Please can someone help with documents needed to bring dependent ( spouse) to Uk. I am on skilled worker visa.
Hi, I read your response about being a software tester. Recently I've been thinking of moving from content creation to software testing because I find coding challenging at my age (I want to pick ST over software development or engineering).

Please, what is the job prospect like in ST? I mean, are there available jobs in the field?

I look forward to your response.

Lol ....Dey there dey disguise......u ddnt realize anything,.....may God forgive all of you supporting wicked insensitive leaders

The rich is never the target, because the rich knows how to create fictitious expense in their balance sheet to escape paying huge tax and even make the poor pay for them to smile to the bank

.... Go and check Starbucks for example...the have been reporting losses forever despite great sales by increasing fake cost.
.
..same for Mark Zuckerberg, the weréy reduces his personal tax liability by using his company to pay 100 of millions to his security firm for protection by claiming his life is in danger reducing both personal tax liability and increasing company expense,

This tax is targeted at everyday individuals and that's why the tax exempt is so small set at 66k per month

It is wickedness to be saying you are doing Nigerians a favor by not taxing the first 66k when u have destroyed the economy and pple can't even survive with 150k anymore..

There is no deductable allowance for children or dependent as obtainable abroad, there is no personal allowance deductable....

.....federal govt just wants to ignore the fact that pple have children to care for and bills to pay ...that's not how tax works abroad...this is robbing nigerians
The 66k is not individual income. It's household income. That is, a household will only avoid tax if both the husband and the wife don't make up to 67k in a month (combined income less than 67k).

This is totally false. Narrations will have absolutely no effect on whether a transaction will be taxed or not, Oyedele already confirmed this. How do you guys get your information?
Unfortunately, I don't quote people back. We shall see when the time comes. How do they apply automation?

This was the same way I posted that WHT will be deducted from previous instruments instead of new one. Na so one guy quote me. I couldn't go back to ask him how far now. No be Naija again?
BusinessRe: Nigeria's New Tax Laws FAQS By National Orientation Agency Director by onlyhope: 12:44pm On Jan 17
This post from NOA Ondo State chapter just confirmed that tax will be charged from peoples accounts. They will check all the transactions made and those not including narrations or those with narration of business or trade will be charged.

They will do it the same way they are charging WHT from people's investment account. The problem with this automation is that any failure to add narration to a transaction entering an account will be assumed to be for a business deal. By January 2027, Everybody will know what's up.

He was not poverty-ridden, hence such talk never emanated from his mouth, and for good reason. Na poverty-ridden men dey always talk of how dem take care of women. grin
You asked how much the guy would be paying his wife for her services.

First, was your dad paying your mom for being married to him?

Secondly, if a man must pay a woman for basic house chores, which he can do himself, will the woman also pay him for rent, feeding, school fees of children, security fees, entertainment, and black tax?
FamilyRe: Pastor Tells Of How Used Marriage To Deny Wife Of Dream Of Becoming A Doctor by onlyhope: 5:36am On Nov 25, 2025
Kobojunkie:
1. You don't get to decide for others what they can judge or not judge. That man's entire platform as a pastor sets him up to judge indiscriminately, everyone he picks on out there. What makes you think that others can't play the Uno reverse card and judge him on his own words, too? undecided

2. She was not serious about her goals, even though the Pastor admitted to his followers that he was, in fact, the one who decided against her going to do her medical program as her husband. Are you certain you are OK? undecided
1. You should be the one who should get checked whether you are okay. Are you certain you are ok? At least many people on this platform attest that your cognitive ability is in doubt!

2. Women want the man to be the sole provider, so, logically, the sole provider will make moves that bring in more cash into the household. Moreover, if he makes the more money, that's more money to spend for the house. A woman wants to make money, while keeping the bulk of it for her use. She decides if she will use any for her immediate family or use for other things, unlike a man who must provide for his family compulsorily.

3. Dr. Zeeta or not, by the way, the Dr. is human, not a deity, and again, TikTok is just a social media platform to chase clout! I insist the lady could have achieved her dreams if she wanted. The fact that she chose to stay in the marriage shows her complacency with the no-futher-study arrangement.

4. You can judge all you want, but it does change the fact that everyone makes sacrifices in a relationship. Many men had to abandon their dreams for the family. It happens both ways.

budaatum:
And the small man is rejoicing that he intentionally used their marriage to humiliate and reduce his own wife, and his future too.

And in the future when she resents him for killing her future, some here will blame the woman.
1. What was your proof that the man hates his wife?

2. This story was posted by the man himself and he used it to pass a message. Except they will not marry, but the man and the woman have to make secrifices in a marital union.

3. Happiness is not something you can quatify or define for people. Some people write exams and pass, they are happy. Some are happy when you prepare their best meal for them.

3b. Happiness can be momentary. You, whatever happiness you had as a single, unmarried person, can be had by married people. In fact, happiness can be momentary, or for the long term, but it doesn't mean that it has to be everyday. "As long as you are alive and there is peace, happiness will come".

Kobojunkie:
Again, this all started because you fed us word of mouth, which you wanted us to believe, or did you not? And we have this other guy who makes the same claim, but his actions tell us that this is instead a man who literally hates/detests the woman he is married to. So, why am I wrong in asking you to provide us with a way to measure your claim differently from this man's? undecided
1. You and other feminists are not the one to judge this pastor because it was his personal story, and he actually stated and I quote: "claimed marriage to be a distraction, not from his own dreams and desires, but for his wife."

2. From the way you make your inferences on this platform and your ideologies, one should be bold to say it was the wife of the pastor who was not serious with her goals.

Why?

(i) She could have divorced him if it wasn't working for her (this is often your school of thought).
(ii) Must she study abroad? She can enroll for medicine in any university in Nigeria, even private university.

3. She had a dream of becoming a med, but she had to marry first. Why not use her means to become a med before marriage?

4. So, her dream was to go abroad before she becomes a med. There are no medical schools in Nigeria.

Yes, Russia has the highest firepower on earth, Russia is the most militarily powerful nation on earth, and so what?

We are asking for peace and you also posted about a peace deal, then you came of ranting about people killing themselves because of what?

Whether Russia is killing everyone on earth does not matter to you, since you're pro-Russian. Why then did you post this news if you'd still rant about a peaceful world.

It is still the same US that you despise that's still pushing for peace between the warring nations.

Whatever it takes, we want peace in the world. That's why a plan such as this was drafted. [b]Moreover, in war there's no victor or vanquish.

Based on his criteria, let's evaluate each option practically:

📌 Final Recommendation Order
Rank Suggested Path
✅ #1 Software Testing (QA → Automation)
✅ #2 Salesforce Administration
✅ #3 Data Analytics
🟡 #4 UI/UX or Product
⚠️ Others — only if passion exists

🎁 Suggested Starter Roadmap

For QA
Skill Tools
Manual Testing SDLC, STLC, Test writing
API Testing Postman, Swagger
Automation Selenium / Cypress, Python/JS
CI basics Jenkins/GitHub Actions

For Data Analytics
Skill Tools
Excel Advanced functions, Pivot tables
SQL PostgreSQL/MySQL
BI Power BI / Tableau

For Salesforce
Path Steps
Salesforce Admin Cert Salesforce Trailhead → Practice → Certification

🧠 Final Note

He doesn't need the most glamorous tech path — he needs the sustainable one.

Software QA → Automation OR Salesforce → Consultant are his sweet spots.
Thank you platymus. I really appreciate. From your highlights, one of the two suggested stacks will be chosen. Thank you once again.

too late already


just pivot to some mangement role or finance
Finance for someone who doesn't have a finance background?

Note that the person in question was a web designer though not developer. He knows one or two about web design, graphics, and non-coding aspects of tech as posted earlier.

He just wishes to focus on one area now. Can you make suggestions for him based on the itemized tech stacks?
ProgrammingWhat Tech Stack Should He Choose by onlyhope(op):
What Tech Stack would you suggest for a man in his late 30s, who has been in the non-coding aspect of tech but is now considering entering into core tech?

Now these are his considerations:

1. He doesn't want a tech stack that would make him think too much because of high blood pressure.

2. He wants a tech stack that is procedural, i.e., once he learns the skill, the skill can be applied directly to solve real-world/industrial challenges.

3. A tech stack that has job prospects both home and abroad (i.e., not saturated field).

Which would best fit his description amongst the following options:

a. Fullstack development
b. Software testing
c. Cybersecurity
d. Data analytics/data engineering
e. Salesforce administration
f. UI/UX design/product management
g. Robotics
h. Mobile app development
i. DevsOp engineer

What do deities gain from you constantly praising them. What does a Tinibu or a big boy gain from you hailing him? But they'll reward you for it because they do gain something. All gains are not calculated in money!
You've somehow sneaked abstinence into the equation. Where did OP say he was abstaining?
You are not ready for this conversation. First, have you ever seen me praise any politician here?

You presume I can get rewarded for hailing a politician [who are mere humans] when it's not needed, but a diety doesn't reward? Mind you, I used the word "religion/religious" not diety. Religion rewards whether you like it or not. That's a discussion for another day.

As for your responses, I didn't know you were specifically quoting the OP. If your answers are for the OP only, well, then no problemo.

However, you should know that other people read responses on this forum. Some may go as far as applying it in their relationships or dealings. Let's be guided.

Adoration, being a female someone's "god", and being seen as a successful player who has his own personal hoe!
"Adoration" is payment to you? Do you adore your parents for example? Is it some form of payback (reward) to them?

"A personal hoe" that term is against the very essence of "abstinence" from premarital sex. I can infer you know that asides sex, which you are calling the reward for spending lavishly for a woman without reasoning, there is no reward or profit in spending like a fool for a hoe (mind you, no, a faithful, commiitted, and contributing wife is not a hoe).

If you call a non-contributing woman a hoe, and society and government consider hoes "useless," you can complete the statement.

Being a female someone's god? I believe you just decided to add that for lack of words.

The same "females" who want society to disregard all cultural norms (for example serving husband meals on their knees; they also clamour for equality even in leadership in politics and religious organizations) are the same ones that will regard a man as god?

Just updated it above.
BusinessRe: New Tax Law by onlyhope: 1:10pm On Sep 19, 2025
However, note that the tax will be charged on total household income.

For example, if you are married and your partner makes 2 million naira annually, your tax will be calculated from the total (5.6 million).
BusinessRe: New Tax Law by onlyhope:
suckprick:
Please someone should explain this new tax law to me using the example below because I don't really understand it.


A crypto p2p trader

Beginning of the month:
Current balance: 1m

At Month end:
Current balance now 1.3m

Outflow or debit for the month: 23m

Inflow or credit for the month: 24.3m

How will the tax be calculated? I need clarification on the above example so as to prepare ahead by going full crypto if necessary. wink
Let's assume you are using your personal account (not a registered company), and you make 300k monthly as profit from your explanation above.

In a year, your total profit will be 3.6 million. From the new tax law, any amount below 3m will be taxed at 15%, while any amount above it will be taxed at 18%; 800k will be untaxed. Your total tax for the year will be 438k. Which means you'll pay 36,500 monthly as tax.

Your net income after tax will be 263500.
