mex551:
check Temu

Thank you very much.

Do you have any particular recommendations? Possibly from your experience of dashcam purchase?
I saw a very nice shoe on Temu. I ordered 1. Thru gave me a huge discount on a second pair. I paid for the two. When shoes arrived, I was shocked at t weight of the package. It weighed like feathers.
The two shoes I saw inside…. Well, it’s more than 5 months now? I have never worn the shoes.

Please, does anyone have any dashcam recommendations please?

Ideally, I would like something easy-to-install and cheap, please. I know ‘cheap’ is relative but if people have any recommendations I will appreciate.

If you love your sanity and don't want to be a victim of vehicle insurance fraud........ Make sure you instal dashcam.......

You have simply been fast gamed...... Victim of insurance fraud.... I think you did not act within reasonable time, to challenge this claim.......

Do you have any pictures or videos, of the incident........

(Sorry your friend)......,😂🤣

I have been reasoning this lately. All the ones I have seen in Curry’s were too expensive for me.

Please do you have any recommendations? Something cheap but which does the job.

Bourne007:
All these wouldn't apply as they are under 18 and will be exempted.

Are you sure they will be exempted? Even for kids that were not Born in the UK?
Even for kids that were born in Nigeria and only brought in as Tier-4 dependants??

farnet:
Please people, has any of the below happened, and what are the implications?

Parents applied for Graduate visa and couldn't do so for the kids, all less than 6years old, because of fund.

Particular questions
1. Is there anyway it affects or will affect the parents visa?
2. In what specific ways does it affect the children?
3. What if the family doesn't have long term plan living here. Looking at moving elsewhere in near future. Does it matter or wouldn't it be a waste of scarce money ( let's say that have it) applying for children that won't be needing a brp for anything or right to work?

Were the kids born in the UK? Or they were initially brought in as PBS -Tier 4 Dependants? If it’s the former, you (and the kids) have a lesser problem. If it’s the latter, I would strongly recommend that you find money and regularize the kids’ residency status.

congrats bro... you deserve the rest ooo.. pls how much is ILR now? did you do priority?

Thank you very much my brother.
Hi, that costs £2,885:00 only.
Plus an additional £1,000:00 only for super priority (to get a decision within 24 hours).
Note: The £500 for priority (to get decision within 5 working days) was not an option for my category.

Hello,

Please can suggest any organization that does training for Salesforce Admin. Thanks.

Have you tried enrolling for Salesforce’s own bespoke FREE training called Trailhead ?
It’s worth starting from there. If you haven’t, please try it out.

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/

Good morning great people.
Please, now that UK settlement has finally arrived. ILR Alhamdillahi.
Please, which countries can I visit visa-free to go and cool off small?
Anyone with experience?

profemebee:
hi hi,

1. what if one can't account for 5years in the UK (traveling out for a period) and one is now within the 28days for the expiry of the work visa?

2. what if one already has way more than 5years but the BRP date hasn't expired? this might be my own case.. i have till end of 2025 but i would have had more than 5years before then

1. Depends on the reason(s) for the long absences. The 28 days refers to the days before you are eligible for that visa.

2. It’s even nice (and better) to apply when you still have some time on your existing visa.

This was really useful:

Below is the official website

missjekyll:


Thanks. Should have been clearer

Infact, the super priority is £1,000.00 on top of the £2,885.00 application fee.

missjekyll:


Use the official LITK handbook. Read it twice and go to exam.
More importantly, fees now increased by 488 pounds extra.

Fees for Life in the UK test is £50 for most Monday-Saturday bookings. Some centres charge up to £65 for Sunday bookings.

The increased fee missjekyll (& Hyde) is referring to is the ILR (visa) application itself which increased sometime last year from £2,405 to £2,885 per applicant for normal (up to 26-week wait time application). You may be able to pay either an extra £500 (for priority) or £1,000 (super priority) to cut waiting times to 5 days or 1 day respectively.

derbylicious:
Happy new year.
Kindly recommend resources (app &/or website) for a successful life in the UK test prep please.

From personal experience:
1. These mini video series by Tom Bradford is bae.

2. This £4.99 app on Apple Store ( I’m sure there is an android version) was all I needed:

3. I see someone has provided another link, which I used too.

The exams itself was a breeze. Prepare well & you can finish the exams in 5 minutes.

Hello 👋 Gurus, Happy New Year 🎊

justwise and any other mod

Please who knows someone that has applied for Global Talent VISA before?

Currently putting out some documentation but there's no much information out there as people seem not to be taking chances on it.

Thank You Kindly

There’s a lot of ℹ️ information to the point it’s sometimes confusing.
Shoot your questions please.
What specialist subject area are you ‘eyeing’?
Do you want Exceptional Promise or Exceptional talent?
I previously heard that Technation endorsements has been paused.

Ask your GTV questions and let’s see where I can help.

Happy New year people

Zahra29:


Good advice but one that would be more effective if it was given at source - advising student applicants to keep and use their POF for what it's intended for. If they had the maintenance funds and fees they presented in their visa applications, then they might not need to work so hard - just the 20 hours stipulated in the immigration rules - and would hopefully avoid the extreme stress that is bound to arise from working to pay off fees and other debt while studying.
Justwise and others have preached this for ages but are often ignored.

Uhhh
Or if they must, let them get the kind of student job that Justwise got during his time.
He previously mentioned that he paid off his international student school fees from his student job earnings. And implied he was paid a lot per hour while on the limited hours allowed for students.

osayande1:
Use the new website, I had the same challenge. https://appointmentnigeria.iom.int/form/book-an-appointment

Please, how much in Naira was the amount you paid for tb test, please?

I know this may have been answered. But lease is there anyone with the most recent up to date info?

How much (in Naira) is the TB test for an adult please?

I know it should be paid to Standard Chatered bank. But I do not know what the most recent cost is.
Please help.

To see that the person who opened this thread Fatima004 is actually a Muslim. Who created a thread to help NigeriaNs in the UK. But suddenly, the thread is constantly being used by some who hate some ‘versions’ of Christianity to write what they dare not write on their own Facebook or Whatsapp statuses.

Persons who are spurred on, and emboldened by the person(s) who is/are supposed to be the moderator(s) on the thread.
It’s a pity.

dustydee:

It may be insulting but what if what if it's the truth?
A lot of people that preach it do it either out of ignorance or to scam people. That's why you hardly hear them teach the unfavourable passages about tithing. They also do not tell you that if you obey the law of tithing, you must obey all the other laws or you are cursed (No be me talk am, na bible).
People should study the bible and find out the following:
What is tithe?
Who should pay it?
Who should it be paid to?
How should it be paid?
When should it be paid?
If you start with these questions and sincerely answer them, people will be better informed.
Another potential scam that is creeping into chritianity is "first fruit". I once led a bible study where this was the topic and I could not teach it because the references given in the manual did not in anyway support it and they "twisted" it to fit the narrative. Years later, I attended an oyinbo church and the preacher tocuhed on first fruit and how it was done and my eyes opened. I asked him after the service about paying first fruit and his question to me was "Is it an African thing?" I was the second African to ask him about that. Since then I have not paid it.

I agree with your post above.
I am a Christian. And yes, I do pay 1/10th of my earnings as tithe. It is my way of helping the kingdom of God. It is my religious belief. You you may not agree with it hook-line-and-sinker, but it is what I have chosen to do. Because I love God.


But that someone will come and start pitying me, or even pitying my children is to say the least, nonsense. It’s my money. I did not steal it. I earned it. I decide what I want to do with it. How it is someone’s headache is what I don’t understand. And mind you, I’ve never ever asked this someone for shishi. I have never begged. I have never gone to food bank. I have never paid credit card interest. So why is it a problem to someone?

What happened to respect for others, including their religious beliefs?
I do not see my leaving Nigeria to the UK as an ‘escape’ . Why is someone crying more than the bereaved?

Shuooooo

Let’s have some sanity on this thread please.

Solumtoya:


Why's everyone so rude suddenly? Or everyone has been emboldened to show their rudeness? How am I building anticipation? I only got an offer and will share when I think I have all the details besides I'm not under obligation to give you the information so I don't understand why you quoting me to say this.

I think everyone just needs to calm down, we can do better here.

I honestly think Viruses was being cheeky, with no intention to be or sound rude. At least from their previous posts on this thread.
If that’s the case, I’m sure they will come & apologize.

But well, I may be wrong. I have seen how someone who used to be very cool & civil on the Visitor visa and the Tier- Student visa threads suddenly acted strangely today, on this thread. So…hey Ho

kwakudtraveller:
Such early Sunday morning toxic behaviour. Live and let live abeg.

Abeg @solumtoya help us with the details of your mortgage, or shall I move this ask to the Mortgage thread? I’m interested abeg. When you say visa type, what factors helped or blocked you? What percentage were you asked to pay as down payment, does dual income matter or can a single income get a 3 bedroom? Help a brother with info.

I want to co-beg too.
Please @Solumtoya, help us with this vital info. It will be very helpful.
Please, operate above the noise of these folk who have taken their toxicity & bitterness (of the Church) to this forum.

Someone once mentioned that there are certain person(s) on this thread who get mind blowing orgasms whenever they smell an opportunity to thrash the Church. Please ignore them and let’s bring this thread back to the sanity that Fatima004 envisaged when she started the thread.

Please I am interested too in learning the few things you e learned about mortgages.

@kwakudtraveller: please what is the mortgage thread you mentioned?

inphoenix:


You left the chat because I called out your hypocrisy using the bible you claim to follow. My message to you is to stop scaremongering and my angst is that you're painting me as the bad guy for trying to prevent someone from taking a rash decision based on "people said".

You initially said "your friend", now its your experience. 🤥

I'm passionate about this matter because I CAN RELATE!!! I gave rational counsel to someone based on the experience they shared here and you bring your holier-than-thou, know-it-all, attitude to discredit my advice?

Inphoenix:
What happened to you?
Back in the day you used to be very cool, calm and respectful on the UK General visit visa thread. You used to preach tolerance & respect on the Student thread. You used to reprimand bad behaviour.
Why have you suddenly changed? Please bring back the old Inphoenix.

Solumtoya:


This is what this thread is all about: Community of kindness and sharing.

I had decided to let go of this thread because folks like Justman had decided to use the opportunity of being a moderator to attack beliefs that people hold sacred. I never understand how one thinks it's wise to keep saying negative things about non-criminal religious doctrines. You won't do such in UK to people's sexual orientation, for instance, regardless of your stance on the matter. But because it's Nairaland, it's alright to say things like "someone's sacred doctrine is a scam run by crooks in the Church".

I digress... But, I think I will come back. My epistles have helped so many people here.

I passed my theory driving test yesterday, first time. I also got my Mortgage Offer last week after only coming here 2 years ago as a Student Dependant. These are only 2 examples of some of the ways God has used information from this thread to help me.

So, here's to more Communal assistance on Nairaland.

Bros, please don’t leave the thread.
I’m sure you (like many others) have benefited immensely from the free advice/recommendations/suggestions on Nairaland.

You can be a source of help to others too.

I know it’s difficult to ignore persons such as Justman who uses his/her moderator powers with reckless abandon. But for the sake of the millions of silent majority, stay.

For the sake of folks like Fatima004 who started this thread.
SemmyK who has been really helpful.
TheGuyFromHR who is really wonderful.
Lexusgs430 who uses his version of dark humour to pass across great points.
Ticha who is one of the most amazing woman on this thread.
Zahra29 (our own Suella-let)
MissJekyl - the wonderful Labour Party madam who uses every single opportunity to bash the Tories (I’m sure she is ‘smelling blood’ now as the keys to No10 are looking very feasible with Sir Keir leading in all polls).

For the sake of people like Chreze
People like MamaTukwas
Etc….

Quitting the thread means the toxic lot have won.


Let’s try and live beyond the toxicity.

rinzylee:




Wetin carry church enter here again?

Madness!

Me sef dey wonder.

Inphoenix used to be very nice and civil or.
The Inphoenix I used to see used to preach about being kind to each other on these streets ohhh

I was honestly surprised how Inphoenix carry church enter this matter.
Totally unnecessary.

inphoenix:


I don't have patience for stupid talks like this. The lady clearly narrated her circumstances and what transpired, and how the matter was resolved, but you lot are here creating scenarios in your head!!! No 2 circumstances are the same and hers was resolved in her favour. I have not said she should not be careful, all I have said is that she should not send her child back to Nigeria because social services were called!!!!

I am not responsible for your ignorance. You all have ignored every other thing I said and keep taking this "tick box" thing literally

I repeat again, from my personal experience, once police is called on ANY matter (i.e not only about staying home alone) involving a child, as a matter of practice, a social worker will be called to conduct a risk assessment, which is just a bunch of questions to determine if any further action is required. If no serious cause for concern is found, the matter dies there!!! (except another report is made of course) I was telling the lady not to be scared that a social worker was involved because it is standard practice and she needs not just ship her child off to Nigeria because of this incident, but you're here arguing "case dey build for back" as if you're the police officer or social worker in charge!!!

You people like arguing for the sake of it and refuse to pay attention to context. I don't ever speak on what I don't know, and it is sad that shallow minded, ignorant people like to run people's lives in this Youkay wey we all dey on top "dem say".

It's people like you who call police and social services on people because of a "hunch" - sad, bitter people!!! 🙄

Take a chill pill.
Relax.
You are beginning to sound like the nuisance that you actually are not.

Rest.

Good day my people. Please I need your candid advice. My visa is about to expire in January. I just got to know HND holder would need English test for UKVI.please which of the tests is easiest to pass SELT, IELT and others which I don't know the names. Please advise

Carers recruited from abroad subjected to 'widespread exploitation' in the UK

Widespread exploitation of carers recruited from abroad is the "the number one priority" for the agency that investigates criminality affecting workers in England and Wales.

The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) told Sky News the Health and Care Worker visa system is being abused by criminals, leading to "a constant stream of allegations" of fraud

Visa holders face expulsion from UK for inciting anti-Semitism



UK visa holders could be expelled from Britain for inciting anti-Semitism even if their conduct is not considered criminal, the Immigration minister suggested on Wednesday.
Robert Jenrick made the comments following a number of pro-Palestine protests in which a small minority of participants have been accused of shouting anti-Semitic slurs. It comes after he on Tuesday told the Commons that the process of revoking visas and expelling foreign nationals who spread “hate and division” had begun “in a small number of cases”.

Yes sir.,But is their health related Course she can apply for under PhD?,and can someone go for PhD program direct without doing Masters degree first?

It’s not impossible to go straight from 1st degree to PhD.

A very top degree, and if you have great evidence of active participation in Research that’s fantastic.
If you have a couple of 1st author publications in reputable peer-reviewed journals, that’s icing on the cake.

pretty1986:
I feel coming in with visit visa which is just Six months visa is very short to compare the time it will take get job offer before the visa expire., that's why I think coming in through study route will give her more time and opportunity to get a better job as a Registered Nurse before the end of her one year study, which after then she switch to tier 2 in order to bring in her dependent.That is my idea.What do you think pls?

Have you done a cost analysis of how much she will require in school fees? How much she will require in living expenses?
