This is the assumption that Lagos state use to bully people building in Lagos State. When I had to get planning approval last year in Lagos, I was billed 1.5m after presenting my 3 year tax clearance from FCT. I was told to write to the chairman of LIRS but I know it will be a long route. I contacted someone close to the governor who got in touch with chair of LIRS. Of course they changed the assessment and agreed that my FCT tax clearance was sufficient. This shouldn't have to be, what of if i don't know any one I would have been double taxed. Mind you my monthly tax before i voluntarily retired last year December is enough to pay a senior civil servant monthly. Now they still do 5% withholding tax on all my consultancy fees and I am expected to file to pay more by year end on other sources of income.

Those who pay tax in this country are often over taxed. You pay PAYE, land use charges, VAT on every purchase, all sorts of levies by LGA people, pay tax on even on interest from savings you have in your account. Efforts should be to expand the tax dragnet and not over taxed the few that pay tax
Thank you very much sir.I often tell people we Nigerians in Nigeria pay more tax than us in the US and UK

Hi all, I think I need a bit of encouragement. I moved to the UK on a student visa in December. Before relocating, I was doing quite well back home. Earned around 2-3m monthly profit after expenses from my business. In fact, I wanted to reward myself with a Range Rover Evoque (about 13m) then but Nigeria was in a bad state and I used up my savings to fund my relocation. I landed with high hopes, about £4000 in cash. The reason for my earlier statements is not to brag, but to show you that I was doing well, and I just felt coming here would be saner. I loved it here whenever I travel for vacation, so I was without doubt that life here would be easier.

To my main aim of writing, I think I am depressed. I could not find a job in my first 3 months here. The only job available that most students were doing was care, and I wasnt vaccinated, so I could not start. I eventually started in March and the job gives me a mental breakdown each time. I am on my feet for 11 hours, and get sent around by staff who feel they are better than agency workers, I get hit by residents, I have been racially abused several times ,I did it for 2 months and I had to quit.

I have looked for warehouse jobs, not been lucky. Even customer care work, they reject because of my visa status. I am fast losing it, there is so much my brain can take as a woman. Does anyone know how else I can get a job, I stay in Bradford, so anything around Leeds is fine. I can even work in Manchester if the pay is okay. Please help.
wow I feel your pain.visiting and living in the Uk are two different things.I wish U came on here to seek advice B4 you moved here.I would have asked you to stay pit cos someone like me have been planning to relocate back to Nigeria.moving back bit by bit over 5 years now so as not to get it wrong.Well you are here now.U can go into the security industry.U will have to do loads of training to get you something else.as a woman the odds might be against U however there are ways round it that cannot be said on open platform PM that guy see what he says.if you have a friend who lives in the EU legal with papers and its a female your problem is half solved.can U drive?do U ha e full licence?

Guys please help....

Please I need pointers on splitting utility bills.

We got a 5 bedroom student accommodation and the bills Uniacco is quoting is high....£23 per person per week.

We have decided to do it ourselves at least for the first 2 months and see if it's cheaper. If not, we'll go ahead and use Uniacco.

My questions are...

1) How do we go about splitting the bills..electric bills really cos some would have extra appliances like TV, Fridge in their rooms while others won't.

2) If after 2 months of doing it ourselves, it turns out that we're paying higher or same and want to go back to Uniacco, can we do that easily?

3) What energy providers are best to work with for cheaper rate?

4) Per adventure, we decide not to do it ourselves, are there other companies like Uniacco that offer cheaper rates?

Thanks alot for all your inputs

Please gurus in the house and students who have faced this should please helpppp
I see you are thinking the Nigerian style here where its down to points, it wont work trust me,You got to do it per head, the Joy of living in shared accomodation eh

With ALL humility, oga Justwise EVERYTHING Erico said about SIA here is untrue in 2022 Britain. The only semblance of truth is the bit where is says to do the work, you must have right to work however, he invalidated that little truth by saying the right to work takes more than 5 years. Surely that isn't accurate, is it?
Well don't you agree that this SIA licence issuance under 6 months is only attainable if you came to the UK with the right to work already?
Can one have the right to work within 6 months in the Uk if not already gotten before entering the UK?Plz read between the lines and see where I am coming from

The bolded is either incorrect or outdated information
You can get your SIA badge even if you’re under 6 months in the UK.



Criminal record
You need to pass our criminal record checks.

If you live outside the UK, or you have spent 6 continuous months or more outside the UK in the last 5 years, you need to provide evidence of overseas criminal record checks.
Plz have a reread of what you posted again mayB I'm the one not comprehending right, the minimum requirement is 5 years and if within that 5 years there is any gap up to 6 months you must provide proof, I don't thin this means you can get it within 6 months of arriving in the UK fresh!
PS I think I have to re read and adjust all what I post so as not to come across rude as I have been told on here which by the way is not a true reflection of my post, all I post is for information purpose only.

Bros, Your ‘problem’ is that you have been in the UK for too long (according to your previous post). Un(fortunately), there are people coming n this forum who have been here longer than you.

Secondly, some may be too ‘polite’ to tell you, but I will say it as it is: Your responses to people on this thread is outrightly rude. You have a very rude way of responding to people. That is unbecoming of a Band 8c professional. I think you need to introspect.

You may have been In the UK since 2000, but you don’t know everything and anything. Even Google doesn’t know everything.

I have tried to tolerate your rudeness (to others). And now you are responding very rudely to me.

I repeat, you may know a lot, but you don’t know everything. Humble yourself, come off your high horse, and learn.

Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
Me ( and a lot of others on this thread that you have been rude to).
I'm struggling to understand how I was rude in my statement upstairs, I only just made a statement of fact that all them roles you mentioned do not need police report from Nigeria simply put and that all that was misinformation and someone might just waste their time and money applying for one in them roles you quoted and you recon I was rude Oh plzzzz

The minimum requirement for met police/police Scotland is indefinite leave to remain. Not necessarily British passport.

You’re probably working with outdated information.

You need to keep up with recent developments.
Erm remind us again Plz I made mention of loads of roles in my reply
so in all you agree the rest was right but the Policing bet was wrong, I have checked that bit and its true this had been reviewed after brexit I think. But for the rest I recon I was right,My point in all this is simple, for one to get the right to apply for all them roles in England they might have lived here up to 3 or 5 years so there would be no need for police report from Nigeria if that makes any sense!

Fews weeks ago, my pikin at school received alert, all the money in his account had been wiped out! As he was a lamenting, 2 other students entered his room shouting that their accounts has been cleared too!
3 different banks, but the common factor is that all the transactions were done at "Apple store". Ie online, possibly to buy gift cards, itune etc.
We blocked his account. One of the other students went to the bank to complain, his mother meanwhile sent him small money to hold body. As he got to the bank to complain, the bank asked him if he had done a new withdrawal, he said now. Haba! The crooks had taken the small kudi the mother sent again!
How do these fraudsters know when a deposit is made into the account that they are able to take it out before the owner?
Anyway, the only way they got my son's account is possibly one of their hall mates took pictures of the front and back of their cards, sent it to his person to carry out the fraud.
Guys if possible, scratch out one 2 or 3 numbers from you atm card, or at worse use tape to mask your numbers.

Like MI-5. Like Teaching. It was a requirement for the SIA badge. Like Airport Baggage Handler and a lot of current airport vacancies. Like some probation service jobs. Like some Prison Officer jobs. Like Met Police jobs.

Do you want more examples?
you either don't know what you are talking about or just imagining things.
Mi5 you have to be a British. so if you are a commonwealth citizen you would have at least 10 years in the Uk already B4 Being British
SIA badges requires you to have 3 years in the Uk and b4 one has right to do security job and your vetting for security officer is 3 years that for door man is 5 years and for you to do these jobs you must have the rights to work which takes more than 5 years so where is the need for 9ja vetting?
Airport jobs same thing go your vetting periods are 3 to 5 years which you would have spent in the Ul already
Probation service this one off me, you cannot be a probation officer without having a 1st degree in probation service once again we know how long that takes in the Uni
Met police like UKBA is a reserved job for British citizens .

Hello everyone!

Please I have interest in doing a life insurance policy for personal reasons.

I read somewhere yesterday where someone said one can do life insurance, hand the insurance over to a trust to invest like in real estate or something like that and that can create generational income.

Has anyone life insurance policy here in the UK?

If yes, what companies did you use? (I have interest in Aviva but I don't know if there are better options.

Finally, is the idea of handing the life insurance over to a trust a wise one?

Cheers to you all.
