I wonder ooh brother, some people just enjoy catching cruise with other people stories just in the name of "spicing upthe thread", that's very unfair.

I pity the person that brings such here to seek advise from some that don't have joy in their heart.

Life is not uptight when you can make fun of what hurt other people feelings.
I blame the person that bring their private matter to places like this so people like you can feast on it and make unnecessary joke out of it..

He should start looking for sponsorship. If they have kids, he can remain on that basis (Right to family life).
I personally don't see any reason to remain in a toxic marriage just because of a visa.
For those who are speculating that the guy is not pulling his weight, could it also be that the guy had a very good job/business back home and was reluctant to come to the UK but only did due to pressure from his spouse? And then probably he is yet to find something similar ro what he left and unwilling to start from the ground? There are countless stories like that that have caused strains in relationships.
That is very possible and that is why people need to think long and hard before embarking on this journey especially those with good job already in Nigeria.

The wife brought him here.
The wife said she's not feeling supported in all ways.
He agreed to the divorce. He just wants to know if he'll be deported.
That is common especially when husband is the dependant and refuses to take certain jobs just to help with bills or wife's tuition fees.

Like others have said..he needs to find a way to switch to student visa or other type of visas else.....

Guys,

Please I need your perspective.
So my friend came in last year November as Dependent spouse .
Now having issues with his wife.
Like, the wife wants a divorce. He said she's taking step.
He's worried if he'll be sent back to Nigeria.
Honestly, I don't know too. Cos I'm new as well.
Please respond
Is he working hard to support his wife financially while she study full time?

Time to move on, no point going round and round on this. We all have aired our opinions about this.

If anyone wants to continue debating on this please start another thread and continue there.

In your mind you have answered my questions. Now let me tell you the difference between you and the OP.

The OP openly said he will not answer the question, that is from a place of boldness.

You have stylishly dodged the questions, that is from a place of timidity.

I know someone that was in same shoes, wife gave birth a few weeks after they landed. She was able to land a remote customer service role . Funny thing is I got the info from this thread and forwarded to them, hubby who also got a 20hour customer service remote role, also got the link from here.

So worrisome but same behaviour from back home now creeping in here. Another thing that hurts are those ones charging people for information. You come on NL to learn for free, get what you want and next thing you see them advertising one-on-one to 'advise you' eeeeeiiii cheesy Imagine oga Lexus and Justwise monetizing their experience on here ....but meh we all go alright las las.

You will enter Tesco and see all Indians working there, they obviously all shared info with each other and carry each other along. Na only Nigerians go different, hoarding everything smh

Anywhereworks, EE, Crossover and some others people have dropped in the past all offer remote jobs.
Some of them even ship equipment to you before you start to work with them

I wonder what they're trying to code for as if people who want to apply there won't still be scrutinized or dropped if they don't meet certain criteria

Are you surprised that they are doing well in the UK and any other country you found there? Mayor of London, the UK Prime minister, Scottish first minster ...i mean the list go on and on.

Sure, for the sake of argument, here we go:

The guys also stated that he works at a care home and he's not sure whether to quit for this particular job.

Someone may write to the Company saying "The Nigerian you recruited on a 3-month contract works in a care home like me too, so give me a job". Meanwhile, he may not want his Employer to know that detail. I really don't want to stretch how far people can go

My point is: This is an anonymous public forum, people should respect the limit to which people feel comfortable sharing personal data. And no one should be called selfish or talked down on for exercising his right.
How many Nigerians do you think the company recruited? Why do we think so negative like this? Its a bloody company's name, no one is asking for his full name and address.

The way some people talk is very funny. He should share the name of his Employer so people start writing mails to them saying "A Nigerian you just recruited informed me there are openings" or such stuff. Let the guy even start first na. He's answering all other questions but you're calling him out because he's refusing to share personal details of his Employer to complete strangers on a public online forum!

There's nothing selfish about it. The entitlement on this platform is getting a bit much. No one owes you such private information, people share what they're comfortable with and it's very wrong to call them selfish for doing so
Lets assume for the sake of argument that someone actually contacted the company saying...Nigerian they recruited gave out their company's name, what is wrong with that? The job was advertised in indeed which is a public job site.

I can understand if the job was through connection and was not advertised in public at all.

There is nothing selfish about not sharing information a person is not comfortable with sharing. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s still his prerogative. He even said it, that he should allow him resume first. No be do or die affair.
People have being sharing links and company's name here for ages, that is exactly one of the reasons thread like this exist, He got the job already so sharing the link will not cost him the job, the company will not recruit more than they needed just because he shared their names here.

If it was referral link he will be spamming this thread begging people to use it.

It’s not any dangerous mindset, no dey guilt trip people into sharing information they don’t want to share. The person mentioned Indeed, that alone is enough. When he resumes the job, he fit share the info or he fit no share, it’s his prerogative. Abeg live and let live.
Lets not dance around this, the person in question is just selfish, what will happen if he shares the company's name?

That family friend is a gambler and requires rehab......... Who does that....... 🤣😳

Funds you put on the stock market, must be with a long term view....... Even when stocks are under preforming, it's still a floating loss (until you sell a losing position or firm goes belly up).........
As they are funding the stock and share app the bank warned them as frequent transfer set up and a warning alert.

Greediness played a part as well especially with penny shares, there is the tendency to put more money so as to make huge return.

Thanks @Justwise.
Maybe I didn’t put it well enough.
I max out my £4,000 LISA using moneybox and govt has topped up my cool 1k for me on each occasion.

I want to use the sticks & shares as a second (but parallel) way to earn some extra dosh.
I don’t mind if the margin is small, but I want to be buying sticks and shares worth £100 each week.

But I really do not know which ones to buy and which to avoid.
I totally understand what you are trying to do but I suggest you think long and hard about it.

You are safer if you put that amount in any savings account offering 3-4% returns, yes it’s penny but you have peace of mind.

Stocks are shares are long time investment, see it as pension contribution.

Stocks & Shares ISA.

Last year, a veteran on this thread shared a link. I downloaded Freetrade app. I have been saving for house deposit using moneybox LISA.
Now, I am in position to be saving £100 weekly. I would really like to be buying sticks & shares on the Freetrade app.

My problem is, I don’t know which ones to buy. What constitutes intelligent buying. And which ones to avoid.

Honestly if your ultimate goal is to save towards buying a house then stock and share is not the right tool to use considering the risks involved. During the pandemic a family friend was saving to buy a house and they decided to start investing in stock and share while economy reopen. By the end of 2021 they have lost close to £30,000. They have to start afresh again saving
