Infact, when you want to get involved in a business environment with a Nigerian, the moment they start saying God bless you......


Run for your life, that mention of God is the camouflage and signal to hoodwink, hypnotize, then finally scam you....... wink

This UK education system is too rigid for my liking, why Will a child who is going to be 4 ON Sept 6 remain at home when school resumes ON Sept 5. So the child stays at home for 1 whole year just because she came 1 day late, lol. Has any one else felt this way or it's just me

If your initial job was with the NHS or health related, then you can claim your refund back starting from March 31st 2020. Ideally, all health workers on a Tier 2 should have gotten an auto refund. That's my understanding. Please check the link below

I prefer it to Nigerian style of rush rush rush....and yes rules and organisation matters even if its one day later, no but of if

so yes sept 1st babies onward have to join the next year class in England.

I have an oyibo friend whose daughter was born August 30th, she delayed the girl one year that she doesn't want her to be the youngest in the class....I was like this can never be a naija parent. When even those in sept are wishing they can go cheesy

I think the March 31st start date is key. Cause we swapped in January and didn’t get a refund.

Then once you have worked for six months starting from the date you swapped, you can apply for a refund (assuming the scheme will still be open)
Even students on Tier 4 visa should be able to apply if they work as care worker. If you know you did more that the allowed 20 hours weekly, biko, look left cos your NI will be required.

Which city has more blacks between Glasgow and Edinburgh? Maybe a healthy mixture of other races but not predominantly white

In a position to advice but I don’t have enough info to do so.
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by TAUdo: 10:17pm On May 11, 2021
Hi. I'm new here. I need your advice please. I want to study in UK (MASTERS Marketing) and I wish to travel with my hubby and 10 year old Daughter.
I'm confused on where to school.
I am already talking to UKEAS but I'm clueless on which schools are good for Nigerians to study in UK especially considering location too?
Which location in UK is best for NIGERIAN students that has a family?

My daughter too will have to enroll in a school too in the UK

I'll appreciate your response

Facebook marketplace or gumtree but you’ll have to pick it up one phone at a time I guess.

On detergents, trial and error till you find one that works for ya. Currently using Sunlight and don’t notice any issues.

Ariel and surf are okay as well. I haven't noticed any form of fading. But come TO think of it, whats the setting of your washing machine like? If it washes for more than 1hr or 1:30mins, its probably ON a wrong setting.

Thank u, that setting is something else o. I use hand to control the wash now as the machine can wash for 3hr non stop.

And the landlord do not agree that we should by our own.

I believe everyone on this thread is now wise enough, not to fall for scammers calls....

Someone just received a fake inner london court arrest warrant...... She already transferred £800.00 to them, before their juju clear from her eye's......

If you receive any cold calls, sms or emails, demanding any form of payments..... You should have a default position set, that all unwarranted money requests are SCAMS .....
