Try and call someone in Axa Mansard, I think they cover more than 90 days but the premium might be higher.

I chatted with one of their reps using the online chat function, seems the policy holder would have to return to Nigeria and make another trip. Would try calling them tomorrow to clarify, thanks 👍

Cyberknight:
Read the FAQs, especially the one concerning maximum policy duration.
Ultimately if you cant get any for more than 90 days, then buy more than one policy with overlapping start and end dates so your mother is always covered.

Thank you. Think I would go this route 👍

Thanks, but looks like they have a similar 90 days clause with Axa

Hello everyone, please would like to get recommendations on insurance companies from Nigeria I can use to get travel insurance for my mother in law who would be visiting next month. Plan is for her to stay more than 3 months. I have checked Axa mansard, seems they don’t cover more than 90 days. Would like to hear your views

Morning all, could someone please suggest a cure for eczema and itchy skin for a 3-year-old girl based on past experience, please?

She's had eczema since she was 1 year old, initially appearing only on both knees. We've been using Aveeno cream since then, but it got worse this year when it started appearing all over her body. We took her to the GP, and she prescribed a steroid. It clears it away temporarily, but it comes back even more after withdrawing the steroids.

She keeps waking up during the night due to itching and can sometimes take 1 to 2 hours before she falls back asleep. As a result of the scratching, we also can't sleep until she sleeps.

She's not always in a good mood during the day as she spends lots of time scratching all over her body.

She's been sent back home a couple of times from nursery due to that.

List of stuff we've used: Aveeno, Zerobase, Hydromol, Epimax, Dermol lotion for bathing, steroid cream, Piriton for itching (this makes her too sleepy).

Treating Eczema can be exhausting. From when my baby was 2 months she started battling Eczema. We used different creams and none of them worked. The GP prescribed steroids, but the eczema kept coming back after we stopped using it, we were referred to a clinical Nurse that specialises in Eczema, that one too gave so many different creams, more steriods, asked GP to give us sleeping suites she can use at night, omo nothing worked o. GP then referred us for Allergy test, wait time was 3 months plus. Then I saw a video from a Dermatologist on YouTube where they talked about lack of vitamin D being a possible cause for those living in colder countries. Saw recommendation on Vaseline as well, so we got Vitamin D Drops and Vaseline and started using consistently and within one week her skin became much better. Her skin is all clear now, we are mixing Vaseline and Aveeno at the moment.

Greetings everyone,

What do you advise, I wanted to renew my rent contract, but Landlord is suggesting i don’t need to extend, as the contract automatically goes into a rolling contract after 12 months. Do you think I should insist on getting a new contract ?

Hello all, does anyone here know if benefiting from a maternity exemption certificate count as public funds ?

Hello everyone, please what courier or logistics company would you recommend to send a phone to Abuja from UK ? Kindly recommend those that offer a fair rate

Hwy9:
Please, has anyone purchased phone from back market? Any experience?

Kindly share.

I got a Samsung S21 FE from back market two months back. Got it for someone in Nigeria. It was very clean you would think it is new. The prices vary based on the Condition (Fair, good, excellent), I bought ‘excellent’ as I wanted something with almost 100% battery health and still very clean. Zero complaints so far from the person I bought for.

koonbey:
Good. Just tell them it's cultural and you made sure to follow all precautions e.g. using a sterile implement etc.

Hello everyone, just to give a bit of an update. The Midwives got back to us today that they have completed relevant checks/ confirmations with the NHS safeguarding team and the social services as regard’s piercing the baby’s ears. They were able to confirm that since it is cultural, it was fine as long as the piercing was done with clean and sterilized objects, and we clean with salt water regularly till it fully heals, to help prevent any infections.

Thank you all for your inputs

giselle237:
Hi, my cousins had same issue. They told them it is cultural and tried to make it look like the midwife was trying to be discriminatory against their culture . I don’t know sha but that’s how they wiggled out of it.

Thanks for sharing your cousin experience. Would provide updates on how it all plays out.

koonbey:
It’s not classed as abuse and it’s not illegal.

There’s nothing to be very worried about.

Thanks for responding. I would provide further updates on this tomorrow as we are expecting another midwife visit tomorrow. The midwife that came around today said the ears are okay and with no infections.

Hello everyone… please is there any implication for piercing one’s baby’s ear at home ? One of the midwives that came to check the baby today was saying she was going to check with social services to see if it was legal. The baby’s ear was pierced by my mum. Should I be worried ? Kindly share your views. Thanks

OmichaelO:
Thank you boss.

Please, the consultant part do you mean the driving lesson instructor?

Sure, your driving instructor might be able to help. You can also use ‘ drivinginstructorhub dot co dot Uk’ they render the service as well at a more cheaper rate, it might take longer to get a date though.

OmichaelO:
Please how do i book for practical test date? search functionality on this site is somehow? all the dates I'm seeing is for november.

Seems those are the available dates as at when you searched. You have to keep searching, an instructor told me the system is refreshed Monday mornings, so maybe check on Monday morning. You can also use consultants who swap dates for a fee.

OmichaelO:
I just finished my driving theory test.

Thank you guys always for the informations and heads up.

I'm not very impressed with my theory. I was expecting 50/50

But at all at all. All pass na pass

Congratulations…Be like we plenty wey pass the test today o. Also passed mine💃

Help guys! I will be travelling to Nigeria next week via Turkish airline. The layover time is about 15 hours. The airline will be lodging passengers in a hotel. I just want to know if I need visa to be able to leave the airport and lodge in the hotel. Has anybody ever been through similar situation before? Please how did you handle it?

You need a VISA to go outside of the airport where the hotel would most likely be. You can as well decide to stay within the airport premises if you like. You can get food every 5 hours, just go to the Turkish airline customer care section to get meal vouchers for any of the restaurants they currently partner with. The last time I travelled I stayed in a lounge area with recliner sleeper chairs which were not too bad. Happy travels 🙂

Emmy2023:
Good day everyone,

Please I need assistance

I got to West Bromwich, Birmingham with a Skilled worker visa on sponsorship, been here since April 20th because according to my letter of employment I’m to resume 1st of May but till date all we’ve done is documentation and asked to wait for training which they’ve just only attended to 3 people out of 15. Please I need assistance in getting another source of fund because my rent is almost due and I’ve been applying for part time jobs and not been successful. Advices and assistance is really needed. Thanks

If it is a care worker VISA, I would advise you start applying directly to other care related jobs that are willing to sponsor, and have jobs for you to do. Most of these Care agencies are just bringing in people as a means to cash out.

In the interim, you can apply to warehouse jobs, walk into the Bullring meat market and talk to mangers on duty, they might be able to offer you something to help with your bills. All the best.

Hi guys, Please I am I'm dire need of a fully remote customer service job because of my little kids..I have been paying on Indeed but I only get "sorry the post is no longer available. Can anyone please help out.

Thanks
.

Keep checking and applying on CV library and indeed. Filter for remote roles, and try apply to customer service advisor roles in banks like Lloyd’s, HSBC, Barclays. They usually have fully remote roles. You can also register with recruiting agencies like Blue Arrows and AMS solutions who recruit for some of this corporate Orgs. The key is to tailor your CV as much as possible and keep applying.

Hello guys, I am planning to travel to Naija soon. Not gone back since I came here. Asides my Passport, BRP, covid-19 card, is there any other document I would need for my trip ? Any other travel requirement would be much appreciated. Thanks

JaySterling:
‪Please guys, I just got a refund from DVLA, how can I cash the payable order Cheque? I paid to DVLA with my Monzo debit card and Monzo is an online bank with no physical branches.‬

You can take it to a physical branch of any other bank you use with a means of ID. Your account would be credited in two days.

Hello guys, I am planning to take a Turkish airline flight from Birmingham to Abuja, there is a long lay over of about 20hrs, do I need a transit Visa to benefit from the free hotel Turkish airline do offer for long layovers ? If yes, how much would it cost and how long does processing takes ?

alongetayo:
Good Morning.

Please I need sincere advices.

I got a Customer Service job [full time] with Llyods bank, through a recruiting firm though. Net pay is £1,660 and they pay every 2 weeks (£830).

Please is that a good pay? Considering the fact tge we moved in Aug? Or I should rather start care? I was told I can make more if I start care/support job. Or i should just focus on this job?

NB: Wifey is a student and makes like £1,200/Monthly also.

My wife also resumed same role with Lloyd’s bank sometime in September, and a good number of those that joined with her left for better roles before the end of their 10 weeks training. She just started NYSC before we left Nigeria, so she practically has no serious experience. The plan is for her to gain some experience before she starts applying to other places. I would say it all depends on what you plan to do in the long run. But if you have immediate financial obligations you feel care jobs can settle quicker, you can go that route as well.

Hi bro,

Is it possible to land a big 4 job in UK without any prior experience with big 4 in Nigeria? i am asking because i had a friend who got an invite for advisory services with KPMG but skeptical about his chances owing to the aforementioned reason. The guy is a chartered accountant and an assistant manager with a coy in Nigeria.

If he works with a smaller firm(big 10), he stands a chance. I know a guy from PKF Kenya that got a manager role in a big4, another from an indigenous firm in South Africa got an assistant manager role. Just have the relevant experience, package your CV well and be prepared to defend your CV during the interview stages.

Adunnishugar:
Hello house,

Please I need help getting warehouse jobs In Birmingham. I have applied on the job platforms(indeed and the rest). Please if anyone knows an agent I can call kindly assist.

Hello, we’re you able to land any warehouse or remote roles ? My wife is also looking for somewhere in Birmingham.

missyojo:
My budget is 100k maximum.

With this budget, Your chances of getting somewhere as decent as you want is slim. If at all you get any house that cheap, it might not be fenced, No running water and it possibly can’t be close to the road.

DAHWAH007:
Started this hustle since 2017..... recieved my offer letter yesterday. There is unique and different story for each and everyone of us. Some finished all stages of the recruitment process in less than 4 months, while it took some of us more than a year. Bottom line is give your best at all stages and leave the rest to God. At the right time God go pick your call. Wishing you all at different stages of the recruitment process success. Cheers !!!

Congratulations bro....wishing you all the best in your career.

@johnholt2217 and @tunemike please any advice on how to ace the personality assessment? Do people get dropped at the opq stage ?
