This is very stupid, there is no place in law that supports these accusation made by the police, the case will be thrown out of court if it gets there. Silly bunch of people

You know you can respond to a statement without being insulting or aggressive?
Neways, I'm not going to bother arguing with you. All I can tell you is that your pay bracket is showing....
When you start earning £20k and above p.a, do well to come back and let us know if your employer did not tax you on your earnings above £12,570.
you are speaking to some who came to uni in the uk 2000,and a band 8 staff, my tax deduction is more than £20k a year you are here talking "£20k as salary plzz tell m,e this is a joke ,you lot got a lot to learn

Good evening famz!!
Please, I would love you guys to put me through how I can get a job in the UK. I am a graduate of biochemistry with a research lab work experience of few months which I doubt will be relevant in searching for a job in the UK. Please, I just need a job so as to be able to gather money to do some courses to upgrade my Nigeria certificate. Thanks in anticipation for your prompt response.

Note, I am on a dependent visa which runs from now till 2025
Your quickest route is to delve into Health care. or if you are handy get into construction and gather money

Everybody gets taxed. That is why UK residents are notorious for not parting with money.
If you are earning £20k per annum, £12570 (if it has not changed) is tax free, the remaining £7k+ is taxed at 20%. If you are earning £51k, £12,570 is tax free, £12,571 to £50,001 (not too sure on the exact amount) is 20%, 50,001 to 51k is 40%.
Tax rate is different based on income bracket.
Go to HMRC website to check it
Another Ignorant post or rather you cant read, have you ever seen anyone taxed 20% who is not in BR?? have you
One one hand you are saying everyone get taxed on another hand you said those who earn £12570 gets tax free was this not the discussion we have that some people might be tax free the whole year, ie those who do less hours ie global hours and their gross is £12k.
And this 20% tax where are you getting it from? I tried to xplain in my last post I hope she got it that every individual are taxed in different brackets according to their tax code however you fail to explore that route. Have you lived nd worked in the UK b4 huh
on the note we pay more tax, i can confidently tell you people in Nigeria PAY MORE TAX THAN US IN THE UK, if you think otherwise, i challenge you to name two type of taxes we pay in the UK

This is not so. Everyone that is working in UK from the beginning of tax year April is taxed as soon as they enter , but if they come after the tax year has started, they may be tax free till the next tax year. After the tax year, you are refunded all if you earned below 12530, but all earnings above that threshold is taxed 20%.
Who on earth in employment gets taxed at 20% if not on BR??You have not said anything diff from the word NO TAX. or TAX FREE
Your tax rate might be different from others so there is no one yard stick to measure what ones take home is relative to next door.
Your tax depends on your Age Marital status, wages, these are used to derive your tax code and 20%.
20% are for those with no tax code or those who failed to submit their P45 to new employer

While listening to Bola Tinubu's acceptance speech after he won the APC Primary election, some things struck others, some things struck me and the Calabar seaport is one of the things that struck me. I am shocked a lot of people did not pick anything from it as this is not the first time he would speak about it.

When He visited Calabar on June 1, he mentioned it. I know the candidates have not released their manifestoes but from their speeches, we light to note where exactly they are tilting and fixing the sea port there is key to opening the South South and South East and enhance the Nigerian Economy

I will be here to answer any question on the subject matter. Attached are mails from Chicago state university confirming that Tinubu actually attended the school.

If you want further information, just visit the university’s website: www.csu.edu and request for information about Bola Ahmed Tinubu, they will respond to you vide email. Again, this is for those who genuinely seek the truth.

You are very correct on this one. But from my experience using Freezetone, there is no 50/50 mix of the coolant. It is 100% usage.
Now you are talking about the quality of antifreeze I get.Use the wrong one you kill the cooling system.even ur thermostat might get clogged.

He is accused of arranging for a child to be brought to the UK to have their organs removed against their will.

Beatrice Ekweremadu, a district senator and lawyer, is charged with conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of another person with a view to exploitation.

The 55-year-old is being held in custody and is due to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court later today.

Ike Ekweremadu, 60, of Nigeria, has also been charged with the same offence.
The child – whose age in unknown – has been taken into care.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said the investigation was launched after detectives looked into potential offences under modern slavery legislation in May 2022.

They said: ‘A child has been safeguarded and we are working closely with partners on continued support.

‘As criminal proceedings are now under way we will not be providing further details.’

Hmmm, that is riskier. Besides the fuel and the oil, the other culprit is the radiator coolant. A lot of us use anti freeze which is very wrong. We don't have any freezing temperature here in the country and so we tend to copy things that are not relevant to the car. I have driven under -2 © years ago and I know the effect of the anti freeze. It prevents the radiator to freeze but here, we wake up with 25 degrees in the morning. Oil is also a coolant dispersing heat away from the engine and good oil is needed. The Euro 6 standard for fuel is not available here and so we manage what we find. The use of low octane fuel is a sure bet to destroy the engine.
Bro wrong assumption, I can tell you more about this stuff as I happen to be a fluid Engineer, Anti freeze works in a way that it prevent the rapid change of temperature of the fluid it is mixed with in this case WATER, On one end of the spectrum, antifreeze lowers the freezing point of water in the coolant mixture, and as such preventing it from freezing inside the radiator, the water pump and hoses. On the other hand, it raises the boiling point of the water in the coolant mix(water), giving it greater cooling capacity. SO in general it slows the process of either heating up or freezing. In the west we suffer from freezing the general name given was antifreeze. Modern day antifreeze now contains elements of antirust a minimal quantity of some sort of lub and wear proof to prevent delicate parts of rubb er and plastic components,

you will kill your car if you do that well, depends on what you are servicing, and I hope it dnt include oil change and any other fluid change

Well like I said earlier that's the reason why you complain of these cars being expensive to maintain...!

- brake disc, how do you do you know its not warped?? Worn, resurfaced ??
- brake pads, the silly claim that they are better than new is appalling
- radiator of all things u replace with a used unit?? Why because a gummed up radiator is better than a new unit??

If you talked about modules and body parts I wouldn't have even batted an eyelid...

Imagine going to buy a
- used toothbrush
- used socks
- used underwear
- used handkerchief

There was an advert that ran about 3 years ago in the UK around Christmas time. It featured an elderly man sitting alone on a roadside bench, watching people strolling along the street: children playing tag, a young husband and wife with their kids, a pair of lovers, teenagers kidding around and laughing. Then the camera did a close-up of the old man's face and a tear came out of his eye and ran down his face. It was heartbreaking. The advert was from a charity, I forget the name, and they were calling for volunteers to keep old people company: read to them, have tea or just spend an hour chatting with them. I felt so depressed. The UK flu season usually witnesses a lot of death from old people who live by themselves. Abroad, whether US or UK, is a cold lonely place if you're alone. The US is better. Americans are nosy and friendly. British people, you fit de die next door, dem go just enter their house close door.
The narrative of what you wrote there portrays a system and a government that cares for its older generation and a society that is willing to do something about it,
We have Old people in Nigeria and Africa, do we as Africans recognise the needs of these Old people? do we do anything about their needs? how many times in our streets in Nigeria has anyone volunteered took a day out from their Biz to take an Older person for an Eye check and paid for it or for health check and paid for it?

Truth be told nobody cares for anybody there ..once children reach poverty off they go to fight for their destiny...when You are old,they take you to old people's home which can be boring and not the best for an average African person. At home you have your family around around you . In fact you are at peace here than there ...we must however ask God to wipe out these Fulani killer squard who are presently making the nation uncomfortable..
so if you come to Nigeria where you do not have family what happens?

Its good to see a different side to Life, I dread returning to Nigeria, we are fortunate to see another reality. I am grateful for that.

I think some African countries are much better than Nigeria, at least one has peace of mind and some kind of order.
Bross nowhere in Africa has peace of mind,No govt in Africa can guarantee that however its up to you to have your own peace of mind! even in the USA and Uk there is still not 100% peace of mind
