Not really bro. The mens range and baby range contain the same ingredients while the womens range is different. The former is lipikar baume Ap + M while the latter is lipikar lait urea 5+. Everyone can use the lait too BUT it cannot be applied on the face and men don’t have the patience to be applying different cream on their face as you know . See attached. Plus I always buy in bulk when it’s on offer in boots . Never bought full price. My last purchase was even done with my advantage points .

I was referring to the baume/balm not the lait (lotion). The lipikar baume for baby and the adult has same INCI list in same order.

Mimzyy:
I’m not sure if you have gotten a suitable response but I’ll recommend LaRoche Posay body wash and moisturising balm as that’s what I use for my children. Pictures and link attached. I use the adult range, so also does their dad. Look into it, you’ll love it.

La roche posay lipikar range is bae. I use it too. By the way, the baby lipikar balm and the adult's is the same - same ingredients, same order. The difference is the baby drawn on the package and it is more expensive than the adult's

Chreze:
Please I need help with a kids cream (body cream). He has passed the baby stage. We have stopped the baby stuffs. We have been using sanex kid soap, but We never see cream since. I have checked Morrison and asda. Also asked the people who worked there but they keep directing to the baby section and na baby lotion de there (asda).

NB: If the complexion is necessary, The baby is fair and becoming lighter in complexion.

Boots sell baby creams (search on their website), superdrug, bodycare. Read their reviews first on their website before buying so that you are okay with your choice.

Hello My People
What is the best way to send a laptop to Lagos. I needed to send my laptop back to Naija urgently. Does Dhl or Royal Mail work? Abi we have cargo agents that handle that here?

Be careful of your logistics choice. I read on IG of someone who sent a laptop to 9ja with DHL, paid extra for custom clearing and got a teddy bear as the delivered supposed parcel

Pls I have plans of relocating next year September to Uk with my husband and child through student visa,and I trying to see if I can just do some perfection to my hair making skills,and also learn make up and bridal hair, because I learnt as a student you can only work for 20 hours and also I want to have time for my child too,she is just 2 though my hubby will.b allowed to work ,but u just want to b skilled such that I might not really need a paid employment job,my question is,is hair business lucrative in the UK or I shouldn't bother perfecting the skill,is it worth for me improve on it or is not so lucrative over there , anyone with experience in that aspect pls advice me ,thank you

Hair making, big yes. Making hair is expensive. Ensure that you are good at it so your customers keep returning.
Make up, not so sure. Most people do their makeup themselves, thanks to the massive makeup brands and options.

dustydee:
Guy be careful out there.

It's not a case of being careful. He got what he deserved. Actions have consequences. They should have given him 10 years

After the month listed on your school enrollment letter as the end of your program. i.e if your school letter states Sept 2021. You will start paying 1st Oct, 2021

I don't think this is true. Throughout my master's program ( including the 4 months extra on the tier 4 visa), I never paid council tax neither was any demanded from me.

Teettyllayho:
Hi @Justwise and anyone living in the UK. I've been a silent follower of this thread for a while now and I'll appreciate it if I can get answers to some questions:
Background information:
I'm applying for Masters in Public Health in the UK. I will be moving with hubby and three kids. I work as a freelancer on Upwork with at least $500 monthly. I'm positive that being outside the shores of this country will help me earn more online since clients prefer people in Europe. I will work offline while I study too.
He will apply for study visa too after I'm done with my one year plus two years psw and we can pursue our residency.
My Dilema:
Hubby is skeptical about moving with everyone since we will be selling off our properties to make this move.
He's suggesting that we take the Canada route but the processing is a big headache for me. I'm opting for UK because of the ease of gaining admission and processing.
I will like to know if moving with three kids and selling off our assets is a good move or not. Thanks for your anticipated responses.

If the canada route is through studies, you can try it but UK is easier, has less payments to be made pre-visa, and have better guaranty with visa with studies than Canada.

If it is by Express entry, no one knows what canada is doing with the EE, a bird at hand..... Also, you can always pursue the EE from the UK while you study. Many ways leads to the market..

Balingz:
Good morning house. How are you all doing? My brother got an offer from a big 4 accounting firm in the UK but the role he is being offered is less than the role he is applied for due to his professional qualification. However, in Nigeria, he works for a big 4 accounting firm and should be a manager in a few months time. The naira equivalent of what he will be paid in the UK is almost same with what he currently earns in Nigeria. Is it worthwhile for him to accept the UK offer considering he has a wife and 2 children. Thanks house.

If the salary is THE ONLY REASON he wants to move to the UK, he is better off staying back in 9ja.

Hello everyone on this group. My name ist Moyo and I’m currently doing an MBA at Coventry London. Please I need heads-up in getting a job. Living in London which is pretty expensive is overwhelming for me and it’s been hard getting a job. Getting here in September I did some security job which at the end I wasn’t paid what I deserved because as usual the 'Nigerians' at the helm showed who they are made of. Had to stop it, not cause I could t handle the jobs but the wickedness of these people that feel like mini God. I’ve applied for several Amazon warehouse jobs but they all want full time and not students. Anyone got ideas on getting a job? Only got classes twice in a week and the other days free. I wouldn’t mind anyone in London who can guide me through as it’s been me alone tryna find a path in this cloudy route and it’s not been easy.

If you were not paid your worked hours correctly and you have proofs, you can google which organisation to report them to or so.
You can go online and apply for coro related jobs e.g kit packing or other support jobs in that field, you can look into hospitality jobs- waiting, bar, event stewards etc - they are booming this time of the year. Parcel sorting with royal mail or other delivery companies
Go to indeed, input your city, scroll through the jobs posted and see how you can fine tune your cv to some of these jobs. Apply to many and pray/hope for the best ones.

Newwoman:
Please I need a 2bedroom flat to rent at Edinburgh. Moving from Nigeria.

How about checking house rental websites. Google house rent in Edinburgh and many websites will pop up or check spareroom. House rental from 9ja may not be easy and straightforward especially with the documentation.

Aphrodite007:
Cc captainhoo if you’re both women you can follow Barbara Wallington on LinkedIn. DM her and let her know.

Thank you but I saw different Barbara, Is it the one in a group called learntor?

Aphrodite007:
Please ask here dear. The email attached to this account always snitches on my real identity, so I don’t do PMS.

Okay. I'm interested in the IT career change. I will appreciate a mentor /advisor that can explicitly explain/advise on the different ways to kickstart and guide alongside. Thanks

Aphrodite007:
I like to encourage women into tech and help them with their journey but because I do this for free, I’m not always available and don’t take too many people on. I just stand as support, someone to rub mind with, cheerlead and help plan career. There’s another lady that helps, I don’t believe she charges (she may), I got her permission to put her name here but I need to respect her privacy so I keep deleting it.

Can I pm you please?

Preshyi:
You obviously misunderstood me Sir, I am already schooling fulltime and if its something that requires a full time training for him then it will definitely affect our finances. so I am looking at how soon he can start considering the financial aspect. I already said I will make research but need to be aware what to look out for.

Training will cost money, however he will make the money back eventually and the benefits of tier 2 sponsorship. Your choice....

Preshyi:
Thanks so much, will definitely do more research on the training cos that work no be here. But are these trainings something he can do while still working fulltime?

YES. he should about the different time schedule available for the training and choose according to his convenience

Aminess1:
Please pardon me if this issue has been sorted out before. The slides are much to check through.
I stay in Leicester with my family although my school is at Sheffield. My husband rented the house with his name and I’ve applied for council tax exemption but I got letter saying is only 25% will be exempted since my husband is not a student. Is that how it’s been done?
Again we’re trying to buy a car and considering the best option for insurance monthly payment ? We’re barely 2months here.
Thank you.

You should have rented in your name. I don't know if full exemption will work in this situation

Preshyi:
Please I would like to know about the bold part, I am the student but I believe my husband has better chances cos he is a Biochemist but has over 5 years experience working in the health sector in Nigeria and some assume he read a medical course. For now he has gotten an Amazon warehouse operative job but we are thinking of how he can switch to the medical field that has chances of sponsorship. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Tell your husband to research about trainings in the medical field e.g trainings related to medical laboratory jobs, training on how to use pcr machine etc. With a certificate in such courses and his job experience. His employability in the medical field will increase tremendously.
Don't let him waste his energy and time with warehouse work( many people think the only jobs available for newcomers are usually warehouse or care and that isn't true) . He can also go to indeed. Some agency recruit for covid tester assistants and offer training, even for someone without any form of experience. Repackage his CV expressing the details of his job experience in nigeria. Be detailed about what he did, don't just put his job title. He can work as a covid tester assistant while figuring out the trainings to do to enter into the medical field. Once into the medical field, he can then search for nhs work or employers that can sponsor his tier 2.

Chuukwudi:
If they didn’t promise us a job, why did they release a “shortage occupation list” ?

Take it easy o. I dey vex . No put careless blame for my head.

A job was never promised.
The keyword is IF you get a job with sponsorship.

TheGuyFromHR:
Ah, you're still summarising the f- word. You havent really lived in Glesga yet then
I've not spent much time in Glasgow, just passing through on my way to or from London by night bus when I was a student in Aberdeen, but I have memories of the volume of profanity you hear in that their bus station behind GCU or on the couple of times I upgraded to a train and had to walk from Central to Queen Street. I don't think I've heard so many "f-cks" thrown around in a short space of time, even in London.

But on the other hand, I do agree with you about the friendliness of Glesga people, they are known for that, along with that their strong accent, they have this way of getting up close and initiating conversations (someone at a bus station once took it upon himself to show me how to pronounce Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen properly and gave me a lecture about the Aberdeen dialect).

Preshyi:
Dont know if this is applicable to this group but I have been on quarantine and getting food has been a challenge. I order with just eat but not so much African cuisine there, can anyone please recommend how I can order for good and affordable familiar cuisines this period?

If you finacially buoyant, google african restaurant around you and order from them

If you want to save money, order groceries online and cook at home

HardestyAugust:
Hi guys please who else is waiting for ATAS certificate?

I applied since on the 21st of July. It will be exactly 1 month in 2 days time. I'm a little bit anxious because I have made a non refundable payment to the school already. Also, resumption is September 20 and I know how it can be to get the whole visa application process done. Any Advice/ suggestions are welcome. Thanks



Guys, always find out if your course requires an ATAS certificate if you're trying to school in the UK. It helps to apply ahead of time and saves you the stress. I think you can google the CAH3 code and then proceed accordingly.

Send them a message to remind them, they will update you on your application if and only if your application has passed the 20 working days rule(see their website for more info)

CountVersailles:
Okay, I understand. Some people just like to eat rat poison.

Na wa oh. Madam calm down. People have /are surviving with this "rat poison".

No food industry in any country is perfect, including Canada. You should educate yourself about GMO foods before you condemn 9ja's "rat poison"

CountVersailles:
the food standards in Nigeria are way poorer than they are in Canada? .

There is something called "preference"

I really miss Kim Woo Bin a lot.
Is he okay now and going to make a comeback soon?

The ost "only you" of uncontrollably fond has been my ringtone since that drama.
Ahaaa, Suzy......zip my mouth

Hahahaha this movie was worth watching. It's a pity the ML died.

Btw, his eyebrows has evolved, it isn't so raised in this série unlike in 'the hiers'. I was fond of his full dark very-raised brows in the hiers

folaranmi1009:
Good morning guys... Pls if somone wants to do a new passport, do they ask for guarantor.. this my friend said i should stand as her guarantor that i should send my bio-data page and NIN num...i want to know if this is the new procedure abi its a scam

Scam. There is no need for guarantor when applying for international passport (i assume this is what you mean). Go to the immigration office closest to you with your birth certificate, nin slip and apply.

Cc rocktation

I finshed it's okay that's love. It's a nice story line bit i think the producer didn't try enough, it wasn't captivating. I almost abandoned the movie at episode 4 because the focus seems to be only on the FL's anxiety disorder but when they included the mystery of the step dad, i was interested in the series. Imo, these reasons probably made it underrated. It's a good watch however.

Cc bukatyne

Filinta and outlander are sooooo long. Won't be able to watch it anytime soon bjt the story line is good. I'll appreciate other recommendations


Currently watching extracurricular and I'm loving it. Not a common storyline in k dramas, the direction is great and it's captivating right from the very first episode.

Yonce:
Doom at your service

I had high hopes for this drama, I mean its Park Bo Young and SIG but what the frack is this mess?
What's up with vagueness and broken dialogues?
I think it wasn't probably translated to English because their conversations don't seem to flow lexically.
The leads chemistry are sorely the only thing pushing this show.

So I married an antifan
This trope has been done so many times. And I cannot take the villain seriously
There's nothing intimidating about him. Lol.

My Roommate is a Gumiho
This is soothing like a hot tea on a cold, clamy day.
I love it.

Thanks for this recommendation of what series to avoid
