That reaction as a CEO/ business owner, when you discovered that your brand name has been long hijacked from you by business hoodlums due to procrastination

DM now and let's make a reservation for you today before it's too late and hand over the certificate to you within few days

Note: CAC deals with FCFS (first come first serve)?

WhatsApp - 07066634602

how much to register a Company, not a business name with two directors? how long does the process take?

How reliable are solar system for say, security light, doors, cctv. Because most people I know with solar panels on there roofs still have generators.

Thank for thread, following

Banbanna:
It's just something you and I can't just make sense of. I guess they're the kind of people still hung up on the idea that it's their civic duty to do, or that if you can't beat them, join them.

Nigeria can never get better with that kind of mindset. The politicians have nothing to loose and everything to gain. The have no skin in the game, so why should they bother

These guys are not even ashamed or feel a kind of way posting pictures like this.

They send there kids abroad
Vacation abroad
Go for medicals abroad
There families live abroad
Retire abroad
Most of them are have dual citizenship.

This level of impunity can only happen in Nigeria. And some grown up goats with kids in akunga university or uniport will still be campaigning for these people

Pride, Stinky sense of entitlement

ACallForHelp:
They don't have the financial backup. That's the problem.

You said the Dad is a Redeemed pastor, A report to the Zonal/ Province pastor would have yielded, And they would have collaborated with the Anambra Province. The Dad is not a serious person

why has the David guy not been arrested? If you have his number, he definitely can be tracked. The parent shouldn't have even stayed a week tracking that nigga. What is the full name of David? And why are the parent giving up barely 2 months??

tensazangetsu20:
I got a vasectomy to prevent mistakes. I will reverse it when I japa eventually but if I can't yeah that's my fail safe thorough failsafe.

Where did you get it done? and how much was it?

Leave the house ASAP! You can't change a grown up baby. Stay with someone if you have to.

Tochilynx:
Yahoo?
I don't buy into that idea,
I use Facebook dating i make friends i don't know why your negatively reacting to this sir.

who owns the facebook accounts you are selling ? to make friends indeed!

So you yahoo boys are bold enough to push your 'wares' in public now? you know it can be tracked easily right? smh

Move to a more inspiring neighborhood. Your environment sure has a way of affecting your thought. Buying a car in an environment where people can hardly afford lunch will bread unnecessary hatred and envy. You don't have to finish the Apartment all at once, get the necessities and buy a smaller car if you absolutely need a car. Trust me you don't want to live in an area where it seems you are the only one 'prospering'.

Nigerians and prayers!! for Goodness sake, you can't pay away insecurity. Netherland, a country where 85% of the population has never been to a church talk more of night vigil or fasting is one of the safest and most stable countries in the world.

Queen of the south

I wish the same tenacity for the Presidential election can be replicated Across the board especially, Local Government, Senatorial, and House of Representatives elections. It is impossible for one man to change Nigeria! this is democrazy.

Toktee:
Not me but my neighbor, if I find myself in the situation I will get am outside na.

To what end? If you are unhappy in your marriage, simply divorce after exhausting all other "reasonable" option. Cheating isn't reasonable!

Are you just realizing this now or this has always been the case? Or did she just suddenly have a low libido? If the case were the later,it might be due to work stress or you have become unattractive(pot belly and lack of grooming) . If she has always been like that and you thought she was going to change, sorry to disappoint you, it's not going happen. I suggest you invest in intimacy gadgets. Sexual compatibility to very important, alot of people overlook this.

Typical Twitter clout laced tortoise and monkey story

Hate wike all you like, but it already you can't take away his fearlessness. This type of brash, fearless leadership might be the only way to rescue this sinking ship

The only thing this toothless Chihuahua knows how to do is condemn and felicitate. This spineless man shouldn't even be a councillor

johnsonpal:
Hi guys, It has been 6months here already, Pheew. Time truly flies, I tell you. My last post was 2 months ago; you can check that out if you missed it.

Disclaimer: The content of this post is solely my opinion and experiences, which of course, will defer from others.

This is kind of a long post; Apologies in advance, and to avoid decimating the write-up with links, they will be posted at the end under reference and further reading.


Let's get to it

Accommodation scarcity has always been an issue, but recently, it has gone bunkers, like finding accommodation now requires some miracle or sheer luck, especially for Families. I still don't understand why Landlords and letting agents avoid blatantly refuse to rent to families. The story is the same almost everywhere now. I can't even imagine the financial implication and the emotional stress of spending months in a hotel/Airbnb with no end. Single people are not finding it easy either.
It will be better to come alone first to settle and resolve accommodation issues; the family can join later. You don't want to be roaming around with your children in a new environment. The landlords/landladies are also taking advantage of people's desperation by suddenly hiking rent and not supplying necessities. I was able to secure accommodation a month before I came in; I don't even think that is possible anymore.

Accommodation Search Tips :
Get a Uk number ASAP( I downloaded vyke while in Nigeria because I wasn't getting any response via email). Start calling and texting instead of emailing alone.
Register on Zoopla, Rightmove, Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, start 'sleeping' on the websites. (Beware of Scam, especially on Facebook, if someone asks you to send an email to the sister, Not available to show house, payment via Airbnb it's 99% scam!!)
Google Agents in your city, go to their office if you are already on ground.
'Collabo' with another family to get a 5/6 bedroom ( demand for them are relatively low )
Some of the jobs on the UK shortage list might be removed soon due to 'oversupply.' So I did some digging and came up with a list of jobs vocations that I think have good prospects; some are still emerging.

Sustainability/Renewable: The Uk and Europe are moving towards renewable and energy sustainable development FAST. The Ukraine Russian war is going to make this move even faster. A degree in anything Related is going to be so worth it.

Business Intelligence/ Data Analyst: I analyzed popular jobs sites(LinkedIn, Totaljobs, indeed, reeds) posts for the 2 years, and these popped up.

AI/ Data Science: Data is the new currency man; applying Machine learning, deep learning, AI algorithms to data will be hot. This is different from Data Analysis; if you don't want to be mediocre, a strong Math/statistics background is essential, or time to learn those matrices and PCA. Ladies, please consider this career path. You are black and female, Double Minority! If you now know your onions again, omo! not every time nursing/public health.

Adult Care/Mental health: According to ons.gov.uk, "In 1999, around one in six people were 65 years and over (15.8%), this increased to one in every five people in 2019 (18.5%) and is projected to reach around one in every four people (23.9%) by 2039" Uk has an aging population, so anything Adult care will remain hot for a long time. You might also want to consider moving to coastal towns/cities according to ons, they elderly your clients prefer to retire to these areas.
Scrum Master: They popped up on my job data analysis

Vocations: I think people are ignoring this. if you can somehow combine school and learning a vocation, Consider these

Exterior Wall Cladding Installation: Due to the Grenfell Fire incident in 2017, the Government mandated exterior wall cladding who are prone to fire removed and changed; in fact, they are giving loans to leaseholder now.
Mechanics, anything electric mobility
Plumbing
HGV instructor: I think the Ukrainian refugee might close that gap though
I will post more in my next write-up, and you can always pivot your career if you are already studying something a little related.

The need for Job experience and good references cannot be overemphasized, I understand some of us are currently working temp jobs to pay the bill, but these Temps jobs can still be purposeful; you can build relationships that could provide future references. That is why it's important to be professional, friendly, and have a good work ethic.
When I first started working, I came from 8:07 to an 8:00 shift, and the Manager said, 'oh, it's nice of you to join us' 7 mins o finally, my mouth was wide agape. The other time I received a query for taking 40mins instead of a 30mins break; there was absolutely nothing to do at work that day. I had to adjust. Being prompt is very important, so try to factor uncertainties like bus delays into your work commute/appointments. Also, don't just do the barest minimum; I sometimes stay back after my shift to help out colleagues. My phone is put off while at work while others fidget theirs. These little things get noticed, trust me.

Incorporate listening to local news (BBC, telegraph, sky, Economist) into your routine during your commute to school or work. This can help integrate a little faster; you want to keep abreast of news and policy in your new 'home,' let the instablognaija and Naija twitter rest for a minute. The news also serves as a good conversation point between school mate/colleagues.

I wouldn't lie to y'all, combing work and school is not for the faint-hearted, it gets really busy with no time to do any other thing, but please try to find time to develop a hobby, Go to the gym, go for a ride, party sometimes, in fact, if football is your thing, attend some game, if you can afford the ticket. I know Nigerians are not big on mental health, but please take time to balance out the stress. It is easy to get lost in a routine of just work-school. The good news is, all the hard work will be well worth it in no distant time. Don't be dismay.

Unfortunately, guys, the 'yahoo boys,' or is it men, have started trooping in en masse. I don't understand how grown-ass men, 36years + with families, are still doing fraud. For goodness sake, Nigerians already have a battered and soiled reputation; this set of people will make it worse. In as much as I am praying and hoping for y'all to get caught, the ripple effect of headlines like " Nigerian man arrested for ..... " on people like me who are constantly busting their ass every day and giving this our all cannot be quantified. Please, biko Abeg , in the day of whoever you serve, STOP!! Don't ruin this opportunity for others. Apart from fraud, these guys don't even pretend to be interested in the schooling that got them here.

I received some pm last time, guys. I'm also a JJC like you. I really don't think I can be of much help. Ask your questions on this thread and the other Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant thread. You can also use the search option. These threads are info-rich. I used to follow them bumper to bumper, but these days I barely have time to visit, So I follow these OG's; it is easier to just catch up on their posts.
Lexusgs430 - I read his post as far back as 3years ago, thank you, sir
Mamatukwas: - All about parenting in a new environment. I think she offers Cargo to and fro also
Ticha : Finance, mortgage, Credit building, you want to follow her.
Aphro : Her moniker has skipped my mind now, but Ladies trying to get into the tech space should read her posts like a bible
LagosismyHome : She ever ready to give sound advice
Chukwuka16 : This Bros writing is like a dissertation. I love the details in them . one of his threads literally changed my life.
And some other OGs, Thank you guys for the invaluable contributions .

Quick one, if you are 'single single,' try to be a little strategic with relationships, enough said .


Finally,
In retrospect: What would I have done differently
Pay at least 75% of my tuition so I could focus more on school and use my 20hrs judiciously on an internship instead of working temp jobs.
Learn barbing before I came

Till next time, Na still me una brother Reporting Live !!!

wow... Good read man

in simple English : You are on your own!!

Black men are practically endangered, everywhere even in Africa that is supposed to be "home".

From profiling, to been very careful, heck * a man got killed for just jogging in the US, a man got killed for snapping just a selfie with a female in Greece*

For the black race to be treated equally, maybe fairly atleast. Africa needs power/wealth , the fact that no black nation is among the top 50 GDP is so saddening.

Trust me. There is a handsome/beautiful person privilege. For instance, taking the trending 'Tinder Swindler,' why do you think he was relatively successful with his victims? You guess right, apart from his fake lifestyle, he is handsome !! Ladies, humans in general, have a soft spot for handsome men, beautiful women alike.

So if you are not that beautiful, Endeavour to marry someone relatively beautiful might necessarily not be facial ; it might be height, dimple, excellent dentition, beautiful eyes. You want to give your children a fair head start in life; You don't want people interest in them be born solely for material gains . Be wise! help your kids

Why Exactly is this news worthy? No one makes a big deal of a black woman that is speaking french and eating pizza. smh
