My advise for anyone coming to the UK is to remain focused and keep pushing. If you’re coming as a student ensure you complete your course and do all you can to establish a relationship with a Caucasian so you can cement your stay here. Except for those who intend to return to Nigeria after education or whatever visa they came with, getting married or impregnating a native should be your top priority.

Is there any particular reason you mentioned "with a caucasian"? What about other races? Latina, Asian, black etc.?

Three Nigerian students/graduates of the Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, have been killed in a car crash that occurred last week.

They are identified as Daniel Okocha , Oluwatosin Adeojo and Femi Adebowale. The deceased and one other person were taking a trip in a car when it was struck by a pick-up truck. .

RCMP were called to 1st Avenue and Battle Street at 1:40 a.m. PT after reports of the collision. Daniel and Femi died at the spot while Tosin later died at the hospital .

The owner of the truck was arrested Sunday but was released later that day. No charges have been laid. .

A statement from the university's president, Brett Fairbairn, posted on TRU's website, says all four people in the car were international students, either current or alumni.

Sad. Where does your story say the driver ran away? Seun, mynd44 and moderatos, top posting misleading headlines.

It is UK Business Class Visa that allows you to transact business in UK for a period of six months maximum, then you leave UK.

I do not think the UK has anything like that. The business visa is not called B1

crestking:
how can u verify a real visa...

is there any machine or procedure to find out when an agent deliver a fake visa

If you followed the visa process, you should not be worried about it being fake or real.

Ope4Christ:
Be a PR holder in Europe first, then you can apply for Visitor's Visa to USA, you will be given 10years multiple entry visa to USA.

To get USA PR(Green Card) is a different ball game entirely. For your first question, you can never get USA PR that way. No, never because the process is totally different.

UK B1 Visa is not PR, okay? Until you get UK's PR you cannot be given 10 years Visitor's Visa to USA. If you're on UK B1 Visa with Nigerian Passport you can only get 2years Visitor's Visa to USA.

Kind regards.

Which one be "UK B1" visa again?

EL-Rufai OR Asiwaju Tinubu: Who will make a better Nigeria president? .. What are your thoughts?

"WIN" or "defeat". Tinubu is not a prize so El Rufai cannot "win" him but he can defeat Tinubu.

The reality is that no company was willing to invest in supplying gas to Calabar power plant without a take or pay agreement.
The problem now is that Calabar power plant has a capacity of 561MW, but it's not generating up to capacity because the Distribution companies are not ready to take the whole power generated which they blame on poor revenue collection.
So the power plant is asked to generate below capacity, running 2 out of 5 turbines most times while the gas is available there, because the company has to recoup it's investment, the FG has to pay a percentage for not using the supplied gas while the citizens suffer lack of adequate power.

I know this because I work in the generation system which is frustrating to us watching what the Discos are doing to Nigerians

I don't quite understand this, is it a Disco issue or insufficient capacity by the TCN? Why will the Discos not want to take power and make more money? Please help me understand the dynamics.

Currently, students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State and the students of University of Lagos are dragging each other on social micro-blogging platform, Twitter with a hashtag #OauVsUnilag.

See some of the Tweets we captured:

What is the meaning of "dragging each other on Twitter"? It sounds like nairaland English.

The drama that happened on Friday I forgot to gist you guys ...
On Friday morning on my way to normal hustle, the driver of the bus I entered kept delaying us...
He would practically park his car and wait for someone coming from far distance to enter the bus..
Sometimes when the people approach the bus..
They wave to signify they ain't interested..
Some will snub the driver and continue walking without paying attention If he was waiting for them or not...
E remain small make the driver enter people house begin drag them to enter his bus..
All these were happening, he was delaying us..
Passengers were begging him to take us to our destination naa that he is wasting their time..
Some were shouting at him...
The driver no send..
He told them he won't carry only them to Onitsha because they did not buy bus for him...
That his bus is public transport not private car..
You know how Savage some drivers can be...
We were enduring it shaaa...
After all he was right.. Nobe public transport?...
Na we find em problem enter em bus...
We got to this particular bus stop where he drove into the street and he came down, started calling people coming out to enter his bus...
Roughly We've spent more than 30mins on a journey of 15mins and we are not halfway yet...
As he was there calling people to enter his bus,one young guy came down from the passengers seat..
Went to the driver's seat,
Started the car and drove us out..
Straight to Onitsha ...
Before the driver could run from where he was to his bus,we don go far ....
The guy didn't say a word till we got to Onitsha..
We kept hailing him...
Nna na enye motor oku (fire dey go)...
Na you biko ...
We got to Onitsha He parked the bus inside their bus stop..
Told everybody to drop their money on the driver's seat..
If you eat the driver's money..
Na you sabi o..
Everyone dropped #100, those that needed balance,collected from others..
Rallied the driver's money and dropped for him on his seat while everyone of us ran away before the driver arrives ...
Me I went to my customer's shop where I buy beans and plantain to wait for the driver's arrival and the drama that follows...
Mins later,the driver came racing towards the park...shouting... Threatening fire and brimstone..
Asking his fellow drivers if they saw the guy that parked his bus...
They didn't understand because their mind no reach say the guy wey park the bus nobe driver sef....
When he explained his ordeal everyone started laughing at him...
Some told him na wetin fit am cos he dey over do em own atimes...
After shouting and cursing the guy..
He went and collected his money .
Case closed...
I was expecting bigger drama but the driver na afo anu ...
Na only mouth he get....
And that guy that drove us..
Na real king mehnnnn...
That's how stars do ..
They don't talk too much..
They act

Who will do this in Lagos

Funny. I hope the driver has learnt his lesson.

DenreleDave:
As in I don dey on this girl matter since last year oo, I really like am much if I must Confess.
One thing happened yesterday and it Pained me so so so much. One of my neighbor in hostel fell sick early in the day and in the evening after church weekly meeting, I got to meet this babe as she was going back to her hostel and she was on a call and I heard a name that sounds like one of my sick neighbors roommate. She was asking the guy about the sick one (the sick one is her frnd like she claims). She was asking the clinic they took him too and so on, I could sense that she was kinda worried.

Later that night, she still called me again to go find out about the sick guy bcox he is my next neighbor. She still called the roommate to my sick neighbor again asking about his whereabouts and so on.

So later later sha, we dey chat for Facebook. So I was like why are you so worried Cox I cud sense dt she is kinda tensed.

She said
"the guy took care of her when she was sick, he was the one doing the stress for her when she went to clinic and now he is sick and she is stuck here and doesn't know which hospital they took him too"

Now here is my problem;
Most times when things are not really fine with this babe, I used to sense it or have dt kinda feelings dt sumtin is wrong with her. We stay in different hostel so we chat and call. When she was sick, she didn't tell me, I even told her that I av this feelings that she is not feeling fine but she lied and said she is fine. It was her younger sister dt later told me that she was admitted in a clinic. Imagine oo, I even offered to go with her whenever she is going for her injection and she was like no, she can take care of herself.
I couldn't force her but I never knew it was bcox of this guy she was doing this.

Guys, I'm not angry that she cared for a guy that cared for her but lying to me when she wasn't fine annoys me. I feel helpless and angry.

Maybe he who get more bargaining power gets the babe. Most times I av always wanted to help her but she always insist No, she doesn't wana stress me, I'm just a hustling student.

Guys, do u think I shud just end this with her and go my way.. I can't keep enduring this

Maybe she doesn't like the way you type.

What kind of Business in Nigeria will give you (N2.8m) in one transaction?

Just take small small dey lie...

If you think that you’re gonna move abroad & start engaging in Scams,Fraud & Corruption to meet up expectations back home then be ready to spend some time behind bars.

probably he/she does not pay tax and also probably underpays his or her workers.

danberg:
Keep your shirt on bro.
No one's getting banned here..lol, but I get your drift. I was thinking and saying the same things but the dude kept insisting it was legit and was upset with me and reported me to a fellow associate..

Angry? Is it by force to do business? What of his own account?

justwise:
Are you really serious? let me just put it this way..if you have such person as a business associate then you really need to have a look at yourself

This is just insane to even think that you will do this in the UK

I wonder how some people think. So the bank will erase the money or loan and he is asking if it is legitimate? Whose money or who will then pay back? I think danberg deserves a ban for stupidity.

fineyemi:
Thanks for your prompt response, I understand what u are saying. Will it be possible for canada papers to be processed in the UK since my bro is presently in the UK with a standard visitor visa

The process for migrating to Canada takes time and he will not be able to process it in 6 months (assuming it is possible from the UK) by which time his visit to the UK would be over. Why does he not want to process it from Nigeria? That would not stop him from visiting the UK. He can start evaluating his documents from anywhere bit cannot conclude it while in the UK so it doesn't make sense to do it in the UK. It's a different issue if he is a student.
The question you or your brother should answer is why do it from the UK?

lollybizzu:
Thank you

Mind you, I'm never in support of the man did and I'll never do such in my life.
I derive joy in helping people.

I tell my mum thank you after every meal.

Learn to show appreciation it does not remove anything from you dear; it will only help you.

Thank him for what exactly? The result he was yet to sign? Or for applying for the scholarship for him and awarding him the scholarship?
Please let us stop enabling corruption. Thank you or not, the HOD has no right to withhold the result.

Angelfrost:
Are geniuses not rare in that region??!...

No sir/ma. They are not. If you've lived in that region you'd know this.

Angelfrost:
This is super impressive... A rare genius from a region of academic nonchalance.

Rare? Being a genius is innate and not where you ate from. Your environment only helps you to discover or channel that talent.

skin2care4:
There is this skin problem I have Been having on my body for quite a while now especially on my chest as you see in the pic below.

It doesn't seem to respond to all the treatments I have used on and it's not itchy, it doesn't hurt at all. and it seems it runs in the family including some of my cousins too. Please and please Doctors and skincare experts in the house can you help me with a solution to this problem? Am planning on getting married very soon. Thank you God bless.

It looks like pimples. Google "doctor pimple popper" on youtube. You will find videos of her treating people with similar conditions and you will learn more about it. It probably is dead skin growing underneath your skin.

Perhaps the cost of divorce was too high for him.

mayordy:
Good day people,

A month ago, I suddenly started feeling pain in my chest and dizzy eyes and numb palms and feet, I thought it was shortness of blood because I have been stressed for the past 6 months waking up out of bed getting into traffic to work and coming back in traffic late at night.

The chest pain feeling like my heart skipping a beat still didn’t go away, i couldn’t get a sound sleep every morning I wake up unrefreshed and tired through out the day

I checked my blood pressure one day at the pharmacy and it was abnormally high and I’m just 26 I went to the doctor and conducted PCV to check my blood count, malaria test and fasting sugar, all came out normal, he suspected angina so I also did an ECG which also came out normal, the doctor gave me paracetamol, vitamin B12 capsule and since then that is how I have been frequenting the hospital, each time the blood pressure still high.

Last week I was still at the doctor last Thursday and my BP was 148/96 at my age, yet the doctor doesn’t really tell me much he just keep prescribing the same sleeping pills and vitamin B12 and iron capsule.

Right now I presently can’t help myself to sleep, my day is always filled with fatigue, headache, dullness, I lose concentration at work, I can’t seem to get anything done because my eyes get heavy and my head be pounding me seriously. I don’t know what is going on I’m gradually losing the sharp young man I used to be.

Please, I don’t know if anybody has gone through a phase like this or if we have experienced doctors in the house please.

Please I need all the help I can get

When last did you go for an eye test? Have your eyes checked in addition to other medical checks.

Ghostty:
Hello All.

Thank you.

Reject it. It is because people accept these kinds of offer that employers keep giving them. If they keep rejecting these offers and the companies need someone, they will be forced to prove the offer. Contribute your own quota to the change you want to see.

simonlee:
This kind thing, just accept the sack and go jejely before they implicate you on top one fraudulent deal you know nothing about. Them no born you put for there, carry your clear conscience japa.
If you like, dey there... them no dey tell person, you go learn your own lesson!

And this is why things like this keeps going on. We need to be principled even if the consequences are dire.

How a local Beach in Lagos Nigeria look like

How does an 'international' beach in Nigeria look?

zakim:
Mr Fidet Okhiria, Managing Director, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), says the Abuja-Kaduna Train Service (AKTS) generates an average of N100million monthly. Okhiria disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

“It is quiet impressive. I can tell you as we speak we have over N100million a month on the Kaduna-Abuja. “I don’t have the figure off hand but all I know is that we are averaging over hundred million,” Okhiria said. The NRC boss expressed satisfaction with the increased turnout of passenger at the AKTS, adding that government was making efforts to address the passenger surge on the train line.

What is impressive about this? With this amount, how long will it take topay off the loan used tobuild it? Then add running costs and inefficiencies.

Noblefirstlady:
Why do some men stop their wife from putting on trousers after marriage?
A man will meet a lady that always put on trousers, and he will be OK with it, infact he would love it on her. But immediately after marriage he doesn't want it anymore and he will still be eyeing girls that are wearing trousers outside.
What really is the problem guys?

Yes if the woman can also stop the man from wearing what she does not want him to wear.
But seriously was this discussed before marriage and did the woman agree? If not then the man may be asking for trouble. What is wrong with his wife wearing trousers?

Lexusgs430:
And this was me thinking, God fearing only related to people looking to explore places not open to all ..........

What's the relationship between Nanny and God fearing?

What does God fearing really mean ? How do you measure God fearing abilities?.....

Exactly my sentiment when I saw that requirement in that post. A "Nigerian" who is professes to be "God fearing" is a red flag to me as it often me suggests I am about to be scammed or taken advantage of.

Excellent. I hope the VP goes after Timi and Kach and see the case to a logical conclusion.

I am not happy about this but the decision is understood.

RalphJean:
Hello Guys, Here is my Credit Card-related question:
What does total Credit mean?
1. It is an 'unwritten rule' and Best practice to keep spendings to around 30% of total credit yes?
2. If I have two cards: X (credit limit £1000) and Y (Credit Limit £1500). If I use £1000 from card Y, and £0 from card X. Would this amount to me utilizing too much? One thing I am sure is that I will ALWAYS pay every single kobo by the end of the month.

in the example above, when my credit score is being calculated, would it be that I have utilized (1000/1500)*100 = 66.7% of Credit (on card Y)
or
I have utilized (1000/2500)*100 = 40% of credits available (cards X and Y)?

Help a brother.

I want to build a solid credit history please..

I am not sure if number 1 works that way as I used to have only one CC with low limit of £1500 and so I used to spend more than 50% of my limit and a few time close to the limit and it never affected my credit score . In fact it seemed to have gone up from around 928 before I got the card to about 957 with the spending. I have since acquired an Amex card with a higher limit and my score is close to 980

msmon:
YOU NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON THIS NEW CBN CASHLESS POLICY.

CBN Policy Says Cash Withdrawal and Deposits Amounting to 500k or more now are to attract additional charges,

The policy is Straight and Simple.

What it is saying is that if You want to make a cash withdrawal of 500k then you should be ready to pay 15k as charges.

Also if you want to deposit 500k then u should be ready to add extra 10k on it as charges.

Now the question is why?

The answer is beacuse the government is trying to encourage a cashless economy.

So how do you avoid this penalty?

Simple! Don't withdraw cash in excess of 500k to pay anybody, rather collect their account number and transfer the cash to them. Also if someone wants to pay You 500K don't collect it since You know You can't keep it in the house but will take it to bank who will then charge You for the deposit. Instead, tell the person to use Your POS or transfer to Your account or they pay You through USSD CODE.

This way, the Cashless Policy Will be Implemented.


Culled from:- Moshood Abiola Ologundude FACEBOOK PAGE

not quite correct. If you withdraw N510000, you pay N0 for the first 500k and 3% of the extra 10k which N300. So on 510000 withdrawal you pay 300 naira.

Banks Defy Legislature, Serve Notice Of Cashless Policy Implementation

Despite the House of Representatives directive that CBN and banks stop the implementation of the latest cashless policy initiative, some banks appear bent on going on with the move.

Polaris Bank, for example, has served notice to its customers.

Nigerians see the move as fleecing bank customers by financial institutions with the active connivance of the CBN.

The House of Representatives responded to these misgivings by ordering the banks to shelve the plan. But banks, standing to benefit, seem determined to go on with the plan.

Now it is a matter of who blinks first and whose words will hold water: the Legislature or the banks.

ATTENTION PLEASE...

The legislators have no power to stop the CBN or the banks from implementing this policy. Only the courts or the CBN can order such.
