procky:if you are still in Naija. Just freeze the oil. Wrap it that morning of your travel with newspaper, and caron, use celotape to tie it well . Put it inside a waterproof and thank me later. I came with 5 litres of oil and another 3 liters. . For the other items excluding Meat, put them in ziploc transparent bags and get it labeled. You are good to go. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bluetherapy: Because you need somewhere to live and paying rent is paying for a service like any other service. The fact that someone makes a profit from it is neither here nor there. We can translate that into saying buying food is a waste of money as we'll just shit it out. Not everyone can afford a mortgage even with the best will in the world. I advocate one having their own property somewhere mainly because as immigrants, we would really struggle at retirement. To access the full raft of a state pension (which is peanuts by the way), you would have had to pay 35 years worth of NI. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to have a retirement plan which could be a property (the most difficult asset class to pull money out of as it is not liquid cash) that is paid down somewhere cheap for example or money funneled into shares 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hello lovelies. I need your opinions here. As a student that entered into the UK and still has 8 months to the end of the program and has a tier 2 Sponsorship offer (at a cost though). Is it advisable to convert now or convert towards the end of the program? If now, what is the best and safest way to go about it for smooth transitioning from student to sponsored worker.

Lexusgs430: And which I have already mentioned but to some extent except you are going to tear down the property. On the other hand, with new buildings the insulation is incorporated into the brick work.. |

Lexusgs430: You self Remember I never said don’t buy property. What I am saying is if you are going to keep it for a very long time then fine, if not, don’t buy because it not worth the stress and it ties you down to an area. Remember during the crash, renting was cheaper than having a mortgage. It was a renters market.. |

Another real life UK story, happened a few days ago ...... A known hypertensive man, was prescribed medications, to lower his BP levels......... He did his own research about the prescribed drugs, DR Google informed him that possible side effects, could be weakness of his 3rd leg ........ Rather than returning to his GP, voice his concerns/or switching meds or let's assume his 3rd leg got weak.... Be placed on the magic blue pill, he completely refused to take his meds and not medically voice his concerns....... He was at the restaurant last week enjoying himself last week, he had a cardiac event, rushed to hospital, after a few days, his life support machine was turned off....... Not only did his 3rd leg eventually die, he also lost all the functions of all his body parts......... All body parts no longer required by him, body parts might be harvested for others to benefit......... HEALTH IS WEALTH....... NB : He also did not see the benefits of having a life assurance policy. They have now opened a go fund me page, towards burial expenses etc etc...... .. Look after yourselves, nobody else will ......... 19 Likes |
