Greetings My Good People of Nairaland.

Please I need suggestions on an offer I have.

I am a Registered Nurse, hoping to relocate to UK. I have passed through all the steps and currently preparing to write my OSCE in the UK. I had to sponsor myself to UK for my OSCE exams.

So recently I got job offers from 2 NHS Trusts in UK after passing their job interviews. They are willing to give me COS for my Skilled Worker Visa Processing, but none is willing to make any financial commitment for my relocation.

THEY MADE IT CLEAR THEY DO NOT OFFER ANY RELOCATION PACKAGE.

This means I have to;

Pay the Skilled Worker Visa Fees myself
Pay NHS Surcharge myself
Pay for flight
Pay for my TB tests myself
And even cater for my accomodation on arrival.

The cost runs into millions of naira, which I do not have.

My questions;

1. Does anyone thing the offer is worth it, and should I accept it considering how difficult it is getting NHS offers now?

2. If I decide to go through Health and Care Worker Visa Route, the visa processing fees will be cheaper than Skilled Worker, but is it advisable?

3. Is it advisable to take a loan and invest in the relocation plans, since I have an offer already?


Every suggested will be appreciated.

You Drink Garri And Use It For Food Purposes But Did You Know In 1944, Selling Garri Was illegal In Nigeria?

The British colonial Government made it illegal for anyone to sell Garri privately, Garri became "Government treasure”
This actually happened during the era of the second World War. As we know the British were suffering at he hand of Germans and they were desperate to win the War, they needed money and resources so they pulled as many as they could get from their colonies, including Nigeria.
They built harbours, roads, Airfields, hospitals, anything to make their exploitation easier. Thousand of Nigerian Men were recruited into the Army to fight in the second World. Even at that, they still needed more, They imposed some monetary policies and they rationed food so they could have enough to export for their wars. The government was in charge of food distribution and people would have to queue for days to buy Garri.
They wanted to tax market women. Then we had Alimotu Pelewura, a Nigerian woman led a protest to curb this action. British Government were like "British women pay tax, why should Nigerian women be any different" and Pelewura replied " All of Nigeria's wealth was being taken to Britain hence the British women could pay tax because they were Rich". She organized the market and told them to boycott sales of Garri to the Govt. This made the Govt and the security agents "declared war"

The Government started arresting those who sold Garri privately but NIGERIANS are very resourceful so the Fa-ya-wo got involved (Fa-ya-wo is what the Yorubas call Smugglers). The Fa-ya-wo would crawl on their bellys(hence their name) to steal Garri from government stores
And sell in private. Garri had it own black market. 😳
The govt found it very hard to solve this problem, they tried to bribe Halimatu Pelewura to come to their side but she didn't sell her conscience.
So when next you see garri, show some respect oo

I know we are too neck deep into this to try to tap out at this time, but if there's a referee, we can reduce the exposure.

I am worried that my TV has a camera and a microphone and I don't know where they're located. Meaning that whatever is happening in my living room can be recorded by a third party I don't know of.

For some people, their microwave, refrigerator even blender are spying on them but they don't know.

Imagine such nansense.

I sent the company an email, and they're telling me that the camera is for video calling purposes. I told them I ain't doin no nansense video calling.

How can TV I should be watching, be watching me also.

I spoke to a friend who is more knowledgeable in stuff like this. He told me that most TV cameras are located in the middle-top section of the TV and that I can disable the camera module from the settings menu or physically locate it and cover it up with tape , same way we cover the webcam of the laptop.

Back to the phone, I've been advised to open the Settings app , go to “Security and Privacy” and then select “Privacy.” Look for the “Permission Manager” option and tap on it. Find and click on “Microphone.” Review the list of apps that have microphone access and decide which ones you want to restrict.

Some apps you downloaded have not been used since this year, of what use are they to you. Uninstall them, some of them are monitoring spirits for bigger tech demons.

Below is a survey done by the European Union (EU) home office and while gathering the Black/African race survey question, Yoruba is being spelled out.

What could be the reason for this? Could it be due to the number of Yorubas in EU countries or Yoruba people are so famous to act as the anchor for the Black race?

It's so sad that majority that called themselves Christians are nothing but hypocrite, religious bigots and people filled with ignoramus mind. It's so sad how we Christians celebrate and rejoice at the death of many in Palestine. Some even quoted bible to back up their acerbic celebration. The bible is holy and will never condemn the killing of another, let alone the killing of innocent children and women. We all condemned Russia invasion of Ukraine, we back US for helping Ukraine defend themselves but we same lot are the ones rejoicing over the killing of innocent Palestine. Sad sad sad. Yes we condemned the heinous acts carried out by the Hamas militants but the question is does everyone living in Palestine members of the Hamas group. This humanitarian crisis has to stop. This genocide has to stop. For those quoting me, I'm a senior Apostle of the Christ Apostolic church

SOSinNigeria:
Rubbish. Actions have consequences. You voted for a condemned criminal because of tribalism. After seeing the damage you caused, you're here shamelessly talking garbage?

Spit!

Something funny is happening in Kogi state. This state has three major ethnic groups i.e. Ebiras, Igalas and Okuns (Yorubas). But sadly, since the creation of the state, only the Igalas and Ebiras have been ruling back to back. No Okun/Yoruba has ever ruled Kogi state since its creation.

In Delta State, there are three major ethnic groups i.e. Urhobos, Anioma/Igbos and Itshekiri. All of them have ruled accordingly. In Rivers State, both the Igboid upland areas and the Ijoid riverine areas have ruled.

So, why is Kogi state different? Even Dino Melaye, an Okun man who contested under PDP was disgraced. A major opposition party like PDP performed so woefully that ordinary SDP candidate almost won against APC.

SDP candidate was Igala.
APC candidate was Ebira.
PDP candidate was Okun/Yoruba.

Yet the contest was between SDP Igala and APC Ebira. Why are the Okuns maltreated in Kogi state?

Thank you. This is good to know

I always laugh at folks trying to end tribalism or hiding under the usual “Politician are dividing us” jargons to blame Nigeria issue on politicians.

All tribes are tribalistic. Both minority and majority, but the problem is that those that are somehow independent of another tend to be bold in showing their own tribalism.

Those that are dependent are always scared of showing their tribalism which explained why some tribe will say they are less tribalistic and some are more tribalistic. There is nothing called less or more tribalistic, you can either be tribalistic or not.

If we divide Nigeria today into major tribes and let’s say we have 10 countries for example. People within those tribe will then fragment themselves into clans and the struggle of clannish continue. Check state governorship election, it’s always a game of clans within a tribe.

You can only have peace if you divide Nigeria totally by clans. Then at that stage, you’re looking at 5k individual states.

However, dividing Nigeria into major zones with tribal realignment to their zone will help a bit. At least we will have the clan problem which will be at a lesser impact compared to tribe issue.

Because he gave in to her nagging , I swear to almighty Allah, I will never fall for such . See! I will state clearly that their father should be responsible for such and anything from me should be considered as gift . Meslf know I get choco oo Aswear , I’m a kind of person that can even say it in her parent’s presence. The sweetest thing is coming to stay for a week and I spoil you till you go but if e don Dey reach my school fees story , wetin concern me . Even if I have a brother ( younger one from my parent ni oo) he can’t ask me for school fees and I trust my pman and mum sef , dem no ft allow am. My sibilings are doing good and there was a time government was paying half salary to civil servants ( my parents are civil servant ) , bro! My mum never for once mentioned it I should call any of my sibilings money for the smallest thing . My papa go even tell you he/she( my sibilings ) go get Wetin e wan do with his or her own money. I go drink garri for skul laidis and I get sibilings wey I ft call oo. Na only if any of them call me and mistakenly ask Wetin dey sup and I tell am den I know dat month na big boy I go do b dat 😁😁. Self respect ni koko

abimbola74:
They are trying to avoid some billings ni oo. Definitely he will be ur sibilings second father which literally means his responsibility has increased stylishly though for man that’s responsible niyen if not e no go look their side . I got married to a first born myself , I’m the last born of my family so I take them like the junior brother and sisters I never had so it’s easier for me that way since I have the mentality I now have junior ones .Even though thier mom or dad never like them asking me for anything. Like d mum Dey always call me if I send dem money self that why am I disturbing myself. Once they see your sibilings like his ( one big family ) being a first born won’t chase dem alway. Most girls too don’t like getting married to a first born man cos they feel so much responsibilities on him. Na stupidity shaa to me cos being a first born , while in school I never ask any of my sisters husband 100naira reacharge card sef even though black man go drink garri tire that year 😂😂😂😂. Contentment ni koko shaa cos we ain’t brought up that way.

Leadership skills you say, he'd need that too when building his own home.. so what's the difference??

thomasjoe:
If someone else did it , so it should continue and be the reference right ?

FYI GEJ rejected the Yatch idea back then even at a time the county wasn't going through such tough times like we are currently .

We need to elevate our thinking beyond using past errors to justify present ones ...until we do that , we will continue to feed the vicious cycle of bad leadership

Pls ignore that guy, he is an ethnic jingoist. He has no real sense of reasoning
