Is there any one who sells original body creams imported from Nigeria?
I’ve tried EBay but what was sold to me was an expensive fake cream. I use FAIR and WHITE. The one that comes in blue plastic. My skin is now becoming darker and dry. I’ve tried several products locally but none seem to be working on my skin.
Any suggestion? And if someone is coming from Nigeria can help me buy some, I’m happy to pay for the cream and luggage space. Thank you

When I got a car last year, I was introduced to a Nigerian man who is into helping people get cars insurance at cheaper rates. I didn’t eventually subscribe to his offer because I felt it was too good to be true. It’s about 1k £ per annum cheaper.
I just added another car and I’m looking for the cheapest deal out there. I’m just wondering if insuring through these folks has any serious consequences. I have full uk license and I haven’t had any claim since I came in.

I used an app called Credit Karma which guides you on whats needs to be done to improve your credit rating and lets you see soft/hard search.

All said, the 'score' is overhyped and counts for little to nothing when you come to get a mortgage. What's important is not having an adverse credit hx (e.g missed payment), your deposit, good income hx and sensible outgoings.

There's also a rent reporting agency which you can use to report regular rent payments on your credit file but again, I doubt how much effect that has in getting a mortgage.
Awesome. This is helpful.

I opened experian some weeks ago. I have a score of 748.
Which credit card would you recommend at this level?

Hello house. I’ll be 1 year in the uk by ending of next month. I opened Moneybox today and I funded my LISA with 3,500. I also put an order for a weekly deposit of £45 and monthly boost of 1000.
I am totally green when it comes to buying a property in the uk.
I don’t have a credit card. No other source of income aside from my salary.
What other things can you suggest to boost my chances of meeting up with the requirements of buying my first property in 1 year time?
My target is to save abt 40k in addition to my LISA contribution. Planning to buy home in Scotland.

Hello guys, i just got my UK driver’s License.

I came to The UK about 5 weeks ago on work Visa. To cut the long story short, i lived in a country for some years and i have their valid driver’s license. When i got to The UK, a friend told me that i can swap my license to get a UK one within 2 weeks, that Licenses from some designated countries can be swapped to a UK one. He showed me his own and i was surprised.

I did a little research and found out that it’s true. Went to the Post office 2 weeks ago and then i filled the DVLA form. I enclosed my BRP card alongside my license and a £43 Cheque. I sent it to DVLA Swansea.

I got a mail today, inside the envelope is my UK driver’s license. I’m so happy as my job demands a full UK license.

Just decided to share this here, thanks guys
Nice! I came from UAE. That’s how I also got my license.
People exchanging their uae drivers license will need to obtain a letter of entitlement from the uae government.
Dvla will keep the license submitted to them im exchange for the uk license.
Another good thing is that I didn’t lose my years of driving experience.

When I got my first salary 9 years ago as a civil servant, I told myself that i was going to save so much in order to invest, I was even seeing myself having my own house in 5 yrs time, here I am trying to apply for a loan since morning on quick bucks and I just received salary 2 days ago.

I'm grateful to God Almighty, if you want to enjoy tomorrow even though it is not assured u just have to sacrifice so many things, like ur choice of clothes, foods and so many others.
U just have to be contempted and have great plans for the little u earn and forget competing with anyone in the society, everyone carries different grace.

Family didn't help matter too bcuz of their constant demand monthly, to them u are working.
Business owner can easily lie that market is not moving, but a civil servant case is different.
I have seen some well paid staff that still complains about their salary not bn enough for them. To me I believe everything is just the grace of God.
I pray that God Almighty grants you financial breakthrough.

Odikwa Risky.

Take sometime off driving and master the roads as it seems you clearly don’t understand it.

I’m an advocate of, try to pass the theory test at least before you start driving with your international license. Even you will enjoy your driving with the knowledge that you would have gained.

You should get a Notice of Intended Prosecution with 14days.

You might be lucky and not get any if those cameras didn’t catch you.

Pls how soon can one get notified of a traffic fine, just in case?
I am still relatively new to the uk roads and I’ve made some serious traffic mistakes in the last 2 months. My saving grace is that I live in a suburban town with lesser population. roads are less busy and less complicated. But, I travelled to Manchester last week and I made some serious mistakes one their more-complex roads. I followed/drove against the traffic for some yards while trying to enter/exit road. It happened 3 times during the trip.
Police were not involved both times but there were cameras there. Other drivers were quick to notify me on time and I either turned back or adjust to the appropriate lane.

Politics / Re: LONDON DETENTION: Peter Obi Impersonator Issued Passport By Nigerian Govt by EJIOGBENIMI(m): 2:18pm On Apr 15, 2023
There’s more to that story.
Who issued the Nigerian passport to the impersonator? Does he share same passport number, age, date of birth?
Is Obi having valid Nigerian passport with him?
Who granted uk visa to the impersonator? At least, he did biometrics before being granted uk visa.
How did he get to the uk? He crossed both borders without anyone raising an eyebrow? If Nigeria immigration officials decided to be complicit as we may want to be made to believe, did the uk immigration officers also took bribe?
Peter Obi has been visiting the uk for ages, so, they have his data. Such person will be picked up at any of the borders.
So, why this time? What triggered this impersonation shit? Lots of people have been using “another person’s head” abroad for ages.
One person from Obis immediate family May be using his identify for shitty deals. Especially, now that the whole world has known him.
Only the Home Office can shed more light on this cos I’ll even not believe Peter Obi’s account for obvious reasons.
There more to this, definitely.

You dare mention Wole Soyinka’s name like that, & you think you can become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

A living legend like Wole Soyinka? Sorry for you.
They are the reason why no ibo man will get the presidency in the next 16years. Too toxic to accommodate constructive criticism.
They want to bully everyone not aligning with them. Unfortunately, they don’t have the figures on their side.

So wole Soyinka can longer voice an opinion on a country he almost died for.
It’s quite unfortunate that some Yoruba youths fell for that tribalistic movement called obidient movt. Many of them have started coming back to their senses.
The next 4 years won’t be an easy ride for them in the social media space, as they did to the north. Yorubas won’t fold our arms to see them denigrate our leaders, who are not on their side.
No matter what they say about prof, his past struggles for Nigeria will always place him ahead of any of their leaders, dead or alive.
Long live Professor Oluwole Soyinka.

Please gurus in the house, how much is the typical car insurance in London? The cheapest I've seen was about £700-800, but was told I can't access that since I have both UK provisional and Nigeria's international license (UK provisional trumps the Nigeria's international) and now, the prices are in the range of £1100-1300. Is this the normal price range?

Thanks

*I got the UK provisional license so I can begin the process of getting the UK full license. Seems that is not a good plan based on discussion with the insurance company agent I spoke with.
Can you please share the contact info of insurers that you’ve contacted?
I honestly need a good deal on car insurance.
Education / Re: Adewale Alao posted to Enugu for his NYSC now has a school in Enugu by EJIOGBENIMI(m): 10:11am On Mar 25, 2023
I’m just amazed how people keep twisting the narrative. Can Adewale Alao and his likes call Anambra a no man’s land? Can he vie for the position of governor in the state? And if he gather mind to do that, does he have any right to question the decision of Indigbo elders, which I know is to ensure that nobody votes him. The Abiola guy whose name was used as a case study before the election quickly debunked it and he affirmed to be a complete Ibeku man. He knows the consequences. He know Igbos don’t tolerate outsiders. He said his opponents were trying to use it against him. He simply distanced himself from being Yoruba and won his election.
Chinedu degraded our culture and traditions on live television, called our Royal father many derogatory names and called the Yoruba race Afonja. He even said that he doesn’t reason like a typical Yoruba man.
I blv that Tinubu that brought igbos into Lagos politics has seen the negative side of it. Lesson learnt.
