Sweetheart. Nothing annoys me more than someone’s who’s been lucky not understanding others pains OR making it look like others aren’t hardworking/lucky enough. I’m one of the most privileged and lucky Nigerians in the Uk, worked just 4 years here and on 140k all before 30 but I never act like others aren’t working hard enough or lucky enough or feel their pain. I’m the exception, not the rule.

Because I exist doesn’t meant others don’t. Because you can’t relate doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be empathetic/sympathetic neither does it allow you to discount the pain is the majority.

And for someone that steadily recruits my profession, 80% of corporate companies don’t sponsor due to fear or lack of understanding of the regulations. So unless someone is applying to the big 4 or top IT, NHS or govt.. there’s likely no sponsorship.

Ok.

Congrats on your 3 offers.

AgentXxx:
You should help by stating your field as this matters a lot. Health and IT specialist are hardly found complaining of sponsorship scarcity.

Are you the student or the dependent??

Ah I’m present oo! Sorry been flirting with the Canada thread because I wan leave una, run comot from this country.

Loads of things are wrong with the system that me I can’t shout about because if naija was ok, I won’t be here in the first place!!

My recent annoyance (ignoring the cost of living) is that it seems PSV is a scam. Most companies aren’t a recruiting graduates on PSV simply cos they may need sponsorship eventually.. but how come care homes are giving sponsorship like pure water??

So experienced people that ran from naija due to end SARS/buhari will come here and their only career for the next 5 years will be care? Haba! (PS nothing wrong with working in care but some of us did it as students not a career path. I’m offended they are stealing peoples potential!)

I love you all, but UK problem, ike a gwosiri’m -sorry igbo isn’t my first language- (it sha means my power have finish).

Long time my ogas,

we went for schegen visa interview for second time, travelling is sweet , these people made sure they siphoned 50gbp each from my spouse and I, in short my cousin too, always looking for flimsy excuses to make you pay for premium lounge, so one missing document or single printing you will pay 50GBP.

I say make I talk am down, so it won't catch anyone unaware

AKALAMAGBO:
It doesn’t have to be flight if you are not ready to pay. Book train, they accept train booking as well.

heroshark:
Please for those that have attended schengen visa appointment, how did you go about getting flight itinerary? I have an appointment on Friday and still struggling to get one.

Do you know any airline that make reservations without payment?

Lolli2pop:
Hi guys please important question.. a friend of mine got married in 2019 but she kept using her maiden name because she was too lazy to apply for a new nigerian passport that would reflect her husband’s name. Now she is about to finally apply for a change of name on her pass post since her passport is about to expire.

She has a uk brp in her maiden name.. can she continue to use this brp even after she gets a new passport in her husband’s name. If she can’t, can she apply for update of info on her existing brp card before her new passport arrives or does she have to wait?

Her biggest concern was if her new passport comes with her husband name nd she continues using the brp card in her name, when she travels outside the uk how would she prove to the border control that its the same person for both docs. Could this cause an issue? Has anyone been through similar experience?

dupyshoo:
I agree that getting citizenship at birth is a bargain. However, the probability of getting the citizenship by birth is very low as you have to be in Canada already. To even get visitors visa in Canada, you have to wait for over a year as at the last time I checked. So how will you enter? Maybe through studies, which is not a walk in the park or through PR, which is also not easy and takes a lot of time and commitment. This means a lot of Nigerians will not even be able to get into Canada.

Instead of being ungrateful, let us try to make UK work for us. I have spoken to a lot of newcomers in the UK on how they can make the best of their stay here and develop themselves All what they want is to get a care job COS. Care job can most times be very hard and depressing. 5 years of your life doing care job!!! Delayed gratification can sometimes be better than quick wins.

This was really helpful. Thank you.

Thanks @ the naija PCC.

Is DBS same as UK PCC? I ask because I think they differ based on usage. DBS is internal but a PCC is for emigration.

The licensing body is specifically requesting for a Police criminal records certificate.

What do you think sir?

LeoDeKing:
I disagree with this report.

Last time I checked, SE plays host to the highest number of billionaires in the world.

Based on ipob bureau of statistics, the SE has 970 billionaires per square centimetre.

Your passport remains valid till you get the new one then you give immigration the old one to cancel it.

Pls for a student whose dependent gets a tier 2 sponsorship just 3 months into the program and of which he definitely switch with the dependant. Can the student work full time now with the new tier 2 dependant visa?. Hope no issue for the student during ILR, pls anyone who has experience this, kindly share experience.

Phayie:


If you earn 18k with 19hrs, then why do you need to work extra hour

Strata1716:


I really don’t think it’s possible not to exceed the tax free amount because 20 hours will most likely give you £800 p/m and I don’t think there’s any job that will pay you just £300 so you can remain tax free.

Strata1716:
Good morning everyone,

please my friend unfortunately had to work more than 20 hours because the bills were too much and he’s also the first child of the family so he had to pay siblings school fees and take care of his family back home in Nigeria.

He only started Working 34 hours after lectures was over and they were writing dissertation as he had exhausted every savings so needed money badly, It’s time for psw but he’s scared of doing the Visa because he doesn’t want to be caught and deported.

I’ve told him to try his luck and see what happens but he’s saying he doesn’t want to risk it, please is there any way for him to explain to the VO maybe in a cover letter or something else why he had to work those hours,

is it a bit better that he started working past 20 hours after lectures but during dissertation writing, can he also get a care sponsorship job as it is 2 months before the expiration of his visa and he’s been trying for weeks to get a care job but no luck.

Please don’t ignore as all advise are welcomed and my friend is very depressed now, we are trying to help but scared he might unalive himself because the financial pressure of going back to Nigeria might be too much.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am currently residing in the United Kingdom, having overstayed my visa by a period of two years. However, I am now looking to return to Nigeria with my wife, who is a British citizen, for the purpose of getting married. I am seeking guidance on how best to approach the issue of my overstay and how to present a compelling case for the granting of a visa.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Even though I am a stunch Obedient and a firm believer that Obi will win, this poll is faulty.

Nigeria is too diverse to relly on a 1000 response to guage the mood of the nation. Any poll that wants to be taken seriously must gather data from at least 1000 people in each LGA which is about 774,000 people.

That is the only way to have a reliable poll

ukay2:


l de tell you....l asked the guy if he has maxed out his £20k ISA account for NYSE stocks as April is fast approaching and he said he has not opened the ISA account l told him to open since January 2022 and cannot save anything because of the car financing taking out £600 per month for the next 4 years. He has learnt his lessons (101)....

Where Tinubu wan come get him votes from like this?

South-South and South-East are already out of it...(This Region despise Tinubu with passion.)
Some people are just Giving Tinubu hope in this Region. They're after his Mobilization money.

The only Region they are banking on which is the North is now doing somehow.

Truth is, if Kwankwaso doesn't collapse his structure for Tinubu, Tinubu stands no chance in this Election.

Until Kwankwaso aligns with Tinubu, this Election is between Obi and Atiku.
