Anyone who wants to take lectures on how to split wealth after divorce can go ahead. I no dey hold anybody.

I understand marriage is a covenant and a huge commitment. There's no divorce in my dictionary.

I no dey force anyone to agree with me or stick with my own narrative.


Everyone to his own philosophy.



Una well done

Anyone that does not like this submission..... Should go to court........ 😂

justwise:


You are mixing things up here, i specifically mentioned car insurance.

No...it is you who are mixing things up, we were talking about marriage.

Enough said...

Who ever wants to consider what will happen in the event of a crashed marriage when he wants to buy sweet and biscuits should do so.

When you have a gun, you will have a reason to use it...whatever your plan is, you will see a reason to execute.

Does anyone run a pub, eatery or any store here. Got a couple of questions to ask.

Thanks

P.S “Run” could be either owner or manager

Hi guys, please i need your input in this. First of all, i apologize for my lengthy post. I moved into the uk last year april as a student dependent, i started working in may and have been earning a minimum a minimum wage with over time and the littlest i earned is 1900 including over time which enabled me clear my wife's fees and pay some bills added with the little she earned working 20hrs. In the long run she got pregnant and went on maternity leave a month before we welcome our baby in December.

She was on maternity leave, earning maternity pay which supports me while i go full blast working overtime with same earnings not more than 1900. She went back to work in August and now on 37.5hrs full time as she has finished doing her masters.

Now with the responsibility of catering for our child who is now 10months, we had to adjust with our work patterns (Thank God for giving me an understanding manager and hers too) by picking shifts when we like to help us on who stays home with the baby while the other go to work. I had to let go working overtime as i work on days when she's not working and she works on days when I'm not working.

This has really impacted on my earnings and pay as i now earn the basic pay of 1800, and with tax, ni and pension deducted i am left with about 1600 sometimes lower if i don't work night shifts as we earn enhancement working night shifts. My wife is very supportive as we split montly bills, spendings and all ( I know that this should even make it easier as she earns more now) , but the issue is lately the cost of living has gone up, our rent was increased, energy bill has gone up as we had to sometime put on the heater cos of the baby, his feeding, clothing and all his needs.

The bills are choking and i can even hardly save. My wife on the other hand contributes her quota on a 60/40 basis as i contribte the most as the olori ebi even though we earn same salary monthly. I have racked in credit card debts and all. I have had to cut down alot of spendings to adjust ( and that includes me not buying orijin bitters or going out with friends, going to the barber, i cut my hair anyhow i sabi, and some needs....lol). What can i do in this context as i am considering getting a new job that can pay more on same hours, but I don't know if the manager will be as understanding as the current manager i work with.

I need to earn more. I am considering investments, but don't know which or how i can get into one. Its eating me and i had to pour out my heart. I'm sorry for the lengthy write up. By the way, i work as a support worker and my wife as well as she got sponsorship and I'm a dependent. But we just can't do more hours cos of our baby.

I am considering remote works, but concentration is much needed in this and our baby is always seeking attention. How do one cope in this. Is 1600 earning considered good in such situations?

Semmyk!!!!!!

As a dependent that you are. I don’t expect you to work in a social settings that will pay you cheap. If you like being a Support worker, Register as a bank staff in NHS and earn 20 to 22pounds an hour weekly payment. or better still start preparation for CS card or look toward being a Construction worker. z
The earning is temporary,your later or future plan is the most important.
Look into getting more knowledge that can earn you more .
N:B Please look away from your wife earning and contribution for your own peace.

Shalom

Just take it easy, you are doing very well already including your wife and I commend you for being resilient so far. There is nothing wrong with you as the challenge is just to earn more to keep up with costs. Now how do you earn more? In your current discipline or sector, are there opportunities to switch to roles with higher pay? That is what you should be considering now. Do you have other skills or experience that can land you better jobs or you may need to upskill to get such roles. That should be the focus now while you still see other areas you can adjust you current costs of living. Above all pay attention to your mental health and your family as you're not the only one in this struggle, you will be fine as you restrategize and please feel free to ask more questions here about getting better roles with better pay, that's why we are all here. Cheers

Well said! As a dependent, picking shifts shouldn't have been your main priority but rather a full time role depending on your qualifications and skills, this would've helped you gain more grounds in whatever industry you find yourself. Your wife should also look at work from home customer service job opportunities.

Noticed you also have credit card debts - while it is good to have a credit card to help build your credit history, you shouldn't spend what you don't have on your debit card account (that's how I live my life though) at this stage when you don't have a good income.

My observation of late has been that most Nigerians (MA or dependents) on arrival in the UK, warehouse, support and care jobs appears to be their main target and this shouldn't be so at least for the dependents who can work full time. Try and evaluate your skills and qualifications, there are several opportunities out there that can help you upskill if you want for free.

People largely underestimate what impact their clique can have on how quickly they settle and rise. Its same case even for those in regulated professions with fairly defined pathways.

If you come in and those in your circle quickly sorted their driving, mortgage, good jobs e.t.c. Those things would all of a suddenly become well achievable. Perception is everything.

For many, when it comes to getting on the housing ladder, schools, investments, pensions, job prospects e.t.c. it's largely dependent on what your clique has achieved.

I agree with you on this. It rubs off on you what clique you belong to.

I do appreciate your input on this. It gladens my mind to read this. As you said, i shouldn't settle for less as a dependent as I can get a job that pays higher. My wife works in the NHS sector where she got her sponsorship and i honestly do not depend on her income as i see myself as someone that needs to take up his responsibility as a father and a husband. She being a good wife does not believe in that and does her best to support me and i do appreciate that. I have considered getting other roles, but i haven't been successful in them. Back in Nigeria I was a computer engineer but i left that industry when life and nigeria happened to me. I don't want to go into details cos it brings back sad memories. This was over 20yrs ago, so I'm a bit rusty and not up to date with current tech tools.

Now, i can only do little as we have to mind our child cos we don't look at taking him to a child minder. We can't afford that and we don't believe they can cater for him the way we can. We had to make sacrifices taking turns off work to do that. I'll consider looking at construction jobs as u said and if the pay is good and gives me some flexibility as i am getting now. Then its worth trying.

God bless you. May life not happen to us

I don't know if other companies can be this generous to allow me do this (my fears) as this will greatly impact on child care (my priority). I would say for now, i don't have any special skills cos i left the IT industry due to some bad issues that happened back in Nigeria. If i have to start again, I'm afraid i might not be able to catch up. Reason why I'm seeking for advice on what other flexible roles i can look at.

Good Afternoon All,

I need your advice. Ok so I got a job to resume today on a salary of over 50k. I even signed a contract. Everything went well until I was asked to provide NIN. I came in to UK just last month and I applied for NIN on the 17th of this month. I shared my right to work code and BRP, however, since then I have heard nothing.

When I called HR, they referred me to my recruiter. I tried calling the recruiter but until now he has not called back. I used another number to call to see if perhaps my number was blocked as call kept being busy. Recruiter called back on that line but I did not pick. He is still yet to call my own number he has.

I feel so sad at the moment as it was a reputable Company.

Any word of encouragement or advice will do. Please note that I am a Dependent (Student Visa).

Ticha:


Yes and No. Once children become involved, whether you're married or not makes absolutely no difference as the needs of the child will always come first.

Secondly, there's something called common law marriage (it's just a social term/slang) but it's when people live together and are not married. If I recall correctly, living together for 2 years or more, gives certain rights akin to being married. The longer you live together, the more those rights become entrenched.

If you live together as partners and intermingle your lives, i.e. get a joint mortgage, joint accounts, have kids etc then for all intents and purposes, you'll be treated as a married unit from a financial perspective. To avoid all of these blurred lines, you must have a contracting out agreement from the start so something similar to pre-nup or you keep your funds and your lives separate. It's why single mothers will claim living alone for benefit reasons as once a partner moves in, his income is taken as family income even when the children are not his!

The longer the relationship lasts as a joint couple aka partners living together, the more rights you have. My friends have just separated after being together for 23 years (unmarried with an older teen son). Splitting the assets still started at 50/50. Son opted to stay with the dad as the mum is moving back home so the assets have been split 60/40 in favour of dad. They've sold the family home and had to negotiate to keep their pensions.

So not getting married is not the get out of jail card people think it is. For a lot of my white friends and this spans all countries I've lived in - they just don't see marriage as proof of commitment anymore and don't see the need for it. Especially where there are kids and a mortgage. You can walk away from a marriage, you can't walk away from child support or mortgage payments or joint debts. So I agree with them - any of those 3 things are a greater proof of commitment than marriage vows.

The biggest advantage to not being married is that if you die, partner has to take your estate to court to get something out of it if you have not co-mingled your lives and finances. It does also means you can't make decisions on behalf of the other person without a prior PoA so if for any reason you need urgent hospital care and can't consent, they can't consent for you as a married partner will be able to do.

Plus at the end of the day, the lawyers will always walk away with more than you ever think you can hold or protect. So either shine ya eyes and jump in with both feet, or close your eyes and dip one toe in and stay on the side-lines. The law is blind and an ass. It starts from a position of fairness to everyone.

Thanks for this. Exactly the answer I was looking for. Love your knowledgeable takes on issues…. Unlike others 👍🏾

You're very correct on this, most folks especially focus on the care visa which is the easiest to get because of prolonged stay in the UK while the dependent gets a full-time job to survive. I think we all need to be more strategic cos when push comes to shove, it always ends in frustration, all these warehouse or support jobs for most people should just be the foundation to kickstart your life in the UK while you then begin to find out what you actually want to do and go for it. For most people, they need to switch careers cos at the end of the day it's not just earning pounds but actually doing what you love to do, that is what will bring true satisfaction, especially in the UK. And I think that's the advantage of a forum like this to help people navigate this.

Did you show them proof of the application for your NIN? I think your focus now should be getting your NIN, you can always contact the company back and I think since you have signed the contract, the job may still be intact. if they do not respond again, Please move on, that you got such a job means you can always get another easily. Be encouraged bruv,

Don't neglect the experience and skills you have developed in the past no matter what happened before, the Uk job market is an experience-based market, there are transferable skills you must have developed in the past, see how you can use them to upskill for project mgt or PMO. These things especially PMO (project mgt office) are not a big deal here, even common minutes taking is a skill. That you're a dependent has made things easier as you're not seeking sponsorship. If I were you, if I had corporate work experience back in Nigeria, I'll leverage that. And the good thing most of those roles here are hybrid giving you flexibility to look after your family

Hi. Goke. Thank you so much for your encouragement. I did share proof of applying for NIN.

Any idea how long it takes for the HRMC/UK to get back to me on the NIN. I felt kind of bad because I had some rejections at the application stage before now. Anyway, I will continue to apply and I trust God for good news. I am a Sis though even though I am a Son of God.

I think your focus now should be getting your NIN, you can always contact the company back and I think since you have signed the contract, the job may still be intact. if they do not respond again, Please move on, that you got such a job means you can always get another easily. Be encouraged bruv,

Thank you.
