PoliticsRe: Babagana Kingibe (Abiola's Vice In 1993) Gets Emotional As He Meets Tinubu by OgbeniOptional(m): 9:32pm On Mar 02, 2023
I gave up on Obidients when they are arguing about FCT 25% thing. They showed they are fresher to Nigeria’s history and politics. I hate that they stopped history in school. Obi is good and same as BAT. He won not convincingly due to oppositions vote but this is democracy, he won regardless. Why be a sore loser?


LegendHero:
30 years in the making.

I’m sure Kingibe would have remembered a lot which explained why he got emotional.

Tinubu copied everything about MKO campaign to the campaign tag.

Hope ‘93 became Renewed Hope ‘23.
—He copied the Muslim-Muslim template
—He copied the Yoruba-Kanuri Template
—He copied the alliance with the North template

That’s why I always laugh when people think “Renewed Hope” means renewed current APC regime. No, the renewed hope is the Hope 93 we lost in Abiola era. Now the mandate is back and we will move Nigeria to success.

RIP MKO
God bless President elect Tinubu
God bless the Northern governors
God bless Benue people
God bless Nigeria

Smiles, apologies and best of luck.

You should have asked for more contexts before making your judgement. She got pregnant only after securing an offer and COS. Thank you.
TravelRe: UK Skilled Worker Visa / Health And Care Worker Visa / Qualified Teacher Route by OgbeniOptional(m): 10:43am On Jan 15, 2023
While I agree with you, it’s her choice. A friend’s wife got offer with this Top multinationals who wanted to sponsor her, she got pregnant without knowing, the pregnancy was a mistake and actually didn’t know she’s pregnant until after she got job. They gave her one option which is they can’t sponsor her now cuz of the pregnancy and advise her to make use of her husband’s psw. It is always nice to be straightforward with your employer if you are seeking sponsorship, terms and conditions are always attached to tier 2 low key


giselle237:
this is wrong. She is at liberty to disclose her pregnancy when she wants but to be entitled to any benefits or leaves at all, every organisation has ‘dates/gestational age to abide by’
There is no rule stating she must declare pregnancy at every job interview. You here are the discriminator!! Calling someone else a liar because u think u have an opinion.
TravelRe: UK Skilled Worker Visa / Health And Care Worker Visa / Qualified Teacher Route by OgbeniOptional(m): 10:19am On Jan 15, 2023
If she didn’t declared the pregnancy from the beginning, you have a very slim chance of not losing the sponsorship. You should declare pregnancy to your employer when seeking job. You lied to them and it’s sackable. Before wasting money on flight and all, you should inform them and try to work things out with them. ALWAYS TELL EMPLOYERs WHEN PREGNANT during job applications, they can’t deny you job cuz of that. Lying about it makes you a liar, dishonest job seeker.

festuso2:
Great morning.

Could you please advise?

My wife is 7 weeks pregnant and she's meant to fly to the UK on a health and care worker visa soon. Her employer is a domiciliary care home. Is it wise to tell the employer she's pregnant before landing in the UK? Scared of losing her sponsorship or being discriminated against.

For flights, I used Ryan air. Got some tickets for as low as £9 (just make sure your luggage no pass 1 bag).

For hotel, I stayed in hostels (dormitories)) in those countries. They're cheap, but not the most luxurious or private spaces grin
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by OgbeniOptional(m): 3:54am On Jan 03, 2023
Congratulations mate, please how you take go 9 countries and spent less than £1k with flights and hotels? Thanks

IvanCardozo:
After 8months, I'm coming back to thank Ralph Lauren again. I followed your tips bumper to bumper. Did a couple of Schengen travels (9 countries in total). I didn't spend up to 1,000 pounds in all (flights and hotels).

Then I applied for the US visa and..... Boom. I got it. Visa officer legit asked if I had travelled internationally since I came to the UK and I remembered what Ralphlauren said about touring Europe. Boldly told him I've gone to Santorini, Germany,Italy, Spain, France, Poland...... Etc etc. Dude just told me the golden words straight up.

So thanks again Ralphlauren.

This is the £400 energy support scheme by the Government. It is for ALL so not a PF.

£66 for 2 months (Starting in Oct 2022) and £67 for 4 months (Ending in March 2023). If you pay through DD, it gets automatically credited to your bank account, if not, you will see it in your energy statement as a credit.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by OgbeniOptional(m): 5:02pm On Nov 18, 2022
No, i didn’t apply for anything. £66 energy bill support scheme and bulb energy says it’s for Six month.



Zahra29:
There was a one-off energy rebate that was given to most people (living in properties rated council tax band D and below), however I believe this rebate was either paid into the specified bank account or deducted from the council tax bill (as opposed to the energy bill).

Where in the UK are you based, and do you recall applying for any support with cost of living or energy payments?

HND in computer science shouldn’t be asking 1k to prepare Eba. I used to have this side hustle where I help people register as external candidates for Waec, Neco in private schools and Jamb. Anything u want to sell around me automatically becomes my market, I will find buyer. U Dey find house, I get am. All these side hustle bring food to the table. As a computer science, guy forget people make money for online registration and stuff, find one old Dell, printer that comes with photocopying machine, register people dem for jobs e.g npower or dem exams. Think man unless begging is your calling.

PoliticsRe: Nana Akufo-Addo Debunks Story Of Him Asking Tinubu To Endorse Peter Obi by OgbeniOptional(m):
Lol, the sad truth is that the presidency is still between APC and PDP. For Buari to be president, he tried presidency under small party until combinations of various parties. APC and PDP have their standby voters and stakeholders of Nigerian politics, I think that’s the structure they are talking about. For every Chidinma, Buari and Tunde using social media for politics, believe me there are 100s of them are not on social media or just using it to watch Skits. For Obi to win, he needs Labor party and other parties to come together. Not just any party sef, a strong regional party like ACN and ANPP that time. Not a lot has changed much in our politics. Playing religious card is in favor of PDP and APC, playing ethnicity will favor PDP. Obi is a politician as well and slightly better than two other options in our current situation as a country . All of them will rot in hell. Suffering never ends in their respective state and region.

Does PSW count towards it?

Well like i said in the opening statement, I wasn't speaking solely about this case,and i don't want to make others uncomfortable asking important questions.
Just to be clear, student visas will count towards the 10yr ILR but not 5yr route.
So if your cousin came in to do bsc, then went to msc and then PhD, he/she/her/they/it could get it.

So all these emefiele them didn’t learn this in school as economists � thanks for the lecture

TheGuyFromHR:
By ceasing to fix the exchange rate.
Of course it is arguable that sometimes fixing an exchange rate works as a temporary fix, but the situation in Nigeria is not one of them - the same government routinely profiteers from it, as Sanusi once pointed out - the most profitable business in Nigeria is simply obtaining forex at the official rate and selling it at the parallel market rate, money for jam really.

Don’t you think all these apps are our problems? Oanda as at now is £1 to #499. Even going down. So I strongly believe all these apps dey encourage black market rates. I don’t think there is black market for Euro to pounds or pounds to Dollar. All these apps needs to be killed before they kill us as a country to be honest. They are making stupid money while the country as a whole suffer for it. There should be strong protest from government against these yeye apps.

Credit card sweet o. If u can’t pay your friend the interest free loan you promised to pay him back in a month. If u can’t honour that kind of agreement. Don’t near any financial institution for loan or credit, you will default as well. Stop making it seem like CC is a life destroyer. Live within your means.

claremont:
No. A credit card is just one of several credit instruments you can use to build a credit score. If you can afford not to have/use it, please don't. The careless acquisition and usage of credit cards has ruined the lives of several people.
