Abroad people rent rooms/houses suitable for them nothing extra

students usually rents a room in shared apartments, family rent 1 or 2 bed flat that's enough for themselves unlike Nigeria where's there's guest rooms, BQ etc etc hence can accommodate freely.

Who no go no know as they say, weather alone can make one cranky cheesy

Does anyone know a LEGAL but cheaper means to watch premier league matches and if possible champions league matches in UK without subscribing to Sky or BT TV? This sky subscription is becoming too expensive.
Apps
Streaming....never heard anyone in trouble for Streaming as long as it's not a commercial venue

Please I need an advice on how to manage with my 2 kids , age 5 and 3years alone and working as nurse, 12hours shift 3 to 4days a week. I need advice and suggestions please �
Please think and plan this properly. Many schools stopped after school clubs and the 3yo will be attending paid or party paid nursery.
Child care cost can easily outstrip even accommodation cost.

Pls auto mechanics help out a bro. I have this issue with my 2005 Camry 2.4. The speedometer fluctuates on the first gear and it makes this noise like it’s on neutral until it engages the second gear. My mechanic advised I change the gear sensor yet it persists. Pls help a brother out. Thanks.

Thanks baba but she pays £31.89. She showed me last night and I'm like this is not normal.

The YouTube video they watch are pre recorded no live programs at all.
she's probably paying quarterly, she needs to contact the office to get exemptions if she's just watching netflix and other non-live streaming services

One major reason I chose to not go live offshore especially United States of America! The other day a well-to-do black man took his family out to dinner. On their way out of the restaurant a white man met him at the door and plunged a knew into his stomach right in the presence of wife and children killing him. The white man subsequently said he did that out of frustration and fury at the sight of a black man who is well-to- do! What a society!
Just between November and December this year alone, trucks, buses etc ram into school children, passengers and commuters killing over 50 people and not a single investigation or acknowledgment from Governors, Senator ...just another day in our morally conscious society!

I notice that some people are so unrealistic when giving advice to a newbie coming into UK. If they are politicians children maybe then yes..
I think people give advice largely based on their own perspective and/or experience...

Oh no. This decision has thrown a spanner in the works. Sad thing is they still haven't justified their decision vaccinated or not

Hi guys, so I have been following this thread I will really appreciate contributions and suggestions from people already schooling in the Uk or those about to travel.
So I have applied to more than 8 schools and currently have 3 admissions in psychology and public health for September intake. In all my sourcing for funds I have only been able to raise about £3000 pounds which will cover only deposit.
[b]Please guys how did u people get money for tuition and travelling is it from your family? [/b]Where did u get loan from? Please I need someone to point me out in the right direction.
I have sourced and sourced for loan in Nigeria the only legit one I saw charges 18% on the amount given to pay back monthly in 9 months and u have to bring a guarantor which their bank partners will profile and give loan according to salary and 6months statement of account, my guarantor with about #200,000 monthly salary can't even get me 2m. Guys please advice me oh where can I borrow.

Dubai just opened up to Nigeria again.

Indeed, get a Hotel or Airbnb..........

When I travel, I book hotels (regardless of family members at location)..... I don't like stress..... grin

I think 5 out of 10 Nigerians that are living in UK are born wicked. Most of these guys have terrible characters, I used to warned new comers to stop depending on them on any money related issues or shelters.
An innocent lady got stranded at Gatwick entry weeks ago having sugarcoated heavily before leaving Nigeria. Londoners are not friendly, unfortunately most of them are living fake life on social media. I encourage everyone to plan well before leaving Nigeria. Best wishes!
Totally agree with you, people should just save themselves the hassle get a hotel/apartment and leave those people and their fake lifestyle!

Good morning. Has anyone used Qatar Airways recently?
I'm seeing an option to pay for seats after paying for the tickets, is this compulsory?

Secondly, what's the baggage allowance for a two years old child?. Thank you.
It's optional...you take the seat you're given, choose one of the free seats available or pay for a particular seat with all the extras...

Have you checked their website or your ticket for allowance? If child has own seat then normal luggage allowance

Guys I need to change my phone because the screen is broken. Where can i get a used cheap phones for now? someone suggested ebay or Facebook market. I am in Hayes area
do you have insurance on your phone or with your bank account? you might be able to make a claim instead of paying out of pocket

Those are good places to look but you have no protection from facebook marketplace. Also avoid gumtree for things like that- you them on bulk items or service you can pay after- there are not intermediaries just you and the seller going back and forth if something goes wrong

Ebay, CeX, Vinted?

TravelRe: Why Multiple Covid19 Tests Despite Being Negative As A 9ja Citizen Entering 9ja? by DisGuy(mod): 2:28pm On Nov 10, 2021
temmytanny:
Hello house,

My mom had an experience as a Nigerian citizen returning to Nigeria recently. She did covid19 test and it was *negative*. Before boarding plane to Nigeria, she was required to fill a form and generate a bar code. To get the bar code she must pay approx. #100k( for unvaccinated and #50k for vaccinated travelers) before she can be allowed into her country of birth and residence. I do understand the need for people and country to monitor anyone coming into its country but why such a huge burden on its citizen going back to her motherland?
What happens if someone is cash trapped? Or an elderly person with no funds to pay for 2 covid19 tests despite being declared negative from abroad? Are we as a country shooting ourselves on the foot, because, if many tourist or foreigners find out the stress and fees to pay to get into the country, they could opt out for other tourist destinations. USA for example average 70k covid positive everyday and foreigners are not subjected to this kind of stress, just enter with a negative result and when leaving USA, go for a free test.
Please, correct me if am getting something wrong here but as a Nigerian, it doesnt make sense to do another test when i was declared negative and returning to my country of residence. Is this another way to enrich testing centers? or are we making our already corrupt Immigration officers, more corrupt?
this is the case in many countries as a result of Covid. As more people gets vaccinated the policy changed
