Opportunity to make more money by the employer, hire another person and the cycle continues and later blame immigrants for the abuse 😂

What if the person quits after 2 weeks?
It doesn't work that way, the person has to work for a certain period before the employer gets that money...probably 6months or more.

Good day Ukarians

Please has anyone gone through the the Innovator Founders Visa route. Currently in the process and I would like to hear from someone who have succeeded in it.

Envestor is the partner I am registered with and I am just at that stage of submitting my final business plan.

Thanks

Firstly sir, I am not a bross. Yes actually it’s to bring an outfit i made in Nigeria. I was meant to use lordtaylor shipping company but the tailor disappointed and delivered quite late so i am just scared that if i use them it wont arrive before i need it. So i was happy to meet up at Heathrow if the person lives outside london or the persons house if he/she is london based.

I understand alot of people try to be careful with things like because of the risk of unknowingly carrying a prohibited item. i still think it comes down to a heart that is open to truly helping, there is still such a thing as risk assessment- if you were for example coming from lagos, you could firstly start by asking what item i was looking to bring. If it was me that would be my first comment/question at least.

I am not sure i have heard of tailors who can hide cocaine in the thread used to stitch the materials loool or perhaps was the material used to sew the clothes made from cocaine.

Anyways forgive me if non of these makes sense to you. If anyone also know of a dispatch company that could surely deliver next week please let me know as well((except the usual likes of dhl , parcel force and ups that is extremely pricey)

Look save yourself the head ache that comes with you not using your dress, Nobody will bring it I can hit my chest to tell you this ,Even you speaking will not carry anything for a person you don't know unless you are the one who done it in Nigeria and is returning to the UK,I will not even think anyone this 2026 will transport a grand of salt for anyone they do not know. Have you not seen the depth people go to hide stuff? There is a reason you are asked at the airport if you packed all of the luggage yourself. From the way you are talking you sound as if you will bring something for a stranger from Nigeria or anywhere i n the world, if this is t rue you must be a new traveller, DONT, If you live in London there are bunch of air freight people in south and north of London, you get your goods 4 days max cos it comes via air.Do you have any idea of how many people are rotting in prison for this simple gesture? If you are near Plumstead, there is a guy that does air cargo at the other end of Plumstead high street SE2 opp the petrol station, not shell but the other one, Plumstead high street junction with Bastion road SE2 I'm trying to remember the name or you can also go to the Nigerian barbers near the Plumstead fire service. On Lakedale road, they are Nigerians.
Also if you are in the East, there are shyte load of shipping companies owned by Nigerians in Dagenham

Okayy erico2k2, you don’t know me. If it was me I would carry an item for someone once i am rest assured its safe to do so. I have lived in the uk for almost 10 years now. I am going to Nigeria in August and thankfully i have more than enough baggage allowance. Do you need anything from Nigeria? Let me know , so far u cn pick up when i arrive London.


I am not offended by any of the things u said but with individuals like you i just love to help people like you see that not everyone thinks like you. It looks like you are so locked up in yourself , your mind and your own ways.

Don’t worry if someone here helps me i would tell you.

Side note- please if you want to refer a shipping company, a website or at least a contact number will suffice. Your descriptions are a bit over load for me lool.

Well I wont ask anyone to bring stuff for me cos I know the answer, from your own admission you have never known anyone other than yourself who will bring stuff, You said 10 years in the Uk, well you only arrived last night, some of us have been here for 30 years, I came to school here 2000, and only lived in London so I think I pass for experience if you put it that way. I am opportune to do some Jobs in Prisons around the Uk, you will be surprised the numbers of persons in jail for carrying something they know nothing about, there are loads of stories to give you but no point. You see the way you are asking this questions, its the same way drug traffickers source innocent persons on line to carry stuff for them, If truly indeed you have lived in the UK for 10 years are you trying to tell us you have never ever [b]shipped [/b]anything to Nigeria from the Uk in the whole 10 years you have been in the UKhuh

Lool i didn’t arrive last night i only arrived this morning😁, Good to hear you have been here since 2000.

I ship alot of food items through lordtaylor cargo. They are in Dagenham and i live in east so they really work for me. But did u see my previous post where i mentioned i don’t want to use them because i am not sure if the outfit will arrive before i need to use it.

Anyways Mr Erico thank you for your contributions and thoughts, i get the gist.

Please anyone who can help kindly send a DM, thank you in advance.

Fingers crossed sir, by the way just to add.. if you were schooling in the UK in 2000 then you are definitely way older than i am. I was born only in 1999 lool , so I am sure your experiences in life and wisdom surely surpasses mine hence all your perspectives. That is very understandable sir.

It will be in your best interest not to do this especially if you are going to countries in Asia / Arab countries because you will explain tire if things go south.

You are better off using DHL if it is that important or seek out a family friend who knows you and can inspect item well before bringing for you

I concur DHL it if it's that urgent.

The person I know who got into prison
It was the wife that packed his suitcase They both served time., he did not know nada first time traveler recently remarried after 1st wife died.

Others had near misses..things in bibles, portraits and in the sole of sandals.

My dad would carry entire suitcases for ppl back in the day till we saw he helped someone carry loads of Bibles. He didn't think nothing of it even though we warned him ,till one day he saw on the news that drugs were concealed in the Bible covers.last time he carried anything for anyone.

I don't carry unless I'm buying it myself.
Even those who are sent to drop off stuff for you to carry will sneak in other things to see if you'd comply.

True that. The ARM MMF gives close to 20-22% pa, they credit you daily (do your due diligence though). Good thing with it is that you have access to your funds at anytime (though when you first start, you must leave it in there for 90 days, subsequently, you can withdraw).
Do you have referral code or anyone else? I want to open an account with them.

Interesting article - I said this several moons ago and it seems some of them are seeing it too

The UK must accept it is no longer a global power
https://www.ft.com/content/878954aa-d1d0-404b-836d-ee5398e1d753?syn-25a6b1a6=1

Below excerpt captures it well --

Take China policy. Badenoch’s party has a position that is more consistently and avowedly hostile to China, the world’s second most powerful nation and increasingly an indispensable nation across many policy fields. Even Trump’s America, or Joe Biden’s, did not and does not pursue a policy as hawkish and hostile to China as the one envisaged by the current Tory party.

What unites Britain’s politicians is that none seems able to accept, let alone tell the country, that the UK is a middle power whose influence over its own destiny is limited. And that for middle powers to prepare to weather the crises caused by bigger powers in an uncertain world can take decades. The inability to talk candidly about the UK’s role in the world means settling for a worse relationship with the EU and makes it harder to win popular consent for long-term projects such as building nuclear power stations or adopting heat pumps.
Part of the issue is that we have transitioned from being a global superpower to a country in crisis to (thanks to the Thatcher revolution) a financial services superpower. For a long time, this allowed British politicians to remain at the centre of world affairs and to talk as if they were not leading a middle power
