Lol. Thank goodness you're not Zelensky.

If he did such a thing, everyone would fall about laughing.

Post ILR, the no of years spent on any type of leave is irrelevant, it only matters when counting down to ILR. What matters for citizenship application is the 12 months spent in the UK after ILR. So yes the person can apply for citizenship.

Pay using PayPal, not agree for PayPal.
I'm confused.

Indeed, if you lie long enough and hard enough,you will indeed get some treatment. However, as no medical intervention is 100% safe, you will have exposed yourself to some nasties for nothing.

ITS ALWAYS A BAD IDEA TO LIE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

By all means , use the urgent care. You will be seen and be sent right back to your GP if not deemed hospital worthy.

I will not get into the "laziness" of GPs. The Daily Smell and its readers have written enough about it, I reckon.

A lot of people are wondering how I'm doing it. Let me try and summarise.

It shocks everyone. Especially for someone that had all the help needed in Nigeria. But I was determined. My husband still does 98% of our expenses from nigeria.

I didn't work for the first 6 months. I finished all my school work. My course is 2 years, so now I'm on holidays till end of May. My advance practice starts in June. So it all just works out. I currently work as an administrator, Monday to friday, flexi hours but full time. So I chose to do 9:30-5. I don't work weekends at all. I'm a mother hen. I still love to be 5&6 with my kids. I go EVERYWHERE with them. Even in Nigeria, never used to leave them with maid or nanny. I wasn't working in Nigeria though.

It's expensive though, I must admit.

Now that I've started working, my 2 year old has to be in nursery from Monday to friday. So i pay for that. My neighbour picks the three of them from school and nursery and keeps them till 5, when I close. I pay her a token. And the kids love it there.

It takes a lot of patience. Can't be rushed. The idea of making money immediately is not realistic in this case. And you must get support from somewhere sha. I also built relationships with neighbours, that's why I got the help for after school.

I was initially paying for private after school for the older ones because their school doesn't do after school. Stopped when my neighbour offered to help.

Not as easy as it looks in black and white, but very doable. I'm resting now though. Got a visit visa for my mum and she's around. But my kids also learned a lot of independence around the house. We grew quite fast in the last 1 year.

Please is it advisable to ship a gadget from Nigeria to the UK. I’m still spending Naira and I need a new iPhone, the prices here are killing me. If yes, please can anyone recommend any reliable and affordable shipping companies from Lagos to the UK. Thank you

Guys with experience please help.

I parked my car in the work place parking lot (forgot to pull the handbrake). And went into the office.
During storm Franklyn, car rolled back and ‘rested’ on a Mercedes Benz E. This broke the Mercedes Benz Logo on the front grill.
I met with Mercedes owner and asked if repairs could be arranged outside of insurance.
Today, I received a quote of £1,052 Which is really plenty (considering the small damage as I perceive it).

Now I am thinking of involving my insurance company. Is this a good idea please?
Will my premium increase massively next year? Will this count as me involved in an accident? I am in year 3 of No Claims. Please is the No claims bonus (after 5 years) usually big? Is it worth it?


Please people Mek Ina No jump and pass. Help a sister.

How come you guys paid for this option when it has not working since last year October or so. I know the student thread has been complaining. I did not know some of you still paid.

You want people to advice you yet you are throwing words. If someone responds the same level like you just did; you start screaming bullying.

Nigerians are extremely docile people, it's been more than two months since TLS canceled priority services and asked all the people that have already paid for those services to request for a refund, I have asked around, there's no single soul that have been refunded, [/b]we are talking about [b]hundreds if not thousands of people that paid a minimum of £220 for a priority service that wasn't rendered, some paid higher for super priority, TLS is not even bothered to reply to people's inquiries on when they are going to receive their money. Can they treat their UK customers like this? Or they are doing this because it is Nigerians and we are docile, this money from a rough estimate should be running into hundreds of thousands of pounds and they simply refused to give them back to the owners and won't even be assed enough to respond to your mails, it is disrespectful that you only get an automated message anything to try to enquire about your refund.

If the UK were to be a person, I see it like those Aunties/uncles that have made a name for themselves as big Anty/uncle that tries to solve everyone’s financial issues. To the point when they don’t have, they go to borrow from other people to give to another person so as to keep their title “Big Anty/Uncle”, Then later turn around to be the one everyone is scolding in the family for having bad financial attitude/behavior.

I think the Uk/UK government are in a very bad financial place but keep acting like all is well. They promise a lot to people (Afghans), things they cant fulfill. They have a lot going wrong with them, but they feel they have a title globally and would prefer to involve in Ukrainian issues (to save their title) than focus on how to come out of their financial mess.

I see decisions of the UK/UK government affecting the other countries in the union (UK). I think it will be best for the union to be separated so that these other countries can take decisions that best suit them, and not let some group of undisciplined adults control their affairs. If they ever separate the other countries will do far far better than what the controlling country at the moment would achieve.

Since we are here already, it will be best to have an alternate plans. Plans that can be actualized outside the UK. I think it’s going to be a difficult run ahead for the UK and it’s residents. It will be fine at the end, but it’s gonna be ruff.

I may be wrong. Or maybe I am tired and need some rest. Abi a cup of wine. Time will tell.

Look for one with good service history, check MOT history, give it a good test drive .......... And ensure you test the AC ........ By 2026, you would still be driving it . ......

To get rid of it, go hard you ...........

I can't remember who mentioned moneybox but I checked it out and it's definitely something I was looking for when I said I was looking for something similar to piggyvest

DFmum:
Ok, I think I stated the reason earlier. He was refused visa 2015 and never got to know the reason for the refusal because nothing was on the mail and it was an agent that did that for him then, and didn't know he was banned as well. So now that we applied for dependant visa , they refused him and gave the kids, stating that he was banned in 2015 because he falsified document, meaning he can only apply after Oct 2025.

DFmum:
Thank you so much tushqueen , Adapapaokoye and others for your advice , I really appreciate.
Please what can I do or provide to ensure my mum is given visa so that she can come with my kids. I have been able to get a solicitor here in Uk for administrative review on my husband's visa issue, hoping that it comes out well.
The only option I have now is my mum to bring them and stay here for awhile.

It's 5 years

3 years 2 full time employees for 12 months.

Additional 2 years extension with 2 full time employees for 12 months.

(Employees must be settled in UK)

And the restrictions coupled with the IR35 is just crippling.
