Good evening everyone,
Glad to have seen this platform. I recently moved to the Uk and would appreciate if I could meet people staying in dagenham. I hear it helps with the transition when you have a community.
I would appreciate.

This thread is probably the biggest family cheesy


One of my sister's resides in Dagenham, but she is unfortunately not a nairalander cheesy

Hi all,

I think someone (can't remember who) had an issue with Lemonade finance recently, please how did you resolve it?. It's been over 24hours and I'm yet to get a response from them. I tried funding my wallet and this has been deducted from my bank account but yet to reflect in my wallet. My bank (Barclays) confirmed the transaction went through. Please how else can i reach them?.

Thanks

send a DM to them on twitter..also dm ridwan olalere, he's their head honcho

Hi all!

I need some advice. I'm looking to buy a car to be used mainly for commuting to work. I am not paying cash for it so which one of these methods of financing is advisable; CS, PCP, or HP. The car is just a means to an end and I might sell it at the earliest opportunity. My budget is less than £150 pounds monthly and less than £7,500 cash value.


Also can anyone recommend an automatic driving instructor in Birmingham for a refresher course (I've always driven manual. I'm looking to transition to automatic. I hate changing gears with my left hand). I live around King's Heath.
I'd appreciate any reasonable contribution.

I'm the last person to engage in the toxic masculinity and the I-sabi-do-everything mentality that is so characteristic of the Nigerian male, but to be honest, I don't think you need a refresher course to change down from manual to automatic. It's more usually the other way round.

If you can drive a manual, your license already allows you to drive an automatic, and that's because the learning curve isn't steep at all. When I first bought and starting driving an automatic car in 2002 or so, after driving a manual for all my driving 'existence' up till then, I had no trouble at all adapting. I eventually got another manual and still drove both varieties in Lagos traffic, so you should be fine.

Re buying a car, if you can get a cheapish loan from your bank at a good APR, try that. Regarding your desire to possibly sell too, keep an eye on the exit fees payable for paying off finance early.

I'm thinking an hour or two just to get the feel of it, I don't want my manual reflexes kicking in in the middle of traffic.

So I could incur a bill for paying it off too early. That's interesting...

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll take them into consideration.

This is absolutely a day light robbery! Lots of energy have been expanded to achieved this aim, and lots of pounds have gone just because of ILR. God when are we going to end this modern slavery?
fatima04:


Same with mine oo, they were all surprised and one said imagine paying that much for this cold country grin grin. One needs to let them know that migrants are not their problem when it comes to accessing benefits.

No recourse to public funds and we pay through our nose to get ILR, then no send us work sha.

Now imagine a Family of 5 on the 10yr route,
Student Msc
PSW

Student (phd)
