gmacnoms:Two weeks is too small to start getting agitated as you need to realise that you are just starting afresh . What I will advice you it try to talk to friends, church members and colleagues that you living in same city to guide you for you to learn the rope and try to exercise patience . what you need now to take your time to understand how the systems work and getting yourself registered into the system. It took me exactly 3 months aftert getting into uk before I can get something reasonable and since then it has been from one level to next level . Unfortunately what is obtainable is different areas differs in term of opportunities of blue collar jobs which is why u need to get close to fellow naija u met in that particular area . Las Las , in due time everyone go dey alright . 1 Like |

Skipton is proposing a 100% mortgage product aimed at first time buyers with a minimum 12 -24 months track record of making consistent and timely rental payments, and can evidence affordability of a mortgage. Applicants will not need a family guarantor unlike other 100% mortgage products. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2023/may/08/uk-mortgage-lender-100-loans-skipton-building-society Pros and cons (DYOR) as there will be no equity to start with/risk of negative equity, but it's being marketed as a way to help renters who are not able to save a deposit and do not have access to Bank of mum and dad. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Zahra29: 10:00pm On May 08, 2023 |
Lexusgs430: I agree, on the whole it sounds like a good opportunity especially for those already paying rents that are comparable or even higher than a mortgage. |

Abeg make una help me check this thing. Apart from Ulez wahala, what’s really the issue with Diesel cars, Are they bad or they cheaper to maintain? |

Midex88: Here is the post from AgentXxxx that I followed. AgentXxx: Very easy, type switch to Natwest on Google, you will be directed to their website to open an account which before you finish with documentation, you will be ask to put in the bank you are switching from, sort code and some details. So you will need to transfer 1,250£ into the account and open the bank App “, Full switch takes about 10 working days but before then you can use the account. They will move every info to your Natwest from you previous account on or before the 10th day. Within five days after that, you get your 200£ gidigba 😁 4 Likes 3 Shares |

kwakudtraveller: I asked the very same question and Lexusgs430 said I should run and I have been running from them since. Otherwise, how can a petrol car be costlier that Diesel cars (Same Year Model oO). They are trying to dump it on JJC's. E plenty for Benz though |

DoDirtsLikeWorm:From what I’ve seen, the road tax is cheaper, insurance is cheaper and cars that are ULEZ Compliant still pay the same fee as diesel to drive in London. I don’t live in London so I no get the gist with diesel cars and why they get so much hate. 1 Like |

I was skeptical switching from Petrol to Diesel .. . I've now used it for almost 3 years now and haven't experienced any of these issues. AdBlue reduces the emission so no offensive smell either. You still dey beef that your Ijebu diesel car wey you dey drive back then🤣😭 Lexusgs430: 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lagosismyhome Justwise Zahra29 bigtt76 dustydee mimilyrics gergeman rinzylee Thank you guys for responding. I spoke with the wife; she said she’s tired of everything and also whenever they have an issue, her husband will call her dad cos he knows she’s scared of her dad. Also, the guy has never pushed for a reconciliation, it was always her. She brought the guy into UK; all expenses paid by her. He was a teacher back home (30k salary). They’ve got no kids; married for almost 2 years. To me I feel the guy is like that because he didn’t invest in the relationship. I’ve hands off and not telling him the advises I got from here. Whatever wants to become of him should be. 1 Like |
