I understand your £18K reference....... You still miss my point........

I don't mind breaking things nice and slow for you...... So you're fully up to speed ........

With that conversation, it was made in reference to how liquid one can get (by the time I grab one or two credit cards, 18K go comot...... I hope you know credit cards now allow cash withdrawal into bank accounts ..........
Does this attract the cash withdrawal fees as well?

justwise:
He did
Reading that does not suggest in anyway that he linked the guy's death to religion. He meant religion can keep people sane and suggested that he would have had better grip on things had he remained religious. He mentioned in the first few senteces that he joine a certain movement which encouraged him to end his life.
Now we may or may not agree with that assertion especially given the fact that the version of christianity practiced in Nigeria (And Islam) is largely the fake one. A lot of what we learned was not properly taught to us and we refused to study the scriptures with an open mind.

CRYPTICALLY
Convert to USDT......send the log in to your benefactor or save it...then you can always convert on yellow card or sell on binance or to reliable vendors like myself on Paxful.
Enough said.

No contrarily it isn't prone to such if you stick to only USDT for the transfers /transactions..it's a stable with no proneness to heart palpitations.
Unless the funds in question is not to be converted to Naira as you purported.
USDT = USD in value.


Wittyness
Binance can lock your funds if it's beyond a certain amount until you provide source of funds. It can take a few weeks to resolve. Never heard of yellow card, please send link.
But generally, converting to naira via crypto isn't too difficult. In fact I dread converting to pounds using p2p than to naira.

You don't seem to understand what a "link" is

It's different from "referral"

wink
I believe I know exactly what you mean. In Nigeria it is called "Man know man". If that is not what you mean, then please let me know. I am happy to learn.
Man know man is the easiet way to get a job here. In fact I have been referred for sevral jobs which I ended up not getting.

Just like in Nigeria but in the UK, having a link is the fastest way to get a job. Seen it several times in places I have worked. Some companies even encourage it, to reduce recruitment cost.

Or Germany and Netherlands, the trick to Netherlands is to apply for jobs directly from the UK.
Good idea. And I heard The Netherlands has a tax rebate scheme for skilled migrants where they pay less tax for a few years before moving to the normal tax band.

Bros they said africa was once the most civilized place lol abeg dead the matter for them. They call hunting lion with spear civilization or building groundnut pyramids. Lol abeg make we leave matter

People who are dying to be citizen of the same race they say havent done anything special.

They should ask themself why exactly they are dying to be the citizen of the race they claimed has not done anything special.


Do u know what it means to spend millions just to be the citizen of another race, and u claim the race is not special lol



Some one sent link of people inventing potato chips. Lol.

I looked at the list and the top three are blacks from europe or america i dint even bother looking at the list again.

Another person said because monzo or llyods dont send pdf it means they are not advanced. So u think if llyods wants to send you pdf they cant? Pdf o. Lol.

We are stating facts they are saying we are putting our race down.

For good 60 years we cant achieve steady power supply 60 good years. Haba. Rccg generates its own power oyedepo does the same why cant a country have steady light basic amenity.

Postal system is in shambles
Rail system in shambles.
National stadium in shambles.
And u r saying we are putting our race down.

We dey talk fact some ppl dey vex

See our national airport
Looks like a bakery no system in place
No automation
No organization
Nothing
Nothing to write home about
How can you become citizen of a race? You forget that civilisation is incremental. What you see today was mostly built on concepts from the past. But enjoy your new "race". I am surpriced you are stil fratenising with us - "the uncivilised black race"

If we had it going why then are u killing yourself to live in their land and be a citizen of their land

Abeg call a spade a spade

Even the some u r talking about arent citizen of africa nation they are blacks whom were born there
This thread has been turned to a "black race" bashing thread. Truely if people do not know theier history then they are lost. Imagine when Africa was the shining light of civilisation, if the caucasians who came and saw the level of development and "technology" simply sat back and said their race was inferior to the black race, perhaps they will be in a similar situation like we are in now. STOP LOOKING DOWN ON THE BLACK RACE. If you feel inferior, please speak for yourself and stop generalising. Thank you.

Saw this on a platform I am a member of. I have not fully reviewed it but it holds some valid information.


Major UK employers who sponsor work visas often start hiring candidates one year in advance. As some companies have started their 2024 recruitment season, we have created this essential guide for students and graduates in and outside the UK to help them better prepare for their job applicants.
 

Key information:

Employment Start Dates: 
There will be January, Spring(March/April), Autumn(September/August) and December start dates in 2024. Most companies will only have Autumn start dates.
 
Recruitment Start Dates:
For those 2024 employment start dates, employers start hiring from June 2023 onwards. Some companies have already started hiring for 2024. In order to apply, type "2024" in the search box here.
 
Eligibility:
For graduate programmes, students and graduates who have already graduated or will be graduating before the start date of the programme will be eligible to apply. For example, if you are applying for a graduate job that starts on 25 September 2024, you must have completed your courses before 25 September 2024.
 
For off-cycle internships, recent graduates or students who are in the university but want to have a gap year are eligible to apply. It is important to note that many off-cycle internships do not accept applicants based outside the UK.
 
For internships and placements, you often need to be in the penultimate of your university in the UK. It is important to check the requirements on the job description.
 
When to Apply:
You should start applying for jobs as soon as they become available to avoid disappointments. You do not have to be in the UK to apply for many jobs. For example, if you are coming to the UK to do a master's degree in September, you can start applying for jobs without starting your course.
 
Some investment banks, professional services firms and engineering companies have started hiring for 2024 entries.

I meant, since both parents would start working full time, the kids eould need company.


1). If I state in her application that she will stay for 30 days in her first visit but ends up spending 5 months at a stretch, don't you think it will impact her next renewal?

2). On the other hand, if I state in her application that she will spend 5 months, don't you think it will look like she wants to settle in the UK?
It shouldn't but then there is also no harm in estimating a more accurate duration.

I just make sure I follow the guidelines. First was to stay for around 4 months, she ended up staying for 5months +. Renewed and stayed for about 5 months. Subsequent one was 2years visa which she used twice. Can't remember how long each visit lasted.

How long does she stay back home before coming back again?
In our case, it wasn't strictly for childcare but we also had other grandparents come around. so it was roughly 1year to 18 months wait.

Hi, please did you state that she was going to stay for 5 months in your application?
I think I stated around 3 or 4 months in the first application, she spent just over 5 months. In subsequent applications, I have stated duration as 4 or 5 months. Again your situation will determine how you structure your application

Ok, thanks for your response. I thought there would be like a maintenance amount to show for the duration of stay.
What I did was to show an account statement with enough money to cover the flight fare and some miscellaneous expenses and then added my payslip and accomodation contract to show I can accommodate her and take care of her while here. First visit was for almost 5 months.

I want to co-ask on this. Please how much proof of funds would be deemed sufficient for a child care visit visa of this nature.
This depends on your situation and the requirements. Make sure you have enough to cover the airfare and a bit more (at least that's what I have done several times in the past). But my situation may be different from yours so do what you deem siutable to your situation.

Thanks for your input. Staying away for 6 months would affect my kids bcs they are not up to 4 years (primary school age)

What if she stays for 30days in her first visit, travels bk to Nigeria and spends 30 days in Nigeria, and then returns to the UK and spends the remaining 4 months, would visa renewal be a problem?
It should not be an issue but why spend all that money on flight when she can stay for 5 months straight?
When you say it will affect your kids, what do you mean? If they are so attached to their granma, have you considered sending them to live with her?

Hi my friends, I'm planning for my mother-in-law to come visit I and my wife in the UK to assist us with the kids. I have read a lot on this platform, and I appreciate the sacrifice.

My question is:

1). If the first application ( 30 days visit) becomes successful and she comes over to the Uk and then travels bk to Nigeria after 30 days of visit, how long do you suggest she should stay in her next visit before the visa expires ?
Note: we really need her for child care reasons.

2). On expiration of the 6months visa, If we apply for 2 years visa, how long do you suggest she stays in the UK for the first visit and subsequent visits ?

I understand the visits shouldn't be long and frequent so as not to look like a settlement.

I will appreciate anyone who has done it before or seen it happen to help me out.

Cheers
If she' s coming to help out with child care, then make her first visit about 5months, then she can stay away for around 6months before coming back.
Christianity Etc › Re: What The Bible Says About Marriage by dustydee: 10:44am On Jun 25, 2023
Jokanem:
What Does the Bible Say About Marriage?

After creating the first man and woman, God brought them together in marriage. He instituted marriage as a special bond between a man and a woman as a foundation for the family unit.—Genesis 1:27, 28; 2:18.

God wants married couples to be happy. (Proverbs 5:18) In the Bible, he provides standards for marriage as well as principles that can help a marriage succeed.

What are God’s standards for marriage?
From the beginning, God created marriage to be a union of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24) God does not approve of polygamy, homosexual acts, or couples living together without marriage. (1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:3) Jesus taught his followers to adhere to God’s original standard for marriage.—Mark 10:6-8.
Lies. Stop twisting the scriptures to suite your interpretation and understanding. Polygamy is not a sin and the bible does not condemn it. It's the "white" people that twisted it to be so and since then have been looking for scriptures to justofy it and yet found none.
Romance › Re: Men Should Stop Collecting Back Gift They Already Gave To A Lady by dustydee: 8:14pm On Jun 23, 2023
Jennyclay:
Biko, men should stop this sick attitude. How can you buy a gift for a lady, then any misunderstanding or break-up between you two, you go back and collect the gift back from her undecided. That's a stupid attitude biko you men should stop it. Even kids don't behave like that.

Henceforth, if any man wants to get me a gift, wether iPhone, hair, car, house etc.. the receipt must contain my name and my signature. so that incase of tomorrow he wants to show his stupid and sick character I will quickly sue him to court for stealing and assault. Because he's forcefully trying to steal what belongs to me. The receipts has stated it all and it would be my evidence.

If the receipts doesn't contain my name, Biko just keep your useless gift to yourself.

Shame on all men that collect back gifts he already given to a lady. Shame!!! Shame!!! Shame!!!
I believe legally, a gift, once given, becomes the property of the recipient. If the giver forcefully takes it back, then that is stealing. Do not give back any gift given to you except you want to voluntarily do that for a "clean break" or if it's an engagement ring.
