Hello guys,
I just registered with Mashmallow insurance with my Nigerian Drivers license. I indicated that I have driven for 4 years and no claims before coming to the UK. Now the vehicle insurance is requesting for a "Proof of your No claims discount". How do I go about this?
Your kind advice is needed. Thanks

Who says you can only do menial jobs in the UK? We have to unlearn all of these things. He's a lawyer and he can get good jobs here.

sokeril:
Alright,thank you. Maybe its not that bad then.
Cos he does not want to leave his lawyer work where he is quite comfortable to be doing menial work in UK. Thats his biggest fear.

Yes just anyone WITH a good case of being recognized in his or her field nationally or internationally. Not just your everyday IT professional

semmyk:
To a large extent, Amarathripple0 is on point regarding the Global Talent, just the 'anyone'.
Moreover, Global Talent is not as restrictive as it appears, especially as it's portrayed to be.
There is a thread looking at the US EB permit for talented persons (also on the Travel section)

Thanks, Amarathripple0. Indeed, as is customary on this forum, ain't no 'fighting'. You need not stress. We pass knowledge and move on. How people receive it, it's left. We all must just ensure we do our utmost best with correct, factual, relevant, practical knowledgeable posts.

I tried summarising on last page (and expatiating earlier post some weeks past)

All the best everyone

Travel visa free to UK, work unlimited hours per week, set up company in the UK etc and at the end, he and family can apply to be UK citizens

sokeril:
thank you very much!
please what are these benefits?
he is being reluctant because of his career,considering his legal career is doing good here.
the question he has been asking Is about what is he going to be doing in UK in term of job or profession if he moves there permanently.

Not straightforward and requires you to be exceptionally talented with strong recommendations from top people in the industry for you to make a headway. I'd advise you go for skilled worker or scale up visa or better still a startup visa

Amarathripple0:
Yea the process is a bit too detailed and complex. I’ve sha been noting requirements from the list and trying to plan ahead.

He should take up the offer so he can be dependent to his wife and enjoy the benefits till the get the indefinite leave to remain. If not, he will have to be applying for visitor's visa even if his wife gets the ILR

sokeril:
bro what of someone like my brother...his wife is a nurse in UK and is pressuring him to relocate permanently,meanwhile he is a lawyer here in Nigeria and not doing badly.
what's your advice for someone like him since he is not going there for studies if he relocate?.
should he make the move?

Some times you wonder how these people think. Same people would travel abroad and see how things work but they'd prefer not to make it work back home. For God's sake, a good transportation system is what makes a city. He prefers all those bolekaja or old rusty taxis still plying Ibadan? Mumu man

Send through your bank's internet bank platform using swift

Thiago6:
I greet the house oh. Please, is it possible to send funds from a Nigerian dollar account to a bank account in the UK?

If it's not possible, what other alternatives do I have to transfer money from Nigeria to a UK account? I'd really appreciate a reply. Thanks in advance.

I love this. Thanks for the ginger

Son of man!
Worry not, for thy father who hath in heaven knows your needs. If He can provide for the birds of the air and animals in the jungle, He will provide for you too.

Just carry bags and come over!

Email your school's visa team on this.

Trojan00:

JackDaAlienz:

A credit booster with an experian website will also boost credit score when it records the other direct debits etc

Thank you for this

Lexusgs430:
Account opened........

Download Totally money app, then register.......

that one de list for sure

Lexusgs430:
Start by registering on the voters list ........

Oshey ...I appreciate this. But what do you advise a new comer who stayed just a week or month? Can I get a CC at this stage or I wait small? Also can the likes of Klarna work same purpose?

Lexusgs430:
The best way to build credit scores, is to get credit facilities.......

Get one/two credit cards and start the journey........ Even if it's a credit card with horrendous APR....... Pay it all at the end of month, do this for a year or so .......

Then get rid of the horrendous CC for a CC with pocket friendly APR ...........

egbon @Lexusgs430 ...pls what do you think about LoqBox https://loqbox.com/en_gb/how-it-works for raking up credit scores? If you also know any other, I would greatly appreciate it

The heading though makes it look like the person who died was named Eniola

Creatorchris:
Bukka Hut, a popular Lagos eatery, allegedly committed suicide.



According to journalist Eniola Daniel, who revealed this on Twitter, Laolu Martins committed suicide around 3 a.m. today, September 28, in Lekki Lagos.

"The founder of Bukka Hut commits suicide. Laolu Martins, the founder of Bhukka Hospitality Limited, is said to have committed suicide around 3 a.m. today in Lekki, Lagos. So sad.

"A friend of his and other sources claimed he committed suicide for reasons I won't go into here," he wrote.

That's correct. You are entitled to 23kg x 2 + 7kg hand luggage

Queenessy:
Hello

My travel date is 28th and I booked qatar airways. I want to confirm if each person is allowed to take two boxes (23kg each) and one hand luggage of 7kg. It's been so confusing

Please I need you to share your experience with me.

Thanks

Downing tools with sense - I'm sure they can do it in such a way that its manned partially by selected team who will rotate instead of doing full time. They should be bound by the rules and standard of their profession not to leave such unattended to and also not disrupt operations. Only in Nigeria medical doctors will go on strike and refuse to attend to patients in critical condition.

Arysexy:
If power workers down tools, is it not akin to shutdown?

Do you think power is something you leave unmanned? The best is to shutdown and leave. If you leave power system unattended to, you cause damage and fire every where

Contact your account officer and disturb the hell out of him or her. But I believe it should be debited soon though.



[quote author=Realshima88 post=116989284][/quote]

Contact your account officer. Chances are that it may have been paid and you only need to ask them for your telex. Some banks too don't confirm on the form A site which is confusing.

Realshima88:
Please Good people. My form A Transaction got to the ADB_DISBURSEMENT stage 10 days ago and i am yet to be debited. What can i do? I have a school deadline to meet.

This is what makes labour protests become unpopular. Elsewhere they would just down tool and stay home. In Nigeria they will disrupt services and destroy it sef. You shutdown grid, are you not going to be affected? No sense at all.

Wow ...so happy to hear this. It can be so traumatizing but thank God it all ended well. May UK favour us all. Amen

Lekeleke2022:
I didn’t do any fresh application . It was resolved by home office since it was there fault.

Congratulations- Never give up!!! Did you have to pay for the second application or it was free?

Lekeleke2022:
My success story
April 1 - Biometric date
N.B - 2 previous visitors visa refusal

May 12- student Visa refusal -Reason given was the attached bank statement explaining the circumstances of previous visa refusal was a falsified document.

May 12- complaint made to Bank as it was a genuine bank statement.

May 13- Bank replied they contacted UK embassy and they acknowledged the error on their part hence they will withdraw the refusal.

May 13- June 22 (several mail sent to UKVI and they claimed they have made decision on my application ). Pleaded for it to be escalated as I haven’t gotten my passport back buh they said due to Ukraine war, they couldn’t escalate.

June 22- complaint made to home office but it took 20 working days to get a response from them.

July 21- They finally responded and they apologized and explained that the visa was issued May 13 but due to administrative oversight, it wasn’t passed to next stage.

July 26- picked up my passport with visa buh couldn’t travel with it as school claimed I couldn’t meet up with April class despite series of online lectures I attended . Online Lectures was only stopped first week July .
School advised I have to request another CAS and make a fresh visa application.

July 27- I mailed Home office again via complaint review stating my displeasure about how they made me miss out my resumption due to error from there part..I was also preparing for another application so I started another POF journey cos school won’t release another CAS without POF evidence.

August 16- I requested CAS from school cos I knew it might take 2weeks for them to release it.

August 23 - Home office replied that I should get CAS for another course date for them to revoke the present visa and reissue another one. Earlier that day ,Sheffield team messaged too also demanding new CAS to be sent to the mail they provided within 10 working days.
The POF I started earlier and also the CAS I requested earlier too helped. School frustrated me delaying the CAS. They finally released it after several calls.

August 30- CAS was released and I forwarded it to UKVI as requested.

September 8- British High Commission called I should submit my passport back which I rushed to submit that same day.

September 11- BRP details was sent to my mail . I was expecting mail from TLS for pick up for close to 2 weeks but no mail. So I felt since my BRP details was already sent to me and I didn’t go through the normal process, let me risk going to TLS to check it myself.

September 21- I finally picked my passport with New visa issued.

It wasn’t an easy journey but God came through for me.

This man has gone to sell Nigeria ooll

Ooh

Painsoother:
He was referring to SAN Kayemo, state labour minister of ass lickers

You aptly captured the issues. This are the problems stunting our growth as a nation. Government knows what to do but chose to politicize it to gain favour at the detriment of the people. The Unions and Labour congress too don't help matters ...they all know that option is the best but will want to guilty trip government by saying they are selling national treasures even when they are in bad state ...crazy Are UK universities owned by UK government? The earlier we all see reasons and let go off subsidies, the better for us all.

Kasssandra:
As for the ASUU strike, both government and ASUU are trying to avoid stating the obvious...that fees may have to go up to pay for extra university funding (That has been the issue since 2013, when GEJ told ASUU that he did not have the finances to meet the 2009 agreement).

If Ngige announces a fee increase, the government would be labelled evil. If ASUU supports a fee increase, it loses face.

Either way, I don't see how government is going to find billions to pay off ASUU...or indeed pay off any government union that goes on strike...without either increasing fees, increasing taxes, removing subsides on petrol, or all three together.

not his fan either but good thing he got qualification in administration ..I guess its public administration too which fits in for the role he currently plays albeit incompetently

Kasssandra:
Ngige also has a postgraduate qualification in administration. (not his fan, before you start).

very true ...none really but even with political appointees, they are only the voice and face of the ministry and not the technical mind. We should blame the technocrats within the ministries for failures and ofcourse the political appointee for not identifying ineptitude in the technocrats

GardenOfGod:
Can you sincerely point out any Ministry in Nigeria that is effectively working?

All of them are political appointees, and so, they are they for their own personal benefits.

The amount is quoted in Naira so using domiciliary card may not work but I don't know though.

Promoter2:
You'll be charged black market rate and you'll need a domiciliary card.
