No I don't think you can change , however this a question you should ask the school directly.... also to work as a social worker you must have a degree either bsc or ms or ma in social works so if that what you want then best to reject this offer

Thanks, it’s a one year ma course, hope I can travel with my family?

It very sad to watch .... we are no longer our brother keeper or genuine love doesn't seem to exist

A lot of relationships are now "transactional " and based on what they can get receive receive receive without intending togive back .....The LEVEL of entitlement is something else that even those who want to help are put off.

Even something as simple as boy and girl relationships is now about what each other can gain and less about love or feelings. The spouse is now a bank/ money manager .

It’s so sad.
I know of someone who sacrificed his relationship with his wife to bring his younger brother over set him up that one is doing fine when it was that one time to bring over the younger one he said he has gone his family to think about. All his children attend private schools and he is minding his own business with his wife and kids. Fair enough. But this kind of ungrateful behaviour puts people off.

Yes but I stopped practice long ago and not sure about accounting practice in the UK. I am open to any advice my brother.

ICAN intermediate.

Peach tree accounting certified ( 2 time certified)

Quivkbooks accounting certified

Tally Erp certified

If you don’t mind starting low. That’s all you can do, since you haven’t got any UK experience but at least you understand your double entries . Most companies will teach you at that level e.g Accounts assistant then when you have got your feet under the table you can register with ACCA in order to progress. You already have quick books knowledge and if you can find your way around any of the popular accounting softwares e.g sage, quick books etc with a bit of patience you will be on your way up. Your first priority will be to get a bit of experience.

Hi but pls as a student, can you do all these? Whether buyung crypto or shares, as the student visa restricts one from engaging in business activities? Or they aren't part of it? Can yiu pls enlighten me on this? Thanks.

Some shares issue dividends, but your level of investments, determines figure......

You can short sell if you want to, or warehouse them (long term investments). Then close, when it attains a figure you are happy with.......

If you buy penny stocks, you don't expect a miracle overnight. You warehouse, if you love to pray, pray.... If you love to fast, fast..... If nah night vigil, vigil shares to rise....... grin

Isn’t that better than loving someone and then they fall out of love, and you’re left with nothing?

I don’t see anything wrong with transactional relationships. Let’s focus on what we can give each other- cleaner and simpler. Even most Christians have a transactional relationship with God, that’s why when the going gets tough, they falter.

Lol.
Apart from family relationships, African man/woman relationships have always been transactional which is why they worked for us, just the way the white man's relationships were before they discovered idleness and had to fill the time with something so invented romance.
This new one of love wey the white man bring come no dey work - even for them, check the divorce rates.
When you go in on a transactional basis - you bring this to the relationship and I bring that, that's fine as long as everyone is happy with the basis for the transaction.

Na wa ooo. ... that why Nigerians churches have been able to successfully sell the message that for God to bless you , you must bribe by sowing seed or paying tithe . Now our people don't seem to grasp that God grace and love is sufficient and you can serve him not expecting anything back in return or that God can bless you without your tithe or seed. It is well with us and our transactional love

I really don't know how to go about it and would be grateful if I can be enlightened. I was going to get a revolut account to buy crypto but stopped when I was told its not permitted.

I also thought of buying on binance but they requested for BRP as ID so I left that.

For us stock, etoro is very good......

Stake, is also good for us stocks. But funding stake (without premium level). It takes between 24/48 hours for funds reflecting....

With stake, if you use my referral code..... We both get a free share.... I love stake, because you just buy shares and warehouse, and watch them grow ..... wink https://hellostake.com/referral-program?referrer=oyedejij225

This can’t work in Nigeria because both sides of the equation are advantage takers. It also involves a lot of humility this is lacking in Nigeria in large doses. There is a false sense of entitlement to a relatives income without giving anything in return by lazy Nigerians that’s why this can’t work in the typical Nigeria set up. Maybe in the northern part where there is a bit of cooperation amongst themselves, less greed and humility but not in the south.

The bolded above is so true. The only people close to what the ASIANS HAVE IN TERMS OF looking out for the common good are the northerners. even in the south i marvel to watch them enjoy the simple things in life such as ordinary bread and tea in happiness and unity of sharing that i have to credit them for such unity.

In the south on the other hand, i recently read the story of the wife of a Billionaire property tycoon who introduced her blood brother to someone who gave him some business and she wasn't content to her brother giving her regular returns and she wanted to take over the company claiming it belonged to her even though it was registered in the brothers name with CAC. when the brothers wife had had enough of her sister in law trying to control their finances and life she cried out and took the sister in law to court.

We hear daily stories of families who are at each others necks for property in the south and in the south we are so ultra competitive with one another when it comes to money any material things and the level of show off is out of this world and generally in Nigeria majorly in the south, we worship money and are not used to sharing willingly with a clean heart devoid of trying to rub it in or put the other person down and this may account for the rise in suicide in the south as some people will rather die than beg their blood relative for help as they know their relatives will turn round and mock them and see them as failures.

Even something as simple as boy and girl relationships is now about what each other can gain and less about love or feelings. The spouse is now a bank/ money manager .

If I knew what i know now many years ago, i would have tried to see if I could really understand the English people and once I can get round the possibility of my future inlaws being "subtly" racist towards me, I maybe should have settled for an English spouse as in "my estimation" the people who truly love with all they've got are English people.

English people may not go to church or believe in God but they practice every thing in the marital vows - for better for worse, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer and this is my own definition of true love.

I once met an English man on the way from the pub some years ago and we got talking and he said he was unemployed and I asked him how come he has money to visit the pub and he said his wife was a headteacher and her money was his money just like when he was working his money was her money as well. That level of trust and sharing where a wife - a headteacher can give her debit cards to her unemployed husband to go have some fun at the pub will almost likely NEVER happen with a Nigerian couple 'cos in Nigerian marriages there is no trust and the competition between them and between their families is for one person to end up being richer than the other.


The love in English marriages is different from the type practiced by supposedly religious Nigerians who change towards and dump their spouses just because he lost his job "temporarily"

In fact the Muslim marriages nowadays seem to last longer than that of Christians and even though i am a Christian, I have contemplated and still am contemplating marrying a Muslim or even an Indian if I meet one in a romantic setting as they seem to still believe in and practice longevity of marriage and sacrificing for the betterment of the children and they seem to still believe in that life long commitment to marriage and not the "For better for stay, for worse for depart" that seems the norm in most Christian marriages.

Funny but true... an Indian friend who was born in UK in the 70s told me how his father used to go to India yearly and bring at least one or two relatives, this happened in the 70s and 80s claiming they are his children. ..... back then no DNA test. He said Christmas day was always the best for that waka as there was hardly any staff at the airport..... I trust his father wasn't the only one doing this, maybe that why you see so many of them in the UK.

Quite possible as a reason but 2 other reasons could be that i) they are the worlds second most populous country and ii) they believe in making wherever they are their home whilst the generation of Nigerians that came in the 50's and 60's always went back home after their studies and we are still programmed up till today to want to go back to Nigeria finally at some point in our lives.

Yes you can if you’re serious.

Just be very honest in your. CV , brush up on your quick books. Tell them what you know. No lies because you will be tested. I assume you’ve got great excel skills at least intermediate level. Most jobs will give you training at that level.

Good luck go and dust off your old books grin grin

I’d advice u to start paying for your basic groceries shopping/ petrol or transport fare with your new credit card and repaying it immediately you get home or within a week. .... that would help create activities on ur card. Also make sure you never miss paying your bills (phone/electricity/etc) on time so avoid wahalla
