Suzam: Those fellow students are her village people that followed her from Nigeria. She/you shouldn't really spend more than you can pay off on a monthly basis. With rising cost of living, getting into a debt trap is very easy. 1 Like |

datola:It’s all in stride with today’s world of virtue signalling and being “woke”. It deprives people of their ability to apply common sense. Wishing someone an excruciating death is absolutely crass and disgusting. |

okeysoninv: Which country is offering cheap food and shelter and to who? Don’t say things you don’t know about please. Even employed citizens are falling back on universal credit and other social support schemes to survive. People are resorting to food banks due to inflation and high cost of living. No one is discouraging you from going to the UK, but come with clear eye, don’t think you’re going to get an easy ride as before. PS: if you’re going on a student visa, know that you’re not eligible for any form of government support as that counts as public funds and its grounds to be denied a work visa after school. 2 Likes 1 Share |

CheesyTee: Using biometric apps, I know people who got their response within 3days after they'd done the BRP scanning with the app and picture taken. This is student visa season, so even with priority, I'm not sure how much faster you'd get a response. |

CheesyTee: If you're using biometrics app, why are you going for another physical biometrics capture? I haven't heard of anyone else switching visas who have had to do that. You just scan your current BRP with NFC, take a photo etc. that's it AFAIK 1 Like 1 Share |

I don't understand why you guys are getting all salty about someone calling £22k/yr shyte pay. It very much is!!! But that does not in anyway mean you shouldn't take it if that's the only option you've got. C'mon we are all adults, do we really need to add a proviso or rider to each statement? Not settling doesn't equate to sitting idle and because you haven't gotten a £100k job, you can be contented with your £22k/yr and still keep your eyes on the market for better openings. You don't necessarily have to start from the very bottom of the ladder, even if you do, you don't want to be there too long. Employers don't give a damn about loyalty, find something better and switch up. If you're just coming from Nigeria or haven't been in UK employment for very long, you need to realise that your thoughts and perception are still a bit hazy. You might be comparing your UK pay with the N30,000 private teacher salary you earned in Nigeria and obviously will see the £11/hr pay as big money, but as you move past the euphoria of living in the UK and your taste, lifestyle etc changes, you'll begin to see the reality of things. Pursue the money, chase it aggressively, those earning 6figs aren't any better than you. PS: These personal attacks on people offering their opinions are totally unnecessary though, you can choose to accept or ignore the opinion, there's no need for all the vile. 13 Likes 1 Share |

teeebest: Personally, I'd stay let her stick with the care job that pays her more. With the rising cost of living, you're going to need all of that income. NHS Band 3 pay is peanuts regardless of where you live in this country. She can continue working the care home job, and looking for other openings with higher pay. It's not worth sacrificing much better pay now for sponsorship especially where there's a possibility of getting same a few months down the line. Those with sponsorship right now what are they doing with it? (Y'all don't come for my head please). Enjoy the pay now, who knows if she's a great worker and the care employer is in dire need, they might sponsor her there as well. At the end of the day it's choosing between short term (sure)benefits and long term (uncertain) gain. At the rate the country is going, by the time you're done on a tier 4 visa, you might already be looking at mission japa part 2. 6 Likes |

Amarathripple0: No go dey give too much ginger oh. Everyone is not the same. A wholesome fear of driving in the UK, especially when not accompanied, is not a bad thing. Driving on the opposite of the road can be daunting for some people, before OP goes to do solo driving and jam train I drove for over 15yrs in Nigeria before coming to the UK. I recently drove in US and was struggling to maintain the correct lane, adapting is not easy. 2 Likes |

mizGene: In the case I know of, the insurance was on international license, then the person got a provisional license. Driving solo one thing led to another and then a claim was made etc. etc. Honestly only your insurance provider can answer that question with certainty because I’ve seen this applied both ways. My advice would be to call your insurer, provide them all the information and let them decide and possibly put it in writing. 1 Like |

Amarathripple0: Insurance companies have invalidated people’s insurance where they’ve found them to be driving unaccompanied with a provisional license. The matter seems to be a grey area but it’d seem in most cases the rule is “your provisional, trumps and nullifies your Nigerian license”. You might want to dig into it, if you haven’t already done so. 1 Like |
