Sometimes it is painful to realize that we are a blessed people, yet we suffer for the minutest things. I did export business while in naija...charcoal specifically, and I saw hell, before things started to get better and I ran back to start writing "patient was apparently well until 2 days ago ".

When I see how farmers in other African nations don't have to go through these rigours, I weep.

At this point, I don't even mind exploring East Africa.

That's my plan when I'm ready to revisit the business in the future. Someone suggested Benin Republic specifically for palm fruit farming. Nigeria agro industry is for those with either money bags or shock absorbers and huge risk appetite. Talking from experience

Those "if you don't tithe, your life will be tight " messages that some pastors preach nko? All that teaching about the devourer?

One even said people who don't tithe won't make heaven. You can imagine such guilt tripping coming from someone you respect and follow religiously. Yet folks will argue "no one force you to pay tithe"

Another UK topic. Hmnnnn

Just wondering, does it make sense for students to start applying for jobs now given one cant switch to work visa anymore even via sponsorship?

Many organisations, especially the big ones, have long onboarding process. So, it's not too early to start applying especially if you have just a few months to finish. And as someone said up there, attending now will help you prepare better when you finally want to hit the job market actively.

Okay bro. I might as well leave it that way and face the music. My insurance company however said the insurance covers carpet or wall stains by kids and damage to furniture

Can I transfer dollar from my Nigeria UBA dollar account to a UK bank account?

I will be in UK in 20days time and I'm really confused on how to go about transport payment from Heathrow to my destination, house rent payment and tuition enrollment fee. Should I come with cash? Even £ is scare in Nigeria OR I can transfer from my dollar account to UK account when I open one

Elders in the house make una help me the whole japa thing is daunting God abeg

Lasting I'm looking out for couple accomodation anywhere in east sussex

I don't know how UBA works but I used gtb dollar card for weeks before I opened my first UK bank account. I'll also advise you come with some Pounds cash if you can. You can call or visit your bank branch to ask if the card works overseas and what's the rate like for dollars to pounds because for every transaction you do with the card will be converted to pound equivalent

What skill can one bring to the uk, cos I don’t have any handwork, I am looking for something to learn for 3 months cos I want to come in with January intake

What skills do you have already that you can probably brush up? I don't know if there's any skill you can learn and perfect in 3 months. Another question will be how much time would you be dedicating to the learning.

Lexusgs430:


Vehicle mechanic, barber, plumber, sparky, woody etc etc etc.........

In 3 months Haha

What a great read! I've always been inundated with such narratives. Now I know there's a term for it - 'No true Scotsman, No true Christian'........

Not really surprising though, as an average human hates to be wrong even for just once, let alone accepting being wrong.

Eddygourdo:
Hello house,

Please help with information. Is turkish transit visa required to travel from Nigeria to Manchester?

I keep hearing conflicting information. The person travelling has a transit time of 4hours thereabouts and doesn't intend to leave the airport.

Kindly advise for those who use that route to travel.

You don't need a transit visa as long as you are not leaving the airport.

Imagine having 2 kids already as a student and then giving birth to twins


£2900 x 6 = £17,000 on post study visa

The man go first faint

By the time you factor in childcare, the every day stress, sleepless nights and all other things, na to faint ten times within a second ooo

hayesconcept:
Talk to your GP. It’s free the will book you in and ask you the one you like to do. Don’t listen to that woman that suggested withdrawal method. Na twins dey always follow that method comes. If you go land twins for UK

Na double blessing now

There are some of websites that accept YouTube link videos then give you the caption.

Copy and paste into gpt, meanwhile gpt has a maximum of words that can be paste in (can’t remember), but Claude Ai has almost unlimited words it can processed at a time.

But you can copy and paste the result of the generated words and Convert to txt files or docs, then use gpt plus code interpreter feature of to upload files, like docs, pdfs, screenshots, pics etc then ask questions about the uploaded files.

Claude Ai accept YouTube links, but it will reach another video content for you.

Thank you very much. I'll give the options a try. Btw, you can increase the number of characters in Gpt. I recently changed mine from 2000 to 10000. There are other newly rolled out features too like customising it for the kind of results you want from it. Though that's unavailable in the UK at the moment

Schoolhike:


Chat gpt plus (the free version is also good but not as reasonable as the paid version ($20 monthly)

Microsoft Bing Chat - free

Claude Ai - free

Google bard - free

I use all, to have different perspectives on a subject matter but mostly use Gpt plus

(With AI, less time spent in understanding complex concepts/matter, issues, code, quick summary of, pdfs, webpages, YouTube videos instead of spending hours watching, etc )

One quick question please. How do you use ChatGpt for Youtube videos? Do you just paste the link or what? Thanks

That is if you are a residence but if you are a student you can drive with international driving permit for 12 months as it is written on their website. But unfortunately, the information there isn’t according to what the police follows, they follow strictly on been a uk residence not as a student. Which some people have been unfortunate with.

But as a student, you are a resident now, that's why you have BRP (Biometric Residence Permit).

Goodmorning house.

For someone coming to UK for the first time to study can he/she buy dollar and bring it along and change it to pounds in the UK?

Pounds is very hard to get for now and even the dollar is very scarce.

Also what denomination of dollar or pounds can one buy cos some people are saying buying only $1, $2 $5, $10, $20, £1, £2, £5, £10, £20 is the best

Thank you

Getting pounds is the best because with dollars, you will still need to convert to pounds before you can spend in the UK, and the exchange rate isn't that good. But since you said pounds is scarce, I will advise you open a domiciliary account with dollars, pounds and euros in one account. That way, you can buy dollars and convert it to pounds. GTB does that, though I don't know how favourable their exchange rates are for those currencies at the moment. You can just walk into any of their branches and make enquiries about that.

If you know what you want in life no wrong going for it. I was part of the beneficiaries of switch as my wife switched from student to work visa 3 months after we landed despite she paid her school fees complete. She just changed the study to online route and got refunded 3k pounds for switching to online study. Abroad not for slow people cos policies changes all the time.

At least your wife didn't abandon her programme, which makes it a win win for her and her school. And I'm not blaming those who did, only saying it was fair to stop it as it was becoming an issue for many universities. And talking about knowing what one wants in life, some just wanted to complete their course before thinking of jobs or anything else. And that doesn't mean they're slow.

abuhusna1:
If you are planning to switch from student visa to care worker visa or skill work visa, its no longer possible

I think this has been in effect for a while now, perhaps some new adjustments to it made them include it in this new update.

Tbh, I support this. People should at least be ready to complete their studies if they came in on a student Visa. I heard some were even abandoning their studies and switching from the first few days or weeks after arriving, thereby subjecting many universities to profit loss.

And don't you think the fact that they have already achieved this while we are still at the stage of "if" decades, centuries down the line suggests something special about them? I think we should give honour where it's due.

Exactly, very healthy debate and I like the fact that no insults and abuses, just facts and even statistics. I even love those opposing views especially, makes you see and know how others are thinking and seeing things differently from you

Exactly, and the discussion is still within the scope of this thread anyway.

Viruses:
Should we create another thread for "Lamentations in the Uk" or
"How Immigrants are helping the UK" or
"How UK is helping Immigrants "

You people should please na.

Or better still send each other dm and argue over email.

Haha
Life is boring without once in a while vawulence now. It may sound funny but some of us dey enjoy the debate, even sometimes learn from such.
