My people I need help o. I don't know if I'm seeing correctly or maybe I need to refine my search.
Has anyone booked a return ticket to naija for the holidays?
The cheapest I'm seeing is 600k while half of that would take me to the US and back.
Elders and veterans in the house, is there something I'm not doing right?

Bros want to go do Christmas flexin in Naija. As home office would say, better flex on skype. Travelling to Nigeria can take you on European tour this season

Whaooo, congratulations......

I bought 2004 Mitsubishi Colt for £500, not bad atall, more than enough to take the family from point A-B...The Insurance na like £1100 thereabout, i did comprehensive but i am beginning to ask myself why i did comprehensive for a 2004 car sef....Abeg do you guys think i can change it to third party abeg...

for third party, based on my experience, i would only be saving about £200+, So comprehensive is probably more cost effective, till one is 100% confident on British roads, esp as we enter winter! My car was 2.4 litre engine and my insurance @ 16,000 miles/ annum cost me about £2,000 est. It begs to wonder if i did myself a good deal. I don't mean to brag about being a petrol head, but i do enjoy a spirited drive now and then, and i don't think any 1.something engine would give me that pleasure! Still, the insurance here is crazy, I wonder if breeze can blow that colt when trailer overtakes?

My people, how do you know you are actually ready for your driving test? I want to judge if I should just go ahead and do the test or keep practising.

Still making some mistakes at the roundabout.

best practice, if you make serious errors, instructors usually drive the car back. There's no trial and error

Congratulobia

lol, very funny request. Anyway, UK houses are not face me i face yous and even those face me i face you are worth 100s of thousands of pounds

fatima04:
If I am correct it takes 3months for processing but priority takes 3weeks or so. Just check the processing time for the category of visa you want for updated info.

In other news, IHS fees will increase to £400 per year because the govt spend an average of £420 on individual immigrant. UK and money

all these dodgy statistics. is it africans using it or Asians...probably Asians, cos africans only go to hospital when they collapse at work. We'll see how it plays out after brexit...strange times ahead

Inkredible:
Nope. I live here.

wow....cool

Inkredible:
Thanks mate. I'm waiting on the HBO legacy tour after season 8 when everything ends.

If you can, sure go do this one. It's really fun.

Did you drive to Northern Ireland?

Inkredible:
GOT

Was hoping i could go on the tour, but my fiancee is not really into GOT! Wow, nice...hope i can find time to do it next year or upper. Nice one brov!

that perplexed aunty in the background though

kaad:
I've been riding in buses in Scotland for 2weeks plus now. I havent seen anyone sleeping on those buses, could it be mere coincidence? Because in Naija before the vehicle moves for 30mins someone's head is already hitting your shoulder.

They're probably waiting for you to get off the bus first. especially if you keep staring at everybody wondering who is sleeping

what was deleted?

fatima04:
Lidl price is just there joor. There pampers and baby wipes is just too dry and they have the driest brioche bread ever.

Tesco brioche the best and then Aldi for others.

Haven't been to Iceland yet as it's too far

ALDI has this vanilla slice Brioche too....very lit!

Munazik:
If you are a lady then I am willing to hang out
Would be nice to make a new friend.

What if she's not as appealing as you are presuming

kayeyes:
Hello,
Did you pay for the app?

yes, it cost like £5. There's a free one. but i wanted premium

Lexusgs430:
Completely alone .......

Alone?...me? Am not alone oh. Peterborough is very beautiful and easy to drive around. Cheaper housing too. Lit!!!

Lexusgs430:
You can honk, if it is required...... Failure to honk, could also be deemed a failure......

i heard someone honked in the test centre before they left. I think to let the instructor know he was ready. The instructor just went back in and that was end of test...lol

Is it worth switching my auto license to manual...Just attracted by the cheap cost of manuals vs auto

ESULAALU:
5 lessons
�����
Seeing your level of determination, I really don't want you to waste your time so if you live close to the SE postcodes the EASIEST place to pass on first attempt is Hither Green.
Now, you have booked 5 lessons, it means you will need to take those lessons on the possible routes the examiner will ask you to drive on. The road signs are good to follow. The examiners often avoid going on the major routes in hither green in the morning because of rush hour which causes a build up of traffic especially approaching the roundabout there. Most stick to the 30mph inner roads.Occassionally, some examiners might insist venturing on the major roads but the routes are easy to travel on even with minimal practice, beware of bus lane/times(avoid completely if possible) and master traffic lights for your own routes- important!
However, that being said generally brush up on the following:
Practice your show me tell me questions, round about rules ( give way to the right always, no hesitation), always use your mirrors,all three and ensure examiner sees you doing it(especially when approaching junctions or exiting , you have to be on point with your MSM malarkey, mirror signal manoeuvre and all the associated neck twisting observations). Let youtube guide you as you do further personal practice. Practice your manoeuvre like parralel parking( align mirrors with car you intend to park behind or align with fuel tank if parking right in front of car, steer left- sight the v shape as it aligns with the kerb, pause, steer right and straighten up, this is one manoeuvre you will need quite often). Emergency stop, bay parking etc

Good luck and your comment brought me back to life in the travel section.
Justwise how you dey and vicjustice? Welldone o!

Anybody live in Peterborough here?

justwise:
My point is that you deactivated your account willingly for reasons best known to you, it got nothing to do with ban because you weren't banned in this section or your posts deleted.

You are just wise

I drove for 3 hours at 150mph straight in my BMW 528i once.

Let's just say that gas mileage suffered greatly.

manic, which country was this?

TiffanyCara:
Morning folks, I'm in a dilemma and I hope this is the right thread to seek help.

I defaulted on my US visa and so technically I am an illegal resident, though I have applied for a green card 6months ago. However, I plan to join my fiancé who is on a Tier 2 visa and has a comfortable job.

The plan is to get married as soon as I come over but Gov.uk says if I apply for a spousal visa, I would only have a 6months leave and I can't switch visas.
The other option is to apply as a dependant but when he got into the UK, we weren't engaged at the time, so I wasn't included as his dependant.

Pls I need advice on the options available to me, I'm really confused.

PS: If he sponsors me, I hope my bad immigration history wouldn't be a ground for rejection.

I think it is one of the questions asked.
Maybe you should get married in Nigeria first and have kids or have kids first.
Some people will critic you for this, but i find that all these immigration policies are a kinda wave of discrimination on the 3rd world

justwise:
That is just a lie, you did not delete a single post with this ID, you deactivated your previous ID and posts just after some immigration discussion here, so don't blame it on banning.

On other news..a fraudulent character here just sent me an email about TV license, asking me to renew it.

My message to that person is try harder

and your point is....i closed my account, i've had to rnew my ID several times, my initial ID was gmyguy!
If you want us to research all my past interesting posts. Start from my trending Ielts post trending on education or travel section

I got a lexus is200, the insurance na die, but at least am. Not spending hundreds every month on finance and I've saved that towards my mortgage application

EsotericMonk:
So ayam not understanding why my comments were deleted from page 73, cos though I asked a question about travel to another country, it bothered on peculiarities with applying from UK.

Lemme respect myself and not join in the blue film discussion, perhaps I would be singled out to chop ban this time around.

The links that my oga graciously added, I was planning to begin the process this weekend wey I get small time. All gone. Mods I hail in capital letters o.

nairaland has gone to the dogs....a whole decade of posts i had to delete because of my disappointment with the banning system. Never mind, its not like you earn money from posting here...Pepper dem

Trust me, this was not ordinary kissing oh, the kissing heavy. I use style look back and I see booby popping out already. The kind of sounds I was hearing I'm sure somebody was been fingered.
I told guys in the office and they confirmed there's a law prohibiting such acts but I have to call the police. Maybe they were that bold because they knew nobody bothers calling the cops.

maybe they were pranking you and somebody was filming your uneasiness

davide470:
Boss,

So UKVI got back and admitted their error but they said i should send my passport to their P.O.Box in Sheffield but as a Naija guy, i will go there myself.

Please do you or anyone know the specific address in Sheffield? All i have is a P.O.Box..

Thanks.

The address is very simple...
Home Office,Millsands. Sheffield.

This is like arresting the person that picks up the money they're spraying you with when you are dancing at your party... Madam, am sure it's network, the money is on the way!

Ekitibiased:
Already preparing to clear plab 1 and 2 in the UK .....masters not a waste at all, it's a huge plus. More flexible chances of plab in UK compared to being in naija

honestly, don't know why doctors are really doing this masters of a thing...Too much money
UK is free for all doctors now....Never been a better time. Too bad they reduced the salary some years ago

Its for prevention of mouth odour

fatima04:
You can work for another employer but must not be more than 20hrs a week. But no such restriction for the dependant

21hrs nko?like if you could not leave on time

Yinkzy03:
Thanks a lot, i now understand why when some people are moving out they tend to leave some furnitures behind. Moving with those things are not pleasant and you even pay to dispose them off if you are unable to take them to recycling sites.

About insurance, i heard the premium is always high for new drivers as the risk is high. Someone told me you can get a letter from the insurance company you were using in Nigeria showing details of your driving history and all, i heard that will bring down the cost...(not confirmed yet o)

The figures are set based on collected data and statistics
