Just another motivation to get a British passport.

From the visa application phase to the long travels, it could be financially, physically and mentally draining.

lightofjoy:
Hi everyone,
am in the UK on a skilled visa, I need to go to France for holiday,
how do I process the visa and the associated cost.

Thanks

jedisco:


Interesting take. Let's widen the net.

Do you think that living in the West automatically puts any migrating Nigerian above every Nigerian back home (aside politicians e.t.c)? I.e someone on minimum wage in the UK is overall better off than someone earning 15m in 9ja?

luvlyoracle:
If my course is a 2year course eg. Occupational therapy,
1) The fee of 18k per year that means it would be 18k x2 for the two years?
2) If Yes am I going to show POF for 36k or 18k

Joyglo:
Good evening to you all.

I just concluded my study and my graduation is in January 2025. I am planning on applying a visit visa for my younger sister to enable her attend my graduation party.

She finished her undergraduate degree in the year 2022 and also pass out Nysc July 2023. She’s doing nothing at the moment but myself and my brothers do send her stipend from time to time.

I would like to know what sort of documents do I need to show from my end and from her end in order to apply for visa for her she is 25yrs old.

Please help me out . Thank you so much

I am not gonna share the website you will get that from nor tell you more than I said. Internet is not anonymous and this is against my job ethics.

But I talk as an insider.



As per your family working for oil company for the past 20yrs. Oil company or oil servicing company get levels. A driver working with an oil company don't get the same benefits as a health worker or an engineer. Even engineers get levels.
But as a health worker, all I said applied to her.

descarado:

A nurse in an oil company has loads of untapped possibilities outside Nigeria courtesy of the oil company. She is better of with the oil company.

How much is nhs offering her?
Depending on the department, she might not start off well. And cos it's a contract, she will stay in that department for 5 yrs b4 thinking of changing.
Also,nhs always look for nurses that will work in units where home nurses run away from cos of pin problems and court cases. As a jjc, she don't know the system and the bottlenecks therein. Most start off and end up with private companies or agencies. E get why.
Unless there is no offer like what she had, she can go for nhs.
Working in oil company, she also has access to free medicals for all her house members invluding servants as long as they are registered under her and free schools for her kids. The kids can school anywhere in the world courtesy of the help and connections of the oil company for tertiary education. She wanna relocate her family,she will be helped from buying house to settling down for her family
She want to work in Canada or wherever tomorrow, it's easy. And she is sure of promotion.
You can be in band 5 for10 yrs receiving peanuts.
Nigeria is bad yet loads of people are still surviving there.

I can see that many people here do not actually know what one gains while working with major oil companies in Nigeria.

descarado:

The possibility of losing her pin is there.
Blacks lose pin cos of flimsy reasons.
I know so many that have lost theirs.

080bjaked:


It's interesting how this argument has "evolved" sha.
I recalled it used to be "200k job in NG or relocating to Canada" around 2013 or so
later it became, "if I earn 500k in NG, I have no business relocating"
then "Bank Mgrs relocating are fools" blah blah
then the benchmark moved to 1m, 2m......now 5m

I'm not advising anyone please (the question seems hypothetical to me at best) but if in a bid to keep the trend logical, the NGN salary moved from 200k to 5m in less than 15years, I wouldn't bank on it when deciding my future.

claremont:


The quality of life a N5000,000/month can give you in Nigeria is incomparable to what a measly £30,000/year nursing starting salary can give in the UK. A family in which one earner earns that much in Nigeria can build and/or rent a mansion. A nurse starting salary would struggle to rent a decent flat, let alone qualify for a mortgage. If we even factor in future salary increment in the UK to justify our reasoning, we should also then consider that she would also get an increment in the 5M salary in Nigeria at some point. IF the future of the children is the reason for the move, a few months of savings can allow her sponsor the kids to study in the UK until they can function independently.

If I were in her shoes, I will take the Nigeria job offer. Work and save aggressively for a few years. Visit the UK and spend time understanding the way the system works here for nurses. Do some research into America as well. If I earned that much in Nigeria before I came to the UK in 2009, I wouldn't have made the decision to come.

1 - Corruption sector....
2- Bad governance sector.....
3 - Gbajue sector.......

Taal17:

And neither do you.
But what is clear is that the only person that has a definitive job when they land is her. She'll be on that entry level for at least two years. Her husband will need to bridge that gap for childcare cos those kids are young since .
To do this UK move he needs to be prepared to do what he probably has not been primarily responsible for in Nigeria.

Taal17:

I don't think you husband is prepared because with you working the bulk of the work will be with him, including taking care of the kids. Cos your entry level job as a nurse is peanuts .

5 and 7 year olds? SMH

NurseGrace:


He is a civil engineer . No other skill asides that. And he is of the opinion that I should accept the job in the UK mainly because of the kids.

NurseGrace:
Please I need to make an important decision in my life and I need opinions expecially from people in the Uk. I am a Nurse in Nigeria who just got 2 job offers, the 1st is with an oil company in Nigeria with a monthly pay of 5million monthly and the second is a job in UK with the NHS. Please I need suggestions please, if you were in my shoes which will u choose. This decision is very important to me. And by the way I am 35yrs with a husband who is a civil servant here and 2 children (5years and 7years).

Make Una help me jubilate oo, After 3 theory test attempts , 5 practical test attempts, Over 2k£ spent between booking test dates, a car for each tests and driving lessons, I have finally passed today 🍾🥳

Despite having 14yrs experience of driving through the nook and crook of Nigeria thinking I was a professional driver, my doubt was cleared and I had to relearn and throw a way the bad habits .

As Oga Lexus once said “the more years you spent driving the Nigeria roads, the more lessons and trainings you would need to pass unless you are among the few lucky ones. 😂

Hi guys,

Please I need guidance on benefits and entitlement to apply for as a pregnant student in UK.

I still have some months left on my study and I intend applying for for PWS.

Thank you.

Goke7:


Haitian immigrants nko, who do they look like?

Goke7:


Actually in Nigeria it was because Obama refused to supply arms to Nigeria to fight boko haram due to human rights violations according to Obama that drove many Christians to trump they saw Obama and the democrats as anti Christianity for that singular act in addition to all the LGBT ish.

Goke7:


just how?

dustydee:

You forgot to add Netanyahu.

Kenn55:






I struggle to understand why some of us immigrants support a con man like Trump. Have you guys listened to his MAGA base like Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and other of his surrogates and see the kind of venom that comes out of their mouth? MAGA is not about policy, it is about " white grievances " and you guys are being used without knowing.

jedisco:


Hehe... it's largely down to lgbtq and abortion issues. Don't be surprised if Reform proposes to strip all non-white folks of their British citizenship and at the same time proposes an anti-abortion/lgbtq stand some of our people would consider supporting him based on the later.


When you losten to those mentioned folks, you see most of their anti-illegal immigration stuff is a smoke screen. Their main concern is the changing demography and increasing attainment of minorities. They then go on to paint previous decades before this change as some utopia to rally their fan base so they can 'make America/UK/AUS/Can great again. Yes, I don't support uncontrolled undocumented immigration but as we've seen with the recent UK election campaign and riots, to many of these nut heads, any non-white person = illegal immigrant.

jedisco:


Lol... you carry this matter for head.

I'm in watch mode- the ultimate results might not be as close as people think.

directonpc:

Seriously. Weirdly people like Elon Musk support him.

directonpc:
you don see Trump tweets about how him win the debate?
