Please is anyone in North Walsham here? I have been trying to get an accommodation from Naija. E hard o. Can anyone help?? |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by Ticha: 10:43pm On Apr 03, 2022 |
rinzylee: North Walsham in Norfolk? Are you there for work? You may need to look in Alysham and Norwich instead and travel to work in N. Walsham. It's a very small town and has a lot more older people than families which means people hardly move out. Not impossible, just a much more longer wait for a place. |

Ticha: Yeah I'm coming to work at the Hospital there. I'm a physiotherapist. It's been crazy searching i must say. I may look the Norwich way. 47 mins by train though. |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by Ticha: 10:21am On Apr 04, 2022 |
rinzylee: The train is very slow. It stops everywhere on it way to Cromer. You're better off using the bus then driving. In fact, if you can drive straight away. I'd advise you to do that. You'll be driving against traffic as well as most people will be heading into Norwich for work. Norwich train station is also near the most expensive parts of the city (Golden Triangle). Whereas if you're driving, you'll just take the ring road and head out. |

Ticha: Chai....Now you are getting me scared o. I hate traffic o. Good Lord. Please I'm sending you a private chat immediately. Hope you don't mind? |

veleta: Hi Mama, If I could add to this. My daughter is in reception and when she resumed first of March she found the whole curriculum routine very strange. The next week her teacher called to make some observations about her tights and that she struggles to follow instructions. I was very bothered and so I requested that she gives me weekly update on my daughter as she is new in this country and educational system. Her teacher started a school+home diary where she writes what my daughter does in school and I get to see how she does. She also attached a copy of their timetable. When I saw it I was surprised! They have like 10-13 activities for the day, spend 10-15minutes per activity. Say they start with reading a book, maybe when the story is getting interesting they will now say its time for maths. My daughter will now say she doesn't want to do math she wants to continue with the story reading. And so on. But I'm glad she has adjusted as that was her achievement for the term, 'A has really improved and now follows instructions very well'. I didn't know when I got here I will have to pay extra attention to her school work. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Gloriouscrown: Most of us didn’t know. Until you get here and realize the system is very very different and mostly more laid back. The good thing is they learn sha, just that you have to keep a close eye. 1 Like |

Mamatukwas: Ah ah How is it I am just seeing this now when I have 2 under 3s in this Uk. Na search for mamatukwas to look for her post on obtaining passport for kids land me here oo. Ok, let me start reading from the beginning. But firstly, if this has already been addressed, my apologies in advance. I am completing application for citizenship for my 2kids born before I got ILR Now, it’s asking for ID document, can I use just birth certificate as an ID document for them? If not, biko, can someone break down the process of getting Nigerian passport for kids again that wouldn’t take forever. I was hoping to submit the applications this month end Thanks in advance |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by Mamatukwas: 12:26pm On Apr 06, 2022 |
gratefulme40: Hey Mama. If you’ve never added them to your application as dependents (hence negating the need for a resident card/BRP) then you should be able to use their birth certificate. I’ve always applied for my kids passports when we visit Naija but I hear applying here is straightforward as well. Have you checked the website and are having trouble with anything? 1 Like |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by gratefulme40: 12:52pm On Apr 06, 2022 |
Mamatukwas: No, never added them as dependants so they don’t have BRP See the attached. It already listed birth certificate and there is this as well which is why I am concerned if birth certificate is enough or not I have looked at the requirements for Naija passport online, not really a lot but it’s just the waiting time that I am worried about.

Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by gratefulme40: 8:00pm On Apr 06, 2022 |
LagosismyHome: They were both born here while I was on tier 2. In fact, my son was born September, I got ILR December |

nnennachiji: Small world. My sis kids used to attend kipp. They lived at wil crest drive but they moved recently and kids changed school. I live in uk but have visited a few times so I know the area. Back to your question. My sis loved kipp, she had such a hard time moving het kids out of there. In fact, she considered taking them back after she got them Into a new school 1 Like |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by LagosismyHome(f): 12:27am On Apr 07, 2022 |
gratefulme40: If they are born in UK then I am 100 percent sure you don't need a naija passport for them because I have a friend who didn't put her kids until they got ILR and till date they don't have a naija passport ( I just asked her), only British she did ... so you might need to recheck google or maybe the birth certificate is sufficient for a British born 3 Likes |

LagosismyHome: Please, my first was born here. Though we've gone in and out of the UK as visitors. We're back now under student visa. Does this mean I don't have to add him when we're renewing? Or ut will affect us because he's gone out before? Can we renew without him and just wait till we get ilr and apply for citizenship for him? |

mumzt: How long were you out for?... but typically it allowed |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by nnennachiji(f): 9:36pm On Apr 07, 2022 |
gratefulme40: Thank you I appreciate your input. I have registered him with KIPP just that since he is 3 years old he will be in prekindergarten 3 and the hours is just 7:30 am to 11 am . Officially, prekindergarten is usually by 4 years and schools hours for prekindergarten 4 is 7.30 am to 3.45pm but I believe it will still help him even if it’s only for 3 and half hours. I live near wilcrest at Richmond Avenue. |

Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by Ticha: 10:51pm On Apr 07, 2022 |
mumzt: If I'm not mistaken, to do that, the child must not have an existing visa linked into an existing passport. Once they have the passport of another country even if they haven't travelled out of the UK, that automatically means the visa restrictions of that country applies to them. That's my understanding so you'll need to clarify. |

LagosismyHome: He's 8 now. Used to be resident here, so I already had nhs number and co. Came to have him with visit visa, paid and went back. But we've been coming to the uk for holidays every year since he was born, except during covid, and now we're back as residents (student visa) |
