Good morning everyone, I intend going to university of west Scotland (London campus) for May intake
I tried searching for 1 bedroom apartments in London and places around London but the cost of the apartments I saw was very expensive. I intend traveling with my hubby and toddler and i do not want to stay in a shared apartment Can I get a 1 bedroom apartment or a studio flat in London or anywhere around London for £600, if possible Please help me with the name of the town/city so I Channel my search there, thanks.

Highly unlikely...London

enesty:
Thanks
Am looking at general living (getting a job in the uk)how easy it is to make money there compared to Canada. I want to do an msc in public health or adult nursing, also I am a married man with a kid
So I am really weighing my options. Or I should just channel my energy into immigration Canada

best bet is to ask for someone that has lived in both countries

Which state is easier to make money benue or taraba ?

Grace321:
I have a few questions if you have answers kindly respond.

1. Where do you suggest someone studying in University of Chester gets an accommodation.

2. Do you have an idea if I can get an accommodation at a cheaper rate </= £300 pcm?

3. Please what do I need to do before proceeding to apply for a job? (Like things to get done first - police certificate? NIN? etc? How do I go about it?) Call to apply for your National Insurance number, as per covid, they're very hard to get hold off with workers working from home etc

4. Do you know anyone that is studying or have studied in Chester? (last year September intake or before then)

5. Is it compulsory I leave London immediately after isolation to school to get my BRP? Can I wait a few days? No, if you have a place to stay and your course has not started yet. You might have to do some initial registration in school, no?

6. How do I buy a train/bus ticket from London to Chester. What do you suggest? Like most things, you can buy these online or download the relevant apps- e.g trainline for train tickets, national Express coach. I think the main coach company suspended service last lockdown, not sure if they are back on the road. Tip book your tickets a week or some days ahead for cheaper prices

7. How can one apply for a job? What sites can I view? (I know about indeed.co.uk)

8. How and where can I register my SIM card for NIMC? I was unable to get my NIN in Nigeria.
Nimc? You can get a sim in the shop or order one online. If nigerian sim, they released some locations for the UK but not heard anyone who has done this plus there's a lockdown

9. What network provider and bank account is best to use? (I have read about Monzo). IMO Most banks here are about the same in terms of offering and customer service monzo,starling are good quick starters same with mobile networks, they're pretty much on par esp the 'mainstream' ones

Thank you!

Good luck

You might not to be getting feedback as much as you want because members dont have specific experience, I for one try as much as possible to avoid replying to questions I have no direct experience about. _{Had to Google where chester is}

LagosismyHome:


Saw it going around on Instagram/ tiktok..... probably as a joke

however some of the figures look about right if you live in London.

Absolutely, I had to do a double take on some of the numbers but I think the oga is just avoiding village people bills

LagosismyHome:


If £2,478 can result in only £83 left ..... then £550 might be similar

However for a carer job, not bad at all

What can fa..... is this for a single brother? Bet whyyy

The bond will be used to complete ongoing projects, such as expansion and reconstruction of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Blue line rail corridor, ferry terminals in parts of the state to boost water transportation, construction and completion of health institutions such as Ayinke House within the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Maternal Healthcare Centres, among others.

They think your degree has to be linked to your portfolio

I remember when a previous (junior)minister was dragged for being a nurse he has a post degree for public health I think

After my studies in 2010, I just concluded that the difference between developed and developing nations are too much. 19th century Europe was far more developed than 21st century Africa.

I was buying chocolate coated biscuits for less than 50p in UK whereby the same sells for 3k here. I bought bucket of cadbury chocolate at £1 while the same goes for not less than 3.5k here.

No matter your status, you could still live a decent poor man life in UK.

Whenever in Nigeria, there are some things I refuse to buy, not because one can't afford it and do big man levels but out of principle!! I mean even after calculating for profit, tax, import brouhaha and inefficiency in the system- the prices are just daylight robbery!!

Abini2012:


Or is it the ones that will mix sand more than cement all in the bid to chop not minding the fatal repercussions.

We rented one apartment like that, when you're knocking a nail into the wall you literally have to remove your eyes if not sand fit blind.. Thank God it was a bungalow. Just packaging

You know

Abini2012:
Some buildings will make you stop and wonder how they were built..

I look at some buildings....and just imagine Nigerian experts...oga dem no dey do am like this....they'll then proceed with their 40ft roof

EgunMogaji2:


I haven’t bought cement this year but I understand that it might be back to the old price.

AirBnB is certainly part of the plan. Of the 5 buildings (10 flats) one will be specifically reserved and outfitted for Airbnb duties.

You know a friend is renting out at N35K per week in Ibadan though in a much high brow area. His waiting list is now till March. Money dey for this country and many are silent big spenders.

Correct, airbnb will definitely do well. 35k a week or you mean a day?

I'm fine tunning my vacation with things falling in place nicely. Lagos to Ibadan train sorted, then accommodation coming up, now searching for activities/POI to fill the weekend with the help of YouTube vloggers IITA etc

Grace321:
Can I quarantine in London for 10 days and go to Chester after? My school is at Chester.

Yes, you can quarantine anywhere, London or Chester

DisGuy:


Been looking forward to this for over a year now, but totally disappointed the contract is only for the Kaduna abuja line... what's the point when the lagos Ibadan track was already in lagos then....and looking at it its overpriced for just that line. The contract should be for the whole Kano- lagos!!!

Solid company and partners though

UPDATE.

the contract was for the NRC, not just 5 stations on the Abuja-Kaduna line.

EgunMogaji2:


I’m paralleling the progress of Chief Ladoke Akintola station near me. I don’t want to be ahead of them because I’m building for the Lagos crowd that will come.

I really am not sure about the thickness of the German floor offhead.

I'm seeing pictures and vlogs of the construction seems it's coming up nicely...they don't seems to have cement issues

How's the price of cement now?

Any Airbnb factored in or make I change my Ibadan weekend plans

Are you watching in order to to manage your amusement park 6-pack?

The 1 pack I was managing pre-covid, I can't find it. I blame gym closure!!!

Watching all the favourite spots and food in naija!! If DisGuy can't get to lasgisdi...

I bet if she was successful, she would have become another motivational speaker, so called influencer or lifestyle guru..........

Her sheep, would simply be chasing shadows........

So many of these lifestyle vloggers on YouTube now. They talk about it like it's nothing, even offering discounts to their followers. Thanks to the lockdown I've been consuming a large dose of these content.

So sad all the little kids without a mummy

Aphrodite007:


That lifestyle guru got me but please let’s not mock the dead. I’m happy the news is out there so people are more cautious.. it sha won’t stop me from doing my height surgery

Haaaa no wonder I talk am!

You see so bros Lexus. You sef see am

wolebaba:


All these for 5 stations oooo.
You people will just sit on your computer and be assuming cost of things. How many computers, Servers and other equipment do you think was brought in for the project and how much do you think Server sells for now?

why does the govt have to outsource e-ticketing when it has a govt owned IT company called Galaxy Backbone?

What has galaxy backbone done recently that's worthy....they should also stop waiting for government contract...let them compete with foreign firms to show their own competency

Heard about them but nothing extra ordinary yet..

Thanks for sharing

Why is almost everything meant to instill fear....rivers,trees, rocks etc

I keep on hearing certain players in the aviation sector whining about how challenging and almost unprofitable it is to participate in the aviation sector. Yet, every time I blink, a new airline gets floated. Now, this time, it's going to be four at once taking to the skies.

How then do we explain this extraordinary phenomenon? I thought the sector kills start-ups. So, why are these new firms popping up so quickly despite the multi-pronged issues in that sector?

such as....?

Hologram0t:
Nigerian airlines are sooo pathetic

You know, Airlines with 3 or 4 functioning airplane telling us how they are about to re-shape the air industry....

none of them talking about more customer satisfaction, crashing the price, less cancellations....

Aphrodite007:


it’s just funny how we can’t even trust a Nigerian “policy” because of how Nigeria is.

Unless we find someone that has experienced it, we won’t believe it— no wonder we come here having trust issues!

Unless I find MANY people....because that someone might know someone who can call someone that has access to Oga at the top!!

justwise:


This is really good news though i don't know how the implementation will be

That's the issue with Nigeria, what's on paper to the world will turn to something else

claremont:


This is good news for those of us whose passports expired over 5 years ago and can't be bothered to renew it. The previous policy was that dual nationals with expired Nigerian passports had to apply for a visa to visit their own country of birth.

Really good news if it's as stated. Can't wait to get the 10year version

Explorers:


I believe we can afford it, but some people will rather share 60% of the project cost among themselves.

We can't.....we are only managing 5000MW at the moment.....this will require something on a grand scale
