Morning all,

Anyone got hacks for booking the practical driving test?

For two weeks straight now, I’ve been logging in just before 6am and there are over 8000 people ahead of me in the queue. I usually wait about 20 minutes, and by 6:30am, there are no test dates showing in any test centre I type in.

I’m honestly at my wits’ end. Any tips, please? Thanks ahead
I'm the developer of the app oga Lexus shared. If you need further assistance, feel free to use the live chat on my website.

In addition, 6AM on Monday is mostly good for booking tests that are 4 to 6 months away. Between 12pm to 5pm on Tuesday to Friday is perfect for finding cancellations.

Right but do a due diligence and stop trash talking
I did check your profile. Didn't see post anything related to the deal before now or any deals you've closed here recently.

Anyways there's no trash talk in telling someone to be careful while dealing with strangers online.

Hi, I’ll be relocating to the UK in April as a student and I need accommodation in and around Chester. If you have any leads kindly share with me.
This is quite urgent as I’ll be traveling in a week’s time.
Thank you
Have you checked spareroom.com?

I know someone that attended university of Chester. The place is a small town and finding accommodation shouldn't be super hard.

If i begin to narrate the things those people have done ehn.
I will just let it slide, because black people will rather take sides against their own just to look good in the eyes of other race.

Its a dna thing. That's one of the reason or our predicaments.
Hope I'm not part of the black person taking sides against my own people?

Your response is still doing exactly what I mentioned about ranting rather than brush rubbish aside and keep going forward. China probably wasn't built by accusing anybody 24/7.

Racial stereotypes are almost always wrong.

First, regarding the state of India, it's worth remembering that civilisations come and go. Before the current European period, several empires and civilisations have been top of the ladder at different times in human history. India has a rich history and suffered greatly as western nations extracted resources - I dont see what 'manipulation' surpasses that. China, Indonesia, Singapore, UAE e.t.c has shown that building a modern economy is not an inate ability of a certain race. The current rise of China has not been seen in human history. Furthermore, as the indian economy is rapidly on the rise, if they maintain current progress, they'd be at the top in no time.


That you push the narrative that Indians are innately bad surprises me. I've done well for myself in the UK and respect high performers. I have seen extremely bright Indians who worked their way to the top through grit. They being overrepresented in higher earning roles is because they worked doubly hard and built a network. They endured the racism, put in the hardwork that others didn't and rose to the top. There are mediocre ones and bad eggs but thats the case with every race.

Let me ask, what has been your personal experience with Indians
I always find your contributions here on point, including this one.
Though I've had negative experiences with people of Indian origin in professional dealings and the ones that ripped my partner off at her student accommodation, I can't say people like Sundar became the CEO of Google only by cheating the system.

I'm also learning personally that as a minority, do more than see challenges and complain. I've worked in teams where I'm the only person of color and managed to thrive by just focusing on doing my best job. You'll very likely get your respect for being competent and hard to replace.

Interesting read moreso given that this is from an independent government funded agency. It all fits into the BBC article on why every govt over the last 2 decades has been unable to cut migration despite promising to do so.

Who would have thought that migrants despite paying in much more take out much less. It is hard facts like this that the government have been aware of over time that makes them understand that though the average brit wants no/very low migration, they and the economy at large cannot afford it.
The report kind of shows signs that the recent changes by Rishi will really cut down immigration in the next 5 years. Hopefully, that makes the anti-immigration gang happy.

@jedisco, I do appreciate what you pose as a question. My write up seeks to address three issues – temporally document my mindset, encourage Nigerian immigrants who can to actually take entrepreneurship seriously and build an ecosystem on the one hand, and encourage Nigerian Youths to seek every legitimate means possible in both leaving Nigeria (especially to the top 20 cities worldwide within the next 24 months) and building skillsets that can be traded/useful to the ecosystem built by those before them, on the other hand.

I have seen students here in the UK on 20-hrs contract earn £400/day in consulting and move on to £600/day during their post study – they are under 30 and some have relocated out of the UK. I employed some of them. They could do that because two things worked – there was an ecosystem known to them, and they had skillsets that could be traded within that ecosystem.

So, what you pose as a question from my perspective is a symptom that clears off when the ecosystem is in place. I am thus advocating for Nigerian immigrants who can actually take steps in actioning this, take those steps and urgently. For the students, learn problem solving and be able to transfer your learning. When both parties play their game right, raising such funds to take bigger risks within those students is no longer an impossible feat.
Boss do you have a website for your business that I can lookup and see if there's any skill I have that I can offer?

Lol 🤣 so Ms Enoch is not allowed to speak of her lived experiences?

She spoke calmly of HER negative experience with the Nigerian police to illustrate the dichotomy in her view between a bad police force and a proper one - to explain why SHE trusts and values the British police force in contrast to the police she experienced growing up in Nigeria.

She didn't lie or denigrate, she spoke plain facts which I'm sure many Nigerians can relate to, and even worse, at the hands of the police.

Link to the relevant interview clip below.

I don't get your question fully, but anything that you can afford that's more than the minimum shouldn't be bad.
