hehee who no like better thing....... Loads of Nigerians have flocked into BA role . i know a couple of friends that have entered BA/ PM/PMO route

People path are different , some have used Career Insight for training , but that too. I have seen that worked for some people and seen others that did the program and nothing came out of it . meaning what works for A might not work for B. What i can say , what ever program/ training you just clear your schedule and give it your best . Some people have paid nobody and self taught themselves and packaged themselve. lol . you just have to research and find what path works best for you
Interesting...thanks for the insights

I think You are right, you should be eligible to be a citizen as long as your father's citizenship was not through decent.

He should renew his passport then you should do your application. I dont think you need a lawyer just yet. Once all your documents meet specification they wont deny you your right


P.s your dad was just sitting on gold ����

Online reviews slightly favour the Peugeot 2008 over the Renault Captur but they are not really far apart....i guess people with first hand experience are in a better position to make a recommendation...

Aygo is for a single somebody that wants to just started driving in the UK. Not for someone that’s got a family and has been driving for a while.
Really? There are some 5 door decent looking ones online

My E-fam, I need advise biko. Our car is still having the transmission issues despite updating d software and whatnot and we have to fix it ourselves since we dont have extended warranty.

We have decided to sell it once all it's fixed and now trying to research on cars with reliable manufacturers.

It is between Peugeot 2008 or Renaultt captur but more inclined towards the Peugeot. Does anyone have experience with both make or any other suggestion on a car with much legroom than saloon or MPV cars and good capacity for load.

Thank you.
You dont like Honda or Toyota? Alot of people recommended the Toyota aygo then when you guys talked about cars for first timers

You need to start respecting yourself more...get self respect, get self confidence and do not let your happiness be because of someone else.

You have to Love yourself first before you can love someone.

Hello Nairalanders, My girlfriend of two years broke up with me. She broke up with me because of my financial situation right now.

I have been struggling for like 5 months now then she started acting weird and calling me names. The whole thing started when a guy I don't know bought her an iPhone last month. She lied she got it herself which I know is not true. We fought, argued then she went on to block me on WhatsApp.

After begging her for a month she later unblocked me and started posting pictures of different guys with love emoticons. Then she started asking for money everyday. I told her I would give her if I see her in person that I haven't even set my eyes on her for like 2 months.

She has has been avoiding me but asking me for money. Then Started saying She knew I would never gets out of this broke-ness. She told me I am addicted to brokeness that I can never make it in life. The same girl I pay part of her third year school fee, I paid her final year school when their school payment portal was almost closed, I sold my expensive iPhone and some other gadgets for a very shameful price. I once did everything any guy would do for a girlfriend. I used to spoil her with everything when I have money. I've bought her phone twice, Take care of her school bills time to time. Use my things to loan money to send money to her. I did some stupid things just to satisfy this girl.

After everything she told me I did nothing for her that I am addicted to poverty that they told her I'm destined to be poor. She text all sorts of terrible things and insulted my parents that's when I slammed her with some crazy text back (My parents? No No I won't take that shi.t).

This girl I lose my everything just to make her happy. Worst of it is that I am at the most toughest time of my life now. Last week I lose almost a million, I am still healing from that. Her words are affecting me mentally. I adore this girl because she was once a nice and good girl any guy would want to date in fact to be honest, she is the most beautiful girl I've ever meet all my life.

She believes her beauty can get her anything. Please Nairalanders how can I forget this girl and her words totally. Those words are really affecting me mentally, I am losing hope. Please how can I erase everything from my head. I'm frustrated and depressed

Nice reply!

Curious, must it be 6 months statement? Can’t it be 3? Husband had an overdraft in his salary account but he moved some of his savings into the salary now Andria looking great, but 5-6 months ago, it was in the minus. Won’t this affect us when I use his 6 months statement sponsor with the overdraft to sponsor a relative?

Or will the last 3 months from me and him just be enough?
You can use a statement covering a 5 month period, anything shorter will be taking a risk...I believe the statements amongst other things help to show your spending and saving habits. To be able to sponsor a relative you are expected to have decent saving and spending habits.

My advice in this case will be to wait to get a clean account statement of at least 5 months before sponsorship...Also, if you move funds from the salary account to save in another account you should also add a statement of accounts from the savings account to show the movement of funds.

However the key in Visa applications is to be able to explain yourself properly in you cover letter. It is adviced to add a cover letter with subtitles explaining every detail in your application (then on the online application state that you have a more detailed cover letter attached to the supporting documents)

I'm on tier 2 visa and planning to apply for my mum as I'm expecting a child. I want her to come around for support. I've only spent 5 months in UK. I want to fully sponsor the trip.
I intend to submit these documents
*Coverletter that will explain our relationship and that I will fully sponsor the trip
*5 months bank statement (Can I print out the online statement or must it be stamped by the bank?)
*5 months payslip
*Tenancy agreement
*1 month utility bill (I've been staying in a shared apartment)
*Receipts of money sent to her since I came to UK
*Her bank statement (just stipends sent every month by children)
*My BRP and passport data page

Like how much should I have in my account as the closing balance? It's my salary account and I have less than 2k in it. Can I transfer more money into this account, will it raise an eyebrow?
What other documents will I need?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated
The major things the entry clearance officer looks out for are
1. Can you sponsor the trip, that includes her flight ticket to and fro, her accommodation during the period of stay, her upkeep and the duration of stay. The longer she stays, the more money you should have.
2. On her part she must prove that she has strong ties to Nigeria meaning she would return after the trip...strong ties include having a good paying job, landed property, a business and things she would want to get back to. Her finances should also be well explained, usually cash deposits into her account need to be explained especially if the deposits are in large sums of up to 50k at a time...cash deposits from you is kindof a disadvantage as it shows she would be dependent on you during the visit

The process takes about 6 months to 1 year so the earlier he starts the better for you....also he can find help asking his colleagues, there are alot of help groups on WhatsApp for ielts and plab...he should always ask questions so he doesn't have problems especially with his UK Visa

Doctors are appreciated more abroad

Good evening house, my husband is a medical doctor. Please how possible is it for him to get a job over there if he applies from Nigeria. Thanks. Please I need reply from experienced people and how he can go about it because things are not moving so smoothly for us at the moment
Well he has to write and pass the following in nigeria

Ukvi Ielts

Plab 1

Then pay for the plab 2 exam,apply and get a uk Visa and then go to Manchester or London to write it

Alot of people factor in 4-6weeks to spend in an academy in the UK to prepare for the plab 2 exam

After passing the plab 2 exam that's when you can start applying for jobs....when you get a job you can now apply for a tier 2 visa and plan to relocate

And such absence must even be explained for the Tier 2 main applicant when applying for ILR by obtaining leave approval letter from your bosses before changing jobs advisably. Too much wahala....
So many rules
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by EngrSaks(m): 9:44pm On Jan 10, 2019
fatima04:
I will advise apply now for all the family members and let them come within 3months after the main applicant moves.

If you apply separately, it sort of complicates the ILR application because when main applicant is due for ILR the dependant wont be and then he or she with (the kids) if any needs to change the class of Visa by exiting the UK to apply for another category of visa.... That Is my understanding
That will be bad o...best to apply for everyone then. Thanks
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by EngrSaks(m): 9:42pm On Jan 10, 2019
Ralphlauren:
YES IT WILL.

one of the requirement for ILR is not staying outside the UK for 180 days within a 12 months period.

I understand that the absence requirement was recently removed but it only applications to folks who got their visas before January 2017 or 2018 (I cant remember - Google it)
Ok, thanks for the info

If you can afford coming with the whole family, why not? But if you can't, let the main applicant come first after which others can join later.
Health surcharge will be paid for the number of years of visa applied for per applicant. If it's a 3 year visa, the main applicant will pay £400*3=£1200. Each dependant will also pay the same amount
Oh wow......thanks for the info

What about applying for ILR ? Will the different entry time put the others at a disadvantage?
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by EngrSaks(m): 11:57am On Jan 10, 2019
Greetings everyone I have a question,

Please which is the best option? going now with all the family members or the main tier 2 Visa holder going first then bringing in the family later? Will this in any way affect the application of ILR later?

Also is the health charge to be paid for just one year?

Thanks

i verified with my Nigerian address before all the scam, it was quite straight forward
