I hope he didn't tell the police that because that will complicate issues. His lawyers will advise him on what to say or do. This is really sad, perhaps she is trying to ruin his life because of the breakup.

Hi guys,
I really don't know where to rope this case in and the possible outcome with the dude involved.
A guy had an affair with a white babe and later ended the relationship.( babe was toxic)
Lots of stories flying around them but what captured my interest is that the babe accused him of rape.
How?
They did it without cd and along the line she told him to use withdrawal method but dude poured everything inside and its classified as rape.
Is this even possible?
He will be taken to court soon.
Me, I no understand o.

That's rape.
He should get a lawyer ASAP.
Politics / Re: Why Is Borno State Not Paying VAT? (Photos) by dustydee: 9:22am On Sep 20, 2021
Trimjos:
So attached are two food receipts from restaurants in Maiduguri Borno state and Portharcourt Rivers state where I went to eat.

It clearly shows VAT are collected in Rivers, but not Borno and most other northern states. I have been to Adamawa, Yobe, Kebbi, Taraba, Bauchi and host of other northern states.

NOTE: I took the pics myself. First one is from Maiduguri, while the second is from portharcourt; and they re all from this month.
The fact that you went to a restaurant and you were not charged VAT does not mean that other businesses in the state do not pay VAT. I am 100% certain that not all businesses in Rivers pay VAT. Your topic, I believe, is to stir up sectional sentiments. It is indeed to the detriment of the state to not maximise VAT collection. You will have a point if Jevenik in PortHarcourt charges VAT while the same restaurant in Maiduguri does not.

Sir, please which field offers more sponsorship to applicants without much job experience
I can't say, you will need to make a freedom of information request to the home office but I will imagine that the medical and tech fields will be among the top.

You stopped your studies and switched to tie 2 work visa?

Graduate visa counts towards 10yrs route
Accept the offer, finish your studies and take up the job/switch visa. I believe the organisation making the offer know the applicant is on tier 4 and needs sponsorship hence the offer.
I know people who got offers with sponsorship just after the end of their 1st semester around January/February for September/October start.

Thats still some form of informal practical lessons, although I believe it's a risk and not advisable to do that without driving lessons especially when the rules and side if the roads for driving are different. We have seen how a US diplomat wife from America killed Harry Dunn and escaped punishment because of "diplomatic" status.
In the context of the discussion, he was referring to practical lessons in the UK and the fact that if you were driving in Nigeria, you must take practical lessons in the UK before you pass which is not true.

I don't need to know him personally.


In naija we all drive like mad men.

Without practice with an instructor he shall not pass.

I know people that attempted and had to do 3-4 test before passing.

I know someone that failed in less than 10min.


Another way to pass on the cheap side is by watching mock tests and driving faults on YouTube.


DGN driving school
Ashley Neal.

Etc.

Paid version of Theory test pro (the yellow one) for theory test study and practice.

The above will increase the chances for success
It is good advice for him/her to take driving lessons but to conclude that it is impossible to pass without taking practical lessons here is what I have an issue with. Your only evidence is based on the people you know (which is most likely less than 0.01% of Nigerians who used to drive in Nigeria and have passed their tests. There are excellent driving schools in Nigeria and some companies send their employees there for training. I also know someone who used their 1 year they are allowed to drive before converting to a UK license to get familiar with the roads and passed at first attempt without taking any practical driving lessons.

But there's a common talk that our certificate is not valued abroad and can't get one a job abroad, so when applying to those jobs on the websites you listed earlier,prior to the completion of our masters degree, how do you indicate an MSC certificate in view on the platform or are we applying based on our first Nigerian degree?
If it is not valued, why would your school admit you? I know a lot of Nigerians denigrate our degrees obtained from Nigerian universities but if you attended a decent university in Nigeria and earned your grades, you are good to go. The major issue we have is the inadequate facilities in our universities but given how much we pay, one can understand. Some of my MSc courses were what I had done in my undergrad days in Nigeria. I only struggled in the software/practical aspect.
The company employing you review your CV and see your qualifications. They then decide whether to proceed or not.
They know you are yet to complete your masters, they make you an offer so that you can concentrate on your studies.

Well, let me not bore you guys.i will go straight to the point.

I met this girl,and we became friends,then lovers.

She likes my looks and we both share time,massages and motivational talk together.

I though I could just be friends with her,just random friend until we became so close that she practically confess she love me.
Though I am a public toilet too, have so many girlfriend which I told her but she said no problem,since we both love each other.

I ask her about her past as she told me,she has only dated a guy but they are no longer together.

Thanks for this Feedback.
I'm in same dilemma as my 1st degree is Agric Economics which I've never worked with but have obtained a diploma in HR via CIPMN. Currently work as an SAP HR Consultant but planning to go for MSc in HR to support the Diploma while the end goal is HRIS or HR Data Analyst. I'm on on a 6 months data analysis training.
Hope I'm on the right course so I don't enter UK and be stranded.

Personally an MSc in HR is not necessary. A lot of HR people in my former company did not even have a first degree. That data analysis training is what I would focus on and perhaps look for a related masters if I have to.

@ dustydee what if after my masters degree, paraventure I didn't get the big company jobs, and I managed to get a job with a company that is reluctant to sponsor my visa, you know by that time I have my 2 years PSW to stay in the UK, can I change companies/job within a short time, if I get another job with a company willing to sponsor my visa while still on that unsponsored visa job... wont that affect my CV or won't it affect me one way or the other?

Response From gurus in the house will also be welcomed
You can change jobs.
How will changing jobs to a company willing to sponso your visa affect your CV?

Good evening, please I'm a chemical engineering graduate with less than 6 months experience and less than 26yrs. I'm looking at this courses and universities. My intention is build my career as Business Analyst/System analyst. I'll be taking a loan to fund half of my tuition fee and living expenses and so I need to get it right in the choice of course and university I choose. Please I'll be grateful if you use few minutes of your time to go through each of the course overview and what the university has to offer and revert back on the course I should go for among the 3 listed courses below, thank you.

Cc., dustydee, wallg123, oscartm and anyone in the IT space.
Birmingham city university( Msc Digital Transformation with 5 months placement)
https://www.bcu.ac.uk/courses/digital-transformation-msc-2021-22

De montfrot university, Leicester( Msc information systems management with 1yr placement.
https://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/courses/postgraduate-courses/information-systems-management/information-systems-management-msc-degree.aspx

Coventry University( Msc Management of Information Systems and Technology with work placement option)

https://www.coventry.ac.uk/course-structure/pg/2021-22/eec/management-of-information-systems-and-technology-msc/?visitor=international
Personally I believe you should choose based on your interest and the course content but sometimes there are other considerations that people make including fees. Go through it and see which one appeals to you most. You do not need a masters degree to become a business analyst. An MSc in information systems can open several doors if applied.

Thank you so so much I am really happy I'm getting somewhere... I also had a 2.1 in my under graduate... but please can I ask more questions:
1. how was it like coping with your first ENGINEERING job while doing your msc,
2. was it like your were doing any part time job at that time before the ENGINEERING job,
3. is it possible to do an ENGINEERING job part time?
4. I'm in my early 30s hope that won'tbe an issue when applying for graduate jobs?


I'm not coming in this September but next year January


can I get the link to the materials of competency questions
What dupyshoo was saying is that she got her job before she finished her masters and she was giving you the tip on how to go about it. She didn't have to start the job until after the completion of her masters. That's the way it works most of the time. Before the introduction of PSW, most students complain they only have 4 months after their studies to look for sponsorship and it's inadequate, that is wrong. The UK gives you about 16 months to look for job. Your graduate job search starts in September when you resume and hopefully by January of February after your first semester exams, you would have gotten a job offer to start in September of that year. That leaves you to then concentrate on your studies (2nd semester and project). Most big companies advertise their graduate positions for the following year September start between September and December the year before. If you leave it late, the chances are that most of the positions will be filled already and the remaining ones may be companies that are reluctant to sponsor. I also got my Engineering role before I finished my masters and I know several others in my school too who got jobs aafter our first semester. Just make sure you utilise your schools' career services and open your eyes.

Hello,
I am new to this forum. Please i did my biometrics on Friday,on my undergraduate certificate and waec,one of my names was omitted, however on my transcript,it was included and my passport has all three names , I did an affidavit ,but, the school rep(agent) that assisted me forgot to upload my affidavit for reconciliation of name. Should I be worried?
I would not worry about that at all. As long as you have not submitted any fake document, then you are good. For me, UK visa is about the easiest to get and inconsequential details like that should not affect you except if you have other things going on.

I feel IT is more of your experience/ professional certifications and personal projects you've done will be needed for you to even get a job not the degree certificate... my thoughts though being good at what you do in IT takes more time.. more especially when you are not in working in that field and coupled with lots of competition around.. I feel the competition in nursing and care jobs are lesser compared to IT field I can still do the IT thing as I've done some trainings in d past on graphics design, fortran 77 n 90, and Microsoft Azure AZ-900 which I started earlier this year but had to discontinue because of work load pressure... I've seen most job adverts for IT field they require you to know upto like 5 programming languages... it's not like nursing where you get to specialize in one field and grow there... mind you I'm not also scrapping IT line... but man if you reason am well how do I write my SOP when applying for admission as well as going for visa interview to convince dem I want to do IT when my background is ENGINEERING and even if I decide to switch after one degree in UK to IT ... how soon can job come as Bill's go dey build up
You don't need any SOP for most UK universities. The UK does not conduct visa interviews. Anybody that is interested can study IT related courses. If you need to, state why you chose the course.
IT is much more than coding. There are IT fields you can get into with 3months of training/study. If you insist on a masters, subjects like cyber security and Data science could give you a very good chance of getting a job.

Bro, I’m sincerely pained with your personal problems but more pained that you brought it on this platform. This is a public platform where we come to catch cruise and of course from time-to-time express ideas/suggestions on sundry issues. This is not the platform to discuss your marital issues - your marriage deserves its privacy and respect.

Marriage is a very sacred institution and irrespective of the happenings, this is the very wrong platform to either express your situation or seek for advice for such problems as peculiar to you and your spouse. You are an adult and MUST have a network of people around you including clerics and family who should be the circle within which your discussions about your issues should reside with. You didn’t marry out of the blues and neither have you lived with your spouse without a support network – leverage this.

There are no marriages without problems but if we all come on this platform or other public platforms airing our situations, we make mockery of this very pivotal institution and show we are incapable of handling or managing situations. You are a manager of a woman and two kids and that’s your cross – not mine or anyone else here on this platform. You must take that cross and carry it ALONE and carry it well. You must do ALL it takes to make it RIGHT.

I sincerely wish you the best in your marriage but hey MAN UP. What advice do you expect from us who aren’t in your peculiar shoes or concerned parties? If you need advice on visa routes or professional advice (lawyer for instance) that’s fine to ask here, but please respect that institution, your wife, and kids. Give them that privacy please.

God bless.
I disagree with this submission. Yes, maintain your privacy but there is nothing wrong in seeking advice here. Sometimes the angle from which some people approach issues here, you cannot find online or from your immediate circle of friends. He hasn't done wrong, in my opinion.

Your wife doesn't like you anymore and has been erasing you since bit by bit.
