Plese how many bags of cement will be enough for flooring a 3 bedroom flat with total floor area of 97sqm? And what reasonable price should a bricklayer charge for this?
I think its better to ask for the size of the area that needs flooring in square metres and give the result here for clear quantification. cos no one here knows how big your room and living spaces are.

Hi Everyone, some serious advice needed here.

A friend of mine on the 5 year path to ILR(skilled worker visa) is not getting her contract renewed.
1. How long can she remain legal in the country after her current visa expires while she searches for a job?

2. How long can she be on this break from a Tier 2 visa before the 5 year clock to ILR resets.

I ve had a read through the guidance (very arcane) and wondered whether my reading of it was correct.

Thanks Everyone for having a read of my question


From my reading, the answer to both questions is 2 weeks.

SInce they are already in the UK the best thing is to book a date with an Immigration Expert lawyer and they can give him/her the best Advice and all options available. It might cost a token say 100 quid but its worth it.They should not play with it as everyone seems to be an expert these days even those wey never enter airport B4.

If her name is not on the document then I don't see how this is possible.

Billionaire Bill Gates' recent hot dog purchase from a street vendor has made headlines, not just for his humility, but also for highlighting societal differences.

In the West, individuals from all walks of life can move freely and engage with others without fear.

In stark contrast, Nigeria grapples with insecurity and social divisions. Prominent figures, including politicians, require heavy security, restricting their interaction with ordinary citizens.

Nigeria's insecurity, fueled by kidnapping, banditry, and terrorism, has created a culture of fear. Politicians, often seen as disconnected from the people, prioritize personal safety over public engagement.

Emulating Gates' humility seems unlikely for many Nigerian politicians, who: Prioritize personal interests over public needs.

Once there's security of lives and property in Nigeria. Everything will go smoothly.
Only then can Nigeria move closer to a society where everyone, regardless of status, can walk freely and enjoy simple pleasures like a hot dog from a street vendor here in Nigeria.
This post is for those castigating Japarians,Can any rich man of his catigory do this in Nigeria withno security

Always saying it as it is sir. I can tell you for free that not a few of the contractors has contacted me when I comment on such issues to tell their own side of the story to dissuade further or influence my understanding and comment on the issue. Some veiled warning.
I can only imagine what some others may experience.
It just annoys me some take the easy opportunities here for granted. The information the op posted is out, the accused can clear himself and the members would form their opinion from the outcome.
I hope adedward would sort it out with the client. We aren't in the same line of business and I don't wish you or anyone bad. I'm not even judging but series of complains create doubt and affects business for all and if that affects me, I would take it personal.
Well done and thank you for your post, Years ago I took up a DIY mechanism to have my house built and went fru it all, There are too many variables to fail in order to give price xtimates but in the building profession there are still constants, ie description of goods and services' just hope there are logical xplanations to the shortcomings in Adedward's responce.

So how do you explain my gearbox of 22 pin, same with the Venza?
Gearbox are irrelevant cos it has a torque converter that reduces or increases toque produces and diverged to the chassis via gears and shaft.

I would have bought the catalyst long ago, but some mechanic I have net told me that it doesn't matter on fuel consumption, while some said that it does matters.

Another reason I'm scared is that I don't know how it looks like, I really wish to get the original, but the mechanic and seller must surely combine to cheat me, that's my other fear. If not, I'll ready to get and fix it today.

The scanner man could not correct the error, he said that we have to change something, I have forgotten the name, he said it's 80-100k to change it.
Go on line, check for the fuse the controls those things you mentioned and check if they are blown or not or just change the fuse and watch what happens

My Camry Muscle 2011 has a Venza engine too, 4 plugs. I don’t even understand all this calculations about 2.0l and 1.85l.

All I know is once if I place a full tank, it takes me to work for 10 days. I move to and fro Surulere and VI. Sometimes traffic could be terrible. And only last for 7 days. All thanks to T-pain that is the only time I drive.
you seee that 1.8 ltre and 2 ltr etc, thats the real Deal in buying car,If you don't understand it then you do not understand why one car is costlier than the other, you should pay special attention to the engine capacity of you car, as it stand now, your salon should be 2ltr max and suv less than 4ltr

Good morning Nairalands

After my never ending fuel gulping battle with my Toyota Camry, I later ended up buying a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

I went with my mechanic to a car stand to get it, when we got there we saw different kinds/types of corolla. My mechanic told me some are 1.8l engine while others are 2.0l and a lot of the corolla uses venza engine.

I wanted to buy any of the corolla of 1.8L engine but my mechanic told me that they're old model, that I should get a recent corolla with Venza engine, but I refused when I heard the word "venza engine"

I told my mechanic that over my dead body will I jump from frying pan to fire, from Camry to Venza. I said so because since the corolla is using Venza engine, it'd surely gulp up fuel like Venza, which would be a lot worst than a camry.

But my mechanic assured me that what I said is very false, that it won't. That a corolla is a corolla and corollas doesn't eat fuel.

His words really calmed me down and I bought the 2012 corolla.

So I bought 8k fuel to test the fuel usage and see how long it'd last, I know I should have bought more, but I needed to get a faster result.

Well, it turns out that my mechanic tricked me and I'm in so much pains right now, my 8k fuel only went for 31km before the fuel got exhausted, I later realized that I was very much right and shouldn't have listened to my mechanic that a corolla is a corolla, venza engine or small 1.8L engine.

From my observation, it seems the 2012 corolla is gulping up fuel like a venza. Yesterday, I took it to a mechanic and asked them to fix anything that'd make the car to gulp up fuel, they changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, I will be testing it today with another 8k fuel, I pray and I hope that it won't be as bad as it was yesterday, because I'm so depressed right now, after what my camry did to me which made me went for a corolla, now I'm having same issue with my corolla. I'm really so down right now.
YOu took a thief or a roadside mechanic to buy a car,.You sir need to do a bit of reading about the car you drive to get 1st hand information about the car so you can make an informed decision .These days of the internet should have cleared these type of mistake.
Cars consume fuel according to their engine displacement irrespective of the brand, I struggle to understand how A corolla bearing a 2.0L engine is fuel efficient than a VW gulf with a 1.6L Engine. just cos its a toyota.

The quality of life a N5000,000/month can give you in Nigeria is incomparable to what a measly £30,000/year nursing starting salary can give in the UK. A family in which one earner earns that much in Nigeria can build and/or rent a mansion. A nurse starting salary would struggle to rent a decent flat, let alone qualify for a mortgage. If we even factor in future salary increment in the UK to justify our reasoning, we should also then consider that she would also get an increment in the 5M salary in Nigeria at some point. IF the future of the children is the reason for the move, a few months of savings can allow her sponsor the kids to study in the UK until they can function independently.

If I were in her shoes, I will take the Nigeria job offer. Work and save aggressively for a few years. Visit the UK and spend time understanding the way the system works here for nurses. Do some research into America as well. If I earned that much in Nigeria before I came to the UK in 2009, I wouldn't have made the decision to come.
Plz care to mention the so called quality of life the N5m will give you over the £30K plus starting Salary in the UK ?Just mention only 5.

Which oil company is paying a nurse 5 million in Nigeria?
Is it a contract job? Una dey make person laugh for here
It’s like most people don’t understand what is going on in oil companies in Nigeria.
What’s the role of a nurse in an oil company
They don’t even pay subsea engineers, installation engineers up to 5 million lol

Madam nurse will you be going offshore? Or your company has a hospital? It’s very unlikely as most oil companies put their staff on HMO

Maybe she won’t be working as a nurse sha

And neither do you.
But what is clear is that the only person that has a definitive job when they land is her. She'll be on that entry level for at least two years. Her husband will need to bridge that gap for childcare cos those kids are young since .
To do this UK move he needs to be prepared to do what he probably has not been primarily responsible for in Nigeria.
I dont know if you have lived in the Uk b4 but I must say this, No nurse take home their basic pay. Anyone in employment who has the ability to do overtime does it, sometimes you earn more in overtime than your actual salary. Some nurses earn up to £30/hr on overtime so they can do a day overtime each week will be surprised some persons earn £30K more in overtime on top their actual annual salary. All those people building houses and buying cars this is how they make their money. There are lots of dealing you guys are not privy to.

She a nurse. There have always been opportunities for nursing abroad. Consistently high demand .
Even if she moves to as a student or studies public health. Permanent residence for healthcare professionals is typically much easier for them.

Their kids are 5&7 years that's already school drop off and pick up ..they can't take bus. One parent must be home for that.

She knows her husband if she thinks he can do the heavy lifting since she the only one with a confirmed job. The shocks may not be pretty.
Going abroad is not all about the Pay, it brings much more than pay. For kids, its easy for them to start early in the morning, there are breakfast clubs in schools, and after school they can stay up to 6Pm in some school with further activities that even includes diner. I did that with my own kids when they were that age.

Please and please. Stay away from giving advice to the woman if you do not belong to the following group:

1. You are a nurse in uk and have stayed up to 2 years

2. You have been in the UK for more than 5 years

3. You just moved to UK or your spouse is in Uzk but you were/are earning close to 40m per annum in naija.

Please do not misinform her because it is a life decision. If you have not seen money before, you might think 5 million naira is something but you ve forgotten that there are some hidden cost that come with earning 5m monthly.
