I wish to disagree. Nothing about health should be forced.
If an individual does not wish to be vaccinated, all we can do is to continue educating to show the superiority of our argument.

Medicine went down a very dark road during the 1940s. Nobody wants that today.

So to everyone who is hesitant, I want to reassure you that nobody is going to force you ever. You will ,after considering all the sides, get vaccinated.
#proudlydoublejabbed #deltavariantbringiton
The public health implications of large swathes of unvaccinated people is enough justification for forced vaccination. Refusal should be met with equal repercussions, enough of this nonsense.

Suspended or restricted ?
It wasn't suspended, only restricted as you cant link your bank cards to it..you can't buy cryptos using your bank.. but currently I heard FIAT is a new method of funding trading accounts with binance.... funding of account was initially done by peer to peer after the restrictions... ... I feel maybe if theres a way it can regulated it will continue be accepted... meanwhile.. criminals wont stop being criminals... theres always a way out... even if the world bans crypto... the world is already corrupt from the government down to citizens... as long as a group of people are still in poverty crimes will not stop

No quick and fast rule exists...... Slow and steady, wins the race.........

Don't worry, for starters you would be entitled to a state pension scheme........ grin

In addition to that, invest in a private pension scheme....

Binance was not banned in UK, only suspended till they fully register and compliant with FCA......

They pulled out of regulation negotiations, because they refused to handover certain details......

Once they are fully compliant, they shall be back.... Blame watermine, bureaux, PGI etc, for all this madness......... tongue

Hi Mimzy, so my wife got a reply that the card has been approved. But she still tried the card and after clicking “make payment”. The window disappears and goes back to the “entering of card details” page again. She has tried different web browsers, but still same issue. She has also sent mails to complain about the experience twice but still no response. Do you have any idea on how to go about this.

Anyone had this kind of experience?
I had this same damn problem when I was in Nigeria just now,I take it you are talking about paying for the covid jab, I had to get my friends in the Uk to ring their bloody customer service of which waiting time was up to nearly one hour!

Please guys advise

I need savings scheme that would be profitable to me
Hopefully to save deposit for a house


Been here 7months now
Got really poor balance in my account

I am very comfort minded
Probably that made me get some items that i needed
New devices, empty apartment which i had to furnish (gotten almost all i need in it now)
Rent and house bills about 600monthly

Leaving me with 1000 more from my monthly pay.

I can say i have gained my “balance” at the minute

No thanks to passport renewal that blew about 400 quids from me.(application, transport and air bnb to London and postal code fee)

Honestly if I continue this way, may not have much to show even 5 years after. Im single by the way

Kindly help with some financial advise.
Govt backed ISA, speak to your bank they all have such services!

Oh I didn’t experience this as the payment process was seamless after my card was approved.

Can I ask if you’re trying to make payment in the uk with a naija card? If yes, probably the site wouldn’t allow? Maybe try registering a different card?

Sorry I couldn’t help further.

No, they simply asked financial institutions not to deal with exchanges or invest in crypto. So you could not fund your wallet from your bank account.

There are people with certain medical conditions which do not allow them to be vaccinated. This your idea of forced vaccinations for everyone will discriminate against this people. In addition, what do you do to people whose religion/culture tells them that the vaccine will lead to hell?

The hallmark of modern medical practice is for the patient to offer an informed consent. The whole idea of vaccinating against disease isn't to vaccinate 100% of the population. It is the vaccinate a targetted and vulnerable majority who will act as a shield to protect those who cannot and/or choose not to have the vaccine.

Surely people with medical condition should not be forced to get vaccinated.

Religious beliefs is not good enough reason not to get vaccinated especially when your religious beliefs will not stop you from spreading the virus.

That was helpful indeed. Thank you very much Justwise.


Please, in addition to the lifetime ISA I have opened Via Moneybox, should I decide to open the investment one which allows me to trade stocks and buy shares, does it mean I can be able to use the app to buy and sell shares?

Let me call others too
