It's a rainy miserable day.

I m proposing a motion for debate.

Who do you think was right in the interview between Rufai Oseni and Onokpasa? There's room on the fence too if you want to sit. Just tell us why you think so.

OvertheTop:
Around how much is That in Naira. as of today?

flokii:
You're talking of odd jobs that most UK citizens will refuse to do.. that's like artisan jobs back home in Nigeria. If you expect a highly skilled person to be happy doing those unbefitting jobs, then you ain't wise.

The problem first with most of you is INFERIORITY COMPLEX.. you feel you're less important than the White skinned man, so you see nothing bad in putting your education aside to be serving them likes slaves in order to earn pounds.
Even when things were still good in the early 90s', not all Nigerians in the UK could get decent jobs talk more of now when there is Job scarcity everywhere. Go on Linkedin and see how oyibos package their CVs looking for jobs whereas some of you in Nigeria feel jobs are littered everywhere abroad waiting for you to come and pick up employment letter. Keep deceiving yourself and other naive ones like you.

RosyIsBlessed:
Exactly!! Clearly showing he overstated money he has. In my opinion they should be sending him back to Nigeria for the deceit. Na this kind people dey make the country put strict measures on migrants

It's a 1 bedroom flat. I'm moving in today but have been advised to take the meter reading of the previous tenant and reach out to the energy supplier(EDF) to register my account.

Queenessy:
Hello everyone, please I need your advise as this is my first time moving into an apartment that's not bills included.

Is EDF a good and affordable energy supplier?

Which is better... EDF or Octopus or OVo?

Pay as you go meter or postpaid meter?

Thank you.

The post be like scam, looks like he’s trying to crowd fund with a fake story.

Igbalode123:
Hello, good morning house.
I’ve been a constant follower of this thread and other uk related threads on this platform, had to register a new profile to post this.

Here’s my story, I met my legally married wife on twitter last year December and we both concluded to relocate to the uk with the agreement that I pay half of her fees amounting to £5k. She paid her deposit and in the short run both our visas was out in no time we were both happy and made other plans too.

Now in between all of this I couldn’t meet up with my own regarding her fees payment reason been that I’m a farmer and I crowdfund every season as I don’t necessarily use my personal funds to farm and it has always worked for me until this year and over 15m gone. I was in serious debt today soldier tomorrow police next time court. In all of this I had to sell off over 90% of my effects and assets to pay off about 80% of my debts.

My wife wasn’t having it and she wasn’t comfortable with all of it. One way or the other she took my passport and insisted until I pay her fees I can have it back, I wasn’t really bothered since I was going to pay one way or the other. At one time I offered 1m so I can help her pay the rest over there she objected, she said to make it 2m. When 2m was ready she insisted if I can get 2m then 3m shouldn’t be a problem. It’s been tough and crazy at the same time, Now she wants £3k and this Fx spike isn’t helping matters at all. When the 3m was ready the conversion to pounds didn’t equate £3k and she wouldn’t accept anything less than that because she has to pay another installment 15th of Nov.

Please I need serious financial support in however way anyone deem fit because the vignette on my passport expires 16th of November, I don’t want my efforts, time and resources go to waste just like that. This is the only opportunity for me right now to get back on my feet.

NB: Emphasis on ‘legally married’ because this is a public forum. This is just a brief overview, it’s been a very very long and messy situation and even though I don’t agree with a lot of things she did in all of this I couldn’t even still blame her because I ought to have fulfilled my own end of the bargain before now.

Hello @Justwise

Please help ban

Does this include the remote work that started in Nigeria and is paid to my Fidelity dollar account too? (Client is UK-based).

I need to be clear if this covers freelancing that’s done within UK territory or prior freelancing with Nigerian residential details that serves clients from other countries.

Thewritingnerd:
Good afternoon everyone, quick question: I already had an Upwork account from Nigeria (NB: this account wasn’t active, I just created it and abandoned it) ,

if I were to change the account location and start using it to get freelance work now in the UK, would the hours count towards my 20-limit as a student? Would it be considered self-employment which is a breach of the student visa conditions?

Add: Also, is remote work that I’d been doing for a UK client from back home and I’ve continued to do now that I’m in the uk part of my 20 hours too 🤔

Show us January in the Bible

headofschool:
Whatever first fruit means to you... Bible commands that we bring first fruit of harvest...in any case either you do it annually or monthly it is still the same as tithe and God made it so.

Having been in the UK, I now understand why tithing was an issue to some Nigerians. However if you personally feel it is a rip off, just take that as your opinion.
There are pastors who take advantage of it and get dubious, but tithing was not designed to make pastor richer than members... However some Pastors who have become extremely rich are natural business men who would flourish wherever they work. I might condemn those who sell anointing oil and water but selling books , audios, videos or establishing educational institutions are very justified means of a natural business man be it a pastor or not.

People with so much anger about tithing and enriching pastor should also take bold step to sue home office to stop wasting millions of your tax🤣 to fund Bibby Stockholm's maintenance and illegal migrant expenses...take them to court and direct your anger to a proper channel since you have stopped paying Nigerian pastor's, at least UK compulsory own too should monitored and challenged

koonbey:
Look up to you? Lmao tufiakwa.

I've never said anything about tithe. You see how you keep bringing that up in irrelevant contexts like a toddler throwing a tantrum and determined to be as loud and obnoxious as possible till it has its way?

Anyway, your behaviour does, unfortunately, seem to set the tone for the thread due to your position. I'm sure you won't see that and I'm not really typing this for your benefit - it's for other, hopefully more level-headed people, to calm things down.

koonbey:
You’re being rude and entitled.

The person in question said what they said fully innocently I’m sure and you’ve just read the worst possible motives into it with absolutely no basis. You don’t even know if it’s a matter of timing where they planned to settle down and write something extensive later.

If you want to know, ask. You didn’t, and you just jumped to insults and attacks.

Not sure what has happened to this three as in the past few days but it seems most people have just lost their sense of decorum and people are letting their inner ágberòs out. I guess the mod doing the same is part of what's emboldening people but please try and do better.

babajeje123:
Whether you get paid or otherwise is not my concern. My concern is, just like in Nigeria, having a square peg in a round hole.

babajeje123:
You can as well resign since you are not being paid. Worthy to note that I'm not the only one who found you unfit for this role.

Greenpeasants1:
Na now you come

You wan be Mod

Ha! We no want

Justwise this person wan collect ya position , no gree oh

babajeje123:
Guy, you need to be replaced. Would do that if I had the chance.

babajeje123:
See, I know what you are talking about and I have asked those questions before. The first issue is why Justwise is always using tithe to derail this thread? It's so unfortunate to have him as a mod as he is always failing upholding the rules of this platform once a discuss is against what he stands for. There is a religion section where we all can go to to argue for or against tithing.

That said, you don't disseminate your seemingly truth by insulting others. No one will accept it. You can't also force others to accept your truth as it may be senseless to them. So you can only encourage people to see from your perspective and if they refuse you let them be.

Nanorest:
Why don't you forget anything called Nigeria if you truly don't want to come back

dustydee:
It may be insulting but what if what if it's the truth?
A lot of people that preach it do it either out of ignorance or to scam people. That's why you hardly hear them teach the unfavourable passages about tithing. They also do not tell you that if you obey the law of tithing, you must obey all the other laws or you are cursed (No be me talk am, na bible).
People should study the bible and find out the following:
What is tithe?
Who should pay it?
Who should it be paid to?
How should it be paid?
When should it be paid?
If you start with these questions and sincerely answer them, people will be better informed.
Another potential scam that is creeping into chritianity is "first fruit". I once led a bible study where this was the topic and I could not teach it because the references given in the manual did not in anyway support it and they "twisted" it to fit the narrative. Years later, I attended an oyinbo church and the preacher tocuhed on first fruit and how it was done and my eyes opened. I asked him after the service about paying first fruit and his question to me was "Is it an African thing?" I was the second African to ask him about that. Since then I have not paid it.

Nanorest:
I don't know how people prefer the life here over the one in Nigeria. I think it's just a defence on the syndrome using something like security, good life and others but I am not part of them. My goal is to make money here and establish myself in Nigeria.

I prefer an insecure Nigeria to a secure UK provided there is money. Let's stop deceiving ourselves. Our main motive here is to make money not that we enjoy life here.

MrNovo:
Na waa o.
Oga did you consider the constantly depreciating Naira before asking the bolded question ❓
You have N30m (say £30k at N1000/£) today and all your costs are covered, plans in top shape, then you wake up the next day to N1500/£ and your N30m is now £20k. £10k just vanished and that answers your question of where is that money!!

I know the implied question you are asking fullclub, but everything shouldn't be about fronting blames, afterall last year and before people did that and they were fine getting to the UK because they didn't face the some of the developing harsh conditions the Op is reporting

rinzylee:
Shaaaaaaarrrrrraaaaapppppuuuuu

Please go on twitter and announce it.


You go get ulcer o, because bitterness dey run belle o.


As you no dey pay, has it reduced the flow of abundance coming into the church .??

I will say it again, you are a very stingy man. I am sure you have poor neighbours in the village or even around you here. How many have you consistently been catering for..

Only stingy people cringe when giving to God or Church is mentioned.


Take ya money and go , we no need am.

We like the ignorance.



If you like, allow this hypocrite deceive you.

genkins:
Don't convince me,rather convince yourself by answering these questions.you must not answer here because of the shame..in your quiet moment,try to answer these questions and your chains my be broken..shalom

Without fear, religion will cease to exist but people willingly give out tithe for reasons best known to them. I mean there's a UK Pastor wearing £30K LVs and £300K Patek wristwatches but people will still give the tithe. You really cant help someone who is being scammed until their eyes open, wake up and smell the coffee

I think everyone needs to watch this cartoon "Sausage Party". It's a subtle dig at religion and very funny -https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1700841/

To each his own, your money, your religion, your tithe

As for me sha, I have never paid tithe and I will never give any Pastorpreneur 1 Cent to goan use for Gucci shoes

Gucci sef go fit me na

inphoenix:
Lol. My pastor that year was travelling abroad for a few weeks and told me not to drop my tithe in the tithe basket but hand it to his wife while he is away. 😭😭
