Both are NOT mutually Exclusive. . . .

Chairman Mao was an absolute failure. He killed nearly 30 million people just to return the Chinese to the farms. China's success began by diverging from Mao's failed policies. His successor was replaced because he is seen as another crazy airbag. The father of the Chinese economic miracle is Deng Xiaoping and not the murderous Mao.

Nigeria needs sacrifice but not to try out failed economic policies. Even today, China cannot feed itself and that is not a bad thing.

Deng was a murderer as well.

What this young man has been able to achieve on and off the field is truly remarkable!

Makes me so proud he plays for United.

When it comes to bogus contracts, it usually get approved in no time. But this is the educational sector, something that would benefit ordinary Nigerians, the FG keeps going back and forth with ASUU.

What a country!

Or you just collect the $$ at official rate and change when you get to the UK

Think twice before doing this. You’re better off bringing pounds here.

Ykaa:
Hello everyone,

Please, are there BDCs that exchange naira for pounds at the CBN approved rates? If yes please, are there any at the Lagos International airport.

I already tried getting PTA but I was denied because of my one-way ticket.


Best regards

No (at CbN rates)

Good morning fam, God bless you all for the selfless work. pls @mimilyrics @justwise @ lagosismyhome and other gurus in the house pls help me out

I’m currently filling the online form for my visa and there is a place that says “ will your dependent be traveling with you to the uk” my husband would be applying in January. Pls do I fill yes or no

Since my husband would be applying in Jan do I need to upload my wedding certificate and other proof of marriage

I plan to upload;
Tb test certificate
Bank statement from 17th oct-15th nov printed on the 16th nov
CAS
Bsc cert, transcript and WAEC ( these are the documents listed on my CAS as evidence used to obtain my offer)
Hope I’m in order??

There is an error in the date of birth in my transcript. Will an affidavit be ok to correct this?

Also my course is for 1yr 4months and the ihs calculator is showing £904 as the amount to be paid, I’m confused because I thought it is suppose to be 470+235 =705.

Stick to the uk GOV ihs calculator and not what you think

Life after Death

Biggie would be proud

What’s funny about this balderdash?

toyclicks:
Hi Fam.

Wow!
Good to drop in here as a testifier to this place.
Hope y'all doing fine.

Ok so....quick one. Let me share my experiences so far
I now understand why ppl abroad find it difficult to have time. You almost have to plan your breath. Time is really a scarce commodity here. I don't know how all the good ppl here @justwise, @mimilyrics, @stenon et all. I don't know how you find time for this forum ooo. You were and are still a blessing. Whatever way you have been able to keep squeezing out the time to help ppl here, I would say its worth every part of it. Being a part if so many ppl's life journey and being a blessing to them is worth all the effort. So pls as God helps you, don't get tired.

Now....let me say this bitter truth. A bitter truth that ppl on this forum have quarrelled with Justwise for saying. This ppl included me.

This is not the best time to come to the Uk..
IOW, if you have the means to still chill in Nigeria for 6-12months, sadly, I would advise you to do so.

However, if you want to come and join us to whether this terrible tough period, I am not discouraging you. You are welcome.

Let he explain a bit. If your aim is really studying, don't come right now, else you won't get value for your money. The pandemic has really messed things up. The online class is BS. Even the schools don't know how to handle the situation yet. One other major thing is that networking is difficult. In 6 weeks I only had a class meeting once. Till now I only met one of my senior colleagues since I've been here. No one to come to your aid. You are all by yourself. Everyone is trying hard to survive. Everyone is really busy. No one has your time. No one is available to put you through things. This is when you will value trivial things like seeing your colleagues and lecturer to chat and discuss, holding physical meetings. Believe me, you can't fathom how much frustration this can be, esp when we are talking about something that involves more or less the biggest investment of your life yet. This new way of life has affected many things and not everyone is able to adjust to it.

Also, don't think the lecturers are available to help you. They are not available to "babysit" anybody. They expect at the masters level that you are really cooked and there are many things you are expected to know. Unfortunately for those of us coming from a place like Nigeria, believe me, we are really undercooked. Believe me, a primary school kid here will do much better than you. One of my coursemates confessed to me that it was her kids that helped her with her coursework when she couldn't get a hang of it. Her kids were born and grown here. So you get what I mean. It's so easy for them to flow. Long and short, there is so much catching up for you to do in order to come up to the same level with these ppl.
...And yes, ppl are really getting stranded. I already know ppl whom we moved together from this thread and left with the hope that they can hustle it out. They are getting stranded. Pls if you are coming at this period, you are better off with as much buffer finances as possible.


As regards jobs. There are jobs and there are no jobs. What do I mean? Jobs have really been reduced cos of the pandemic. However there are still some kind of jobs in some remote areas far from town. Transport cost on the long run might take a big chunk of the pay(like 30%). The distance is much( to is like 2½ hrs. Making 5hrs round trip for your job commute) hope you can understand now. The jobs are simply available there cos the location is far from availability of labor. So you count your cost.

I am just taking time to explain all these so you understand my reason for advising to chill a bit if you can

However, for all the ppl like me wet naija don tire. Make una dey come ooo abeg. We go rough am. We go survive.

I hope my msg is not all too negative. But I think it will be of good to you if you get the true and clear picture of things so you can make informed decisions.

I wish us all the best we can be.

Cheers to y'all.
I hope to share more and sweeter experiences later

Accurate

globalresource:
The government has scam us again

One of the agitation of true endsars protesters was good salary and good working condition for policemen

But the citizens and police have one common enemy....

Why is it that Nigerian politicians lie pass devil and act like mini God?

Sadly, some don’t see it this way. . .

Okortor:
The funny thing is, I see "Nigeria 2015" all over the current US political landscape, a situation where the leader they are all running towards now turns out to become their worst nightmare.

Anyways, congratulations Joe Biden.

Okortor, shutttt up with your okoto yarnings

I almost give a damn, all the world bank, Jupiter bank, min. of finance she held the position how has it benefit a common Nigerians?



this is the foolishness of some Nigerians, my people must be there and yet their problem is not solved. look at north, they've the number of elected members in both house and senate, as governor and they've the numbers of president both military and civilian yet they're still crawling with development


what a shameful country, like I said I give no damn about her lost and win because it has no relevance in the life of a common Nigerians

This part!

Gullible Nigerians are forming support as if her winning will change their lives.

This calls for another protest. Why not 100 trillion
