Freeze it rock solid. Use small plastic “Amstel” bottles. Good luck.

I really don't understand why some people cannot think straight. You hit someone with an hammer and start crying when he brings out a gun? Does hamas care about the suffering of their people? For the fact that they are still keeping Israeli hostage and firing rockets shows they are interested in fighting and ready for the consequences.
What have the Palestinians suffered that has not been suffered by Black people in the past, yet we don't go around killing and kidnapping. Let the terrorists drop their weapons and give activism a chance. At least Black people had persons like Martin Luther, Mandela and India had Ghandi. It may take time and sacrifice but things would eventually get better.

First, Hamas is not equivalent to Palestine.

I find your bolded statement on black history very aborhent and ignorant. Every single right you enjoy as a black man in the West today (bar none) was the product of blood and tears.

Know the history of these men before you sully their names in mud. Mandela was christened a terrorist by Margaret Tatcher and the ANC as a terrorist organisation. Mandela remained on the US terror watch list until 2008. Think about that. We could also highlight how the US saw MLK during his time. Know their history before eulogising them.

Let me ask was Mandela ever a terrorist and if yes, at what point did he stop becoming one?

P.s. if responding, think carefully beforehand so you don't anger the West

Please do anyone know how I can get a good insurance deal for my car. Renewing the insurance seems too high.

Any advice on how to go about getting a better insurance deal. Thanks

Please how did you do your Practical Test before you get your full license 🪪
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by lightofjoy(m): 8:21am On Jan 17
I first applied for my provisional license, then I wrote the theory test and thereafter I took the practical. For me, the whole process took about 3 months.

Hi Please I need help.
I applied to renew my Nigerian passport in July 2023. I did my capturing on 18th October 2023, paid the post order too. I was given a slip saying collection date is 15th December 2023 and I'm yet to receive it. I am due to switch my student visa but I'm yet to do biometrics as my current passport expires 23rd January 2024. Please how do I contact high commission? Or Do I go to London?

No way to contact them than going to London.
If you give them your collection slip,they may check the progress of your application. Just reach there after 10am

So I just got a credit card with high interest rate. The rate doesn't bother me anyway because my intention is to use the card to buy things from Asda for instance and then pay back to boost my credit limit limit and score. My question us this, should I always wait for them to send me statement or I should just return the money used as soon as I used it. Please help so as to avoid paying interest. Thanks.
If your interest rate is high the pay off everything before the due date else your interest is paid on the balance you leave unpaid.

Also, if you're financing the car, don't use the dealers or comparison sites, etc. Their rates are quite high (28% to 40%+). If you can't get single digit from your bank, use an App called Carmoola and thank me later. You'd get like 14% there and the best user experience ever.

I screenshot useful posts whenever I see them. So just imagine the number of nairaland screenshots in my photo gallery.

Honestly Seun should upgrade this UI but he won’t listen.

Send them a message on Twitter — they’re very active on there. Alternatively, ask people in your circle if they know anyone who works there…those people can influence things. Sad, but true.

Many of these Japanese car are quite reliable so you'd get great money's worth from them without the hefty price tag. These are cars that you mught be able to flog till 200k miles. Nissan might not be on top of the list but fair enough.
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Solumtoya: 4:32pm On Jan 17
If you're buying a car like these of £10k+,
1. Better to buy from a Dealer, ensure it has like 10 to 12 months MOT.
2. Run a vehicle check on the vehicle to avoid surprises. CarVertical is a good company that provides this service.
3. Investigate imported cars well or just avoid them.
4. Check the MOT History, looking out for any inconsistencies in Mileage, recurring advisory, etc.
5. Very IMPORTANT: Request a Warranty from the Dealer. You may be required to pay for it, but try and get like a 1 or even 3 year warranty. Imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your dealer will fix (parts and labour) any single issue that comes up for the next 3 years. They may charge as much as £500 per year but it's worth it.
6. To get better value for money, be flexible with Mileage. A 40k mileage and a 60k mileage will typically have price difference but will serve most times similarly.
