Please house, say at the start of a month, a bank offers overdraft, can I take it and then pay it all back at the end of the month? Do I have to be paying interest everyday or everything will be at month end? Please how does it work?
Call the bank that gave you this offer.

If I was offered a OD by my bank and don’t understand, I would Speak to the bank directly, asking for proper breakdown of the OD.

You would get the proper response and get further information.

Bro, I see Lexusgs430 as a guy who doesn't carry the whole world on his chest, probably why he douses tensions with his jokes. Sometimes, the jokes are dry sef undecided cool. But to be candid we need people like him in our virtual spaces just like we all have people like that around us that would make us laugh while crying. So relax, sir.

His opinions are most times not entirely bad. Rent money is a dead money is what I used to convince my madam about getting a mortgage here. We calculated the rent paid in our 3 years here and we found out we were paying someone's mortgage. While I agree with you this may be difficult for new comers however it should be some sort of motivation for them.

Oga Lexus, thanks for all you do here. Please show more empathy when people share their issues. Let there be empathy In-between the jokes, sir. Same thing with aunty Zahra29 Suella grin grin

It's horrible typing on palasa phone. Dash me your phone oga Lexus
motivation for them to run faster than Dey can?

Someone came in recently and got a 60k+ job. Then next thing, profiling don start.

Ignoring the fact that, that’s an outlier.

How many people also get “16 years of professional experience?”

Even the one wey don Dey here since the days of mmetuselah no even see that kind money, not to talk of someone who just came in.

Finally, whatever stage you are in the relocation phase, enjoy every moment, grow through it and keep seeking for better welfare for yourself as much as you want.

And Mr. Knowknow, try Dey rest. Everybody go enjoy the benefits of this land in due time. If anyone needs info and tries to get it here, pass it and chill.

Completely agree with this and similar comments by others.

I remember when I joined the thread and Lexus was exposed as the secret angel who had helped some people on the forum.
He regularly answers questions and proffers advice. Maybe it's the feeling that his advice comes from a place of comfort that irks some? Though they forget that he's gone through his own struggles in the past.
I documented my journey on Nairaland. Baba and e asslicker flood my thread claiming “owners and guiders of the uk”

That’s when I even discovered himself and his “**sl*cks.

That's what happen when you don't pay your tithe.

The best financial decisions I've made here was from what that guy said. Out of experiences,he dropped statements and anytime I am online, I will pick them. That is part of street smartness. We get the education free here and yet we are complaining. That's the education you will never get in school.
Na you wey lazy normally. So, you travel from one continent to another just to get info from Lexus of how to go about life Abi? If that’s the case, then you need growing up. Information is littered all over the internet for anything you need to know. Na Una just Dey rate 1 star

I understand that Lexusgs430 finds humour in everything and some people might not like that understandable. But there is no evidence to accuse him this way. I’ve been following this thread since 2022 and he has been providing lots of advice and information, things more experienced UK people won’t even bother with.

His advice with getting life insurance is one I took and I’m happy I did because I’m almost in a bleak medical situation now.
make just wise undelete all his comments on my threads and my quotes.

The rent is dead money stance is meant to encourage people to channel their efforts into getting a mortgage as you can build up equity whilst paying back the loan. Damn! so many snowflakes these days.
So, you mean a Nigerian would come here, have the ability get mortgage, then continue paying rent?

How did you come to the conclusion that his usual comment regarding "rent money as dead money" is pushing some people to see themselves as failures? Evidence on the property forum says otherwise.
Na toddler suppose Dey reason that statement.

Like I said then, come in, pay your rents , enjoy what you pay for. When time is right, you’d effortlessly get your mortgage.

“Rent money is dead money”

At least three (3) people here have now shared their very thoughts on Lexusgs430's conducts and I am glad one is a naturalized British citizen (person wey see road well.)

I first came across this Lexusgs430 moniker on a Car thread years ago, had some respect for him but he's a totally different entity in this UK living thread. It's as though he wants to continually bully people and show off his citizenship... While many might keep quiet, jump and pass, I am not like that. I'll say it to his face, that's how I was made. Lexusgs430 moniker deserved to be seen for who he is.

He's also the one who called rent money dead money, almost pushing some people to see themselves as failures because they paying rent. I'm glad he shot himself in the foot and confessed he enjoyed student loans, public funds etc in his early days... Much like a grown cock preventing cockerels from growing. I like the response somebody gave on this thread last year saying something like "nobody can stop new immigrants from entering UK, the oldies should get used to it."

I am not tracking lexusgs430 or have any personal interest in him, but just as he has a right to say whatever, I have a right to challenge whatever. I'm not even asking him to stop, but he should be seen for who he is. He claims he helped people out of depression?? Is that not funny?? It's not only Lexus, the other ones who act as though they sat down with home office to draft the immigration policies too know themselves.

This thread is meant to encourage people, not discourage people and push them to depression! Come off it.
Person wey Dey form agba knower, senior stayer and longest living Nigerian in the uk. Neighbour dash am two bicycle, e no fit dash one here. And he comes to flaunt million credit cards and infinite credit score, quick to “I don almost pay my mortgage” like say e concern my grand papa.

Baba, you no get rating.

Apart from advise (which is even available and open on the net), nothing else you get to offer anybody here.

Everyone who comes here, in due time, would get everything that’s obtainable.

I have some money aside to pay my house rent plus bills for 3 or more months.
The real question I think I have is if the business can comfortably generate enough profit to continue to pay my house rent and shop rent plus bills which would be a little over 2k monthly. More like I want to know the profitability in such a business or if I should do another kind of business.
For me, and from my experience. If I have 20k to start a business, I would only start with 2k. Meaning, for me to want to start a business with 20, I should have at least 80/120k.

You can explore the business with 1k or 2k. For me, I wouldn’t rent a shop yet. I’ll explore other means to sell ( get a social media presence), register the business, setup an online image and presence.

You have identified your market, go for them from local marketing and the basics.

Explore the little ways you can, to start the business with just 10% of your 20+.

Then progress from there.

To the seniors in the house, please I need tips and help in this Youkay job market.

I've been applying for jobs basically in the finance field both in the private and public sector but I haven't gotten any invite for interview. It's been over six months and no single interview. In fact the only interviews have gotten are jobs related to care.

I have changed tactics severally, and it seems no positive. I have ensured there is no gap in my employment history, I have matched the job requirement to align with my CV, send cover letters, apply directly from company's website but no call for interview. I have over six years experience in finance and accounting, qualified and in managerial position but even if I apply for lower rated finance role, still no call. It's frustrating the hell out of me.

Gurus in the corporate sector here, pls assist and advise. Is there something I'm not doing right?

I agree with Lexusgs430. It is inconceivable that the sponsors did not know that the exchange rate will be unstable. The sponsor can transfer her to one of the private universities in Nigeria to finish her education since exchange range disparity is the issue.
