Hello

I will arrive in UK on the 29th of September. Please how can I get the new notes if we can't collect from Aboki?

It's quite easy, if it's polymer notes then you should be fine. The paper notes are being withdrawn from circulation.

Its very obvious that Liz got it because she is white. If it is about competency and experience Richy Sunak has more experience than Liz. A majority white Conservative party would never allow Sunak be the Prime minister even for 2 seconds grin

I don't think race was a major factor. A lot of conservatives wanted to pay him back for "stabbing Boris" in the back. He did the right thing but with populist leaders, their base will always come after you should you go against them. Johnson himself wasn't competent. They schemed out Michael Gove so that they will have an easier ride against Jeremy Hunt. I expected Sunak to do the same (tactical voting). He should have given some of his votes to Mordant to edge out Truss.

So Liz Truss is our new PM. Political watchers what does this mean for us?
I hope she's more competent than Boris. I really wanted Rishi to win. He sounded more competent and credible.

I greet the house oh. Please, is it possible to send funds from a Nigerian dollar account to a bank account in the UK?

If it's not possible, what other alternatives do I have to transfer money from Nigeria to a UK account? I'd really appreciate a reply. Thanks in advance.
You can use lemonade to send naira to your UK bank account. Not sure what the rate is like. You can use the link below.

You do not have to work as a student, not everybody does. When I was a student in the UK, I did not need to work.
Who will they show off to? How many people take note of your phone here? Something that a lot of people, even kids have.

Abroad is not naija. why do you want to impress since God has answered your prayers and free you from shackles of naija materials use. who cares in abroad, if you use iphone or not. instead of you to focus on how to get good pay job, and time yourself later, of you still want that phone without putting burdens on yourself cos of credit. USA is not naija my brother. Thank God for life
Really?
Do you know what he/she wants to use the phone for?
Do you know if he/she can afford it?
Not every student needs to work here.

What steroids was prescribed, so we can analyse it's composition.........

I bet my last $, it would also have it's own side effects......
Audavate.
Of course it has its side effects and we were warned. We were also given directions on how to use and how often. Also we were told how to withdraw treatment.
My understanding is that with this OTC cream, the composition of some of the active ingredients is excessive and also there's often no direction on usage.

Probably best to stay away from steroid creams.They are only available on prescription to treat those conditions you mentioned.

Did I mention they cause redness of the skin as well? Gbabakwa. Run �‍♀️
This may be the same cream someone advised my spouse to buy to treat a skin condition and when after reading the reviews, was mortified. Some said the results were instant but the side effect was worse than the problem. We just stuck to the steriod prescribed by the GP.

Pls Which of the 3 can i submit

Hi, good job you have done here.
I will go for number 1 or 3 but here are my observations:
1. You choice of colours is very important. I will advise you stick to the "ftriendly" colours for the sake of the colour blind people. I am sure you will learn this as you progress.
2. It's nobel not noble - please correct the typo.
You mnetioned machine learning, I am interested in what topics you are learning and which machine learning tools you are using. For a starter, I will advice you first stick to data viz or analytics first before you advance to machine learning.

Now I'm no lawyer but if Mr. Falana SAN is right then things should be done constitutionally and rightly. We should say NO to illegality and the president should reappoint them or they should rest.
First question: Did they resign?
If they did, was it accepted?
I do not think they resigned their position. They were ordered to resign.

I believe what the person asked about is the free child care for children under the age of 5 yet to start school. School is free but before they start school, if you want them to go to a nursery, you have to pay and can get government rebate based on their age and your circumstance.

The COVID effect which seems to be be affecting property prices all over the developed world. Economists say it's because being cooped up means people have saved more money, stopped houses from being built (lockdowns, disruption to shipping and supply of building materials), stopped people from moving and therefore there's more money floating around and it's fuelling house a property price increase. Who knows? The market is bonkers here in NZ as well!

However even if you sell for 50k more, that won't translate to 50k extra in your pocket and you'll also pay more for your next one. The last 2 years seems to have thrown everything into kilter. It'll be interesting to see what the current high inflation brings
My thoughts too. The price rises are insane. It seems artificial to me. Thanks for all your tips here.

New Builds To buy or not to buy[b][/b]

(Pros)
Energy efficient (6 times more energy efficient than old homes)
Brand new – you’re usually the first or 2nd owner. And if it’s the show home, you can actually buy a fully furnished house.
10 year builders’ (NHBC) warranty – covers only structure and electrics after the first 2 years.
Usually no chain. Can buy off plan to cut costs or buy some of the very last ones to get a discount.
Small easy to maintain plots
Smaller spaces so easy to heat
Everyone moving in is new so no established community and might be easier for newcomers (immigrants etc) to fit in and make friends
Can negotiate lots of things with the developer – can choose your own colours, kitchen, carpets etc (for more money of course), get stamp duty paid, solicitors fees etc
Help to buy and First Homes is only available on new builds
Minimal maintenance on structure for the first 5,6,7 years or so – roof, gutterings, boilers etc
Fittings are of high quality – kitchen appliances, sanitary wear etc all will be newer models

(Cons)

More expensive and builds often over run (average difference in price is 55k according to DataLoft)
Much smaller on average – often overlooked. Minimal parking, small gardens, cannot extend or add value. You have to wait for the equity to grow through paying down the mortgage or the passage of time.
Thin walls – carries noise more. Lower ceilings – for easy heating. Open plan living areas – could be a pain. Very little storage spaces
Build quality can sometimes be poor so there can be ongoing snagging.
Much more difficult to spot issues initially and you have to go through the developer to remedy. Once you remedy yourself, it voids the developers’ warranty.
Very restrictive covenants which means you can’t make changes to the structure and sometimes even small things like not changing the front doors or windows etc
What you buy off plan might not be exactly what you get when it’s built.
Usually built away from the centre so shops, schools, restaurants and amenities can be some distance away.

We moved into a new build 2 years ago and currently, similar houses in the same development are going for close to 50k more, how does that work? I do not expect that much for ours since it is no longer new.
I agree with the parking space. When I saw our drive, I wasn't sure our car will fit. Why do they build like that? You park your car and can't open your door wide.
Luckily we don't have noise issues and the building seem to be well insulated. Our community is also growing with new amenities like an Aldi and soon a GP and other shops. Hopefully that will add value to ours.

I am very pleased with their service so far. I cancelled my broadband contract because three is serving me. Is like it was their 4G I used in city center. I used to stand behind TV to make call because that was the only place network was in the house.
Yes you can always cancel within a certain period. Check your contract.
