearscore last month to check my score and all was well until last week when I got an email that my score had dropped by 140 points without any hard search to get any credit card or loans.

Pls help me understand what dropped the score as 140 is not a small score ooo

Open a Revolut account instead use this https://revolut.com/referral/temitaim40!JAN1-23-AR ...they are fast to approve you and you get your debit card within 5 days. Starling has too long a wait time.

With your Revolut, you can get inflows into the account and get you started while you work on opening a conventional bank account. for the conventional account I would suggest a Llyods' Bank Classic Account - less stress especially for new entrants into the UK.

When you settle down small, apply for your AMEX Credit Card with this https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/tEMItOhbvx?XL=MNANS ...don't be scared of credits though cos you will need to build your credit score while you are here ...e get why cheesy
