erico2k2: Well I wont ask anyone to bring stuff for me cos I know the answer, from your own admission you have never known anyone other than yourself who will bring stuff, You said 10 years in the Uk, well you only arrived last night, some of us have been here for 30 years, I came to school here 2000, and only lived in London so I think I pass for experience if you put it that way. I am opportune to do some Jobs in Prisons around the Uk, you will be surprised the numbers of persons in jail for carrying something they know nothing about, there are loads of stories to give you but no point. You see the way you are asking this questions, its the same way drug traffickers source innocent persons on line to carry stuff for them, If truly indeed you have lived in the UK for 10 years are you trying to tell us you have never ever [b]shipped [/b]anything to Nigeria from the Uk in the whole 10 years you have been in the UK Been in the UK for more than 10 years and never shipped a thing to naija from the UK |

DaddyJapan: He is not very clear on what specific statement he was retracting though. In fact, towards the end of this interview, he had to be pulled back from engaging in yet more combat - this time with Dangote's lawyers. 
Is this woolly and seemingly contrived apology good enough? This is for Dangote to decide. The presenter tried a lot to make him refrain from making the situation worse. Noticed that he read the apology, which seems to have been written by a legal practitioner. |

Chukwuka16: What really motivates you?
This is my motivation. Building a global brand that will compete with the Octopus and Flexitricity of today but globally and give “local boys” and “local girls” the opportunity to be fulfilled people.
What is your motivation? Does it just revolve around you and your family alone? We have been blessed with an incredible opportunity of travelling to “the abroad”. Can we use this opportunity to unlock more opportunities for more folks (local boys and girls) back home. It will put a smile on the face of our creator up there.
Have a splendid evening. Short and insightful. As Nigerians, what can we do to help with human capacity development back home? Also, how can we partner with others home and abroad to start building companies and industries that will compete globally. I am increasingly becoming worried that we are being left behind by the world especially in thi age of AI and autonomous weapons. If anyone has an idea and needs a partner, I can consider. But it must be Nigeria focused |

Mynd44: It is weird you didn't complain when this thread made front page
https://www.nairaland.com/8424333/sandra-duru-hired-me-2.5m
https://www.nairaland.com/8424375/ezekwesili-never-received-payment-appear This one made front page around the same time as this particular one but you didn't say anything about it.
People post things that are interesting to them. If you are not interested in a content, you can always find others You seemed to have missed the point. All the accounts I complined about have almost all their anti Natasha posts pushed to the front page. That was the pattern I was pointing out. It makes it seem like they were working for someone. It is not usual that 3 accounts (that I know of so far) , all dedicated to carrying or twisting news about Senator Natasha, almost always find their topics on the front page. And for your information, I did have a look at that post when it was posted and I found nothing suspicious. Check it out, how many pro-Natasha posts do they have and how many of those posts made it to the FP? CC: Seun

Zahra29: Thanks for this info
Did your friend get ILR after 4 years or did he have to wait an extra year?
There was a separate issue where new rules were imposed midway which only allowed those on the programme to extend their initial stay if they scored sufficient points based on their earnings in the UK, their age and educational qualifications, and an English language test.
These retroactive rule changes disqualified a lot of people and was successfully challenged by those who were already on the scheme. He didn't have to. |

Zahra29: It only impacts foreign workers, not those on family visas for example.
It's very likely to impact all skilled workers who haven't already applied for ILR.
It won't be retrospective on those who already achieved ILR after 5yrs or those who apply for ILR before the changes come into effect.
The govt made a similar change to the ILR qualification period in 2006, increasing it from 4 years to 5 years and people on HSMP ( the former highly skilled visa) had to get a visa extension of 1 year to achieve the new 5 year requirement.
Incidentally, it was also a Labour government that voted in and implemented this change. In my opinion, this should not be retrospective for those already here. A friend of mine told me some years ago that he was affeceted by the changes around 2006 and he challenged it and got his ILR. He said he told them that was not what they told him when he came so they cannot change the rules for him when he is already here and they agreed. I don't know if that will work in this case. |

Chreze: Someone I know had similar issue. We suspect phone type could have contributed to the issue. He came over, we did it with my Samsung Galaxy A34 5G and it worked out for him. I believe phone/camera quality may also play a role for finger print capturing. You can also try old fingerprint trick of washing your hands before taking snap.
Mine went smooth on a first try. Thank you. I used a Galaxy S24 Ultra. I will try with my A54 and see if I will be lucky. |

Stevepop: Hi guys, I’m in the process of applying for my MIL visiting visa. Is there a rule that states that first time applicant must be 6 months visitor’s visa. I am planning to apply for 2 years visa ( plan is for her visit multiple times during the period). Everyone I have come across seems to do 6 months first, then the 2 years visa for subsequent ones. Thanks. When I first applied for a relative, it was 6 months and when the visa was issued, there was also a note that said I could apply for multiple years instead of 6 months. This was some years ago. So yes it is possible. |

Chreze: Just to add this here.
I used the contactless app and got my passport delivered. It took around 2 weeks and that was cos I didn’t add the great “£20 postal order”, would probably be lesser (maybe a week). Please how did you manage to do the biometrics? Mine keeps failing after taking my finger prints with 52% to 70% match. And after that, I can't proceed or re do it until I delete the application. Any tips will be appreciated. |

hellofrank: Hello everyone, a friend is in urgent need of advice. He claimed asylum in the UK in 2023. Last year, he met a Nigerian-American, and they have been making wedding plans in the UK. Vendors have been paid, and deposits have been made for the wedding venue. Invitations have gone out as well. Please note that this is a genuine marriage. He proposed to her in October last year.
However, in January this year, his asylum application was refused and deemed unfounded, with no right to appeal. His wedding is scheduled for August, and he is feeling very confused. Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation? What options does he have so they can go ahead with their wedding as planned? They plan to relocate to the US afterwards. Please help. It's simple, he should go to Nigeria and marry her there. She will file for him. |

DestinedForGrea: The whites do not own Christianity, they did not formulate what we believe. Christianity has always been since the time of the apostles, but it has always been the same God since the time of Adam.
There is no such thing as a Christian, Muslim or "whatsoever" God. There is only one God, and that's the God of creation, who created all things, and man (whom He created in His image and likeness to reflect Him round the earth). There's no other God besides that God.
The whites didn't make this stuff up, that is a very shallow way of thinking, sadly. Lastly, Catholicism is not Christianity. The popes or whoever do not set the standard for what was written in the scriptures. They actually do. Much of what we practice as christianity today was "formulated" by the Greco-Romans. Things like Trinity, mongamy and many concepts were not part of early chritianity. |
