Will that in any way hinder the usage of my Nigerian license?

And take for example when I'm about to take the practical test and I still have time to use my Nigerian license will that not stop me?
At all, it shouldn’t hinder it. I drive around with both my Nigerian license and Provisional license just to be safe. For your practical test, your provisional license is the only one that’s valid for that.

This is apt. Nah just say I no get time for too much long talk.

Many are in the UK not because condition bad baje.

The conditions in Nigeria are relative and the "government cost" for basic things are near socialist standards, making room for all strata of the demography.

But this UK... Nah just light, credit (a trap) and passport dem get.
why are you still there? You can go back to your country that has more than that

Insurance companies have invalidated people’s insurance where they’ve found them to be driving unaccompanied with a provisional license.
The matter seems to be a grey area but it’d seem in most cases the rule is “your provisional, trumps and nullifies your Nigerian license”.
You might want to dig into it, if you haven’t already done so.

True true... To each his own.

But hope you know that at 700, you hit a threshold where your earnings are not significantly different from those earning 350
?

Except of course you do the "Nigerian thing". Pun intended please, before person go use langa langa comot my head.


Big fat lie @ bolded. grin

You call a difference of over £40k in net income not "significantly different"? undecided

In the case I know of, the insurance was on international license, then the person got a provisional license. Driving solo one thing led to another and then a claim was made etc. etc.

Honestly only your insurance provider can answer that question with certainty because I’ve seen this applied both ways.

My advice would be to call your insurer, provide them all the information and let them decide and possibly put it in writing.

Hmm that’s interesting, I may have to read up on this. it’s a good thing that I’ll be transitioning to a UK license soon anyway, and I’d just review the insurance to reflect the new license when I get one.

No mind them. I have many friends that earn £850-£1000 per day. A lot of people are not struggling.

Also, we sometimes struggle in the UK cos we support families back home.

People earning £700+/day will beg to differ

Got this from DVLA (tweet) :You can still drive on the international licence for up to 12 months of becoming a resident, even if you have a GB provisional licence.

The supporting families thing is true. Urgent 2K, 20K here and there.. Someone swallowed cutlass, Uncle something something is in the hospital all adds up smiley

They will tell you if rooms are available and when they will be cos students will soon be leaving Middlesbrough for IT or finally

Devops Engineers

IAM Engineers
Project Managers (Agile etc)

Those are the roles I know of
Most IT jobs will probably start from 300 for middle level Engrs

Heard guys in salesforce and service now also make quite some money

Never heard of that before actually or maybe i didnt bother to check
I believe it depends on her skillset however but she should be able to get support or care roles to keep body and soul together whilst looking for that which she wants smiley

Yea it’s actually possible, you don’t need to have a job to get a visa like the Global Talent Visa. Even though I’m not sure what type of Visa her friend is on but if she’s on a skilled worker Visa without a job, then she’d definitely get a job so I’m not sure why her friend is worried about her.

They do and it’s relatively easy to learn. A Udemy course can give someone a foundational understanding and they can also download a free data visualisation tool like Tableau public to practice with.
