if you have a friend or know anyone working with any of the big four (pwc especially), speak to them. They can refer you. I can but it's difficult dropping personal contacts on a public forum like this.
Ok thanks do you still have access to the mail connected to your username?

FoodRe: This Fried Rice Doesn't Go Bad Quickly - See The Secret (Photos, Video) by Poanan:
Tokskob2008:
The too many ingredients might actually leads to it getting spoilt faster. I have seen where fried rice was cooked in the morning and it became really bad before 7pm same day and I have also eaten fried cooked on 1st of January that was still very much "eatable" on the 3rd.
That is because of what they did to the rice and the liver.

Ok na now u remember say you love ur wife to be.
No try tell her!!!
It will break her down emotionally.
After all the whole trust she gave u..
The girl wey carry belle for u,
Wetin make you no give her postinor 2?
You where supposed to be careful as your marriage is close.
But you let your illiterate dick to ruin your plans.
I wouldn't advice you to abort the baby
Cos it's illegal...
Devil don use u shine!!!!
So you no know say pre-cum fit pregnant a lady?
Baba the thing don enter...
U see wetin one nightstand don cause u...
My advice to u is to go and run a scan on the pregnant girl and read ur calendar well.
But before you read ur calendar, mind you sperm can thrive in the cervix of a woman up to 3days.
From the scan results, u will see the developmental stages of the foetus, how many weeks old it is...
Now u substrate it from the date u had sex wt the girl. If it tallies, Abobby na you get the belle.
If it does not Tally, just raise your hands and thank God, cos no be u get the belle.
Show her your findings, she will confess the truth.
Thank me later
He is likely to be responsible. I dont think a scan will tell the age of foetus right away. Rather thw date of last period has a role to play when doing these calculations

You are very right, those who don’t believe don’t have to believe. You might be earning £20 per hour as a carer if you work for an agency, depending on the type of agency you work for/your role… Got here December last year, started with an agency who was paying £11.5, felt the money wasn’t enough, moved to another agency paying £20 per hour on weekdays, £25 on weekends… Same Healthcare Job… Still heard about another agency that pay as high as £30 per hour but not currently recruiting HCA… Bottom line is, £11 per hour is really a small amount to some people even way before they came here…

All the best

Good morning my people.
Having been in the Uk for over two months now studying at University of west London, I will like to advise admission seekers to opt for better options, only come to UWL if it’s your last resort or you don’t have any other option because the fees are too much for such a waste. Firstly, this school should not be a University but a polytechnic or college. The non academic staffs are super rude and the finance team are on another level. Once you get here, even after paying 10k tuition deposit, they will harass you for the balance of your tuition. The environment where the school is, housing cost is over the roof. Any money you are working will go to accommodations unless you have a family member to stay with. Timetable is adjusted at will and very annoying. Imagine having a class at 9am- 10am and another one at 5.30pm to 7.30pm! They will ensure you come to school up to four times a week. If you miss lectures too many times, they will send you emails threatening to send you back to your country oo. Lecturers will take forever to reply your email, I don’t know who gave them the award for student experience but that thing is audio. Forget about scholarships and tuition discounts.
If you are already coming to UWL, I will advise you to bring enough money along o. Again, UWL should be any admission seeker’s last resort because the school No be am at all. Total waste of all that money I must say. I have been researching ways to transfer and if I can get a refund of my tuition or the tuition is sent to another school. Please if you have any information on changing schools kindly help me please.
If it is that 4times in a week thing. U are not the only one. But again it depends on ur course. Some courses are more intensive in nature, especially numerate/quantitative courses. We also have a class that is supposed to end by 6pm but it ends by 7pm. No fault of the lecturer though cos we ask hell of questions especially when we are doing anything software. The lecturer has to wait and carry everybody along.

The only difference is they attend to mails from what i have seen so far in my school even during weekends.

Just take the good sides. Although for my school i have no regret at all. The only thing is it does not give me the luxury of time to work during school term. Cheer up dear.

Good Day everyone, please I have an urgent question. I want to start processing my POF but my sponsor (which is my aunt) said she wants the money to be in her bank account and I should use her bank statement. But when applying to my school I picked the self funded option because I thought she was going to send the money to me.
Now my question is would I be able to use her bank statement, if yes, would I need an affidavit or just a consent letter would suffice.
You are likely to be denied. It is only ur parents or spouse that can sponsor u. Except u have dpcuments to show she is ur legal guardian. I have no idea what legal guardian documents look like.

Well... To each his own.

You are a student, I am not. I don't drive a jeep nor a Mercedes but a small VW golf paid for in cash. I have a credit card but I use sparingly (and truth be told, it has been helpful, once or twice).

I work, earn a very decent living and I am immensely greatful for the opportunity the country has afforded me but again, I know why I am here.


If you can articulate your purpose of being here and work towards it, you can achieve it. This is a land of opportunities, just don't be one of the "Nigeria is dead, I must japa crew!"


Last thing, don't ever do more than yourself, not now, not ever!

Pls what does it mean doctors, nurses and health practitioners in the house.
If she is on antiviral drugs it is possible. It means her viral load has dropped. But she still has it if even if it cant be detected. What i am not sure sure of is if she can infect a person or not.

This is apt. Nah just say I no get time for too much long talk.

Many are in the UK not because condition bad baje.

The conditions in Nigeria are relative and the "government cost" for basic things are near socialist standards, making room for all strata of the demography.

But this UK... Nah just light, credit (a trap) and passport dem get.
U may be right i dont know. Cos i am new here but what i see is that most people bite more than what they can actually chew.

The other day i saw a student driving a jeep. Is the jeep the car he should buy now? Mind you that person has not finished paying school fees and he did not buy the jeep on credit. If the jeep is cheap he should also think about maintenance.

So many people started using the latest iphone within a short time of coming here using credit to buy a phone they could afford while in Nigeria.

I know of someone who drives a very nice benz very clean benz and this person is on minimum wage. At the end of the day, these are the people that will shout nothing in UK. Meanwhile the person is funding a temptation he cant afford for now.

I dont know if there is anything in UK cos I am still in school and I dont do more than myself for now at least.

Don’t limit your application to Big4s try smaller firms too. Most of them now sponsor. Don’t get tired of rejection emails either, try different locations, change your emails (might kee getting rejected at other locations of it had been rejected previously).

Ensure your CV is tailored to the JDs ie key words in JD should be in your CV.

LinkedIn is also a good place to search. Post to your LinkedIn in once in a while. I notice number of recruiters that message me increased anytime I make a new post.

All the best.

I felt bad cos the one on the update service was only for adult and then when i got children and adult i thought i was going to pay again. My bank card had issues then so that was how I didnt add again and didnt accept the job again. when i got a new place they didnt accept the one I gave them because it was not on the update service. It was in course of looking for ways to dodge that money i saw somethjng like adding certificate to update service.

So i had to pay 55pounds for new dbs lol. Meanwhile the first two were free.

Before you start to judge me, remember that the girl you are sleeping with now is also someone’s Ex. Well I cannot say I am totally in the right for sleeping with my friends Ex girl friend- They broke up 2 years ago.

So coincidentally she rented an apartment close to my house. As I was driving I saw her on the way I offered her a ride and that was how it started. That same evening she called me that she is coming to know my house and I accepted. When she came I noticed she was giving me the green light. I took the opportunity and slept with her so good.

Now she cannot get enough from me. She asked if we could date officially. I told her it will be difficult since she was the one who broke up with my friend. I will not lie to myself I have developed feelings for here. And I think I will give Love a chance.
It is not bad. They already broke up tqo years ago. If u like her pkease go ahead.
