Can I still drive for 1 year with Nigerian driving license since I switched visa, although i have never used it to drive before now? I have provisional license and passed theory test. I am taken classes and I have 8hrs training already.

I am considering driving with the Nigerian license for a while before I take practical test

Good evening. How's everyone doing? Need some advice. Got into the country 2weeks ago as a dependant. Gotten a place in harrow, settled the kids in school (college) so we're pretty settled. Thanks to all the advice from this group.

I have a viable business in lagos, so I plan to shuttle but I plan to pay some/most of my UK bills hopefully by generating the funds here in the uk. I haven't worked in an office in 15years so no skills per se. Been running my own business. Plan on going into hgv but it'll take time to get the necessary licences and permits. Can anyone please suggest something I can do that isn't care work. Responses will be greatly appreciated. Bless.

Contact national express immediately and report this, they will track them, there is CCTV in that coach and they can also track them through their ticket as well.

Good evening. Please, what are the available ways to send/transfer money from a Nigerian Naira account to a UK account? Tried Lemonade, but the process looks foreign to me (if it even exists).

I'd really appreciate replies to this. Thanks in advance.

It is the landlord's responsibility!! Don't pay a dime. If you had touched it and something got spoilt, you will be blamed.

Ignore them. The burden of proof is on them. They should prove where they directed you to flip the breakers. If they have a socket that's tripping under normal load, there's a bigger electrical problem and potential fire hazard in the accommodation.

Hello All, please I need clarification on something. I recently got a job in the Uk with salary of £50,000.

Below are my questions:
I) is the salary above fair enough for a single guy
Ii) How easy is it to get side jobs outside the one on my work visa?

adegbitetunji:
No comment … smiles

Bourne007:
Did they send you a 'Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR' report? If not, it even builds your case more.

Hi guys, please look at this issue and let me know if I'm wrong or not.

My power supply tripped off very early in the morning of a certain day, unfortunately, it was only mine that went off. I called 105 and my energy supplier, after series of questions and information I gave them from both my gas and electric meters, they confirmed my meters were working fine and that I should contact my landlord for internal issues.

I called my letting agency as I got the apartment through them and complained to them about the power cut. They didn't get back to me and I called them later in the afternoon (meanwhile I had no power supply or even gas as the gas switch works with electricity) and they said oh they'd contact their emergency technician. Meanwhile, I received a voicenote from them when they couldn't reach me saying if it's not an emergency they wouldn't pay the bills.

Late into the afternoon I didn't hear back from them and decided to put a call across while telling them it's an emergency as it's almost dusk and I still have no gas and electricity. At the end of the day, the electrician came along, went to the electric meter and turned a number of switches on and off and the power was restored. Few minutes later, it tripped off again as a socket was about getting plugged which was what actually led to the first power cut but we didn't know it was what caused it. Because of this, the electrician checked some sockets in the apartment and found nothing wrong with them. However, he removed a partially faulty bulb and it's placeholder which I earlier complained about when I initially moved into the apartment and said that might be the cause of the tripping.

Now, the letting agency is telling me that I'm liable for the bills as it wasn't an emergency that I should have switched the circuit breaker/ switch board, that it's expected of me to do that. I told them I'm not liable as I had no idea where the fault was from and moreover I'm not an electrician. They're claiming now that they asked me over the phone if I have turned the switch board which they never did ask me. I told them I believe they record their calls and should go and listen again (they said they don't record calls and I recommended calling the telecommunication company for them to verify). I went ahead to tell them that even if they did I wouldn't know how to do it (the switch boards) as there are couple of switches to turn on and off which I wouldn't have known which is the right one. I also reminded them that the power tripped off again when a socket was about being plugged which indicates there must be an internal issue, in addition, that a lamp holder which I earlier complained about was completely removed by the electrician which he actually said might be what is triggering the power cut.

They're not happy with my stand and they're saying they'd report me to the landlord that I've breached the contract as my call wasn't an emergency call (was without electricity and gas for close to 12 hours) and that if I don't pay, the technical company might charge me to court and I told them to go ahead as I did everything within my ability to tend to this issue before coming to them and moreso, I am not the cause of the electrical fault.

Please, I just want to be sure that I'm right so I can stand well or just close eyes and pay the so called bills.

Your opinions please. Sorry for the long read

E pain me. I no go lie

Cleanworld:


Let it slide please, its one of those things. I presume you must have used a faulty eletric kettle or some faulty appliances that triggers the power off from the circuit breaker/ switch board. Once you know what the trigger is next time just go to the board and switch it on (its second to the last switch in most cases). If you want to push this further you will end shootn your own foot. Take care

Is it worth it being a landlord these days. Read somewhere Scotland is preparing or already has prepared an eviction ban law to prevent landlord from evicting tenants up to march next year because of the cost of living crisis. Wales is also towing same line.
