Good day all... i will be travelling soon to the UK, Egyptair and Etihad are the airlines on my mind.... sooo, i wanna get reviews or advice on the best airline to follow based on:

1. Layover, is anyone gonna lodge the flyer in a hotel or you wait in the lounge or something?

2. Inflight entertainment, which one gives better food and entertainments like drinks, cable sockets, screen for movies?

3. Comfortability, which one has better leg space as am pretty tall?

4. Baggage allowance, you know what i mean ba?

5. Other necessary reviews or comment not listed here.

Are you sure? Don't give up yet. You have to think outside the box.

Can a food scientist work as a nutritionist, biomedical scientist, process scientist, toxicologist?

jesudaughter:
Hello house,

Can my dependents come to join me in UK on a later date using one way flight?

Is one way allowed for dependents of tier 4?

STENON:
I like their curry o . Indians always try to multiply at any region they are, by using their curry shop as sponsor for their cousins, aunts, inlaws, friends etc to migrate from Indian to UK

Tory win renews fears over immigration plan
December 31, 2019
By Nadeem Badshah
https://www.easterneye.biz/tory-win-renews-fears-over-immigration-plan/

Skilled chefs are on the Tier 2 visa shortage occupation list. Curry houses have been struggling to recruit overseas talent because of a £30,000 minimum salary threshold, the previous rule that no takeaway service is offered by the restaurant, as well as language requirements. The home secretary is to relax rules restrictions so that restaurants and takeaways can look to south Asia, meaning new recruits to Britain don’t have to meet the earning threshold that applies to workers in other sectors.

According to research, curry houses in the UK are closing at a rate of two per week with the industry pleading to ministers for help for years.

Your favourite curry houses won’t survive Brexit – ‘vindaloo visas’ will speed up their demise
by Rabina Khan

Independent

In 2017, the then Liberal Democrat Leader, Sir Vince Cable, called on the government to introduce temporary “vindaloo visas” to help address the problem of curry restaurant staff shortages. Two years later, his call has been answered with Priti Patel, the home secretary’s announcement to introduce such measures, which would lift immigration restrictions on skilled chefs from South Asia, thereby removing the recruitment dilemma for restaurant owners.

At Time of Crisis Home Office Approves ‘Vindaloo Visas’

A very basic change to the Immigration Rules, which normally would receive no mention at all other than a glance, received a bit more coverage than usual when home secretary Priti Patel announced the introduction of “vindaloo visas” to save the nation’s curry houses. In 2017, it was reported by the Telegraph and Guardian that they were closing at a rate of two per week.

An expired passport, is no longer a valid travelling document nah........

Aphrodite007:
Please you people o, I have question.

Can I travel to naija with just 1 week left on my passport?

Kolping:
True. Now they have their sister as Home Secretary and brother as Chancellor. Expect more curry chefs coming to the UK...

Bankalert:
Just came back from the UK, London specifically on a 3 day visit, through my Office(Goverment office). My experiences so far have been a bit overwhelming. But to an extent, I wouldn't consider moving permanently to the UK. Within the three days I stayed and toured London, I learnt quite enough to know to remain in Nigeria if UK is the only option I have.
I hope to go there for studies though this year and come back....

But my plan is to move to another Country in Europe after my studies in UK. Is this feasible? I mean using a UK certificate to work in let's say Germany, France or Finland for example.

popplm:
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to settling down of new migrants here. I recently arrived at Edinburgh with tier 4 visa and have been struggling with getting accommodation and the weather isn’t nice here . Please I want to know which of the bank can I open with as a student and which of the network should I get that will be good to call my family in Nigeria with low tariff. @stenon, ma I have a bachelor in teacher’s education/chemistry. I am as well interested in teaching here in Scotland please where do I start from?

humblemoi:
Please may I ask if it is possible to renew my expired Nigerian drivers license from the UK so as to pick up and use when I land in Lagos sometime this year rather than using my UK license or what options have I got?

Hi all, season's greetings. Please can anyone help me out with a good agency for recruitment of computer software developers/programmers from Nigeria, something similar to these agencies that work out recruitment for nurses and doctors? Thank you.

I see the UK media are already trying to blame the death of this family on their inability to swim. If that was indeed the cause of death, it bothers on sadism that at this early stage when the investigation is yet to complete, they are already blaming the family for causing their own death. The erroneous conclusion they have hastily made is that no one who can swim has ever drowned in a swimming pool.

LagosismyHome:
I think the problem is from first bank and not WR but not sure. When i called First bank they said they is no hold on the account and the account is fine ..... Maybe my mothers prayers that i should not overdo father xmas this year is what is happening .... Since the WR didnt go and i couldnt wait for 60 days resolution , i went an opened Azimo account and sent the exact same money 2 days ago and it till now it hasnt been credited . Azimo has no contact number so i raised a complain via email and got this response . What are the odds that you send money through two separate provider and in both cases none was credited . It has to be with the receiving bank then . The only difference between WR and Azimo is that WR marked it as paid but Azimo status has remained as "processing your transfer" for 2 days

------------------
From Amizo , money sent 22nd and 24th stilll not credited

Thank you for contacting us.

I have checked your account and I can see that your transfer is currently being processed in the receiving country.

Due to a very high amount of transfers right before Christmas, it’s very likely that some banks may need more time to process payments.
I would recommend waiting a few more hours for the money to be delivered.If the money is not paid out by today evening, please get back to me.
We remain at your disposal in case of any further questions.

Hi everyone,

I am currently on my Doctorate Extension Scheme visa after completion of my PhD. The following is a summary of my situation.

Summary:
Point 1: I'm currently enroute a comfortable 6 years in UK continuous residence and hope to make the 10 year ILR.
Point 2: I have spent 5 of this 6 continuous years studying without breaks. the 6th current year is on a Doctoral extension scheme (1 year visa) expiring next year.
Point 3: I now need to earn 4 years more to qualify for the 10 year ILR.

However,
Point 4: The UK has an 8 year maximum study cap. As I have also held a previous (since expired) tier 4 visa on a masters course for 17 months (i.e the standard 1 year 5 months visa), it doesn't count towards continuous residence now. This is because I went back to Nigeria after I completed it and spent more than 180 days there before returning to the UK to study again. Even so, this study period is still counted by the UK Home Office as 1 year 5 months used towards the 8 year study cap.

Therefore,
Point 5: My total study period in the UK so far adds up to 6 years 5 months, which leaves me with 19 months (1year 7 months) left to use on the 8 year study cap. (But remember point 3 above)

At Present:
I learnt about the return of the Post study work scheme, though it isn't yet in effect, I heard it would only be valid for those graduating from 2021 onwards.

My Intention:
I plan to leave the UK after my DES expires next year for 6 months and return in less than 180 days to start the MBA. (This gives me 6 months of continuous residency even though I wouldn't be present in the UK for that time as long as I return within 180 days).

After the MBA programme:
6months (outside UK) + 18 months (MBA) = 2 years
Post study work visa = 2 years
This adds up to the 4 years that I need to qualify for ILR.

Questions:
Will the new PostStudyWork visas start automatically after 2021 Masters completion, or these would have to be applied for?
Is it possible for me to apply for an 18 month MBA course, even though I now have a PhD?
Does anyone know any UK universities that offer 18 month MBA programmes that begin in March/April 2021?

Would there be any issues with my current situation and intentions above?
Other suggestions are welcome.

wonlasewonimi:
We that have witnesed recession in this country know it is no joke. Brace yourself guys!

spacyzuma:
Sir, you are being ridiculous with your gloating.
I have mentioned my 3 reasons for not wanting tories, yet you went on with taunts like I voted labour.
I won't be responding to you after this. Cheers. Gloat and taunt away.

spacyzuma:
I am really disappointed about the results.
I didn't want the tories to win.
My reasons are the way they have kept underfunding the NHS, social services and the police.
I worry about the future of the NHS.
Brexit sef, the process of fully leaving the EU will last for years. It's not just gonna happen on Jan 31st.

wonlasewonimi:
Labour for the win.
