Hi Guys

So i wrote with IDP and my scores are LRWS; 8.5,7,6.5,9

Has anyone requested for a remarking with IDP
for their writing and if yes did your score increase by 0.5.

I'm surprised i got a 6.5 when i wrote perfectly well.

Did it eventually change?

My recommended resources after wasting time on studying many.
It's better to stick to a few than perusing everything you came about.

Reading: ieltsliz.com, ieltsadvantage.com, Reading Bible, YouTube resources, Cambridge 10 to the last.

Listening: ieltsliz.com, ieltsbuddy.com, Cambridge audio

Speaking: ieltsliz.com, ieltsadvantage.com, ieltsbuddy.com, makkar speaking guess work, YouTube, Telegram speaking group

Writing : ieltsliz.com, ieltsbuddy book on task 1 and 2, Cambridge 11 to 18, chatgpt, YouTube.

Useful YouTube channels: FastTrack IELTS, ielts Jacky, E2 preparation.

In all, practice, practice and practice. Without practice, you won't be at your optimum on exam day. Trust me.

For reading practice, try to print out the Cambridge materials especially if you would be doing paper based. Reading on phone is different from reading on paper. This messed me up on exam day as it was strange answering the reading module while on paper.

My result is not out but I feel I should share this.

If I were to do this again, I would start by studying the module(speaking, listening and reading) for 2 weeks each, then move to writing Task 1 2weeks and Task 2 for 2 weeks.
After that I would dedicate 2 months for practice

Practicing is valuable than watching videos or reading books for tips. But practice after you have gained sound knowledge of what's required.

Message support@newworkssolution.com with proof of payment and your details.
Did you make payment through paystack?
Had similar problem.

Yes, paystack.
They eventually resolved it by marking the transaction successful

henroo2003:
Good morning all,

Whats the outcome of this

Omo,there's a failed transaction and I was debited.
Should I try again or what till they reverse

The site was down throughout yesterday evening.
It's working now.

ekitimanalways:
The last time I checked, NIS didn't request applicants for Nigerian passports to upload certain documents…

For passport application visit: https://passport.immigration.gov.ng/application

https://passport.immigration.gov.ng/

The site is not working or is it my phone?

Let this stink into your dirty skull. Nigerian trained Doctors are considered second known to India trained globally and they are sort after in the world.
No wonder foreign trained doctors when they come back to Nigeria couldn't pass their induction exams to practice in the country .
I still say ,their back ground was faulty because check their school cert out...all na private center A1 certificate ..no wonder they couldn't make just 150 in Jamb but they prefer to go and study medicine with their parents stolen loot in Sudan ,Cyprus or Russia. Definitely not in America.
Make your 300 above in Jamb ....You are sure of Admission in UI.
Or carry your 150 score to Cyprus .
No wahala . No be fight ok?

Stop quoting, failed child

My experience at Osogbo Passport Office, DIY

My biometric capturing was scheduled to hold on 25th of September, network was very bad this very day,
my appointment was 12noon, Firstly, I was directed where file was raised for me, it was at this junction one
immigration lady said that am going to pay administration fee of #10k, I told her no money ;

Then, the waiting begin bcus of network issue. We waited till evening, (I prayed a lot that the network be restored ), at the end.
everyone present was told to go and come back tomorrow being 26th, I lodged with NCCF Osogbo,
was actually coming from Ife- Central, (Corps Member).

My observation: there was nothing like discrimination between DIY or those using immigration officers,
(I think those that employed the service of immigration officers were attended to in coded manner)
and all the process where really fast.

Because of lot of tales I heard concerning Osogbo Immigration Office, was expecting my passport to
be ready in the next six (6) month. but low and behold GRACE FIND ME, it was ready for
collection Nov 9th, it takes them 33 working days to produce my passport.

however, I received a message on Nov 18th. that my passport was ready for collection.

One thing that amuse me was that; someone told me that Passport Immigration Officers
came to my house to ensure that I actually leave there, and God mount an Angle that
attended to them, is strange though.

Note, I prayed a lot, asking the Lord to go and fast track it for me and that is what he did,

WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST.
I GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY,

All thanks to everyone here, I gathered all the information and processes from this platform,
also, thank you to someone special in our midst, @Mademan01, I dropped my number
seeking for clarifications and he reached out to me and has been guiding me all through.

Osogbo is really fast, I meet people from Lagos that came to optain there passport here in Osun State.

MAY GOD GRANT US HIS BLESSINGS ON THIS JOURNING OF FAITH.... AMEN.

You people must put religion inside everything

1972xy:
Oga, this is not the issue of politician ..ok?
These people did not pass Jamb to gain admission into Nigeria Universities. But, because their from a wealthy homes, they have option to travel abroad to study.
So, do not blame our politicians for their failure

You are dumb 8f you still have this mentality. Poverty mentality that makes you people think people who attended private universities and schools abroad are Rich and failed JAMB.
You scored 300 in JAMB but we're given Botany, and same person went abroad or private university, does that mean such had failed?
Take your brain and visit a psychiatrist.
And mind you, even having 200 in JAMB is more than enough for you to be a doctor, Medicine is not about 400 in JAMB but about the interest, dedication and consistency in studying in medical school. Reason you will see someone with 250 graduating without a single resit or repeat but see someone with 330 failing out.
JAMB is basically for admission, it has nothing to do with intelligence or who will become a better professional. Use your brain, it's not for decoration

After following this group for 3 years, I now have my passport. Did DIY, got it in 6weeks.
Time to exit. Thanks to everyone

Onajite123:
Amen!
I was able to contact NMC UK and I found out that they've not received my verification.
Does anyone here have a contact in NMCN for me to call?

NMCN has been having this issue for long time. I think nurses need to protest

UnproudLife:
So it happened that at this certain time, I was running a lucrative business that had so much cashflow., to the tune of about 2-4m monthly and I married my long-time girlfriend whom I disvirgined and had been dating for 7 years.

The moment we married and started the family journey, I tried making conversations about having a core family standard that would make harmony stand the test of time. Note that I am a man who is disciplined and goal-oriented. So first I approached my wife with a conversation on how to both make meaningful contributions in getting the family from point A to B at all times, to be more detailed, one of the conversations we had was about our finances because I also mentored her in the same business and she was raking in cash as well and was profitable.

I asked her that we make it a habit of both of us making contributions, having a certain joint account where we drop in cash from a certain amount we make sure we get paid monthly from our businesses. This was because while I was a reasonable spender who knows that if I go broke nobody got my back in the whole wide world. I'm the kinda person who when I spend, let's say for example, 200k just knows I'm worth times 30 of that but even with that I didn't have a concrete structure in business, I just spend money or do things as though my business was an extension of me, which the same was my wife's as well. And this was the reason I wanted us to make the conversation and also do things together. So I told her when we get paid monthly from our businesses we send a certain percentage of it to a joint account to run the family and if I was doing let's say 70k she should do like 30k because, with all honesty, I valued her business at if not half of mine or slightly above it was close at the time. And this was immediately we got married oh.

I was met with strong refusal, as she told me I married her and it was my duty to cater for everything, but as a patient person that I am in not making my judgement rashly I kept trying to convince her. I did till when it dawned on me that we was stern with her objection. And then this created in me a sense of deep selfishness from my wife and also note that I wasn't ever nosey about her income and even though I had a way to access her accounts to monitor Everything I wasn't interested and I was being the sole provider in the family while I watched my wife spend her money how she liked, making decisions that should involve me with her sister and calling some things to surprise me, and I don't mean it negatively.

It happened that i started a project in building a house 3years before we married which I'd credit to her sisters's advice and by the time we married we were already done with the roofing, remaining plastering and the rest. We were living at a very moderate house in town but had this project at a suburb in lagos which we all know that as a lagosian is still Lagos but only that the area would be less expensive. So at a time we were planning moving to a better apartment in town when her sister and her friend advised we pour money in completing our own place to move in. After much convincing I agreed and God blessed the most during this period in business so I had a dream house kind of finishing to the interior and we moved in.

During this time we were managing living at our business place because I was still accommodating her in my business space and we lived there and went home ones or twice in 2 weeks as it was easier with my driving. We then had a certain disagreement that made my wife without my agreement move her business and everything to that house and the area sighting her sister advicing it be done. I winked at it for peace to reign and because I wasn't a fool. Sorry without having to correct what I typed up there, this was the real account of what happened. When we had our first child she moved directly there and I went home weekends while running both businesses with me just directing her staffs and guiding them with discipline. We all know when you leave business for strangers it's OYO but all that doesn't mean I was also having access to her money, the money went to her while I managed the business.

This also was playing out while we dated and got married in how she never likes making any expenditure in even the cost of executing her jobs, and she would rather blackmail which I don't buy and because at those times I stick to mindset in business she'd rebel and take rash decision that would later backfire. So that was how she came one day and moved her everything to the area where we built saying her sister advised it.

I was a faithful man, a born again personality who ever since I gave my life to Christ about 5years to our marriage I stopped having fornication even with her or anyone and till that point in the marriage. So as she had moved, ye little things I knew in her business started diminishing while I was running the family financially. But this lady was always making me feel less than a man because she was so so not submissive even though I married her with the us being both core Christians and born again where she was even more fired up than me so we all knew submissiveness was the watchword but she wouldn't sub to it at this point and when I was home she'd make life miserable for me shouting in an area that the voice travels far, insult my life telling me that she regretted marrying me because I was a person who just wouldn't budge and I used to say I don't "think" as in the thinking that leads to depression and I guess this was why she wasn't having it. I always found ways to channel my thoughts to things positive that gets me going and even forgiving her on time while she sometimes take days to stop keeping malice.

This lady graduated to the aspect of telling me she stooped so low marrying me and I could go out and meet other ladies that she wouldn't even give a damn, and this went on for a long time. Without exaggeration, I myself was someone that in her words she feel for initially because of my looks although I was 5"7 and she like 5"6 in height which isn't that short for a man. I knew how young in thought and look I was when I start taking care of myself and dressing nice again and without a doubt an handsome man, so it got to a point I said to myself I've had enough. At this time I was already lusting at my spec in ladies out there in which I married her like but she refused to remain at. I brushed off and even while being in my early 30s I had several ladies saying I looked 23-26 in age and I started meeting ladies and having affairs with multiple through platforms and it was mind-blowing to me because they were telling me I looked better in person even though the profile pictures I had were compelling themselves. So I had several young ladies wishing we were dating for real but u didn't want that and wouldn't lie to get them laid with promises but the only lie I told was that I wasn't married neither with kids which some weren't even suspecting not to talk of asking such. But something was just not clicking with the way guys if this age behave when I relate with them and this is when we have more deeper relations and then they start sensing the nature of responsibility which makes them ask if I was married.

So at this point I said to myself, I was separated from my wife and I told her in several occasions because I wasn't going home as often as before she noticed all the changes in my looks but cared less. I was so far gone in having other ladies that I didn't even know what could ever make me wanna get back with her again. But in all these I was still a man who doesn't believe in divorce, which is what I always tell her made her misbehave. Then lemme note this. I was so far gone playing churchy Al these years I never knew the age had turned around and ladies were now so much for sale, I could remember hearing the word hookup for the first time 2 years ago when I had started contemplating cheating and I turned so many girls down on those platforms when I understood what hookup meant. I mostly kept them friends online for whining and all and I went off without meeting anyone until last year, that same last year by almost the middle of the year I had my first encounter with a lady who was almost begging I had s*X with her right in my car as the car was tinted at the back, and this was while being friends. I refused and explained I had never done it before. But a month later I started getting in the act until miraculously this year at mid year I had been longing for a change in lifestyle when I got the gift of repentance right in church and I just at this moment didn't care what my wife had ever done to me, I just forgave her in my heart, asked for forgiveness from God. Then it has been happening lately by then that she had been begging me and her sister was saying she in the person of my wife was already fed up and wanted to beg back in good terms with me but you know basking in the love of flesh I wasn't into it and knowing she was the kind that goes back to her vomit. But at this point I determined to make her come where I was and then we reconcile. But shortly after I did restitution with her and told her all I had done and what she made be go into but to my surprise she was so disappointed crying and telling me all sorts which was surprising to me because I expected this woman should have already seen the writing on the wall because I don't know how to pretend at all but she said she never suspected that she knew I was a Christian. Although I played a clean game but was was obvious was the fact that I changed in looks and all and shouldn't that be glaring. And now she only sober occasionally when the thoughts kicks in

My main problem now is that, while my first child is a copy of me, I started seeing the looks of my sister in law's last born in my last kid, which my mum has vaguely noted and I seconded. We can't even nurture the thought as we just said it. But personally each day I now stay with the kid I keep looking the semblance and thinking what if my bro in law which is my sister in law's hobby fathered this child. You see that would have out the child conception at about 3 months before I ever started having affairs outside marriage. I just wish to know what you guys think because I haven't even been able to ask any question relating to that as my wife just seem to off to ever fall into such.

Please ignore any typo as it was long and I'm trying to get by with a new course and it'll be hard to go through what I've written again. Pardon me

Your English is annoyingly terrible

kumbhuru:
Please o, what's required for passport collection and can you collect 8n behalf of someone

Ekitimanalways

pretty1986:
Very seriously,so alternatively is to enter uk through study route with your IELTS and CBT results and then pay and write OSEC in order to obtain UK PIN,with that you can easily get Job offer, though you can't switch until you finish your study,but the point is that you will easily get Job offer as many as possible.

And that's super expensive. If I had such money, I wouldn't bother with anything UK. Since USRN is the goal.

ChisomFav2000:
I passed IELTS when I didn't even read, at a time, I was tired but hubby gave me confidence. I don't know how they mark this exams oooo the last one I passed, I didn't even read anything and not confident in what I wrote.

Hmm, I've always said that exams is a funny one.
If you don't want mind, can you point me to site that talks about how to write supporting statements and CV? You can even help me with yours

osato45:
My wife just passed her council exam and now a registered midwife. Which route would she follow to be gainfully employed as a midwife in US or Canada

How far now?

ChisomFav2000:
Wait until you pass IELTS before writing CBT. Because CBT is easier to pass than IELTS.

I wrote IELTS 5times before I was able to combine my results but CBT is just once.

5 times! God abeg. I am confident I would smash it at the first attempt but incase it goes south, which I forbid by God's grace, that's the end!!!!

I guess reading gave you problem?

ChisomFav2000:
Application is a straight forward thing, no one will ask you about the mental health certificate. The only thing NHS Foundation trust is concern about is your IELTS results and CBT Results (You must choose mental health when registering for CBT). If you haven't passed the above mentioned, don't apply.

It's ok then. Thank you.
Sitting IELTS and CBT soon.

ChisomFav2000:
Am also a registered nurse, I only worked in mental home in the early stage of my carrier in Lagos state and during school days when we went to clinical training, but I wrote my CBT in mental health because you can get job easily as a mental health nurse that a general nurse. I have gotten job sha and am waiting for my COS.

Please can I use my RIN book, the part of mental health posting to show evidence of training? I also did mental health posting during internship and I signed log book for it. Can I photocopy or scan those sheets and add to my applications or there's no need??

Wow. This is encouraging.

Cleo18:
Qualified and registered mental health nurses needed.
Must have passed IELTS and CBT.

Must be single. It is not for married nurses please.

If you are married, do not contact me.
If you are single and qualified, send me a private message via email.

Is it by force to do fake marriage? Rubbish

giselle237:
Paying for mental health registration to who?

nmc uk of course. Are you a nurse?

bns4eva:
Sincerely, i understand your situation, i would advice you and your wife should keep pushing and be prayerful.
My younger sister applied for over 1000 jobs on tracjobs before she got 4 job offers in April.

First, apply jobs in carehomes too, they also give sponsorship.
Go to nhsjobs.com , apply to the trusts like Frimley nhs, Bath, East london Nhs, Lancashire nhs, Walsall,Dorset,hampshire nhs,Berkshire hospital trust,bromley healthcare nhs etc.

You can also apply to Nhs scotland, they give sponsorship too.
Nurses are getting offer everyday.

It doesnt worth it to come to the uk with a study visa when you can get COS for free.
when you come to the uk with a study visa, you will pay for osce exam by yourself and osce exam is expensive. You pay for the training also and you wont get any reimbursement from the hospital which they may take you as an agency nurse(they can terminate your appointment anytime).

See what you will benefit when you wait., You will be reimbursed on everything you spent so far, ielts , cbt,. They will pay for your flight, they give you 1month accomodation, some nhs trust give 3months accomodations, pay for osce and training.
My advice is , just keep applying, check your supporting statement and your cv. Try to impress when you are given chance for interviews.
The journey needs patience and perseverance.

I believe they are deliberately doing away with employing Nigerians. People are having their CBT and IELTS results expired

Goodly1:
Hi, are you the one who once asked here about the possibility for sponsorship for MH nurses from Nigeria?
When you say Trust, do you mean an NHS Trust?🤔 I doubt that an NHS Trust would request money from an applicant in any guise, let alone chatting you up on WhatsApp.
Ensure you apply via NHS jobs website, and that you're dealing with NHS Trusts directly, not agencies. Most NHS Trusts even offer a full relocation package to RNMH, because it's a hard-to-recruit field. You can request that as well if you're successful, it's not too much for a RNMH.

Hello. I am about paying the 140 pounds for mental health registration. I am not a mental health nurse but I was advised against adult nursing.
My fear is, after passing ielts and cbt, would there be issues? This one that jobs seems scarce and this is just November. How much more next year?

Sol4u:
I was at Ibadan immigration office today for my passport renewal, I was hoping that I will prove you wrong thinking that they will adjust and work with Hon Minister vision but believe me it worst that what anyone can imagine, their level of Extortion and black market registration is incomparable, I got there 9am this morning with all my document ready, they keep bringing in new file of those they have collect extra 20k and put our own file aside I eventually capture by 3:30pm. Hon. Minister should please look in the high level of Extortion in ibadan immigration office which cut across the rank and files.
While other immigration offices has improve in their service deliver for DIY, Ibadan immigration office has choose to thick with the old ways of frustration and Extortion of applicants.

I know of someone who captured since July, non DIY yet haven't collected. Always stories.
You would have gone to Oyo town
