hi house.. good morning, can someone please suggest the best uk banking or saving app (like piggy vest in nigeria) that one can use to save money without restrictions, I'm trying my best to cultivate the habit of saving as much.. thank you

Interest rates are going up gradually, but savings product rates are still abysmal, and inflation is eating up the value of money left in savings accounts.
Best strategy would be a mix of investments and savings so hopefully growth in the former can cancel out the lousy interest rates and loss of value in the latter.

Women are not built that way.

I must disagree with that - I know of many cases where this was done.
As a matter of fact, it was quite common in the 70s and so forth when many Nigerians of our parents' generation were studying here.

After everything I have done for you? I brought you to this country.

From this, it appears you're trying to be proactive about visa extension i.e if you finish your studies and PGW, she will begin her own round of studies and PGW then you become dependant. Instead of marrying someone you don't know, just be doing several masters program and PhD if possible till you complete the 10 years.

If you decide to risk it, you might still get a good wife, just that you might be the problem not the lady because you'll feel entitled.

If I get him well he wants a contract wedding that’s symbiotic
Viruses:

I almost did not want to comment on this but e no let me pass.

In summary...are you asking whether you should marry your girlfriend or you are asking whether you should just look for a girl, wife her and bring her over so that she can work and assist you financially. Which one? What is your objective?

There's no right one, and actually what the OP is thinking about is no different from the other reasons people venture into marriage (such as someone to support me/have children with/society and the church said so/I thought marriage means sex on tap, etc.).

The only difference is that he's being honest about his calculations, while most people aren't and prefer to dress their own calculations up.

The bolded is one of the biggest scam..lol.

This is absolutely incorrect.
For all the reasons you mentioned above, the person will still go ahead with the marriage. Trust me, if the OP gets a sponsored tier 2 visa a month to his wedding, he may back out because he won't be needing the girl again.

Monzo has pot, but since there are no restrictions it may not solve your problem because the money is very much accessible to you. They also have other packages that can help you save (with their small interests) but with restrictions.

Your post was way off from what I said.
I simply pointed out that the OP is being honest with his need for a wife regarding his possible study/visa plans, and nothing more than that.

Is it right for an employer to include in your work contact that after you have left the company you cannot work for a competitor or a company that provides similar services 6 months after you leave?

Yes, it’s very common, in some cases it could be up to two years.

Most Primary schools are run by the councils and are free. However your 2 year old is too young to attend primary school so will need to be enrolled in a nursery or looked after by a childminder. Are you coming with your partner or are you single? Nursery places start from £800 per month so need to factor in the cost. General advice is to leave the child behind if you are single.

Are you guys observing the double standard in this Russia v Ukraine saga?
Not home office is saying Ukraninans with families here can come but the same home office denied Syrians and Afghans refuge saying they should claim assylum in thier first safe country of arrival. Then FIFA and UEFA has suspended Russia yet when The UK, France and US invaded Iraq, Libya and Syria, they were not suspended. Also the media organisations here are often fond of accusing the Russian media of bias but are yet to analyse the situation from a Russian perspective or from a Black man's perspective. So much hypocrysy. I pray that peace will reign and both parties will resolve their issues. Putin took a wrong step and the west also.

Don't get it twisted.
Black man's perspective is NOT, and will NEVER be Russia's perspective. Putting the two side-by-side does injustice to the Blackman's perspective.

Do you know what the Russian media outlets accuse media organisations here of?
if you want Western world perspective, watch western media - CNN, BBC, FOX, CBS etc.
If you want Russian perspective, watch RT
If you want Nigerian perspective, watch NTA
