Many more people NEVER heard from God, but pretend to hear (either after consumption of alcoholic beverages or as a delibrate means of deception)........

Religion and SM, are very good if used appropriately ........ Unfortunately, both have been abused and anyone that seems to attempt to drag us back to any sense of reason, gets insulted ...........

When I look back at my friend's marriages and about 60% of them are divorced......... When we chat, they always tell me my marriage was the least expected to stand, considering all the circumstances involved.......

Marriage is indeed a mixture of luck & gamble........

Goodday house,

Please someone should kindly respond to this.

The wife has a business with a shop here in Nigeria and a website. As an applicant, can she continue to run her online business which will include taking order and deliver within Uk while schooling?

Ugmama:
@justwise, It's good to ask questions cos I never knew that having two marriage certificates is illegal in the UK.

Here in Nigeria, couple do marry traditionally, then proceed to court wedding, then summarize with white wedding. It's a norm here which I thought was OK.

Ladies in particular swear they must do white wedding even after they must have done trad and court wedding.

It's just societal influence and peer pressure , my intent is just to make my wife happy. That's why I asked if it was possible to do white wedding in UK, after we had wedded in court and done traditional rights in Naija.

Thanks for all inputs. We learn, unlearn and relearn!

Ugmama:
@mimilyrics You understand this well, she really wants to wear the wedding dress, slay and snap pictures shikena. That's her happiness.

@justwise yes many people I know did trad, court marriage and white wedding.

Ugmama:
I guess you the only one that understood my question. Thanks hommie.

I will save your moniker

mimilyrics:
More like a court wedding and a garden wedding-like ceremony that doesn't require any legalities.

The white wedding is technically a westerners white/legal wedding but many Nigerians, especially the ladies, don't see it like that hence, the need to want a court wedding, traditional wedding and white "aka church" wedding.

The "white" wedding per the above scenario may be planned to be a garden party with the bride wearing white, with a "pastor" officiating nd the attendees treating it like the main wedding. Example of this
1. Annie and 2baba's Dubai beach wedding.
2. Annie and 2baba's 10th year renewal of vows ceremony in SA.

Many ladies have always built up ideas of how they want their wedding ceremonies to be and when they have registry weddings without an after-party, they feel like they've been cheated out of getting married and they feel like they are not truly married till they wear a white wedding dress for a "white" wedding.
Many ladies in Nigeria do this and feel this way.

This is just me trying to see from the dependant's point of view since getting legally married to the same person twice, irrespective of the situation, is impossible except a divorce is 1st effected.

mimilyrics:
She probably wants a ceremonial party which most people who have quiet ceremonies usually want. This is my guess based on the circumstances explained. This will afford her the opportunity to take the amazing wedding pictures with a wedding gown that she didn't take during her court wedding
Any other "wedding" won't fly since they are legally married already.

Our ogas and madams in the UK..

Bikonu, ejoor , make una dey tell us some of the dos and donts to observe in the UK, make person no enter wahala.

3 stories that sent shivers down my spine.

1, An African nurse was praying for a patient. She ended up losing her license.

2, A Nigerian couple went to jail cos one of them flogged their son.

3, Someone while being robbed of her phone fought back and injured the thief
The police still charged her.

Recently got a job offer in the UK... wouldn't want my name to be on the criminal record. Very difficult to get a job with that.

Slimluvs:

claremont:
It's actually what the data and research into this issue says, not my opinion. A contrary argument might be for people to generalize, without evidence, that black kids are more prone to violence as compared to white kids.

claremont:
Unfortunately, if a racially biased stop and search policy was a solution to black on black violence in London, it would have since solved it. This isn't the case. Black on black violence in London and other major cities is mainly due to social deprivation in inner city communities and institutional racism. A child of a single parent living in a 2 bedroom flat in a run down council estate in White city, Hammersmith doesn't think the same way as a child with 2 parents acting as role models living in a 4 bedroom townhouse in Westminter.

There was a time many years ago when Glasgow was the epicentre of white youths stabbing themselves. It wasn't addressed by random stop and searches. It was addressed by investment in the inner city communities where this violence takes place, role modeling etc

Hi Guyz,

My brother is married with three kids and he is planning to migrate to the UK on an education visa. He is a chartered accountant with a masters degree already but his wife has Bsc. The kids are between the ages of 1 to 5yrs. He has been asking some questions which I can't answer.

1. Who should apply for the education visa? Him or the wife?
2. How much will it cost for IHS for the family?
3. Concerning children's education, is it free in the UK?
4. What type of visa will be dependants apply for?
5. Which university and state can he or she apply to that is not too expensive?
6. Should they are granted the visa, how can they get an affordable flight?
7. Since the objective is to Japa ultimately, how can it be done, since they traveled on an education visa.
8. He is also considering Canada. Which of UK and Canada is the easiest?
9. Any other advice will be well appreciated?

Please those that are knowledgeable should kindly assist.

Thank you for your anticipated response.
