You can still drive with your provisional license supervised by a full license holder, however if you get pulled over for an offence, the points will go on your provisional license in advance Cus points can’t be added on to the international one.

Mind you, your 1st 2yrs as a full license holder you are still on probation and shldnt have more than 6 points else they will revoke the license. Now if u carry over any points from provisional over to full license you will be driving on egg shell
DeeOneBangin:
Who’s up for some argumentshuh

Mass of information out there claiming that once you get a provisional, you can’t drive anymore on your international license even if you haven’t spent up to 12 months.

DeeOneBangin:
Baba which license would you advice. Do I go for manual or automatic? I just passed the theory test and I wanna start taking driving lessons.

Back in naija I started driving with manual, but in the last 8 years all my cars have been automatic.

I have no issues driving anyone but I just need suggestions.

[quote author=omopapa


Good day comrade.

Please I sincerely need your candid advice.

I am a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist.

I intend going for further studies in the UK. I got admission to study MSc Biomedical Science in Nottingham Trent Uni. Also, got another MSc to study Medical Bioscience in Glasgow Caledonian Uni. I'm still awaiting decision for offer in Molecular Microbiology from Sheffield Hallam Uni and Biomedical Science in Hull.

Here in Nigeria, I work as a Molecular Scientist. Which of these offers should I pursue?

One, as one who has already gotten HCPC.
Two a Molecular Scientist
Three, a "Nigerian" who would sure need to survive. I just want to top up my learning with a MSc as I graduated since 2013.

I'm not keen about doing routine lab practices in Haem, biochemistry, micro etc

@omopapa and others, kindly assist.

1. Open a high street bank account (Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, NatWest)

2. Apply to vote to be added on the electoral roll (Nigerians are allowed to register and vote in the UK as commonwealth citizens)

3. Open a credit file by applying for sim only contract from EE, 3, Vodafone

4. Apply and maintain a good credit card (capital one or your bank account)

5. Check your credit report for free with clearscore, Experian, credit karma, equifax

Go for the induction as a band 4 don’t declare that you got a job as a band 5 yet Cus employment checks can take a while.

Give 4 weeks notice after the induction and tell the band 5 job your start date will be in 4 weeks
Adewumi2888:
One of my concerns. band 5 just gave me a call after interview that I got the job. By the time they are done with their checks, my induction and resumption date for band4 would have passed. This band 4 took 4 weeks before checks were completed. DBS, OT and references check.

I LOVE every word in the response and I can picture you saying this in person with a stern face grin
LagosismyHome:
HR will be fine smiley cheesy . I normally don't even think twice. ... confirm your band 5 , ensure it is secure and give band 4 a call. Las las everyone will be ok. You take care of you first

Since you are using the word band , I guess both are NHS jobs, maybe the referencing will be quicker since you gone through similar within NHS. Be open to both parties once you said yes to band 5 and take it from there. Band 4 will understand, inconvenient yes but u won't be the first or last to do this

Don’t feel bad bro, it’s part of the experience. You shld call them back to get feedback from the interview. They will tell you what you did well and where you didn’t do so well so you improve and use that in other interviews you attend. It could also be that they preferred someone who has been in the UK longer than yourself. Don’t give up and keep trying, you will get there soon
Osoderi:
I am not happy here, after putting in all my best in job interview for a PA role in one of the big four accounting firm, i was successful in the first stage I did in Nigeria, the final interview was in uk , I was asked the same questions which I knew I did well, just for me to receive a regret mail that I was unsuccessful, I keep asking my self what went wrong, is it because I don't have UK experience? I put in my best and have years of experience in the role. What went wrong ( feeling so sad). I need advice please.

What can I do to get adminstrative jobs in the UK, honestly I have been applying. I know the job that I can easily get is care work, but I don't really like it. Please I need advice to stand my feet in this UK what best to start doing.

Just need advice to be strong in this UK.

Please if there is anybody living in Northampton kindly let me know, I am really feeling alone here.

Many thanks

This person's pastries, in my opinion, are the best. I have lived in the UK for so long and tried all sorts and yet to find anyone who can beat theirs. They deliver to any where in UK - link below. Packaging is on point and they even take custom orders. Try them out!
