Their long form birth certificate is all you need as their form of ID

@lagosismyhome

Thank you for your response, I have attached a part of the application.

What do I then fill in as their nationality here? They were both born here, I want their first passport to be British passport.

I sent this to my friend to ask she first joked that Shamima Begum has shown us whether we get the naija passport or not they still be classified as Nigerian should the need arise ...lol . However she checked and this was what she filled despite no naija passport till date and it was fine . I quote.

Country of nationality: Nigeria. Place of birth: I put Newcastle where they were born.

How’s everyone enjoying the break from school? What did we get up to? Been a minute just checking in!

If you live around Essex, this is a good job for parents https://www.essex.parents1st.org.uk/peer-support-link-worker?platform=hootsuite&utm_campaign=hscampaign

Hello everyone, hope we all had a good break.

I'm wondering, has anyone here gone through the domestic worker visa route as a solution for childcare?
Would be great to learn more about that option..

Also has anyone used a Nigerian or African live in, how did you source and what was your experience generally?

I checked the route for myself but residents of the UK do not qualify. You qualify if you are coming in to the UK and going within 12 months max I think so I dumped that idea.

I tried applying for my cousin to come visit, but they bounced her. I think we didn’t prove enough ties to Nigeria. A few friends who are sourcing are planing to use the domestic worker route on a family members visiting visa, then the person will stay back. I think it’s quite risky but….

Edited to say: if you’re not in a remote part of the UK, you should be able to source local.

I have always had ...... needs patience sha dealing with Nigerian. Initially when I had my kids the agency had a lot of European so I started with having Romania. The two I had for about 4 years were brilliant , so gentle with kids and very hardworking. When I come home the house is spotless ...dont know how considering it was twins toddlers but they took their work very seriously. Then came brexit and they don't come again. The agency I use now has mostly naija motherhelp. The difference is 7up. Naija want to do very minimal job but collect full money with full chest ... it takes a lot of patience and you having to do a lot more when its a Nigerian worker but na so we see am. The one i have now takes 2 hours to eat breakfast, another 2 hours to eat lunch and then dinner, someone who suppose to be working....

I can give you the agency I use via pm. I am no way affiliate to them. I just have used them .

Our ppl and their typical behaviour....with helps/nannies, I hate being 100% transactional but that may be the way to go for this type of persons...
Have you ever tried other African nationals or heard about other person's experience of their work ethics in general?
Yes, I would appreciate the contact for the agency.
Apologies for the late response, been travelling a lot these past few days.

Ouch! I hadn't done any research on it but it sounded like a good possibility....Pity!

Your friends are taking a risk...won't that affect their history with immigration when they want to invite genuine visitors in future? More important I don't know how they are comfortable with the idea of making someone an illegal immigrant here unless the person simply has nothing going for them (now and potentially).... even at that, once they dabble into illegalities, they will keep looking over their shoulder in future..
Not worth it IMO.

No I haven't tried other Africans but this same agencies used to provide nanny from Caribbean. Two of my friends had from there and it was good. I also got one which was a live out from Caribbean, much better than naija

Transactional is usually the best but with naija naija ,after sometimes the lines must blur and you see the nanny using style to get a way with doing whatever . So sometimes I pick my battles what I can't absolutely take i check it, other things I just smh and remove my eyes

Goodevening everyone
Please I am confused and need guidance
I want to open a Junior ISA and I am stucked inbetween going to my bank Natwest or opening with Nutmeg

My baby already has his account linked to mine because of his age
Should I leave the money in his account or open a junior ISA for him?

If I decide to go for Nutmeg
Which investment style to use?
I was given the option of
*fully managed
*Smart Alpa
*Socially responsible
*fixed allocation

What is the best option?
Thanks

Good to be here

I would think that opening an ISA will be better in the long run than just leaving the cash in the bank account.
If "fully managed" means they will handle for you It may be best to go that route being a novice. Of you change your mind in future, I imagine you can take over the management then.

Thanks MizGene

It depends on what you want to achieve.
Do you want to put away the money and not access to it at all till the children access it?
Do you want to be able to dip in and out of the funds?

We for example set money aside that the children can only access when they're 18 so we put away money in fully managed stocks and shares. It means we cannot access it at all no matter what happens. It's a pay in and forget about it till they get it.

From my research, ethical funds and socially responsible funds have almost the slowest growth and I'm not about all that yet. Maybe when I hit my millions

Good evening mummies in the UK.
I intend coming by Sept by his grace. My school just sent a mail saying my marriage certificate is looking unusual to d ones they have.
This seems quite strange to me. My marriage was in 2012. I have used this for so many formal documentations all through without no such coomplain.
Please what type of marriage certificates did u use. I did mine at ikoyi then.
Thanks as I look forward to ur responses. Below is d attachment of mine

Looks legit to me but why does your school need your marriage cert in the first place?

You can write them back asking them what they mean by ‘unusual’ then reiterate that it’s a certified true original and will be available to sight upon arrival.

I’m just wondering why it’s one of the docs submitted at all in the first place.

Yo!!! So there’s been an increase in the number of Nigerians/Africans loosing their kids to CW because of negligence or abuse.

Do not leave your kids at home alone to go and work any night or day shift! Anything can go wrong and you will loose your kids.

Do not incessantly hit your kids. They don’t have filter, they could say something one day and you’ll get in trouble. Plus it’s not good period.

Once social workers enter your home and matter it can take a lot before they leave you.

Let’s be guided please.

It is needed because my father's name is what is on my 1st degree certificate . And my other documents after marriage is in my husband's name.

Okay. Write them back as suggested and see what they say.
