Based on what you have written, the guy is very selfish. You need to tell him to go. You have sacrificed enough.


Honestly, if truly na so e happen, your Christianity is worth emulating.... but for your own sanity and to even continue the heavenly race, he has to leave immediately before something bad happens....everyone has a limit

seunoj:


Go to church if you are a Christian and vice versa if you are a Muslim. Look for Nigerians in your environment and ask for help. My brother, those saying avoid Nigerians no dey follow u go through all this o. A closed mouth is a closed destiny.
Lastly, be on guard

Biko!

Rubyventures:


if everyone had this mentality, blacks would have still being in chain shackles. Even the whites that fought for the freedom of the blacks dont think this way. The freedom that the minorities enjoy today was fought for by both black and white. Not everyone wants to settle for less. Minorities contribute loads to the system, its only fair that they should not be shoved to the sidelines.
Russia and Nigeria are not fair societies so dont compare them to the UK.

Thats how yorubas will vote tinubu and igbos obi. Nobody should attack anybodtmy abeg. The whites have given us go ahead.

How much GBP? I need about N1.5m

OgbeniOptional:
Don’t you think all these apps are our problems? Oanda as at now is £1 to #499. Even going down. So I strongly believe all these apps dey encourage black market rates. I don’t think there is black market for Euro to pounds or pounds to Dollar. All these apps needs to be killed before they kill us as a country to be honest. They are making stupid money while the country as a whole suffer for it. There should be strong protest from government against these yeye apps.

How? people need FX to fulfil their dreams and government is not providing any.

Abido Contains clobetasol which is a steroid. Not to slight you , lexus but this cream is bad news.
Steroids cause paper-thin skin, darkening of skin in patches, diabetes, Hypertension, weak bones, decreased immunity, frequent falls, weight gain especially face and abdomen. You may want to stay away from this.

Before you buy this, you should probably know all of this as well. It's called informed consent.

If I mention Abido now, BNF would be thrown at me ......

Ameryx:
Hi all, I think I need a bit of encouragement. I moved to the UK on a student visa in December. Before relocating, I was doing quite well back home. Earned around 2-3m monthly profit after expenses from my business. In fact, I wanted to reward myself with a Range Rover Evoque (about 13m) then but Nigeria was in a bad state and I used up my savings to fund my relocation. I landed with high hopes, about £4000 in cash. The reason for my earlier statements is not to brag, but to show you that I was doing well, and I just felt coming here would be saner. I loved it here whenever I travel for vacation, so I was without doubt that life here would be easier.

To my main aim of writing, I think I am depressed. I could not find a job in my first 3 months here. The only job available that most students were doing was care, and I wasnt vaccinated, so I could not start. I eventually started in March and the job gives me a mental breakdown each time. I am on my feet for 11 hours, and get sent around by staff who feel they are better than agency workers, I get hit by residents, I have been racially abused several times ,I did it for 2 months and I had to quit.

I have looked for warehouse jobs, not been lucky. Even customer care work, they reject because of my visa status. I am fast losing it, there is so much my brain can take as a woman. Does anyone know how else I can get a job, I stay in Bradford, so anything around Leeds is fine. I can even work in Manchester if the pay is okay. Please help.

dustydee:
Are you guys observing the double standard in this Russia v Ukraine saga?
Not home office is saying Ukraninans with families here can come but the same home office denied Syrians and Afghans refuge saying they should claim assylum in thier first safe country of arrival. Then FIFA and UEFA has suspended Russia yet when The UK, France and US invaded Iraq, Libya and Syria, they were not suspended. Also the media organisations here are often fond of accusing the Russian media of bias but are yet to analyse the situation from a Russian perspective or from a Black man's perspective. So much hypocrysy. I pray that peace will reign and both parties will resolve their issues. Putin took a wrong step and the west also.

I got my ILR.
10 year route
1 year - Student visa
5 years + tier 2
4 years Spousal/partner
Hopefully I will get my passport in January. Then I can start applying for jobs abroad.
I did not apply for my ILR on tier 2 because I was naive. I was at risk of redundancy with barely 2 months to my ILR and the company wouldn't give me a letter without stating that I was at risk. I didn't feel comfortable applying with that on the letter so I canceled my appointment and when I failed to get another sponsor and not enough time to find a decent job in Nigeria, I applied for a spousal visa which reset my timeline.
In hindsight, I should have applied and I would have been granted it, saving me thousands of pounds in application fees and NHS surcharge. More painful is the fact that I had considered moving back home in the earlier years but got to the point where going back without at least ILR was not logical. Hopefully I find a good role back home or somewhere near , Amen.

Irenenwaka:


Please thats a false info…I really wanted to get into IT.

i just got an apprenticeship as a data analyst nd i dont have ILR.

Things to note:
1. Yu need to have been resident in the uk for min 3 years.
2. No age restrictions
3. The apprenticeship market can be quite competitive so be ready for drills nd for most companies an assessment centre.
4. You must not possess a qualification at the same level or higher than the apprenticeship u want to do in a related field. For example you can’t do an apprenticeship in engineering (lv3/4)when you have a bsc in engineering (lv 6)

5. There are majorly 4 apprenticeship levels
Lv 3- equivalent to a levels
Levl 4- equivalent to foundation year at uni
Level 5/6- equivalent to degree
Level 7- equivalent to masters degree

You people are not playing with this new part at all and now made me catch up after several days of reading through more than 40 pages. I will not dissappear and miss hot gist again oo.

Welcome back @Aphrodite007, we missed ya and glad you are doing great.

Thanks for your message on celebrating Little wins, saw it at a good time and we really do get overwhelmed amongst everything else.

I also thought @dustydee was a woman oo �� , maybe it's Shim sha

Missed the argument from our Mr Alaba intl importer exporter of drugs, some very funny responses that made my day.

Always a pleasure reading through @Ticha post omo, semi-retire at 50. We don bookmark the post and hopefully save enough to venture into it.

I want to add Engineering to the list of lucrative courses people can focus on asides IT and medics. It is a really lucrative industry, with loads of opportunities,although the salary return may not be as high as some IT roles. Lets also encourage our kids, nieces, nephew etc to study Engineering related courses, I am forever grateful to the person that pushed me to Quantity surveying.

There are lots of Engineeringcompanies offering apprenticeship roles with starting salary of 22k with benefit (for 2/3days at work) and still pay their Tuition. Basically, they are not saddled with student loans and still have good savings once done. I have seen 2 black kids in my coy blow up this opportunity on youthful exuberance.

Oga beryour i dey watch you oo, seems you wan port away from Engineering with all this tech analysis and abandon me, issokay oo

Reading through all the posts and seeing iboboyswag situation get resolved pages later was quite motivating and should be a lesson to people creating groups outside NL on whatsapp, seun really did strike gold, make he just increase some of its functionality.

Glad it all worked out @iboboyswag I can imagine the dilemma you and the family went through, the fear of UKVI ehn.

@akorkor having issues with that email and glad you asked your question on here and got better suggestions and help that I may not have been able to offer privately.
