Hello guys,
Is it possible to top up your tuition fee with like £500 just to reduce ur bal on POF after making complete initial deposit? (Asking for a friend)

Thanks

Yes you can. But make sure you have an updated cAS before you apply for your visa.

Chreze:
Here is what I have realized as a Nigerian who grew up in Nigerian did some study abroad and visited some other countries for vacation. (Make I buga small as Nigerian wey I be grin)

As Nigerians, we are all about being “Right” hence the reason why we can’t have conversations without argument, abuses and fights. We always want to be heard (I think this is because we have been oppressed for so many years by leaders, from the British to past and present Nigerian leaders). This has made everyone (almost) always wanting to show their level of education and intelligence even at the expense of sounding rude and abusive.

I have had conversations with people from other countries and what’s always important in their conversation is “Learning” and giving “Advice”. They speak more from experience and when it’s “hear say” they quote and make it know it’s “hear say” or “I read”. But for us Nigerians, it’s quite different, because we respect our uncle that told us that thing, we are ready to fight or abuse another with that information (forgetting that this elderly ones this days lie a lot). The whole UK tread has been arguing and fighting all week for things that I shud share my own experience or hear say and you share yours too. But we tend to insult people or trample on their personality just cos we think we are right. Being in UK for years doesn’t mean you know it all, and I know as human we sometimes feel little or small when someone who just joined seem to know more than us, but you don’t have to always respond to your feelings. In conversations just have an open mind to things. Give advice and that’s it, it’s up to the person to use the advice or let it go. You can’t force people to believe in things you believe in. Ask yourself why countries outside Nigerian live with gay, lesbians and trans, it’s not because everyone accepts it, it’s because you have to respect people’s decisions and not bash them. Yes your religion is against it, but your religion is not the only one in the world and you can’t force anyone to a religion.

That said, I plead that we Respect other people’s view in life, you may not agree with it, but just respect it and not run them down for it. This has lead to people not sharing new informations and updated information here because they fear one old papa will start to run them down and trash them. For me, I think it is more of English to me and not how other sites does theirs. “Currency I have” (maybe any currency, usd, pounds, euro or IRN, but in this case naira cos that is what I have) and “Currency I want“ ( could be anything, but in this case, pounds, cos that’s the money I want to get with the naira I have). Remember that this oanda site is used by every other part of the world and not just Nigerians. This has got nothing to do with living in UK, being a professor, an accountant, medical doctor, Maths teacher or even a first class graduate. And I understand why someone will be disappointed by masters applicant having this difficulty, and that is because we made it “Argument” instead of “Conversation”.

Please let’s learn to respect each other, that’s the only way we can share ideas and grow.

Blessed day to everyone.

Boom!

600 years of happiness for you brethren.

I wonder how many people would be calling for LeBron's head if he scored 10 points in an elimination game

Right. I liked how everyone pretended like the 10 points didn’t happen. grin

To his credit, man had 41, then followed it up with 34 and 30.

Na wa o. Wahala for who no Sabi use Oanda currency converter. The only conclusion here is one should work with the one that is higher to be on the safer side. For me though "the currency I have" should be in British pounds and the currency I want should be in Naira. Even if you want to do a quick conversation on Google you start with how much is a dollar to naira not how many naira would give you a dollar when you don't even know the original conversation rate in the first place. If your way of doing it is the later then you must be one of those people who launches a new toothpaste by pressing the top not even the middle. Like how is it even possible sef? You don't know conversation rate of a pound to naira and you want to start by inputing naira first when it should be the other way round to get the conversation rate.

Don’t speak on what you know nothing about.

If you are not sure of something, it’s better you ask than concluding you know something that you aren’t sure of.

What am I not sure of?

You better recognise who you’re dealing with. I’m not some newbie on here. Check my previous posts on U.K. student visa threads so you’ll have a picture of who you’re trying to go back and forth with.

You just testified about your visa days ago. Enjoy your trip to the Uk and don’t test my knowledge on this.

I am happy you pointed this out and backed it up with the numbers. This is perhaps one of the issues/ narratives associated with playing alongside LeBum. Kyrie was not carried by LeBum to that title, he played just as hard and was just as influential throughout that series especially after they went down 3-1.. Likewise, it would be diabolical to say LeBum was carried by Kyrie to that chips don’t think anyone has remotely thought so.
This narrative is the reason I was insistent on detailing my boy A. Davies numbers from the regular season to the post season to the finals for posterity purpose. This is because I know how people can suddenly develop selective amnesia.

Anytime I go back in time to watch that finals, it just makes me so happy that I got to witness greatness. Both of them went bunkers!

That series tells me, “anything is possible” . (In my KG voice) grin

Baba, since you have arranged your visa and ticket, I would advise you to go.. but don't have the intention of overstaying when ur visa expires unless you are fortunate to find an employer willing to process your residential visa for you...

Like someone said, everybody destiny no be the same thing, u fit enter Dubai now and miraculously land one or two job sef, while person way don dey there since 2018 still never see work. Pray to God and be smart make opportunity no pass you by, once you reach there, no dey form, humble yourself, cos you don't know where your helper fit dey.

Even If you are unable to find an employer to process your work visa for you, come back, a Dubai stamp on your passport means it would be way easier for you to get your two year work visa if you decide to apply again from home, and also that stamp could help your travel history when applying to other better countries in Europe, Caribbeans and even Asia .

Take a leap with faith bruh!!!

Lol. Ok you got me. My bias against kyrie is clouding my objectivity. But I still stand by my word that I'll take same over him everyday. The greatest ability any player can have is availability. Moreover, he never really moved the needle for the cavs till LBJ returned. It painfully obvious as he has not been able to replicate any considerable playoff success ever since he left despite being on very good teams and a weaker conference.

I remember watching that 2016 NBA finals game 7 and as soon as they handed the Finals MVP trophy to Lebron, I looked at Kyrie and saw the disappointment in his face. I think he felt he deserves it because of the SHOT. ( not as long as Bron lives lol)

I told a friend, I said this guy will leave Cleveland and he ultimately left. The problem with Kyrie is Kyrie.

I also agree with your point about dame. Imagine what Lebron would do with Dame dolla cheesy

Kindly reverse your statement.
I’m not misleading anyone. I’m saying the right thing. That was what I used in calculating the amount I needed in my bank account. I have my visa.
What will I gain in misleading? Please don’t attack someone like that next time.

I’m an accountant and I deal with fx conversion daily at work.

Thanks and God bless

It doesn’t matter where you work. And nobody is attacking anyone.

If you’re presenting a Nigerian bank statement, then the currency you have is Naira.

Lebron balled. Kyrie balled. Lebron made the block, Kyrie, the shot. Lebron deservedly won the FMVP and his respect, Kyrie, his superstar status. The two produced magic for the ages.

Surely these stories are not mutually exclusive. They can all coexist without the need to pull one down in order to pedestal another.

Apt.

The way kyrie milks that one ring eh. Like he was not carried to that championship by LBJ and love. Kyrie is just more marketable because of his streetball style which is more appealing to the fans. But asides from handle, Dame supersedes kyrie on every other criteria

I usually agree with many of your posts but I think “Carry” might be a bit of a stretch here. wink

Pounds need to be up while Naira have to be down. That was what I used and I have gotten my visa.
You’re overestimating using that method.

Don’t mislead people.

The currency you have should be up while the one you want should be down.

Kyrie is a borderline superstar. I mean, if we can't call Dame a superstar then why should we call Kyrie a superstar?

Get rid of westbrook. Bad contract with no upside. Wall hasnt played in 2 seasons at least so question mark there too. Both teams are tired of their situation.

If you think Westbrooks contract is bad, Have you seen John walls contract?

This is basically trading Russell Westbrook for Russell Westbrook

They have 2 borderline superstars, some might even argue it's 2 outright superstars. That's usually what you need to go far. Looking at the east, no team has 2 outright superstars. The Bucks, Celtics, Heat, Raptors and even the Nets don't have 2 outright superstars.

As for Atlanta, the best they can fight for is the 7th or 8th position and a first round exit. Trae is magnificent no doubt, but can he lead? Can he make the right decisions to make his team successful? Will he be willing to sacrifice filling up his stat sheet in favour of winning?

But let's not forget that the Pacers are still a decent team with Warren, Brogdon, Oladipo and Sabonis. They should male the playoffs with that. Then there's Washington now that they have Westbrook. I won't be surprised if Atlanta don't make it.

And don't forget Orlando, they had 7 players who averaged double figure points last season. I fear such teams.

Say what Did KD and Kyrie die?

Why is she shit testing you

She is shit testing you because she has seen weakness in you

Immediately she starts shit testing you
Something surely happened or u let off a show of weakness that makes her that shit testing you in that area.

The girl you dont care about at all
Would never shit test you.


Because she knows if she tries it
Ofcuz she will lose.

Now love itself is a weakness
So Immediately you start "loving" you start showing weakness and she will shit test you.

It might be her heart
Beauty
Body

Anything
Immediately you show weakness in any of those areas she will shit test you.


So when a woman starts shit testing you
You probably have shown weakness.

I feel

The highlighted is wrong and can be quite misleading.

Anybody can be “shit-tested”, how you respond to it is what separates you from the “pack”.

time to halt the season like SAS suggested? The NBA made avoiding covid injuries look easy, but its not working well for the NFL. Everyone is expecting a post thanksgiving wave, so this could get worse

Halting the season will mean a huge loss in revenue to the NFL and trust me, them billionaires don’t mess with their money. grin

To make matters worse, football cannot be played in a bubble.

Pretty sure the two teams that’ll love the season to be halted ASAP will be the cowboys and the 0-11 jets grin grin
