It’s actually not seen as a cash withdrawal. I dey withdraw from my PayPal with my Amex when I need urgent cash and I’ve never been charged. It’s seen as a regular transaction and not a cash withdrawal and it doesn’t incur any charges, all they need to do is select the card when they want to send the money to someone on their PayPal list and select Family/Friends for the transaction. It also doesn’t affect anyone’s credit score as long as they say within the 25% spend on their total available credit.
Do you just add your card to PayPal and Initiate the transfer within the PayPal app?

Lol - prepare to collect your much reduced state pension in your 70th decade or thereabouts. If the thing lasts that long. For me who just came to this country in my 40s with children, living and working in the south-east, my roughly outlined plan is to retire when my last employer throws me out and nobody else wants to employ me, then live off whatever occupational pension I will have accumulated, then, if there is no state pension, book a free NHS assisted death and a Co-op cremation when the workplace pension is finished.
How about retiring and returning to your motherland?

I find this thread of discussion rather disrespectful to all the women on this thread. (It sounds alarmingly close to beer parlour talk)

You wouldn't like it if I reduced men to their parts and started a discussion on that here now,would you?

I m sorry if it feels like I m picking on you. I m not. I thought it would just be the 1 aberrant comment but it seems to be dragging on and on.

@rock86 it's bigoted to apply a broad brush to all the members of a group. If the British had applied that to Nigerians you wouldn't be here. You have to relate to people one on one to make a judgement.
What’s wrong about me saying a woman has ukwu ?

It's fine to start your practical lessons while studying to retake your theory. In fact the practical lessons should help with the hazard perception and other elements you might be struggling on as a good instructor should be teaching you to identify hazards along the way. It's personal preference, the only legal requirement is that you pass your theory before you take your practical test.

Is the vehicle electric? I think £40ph is an average/ good price at the moment.

However I would recommend you do a trial lesson with him before committing to 10 lessons, so you get a feel for his teaching technique and you can also ask him to estimate how many lessons he thinks you might need after he's assessed your driving.

Also ask him about his availability - ideally you want to take lessons during daylight hours and also when it's dark so that you are comfortable driving at night.
I agree with this rhetoric. Most trainers are out there for your money especially “our people”. He should book a 10hrs slot and see if he/ she is a good trainer.

You are allowed to have your thoughts most assuredly. If I got 5m naira monthly in Nigeria I would not come here.
Rent is once a year. She pays her 7million out of 60million and is sorted. Rent is monthly here, this already makes both unequal to compare.
Iphone will not be bought every month. School fees is also not paid in Nigeria every month for 12 months.
Little or no tax in Nigeria. What is better about the Uk in terms of her starting salary? Nothing. Other luxuries would come easy and cheap.
Can she afford a driver, child minder, nanny and cook on the NHS starting salary as a nurse and still pay rent, council tax, water, electricity and cost of living in the UK from roughly £2300? NO! She can easily afford her luxuries every month in Nigeria and still be ok and have her family support childcare with a net of 5 million and no sweat. Her husband would also be working and bringing in his own income.
Only the childcare issues alone in the UK with children aged 5 years and 7 years and her shifts… she will start her cries..
yes there is insecurity in Nigeria but most people here still have majority of their families living in Nigeria, let me assume they dont care about their families—> most still have their biological parents living in Nigeria with the insecurity, what makes her different from your parents that are still living in the midst of this very drowning insecurity even though it breaks our hearts but we can not do anything ? Why is her own the highlight?
@nursegrace if the 5 million naira job is certain, take it!!!! It is a good sum to come in monthly for a WOMAN living in a low income, low taxed country like Nigeria. I am talking real life situation here, not internet. Your husband would easily be able to financially support his home.
Your workload in Nigeria can never be compared to the workload of an NHS nurse who still needs to go back home and be a wife and a mother. The burnout is real from all fronts.
For me, I can not compare a monthly take home of £2300 in the UK to that of 5 million naira in Nigeria and choose UK. I would be telling lies to you as I have earned way more than twice your NHS starting salary in here while going to work every single day completely burnt out but still showing up and in hindsight I would take a 5m option to live in Nigeria with my luxuries if I could. Easily affordable and accessible childcare for starters!!! . At least I would enjoy this 5m for the next one year first smiley
Leave no room for regrets. This typing space is too small for me to write everything.
You forgot to add the part where she and her family can be kidnapped for living in affluence or driving a nice car. Hanty uk is better than that hell home for now.

Stumbled upon these and decided to share. Deferential attainment and its drivers always fascinate me. Good thing the UK has reasonable data on this.

We are a bit above average when it comes to GCSEs but lag quite a bit with housing.

With GCSEs, good grades are nice but also important are mentoring (i.e what couse/uni/apprenticeship), exposure, links and soft skills

Housing OTOH is good baseline for wealth in this country. Without this, other levels of attainment are more difficult. We lag quite well in this. Granted, we did not arrive as early as Caribbeans and some Asians hence did not benefit as much from council houses buyout cheaper housing 20yrs + ago. Over that period, lots of wealth was built in housing. Difficult to say where future wealth would be built but like with most life issues especially finance, he who already has is more likely to have more.

Going forward, if few Asian countries continue compounding at such rate, it'd be more difficult to argue discrimination as a reason for affirmative action.
Na 10k for deposit be my target as we speak. Rent money is truly dead body money 🤣

Hi guys,
I don't know if some of you still remember my issue with my Landlord that pull my room door off and also change the keys to enter the house on November last year.

Well the woman is still withholding my properties since then o..
After she changed the house keys, I couldn't get into the house so I have to look for any accommodation I can find as soon as possible and thankfully for me I found one which I quickly took and have been staying there since then. The woman do not only change the keys but instead she went ahead and block me from calling her both on WhatsApp and direct calls..
Going to a year now I have been managing myself as much as I can..

The council referred me to an agency that can help me to take legal actions against the landlord but since then nothing have been done , though 3 months ago he wrote me to come and sign the statement which I did but till now nothing..
Though when I went to sign the documents they ask me if she has release my properties I told him NO, and he sent me a link I can use to contact *justice for tenants * which I have already contacted them and they wrote to the council to get details of the house to know if the landlord got HMO licence, still haven't had anything from them yet for a month now..(they said the landlord will pay me 1 year of the rent I paid if she has no HMO licence)

Am just wondering if there are any other way I might be able to get help as soon as possible,
She's holding my deposit, also my properties plus forcefully evicted me from the property, not to mention all the harassment and mental stress I went through in the hand of this yoruba woman witch...

Hi fam, been a while here. My former agent has been posting me for over 6 weeks now, he refused to return my deposit. Just promises. I've heard from people that he never willingly returns deposits. It's £675 and I feel that money can do something good somewhere. And worse still, I found out he didn't even protect the deposit.

I've read some procedures online, including court fees etc. it's discouraging, considering the relatively small amount of £675. I'll appreciate any help from experienced members here. Cheers.

Some Naija guys just dey fall hand anyhow. Too bad.
You go dey pity dem by not wanting to take legal actions, but them no get conscience at all.
