Hi people, I've got a question that has always been at the back of my mind. Asking oyinbo might be a bit awkward but I'm sure naija should understand.
Why are there so many kids in the UK with autism or on the autistic spectrum? It almost seems as though the Brits consider it a badge of honor saying their kids are on the spectrum or to use it to claim disability.

I've seen a lot of kids who the parents claim are on the spectrum and honestly, they seem cognitively okay, and if it were naija some proper brain resetting beating every once in a while will likely realign the child, but the parents here just seem to use "on the spectrum" as a pass to allow the kids become uncontrollable and something a complete nuisance.

Is there some kind of inherited genetic predisposition for brits to be on the spectrum or is that just some quasi-cultural thing that has become part of the medical norm for doctors to just label the kids as on the spectrum?

##Or is my perception on the matter just skewed because Nigeria doesn't do enough testing to determine if kids are on the autistic spectrum or have cognitive disabilities and just assume the child is a "dullard"?

Good evening great people of God. May God bless you and bless your husstles. Please I would like my Sabi people to help Torchlight on this matter as I be proper jjc.

I am moving to Coventry in 2 weeks time with my family of five on a tier 2 visa. Employer would assist in getting us accommodation while we pay. Please what are those things we should look out for in the rent terms. Is it wise to just pay for one month incase we need to move apartment or just stay put till we have gained a little ground?

Pls can someone who has lived in Coventry say something about the affordable areas and maybe a little advice as per settling down with family. Opening account, registering with GP etc.

I would have really loved if there is a little Coventry community one can familiarise with as it may be somewhat lonely in a new environment.

Thank you great people as you respond to my query.

Hello People,
Due to unforseen circumstances totally beyond my control, I need to urgently book a flight to Abuja.

I intend to take EgyptAir on my return journey.

Egypt Air appears to be the most budget-friendly option (Yes, I am really tight and ££ and infact, If there were to be cheap STANDING ONLY flights, I no go mind)

If I have a 12-hour lay over in Cairo, will I be given hotel accomodation please?

Anyone with EGYPTAIR experience?

As seen on another thread.

The new police clearance doesn’t require picking up , you can download it on your portal . You just need to create an account on possap .gov.ng, afterwards pay the 30k to the government account then go for your facial and fingerprint capturing , after a day or two the certificate will be available to download on the portal

Comment 2
I did possap ,and I think that's what everyone is doing even if u go to their office you will register and pay online .then you will go to alagbon to get ur certificate,heard the place is crowded, u wud need a police to help u quickly process ur certificate, that's when u wud need to give them extra cash.25k for non appearance, u can beg him with 20k ,u knw police and money.is free if u can go there urself.
P.s I paid for the courier service.

I commend your sincerity on this thread and you're one of the few people i have come to respect. Mind you, i have been on this thread longer before now. I only just read as a guest and i don't comment on this forum. The reason for my statement is this. I stumbled on one of the post where someone says students are entitle to go for council house. Well, before i stumbled on debates about the information council houses here by someone on this thread, i had already fallen into that mess. Let me warn intending people who want to take that information and run with it. Students are not entitled to Council Houses. Yes, its cheaper, but you are not entitled to go for it. Its public fund. I wouldn't want to go into details about what happened to me. But someone mislead me to fall into it and the council didn't take it easy. But pls, stay away from public funds/house or whatever if you're on a student visa.

Since arriving the Uk this year, one thing i have come to know or notice about Nigerians who have lived here longer is them always claiming to know everything about anything. They always claim to be knowledgeable about everything that concerns the Uk especially when they notice you're new in the UK and seek for advice on things. My brethren, be careful with these type of people. I'd say they're 90% of Nigerians here who have these traits. They'll mislead you, give you false information and leave you to your fate if it goes wrong for you. I see some of them on this thread and wont mention name. Sometimes i wonder if they do these things intentionally just to get you into some type of difficulty or problem. I am saying this from an ugly experience i just got out of and that has made me have a rethink of wanting to really join the Nigerian community. Be mindful of "some" Nigerians here who always want to claim elder and Mr know it all. Them no sabi anything and most of them who claim to have been here longer don't have papers, na pali oni pali dem dey use and trust me, you that came in via student route, work visa are way better than them. They are filled with pure undiluted wickedness. Just my 2cent though.

Please people of God, been trying to get a date for my practical driving test in Warwick but I can't seem to find one. I have checked up till next year June and still can't find a date. I booked a date in another center far from me, one of these villages in the hope to use these canceling apps to book a date and centre of choice but it's been a month now and nothing from gov.uk site and the cancelation apps either.

Seems like Warwick. Coventry, Birmingham and Nuneaton are fully booked.



Please any advise on how to move forward will be appreciated. This non driving is really limiting me.

Hello my people
Please, when is the right time to buy flight ticket for December . I checked Cheapflight.com and the cheapest there is Rwandair follow by Egyptair. The latter has one check-in baggage which I think is not enough.

Vizay:
Good evening elder.

Please has anyone travel to the UK from Abuja using Qatar airways recently? Were you required to present a COVID test result at the Abuja Airport? Response will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Joshtoch:
Good morning everyone. I have been a silent reader. Please I'm a bit confused. My husband came in to uk as a sponsored worker. His boss has his clients far away from the office and wants all his staff to have a car. If you can't afford he gives you a loan which will be deducted only for a few months. Now, people are rushing to buy a car they don't like because you must not exceed a particular amount the boss gave on loan. Also, if you don't have a car you will not be giving a shift. I am helpless because I don't know where we can decide to get an accommodation since he hasn't been given any job until he buys a car. Also I can't work because his work plan is not settled yet. Waking up and not knowing what to do every morning. Please house what can we do on this case?
