hey poster
i found dis cool site about 2/3 bedroom
apartment (all to ursef & fully furnished)
to let 4 a short time like hotels
in lagos - lekki, ikeja, etc

i havent tried it but i def will
2 bed apartment starts from #9,500 per day
wud def suit n reduce cost 4 familes
of more than 1 or 2
but i wudnt mind if its just me though

its called www.makeitnigeria.com
check it out

hope u have enuf moni 4 it
goodluck

cant stand d smell of both
its a NO NO!!!

this potruding belly tin goes both ways
(men n women)

anyhoo its not just food dat makes d belly
go fat or big - liquids like water, juice, etc
are worse especially 4 slim girls

but some ppl sabi eat 2 much sha

if u r fat, ur belly will definitely suffer 2
its hard 2 find a fat gal (size 14 and over)
with a flat tummy

i'm a size 10 now/most times but my belly keeps
growing big. its not big big or huge
then i read an article dat not only food but
liquid makes d stomach big
i drink a lot of water n liquids, just cant help it
but i hardly drink alcohol except baileys

i only go 2 d gym when i have 2 go from a size 12/14
back 2 size 10
still tryin 2 find a way to stop my belly from protruding
without going 2 d gym/reducing my liquid intake
any ideas?

its a no no!! they (men) just cant handle it
talking from experience

dont start getting ideas oh
i didnt do nutin wrong - well so i tot
just told him wat happened
during my childhood/wen i waz a child
he went bonkers, asked me 2 revenge (horrible type)
i didnt so he made my secret/past public
& ended marriage

he was my hubby 4 pete's sake!
just some1 2 talk to (sort of therapeutic)
& i tot past was past
1 or 2 guys i told after marriage ended
did not react like he did & i was only dating dem

well different ppl react to d same tin differently
so it depends
but u cant read minds and no who will
take it well or not
so its best not to

i've moved on now - thx 2 God

@nouble

''ceasyc, you should have read my statement verywell, you are asking most of question allready answered.''

ok i shud have n i c ur point now
since u dont have probs wit olakpa n immigi then
of course u can change ur name 2 avoid dat,na long thing
u seem to have everything planned out well even little but important
details like call cards


the COE knows wot ppl r up to because d home office has informed dem cos a lot of ppl have been abusing it
so its hard 4 a new/non member 2 get married there these days
and i heard dat even if u do get married there u may have 2 go home to apply 4 ur stay (as an illegal)

most of d info u need have already been discussed on immigration wit reham
which u claim u watch religiously

good luck man

''Moreover, my wife just informed me that she also claims housing benefits.  I still don't understand the impact of all these since I have my degrees and professional qualifications which I believe should suffice when it comes to securing employment and maintaining oneself.''

ur wife is ur sponsor not u (dis is settlement not visit visa)
the uk officials r interested in wot she's doing not u
at d time of ur application/interview,dey will b interested in[b] her [/b] current financial circumstance not urs
u are joining her n ur kids not d other way around

u can call immigration with reham on red tv from 9ja
(dey always advice dat u take a good n registered solicitor
but u fit do am by ursef to save kudi)
i'll send u d number asap
ur wife can get it 4 u too by watching d show btw 4.30 pm n 5.30 pm

hey NOUBLE
need more info,

y change ur id wen u claim u got no probs wit it
does d uk have ur fingerprint or dey have ur name somehow?
r u an overstayer as in overstayed ur visa?where r u now,uk?

pls dont call sky 186 immi channel and say wot u just stated here oh
its a live show

hey tos n all
brownbonno  is right about the benefits thingy
ur wife has every right 2 claim but if she wants u 2 join her
she needs 2 get off it immediately crb or no crb

she has to show d british high commission n home office
dat she can support u without recourse 2 public funds wen u
get to d uk. she cant prove dat if she is still claiming

d only thing u can do is get a job offer (letter) in d uk 4 ursef
ppl who lie on their application n r on any form of benefit e.g. housing,
income support,job seekers,tax credit (all are recourse to public funds) etc
finds it hard to prove dat dey can support demselves n spouse without help from u no wot
 
if dem no catch ur lies or deception (re benefits) now,e fit com bite u in d ass later on

ur wife or any1 who needs advice can call/watch red tv (immigration on legal tv) on
sky channel 186 for free advice mon 2 fri
 
of course either way pray sha
goodluck

is there any other POSITIVE option for ppl wit visit visas or illegal immigrants
(ppl without any legal status in d uk or u.s)
u gats to do wot u gats 2 do to avoid d shame of being deported someday
or ur heart skipping weneva u hear d word immigration or police/
hiding in another man's land like ur a fugitive
although dis arrangie makes it difficult for d genuine marriages now cos d govt suspects every1 now

just b careful who u wan give ur moni to for dat kind tin sha,419s dey out there both
whites n blacks (e no mata where dem com from), if some ppl no dat ur desperate or needy
dey take d mickie. advantage or take d piss (use u anyhow and u might still not get wot u want at d end of d day)

alot of ppl pretend to love some1 and marry dem for d paper without d other person
knowing d real reason
d day wey dem get their final stay,dem go flee without notice even if kids are already
involved (VERY BAD!)

in d uk,getting ur stay is not straight4ward or dat easy: it takes time, moni n proceedures
to get married,then u gats to file for ur paper wit or without solicitors(best wit). u have to
wait to get a reply of yes or no. if yes, u get a temp stay first e.g. 2 years or 5 yrs. u have to
keep d person sweet for alll dem days/weeks/months/years (not easy,some ppl can be v.demanding
and diff to please)

wen dat one don complete then u fit apply for permanent stay.dis one get more proceedures:
u gats to prove with payslips, lots of bills dat 2 show dat u have been living 2geda all those years
witout recourse to public funds, etc. if u no get d real n correct proof,forget it,kiss ur paper/stay
goodbye(bak to square 1). if u get proof n dem give u permanent stay then u gats to wait at least 1 year
to apply for nationalisation (to be british or apply for uk passport).oh dont 4get d life in d uk test, u must pass am 1st

i dont no about d u.s but in d uk if u b illegal immi or u get visit visa, ur not allowed to marry in d country anymore
u gats to go to ur home country to do dat n file ur papers from there. d immi law changes a lot
dis is all i can remember,there may b more
o boi e no easyyyyyyyyyyyy

CONTD,

i don dey tire 4 london small small. it's not been all bad,
no nepa failure, theres good roads,water,hospital,clean air,freedom of speech,no
babangidas n abachas (coruption),no degrading or ill treating of women/girlfriend/wives,
armed robbery,etc but for me personally,e don too much (good times don't last long).
no bro no sis 4 here oh U ARE ON your OWN, especially when your sick or no job and u no
get genuine paper,na suffer but if u get no wahala,govt go take care of u

i brought my parents to visit and 6 of my siblings (got them genuine uk visas but e
no easy oh,one of them was refused 6x before granted d visa) to stay or visit
which is their choice unless dey are in uni back home but i have to sit them down
and not just say e no easy, i break it down for them and i told them if u
spoil your visa without securing your stay because of 1 flimsy excuse like u overstayed
or got ursef into trouble,u have me to answer to

my sister stayed but she's turned into a total disrespectful,stingy and i don't care b**ch
(am 6 years older than she is), she hardly calls her immediate family here or back home let alone friends

i always tell my siblbings not to ask/call people abroad 4 money for any reason because
if it were me i'd b pissed too,  E NO EASY NA. i also tell them say if dey ask for money
or anything from them people abroad,don't put your hopes high, if them send wetin u ask
fine if dey don't do not blame them        

some people say london dey change people but i personally believe that it depends on
each individual, JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS(please DO NOT GIVE people FALSE HOPE SO that
DEY CAN FIND AN ALTERNATIVE ON TIME IF NEEDED). no long explaination (SAY NO OR SORRY I CAN'T)
to people who are not your immediate family or very close friends because dey might think that
your making it up or dey may be happy your going through a rough patch.

am not d best,i've got my flaws and i don't have friends who disturbs me with phone calls,
flashing or moni issues, etc we call each other once in a while to say hello

"Nigerians In The UK Are So Stingy" my arse!hissesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

wish y'all all d best and remember

GOD DEY
GOD NO DEY SLEEP
NO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD!

CONT,
just 2 let u no, this na partly my story n some close friends of mine

when i 1st came,I did 40 hrs a wk and got less than 700 pounds a mth after tax.
Subtract rent n the long list of bills people
mentioned earlier. Most of us stay in single or double room
least amt is 260 pounds per month, we got feeding, t-fare, etc. By d time am done

I might have 300 pounds free from d 700 because I have really tried my best not to
go overboard at the time, Meaning don’t buy a TV, install cable, landline, call home often, etc.
we NO GO dare rent a whole hse (studio flat is at least 400 pounds bills exclusive,
1 bed flat starts from 550 pounds excluding bills a mth depending on d area).

I used 2 convert everything I want to buy to naira before I decide to pay for it in pounds
or ask myself loudly I dey cress? before storming out of d shop without buying. this
continued for at least 2 years not because am stingy
but I needed to save for a rainy day, send something home to my immediate family
when needed (thank God for me n them because dey did not need me for basic
necessities) and my bank acct back home.

people need time to adapt to everything e.g. bills,weather,small room,being home
sick,rent,foreign land,etc. i don change that mentallity small because i can't do
without my sky, internet, phone n family, etc now

most people start wit a cleaning or carer jobs, dey r both dirty jobs but it pays d
bills, d best starters job u can
get is working in a clothes shop, supermarket or security job (this one don spoil
now,lots of Nigeria bros lost their jobs because of SIA license for security officers
wahala, your papers must be genuine). I hear say CRB for carers wan start to check
people papers too but am not sure

i visited paris, italy n Nigeria after i managed do my paper (no b small moni oh).
coming back from Nigeria for 1  to tell me 4 uk airport say my paper was cancelled
6 mths ago. my solicitor n i were not informed prior to that and na d same paper i take
fly go europe 2x without probs and na during d period wey them claim say them cancel
am.i had to pay solicitor (thief) over 1,500 pounds to release me from them immiga
people, sOME COUNTRIES SHARE PAPERS FOR MANY AND when them GIVE U PAPER DEY LET U BE BUT NOT UK
CONTD

to davidylan n CONTINUED,

Most of us do not prepare or no how hard it is b4 we embark on our journey 2 d UK or abroad
i realised dat visiting wit my hubby then who had a hse here n staying (now divorced) were 2 diff things
it becomes a case of making it anyway u no how, most ppl 1st job na early morning cleaning.
Everybody 4 9ja no say we don jand
na shame to go back wit nutin n no achievement [/font] e.g. house, bungalow, who u don
carry com jand (especially if u are d oldest in your family like moi), etc
Some ppl dont care, dey go back home shortly after dey arrive because dey can’t stand d struggle
