Thanks for your suggestion.
I will consider setting up a forum for UK Tax Matters as tax is such an important part of UK residents life.
From my experience as a mod, this might be a bad idea if you want engagement. Your target audience is on this thread, so keep writing on the thread. Everything na still under "Living In The UK - Life Of An Immigrant"

His comments are neither distasteful nor negative. He hasn’t called the fellow advertising his service a fake. All he did was to ask that anyone interested in engaging him carry out his or her due diligence. How is that a problem please?
Try and read the specific quote to my distasteful comment, and before you reply, re-read it again.

Like I said in my post, there’s no offence intended. This is a public forum and hardly the place to be seeking or giving professional advice. I am duty bound to advise any one seeking such professional advice to do their due diligence first before engaging anyone. You can interpret it anyhow you want but that’s me finished with this conversation.
Why is a public forum hardly the place to give professional advice? It is an advice so it is up to the individual to do whatever they want with the information. The same way we all give "professional" advice here too.

The comment you made below is highly distasteful and unbecoming. Do better!
No offence intended but I do not think that someone who has spent less than two years in this country will have the requisite technical know how required for this line of work

I’m assuming the prepayment meter is for both gas and electric. Gas is usually cheaper than electricity…most homes use both or just electric.
Gas is only cheaper in terms of tariff but when compared to usage, it is as expensive as electricity. So forget about which one is cheaper, always assume gas = electricity and try to be energy efficient .

Telling an employer about your leave is the right thing to do especially if you have made firm plans that can't be changed before you made it to the interview stage. If the job isn't given, then they wouldn't have given it even if you didn't have holiday plans anyway.
You people should be calming down with all these advice na. Why would you tell a recruiter you have extended holidays for yourself during interview?

Please do all you can to get the job and after signing the offer letter, tell them you have holidays already planned.

Hi Everyone,

Clarification is sought on a gift/benefit that looks too good to be true. Our house has received Energy Bills Support Scheme payment twice now (Oct &Nov) .I intend to return both as, I am getting uncomfortable. Are international students eligible for this ? Especially as the visa expressly states that we cannot have "no recourse to public funds"

Please I need to get this right. I don't want issues now or in the future .

Thank you

No, i didn’t apply for anything. £66 energy bill support scheme and bulb energy says it’s for Six month.
This is the £400 energy support scheme by the Government. It is for ALL so not a PF.

£66 for 2 months (Starting in Oct 2022) and £67 for 4 months (Ending in March 2023). If you pay through DD, it gets automatically credited to your bank account, if not, you will see it in your energy statement as a credit.

Thanks alot bro...

But can I travel from naija? Someone suggested I have an affidavit handy..stating clearing that I intend to rectify the issue in the UK, also saying I'm the same person.

I don't know if that would work...

Someone passport has been with ikeja 6 weeks and still counting..this is terrible, I don't know why ECO would make such a grievance mistake..too bad!
Something similar happened to someone I know.
1. Do the Affidavit (though it may not be needed)
2. Send an email to UKVI on the issue stating that you will prefer to rectify the issue in the UK as you already have a flight ticket. Wait for their confirmation, print out the mails (Sent and Received) and you are good to go.

Really they do that?
Those black guys selling all this craft and things like that around all the tourist sites are they resident, cause i see them walking freely around those places
But my thinking is that they are not resident the way they look
@Aaaaarghmed,

France does not deport unnecessarily. Those people serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things. Police hardly ask for your ID except you are suspicious, or behaving in a strange & uncanny manner around public places.

As an unregistered migrant without papers, you are alienated from the society. You can't open a bank account, rent an apartment, access free healthcare (except red cross) or get a reasonable job.. that alone is stylishly meant to force you to leave.

Bbsharon, Hi smiley

How much was the ticket? How long was the flight?

I learnt Green Africa flies at a low altitude and it will take longer time to get to your destination when compared to other airlines.

Why are Nigerian banks still charging for SMS, bank transfers & ATM withdrawals etc etc.........

Nigerian banks are criminals in blue coats.......... grin
Opened a French account as I was there for some time. French banks charge you for instant transfer (normal transfer takes 24 - 48h), €45/year for card maintenance, €7/quarter for account maintenance or so etc.. and it doesn't matter if you don't have funds in your account. They will throw it into debit grin

Nigerian banks are trying, please.

Hello all, the embassy said I should report to VSF on the 12th of July 2022. My visa is until 23rd of July.
I intended traveling on the 28th of June.
What if I travel at a later date and return after 12th of July? Will there be implications if I present myself at VSF after 12th of July?
They gave you the 12th because you mentioned on your application that you will be back to NG before the 12th yeah? So to avoid hindering further applications, return before the 12th and show at the embassy or write to the embassy now on the travel date change.

Good day guy,
Tried exchanging 1300£ on flutterwave on Friday and I realized I have to snap my id real time to verify, although the pounds had been debited. Later that evening when I had my ID, I forgot and used another Gmail account which was diff from the one I used earlier. I got verified on this new account and that was when I knew I bleeped up. Going back to the old account to complete verification and it failed due to duplicate verification. I mailed them and explained situation and they responded 24hrs that I have to cancel one as customers can't have to accounts. I responded and told them to cancel the second one since I wasn't debited on that. They haven't said anything since then. I've mailed them via Twitter and IG, no response.

I'm scared cos na part of school fees. Hope they're not scam sha.
Please clarify if you are calling Africa's highest-valued FinTech firm a scam? grin

It's the weekend, as such, you won't get a fast response as you desire. It should be rectified on Monday.

When I talk say Nigerians and their communities are best dealt with in very small doses, people no go understand.
When I first come this country, my madam don already go put hand for Naija community for Manchy. I can live with Nigerians and their faking and forming (the number of strange approximations of British accents person hear dey wonderful), but when they come up with their so-called advice giving, na there I leave them. When I moved to Edinburgh, I select them carefully. The all-knowing crew: "Why you go buy manual moto, e dey pain for leg o" or "You for put those tickets for your credit card, credit card dey help for this country o" (as if person no sabi how much person get for pocket), I just avoid. No more Naija community for us, na one one.
Please na, stop calling Manchester - Manchy!!! Lol
