well I mentioned that I have no problem with racism, I even laught it off. I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, blacks should always support each other when issues of discrimination are discussed. We should not dismiss it or find a way to blame each other because we have no allies when all is lost is only a black brother that will come to the rescue. Even this thread is a testament to that. You can see Nigerians are good people with their quality advise but would prefer to relate behind the computer than physically.

Ticha:
I agree with you. As adults that have been fully formed and immersed in the Nigerian confidence before heading to the UK, it is easy to shrug off and minimise the racism we encounter. The problem is then that we do not fully equip our children and youngsters to deal with what life as a black person in a majority white country gets throws at them from the moment you step foot here. And that is the underlying issue. When people raise concerns about racism, I don't ever minimise it . I listen, offer support or advice as needed. Sometimes, it's not even possible to follow up on it. It doesn't mean we can't validate that person's feeling at that moment in time.

It's very much like the trans issues going on at the moment. The trans movement (supporters of the trans movement) seem to be eradicating women's right and spaces left, right and centre. I support the right of a trans woman to be a woman and my own right as someone who fully identifies as female and a woman to be a woman - I don side track now

Fear of being taken down by Instagram...you never really know which words might put the post up for policy violation [

Gistposter:
Tonto Dikeh, a popular Nollywood veteran actress and philanthropist, has reacted after Instagram dancer Janemena threw shades at her on the microblogging platform, Instagram.

The popular Instagram personality, influencer, and waist dancer posted a post about l*vemaking in which she detailed two factors that she feels cause women to submit their bodies to men: money or relationships.

In response, an Instagram user mocked her by recounting how the released audiotape of Kpokpogri purportedly stated that she romped with Tonto Dikeh’s ex-lover from dawn to evening.


In her response, Janemena implicitly drew Tonto Dikeh into the controversy. Tonto Dikeh, who never fails to respond to such matters, has retaliated against Janemena in a heinous manner. READ MORE >>

My wife was studying at Kadpoly at that time, she stayed with her Uncle off campus........

I was accused of all sorts, kidnapping, getting her pregnant etc etc etc

Kaduna is a small town, our secret marriage was a major scandal within the Yoruba community, my oga was also accused of all sorts .......

Her parents stayed in Ibadan, the news spread like wildfire...... Considering the fact that prior to this secret marriage, I had never spoken to my in-laws, nor meet them.......

I had to call my in-laws, apologized to them, clearly stated my position/intentions and why we had to conduct the marriage etc etc ......

Silver jubilee is around the corner...... I have never reported her to parents, they have never intervened in our union, likewise my wife ...... We are buddies, just like biological siblings...... People might deem it an exaggeration, but we have never had an argument or raised voices....... We might have one in the future, which I seriously doubt ........

This one is interesting.
I usually see UK residents for past 3/5 years, etc. for this sort of job.
Except where it has to do with national security, that's the sort of thing where you see UK citizens only.
If this is an ordinary document controller position, then the stipulation for UK citizenship appears really strange to me.

Unless its MI5 or GCHQ and they're not saying.

KOVIC19COVID20:
I am genuinely surprised at how pretty standard procedures can suddenly be given racial connotations.

Someone made an application for debt. A company feels something doesn’t add up. The company says, NO, we can’t give you this credit because it doesn’t meet our policies. Company communicates to the applicant, saying sorry. We can’t give you this. Applicant almost immediately uses their debit card to make the same purchase, from the same company. Because the smell of the fish(y) from the first instance hasn’t completely gone, company says wait a minute, just a couple of hours ago, you wanted this same thing on credit. We said no. Now the same you have suddenly come up with £800.00 to make an outright purchase.We need to investigate further. Company details their fraud unit to investigate, to prove that this person is who they say they are. Because company doesn’t want to hold funds for too long, company returns £800 to customer. This was referred to fraud unit.
The fraud unit guy enters the name provided by the customer into Google search engine. The first hit is a LinkedIn page. Fraud unit guy browses the first link. And turns off their computer.


Customer (who uses LinkedIn Premium) now sees that Company employee had looked them up. Customer now claims they were refused because they were black? And African? Customer now says Company had no authority to ‘Google’ them? Because of GDPR?

Shuooooo

Omo I also asked for advise today and I’ve just learned that when it comes to personal issues on public forums, then I should keep my mouth shut because the ignorance and lack of empathy is just mind blowing.

Amarathripple0:
Please do not be ignorant! A company going through your social media page before you are offered a service rings bells for discrimination. It is NOT allowed. Read up a little to expand your knowledge on the laws of the country you live in.

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.

Hi Guys,

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?

Amarathripple0:
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
