Religion / Re: Penam Percy Paul Glory Song Series: Which One Is Your Favourite Album And Track. by igbsam(m): 9:20am On Sep 03, 2023
I will make my life, your dwelling place, i will build your throne in my heart. Come father, come son, come holy Spirit. Come and take your place, in my life.

Modern day gen z christian musicians have long way to go. When we listen to the likes of panam percy paul, ojo ade, to mention a few, the fear of God is always strong in us. We always feel sober and try to always do the right thing. But today's musician are competing with the likes of davido and wiz kid( not all though, but majority). When you listen to Christian songs, you suppose go one corner begin reason your life and eternity.

If I have a big purchase, I simply apply for another card and put purchase on card....... Enjoy 24 months interest free period + S75 protection (then clear balance before interest free period is over).......😜

I did this when i moved to a new house. Used the new card to buy my household items cos I'm on 1yr free interest period. I think this is one of the reason we accumulate so much cards cheesy not me acting like I didn't know

Well, some people see it as being financially organized. According to his words. His argos card is for argos shopping, his tesco card is for tesco, sainsbury card is for sainsbury, aqua is for drinks, capital one is for Chinese meals, amex is for vacations. Quoting my colleague.

I don’t believe oh have 20 credit card

I have a work colleague that has close or if I'm not mistaken above that numbers. He brags about having so much credit cards and how he's got one each for different hangout spots and restaurants where he frequents. Infact, he has all of them on his google wallet so he doesn't go about carrying physical cards. Did i believe him ? He showed me and i got tired of watching him swiping each and bragging after we got to about 17

I'm curious but how's your credit score like? I believe they usually advise against having too many credit cards?




My score is growing fine. Each cards have their own function and i try to spend carefully not going above my capacity. I also pay back on time even before statement. So my score is fine.

On this, I helped draft the email below and so far, I have had 100% success rate from people I shared with. Let the student send this to the council ccing the partner.

Good evening,
My name is xx, a full-time international student at xx University and my partner's name is xx.
I reside at xx. I had initially requested a council tax exemption as a full-time student but was told my partner is a liable party for council tax because he is not a full-time student. We received the attached bill to this effect for the period xx 2022 - xx 2023 wherein it was split into xx equal installments.

However, Article 3 of the Council Tax (Exempt Dwellings) Order, SI 1992/558 provides that 'A dwelling is exempt from council tax if it falls within any of the following Class N: a dwelling which is either:
(a) occupied by one or more residents all of whom are relevant persons;
(b) occupied only by one or more relevant persons as term time accommodation.

A relevant person means:
(i) a student;
(ii) a student's spouse or dependant being in each case a person who is not a British citizen and who is prevented, by the terms of his leave to enter or remain in the UK, from taking paid employment or from claiming benefits or (iii) a person to whom Class C (school or college leavers) of regulation 3(1) of the Council Tax (Additional Provision for Discount Disregards) Regulation 1992 applies.

From the foregoing, please note that I belong to category a(i) I am a student and my partner belongs to category a(ii) he is the spouse of a student. We are both non-British citizens and his visa prevents him from claiming benefits. Subsequently, we qualify for the 100% council tax exemption.

Furthermore, please see below links citing cases whereby 100% exemptions were granted to student dependants by the Court:
https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5a8ff72860d03e7f57ea8dcf/amp
https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/local-government/65852.article

We look forward to your kind response..


Councils dread court cases most times as it does not make sense to be dragged to court for Β£150/m tax.

Seun suppose find way wey person fit dey pin important information on the front page of every thread on nairaland, so we don't have to start going over pages for important information or tips like this. This is apt and should be a template for anyone with student / council tax issues. Well done

Viruses:

What's are your exact reasons?
Too much traffic, no road signs, no parking space or what?

I mean if this advice is anything to go buy, the reason should not be because someone on Nairaland said so.

As a non resident not familiar with ULEZ areas. You enter the trap. 2. Traffic is crazy in central london. I ended up spending more on gas compared to where i came from.

Hello Elders, I plan driving to London from the North East for the passport renewal of my wife and 3 kids.

We intend going a day before the appointment and then lodge at an hotel or airbnb. To avoid all the ulez, red zones, blue zones issues around central London(I drive a 2013 CitroΓ«n c4 hatchback), I'm thinking we should look for where to lodge in the outskirts of London. We can then get a bus or train early morning on the day of the appointment to the high commission. We also want the kids to visit one or two fun places in London before we return to our North. πŸ˜€

Elders, that have done this in the past, what's my best bet and which areas of London can we get an affordable accommodation for one night. Thanks as always.

If anything, take this advice from me. As a non resident of central london, i take God beg you, no drive enter london. Speaking from experience! E no funny at all..except you know how it works driving in central london and you know your way around there.
