Goat meat or beef please

Try Asian shops like shops run by Pakistani's. Or where they sell Halal meat. You can buy whole lamb or goat in some of those places. Note that because the goat is skinned and not roasted, you do not get that smoky flavour.

Good morning all, pls can one use an infinix phone in the UK?

I come In peace

I can't say why but this almost led to tears

One, i empathize with you
Two, i feel same way currently though i got to UK some weeks ago... Yet still had a rather shocking experience from a transaction done back in 9ja out of trust. Na small remain i for cancel Nigerians when it comes to business. Feels like wickedness runs in their veins, no human empathy but gross inhumanity.

I trust too easily as i feel it makes life less stressful God help me in my future encounters
But i do pray you find healing soon enough.

Apologies for the gibberish i just typed above

Chreze:


You are 100% right about me letting go of some trust issues. I lived in Nigeria for the last 2years+ after some time abroad and I had that Nigerian fear brought back in me. I saw the worst for that period. I won’t lie, it gave me a very scary feeling about us. people get friends account abroad and use them for illegal activities without fear of that person getting into trouble. I can be nice, do things and if possible help out in any way I can without getting personal stuff involved. I remember after my first year, my brother noticed that fear and advised I go on vacation at least once a year so as to get that fear out and remember that life is not that difficult. But after vacation, you come back and the next person doing business with you reminds you of how we can be.

I don’t want to justify my fear, but I think part of the reason we remain like this is because, even when we travel abroad, we still want to hang around ONLY our people thinking that’s where help will come from or can come from, forgetting that the reason for going abroad was to learn new things (not excluding making money). Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying our people don’t help, we do help, but I have been helped/assisted by citizens of countries rated low, I don’t think help comes from just your people. I have opened my mind to understand that you will get help/assistance because there are human on earth who have compassion not because you are from a specific part of the world.

I have been burn and I know relative who got burned too. Guess that’s the reason for the fear. One of the major reason why I like nairaland is that I get to see Nigerians help each other selflessly. Trust me if you lived in Nigeria the last 3yrs, you will know it’s not common like it used to be in the past. I don’t know if it’s the hardship in the country that led to our being wicked/heartless or if it’s just something we breath in. But I am happy to see something different on here and it gives me hope that someday we will be more compassionate and loving to not just our people but to human in general.

With regards to black market rate, like I said earlier, I don’t have issues with people making exchange at that rate, making money is not easy and anyone who does, has the right to exchange at whatever rate that makes them happy. Even Nigerian banks don’t give forex at the CBN rate. I personally don’t dig it like I said, it’s me. I believe it alters the HELP offering. Trust me helping has no side attraction, you help and that’s it. If you see most of the reason people come here for need of pounds, it’s because they are in tight corner and desperately in need of one. Giving them at black market rate (that one will not get from the money apps wen sending money to Naija) alters the HELP. To me it’s more like capitalizing on the desperation of the person in need. This is just my personal thought on that.

I am not a saint, I have my own issues too and I try to work as hard as I can to be a better person too. But I believe I am entitled to say things how I see it. I am also open to someone making me understand better the things I may be looking at from a wrong perspective.

Blessings.

Sorry but i gotta ask

Can i just buy a bicycle and start riding or protocols de for that one?

I would like to have one.

Lexusgs430:



I would say £800 pcm, for someone wey belle never big........

NB : loads of factors would also need to be considered.....

Eg -:

Home owner
Renter
Location
Car owner
Oyster owner
Bicycle owner
Current debt profile
External hangers
Taste
Love of the opposite sex
Stingy person (from Ijebu or Ondo)
Social life
Smoker/non smoker
Etc etc etc.........

Read through the unending messages.

Thanks to the people who contributed

Always worth the time.

Anyone residing at scunthorpe, Northern Lincolnshire here?

Yes you can. I too started with a Bicycle. Get a reflective vest, a helmet and equip your bike with blink/indicator light front and back for visibility (see and be seen). These are vital to have on the bike.

You can get helmet dashcams if your wallet carry am. Just in case of accident and you're not at fault; na to cashout straight.

Cheers.

No protocols...... But for your own safety, buy a helmet, lights (front and rear), if riding at night + reflective top......

Better still, I have a helmet that does majority of the aforementioned...... If you love tech/gadget, get this helmet........

Invest in a lumos bike helmet. With lumos, you can indicate you intentions, constant recurring hazard lights, overhead camera, GPS track your cycling etc etc etc

Other helmets like lumos are available, just do a Google search.......

I don't envy a rider attempting to Vooom, in this present freezer conditions........

Okay... thks mama
So to clarify coming back later to pick him up..how easy can that be without hassle.
How much does childcare or after school cost?
Maybe a range to plan ahead
Kindly help

Is the child’s visa approved already? If yes, then bringing him to the UK is easy. You can go back to nigeria anytime and pick him/her or use ‘unaccompanied minor’ service if the child is above 5years old (most airline offer this services, I’ve used it in the past for my daughter and it was perfect).

Age of the child determines childcare cost. 0-3 is about £900 for a standard nursery in my location. You get free 15hours from 3years then you have to consider after school care if you have classes in the afternoon/evenings.
You can look for informal arrangement with nannies or minders, although it has its challenges and shortfalls.

greetings to all the elders the house !!! .... please I want to know how easy it is to secure a job as a DJ in UK. Thanks

A million and one DJs come on talk radio shows these days to complain that since March 2020, gigs are cancelled, hence no business.

DJ business in this KOVIK-1,9 era no be am.

By ‘secure a job’ you meant sending you CV, attending interviews and landing a job?
Or
You meant having your own equipment, hosting a website, printing flyers and complimentary cards and distributing them, then getting calls and emails for DJ-ing at gigs?

Hello people, is it advisable to come to the UK with cash or better to put it on a card? Kindly advise

thanks for swift response sir ... Yes my plan is to have my own instruments ... I heard there are lot of Nigerians in the UK although I don’t know how often they throw parties over there but you and I know there is no where I will be getting events week in week out ,,,, so I would like to know if there are pretty much clubs and radio stations for Nigerians/Africans in the Uk.

Truth is there are still people (Nigerians) who are blessings to the world. I read some pages back about a guy that helped someone pay IHS n VISa fee without benefit. I believe things are gonna change. With regards to your fear, after sometime I also believe it will fade off (at least I hope so for myself), but being watchful and vigilant when dealing with Nigerians, I think that’s gonna be in me forever, especially people I don’t know personally.

Is better to ask someone in your sector that lives in UK.

I have no Dj friend in UK ... thanks ma’am

Gurus in the house should please help... What to do?

With the pandemic in place, School says BRP can't be picked up on the appointment date and they say the wait is indefinite.

So, a quick question... How can one process a dependent visa for the spouse without the brp?

Mind you, 28 days is already counting and should become valid by early February.

Every input is valid and appreciated.

DjPhellarz:

Bros let’s face reality coming to Uk to do DJ would fetch you almost nothing financially these days due to lockdown and social distancing issue which has made clubs and bars shut for over 1yr now....
But before COVID-19 era, you would have done extensive networking before you’ll secure gigs in clubs, bars or radio stations..... it is very different from Nigeria.
So I’ll advice you to make alternative financial plans (plan B) until whenever you finally breakthrough the DJ industry.....
DJing should be your 3rd or 4th source of income

You should call ukvi/ home office to discuss your options .. Cuz you’ll need some information from your BRP to apply for your spouse

Rebtel charges VAT. Try white calling app instead.

I guess I would give this a try. I need to get in touch with an uncle in Nigeria who isn't using WhatsApp.

PtBlank:

Put it on a card and be in serious financial predicament..... You would only be able to withdraw $100 pcm...........

Carrying cash, it must not exceed £10,000 (or else, if found by those funny sniffing dogs).... You go explain or money seized.........

Your best option if over £10,000.... Leave in Nigeria and do trade by barter (ensure you have online access).......
