Official ones would not be cost effective to buy and send to naija

Just something a little cheap, not planning to sell

Iphones would never be cheap, your profit margins would be a so little or non existent, that you would sharply reconsider your newly founded business venture........


Even stolen Iphones too, are not any cheaper.... Because the person selling it to you, hopes you're taking it abroad.....

If it's ícloud locked, which most Iphones are...... Have you heard how much they charge to remove lock (if it's possible)?

If phone is successfully tracked, the buyer is coming for you or your agent........


By this time, the person you bought the phone from, is long gone.............. smiley smiley

Lol, not a biz though...i was just planning to get a handful for some relatives in naija

I don't think so, if you have the time to spend online especially on eBay you will get a good deal. Rule number 1...don't buy from businesses selling on eBay, buy from individual sellers.

2. Look out for items on offer, buy now/bid. You can get a pretty good deal when you make an offer before the bidding start.

3. Avoid bidding for an item hours even minutes before the bid ends else you will end up pushing the price up.

Iphones particularly on ebay, are never cheap...... Users upgrade their devices, but still demand premium after 48 months usage..........

That Apple effect......... cheesy

You need to test it, the best app for ebay hunters........ The app only allows 3 seconds to end of bidding, to place bids.......

Use desktop version, desktop version allows one second to end of bid.....

That is not entirely true but then again it depends on what you called 'cheap', what model of iphone and what do you want it for? Personal use or resale?

Why do you want iPhone X for £100? How about for £1 with discount code included?

If that is what you meant by cheap then you are not being realistic

Wait, how does going for 3years course/training make them under qualified? Have you seen the course outline and training schedule already? How did you arrive at ‘under qualified’ so fast? Sending love and light your way though

Aphrodite007:


Interesting. So they going to go from having no doctors, to having under qualified docs... interesting.

Let me do and be going to Canada please grin

I will suggest you do some basic reading on what the preexisting 4 year 'Graduate Entry Medicine' course which is open to anyone with a first degree entails. This 3 year scheme currently being proposed is only a year less than the GEM course, and the reasoning behind this short pathway is that the healthcare professionals it targets already have a basic knowledge of pathophysiology and pharmacology. A year spent teaching these professionals basic pathophysiology and pharmacology is like teaching a grandma to suck eggs.

The ''under qualified docs'' dribble is mainly being touted by The Sun and DailyMail newspapers and their adherents.

Hi good people here.
I have less than 2 years on my visa (tier 2), planning to renew though. Can I apply for 2 years visitor visa for my mum? She applied for the 6 months last year and was granted. Is it advisable to go for the 2 years or just do 6 months?

Yes I think a 2 years after 6 months is a good progression
