RomanceRe: 'how Do I End A Blood Covenant Relationship I Made With My Boyfriend? He Refuses by okposm: 8:23pm On Jan 15, 2022
Giftlove11:
I was being blinded by love to the extent that my boyfriend and I took a blood covenant, that was about some years ago..

The truth is that I was so madly in love with him, and when he brought out the ideal, I thought that was the only way he will be mine forever. So I agreed with him, and we made the convenant.. We use needle to cut out blood from our thumb, and we made a vow never to live each other or make love with another person..

i've been discussing with him to end this convenant, but he always refuses. We took the convenant when i was 17yrs, and Its been 8years now, and i've loved only him. Even though i don't love him again, i'm afraid to have or make love with another person.
he say we can't end it and that we must mary each other.

I already found someone else i love, i'm planning to report him to the police or his parents if he dosn't give me a chance to go away..

*i don't kno if it will actually hurt me if i love another person.

i really want to go away from him
I am trying very hard not to say something. U cant tell tell me u have never watched the repercussion of this on nollywood. Then why did u go into it sweetheart. The thing is not something bothe can just walk away like that. U have to meet a pastor into deliverance. The breaking of this type of yoke taken with blood is a strong one.

Let me just chip this in. From my observation here in the UK, these indians are genius. If according to what i know about genius. In our Java Class, a guy who resumed in September completed the coursework in less than 3 hours. What will all have been doing group meeting for, this is a guy who came barely October ending nearly a week to end of course. He has never coded in java. All the oyinbo gather the guy like he was einstein. I also notice same in cyber forensic class, in our lab we have classwork for two hours, before twenty minutes the indians will submit and leave the class. When we are still studying the classwork description, trying part one.

Those guys are good and best thing about them is their cooperation is out of this world. Northerns dey learn work for where this guys dey. An Indian guy who resumed late see are dey gather the guy give him all the materials, speak their language adding him to course group. Before a week the guy was already settled. Mine case was different the only Nigeria guy there dey speak phoney, behaving like something I don't know, because he has been in the UK for quite a long.

grin so sorry.

From what our seniors here have said, and what I heard on blogs, I can say the indians are just like the people from the northern part of Nigeria. They always look for ways to accommodate their own. That is the reason people from the North will keep going higher in any area you find them in Nigeria and not because of intelligence.

The southerners will always fight themselves with pull him down syndrome and we unknowingly take this out . I read a story in a group where a lady decided not stay with the elder sister who lives with two kids and her husband in a four bedroom duplex The plan by the elder sister was that the lady will live it her while the lady pays her fees herself. But because of what the lady perceived during her visit she decided not to stay

According to her, when the sister comes to Nigeria they sleep on the same bed. But when she visited uk, the sister gave her mattress to sleep on the floor in the same room. Even though the bed could accommodate two people comfortably.

I think we should watch it and not complain about uk opening the flood gate of indians. If it were to be a Nigerian, that had the power to influence things, will he or she do that for his or her countrymen? Let's just continue to sip tea and continue kicking my brothers out.

Banks no longer give Pounds for PTA since about July this year. You can only get pounds from the Black Market or you travel with your dollars and change it with a BDC when you arrive the UK.
Have u done it before? Don't Try it o. Change the dollars to naira and then convert to pounds. It is better that way. The commission they collect and the the cross rate is high.

NovesaTillie:
Good morning and merry Christmas everyone.

Please I'm in dilemma and really need some good advice.
This guy and I have been on this relationship thing for 5 months now with occasional misunderstandings here and there. The first one was because he visited me and refused to go after the time he said he would leave, when he finally left I got back home from work only for the security to call me that I have a visitor at the main gate and behold it was him.
I allowed him stay the night because he's a nice guy, really good in bed and also helps in the house to do stuff like wash the dishes and cooking.

Fast forward to December 15th we agreed he comes over and we spend the Christmas at my place then go to his place from 27th so we can enjoy the new year there. As we agreed, he came to my place on 17th of December and has not made any moves to leave or for us to go to his place. I am moved to create this thread because I got home from work yesterday and noticed more of his things have been arranged in the wardrobe with his shoes arranged by the front door..

Please how do I address this? I can't go on like this. He eats a lot. Snores also.
Is relationship not supposed to be the other way around why is he moving into my apartment like I'm going to marry himhuh
We both stay in Abuja.

Mods please kindly move to Frontpage.
Tell him straight that guy has not purpose and he is typical of Ana Abuja guy looking for a lady to feed them.

Not sure if this can be in politics; however, I know this post will reach more audience. MOD feel free to move to appropriate section.

Accountants, Lawyers, knowledgeable persons on taxes in Nigeria.

If an employer decides to give Christmas gifts to employees, will this gift be taxable? If the gift is a bag of rice how will it be taxed? If the monetary equivalent, will it be taxed?
Those things are taxable if u really want to follow the law under PIT. They are called BIK benefit in kind and 5% is the total value is taxable. But u can just find one expense head and warehouse there. Then under CIT certain conditions have to be met for it to be tax deductible. Such gift must bear the company name on it. Which we know bag of rice will not meet that criteria. So just spread it across some expense heads and don't describe it as bag of rice cos if FIRS gets hold of the GL, it will be disallowed.

People hardly use it because it is not as fast as walk-in. You'd be given appointment and you'd have to go on the appointment date and it's usually days after your booking, it varies. But walk-in is fast, your appointment can be next month and you do walk-in tomorrow.
They could get a closer date by choosing that option.

I am trying to console my friend here.
He filled Yes in picture 1 question rather than No. This is the 1st time he's applying for a UK Visa.
I just showed him mine which is picture 2 and he's been mourning all day.

My question is, has anyone made this type of mistake and gotten a visa? Is it negligible having submitted a copy of his CAS too and English Language ability highlighted there?

1. Should he cancel the application and submit another?

2. Should he contact UKVI via paid mail or call, and inform them?

3. Should he relax?

@Justwise, @Aprokodaughter and anyone with this kinda experience should please give an insight on this.
Thank you.
It doesn't matter. My friend filled yes and I filled no we both got our visas.

Note: Attached with the electronic copy of the letter are copies of his P60 and int'l passport.

Thanks to all in advance for your candid suggestions and answers
He should sign and scan. I used that on a previous application.

Very tough. I applied for social work at Liverpool Hope and Manchester Metropolitan University and Lincoln University and adult nursing for two other Uni. For social work (Liverpool Hope and Man Met) it's a written test and oral interview. YouTube has videos to help you how to answer oral interview questions for social Work. Be ready to burn data.Lincoln was just oral interview but it was tougher than other oral interviews. Passed both Man Met and Lincoln interview. For Liverpool Hope I passed the oral interview but failed the written test. However it was my first Social work interview so I just prepared for the rest and passed. The written test is all about using your initiative and unpredictable because you don't even know where to read from . I ended up going for Adult Nursing tho. Goodluck.
Please I am asking for a relative. Please which course was your first degree? and which school did you apply to for adult nursing

no let greed push you too far o. Once NHS is not your direct employer, you cant work unlimited hours.

But do not sound this to anyone as a piece of advice as it is against the rule.

Please I need help. I have like 8.5m in my bank account but my POF after deposit and paying additional tuition fee is about 7.4m. it's already matured but among the 28days, I did a debit of 1.4m out and immediately credited it back after like 1hour same day, so will that affect me in anyway. Please reply me as soon as possible.
From your explanation, the money was less than your POF. If the money goes less than your POF, even for a second, then you have to start counting again.

I did subscribed for a year too. Infact, I subscribed when the annual subscription was still about 61k. Unfortunately, It declined my IHS payment upto 10times(I had to start new Visa application like 3times) . I wasted money calling their customer service several times, chatted them, went physically to the bank, they couldn't reconcile the issue. They kept saying there's no problem with the card, I should try again in the next 24 hours. For over a week I tried, no way! Although I successfully used it to pay Visa fees($486), it could not even pay for Priority service afterwards. Well, for me, I feel Access bank cheated me.
When I did mine it was at night on a weekday. The people I knew had this problem used it on a weekend. Can u confirm?

To be honest I don't know. For instance, I received a nsf mail last week to show evidence of deposit into my account above 1m. I had to scan deposit tellers of these payments to ukvi. U can imagine if I dint have these tellers.
So it is best not to show money above 1m in ur soa.
Just avoid the stress.
Am waiting for a favorable response from them this coming week.

Good afternoon Fam,

Please help share your opinion on this.

I was having a random chat with a friend today on things to be careful of when packaging applications and he said "once you start counting your 28-days PoF maturity, ensure you don't receive a substantial amount of money in the same account, else you'll have to explain the source of the money". So in context, if you need 5m for PoF and you already have 5m+ in the account, ensure any deposit coming to the account within the maturity period is something below say, 50k per transaction. if you drop say like 500k or 1m in the account, you'll have to explain the source of the money.

I kind of disagree with him, I believe the concern should be the money not going below the required amount. In the case where 5m PoF is required, and the opening balance is 5m, even if the closing balance is 7m, it shouldn't be an issue.

Please am I right or he is?
There is no right or wrong thing here. Thread on the path of caution. One person may get away with it and the other way may not. It doesn't cost you anything to explain. Aftermath before now, people were not submitting cv to explain study gap
