dustydee: It’s a thing for some. It’s okay to have a different lived experience. The same way you think peeing in the open is not a thing is the same way others would see eating with fingers as barbaric. It’s all about life experiences - and they vary. I was only saying you all should cut the poor man some slack. Peeing in the open was commonplace growing up in Nigeria - maybe not all parts, but it’s not unheard of like your reactions to his post suggested. Besides, he only misses his old life, which is acceptable. He however should not attempt it in this day, age, and environment. |

dustydee: Same reason a grown man with access to cutlery will choose to eat with his fingers. Human beings are a product of their upbringing/environment and old habits die hard. The poor man was just missing his old life, how should that be anyone’s headache. No crime has been committed here! |

lightest: See advice I’d think twice before sending my international passport or BRP to an address other than the one advised by the government. Just imagine for a moment, that something goes wrong. I’m sure Mr/Ms Jones will deny ever asking you to send your original id document to them. Patience is a virtue, but trust Nigerians to always always look for a short cut and shunt the queue, even when it’s not ‘necestry’. We just love to do it our own way, yet we complain everyday about corruption 6 Likes |

Ilekokonit: So, did you fail to make it BIG TIME in Nigeria because you did not have self belief? Seems you’ve only got negative things to say about the UK and ‘white people’, yet it is the same place you ran back to, after burning your fingers in Nigeria and fellow Nigerians did you ‘iskanci’. Quit the stereotyping, sir. There are good and bad people everywhere, and everything you’ve attempted to demonise the UK and ‘white people’ for also happens in Nigeria by black people to black people. You probably would know that if you ever worked as an employee in Nigeria at any time before your UK sojourn. 6 Likes |

Bluetherapy: Yes. It’s part of the screening process, and it’s so that you both don’t waste each other’s precious time. Look at it this way, why book someone in for viewing when they can’t afford to rent the property? Some people go for viewing like window shopping, just to kill boredom . Only that for viewing, someone else’s time is involved. If you really need or want the property, disclosing your income should not be an issue. 2 Likes 1 Share |

7barz: Whatever you do, avoid any financial connection with your husband, so as not to mess up his own credit rating as well. Like others have said, make the necessary arrangements to settle your debt when you return to the country, while you rely on your husband to apply for any credit products, rent, etc., until your own rating is back on track. |

gabiomoesu: Above all, let her do her own research, to avoid stories that touch. It should be more of her research and decision than yours. I would understand if you were going through this trouble for a child. But for an adult with their own life decisions to make? PS: I’m not in any way criticising you. I’m just wondering why your girlfriend can’t do this by herself and decide what works best for her, and how it fits into your own plan (if it does), while you focus on your academics.

Regex: You still don’t get it, do you? It’s not about opening the door, it’s about not giving anyone a reason to knock at your door in the first place. Applying for an exemption - which is the right and legal thing to do - takes less than 2 minutes. Now, if you do the right thing, no one will show up at your door, and you will have no reason to hide/slam the door/tell them you are not home, like my uncle Lexus 3 Likes |

Regex: Semantics! The law requires you to apply for exemption if you do not watch live tv. That’s the law, but your friend insists on slamming the door when the authorities come for inspection, the law be dammed! That was the bone of contention, not whether or not it is criminal to watch tv. His preferred approach is bad behaviour at best, and criminal behaviour at its core. Yes, I said it! 7 Likes |

What that further means is that you are no different from Generals Buhari and Abacha, Messrs Kim Jong-un, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, amongst other notorious human rights abusers living and dead! 1 Like |
