I have to disagree with you on this, nobody wants to be associated with a criminal, Even Nigeria will not take him as a criminal but if he is a talented footballer both countries will fight for him. Its what its lets not blame anybody here.

They were even fair with the description, they could have simply say...Nigerian born

100% in agreement. They were fair to him! Anthony Joshua is British but he keeps referencing his Nigerian heritage, so if they say he is British-Nigerian, they will be accurate.

Secondly, MDCN that I know wouldn’t give him a letter of good standing just for holding a provisional registration. They’ll say they don’t know him( they did this to a friend but he was lucky to have been licensed in his country of training and had done internship there, letter of good standing was gotten from this other country). Except of course MDCN has changed the rule within the past 2 years.

You didn’t give this young fellow a good advice, to be honest.

Sgtponzihater1 gave the most practicable advice that’ll also be most beneficial to him. The route you’re advising him to take is like cutting corners, and he’s going to be wasting much of his time doing that.

The first reason being FY1 is quite competitive and he may end up getting frustrated searching for a job after successfully passing all PLAB steps.

Secondly, MDCN that I know wouldn’t give him a letter of good standing just for holding a provisional registration. They’ll say they don’t know him( they did this to a friend but he was lucky to have been licensed in his country of training and had done internship there, letter of good standing was gotten from this other country). Except of course MDCN has changed the rule within the past 2 years.
Besides, Ukraine does not license their foreign Doctors after graduation.

Thirdly, the one year spent acquiring masters would have been well spent getting a proper hands on clinical experience from Housemanship training.

More than 80% of the foreign trained Nigerian Doctors run back home to complete the requirements for full registration, there’s a reason for that. This includes the ones licensed in their countries of primary training.

My advice is for the dude to go back to Nigeria and use one stone to kill 3 birds. Within 18months, he’d have been fully registered, completed Housejob, and passed PLAB one if he’s a serious person.

Cheers!
If he is doing Masters (in Public Health for example) at UK, what is the guarantee that he would be able to do housemanship at the same time during studies in UK?

Doctor-in-training is NOT allowed for a tier-4. visa holder.
You mean he trained in Ukraine. No licence to practice yet, then the UK allows him to just do housemanship in their country?

Besides, you seriously think he can simultaneously combine an MSc program with a housemanship?
If I were you, I would follow what @ sgtponzihater1 has said, very meticulously.

I am curious why your relative has failed to come on this website to ask pertinent questions about his upcoming medical career. Why are you the middleman? Given that medical school programs are challenging and time-consuming, but your relative has graduated. (Thank GOD!). Why hasn't he or she finds it necessary to invest valuable time to ask questions regarding their about to start professional career? Just wondering.

3. Watch your BRP and PDL come back swiftly

I’d think twice before sending my international passport or BRP to an address other than the one advised by the government. Just imagine for a moment, that something goes wrong. I’m sure Mr/Ms Jones will deny ever asking you to send your original id document to them.

Patience is a virtue, but trust Nigerians to always always look for a short cut and shunt the queue, even when it’s not ‘necestry’. We just love to do it our own way, yet we complain everyday about corruption undecided lipsrsealed

Ladies & Gentlemen (I hope I am able to say that in this woke generation of wokeness).

I have a question, and I need help please.
This is my scenario.
I recently switched visas. My current visa does not tie me to an employer.

I now have a job with the NHS. I know that NHS employees and their dependants are exempt from IHS payments.

I wish to apply for my dependants to join me.
Will they have to pay IHS surcharge? It’s confusing because eventhough I will be working in the NHS, the NHS is not my visa sponsor.

Can someone help me get clarity, please?

I guess ralphjean have been ban again .

After serving my 1 month ban, I haven't banned again - yet.

The plenty hidden/deleted posts were posts where I was replying to some of the lies against me.
Those were posts where I was providing rebuttals to the misleading information that I Insulted a moderator of this thread.
I was merely stating my innocence - but the posts were deleted/or hidden.

Wait o he is still banned?? Haba Justwise, This is unfair now. You banned him just because he had a different opinion to yours, how is that right?

He was just pointing out that because you’re a stickler for the rules and you shouldn’t encourage mago mago. Please chill and unblock him abeg.


Thank you @aphrodite.
I have been unbanned now. Thanks for speaking on my behalf when I was gagged and banned - with no right-of-reply.
I am back now. How long that will last still remains to be seen.

One thing I am 100% sure of, is that I will never get weary of saying/posting lawful and legal stuff. And, the fear of a ban will never, ever prevent me from making rebuttals when mago-mago is subtley suggested by any, I mean ANY person.

Those were My deleted posts. I guess someone was not comfortable with my rebuttals of the tissue of lies perpetrated on my person during the period of my ban.
when my ban was lifted, and I saw that untruths were dished out to the effect that I Insulted someone, I was merely protesting my innocence.

Hmmn, imagine been slammed with a £10k debt from your car insurance company early on Monday morning.

Please any recommendation for a good insurance claim expert or lawyer? Person never make the £10k profit since getting here sef.

Advise to new migrants coming to the UK and planning on driving with int'l Licence, please think twice before getting that car oo, do you really need it?

Can you pass your driving test within a year of getting into the country and note that once you obtain a provisional licence it SUPERSEDES your international licence and according to the law, there must be a co-pilot with minimum of 3years validity beside you afterwards.

Any accident or dent that involves the insurance company can result into cancellation of your policy, increase in premium and unexpected debts by the 3rd party involved.

My sister na so we see am o. It happened or happening to my brother.

He moved here with his family late 2019 and as a family of 5 up north, we thought having a car was necessary now (probably wished we waited now grin).

He got his car shortly before the pandemic and got his insurance with go girl with his naija licence. As expected he couldn't renew or attend any exam for his practical exam due to cancellation and no date available and DVLA granted10months extension till October 2021 which he thought it will be sufficient to pass.

During this time, go girl renewed his insurance automatically but unknowingly to us a Provisional Licence supersedes your international licence. Na so he lost control during that yeye february snow to go hit his neighbours car and then insurance got involved and its been one mayhem to another. They cancelled his premium and then after a while demanded the balance of his insurance and now we got bills totalling £9800 that they incurred on fixing the other car.

The annoying thing it was just a minor dent to the fender and the car is a 2011 ford worth £2,900 (according to the insurance coy). So how they spent almost £10k fixing it is beyond me.
