Please guys, am coming to the UK in the next 5 days from now.
Is there any special requirement at the port of entry.

I also want to ask this on behalf of my younger brother who got married to a white woman(British) in Nigeria. He wants to process his spousal visa but his wife is on benefit and she earn a little above £20k from PIP and benefit.
Though she has changed her surname on her passport, house document and bank name.

Can someone please advice on how to go about it and the necessary documents he will need.

Thanks

I think she needs to be working in order to bring him over. if she has been on benefit for a long time, its going to be difficult to give up.

The mind is very powerful, when we really want to do something we can.

Did you notice how other black celebrities were comforting him and not Chris? Did you notice that he received an award and standing ovations just after assaulting someone on live TV?

He did not even apologies to CR during his speech, only after hours of news coverage that he decided to apologise.

He laughed at that joke a first then turned around and noticed that his wife did not find it funny then lashed out.

Shame to those black celebrities comforting and supporting him after what he did.

They were not comforting him, they were advising him, since he was just about to flush his career down the drain. I'm talking about Denzel and Tyler

This fly deserves to be killed with a hammer in this instance.
He displayed behaviour that makes him unworthy of receiving an honour.
The Academy has specific ts and cs about members upholding its values and all that which he specifically violated by that act, so they would be fully justified in taking it away from him.

Think of the universities and their "being worthy in character and learning", you can pass all your exams and get expelled for fighting, for instance.

His behaviour was disgraceful but he needs to be served with the appropraite punishment. We should not let our emotions rule our judgement.

LagosismyHome:
This just continues the narrative of the angry black person. ... he could have voice his displeasure in a non violent way.

The joke wasn't even that bad , although children and health issues should be off limit but technically it not yet off limitb

i agree, so embarrassing. The whites will be thinking, they have involved more blacks in the Oscar and they have brought their ghetto behaviour along. It was shameful behaviour by Will Smith and even the shouting and cursing from his seat made the situation worst. not good for blacks. we don't have too many black role models up there and see what Will goes to do at the Oscars. If not for Denzel Washington he wouldn't have even apologised in the first place.

TheGuyFromHR:
I agree - the Academy should withdraw the award.
Irrespective of the merits or otherwise of the joke about his wife's hair and how he felt about it, resorting to violence, and on the Academy's premises before the whole world to boot, is a no-no.

That's like killing a fly with a hammer. He can be fined but not stripped of his Oscar because he worked hard for it.

Hi Nairalanders,
What is the best way to invest funds without actually being engaged in doing anything? I have what I do that brings in money, I just feel like some funds are idle in my account and Naira - dollar fluctuations isn't helping matter.

For example fixed deposit accounts, which Nigerian bank has the best interest rate?

No cryptocurrency
No forex
No betting
No scam investment
No PM

Thank you.

Anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it.

Yes you are right.

I wish i could do this

Ray7878:
I don’t think so, the person said mentioned Abuja in their previous post. That’s why I am confused right now.

The Nigerian high commission only deals with Nigerian Visas and passports.

Ray7878:
You mean at Ikeja TLS? For which sort of visa?

I think he means Nigerian passport renewal in the UK.

Someone gave me a simple job of making an existing static site template responsive within 24 hours and I blew it. A simple task that should take few hours, it looked all good on my localhost only to test it on netlify and it turned out to be a disaster. I'm just so ashamed of myself.

I've been learning web dev since mid last year though its been a case of one month on three months off, I've been grossly inconsistent due circumstances beyond my control. I haven't even coded this year because I come back from my menial hustles with battered bones and weak muscles. You can imagine trying to code after offloading a trailer load of cement all day. I even had to use bet shops around for the gig amidst the pangs of hunger I felt while working coupled with the noisy and distracting environment I was working in which contributed to my legendary blunder.

At the age of 30 and unemployed I've always seen programming as my way out of poverty but it seems I'm not good enough. I'm painfully watching that little flicker of hope fizzle out before my tearful eyes. Which other skill can I dabble into product design?? I suck at designs reason why my frontend skills is below average... should I try backend?? I'm just confused, frustrated and down casted not knowing the next step to take while time is no longer on my side.

Life currently has no meaning and direction to me, I just seem to be flowing aimlessly with the flow. My situation is giving me sleepless nights and I now rely on drugs to sleep for even three hours a day.

I really need someone to talk to, I'm really tired of trying to work out things on my own. I'm 30, broke, lonely and depressed, single has been a constant in my life's equation cos I don't even like myself for who I am presently so I don't expect someone's daughter to like me in this my miserable state.

Someone should please show me the way, this dark tunnel is fast turning to a maze that I can't navigate on my own.

Hey, You are too hard on yourself, give yourself a break.
Things are hard for a lot of people. You need to get rid of all the negativity and concentrate on the positives.
After reading your story all I see, is a young man with loads of potential but doesn't know it because he is his own worst enemy and he keeps knocking himself down at every little mistake. Who doesn't make mistakes?
Stop this or you will lead yourself to the road of self destruct and not able to come back.

This is very good!

I have tried going on the Nigerian high commission website to renew my Nigerian passport and nothing is showing. I thought everything was sorted, are they still having problems?

They have been down for a while now.

Interest rates up again.

You should be wearing a mask as this level of pollution is unsustainable, this is what you are breathing into your lungs. Very sad. Another option is to move out to a less polluted town if you can afford to do so.
Life has no duplicate.

MadeMen4Life:
I just did now by following what you said and To God Be The Glory, it worked. I paid £13 and I can login and also see my profile.. Thank you BOSS..

Nairaland is really UNDERRATED… So many bags of information disseminated here on a daily is helping new people like us..

Be careful don't say it out too loud or Seun with start charging members subscription.

I think the OP's lady should run all i am seeing here are red flag signs of a control freak. Checking her phone? Lord Judgmental .

Her mum and sister's circumstances could be beyond their control. This lady should run as far away as possible.

Mamatukwas:
Did you guys hear about the young man who travelled to Ukraine for School and died almost immediately from cold? His room had no heating. So sad

Sad reality. May his soul rest in peace.

Hello Gurus in the house. Thank you all for your wonderful contributions to this group and your contributions have been so helpful. But I need clarification for a dilemma I am in.
So I got in to UK November and got a band 4 position in NHS herein London that include inner London high wages. There checks were concluded just last week, received unconditional offer and I have email the HR about my starting date and my words, and she replied that I have been schedule for an induction and appointment contract will be sent by next week. However, yesterday I got a better offer in Band 5 in an interview I did early this month with higher pay and nearer to my house....
But I already gave out my words to the HR of the formal offer work, with all arrangement for inductions now in place.

What can I do ?

There are certain situations where you have to look out for yourself and i think this is one of them. Just call the the first employer and be honest with them so they can have it on record. Don't leave it to until the last minute. These employers always choose about three final applicants, just incase their first or second choice disappoints.

Child abuse disguised as something else

where are all those kids now? all emotionally damaged.

TheGuyFromHR:
Of course they don't take it seriously, why would they?
UKVI was playing around when it places a "20 hours during term time" warning on student visa stickers in their passports and on their BRPs.
Feel free to work as long as you like.

Equally volatile.......

It depends on the kind of shares.

Goodmorning House

I recently arrived in the UK on a dependant visa. Please what's the best risk free investment, with reasonable interest for an initial investment of £20k.

I checked the banks bonds and some bank investments, their rates are horrible.

Any advise pls?

20k seems too small for a riak free real estate investment coupled with the fact that have zero experience on that. Crypto is entirely out of my option.

Shares

That looks more like a Rickshaw to me

That's the way she wants to dress, what's the problem?

Nigeria has got more pressing issues.

It looks so real. Well done

Even electricians there are some that don't like to get their hands dirty, so they just concentrate on issuing electrical certificates . They don't even spend up to 20mins on the job and issue a certificate of £175, depending on the size of the property. The same with some plumbers the corgi registered ones. Someone else does the job and they issue a gas certificate. In the UK its illegal to place a tenant in a property without this things. You also have the ones that issue the EPC certificates.

There is a lot of money to be made in these professions and there is a skill shortage. Employers are paid to take on apprentices for theses trades.

wallg123:
I’m not sure where you heading with this but I can tell you that data is inaccurate as of today.
My sister in-laws is training to be a plumber, she earns over £45k and she only works Monday to Friday in London. Her dad (my father-in-law) is a gas and electrician by trade and he earns more than £90k . I only got to know this cuz I saw the tax documents.
As at 2016 HGV (7. Tonne) drivers working for IKEA/DHL were on £35K while those from agencies earned £15/£17 per hour. A class 1 HGV driver would earn more than a 7 tonne HGV driver. Likewise HGV drivers that drive those fuel tankers earn over £50k as at 2016. …

You can’t be a long distance driver for the fun of it. You have to love driving for you to enjoy it…

I only got a HGV license as my plan B in 2016 just in case I didn’t get an engineering job. I don’t use it anymore but at least I have an option.

Anybody that loves driving and can do manual handing should use the opportunity ( shortage of drivers in the UK) to train.

Same here, i see tax documents for plumbers of £150k net and more.
