Just reminded me a case of young man in his early 20s, left his hostel in Birmingham (UK). took a bus to Birmingham international airport with just his wallet, international passport and a flight ticket he printed in his room. His fellow students who saw him leave the hostel, thought he was going to get groceries.....11hrs later, he was knocking at his parents gate past midnight. His family was shocked, he requested a room should be prepared for him that he was feeling sleepy, he locked himself in that room for 4 days without coming out though en-suite but he didn't eat nor communicated with anyone.

The family being an influential one, had to be hush about it. It was the consultant psychiatrist where I worked, that was called in and got him to open the door and the guy looked like something else, it took so much experience to get him come over to our facility to be admitted. It was a very complicated diagnosis and he was established to be struggling with schizoaffective disorder and the 4 months he was in the facility was hair-raising.

Smart youngster, wish him greater heights.

I know that lady very well and I have met her too. That's her way, always begging she needs help, yet not ready to receive help... People have tried from time to time to help her, yet she isn't ready. She has a mental problem thats my take on her matter.

People who are homeless are more prone to mental health issues. Which city/town is she in?

From malaria to cancer......the journey!

TheGift:
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw that comment.

Did you bother to read my other posts after it?

TheGift:
You make it sound so easy, leaving Naija to go and look after teenage kids while spending your time watching Netflix, not even learning new skills. Are you speaking from experience or imagination??

You think you just show up and be allowed to look after teenagers in the UK without being skilled or you think, it is Nigeria you pick up any random person to look after minors?

Curse777:
Not his fan tho ..

but he is an oxford graduate and a lawyer...
.he is above motor pack..

. Political praise singer

Professional Abuser

Propaganda spreader

Not Oxford but Cambridge, his grandfather attended Cambridge, FFK's father was born in the UK and also attended Cambridge, FFK also did his postgraduate studies in Cambridge and graduated but got mixed up with substance abuse.

To the phantom Fulani letter writer, I hope this reply meets you in good health and spirits.

Do not weep for the igbos, they are not worse off than you in every aspect of human capital development, sort out the low literacy level of your people, high infant mortality rate etc and above all when you live outside your abodes, make efforts to rent rooms and live in them as other humans do, as it is not an abomination to pay rent, instead in living in shacks and forests.

Igbos are not giving up on education and never would, in 5 years Imo state alone had 9,000 of her indigenes admitted into Nigerian universities to study medicine, some states in your region could not raise up to 600 of their indigenes in that same 5 years to study medicine, there was a year a state could only get less than 70 students that gained admission to study medicine in Nigerian universities . ....remember the recent story of the 14 year old wife of one of your kinsmen who was divorced by your cousin because she was attended to by a male doctor when giving birth? That is the result of your people's deliberate plan not to have majority of your daughters to dream beyond being married as minors. Focus on why some of your children need only to score 2 to be admitted into a Federal Government College while a kid from South East need to score 139 to gain the same admission.

I summarize my reply with Luke 23:28

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children

😂😂😂😂

BALLOSKI:
The teenager is mentally unstable?

No.

EmirOfNews:
Yes, pls!

With the age of your baby, one of you must always be at home for the baby....if you can, I will suggest you come with wifey and leave baby at home with either of your mothers, if they are still around and after 6 months or thereabout when you both have fully settled, wifey can go bring your child as that what many couples I know did, one school mate of mine left behind a 4 month old baby with her mum while she came over with hubby, they lived in one room in a shared house, both hustled to pay off the remaining tuition fees as hubby was working fulltime, by the 7th month they rented a 2 bedroom flat and wifey went back to Nigeria to get their baby as they have achieved a work pattern that would have one of them at home at any point to care for their baby. There is a Nigerian couple on Youtube who did same, I think the husband went after 7 months or thereabout to get their 11 months old daughter and their 3 year old daughter.

EmirOfNews:
Course is Filmmaking with London Film Academy. When I will be entering is still pending because I want to gather enough facts from people like you (based on experience) before I conclude. My wife studied Banking and Finance

Is it a postgraduate program that qualifies your dependents to relocate with you?

EmirOfNews:
Student visa

And when are you entering the UK and which course?

What did your wife study?

Stranded because it was not well planned.

EmirOfNews:
Bro, Pls for God sake, kindly help with these questions so that I won't blame myself. I'm seriously thinking of relocating to the UK with my wife before December. Pls, I have 4 questions.

1. Can me, my wife and 8months old baby survive in the UK with 12hrs job?

2. Is it 100% sure that my wife and I will be able to secure a job once we get to the UK?

3. As you wrote up there, what will be the take home from the £12.70 per hour job?

4. Must there be a degree certificate to secure jobs at all levels?

Thanks man !!

What type of visa, are you intending to relocate with?

Princedapace:
lol, Night shift, god forbid. Thanks goodness I chose tech. I simply work anywhere and get paid in $$ from my comfort. God forbid I do all those nonsense in the name of earning $.
Im just happy I switched career.

Night shift is an option and when I did it, I was allowed to work on my dissertation while on shift.

They should go rent houses or buy land and build houses, stopping that lifestyle of living in shanties in many locations they live in large numbers. Can't forget the notorious koto mallam that is located next to Ojota new garage in Lagos way back from the 1980s, don't know if that settlement still exists.

Raw.

hustla:
You pass my level, I'm a "bloody support worker"

But you are already on a rung of the ladder and that is big, if you get to the top rung you can set up your own home and if it gets successfully registered and standards well adhered to, na cash out level you go dey cruise.

FxMasterz:
Thanks for the information.

You are welcome.

pocohantas:
All this one no concern me.
I'll still come. Except they refuse me entry.

hustla:
You're a clinical psychologist yeah?

They should come and pay for mine too na

Actually, it is UK govt that paid for it under their apprenticeship program with my company forwarding our names and paying their own little share of the cost. I am still doing it as it would terminate at Level 4 Children, young people and families practitioner.

My field is Clinical child psychology, I am into more of neurodevelopmental assessments, children and young persons with emotional and behavioural disorders.

hustla:
Probably the reason why I was rejected during my interview

Thats the only care related interview I have ever been rejected for and I knew they would as they kept hammering on experience

They are a bit stricter when it involves minors than adults as I have seen. YP homes may be a bit more lenient

Do you know how much the L3 cert costs?

My company paid for my training alongside my colleagues, so I do not how much though I have moved to clinical settings, working in CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services),

hustla:
What you wrote is 98% of what I do at work but mine is for 14/15 hrs

Sometimes you get bored and sleep a bit when the doors are locked

Na that bit, go fit put you for trouble one day!

Hope your company is offering you QCF, for career progression?

FxMasterz:
Please what type of job is this exactly? How do people land these jobs?

Residential children home support worker. Some companies train you from the scratch, while some company expect you to come with work experience and Level 3 certification in children residential care.

Allisgud:
ok this are for those working in the restaurant?

No, in a residential children home.

UnfairLife7:
what happen to the remaining two days of the week? Who will look after the child/ren for the remaining two days? Both day and night

For that one child, there are about 8 workers working in that home, doing their own 12hrs shifts except the house manager, who starts by 9a.m and goes home by 5p.m.

Brownshoe:
but why the kid will runaway?

They are children in care, that means children who have been taken away from their families by the government through the court, after it has been established that the environment where the child was, is not safe nor of the best interest of the child. When you hear say government collect pikin from parents, na such places dem put the pikin.

Praktikals:
Pls what is the name of this job? It looks like thats my calling lol. I hardly sleep at night

Waking night support worker in a residential children home.

sammirano:
Abi oo. I don't sleep in the day.

You then take up day shifts.

UnfairLife7:
what if one hardly sleep during day time but at night? Night work without short period to take a nap isn't easy o, especially for those who hardly sleep during day time.

Your body will readjust, from 9.30a.m or thereabout your body will begin to shut down and you will be feeling sleeping.

It is only for 5 nights a week.

UnfairLife7:
how possible can someone be awake throughout the night without feeling sleepy?

Very possible.....you get home by 9a.m, have a shower and a meal, then go to bed and wake up around 5p.m and have another meal, lazy around the internet, then take a shower and leave for work at about 7.15p.m, get there at about 7.45p,m, chat with the day staff as they hand over to you and they also reserve a cooked meal for you in the microwave.....another wake night shift begins.

Lame ducks.
