thanks for this .. i will apply for this asap..

if some bills refuse to add my name .. can i use a bill (SHELL) with her name and address and then provisional drivers license with my name and same address for the same month/period.. e.g June 2020..

Is there any place in UK Gov where these are all stated like the way it was clearly stated for initial spousal visa application?

This spousal visa extension process is annoying.. no clarity
You can use a combination of bills in your own name and your spouses' name in each quarter e.g. Bill/mail in wife's name for quarter one + Bill/mail in your name for quarter 1. Bill/mail in your name can be phone bill, charity you support, bank statement, credit card statement, HMRC document, car finance statement, insurance policy, professional body letter, bonus or promotion letter from employer (All addressed to you) etc. NB: not letter from your friend.

EducationRe: The Salary Of A Nigerian Professor After IPPIS (Pictured) by dustydee: 11:36am On May 19, 2020
MoIbrahim:
See Take Home Pay Of A Professor After IPPIS

These people have made up their minds to completely destroy the public university system.

Is this what a professors takes home in the universities that their own children do attend?

342k per month (less than $1,000) after about 20 years in service, and so many promotions.

This is just the end of the public university in Nigeria.

Note: 4th column says "gross", and gross means total including all allowances.
The total take home for a new professor is 342K and that is low but it is not the fault of IPPIS but that is the current salary scale as at today. Mind you they also have pension and NHF contributions which is there's but not immediately available to them.
They should be asking for better pay and not fighting against IPPIS.
I have seen vacancies here in the UK for university lecturers and was disappointed by the pay. My professors then in Uni did not rely on their salaries but on research grants, private consultancy services, inventions and other similar means of income. Nigerian academics will do well to be productive but I acknowledge that that will be difficult given the inadequate research facilities available to them.

No. In my organisation then, I know some people that request for theirs at the beginning of the year to take care of other commitments.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by dustydee: 12:24pm On May 16, 2020
DisGuy:
Actually thay part was my mistake. Was going to add depending on employer and sector public or private

Leave allowance = paid annual leave, no?
No. Leave allowance is an amount you get paid annually for leave outside of your regular salary. It varies from employer to employer. Mine used to pay about 13% of annual salary then. So when you take your leave, you get paid your salary + 13% of your annual salary in that month.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by dustydee: 11:43am On May 16, 2020
LuvlyIva:
Thank you for your response. But do they pay leave allowance for all job? Are they other benefits one get why working that can cover the 13th month?
DisGuy:
Why is the 13th month so important if i may ask, if you get paid well...
Yes you get paid annual leave, 23-29 days
Maternity leave 6-1 year
Paid Paternity leave 2weeks or more depending on circumstances
Study leave...
All these are standard....as long as you dont work for DisGuy and sons ltd

The koko is getting a job in a country that suits your personality or lifestyle
I do not know any company in the UK that pays leave allowance but some pay bonus, which is often discretionary.
Study leave is not standard. Some employers grant study leave but some do not. For some they give you time off for study but nothing to say it is standard.

Hello house I was just discussing with a friend, she told me that my country is better than UK. She said I should not border to come to UK, that the country is hard. I told her my wife is in UK, she advice I can be visiting her. Please house I need help o for those of you that live in the UK. What are the advantages and disadvantages. Those of you that left Nigeria to UK, is UK better than Nigeria? What were the experience, Am I better off in Nigeria than UK? I am working presently and earning up to 200k, with medical, leave allowance of 200k and 13th month. (Can I get all these benefits in the UK?) My wife also keep complaining that UK is difficult. I am confused. I was just contemplating telling her to come bk and get a health care job . I need advice please my bros and sisters on how you guys were able to make it in the UK. What are the advantages of me staying in the UK. I studied Germany language, what can I start to do to get a good job. How can u guys convince me that UK is better. Thank you
It depends on your personal situation and preference.
You or others may not necessarily agree with my position but I will speak only for myself.
I had a very good job in Nigeria and decided to accept an offer here after my education. In the first 2 months I was enjoying my job and learning a lot. A few months later I started having regrets. I still sometimes wish I hadn't left and plan to go back if I can find something equivalent to what I had before I left. What I left was effective a job for life, excellent allowances and pension and many benefits which no employer in the UK I know offers. Someone talked about our health system not being comparable to the NHS, that is true but there are hospitals in Nigeria that are better than the NHS. I had access to some of those through my employer then but the "ordinary" person may not be able to afford it. For some, Nigeria is a hell hole and will do anything to leave, if you fall in that category then please move. As for me it was not my intention to remain here but made a decision to accept the offer. I am still not convinced I made the right decision but I have learned a great deal and overall I am better at my job (which I am tired of and thinking of a career change).
The major downside for me will be security and poor infrastructure.

It does cost a lot. At the moment, you come across as desperate to move to the UK and that may, in my opinion, make her feel you are only interested in the move and not necessarily in her. She may well think you settle, you may start looking elsewhere. Try to make a decent living for yourself in Nigeria and even she will not hesitate to move back to be with you. It's obvious that she is struggling in the UK.

Many thanks for all your responses I appreciate. One more question she works with st. Andrew health care. Northampton. I want to confirm is this hospital is under NHS? Is there anybody that knows the hospital. They you
From information available on google, it is a charity and not an NHS hospital although they work with the NHS. You need to communicate better with your spouse so you will stop suspecting each other. Why don't you focus on your job in Nigeria and plan to visit her and vice versa pending when the visa issue is resolved?

Individuals testify of being cured from the virus but always keep the cure secret.

You took 8 tablets in the morning and 13 tablets at noon. How about you tell the world the names of the tables that cured you so millions will be saved.
What is treated is the various symptoms presented by the patient (it could be headache, diarrhea, Pneumonia etc.) Different people will have different symptoms so what works for one may not be effective for the other.

Me I’m so tired of all the BCs my mum has been sending me: “stand naked in the middle of the road and you won’t catch it”, “lick the tails of an antelope, and you won’t catch”, “drink spring water from Judah, and you will be cured..”

I don tire. If I post my DM, you’ll pity me. I’m tired of having to explain to people that there’s no cure or treatment. And that they don’t need to go to the hospital (because that’s what’s putting undue pressure on doctors/nurses).

The misinformation is terrible!
