With this, the government will now have full control over its citizens money. As much as the apex bank ought to be somewhat independent of government, it is not. So if presido does not like you, your money can just vavavum! Plus we have seen how the government handles institution and resources. How will they now handle people's money or just the IT infrastructure. Take a look at the National IDs and co. The next thing may be that they will force all banks to use it and not visa cards and then you cannot buy stuff outside the country.

I'm planning on start processing UK Student Visa but I'd love to know how can someone get a Permanent Residents when someone get to UK ...

After you have finished your studies, get an ELIGIBLE work visa (SWV, GTV) and then count 5 years (SWV) or 3 years (GTV), then apply for ILR, wait 1 year, then apply for citizenship. Not that the 3/5 year count has to be continuous without any 6 month period outside the UK within any 1 year period.

Sokotogudali, but why did you ghost on all of us that have been searching for you. A big congratulations to you. That your cover letter is the bomb, very detailed and helpful. Congratulations once again. My issue too is flight ticket now, British airways and virgin is very expensive now, klm, air France and Lufthansa need transit visas and I am now left with qatar, Ethiopian, Egypt , Turkish, Rwanda and the likes that are kind of affordable

Note that Egyptair, if you have a long haul (need to stay over night) they book a hotel accommodation for you with feeding. Might be stressful but you end up seeing a small portion of Cairo.

lymelyte:
UK is very desperate

Nope!

The visa route does not guarantee settlement. So after a while you have to switch to a visa that has a settlement route.

They essentially have just opened up their work force to the best in world, with no strings attached (on their part though).

This is something Nigeria has to do for her own citizens, but . . .

jawalis:
Pls elites and Everyone with good knowledge of English language should help me. I’m confused of which the correct one is.
Is it wear, spray or apply for a perfume?
Pls help. (endeavor to make the answer clear and understandable)
Thanks.

All of the above.
You see when you spray perfume on your body, cloth or whatever, it climbs onto you/it. At the time, it grabs unto or hugs you/it. You are then wearing it. The whole process is the application - spraying and wearing.
Hence, I apply perfume by spraying it so that it is what I wear.
Shei u understand waram saying?

What is your observation

It's not about cloth, it is about brain!

Dear all,

Starting off this thread to get information and experience from Nigerians in the United Kingdom who have had to renew or apply for a new passport in the United Kingdom.

I am aware this thread - https://www.nairaland.com/1969461/cost-nigeria-international-passport/ - exists for passport costs and related information and experience.

The annoying part of doing so in the United Kingdom is the fact the Nigerian Embassy does not answer emails and calls from all I have gathered and experienced.
I am aware that quite recently (~April, 2021), the new leadership of the Nigerian High Commission in London have started treating backlogs of applications since December, 2019, and that applications (new and renewal) can now be done online with the interviews conducted in person on invitation.

I attached the latest news release from the Nigeria High Commission in the United Kingdom dated 21st May, 2021.

Does anyone have any experience and 'ground' information for applications in London, United Kingdom - when did you apply, how long before you got an invite for the interview, when did you finally get the new/renewed passport, how long did the interview at the High commission take, did they post the passport to your address, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

From my inbox
I met this guy in my final year in school, we almost shared the same view in life, he possesed all the qualities I need in a man.
He's so caring, kind, handsome, a good pay Job n from a humble home, I can't deny the fact that I Love him,
But the issues is that he's a Muslim while am a christian lady,
Pls house does religion matters in marriage
Cc Fynestboi
Cc Lalasticlala
Cc Roctation

For this matter, two things are involved.
It is either none of you are devoted to your stated religion or at least one of you is. If none of you are devoted to being a muslim or christian then you automatically belong to a different religion called secularism, so your question is no longer a problem.
If at least one of you is devoted two things are involved. It is either he is, and nothing else because if you are, you will not be asking this question. If he is, then sister you are entering one chance.

PS: You are not marrying only the guy but his family. Be prepared to convert, because if he does, his family will mostly likely disown him. My 2 cents.

Please I need your help or view point in this matter. Am I just over reacting at is this a red flag to which I need to run far away from?
My current boo asked me out for like one and half year, it was like it’s either me or no one else. His friends and bosses in his office had to speak to me to consider him as I might be missing a good man and how crazy he is about me.
I finally accepted.
I decided to move in with him after a while just to see what marriage to him would feel like with him. I have stayed a year with him and it’s void of sex and kissing.
When I came he would say they should put on the gen anytime there was no light for me and all, he was sweet.
With time he started complaining that he was buying all the food in the house and I wasn’t contributing as much as he wants.
He eats about 5 times a day while I eat twice or one and half times (fruit, oat and pap) a day because me I am watching my weight.
He would complain the milk he bought had finished and all...and it was with some level of anger or bitterness about buying the food stuff.
Pls note that I consume 25% - 30% of all he eats.
I later started buying my milk to avoid issues since I knew that’s what I consume most (with my oat or pap) which makes one of my meal for the day but he was angry about me buying it separately but I did that because I felt there would be peace that way. I would still buy milk and keep and he can say I am using more than he is using inside the milk
He complained about repairs (light), complained about buying dstv subscription, nepa light payment etc. You just list any house thing he started complained about doing it.
I on my path do contribute the way I spent before I came to stay with him. (I wasn’t a huge spender as I eat very small food) and so my money use to remain which he used to borrow from me when we werent together.
We had a him 60k and me 40k arrangement for food fuel light etc but we never put it together and so each week I did ensure I spend 10k. But apparently he wasn’t seeing it. I would come from market and he would say what is all this, this is worth 5k. It use to hurt so much because I wld show him the list but he would still say this same thing. I have never asked him how much he bought things if he goes to market talk less if say it’s not up to a certain amount.
He said later that he can’t marry a woman who works and won’t contribute for light, food, repair, gen etc....
So even today we contributed for dstv 4700, I paid half and he paid half.
It looks sort of absurd and a no no to me
Yesterday he bought apples 800 naira and I paid half and he paid half....
And so that’s how the current life would be....
I contributed to the rent also but he said no... that he would “dash me” rent. I shouldn’t pay so I won’t come tomorrow and say I contributed to the house rent. I even said ok use the money for food and other things you complain about, but he said he won’t collect it under the umbrella of house rent that never.
I see it upside down for a man to be saying he is paying rent and see it that he is dashing me. When I can pay my rent by myself and he knows fully well. If I was living alone the same way he has been living alone, won’t I do my repair, dstv subscription etc without asking anybody? So why is it a big deal the moment I stepped in? This are things if my friend came to live with me to God who made me I would do/ take responsibility for because the dstv subscription I would have paid for before won’t change with your presence...the only thing that may change is water and food and so if they contributed it would go towards that.
This is dating phase, please what marriage would become of this.
Am I the one at fault?
I need honest reviews so I can know if I am having problem and if I need to work on myself or if I need to run.
My parents marriage wasn’t like this my dad bought food and mum did other investments for the family or so and it was never an issue or was there a specific fight that you, you are not buying enough milk on the house or I can’t see d 10k food u said you just bought...it doesn’t look it etc.
He would also say me I want to be saving my money and all.
Pls what’s d way forward or backward married folks, married men and women, what am I not seeing that you can see?

I seem to see a box of flags - mostly red. Some of them are as follows:
1. Asked you out for over a year without any plan. No No.
2. You moved in with him. This flag, you painted it red by yourself.
3. You ought not to have sex before marriage, but as it seems okay to you both, the fact that the current setting is void of it means it will only get worse later on.
4. His colleagues begged you. As in, if the guy is really after you he will do stuff to get you. It just seems like his colleagues wanted him to get a good girl not the other way round.
5. Not appreciative. This is not a good attitude. Think of tomorrow, when you keep doing good stuff, he will not believe or appreciate you. Especially for a lady, it can weigh on your mental health as nothing you do will give him joy or pleasure. Complements are good medicine for the brain and heart.
6. He wanted you to contribute when you work. A guys natural instinct ought to be to provide for and protect his woman. It is really weird that before marriage he wants you to be contributing, after marriage nkor? Before you came was he not watching dstv? Or is it more expensive because you are watching?

All that is going on now will most definately get worse. If you choose to stay, you are alright with this as the minimum standard. Dating is when the guy is absolutely drunk with love and does crazy things which reduces with time. I guess his real attitude is coming out now.

Remember 1.5 years is nothing compared to a lifetime. Thank God children are not in the mix. Be wise.

Or DM n we directly xchange?

Found it!

Thanks all

Hi all,

Please does anyone know were data on Nigerian Covid-19 cases can be obtained.

It should have at least daily resolutions on confirmed cases, recoveries and deaths.

Thank you and appreaciate responses.

czarr:
It is nothing but using the pumpumn as a weapon to pressure men into marriage.

You are not being fair to the guys....and i will explain.

Can you accept the following conditions,then i will know you are fair.

*he would not kiss you or hug you till marriage

*he would only call you once or twice a month

*he would not compliment you till marriage

*he would not ask you to visit him till marriage

*he would not buy you gifts till marriage

*he will not take you out till marriage

*you can only see him twice a month 1 hour each day

The thing is men have a drive for sex,and women have a drive to receive care and attention and if you not prepared to have sex with him....he should not give you the attention,care and validation you crave for.....if he does that he is getting the short end of the stick.

Men should not be made to feel like bad people or perverts for wanting sex as they were biologically designed to do.

All is fair in love and war.

To the few ladies out there. Just know that NOT all guys out there want sex before marriage. Guys love sex, as do ladies. But don't let this guy pressure to think you must give sex. There are still guys who will wait.

And for God's sake. If the guy wants to spend the rest of his life with you, that's 40 plus years, what's 3 years without sex? Abeg, do not be pressured to sex before marriage. Do it if you want to. You never HAVE to!

People, correct me if I am wrong.

HTML is NOT a programming language, technically. It is a markup language, as CSS is a styling language.

Now we are done with semantics, I suggest PYTHON. Versatile, popular, currently quite relevant and gives a good intro. to the programming language world.

Jeromejnr:


No I wont give you any verse Sir.

Besides, the premise of your argument against my earlier statement is very silly, seeing that you indirectly support the dishonouring of those placed in authority above you without consequence.

Why should I continue this conversation.

Waw!

"above you"? You presume that I am a Christian. More so, I seem to be more open to discuss things of your religion. How then do you evangelise as it seems you result to insults when questions are asked.

You refuse to give me a reference in the Bible for a question I asked about what you believe, and instead ask me to read the entire book.

Fine. Remain with yourself.

It's just pitiful, as I have had a lot more civil discussions with other Christians and they do not behave like you. Are you a Christian?

Jeromejnr:


Start from the bible; Genesis 1 and read to Revelations.

Thank you.

You are asking that I read the whole Bible, right?

But you said that you know several verses. I am just asking you tell me a few of them. Or don't you know?

Jeromejnr:


So you don't know what anointing does and you were blindly arguing??

That's the problem I have with many Nigerians, they just argue with assumptions and sentiments. That's is why you will see one who hardly goes to Church and read their bibles or even spend time in developing their relationship with God criticising Pastors as if they know better.

Young man, go and educate yourself on what an anointing is and what it does and come back. There is even a scripture thay helps define the anointing. But you wouldn't know that- would you.

'No I would not'. This is why I am kindly asking you to please refer me to the Bible verses.

Yes, I was blindly arguing. Now I want to know. Please send the Bible verses you spoke about. I don't know where to start from.

Jeromejnr:


Sigh.

First of all, I know you dont even know what anointing means.

So until I can know what you understand by anointing, this conversation will be stalled.

Dont worry, there are a lot of verses both Old NT and New NT to give you.

Okay, I do not know what anointing is. Please give me Bible verses that speak about it.

Just give me 3 each, NT and OT.

Jeromejnr:


It's a long talk. I cant type that here.

But Moses, Aaron and their Sister can answer your question. Especially for the last question.

There is a difference in anointing between an Apostle, prophet, teacher, Pastor e.t.c.

No need to talk. Just Bible verses.

Difference in anointing? Bible verse please.

Moses, Aaron and their Sister. . . were old testament times where a few people were anointed and all other received instruction from them. Not now.

Like I say, no talk, just Bible verses that CLEARLY corroborate what you are saying. By corroborate, I am insinuating that at least two different quotes should speak about a point. Not just one verse out of context please.

I am waiting...

Jeromejnr:
Yes, if people had read the bible, those who assault an anointed one will always get punished unless they repent. (But this is the so called modern age, so people will form all sorts of educational enlightenment as excuses)

Example of stories, David and Saul, Moses and his siblings, Elijah and the Children e.t.c.

Unfortunately, people won't still believe.

But some people wont understand my comment and will quote and say things like: "are they God?", "does that mean they can behave anyhow?" Blablabla".

Anyways whether they behave anyhow or not, if you assault an anointed one you will be punished eventually.

Just saying.

Please, what does it mean to be anointed?

Are only pastors anointed?

What makes a person a pastor? Owns Church? Has the title prefixed to his name?

Biblically, what is the difference between a pastor and a believer?

I will not do that.

Ok

Any reliable exchanger willing to buy $18 paypal fund?

"I am willing!"

You really need to talk to her.

Shes 7 years old so 'wrestling' may not cut it. She should already have a form of sex education for her level. Let her know it's sex between mummy and daddy (again explained for her level and age) and apologise that she got to see that.

Never brush it away. It can have long term effects if not handled well. If your hubby had beaten her, it could have scared her. Maybe she is already scared and so the mood. You need wisdom to slay those fears with appropriate and truthful content.

Sex education is not just explaining the full, detailed picture when the child is old enough. It's constantly adding layers of age-appropriate detail through a child's life from the age we can communicate with them well after they are married and sexually active.

Curfew from tonight!

Ahh?

Hello everyone - I'm not quite sure whether this is the right section to post this. Anyways, I currently hold a Master's degree and I also recently gained admission into a PhD program in a UK university but with no funding from the school and the estimated total cost of the tuition and living expenses amount to about #16 million for the 3 years.
So, I decided to come seek the opinion of folks here with better experience if it really worth spending this amount in the long run or should I rather invest this amount?
Thank you in advance!

First of all, #16mil for a 3 yr PhD in the UK? Are you sure?

With current black market exchange rate, that may not pay tuition for 2 yrs in any UK uni.

Please recheck your values.

My answer to your question is a question, sorry: ever heard of anyone who return from a UK PhD and regretted?

Kekereekun123:
Sometimes when you look back at how women treated you as a good and calm guy over the years you begin to think should I turn into a heartless beast?

I have friends who treat them like trash but the ladies still keep chasing them. Some don't even have money or cars o.

Trash is relative. Some ladies have gone through much worse than what you call trash.

Watch family court cases on youtube, it will give you some context.

God help us all.

If this is true, it is so sad!

Did they airlift everything? Or part?
If everything, I really don’t know what to say.
