My mother moved back in June 2021 after over 45 years in the UK/USA. She said she wouldn’t change it for coming back, she lives in a gate place in Ipaja Lagos. She complains but she still prefers it than staying in the UK or America.

I'm just wondering...if an employee on a 5 Yr sponsored visa switches to a new employer, would he have to pay the visa and its fees again?

Just be patient, start applying for jobs closer to your graduation date. I’m guessing you’ll be done in September. You can go full gear for Job applications in June/July and let them know you’ll be done in September and can work full time. It all depends on how you sell it to them and how you sell yourself. There’s also the option of applying for graduate roles and sometimes, these employers can hire you now and wait till you are done for you to start.

Good morning everyone,
I need more info and contribution towards the tier 4 visa switch to tier 2 or skilllled worker visa. When is likely for me to push for this? my master program is less than seven months to complete. Also, I read it on Ukvi website that tier 2 application must be submitted 2 to 3 month before tier 4 student visa expired.
Some professional job am applying for now, fine the employer were facisnating with my years of experience and the skill. But the my blocker is issue of 20hrs restrictions for BRP stuff. I have done many interviews but they keep on saying the role is for full time, and the menial work somebody is doing all around could not lifted one to the right path neither career advancement, is just to cater for bills and other miscellaneous. moreover, CoS is needed from employer if I want to apply for tier 2 visa even though am paying the application fees. please shed more light all the elder in the house who has climb the ladder before now.

For those who want to gain skills in Construction, HGV and IT. 16 weeks bootcamp and they're supposed to be free - I say supposed because I haven't delved into the nitty gritty of each one.

Is 28.9% APR any good? Because that’s what Barclays is offering me. Thanks

Good point! All, not most. All 3pm league matches on Saturday are not allowed to be broadcast live on tv in the UK.

hardbars:


I have checked the pricing. £85pm is fair since there are the other add-ons. I however don't need these add-ons. From what you said, it sounds like BT and SKY is all I need. I'd figure out how to pay for just BT without getting into a contract with Virgin.
Thanks for your reply.

AgentXxx:
Scary criteria in there... Hmmm, i might to have a rethink.... but minimum of how long do you think one could get all of the license done if one would like to settle for it? Or are they other lucrative driving jobs? Also how is leather and shoe industry in London faring? I have skills/certification in leather works most especially footwear.. does it pose as a fast way of getting employment?

Thanks for your honest feedback.... God bless

Another real life UK story, happened a few days ago ......

A known hypertensive man, was prescribed medications, to lower his BP levels.........

He did his own research about the prescribed drugs, DR Google informed him that possible side effects, could be weakness of his 3rd leg ........

Rather than returning to his GP, voice his concerns/or switching meds or let's assume his 3rd leg got weak.... Be placed on the magic blue pill, he completely refused to take his meds and not medically voice his concerns.......

He was at the restaurant last week enjoying himself last week, he had a cardiac event, rushed to hospital, after a few days, his life support machine was turned off.......

Not only did his 3rd leg eventually die, he also lost all the functions of all his body parts......... All body parts no longer required by him, body parts might be harvested for others to benefit.........

HEALTH IS WEALTH.......

NB : He also did not see the benefits of having a life assurance policy. They have now opened a go fund me page, towards burial expenses etc etc...... ..

Look after yourselves, nobody else will .........

China will benefit most from this war. The benefits will stroll inform of will power, economic boost, military strategy and stron bilateral relationships.

After receiving multiple sanctions against its financial system following the war against Ukraine, Russia has found an alternative.

Visa and Mastercard joined the growing list of western financial companies that announced plans to withdraw from Russia. Looking for alternatives, the nation’s central bank said it has turned to China’s UnionPay system.

- President Vladimir Putin launched a “special military operation” against Ukraine less than two weeks ago, which still continues until this day with no real endgame in sight for either side.
- NATO and the EU decided not to escalate the conflict by getting involved directly through military actions of their own. Instead, they opted for a more 21st-century option – imposing all sorts of sanctions against the country, the oligarchs, people around Putin, and ordinary citizens.
Most of those measures targetted the Russian Federation financial system. Among the first ones was removing multiple banks from SWIFT.
- During this weekend, it became known that some of the largest western financial companies will also halt servicing Russians, including Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.
- While speculations arise whether locals will turn to cryptocurrencies, given the skyrocketing trading volume since the war started, Russia’s central bank outlined another solution.
- The institution said that local lenders will be able to use China’s UnionPay system. Founded 20 years ago and headquartered in Shanghai, China, UnionPay (known as CUP or UPI internationally) operates in over 180 countries, according to Russia’s central bank.
It’s also worth noting that the organization said UnionPay could work together with Russia’s own payments system – Mir.

umarwy:


Nope

There is tragedy occuring daily in the world, people die in conflict in the tens of thousands daily. And people die in 100k daily ( don't quote my statistics). It us impossible to keep up with caring for everyone.

I have long decided to only care about my personal circle (naija/UK). Anything else is too much stress.

Pls my people, if you get any mail from your child’s nursery that someone from his classroom contacted covid. Please withdraw your child for some time. Contrary to NHS guide that the child can still go to school if he/she is not showing any signs or symptoms. As I type this, everyone is my house (self, wife and our 2 n half year old son) has covid.

It all started 3 weekends ago when he was running temperature and we took him to the GP. The Dr examined him and said it was an infection. He then prescribe an antibiotic for 5days. After 4days of taking the antibiotics, we got a call from his nursery that he’s having some signs of reaction on his body. I took him to the pharmacy and he said it was nothing serious but we should stop the antibiotics. He also gave him an oral solution to relief the reaction. Before taking the oral solution we discovered that the reaction had disappeared, but we still gave him for 1 full day. We went back to the doctor and he said we should stop the antibiotics and call the clinic if any new development. All these while, we have been having covid test regularly just to be sure that’s not the situation. Two weeks ago we got a mail that someone from his classroom had tested positive and they attached NHS covid guidance for nursery kids. While we were still going from high temperature to normal temperature and cough, we got another mail from the school a week ago that two other people had tested positive. That was when it got done on me that covid was an option for his situation. All these while we were testing ourself and it came out negative.

To cut the long story short. Yesterday I took him to a testing center and after the test, on our way back home, I started feeling very funny. Got home took paracetamol. Woke up and was not feeling good still, so I took the covid test again early this morning and it turned out positive. My wife did same and also got a positive result. Then we became anxious to know his own test result, though he wasn’t running temperature again, but was still having this little cough and catarrh. Well, hours later after reporting our case to NHS and asking them to follow up with our sons result, we got an sms that he is positive.

To be honest we don’t know where the covid came from as 3 of my wife’s colleagues had to isolate in December and another last month. But we are suspecting the school as the school had to close the room for some time due to growing cases. My advice is not to risk it. If someone test positive in your child’s class, it’s possible to spread from the careers if not from the kids. I don’t know. But that’s our present situation and I am sharing for others to learn from it.

Nobody ever spent time to justify analysing World War 2 from Hitler's perspective, because its beyond the pale.
And yes, many publications have spoken about what could possibly be Putin's motive, but it's very clear that[b] he is the aggressor here,[/b] not Ukraine and Ukraine's joining NATO, had that ever happened (very unlikely), would be a defensive, not offensive move.

justwise:


I don't think that is entirely true, the UK took a lot of Syrians and Afghans refuges

BorisJohnson:


Don't get it twisted.
Black man's perspective is NOT, and will NEVER be Russia's perspective. Putting the two side-by-side does injustice to the Blackman's perspective.

Meanwhile, something happened yesterday I say I must gist Una.

My husbands colleague was hit from behind at a roundabout. The person poked his head out the window and asked him to please pack well so they could resolve it as they were obstructing traffic.

My guy enters his car and tried to pack well. The person who jammed him IMMEDIATELY zoomed off aka hit and run

He called police but unfortunately no one got the plates and no camera but they said they will try.

P.S- Both parties are Caucasians.

Ya’ll be wise out there. The streets are rough!
