I trust my people to always deliver, thank you. Have you got any recommendations for desk? Sturdy, durable and functional ( drawers, probably adjustable height as well)

Habitat Zander 2 Drawer Desk

I use the Grey two tone, it’s a very beautiful match with that chair. But It’s not adjustable.

I like the adjustable desk designs too. That’s what I am eyeing. Will like to stand for like 2hrs everyday. I will advise you to get an adjustable one instead of the above.

When I mention resit/re-assesment  about my school,some people here think I am lying about it.

Most of the schools are becoming something else. They don't care how much you pay, they do what they like these days.

It is well.

@hustla From your comment, I can see you are still a boy.

You, who still dey look for money from your 20-hour job to bring your dependant from Isale EKO, you dey open your mouth dey talk to me.

I don't blame you, I blame the faceless forum.

As for ancestor, @Lexus430, I'm sorry for mentioning your name, and truthfully, you don't owe me anything but again miracle no dey tire Jesus.

@yolkman20, I pray God will step quickly into your situation and provide that COS. I can understand the situation you are in right now, and it will come good.

Please, if you are not going to provide a solution or give reasonable and constructive advice, just pass, because you don't know what others are going through and you are not in their shoes.

Peace.








I understand you might be emotional with the situation at hand and we as humans tend to lash out when under pressure. But I would advise to keep a cool head and please lets not resort to name calling. I empathise with you and believe strongly that you would get a solution to your issue shortly. Keep faith.

currently in London, Woolwich boss, but I don't mind going anywhere.

Check somersetcare & nouveau care(currently have an opening for care assistant with sponsorship) if you don't mind. You can try other care homes in South and Midlands. Those areas do not have much hands hence, getting COS could be easier. All the best

I've checked nouveau care but they won't give us until after probation which is 3months and all we've got is 2months. He choke gan, I can't sleep. Even if na tibi tibi, I no mind😉

That's good! Hopefully, you'd get a positive response.

You still have a leg to stand on because of your course duration. The reason behind resitting modules within 3 months is because the system won't allow a resit of e.g. an autumn module in spring. It just doesn't make sense that you'd have 160/150 credits and be awarded a PgDip! You need to pay your head of department and the Dean a visit.

You owe Lexus an apology. Same Lexus that anybody can chat with privately? That paid for someone to stay in an hotel? @Lexus, abeg no vex.

Form A is the official route to pay for Nigerian students so nothing wrong in using it. The problem is the "Nigerian factor" and a lot UK universities have been quite considerate. However, some students keep quite and don't inform the university on time.

There are a lot of good people in this group supplying valuable information.


Maureen4sure:


Thank you for your suggestions and advice. @Contra5, I have since emailed the vice chancellor regarding my situation.

Before coming to this forum to ask for suggestions and contributions, please don't always think people have not done their best and look for every available option.

My school is Edinburgh Napier University, and yes, students can retake a module twice within a three-month grace period.

Thank you. I must have missed your response. The visa was denied. Apart from making reference to previous EUSS application made, it also addressed her as though she is from Pakistan. Mama has never been to Pakistan!

LagosismyHome:


No vignette usually points to rejection however UKVI quality control these days is just terrible , so many errors up and down. I would say sadly it most likely a rejection and someone forgot to print the letter or email it

However to be hopeful maybe the visa was granted and they just forgot to print the vignette. Best to contact them and in the case I know, when contacted they then sent the rejection letter

LOL if you check well, I even mentioned you to give you a solid solution and even asked your location cos I have someone who can offer you sponsorship at no cost provided you meet requirements. Would be easy as just putting in a good word for you

It's not hard to see the bile in your heart and the entitlement mentality seeping through your veins and escaping your lips

Again, may God help you solve your issues and make your path straight

Dear All,

Has anyone recently renew their Nigerian Passport and already done their biometric at the Nigerian High Commission London this March 2023 and received his/her passport in this month.

I did mine this month and still awaiting their delivery. Please help a brother o.

Thank you all.


I am in the same position as you my brother. I need my passport asap to apply for an EU visa. Do you have any plans yet? By the way what do you think about us storming the high commission?

Please does anyone have any experience doing this? If we go there , would they let us in ? Do we have any chance of laying hands on our passport?

I will advice you to go there on Monday and make sure you get there early enough to see them. Take your confirmation slip with you with a copy of your previous booking appointment slip and beg the man outside to let you in so that you can sort it out.

In fact when I went for my biometric in the first week of this month, someone that I met told me that his friend that did his own in February got it in 2 weeks and I will just advice you to go there.

Please go there and let me have an update. I will be planning to go there as well at the end of this month of I didn’t receive mine. I am very sure your passport is ready just that they delay it, probably because the current one hasn’t expired yet.

Please when will the current one expiring?

I love the soft stone throw. There are people using £500 - £1000 adjustable desk.

For the way part: concept is get the job before making the purchase. If you are working fully remote, you know you need to get comfortable seat. If you spend longer hours on your desk, you know you may be needing an adjustable desk so you can seat and stand. Also put the item you are eyeing in your trolley/cart, you may be alerted when the price drops. E no pass like that.

There are £300 chairs that may not give you a better comfort as a £95 one.

Is he already in the UK ? He can explore the Start up visa option too. Also send him a reminder that gpt4 is at work and should level up his coding game or get made redundant . It’s happening already for low-end coders

Is it true that there aren't available appointment dates for all Schengen countries until September? I tried a few countries during the week and all saying no available dates now, try again later. Then I read on Schengen Visa Info that no dates for appts until Sept. I find that kinda hard to believe though as in how does the same backlogs situation apply to all 26 countries at the same time.
