Naira now exchanging at 520. what is happening in that Nigeria bikonu.

This is terrifying

In 2016 i exchanged £1 for N600 at Abuja airport, a day after i went to Nicon Hilton Abuja and got N620 for £1.

So its not that bad yet.

I am already in Nigeria enjoying my self and enjoying my country. Make Una carry Una UK for Una head. Lol!! I am a free man now. So happy!!!!

Its sounds like you are trying to convince yourself way too hard . Wishing you all the happiness you state

LuvlyIva:


Hmmmm let me see it ooooo! How can someone in the UK that works as mental health care assistant for years not have saving. Shame!!

This reeks of so much entitlement and disrespect to your wife. Just log out of Social Media and relax uncle, you are an elder abeg

Don't forget to file for a divorce.......

I remember vividly his 1st post on the subject matter.

Smart girl...

Hello house please i need your advice. I am really down. I have really be thinking the way forward in been with my wife. I have read all your comments, advices and suggestions the last time I posted the above post and other posts. I am really thanksful and very great full. Many thanks all.

I have discussed with my family and a priest and they said I should try going through student visa to join my wife. That is not proper for us to live apart even if I have a good job. My family said that since we have done the Catholic wedding, we can not live separate, that is not good marriage and breaking up Catholic marriage involves lot of process but, I should try student visa and if things are not working properly, I can then decide the process of moving on with my life if my wife is still dragging her feet in joining her.

Last week my family called my wife and told her to come bk Nigeria so that we do registry and she fills my papers for me to join her OR I try to raise money to process student visa and I start up school in that way we can be together. My wife just told me that if I have the money I can do it, that the ball is in my hands. Please house I am confused, should I go ahead and start processing for student visa, and when I get it, then start school and try to see if my wife can agree to fill for me in the UK. I have started making enquiries on student visa. I also believe that studying can help me get a good job and start of my family life.


plan B is that if i get to UK with student visa, and try to make the marriage work and she refuses to agree to fill for me, I have decided to move on with my life in the UK. My question now for plan B is can I get married with student visa in the UK, how does it work? After my student visa expires can I have extension ?

For plan A if things work out well with me and wife is it possible for us to get married with my student visa? Will the process be long and complicated?

Please house I need your advice on both plan A and B I am always greatful for your wonderful advice, espicially those of you that take out y time to comment.God bless. Many thanks.

Eyahhhhh

Hello good people of nairaland . I am new to this forum, it is through search to my problem I got this forum. I and my wife is confused and in big dilemma right now. We need advice and suggestions what we can do to solve the problem we are in right now. We never knew that this problem will come up like this and never knew that my wife will get idenfite leave this soonest. We lost hope on it. lawyers are charging us alot to solve the problem. (£1400)My wife is based in the UK. In 2013 she came to Nigeria we got married in court and did small traditional marriage .Then my wife spent three weeks bf she left UK and promise to fille spouse visa for me but my wife was refused indenfite leave two times in 2015&2017. I got frustrated staying alone ,so my family was contemplating calling off the marriage bc they need grand kids and me too need to settle down. I was also refused visiting visa twice bf I got married. So I re-applied again for visiting visa this May 2019 through an agent and the agent advice that I put single in the application instead of married. The reason the agent put single is that he said that home office will denied my visa application if I write that my wife stays in the UK and homeoffice will refuse it bc they might think I will not like to come bk again. So I agree to what the agent said, we put single. I got the visiting visa and travel around June. And also I and my wife deceided that I will not come bk bc my wife av been trying to conceive. My wife put in for her papers again, To the glory of God my wife was given Indenfite leave just yesterday .But the problem now is that i wrote I was single in my visiting visa application. Please house can my wife still apply for spouse visa for me using our previous court marriage certificate? Will the visa be denied bc of saying I was single in my visiting visa application? If my wife explain to ECO in cover letter will they give me spouse visa? Should I come back to Nigeria and apply for marriage visa, so that we can remarry again in the UK and then I go bk to Nigeria and the spouse visa will be filled? We spoke to my wife lawyer she said we can apply for spouse visa but need to explain all in cover letter to ECO why I decided to put single in my visiting visa application. Please I need suggestions and advise from the house. I and my wife are in serious dilemma. Please I will appreciate advice to this situation or suggestions on what can be done. Or is there any body that have lied in visa application and apologize and got visa? I really need to be with my wife so that we can start making babes. Thanks you.

This is the same guy ohhh in 2019.

Serious. So one can use any court certificate. I taught that the only recognise court and certificate for spouse visa is Ikoyi marriage certificate in Lagos. That was what they told us and we spent alot of money at Ikoyi marriage court. Thanks for the information.

I can’t imagine that we gave this silly lying Arrow so much of our time.

What are criteria for tier 2 visa

Tier-2 criteria:
Apply to, and Get a job as a permanent staff in an establishment in any tier-2 eligible environment.



When the company issues you a certificate of sponsorship, you then migrate.

Look at eligible employers (someone posted the link yesterday or so) then apply for jobs in those companies. If successful, they will issue you a certificate of sponsorship which you will use to apply for your visa. You can also apply to startups, depending on your skillset and if they really need you, they can decide to go through the process of sponsorship.
Depending on your skillset, you can apply through the Tier 1 exceptional talent route. Google it for therequirements.

I renewed my pasport in London [b]couple of months ago.[/b[

Hello house,

I've come to discus car insurance.

I did my first comprehensive Car Insurance last September with Admiral (Black Box). I paid a total of £1085 (over 10 months). I assumed annual mileage of 10000 miles, but so far I've driven just over 5000 miles. £500 voluntary excess.
I used the blackbox until December when they asked me to send it back, which I did. Whle using the blackbox, Admiral sent me weekly emails grading my driving. I stated out very good but the last 2 months, I got poor ratings (mostly due to regularly driving just above the speed limit ).
I didn't make any claims. I had one small minor accident with another car in december, but the driver and I agreed to handle it without involving insurance.

This Admiral insurance expires in a few weeks. I was looking forward to paying between £400 - $600 as renewal.

However, Admiral is now offering me £979 to renew. This is basically the same amount as last year, and I'm not going to pay this much to renew.

I've tried getting quotes from comparison websites (USwitch, GoCOmpare, CompareTheMarket) and the lowest quote I'm getting is £800 from Marshmallow and £816 from RAC (using another Blackbox).

I checked aviva's website, and they offered £980.

I'm confused. Am I doing something wrong to be getting these high renewal quotes?

Can someone recommend a cheaper car insurance that is not available on these comparison sites?

always try to get your quote through phone calls. It way cheaper than using the website tool. I make use of Adrian flux brokers. They give best quotes. Try give them a call! Let me know the quote they will give you afterwards.

So many companies have notices on their websites saying covid has reduced their customer service team so we shouldn't call unless very necessary.

But I'll call henceforth. Thanks.

They all probably lied to you..... Den sabi say you love to borrow, but have difficulties paying back..........

lol

@bolded Check confused.com

Call same admiral and tell them you want your NCB that you are leaving as you got a better offer with another company. They will most likely ask you how much offer you got. Tell them you got £550 of £600 and ask them if they can match it.

Your post code, model of car, your age (over 25s are seen as lower risk than u25s, additional driver (try to add an experience driver without any claims in the last 5 years), NCB and your profession are determinants of car insurance quote.

Tweaking your job title can also help.

I called the home office covid-19 immigration support team to ask if I have to pay the IHS because I’m a front line NHS staff. They said I shld pay but apply for a refund. They gave me email address to contact to get a refund after payment. I made the payment and sent this email with all my details and application number about 2 weeks ago.

I got a reply today saying:
