escortafrik:
Looking for a Football Academy for my 7-Year-Old son.

Hello everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a good football academy for my 7-year-old son.

I’m interested in a place that focuses on skill development, discipline, teamwork, and provides a safe and encouraging environment for young children, Alimosho area in Lagos state to be precise .

If you know of any reputable football academies, please share their names, locations, and any details about your experience with them.

Thank you in advance for your recommendations.

https://community.escortafrik.com/d/238-looking-for-a-football-academy-for-my-7-year-old-son

I will suggest you login to IG and start joining pages of Nigerian football clubs. A few you can follow and make enquiries are:

https://www.instagram.com/dlilylegendssportsgroup/
https://www.ltfc.club/
https://www.instagram.com/paddyscosports/?hl=en

Once you start following a few on instagram, the algorithm will start suggesting more for you so you will be spoilt for choice.

By the way, don't listen to tnhose who tell you not to introduce football to your kids at this age.

My son is similar age with your son and plays football too outside Nigeria. He started at age 5 and currently plays in two teams (a grassroot club for his age and a Junior Premier League team).

In England and Spain, kids start playing football at age 4 on professional astroturf (what you call synethic pitch/artificial grass in Nigeria) and many of them learn ball mastery, winning tackles, shooting top bins and playing 5 aside games. By age 9, the really good ones get signed to categry 1,2 and 3 academies and they have to keep fighting for their shirt till age 17. If a new player comes into the academy and they are better than you, you just get dropped like that.

But i digress.

The problem with football/coaching kids is that, it's very expensive venture and there is no guarantee that the child will become pro at the end of it, so you have to support your child to play and at same time take schooling seriously.

What is your son's shoe size? I may have a few foreign used kids football boots (will check the house for them). If you want them, I'll see if I can get them across to Lagos to support your child.

Ayobami227:
Hello everyone,

Please is £1500 enough for a five day visit to the UK. I have £8000 in savings and earn 1.5m monthly.

My monthly expenditure is 400,000.

In my first application I was refused because I spent more than by stated monthly expenditure in July, but I explained it was a one off payment and non reoccurring debit in my cover letter, I paid 650k for my annual rent and 500k for my hotel booking trip to Ghana, but the VO called it a discrepancy and singled out those two dates from my bank statement.

Now, I want to submit my statement from August to October which does not have any discrepancy. It still hurts me because that's the only reason my application was refused despite all the many evidence I supplied.

By my calculation the £1500 converted to naira is less than 2 months of my disposable income. So I need your advice:

So that I won't submit a new application after addressing the reason for denial and what has changed in my circumstances, and THEN they will pick another reason for refusal in this new application.

I will appreciate your responses, gurus and expert. My savings comes from my rental property, investments and my beauty business brands and I intend to resubmit all the other documents I used in my first attempt, aside from my updated bank statement without any high one off debit.

My concern is , I don't want to reapply now , and they will find another reason.so I need our advice, is £1500 okay for a five day trip?

I will suggest that you itemise a table showing exactly how you will spend the money in your cover letter.

Something similar to the below:

Category Estimated Cost Notes
Accommodation £600 Budget hotel/hostel or shared Airbnb (~£60–£90/night)
Local Transport £120 Oyster card / contactless (Zones 1–3)
Food & Groceries £300 Mix of groceries + affordable restaurants (~£30/day)
Attractions & Activities £200 Museums are free; paid attractions ~£20–£40 each
Shopping/Souvenirs £150 Stratford Westfield/Primark/Gift shops
SIM Card & Misc. £30 Giffgaff/EE SIM, toiletries, small expenses
Emergency/Contingency £100 Unexpected costs
TOTAL £1,500 Stays within budget

Then you can print out proof of those costings in advance and add to your application. e.g. You can go on the transport for london website top print out how much it cost for day travel card, you can print out what sim card you will get, you can print ojut pages of the attractions you will visit etc. Add them to your application. It shows you know what you intend to do when you get there.

Thanks. If I want to reapply, should I remove that and not add any details about employment because I thought I could use it to show ties?

Let me give you my experience:

When I applied for my mum what i filled in that she is a home maker/house wife. I also filled in that her monthly income is the "Stipend" that I give her monthly which was just N150,000. I added some 3 month lemfi transfer reciepts to the application too to show proof of this and my mums bank statement shows proof of this too.

I then sent her equivalent of £1,500 into her NGN bank acount using LEMFi and add in my invitation letter that the money is for her (a) ticket and (b) travel stipends and stated that I will be covering her food, travelling around when she get here (I also included my UK current account statement).

Most times, if you say your parent is a trader and they don't have company bank accounts with sufficient funds, it's best to go down the route of you are the one giving them salary on a monthly basis route.

But thats my experience sha.

If you are in Lagos, go to Orile (or your local tile market) and look and ask for Anti-Slip or 'Rough" tiles. The more uneven the surface the better for slip prevention.

God bless you for this. This is exactly what I am looking for really. I'll ask for Antislip or Rough tiles.

Please does anyone know what is the best flooring to use in bathroom/toilet to avoid slipping when the floor is wet?

I observe that most houses in Nigeria use the regular smooth tiles and i am worried that this type of tile is an accident waiting to happen when the floor is wet especially if you have an aged that will be living in the property.

Any advise on this please?

You have made necessary provision for PHCN. That's a lovely installation. Since your inverter carry all the loads., it means you have done the necessary calculations. You can install inverter AC also as against the conventional type.. Having genrtstor as back up really makes a lot of senses. You will also spend less in recharging your Prepaid meter. Weldone sir.

Thank you for your kind words sir. I have learnt from you and a lot of other people on this forum and it has been helpful on the Project.

I will consider inverter AC's just like you said. I want to do everything to remain off grid (but have phcn prepaid and genset as backup) and have 24 hours uninterrupted power. This is the way to go.

I believe the wiring is talking about is main internal wiring. Let me give you more insight on the wiring aspect.
Since you are going completely off grid, You can have one distribution board for the total load of the building. Your load will determine the number of ways of the distribution board to be installed BUT if you plan to connect to NEPA(PHCN) in future you might need to have 2 distribution boards. One to be raw power and second to be Solar inverter. Your electrician can make the two distribution boards work on solar now but in future when you connect to PHCN you might need to separate the DB’s.

It will advisable to do all toilets doors before you install the sanitary fittings. We had some experiences in the past that some workers will messed up some toilets before the convection of main water supply to the building

Thank you for your response Topsy23, I spoke to my electrician to install two distribution boxes at the very least (solar & PHCN).

My spec really is to have (a) connection to PHCN (b) Connection to Solar (c) have connection for generator too. Solar will be my primary source of electric, only using phcn on days where sunlight/charge is not sufficient.

I still want the gen connection as a back up.

I am looking at 10-12kw inverter with at least 30-35 kw litthium battery. This should carry the load that I want for the house.

Good idea on the toilet doors. Must have been annoying seeing dollop of feaces in a sanitoary fittings that does not have main water supply

Is your house duplex or bungalow?

Your electrician can run the dc cable down to avoid future breaking of walls..that’s if u know the side of inverter system you are going to be installing

It is a bungalow. I asm hoping they won't need to break any walls.

Have you done doors? Do you intend to screed?
If you intend to screed please screed first before Tiling.

I'd direct your 2nd question to @Twinskenny

The external doors have been done. The internal doors (for bedroom and toilet and living room) are yet to be done.

I will consider the screding right now before any further work is done.

Plumbing fittings and tiling should go hand in hand.

The wiring for solar is quite different and a little expensive. For a 10kw, you might send up to 500k to 700k for the wires .

Thank you very much. I will consider the plumbing and tiling at the same time.

As for the solar, i am quite ready for it. I am looking to do a 10kwh and 35kw battery with at least 15-25 panels on the roof. I am currently designing a complete off grid system.

What should be next in the building phase to do?

My engineer suggest tiling should start, but want to check if anyone has any further ideas?

Also, a second question - I am looking to run inverter to give me opportunity to be offgrid if i choose to, will the wiring be different from the main house wiring or the electrician can leverage the same? any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

All you heard and was told are the correct answers to your enquiries. However, I wouldn't know why you need bulletproof doors for the externals. A good welder can fabricate a minimalist design for you, but don't forget to mention that it should be double panelled and the void in between filled with sawdust or whatever material they use so as to make it sturdy and soundless when shut.
Weldone.

Thank you very much. I really don't need bullet proof doors.

Does anyone know what the best type of door is good for internal and external doors?

EXTERNAL: I have been told of Turkey doors. Metal Doors etc. I really only want a simple/minimalist design (without too much patterns) door that is strong and secured. I want this door for both front/back doors and the kitchen exit.

What about bullet proof doors? is there any benefit to this at all?

INTERNAL Doors: I hear there is MDF or HDF which can be used for internal doors.

Also, does anyone have advise on which kind of door is good for bathrooms? I hear PVC doors are good.

Any advise please?

Good day all, Please I need help with quote given to me to plaster a 4br duplex with 1br & 2br flats attached to it:

Decking: 600k
Inside wall: 1.4m
Outside wall: 1.5m
Paraphate: 600k.

I know this an attempt to reap me off, but wanted to check if anyone could offer advice on how to pay this kind of work.

I plastered a four-bedroom bungalow two months ago and paid 800k for plastering inside and outside wall. You can negotiate the cost for the plasterring down a bit more, but i would say in comparison to my own cost, it seems fair costing.

you are misunderstanding Ireti. She is more on the side of decorum so that the 4 women can push their bills in the house that favour women. She is smart and sees the bigger picture.

I am a big fan of Natasha, but on this she erred. How can you claim sexual harassment (only after an altercation). An harassment that you don't have any proof of, An harassment you did not discuss/hint to any of the other female senators you are very close to.

When the news broke, these other women tried to reach out to you, you refuse to engage.

Any decent lawyer can quash this in court that she is accusing Akpabio because of the altercation.

We all know how inefficient the NNPC management are but we also know how corrupt Obj is: apparently, the so called $750m deal was with a consortium Obj has a vested interests in, and the sales of the refineries should have been supervised by the office of the VP under the act that established BPE. However, Obj sidelined his then VP (Atiku) and sold a 51% stake in PH refinery for $500m+ when it was at the time valued at $5b. When Yaradua came in to power, he saw the legal consequences brewing and with NUPENG/PENGASSAN threatening strike actions, he withdrew the sales and refunded Dangote!!!

Baba should go and rest with his antics and hypocrisy, he’s as corrupt as most of the people he accuses!!!

according to written reports, obasanjo sidelined atiku on the refinery because he allegedly did side deals with some of the privatised assets and obasanjo was not happy that he was selling the asset to his cronies (and vested interest)

He left the apartment only once in like 4 months. He stays awake all night with all manner of audio meeting like voices that are not too visible. The day he mistakenly left his door open, the small room was like a modern day studio. Camera everywhere, big monitors and other appliances I cant explain. Tiny room looks like an airplane's cockpit.
Drives an expensive car, greets whenever he likes and looks so reserved. and have his girlfriend visit once in a while. Worse still, he could even be a teenager. He is white.

Could he be a combat drone pilot? But he's pretty young and professes to be a student.

he is a gaming freak who probably runs an online business as well. if i were you, i'd find a way to be friends with him and get to know him more over a long period of time and then see if he introduces you to some of what he does.

Hi, thank you for your suggestions.

Everything mentioned has been put into practice, including vitamin D, for over two weeks now, along with what other posters have suggested.

It seems I’ll need to emphasize the allergen test to the doctor. The last time we went to the GP, we brought it up. If I had seen your advice earlier, I would have insisted on the allergen test, because from my own research, it seems likely she might be allergic to something.

hopefully the allergy test will provide the answers you need. on my end, what we did was to eliminate dairy (milk, cheese, butter), did allegy test and used dermatol (bought from Nigeria) sparingly on the skin (mix with Epaderm) and it seems to have gotten rid of it.

Morning all, could someone please suggest a cure for eczema and itchy skin for a 3-year-old girl based on past experience, please?

She's had eczema since she was 1 year old, initially appearing only on both knees. We've been using Aveeno cream since then, but it got worse this year when it started appearing all over her body. We took her to the GP, and she prescribed a steroid. It clears it away temporarily, but it comes back even more after withdrawing the steroids.

She keeps waking up during the night due to itching and can sometimes take 1 to 2 hours before she falls back asleep. As a result of the scratching, we also can't sleep until she sleeps.

She's not always in a good mood during the day as she spends lots of time scratching all over her body.

She's been sent back home a couple of times from nursery due to that.

List of stuff we've used: Aveeno, Zerobase, Hydromol, Epimax, Dermol lotion for bathing, steroid cream, Piriton for itching (this makes her too sleepy).

There is a very high chance that she is allergic to certain foods and her skin is reacting to them. Try to eliminate "dairy" for at least 2 weeks (e.g. animal milk, cheese and egg) and any snack that has any of these ingredients (if you check the label, you will see them in bold).

Instead of animal milk, buy Alpro Soya milk. Store-branded soya milk (Asda, Tesco, Morrison) is cheaper if Alpro is expensive. Instead of eggs, give more protein—fish, beef, and chicken.

Try this for two weeks (without adding additional medication); trust me, the itching will subside.

Also, tell go back to your GP, ask them to do an allergy test for you. The GP will tell you it's not needed and that it's just Eczema. Insist and tell the Doctor that you want the allergy test done by fire by force (i am serious).

If you get a push back, say to the doctor that the itching is worrying you, you can't sleep, you can't concentrate at work and its causing you depression.

Do copy me into your findings and I'll advise some more

The certainty with which you type despite making basic mistakes is worrying. e.g house prices doubling every 10yrs
There's only so much YouTube/Tiktok 'property experts' with little practical experience can teach. I'd be careful investing my hard earned money on the advise of such 'experts' whose main income source is tiktok views

I wish you the best in your investing endeavours. I no get energy for back and forth.

Actually it used to be 14 yrs in the UK but that has not held thru since the global crises of 2008 and are not even close to doubling.
Usually, I wouldn't indulge but you make some very troubling statements

I'm worried about how you speak in absolutes. In investing, nothing is certain. I just detailed how UK real property prices are where they were in 2004 yet the stock market on average returns 5-7% pa after inflation.

Secondly, I worry about your 2yr timeframe moreso with property. Have you considered costs of conveyancing both for both buying and selling, void periods before sell and risk of defaults? With investing in either of the two, I would not even go close if I'm not looking at a 5-10yr frame. When I was looking to buy my place which was within a 2yr timeframe, I remained in a cash isa following advise by an FA

Lastly, I like limiting my talk to things I have some knowledge on. I've been in the market for a BTL for over 6m now. As I was not in a hurry and still weighing options, I put the money in an index fund. I've been to view a number of properties many of which are from landlords selling as they did not find it profitable. Discussing with some others gave more insight. When I considered fees, tied down funds and the fact that a spoilt boiler or an entitled tenant in rent arrears (trust me there are loads) can wipe out your annual profit, not considering accounting fees if looking to incorporate, the remaining advantage of BTL becomes leverage which is only appreciable longterm. My capital in index funds are currently at 15% (was almost 20% at a point). Granted, this has been a particularly good yr. However that gain is tax free (if in an ISA), can be withdrawn at the touch of a button with no lawyer or estate fee e.t.c

Overall, I appreciate the pros and cons of both and see room for property investing in a diversified portfolio but it should be done out of knowledge and not building butterflies.

I see that you are stating your experience as a greenhorn who is new to properties. I state my own from my own experience as well.

That is fine. You can focus on your index funds. I'll focus on what I know best. Wishing you best of luck.

Zero issues..... You might just meet an over zealous immigration official at the desk in Nigeria, that might refer you to her Oga at the top (just tell him/her you would renew before you depart)......

My experience last month........

Thank you. What airline did you fly? I'm not even worried about immigration at Lagos. I can talk my way through that. My only concern is just the airline (in this case BA) agreing to me flying out. I've checked and I am getting conflicting information

I did, quite recently. Travelled with British Airline. It was quite straightforward
The lady at the counter checked and said there's a memo on their system that it's permitted.
No issues whatsoever.

Thank you so much. Did you mean that you travelled with British Airways? If so, that would make my life easier as I would be flying out via BA, and my only worry would be that they'd accept flying me out on an expired Nigerian passport. The passport expired 2021.
