Russian roubles, where possible.
It has defied all the sanctions thrown at it so far.

It must be a full moon ..........

But you agree, this thread is much better than wikipedia/google combined ........ What makes sense to one, might not always make sense to another.......

Look at it like Ọja Oyingbo....... Loads to choose from.... ....

Some have made friends ...... Whilst others, lasting enemies........

Hi @justwise I saw your response to someone where you encouraged him to proceed with his Nigerian passport application. I thought it was a very tiring and lengthy process., but i guess the situation is better now.

I have a trip to nigeria in the first week of july with my husband and baby. I already made up my mind that we were all gonna apply for nigeria visa, but I was really encouraged by post loool. If we start a passport application now, we will have to pay for a priority service right in order to get our passports before july??

IjJudy:
Alright, thank you so much

giselle237:
no priority needed. A friend got his in 1 week from the day of biometrics in March. Fill the form in time inorder to get a close appointment date. Hold on,
If you dnt have NIN, it pushes one back by at least 2- 3 weeks because NIN is now compulsory.
40p for adults and 30p for kids. Book a nin appointment as soon as possible

IjJudy:
I was thinking last week of May, but with this whole confusion about not being able to come back in when passport is about to expire has paused the trip....if anyone can assure me I will get my passport in a month or 6 weeks time, then I plan towards end of June

IjJudy:
Thanks, I have a student visa, my brp expires sometime next year. Getting into Nigeria might be easy, but my concern is coming back into UK. Please what's your take, should I apply for renewal here? Any idea how long before the new passport will come, I am asking because of the children's vignette, so it does not expire while waiting for passport.

IjJudy:
Please any idea how long the processing takes

@justwise please you mentioned travelling back with an almost expired passport, mine expires on ist of june, can I travel to Naija with and return before that ist without issues at the airport?

Also someone said my husband can't brinh my kids in since I am the main applicant, we came in together and he has gotten his brp but travelled back to bring the kids.

Elders biko make una help my ministry, anyone that has any input about my plenty listed wahalas above should kindly help. Thanks

Viruses:
Read the story again. The person complaining of injustice is the actual suspect. She is working and having her salary paid into someone else's account. Why?

This is very common in US. Immigrants not eligible to work uses someone else's details to work, salary is paid to the details of the person being used and they settle each other afterwards.

izyblaze:
From what she said, she hinted on the fact that she was not collecting payslips as the money was being paid into someone else’s account (first red flag) secondly since they have her passport and all, I assume it may be possible?

izyblaze:
Hi Gurus in the house, I’ve a question is it true that these shady agencies can sell your details to people without kpali so they can use ur to work? I’m genuinely curious because on my previous reply on the student thread, I had posted about two people I know that were refused PSW and marched back to Nigeria on grounds that their NI were checked, and discovered they broke the 20hrs rule. I reached out to the other one that actually applied for tier two, and she swore she never did more than 20hrs that she’s sure it was one of these agencies that must have given her details to people to work with. She’s planning to hire an immigration lawyer but I’m here asking to satisfy my curiosity becauseeee it’s scary if it’s true

LagosInter:
I need suggestions please.

I have a degree. I am in early 30s.

Never travelled before.

Money is no issue.

Lionize:
It's appalling to say the least. Now to travel by road is a nightmare due to insecurity, they want to hold air passengers by the jugular too. I weak.

Valourex:
Gurus in the house, please can I use my driver's license in Nigeria to drive my personal car in the UK?

GodfreyGi:
Good morning,

I want to apply for UK visa for myself and my wife, for this summer vacation. However, my wife was refused US visa just two weeks ago.

My question is; will my wife denial of the US visa (just 2 weeks ago) have any adverse effect on our UK application? Are we applying too soon?

Please I need your advice everyone.
@justwise I will appreciate your take too.

abeggnow:
lol i laugh at you. ignorance is a very bad thing. India is an ally of russia but also an ally of the US infant they are in an alliance. also they have a very free and liberal press. Argentina did not condemn Russia ,Brazil and Mexico did not condem Russia does that make them Russian allies?? RT Cnn bbc fox nbc all engage in some form of propaganda because they are closely interwoven with inteligence agencies in their individual country. also i served in the Nigerian army as a commissioned office and as such i can never be ignorant when ut comes to geopolitical issues.infact i dare say i am better informed than you are.

abeggnow:
india is not anti west India is anti china.also try to study history a little. like RT english language was either america or uk. both are closed. if you have link to the RT online thats in english send it lets see.

abeggnow:
i don’t speak or understand Russian. RTV america and Ukraine are shut. I try to get my news source on Indian news Chanels they are more balanced also get info from people I know in Ukraine and Russia.

abeggnow:
lol.try to read more.you have no clue as to why Russia is fighting in Ukraine.stay away from CNN and co.u will only be miss informed

kingjizzy2:
Please help me travel experts I’m a Graduate with 3rd class degree, currently still on my one year NYSC program which will end by February 2023,Now here is my confusion I want to start processing UK/Canada Study and Work Visa.
But my Questions are does any of the two countries I intend applying for accept third class for Master’s or Post graduate Diploma study?
Will they require my NYSC completion certificate?

Or probably should I apply for fresh degree program as I’m 28 years old already?

Please pardon my writing errors, as I await your valid contributions on the right thing to do as I’m confused.

Amarathripple0:
Yea for the 10 year route, unfortunately Tier 4 and PSW visa do not count for the 5 year route.

BorisJohnson:
It counts on the 10-year route.
The petition aims to make it count towards a 5-year route (in effect, equivalent to Skilled Worker Visa (aka Tier-2)

Petition: Make Graduate visa extendable and count towards permanent residency

@justwise.

The below is just to tell prospective students about an easy job they can do in the UK.
I have noticed that many Nigerian and Indian students PSW visa are been rejected at alarming rate due to exceeding 20hrs of work.
Some of these students have no choice than to work above 20hrs because they will immediately be sacked. Some of them solely depend on this income as they borrowed to come. If you work in warehouse jobs, security jobs, kitchen porter jobs e.t.c, you will be given shifts more than 20hrs a week. So everyone, endeavour you have money before coming to the UK so you won't default.

SOLUTION

To resolve this problem, apply to a stay-at-home call centre job. The job is only about 4hrs daily from Monday to Friday, 5pm to 9pm.
This is exactly 20hrs. It is very easy as you will just be answering calls. You will have time to focus on your assignment. The job is also a professional job that can be transferred and added to your CV unlike those aforementioned jobs.
You should have quiet space to work at home with a strong WIFI connection. Many other telecommunication companies have these opportunities.

Do not work more than 20hrs a week term time as a student. There is no excuse as your PSW visa will be declined

Sir, also caution them to stop rendering unsolicited advice here, you created this thread for people that have made up their mind already and not for comparison, whomever that want to compare should open a new thread.
They keep talking about tax, atleast you make the money there and pay the tax there, over here people get peanut monthly, pay tax and nothing to show for it.
I don't think the people leaving here are going there to make enough money to buy Man United or Chelsea, they just want to live in a sane environment.
Why all these lower your expectations from Solatium, as if he already knows the mindset of the person travelling.
Whomever like he should use his fortune to relocate his family to abroad, whatever happens he should take it like that, afterall the god's are not to be blame.
Great mod justwise, tell everyone to stop this comparison please.
Thanks.

When I saw your response on my Russia vs Ukraine post which I considered rude,I restrained from replying considering your "good" works in this travel section which I have also benefited from + limited time.

However, I might have reasons to get back at you if you do not comport yourself. What exactly are you driving at? You dug my old post out just to buttress your points. That is totally unnecessary. I am beginning to think you have knowledge but no idea!

keneryhark:
Good day everyone, me and my wife intends to relocate to the UK through the student pathway. From our calculation the amount needed for our prove of fund is #16,866,600. We have a guaranteed accomodation. If we are able to prove we have an accommodation, can the amount required for prove of fund be reduced when apply for Visa? Anyone with a link of who can help with the prove of fund? Kindly quote me with your answer

ensamy:
No, you are still being negative, I was thinking you can atleast mention quality education if nothing else for sure.

ndidibabe:
So many of these people sounding notes of caution are living in UK illegally. Trust me..

ndidibabe:
Una too dey back propaganda. There won't be any war. It's all politics and show of power at play..Russia only want the borders which they will definitely get. There won't be any retaliation except sanctions by the EU and allies.

Like I said, “Average IT support” who is working normal 37.5haaaaaarrrssss per week. If he run night & weekend shift, he’s surely making more than that. Na you wey know wetin carry you go Uk go know how to double your hustle to pay bills till you stand on your feet gallantly.

One with multiple streams of income won’t even feel it. I have an acquaintance in Manchester charging £1k daily as a business analyst.

All these you wrote won’t matter if you strategize well before leaving naija.

Before embarking on this japa process, I had enquire about cost of living and job opportunities, these pays a high role in considering planning of expenses, before choosing schools in these regions, it not just all about applying to any school, but being strategic about it.


Bottom line is, IF you are an IT professional, that’s serious with his career and has a goal, you will never suffer or regret your movement to UK.

uchman:
Actually,
Some people's intentions may just be to make those kind of money
you UK oldies always mention on a daily basis here on this thread...
Most of you guys have already bought/mortgage houses all over UK.
Most of you guys sells pounds everyday, does pounds grow on trees UK?, I dont know.
Most of you guys are house owners in UK, those ones may be enough for most Nigerians, if they can attain that same level in life.
Every step counts...
