Random thought, is it possible to get someone in Nigeria to open a Netflix account for me and send the password to me here as it seems paying from Naija is cheaper. Will the IP address betray me ?

Good afternoon all

I did my biometrics for my passport renewal and with the help of a friend in Abuja it was printed the following week. The 6th February. A copy was actually sent to me from Abuja and I was asked to go pick it up in London. But because I used a registered self addressed envelope, I have been tracking it since feb 6th till date and they don’t seem to have the record. Should I start going to London for it? Why did the immigration force you to pay for delivery and still refuse to send it? Is there any number to call in London to complain ? Rather than travelling to London from West Midlands

Please what job do u think a lady with a mba from nigeria can do in uk if such lady does not want to do support or care?

She has experience as a secetary in her dads company in nigeria.

Is it possible for such person to be employed as secetary, receptionist, Personal assistant or any clerical role in uk without any uk experience?

Or which work such person fit do if no be support or care? Asking for someone pls

youkay is not like Nigeria. Roles like secretary and clerical jobs are non existence or scarce in the uk . The title personal assistance is mostly used for care/support work. Nevertheless, tailor your cv to highlight transferable skills and look for customer service roles. Hope that helps.

Nice one. Don't mind the Monzo werey ...they bounced me too and I went same route as you did for 1.

Boya make you try my AMEX referral https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/tEMItOhbvx?XL=MNANS - you get 6000 Avios once you are approved and you spend up to $1000 within 3 months.

Y[b]ou can use the card to pay your utility bills th[/b]ough its advisable you use below 25% of your approved credit limit to boost your credit scores.

Was it the landlord that pressured you into paying 6 months rents in advance instead of monthly?

. How are u using this to pay your utility bills? How did you set up direct debit with AMEX?

Hello house pls I want to confirm if companies in UK allows ones to take unpaid leave.

my friend in U S A took about four months unpaid leave from work to take care of her child and she was given and she still retained her job. so I want to confirm if one can do it here in the UK without been sacked.
Depending on your employer. A relative got 4 months unpaid leave last December to give birth. Why it is unpaid was because she was already pregnant before joining the company

I am always careful when using the word "impossible", especially when I am not aware of the full facts.
I will give you an example.
My spouse and I came for our masters at the same time. Neither of us workd for an hour during our study and yet ALL our bills were paid. Now I am sure you are screaming "IMPOSSIBLE".
. And you save £3000 per month! Congratulations. Abeg show us the way

hi,
Short answer is : It is possible.
Your dependent will have to get a very good high paying job while you also work to support the family. For example, if your spouse gets a job paying ~ £55k, their take home will be around £3080. You can choose to save all of it while surviving on your 20hr a week job.
On your followup question on earnings after school. Again, it is very possible but both of you need good paying jobs. Once a child is involved, it becomes harder.

not possible with what u just wrote. How much will go into utility bills, rent and groceries? Is he living in a free house ? Can you do all that with 20hrs per week job? No give the guy false hope. They don’t pick money on the street here

It seems others are asking: a thread created - https://www.nairaland.com/7080230/how-apply-renew-nigerian-passport#118848406
You might want to ask there as well.
I suppose passport should be ready within a month. They should give an indication on confirmation slip when you go in for biometric? However, things at that high commission (indeed almost all other 9ja high commission globally) changes so often like Dublin or Cape Town weather.
Unfortunately, calling them is almost a waste of valuable time!
Someone mentioned on this thread about collection earlier. I'll try look for it if I can.

Ok, so can you get it within a day. It's possible!!! I won't advocate that route neither do I have a plug!
Regarding travel, Justwise indicated earlier with expired 9ja passport and valid UK permit, you might be good to go: as in 9ja trip to & fro. If there are stop overs or if the trip is not UK-9ja-UK



I understand your enquiry is about collection. Here's an earlier collation on 9ja passport in the UK -

Please I will be travelling out of the uk by march ending. I just realised that my passport will expire before then. I have applied for renewal and my biometrics date in London is End of January.

Is it possible for the passport to be out within a month? Is there a way to hasten the processing at the Nigeria house? As per Naija style. Pls tips will be appreciated.

House Good morning,

Pls I arrived UK A week ago on a work visa, before coming my company where to make accomodation available for me, on getting here i discovered the accomodation is within the facility where I work, and I have booked paid for flight for my family to come over.

The initial plan was when I get here I will look for an accomodation before they coming, but is becoming increasingly hard everyday getting a house in Glasgow, they just have 10 days from departure date.

Can you guys pls advice me, either to push the ticket further to January, Cancel and get refund or use Airbnb if they eventually come.
. Cancel or postpone their coming , pending when you get suitable accommodation. The stress of Airbnb no be here ohh. Except your pocket is full or you are related to a Naija politician with deep pocket

Hello,

I know this have been talked about many times but I need help on this please.

I have been in UK for 13 months for 2 years Masters, I registered with Experian and my score is 845. I have tried to apply for a credit card even with AMEX , I saw a link here and applied and was rejected.
I don’t know what I am doing wrong, I have registered on credit ladder for some months now, I am registered on electoral roll. I have direct debit for data, NHS prescription and Netflix.

Please can someone help out? Experian sent a random mail that I qualify for Backlay credit card, I applied and was rejected, what should I do ?
Thanks .
. I feel that those your direct debits don’t count. They want to see things like house rent, and utility bills. Also, evidence of salary. You might need to use those. My 10penny

I think what they'll do is to reduce the number of dependents one can bring

OR

Limit post study grants to students who enroll in courses on the SOL and ask schools to make admissions more stringent

U may be right i dont know. Cos i am new here but what i see is that most people bite more than what they can actually chew.

The other day i saw a student driving a jeep. Is the jeep the car he should buy now? Mind you that person has not finished paying school fees and he did not buy the jeep on credit. If the jeep is cheap he should also think about maintenance.

So many people started using the latest iphone within a short time of coming here using credit to buy a phone they could afford while in Nigeria.

I know of someone who drives a very nice benz very clean benz and this person is on minimum wage. At the end of the day, these are the people that will shout nothing in UK. Meanwhile the person is funding a temptation he cant afford for now.

I dont know if there is anything in UK cos I am still in school and I dont do more than myself for now at least.
is this your business? Why drink Panadol for another? Why not mind your business here in Uk?
