He can deposit the money directly into her account, but that's like paying cash and then you'd have zero protection if it turns out to be a scam.

Be careful and patient....listen to your gut and don't allow yourself become a victim.
Banks ususally ask for reason(s) for the payment, so i suggest that the person select business transaction as a reason then rent payment as a reference

I think it's better to stop arguing with people who've never left Nigeria. Only someone who's never lived in the Anglo-West will tell you getting night shift work is difficult or "by luck". Night shift work is the easier to get because most Native born or experienced people don't want to do it. I'm sure this is the case in the UK as it is in the USA. I know because I worked night shift for over 12 years in various jobs.

Not only are the jobs easier to get, they pay better....10 years ago in my industry it was 25% extra pay plus my last employer added $7K bonus if you never miss more than 1 day in a 6 month period. Add to that, many of these night jobs are 7 day on, 7 day off or 4 day on, 3 day off so a willing person can even do other work or overtime on days off. Note too that because of the schedule, taking 1 week off turns into a 3 week vacation. I had many colleagues who did this work so they could take care of their children during the day while their spouse worked.

I tire for these threads always dragging diasporans. It's sad, but I understand the mindset. Nothing to be done except try and ignore them, but some of the claims are just hard to ignore. Downright ignorant.



Reliable data from PwC Nigeria states that 0.5% of Nigerian adults earn over $200K per month in Nigeria. And I know it's accurate by my own first hand experiences and observations.

Good Luck to Nigerians.
That was exactly why i bothered to comment. I'm shocked at the level of ignorant some people display here...i mean even if you can't read and wite there is not excuse.

most night jobs not all
. try to be rational in your thinking.

just cuz we have elumelu and alakija and otedola and tinubu and adenuga in nigeria does not mean all nigerians are billionaires. just cuz we have 100 doctors out of 10000 nightshift workers doesnt mean the nightshift is not mostly minimum wage dead end. try to be a rational thinker if its not asking for too much from you
sukkot:
any night shift job
is a dead end job. stacking shelves, security etc

Which takes us back to why they are stingy. Night shift job is usually minimum wage

you may be lucky to find jobs where he does night shift ( but you know that’s going to be security work dead end job ) while she works daytime , but these things are luck and not the reality for most. The reality for most is that the women have all resorted to being stay at home mums and have all opened YouTube channels ( I know a million of them on YouTube ) to bring in an extra 50 pounds a month
Lucky to get night shift job? What are you talking about? So many companies have night shift work system, train companies, the police force, warehouses, supermarkets, hospitals etc

chief someone has to drop them off and pick them up from school and look after them while you are working. you are clueless


Sorry to say this but i think the clueless person here is you.

I really wonder if you have ever been to the UK before let alone know how the system works.

People work different shifts, Night shift, late morning shift, mid-days start shifts, working from home etc..i mean i can go on and on..

People plan their family runs around those shifts and still survive.

Did you get the visa with hotel booking? No, what they have on record is that you are invited by someone..so who is the person?

Urgent! Urgent!! Urgent!!!
Good day everyone! Please I applied for visiting visa since December 2020 with my wife, my visa was approved and my wife was denied due to misinterpretation. I couldn’t remember the location of the person who sent me the invitation though it was my agent that arranged that for me and unfortunately, the agent can’t recall too. But on my visa tracking, it shows that destination unspecified. My question is, can i go to a different destination rather than my invite location? Although i have someone who can accommodate me at that different destination I mentioned. Please it’s urgent
You don't know who invited you and the agent that supplied the IV does not either? You will be lucky to get through the airport and POE without getting turned back to Nigeria.

Na wa oh, I just pray Nigeria could function properly even half efficiently as Uk.

After my car (2009) got into accident as a result of at-fault driver, I was really stressed and worried about commuting, the following day the insurance brought me a 2022 made Kia as a courtesy car to use pending investigation, although i was told that I will given a courtesy car but the timing and the car type is far above my expectations, because it was delivered quickly.

Was driving on the motorway this morning just to see some few functionalities of the car, I put on the cruise mode and lane assist mode, the car was just driving me without controlling the steering even at corners/curves.

Really feel different.

I just hope this is not a temptation to go collect car for Arnold Clark like this, as most of my friends have been doing.😂🤣😂🤣


You really want that to be one-off expereince? lol

Not necessarily.

You can buy a written off car from the insurance company. So they could have taken her payout for the written off car and then bought the car itself (the insurance companies usually sell them via auction and you can trace a car if you want it) and had it fixed. They would be able to get it back on the road once fixed and recertified, though it’d permanently have the CAT N, S etc label.

That’s way more likely than any garage agreeing to collude to commit insurance fraud, especially a garage that works with insurance companies.


oh yes that means nothing, they do it more often than you can imagined, insurance fraud like this is nothing new. People from certain community do this a lot to reduce their tax liability

I tried to dig for more info, but that was all I could get.Based on my previous knowledge, the steps you enumerated above is the process I knowtoo, so I was very surprised to find out out that insurance could pay directly to you. I actually pasted the scenario to find out if anyone can confirm or corroborate it. She said lots of people she knows have gotten claim like that. Took over two months for investigation though.
I guess the person paid the garages off the record and got a receipt for higher amount for insurance company

I am surprised you are referring someone to agent that run POF when you know it’s not acceptable on this forum. This makes me doubt your genuineness for being here. You even quickly gave out your email to assist a poor fellow earlier. I just hope you are not what I think you are. P.S. Nobody should come to this forum to discuss POF agent here. As far as we, in this forum, are concerned, there is no such thing as POF agent. Please be guided

Cos of the attached pic, i do not k ow who the person is thou, but my agent said they are some new laws at the embassy now and because of that i should attached all the emails i got from the company,, our conversation like interview schedules and all that , i should submit them along , are these really necessary cause i dont want to now over do it ..
Please me respond. Thanks
They simply want to know if you bought the COS , if you got the job genuinely, i mean you applied for job, get interviewed either via zoom or phone then this is a simple case. supply them with those answers. But if you bought the COS then don't bother.

Ohhh ok. Surprisingly I am yet to experience that kind of experience you described with OCTOPUS.

To the best of my knowledge they have a good tariff system (if not the cheapest I know)

. My electricity and Gas combined has never gone pass 80 pounds. And maximum of 40 pounds during the govt subsidy period.


6 of my friends that migrated from other popular providers have been able to cut their monthly cost by over 50%.

You may try to browse through their tarrif and migrate to the cheapest tarrif plan.
