Hello Guys! Is it possible to be granted CAS in Chester
University even if you missed the CAS deadline? Pls this is
urgent! Is there any hope or chance for me to obtain CAS in
Chester Uni after d stipulated CAS deadline date has passed
(due to late 28days countdown period)? I'm going to start my 28days countdown on 2nd August when my sponsor (parent) would receive sufficient funds but Chester University's CAS deadline is 24th August for my course. Pls has anyone
experienced this before in Chester or elsewhere

Let the university know about your situation, they are in the best position to answer you. Also, they might even be willing to be a bit flexible for you.

MY people good evening.

Please I need suggestions.
I am a Nurse in the NHS
currently on a long duration online Masters

I need ideas on other organizations I could fit into
The NHS is not giving me the much desired happiness and sense of satisfaction

Looking towards NON CLINICAL job roles where i could still get a Tier 2 sponsorship

I do not mind having to do some training just to fit in better

Ideas and suggestions would be appreciated

Hello! If you don’t mind, can you please give first hand experience of what you feel? I have a family member who is a nurse and just started the process to immigrate to the UK. Would be nice to hear the “dark side” of things in NHS.

TheGuyFromHR:


If I remember clearly, the only way to send money from a naira account outside the country as an individual is when the transaction is within the permitted categories - paying for tangible goods (imports) and services (medical bills, school fees/support), and repatriation of proceeds for multinationals, foreign portfolio investors and I think diplomats.

It's been a while since I was up to speed with all that, but I think that as an individual you can't receive foreign exchange at official rates for remittance outside Nigeria outside the permitted categories and will have to use the domiciliary account/informal process.

The rule has gotten relaxed and now there’s a wide range of categories bank would grant a transfer for. Read about it several weeks back - now you can get FX for a lot of so many other legitimate reasons. If I find the link again, I’d share it here.

Why not get someone here that will sell pounds to you and you give naira. Omopapa and mamatukwas are here. Speak to them.

Why would he choose to sell his naira on the black market though, when he seems to have an option that would give him official rate? Just saying…

Hello everyone, pls what is the best way to send money from a Nigerian naira bank account to a Uk pound account? My account officer mentioned something about international funds transfer but does not know the specific exchange rate until the transaction is done. Has anyone tried this or knows any method?

Any transfer processed by your bank would use a rate similar to that of CBN

Hello all. I’m just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation as we’re trying to find some more information about this. My wife who is a British citizen and also holds a Nigerian passport has now changed her name to her married name on her Nigerian passport. She has an indefinite leave visa which is still in her maiden name. Does anyone know if she needs to get the name on the visa changed before she can change the name on her British passport to her married name? She found information that she needed to change the name on her Nigerian passport first before the British one which is what we’ve done but we’re struggling to find anything about the indefinite leave visa. Thank you all for your help in advance.

Wetin concern British citizen with ILR? If she is already a citizen, the job of her previous ILR visa is done and that document is no longer relevant na.

KOVIC19COVID20:
Flying from London Heathrow to Abuja, Nigeria.

1. Pre -Departure PCR test (less than 72 hours): Check

2. Bags packed. Passports Ready. Chocolates purchased. Check.

Please, anyone with a very recent experience of travelling INTO Nigeria? Am I expected to book and pay for a PCR CoViD test in Nigeria before departure? If yes. How May I go about it please?
I seem to have lost my way trying to get the required information.
This is kinda urgent, please.

Yes. You won’t be allowed to board if you don’t have it. The guide on how to go about it is in the pop up you’ll see when you get on NCDC COVID-19 portal: https://covid19.ncdc.gov.ng/

Try to get this sorted as soon as possible, because there’s been several complaints that the online payment can take too long to reflect.

It’s a thing for some. It’s okay to have a different lived experience. The same way you think peeing in the open is not a thing is the same way others would see eating with fingers as barbaric. It’s all about life experiences - and they vary. I was only saying you all should cut the poor man some slack. Peeing in the open was commonplace growing up in Nigeria - maybe not all parts, but it’s not unheard of like your reactions to his post suggested. Besides, he only misses his old life, which is acceptable. He however should not attempt it in this day, age, and environment.

False equivalence.

Eating with your hands affects no one. It’s your personal business and shouldn’t be anybody’s headache. Peeing in public on the other hand affects others in several ways, and it causes actual consequences to the public and the environment.

Thank you. I actually found someone but he’s not in the UK. And the person that gave me his contact is a student here whom I don’t know that well. I’m looking for someone here because of trust issues. Just being careful if you understand. I also have a Dorm account in Nigeria but that still not possible as only account owner can deposit into it and transfer isn’t allowed.

Go to bank ATMs (bank ATMs because there are no fees) and use your dom ATM card to withdraw the amount you want. Simple and easy. You can also use your dom atm card to pay for things anywhere in the UK.

I've always wanted to ask this: I have never seen governors, senators or top individuals at the embassy doing biometrics. How do they go about it. Or are they exempted from biometrics? Please answer. Thanks

Cc justwise please help me with this question. Thanks

I’ve seen lil kesh before at Canadian embassy. He walked pass the crowd in the main hall, along with his team clearing the way, and was led to a separate room. He never came out until I left, so I suppose he still followed the regular queue, just in a VIP section or something.

I would imagine the same for other top people. However, a lot of top individuals already bought a second passport, so they mostly don’t have to apply for visas. Also, diplomatic passports for office holders, give visa-free privilege for many countries, many other countries also allow for online application or other VIP pecks like that for diplomatic passports.

Good afternoon everyone...I want to ask anyone that either recently travelled to England or knows someone that recently did....how did you submit the used kits for the Day 2/8 covid19 tests? I asked because new arrivals are meant to be in quarantine...I understand the used test kits are to be submitted to either post offices or authorized courier agents of the test companies... Thanks in advance

You drop them in the red priority boxes on the streets. All the instructions you need are included in the testing package.

Please; can someone live on 500 pounds monthly in the UK as a student?

If you're single and studying far from London, yes. I spend less than that. My rent is 350, and I spend around 80 pounds on groceries. I don't do any other major spending outside those two things.

The beauty about cryptos, you buy during the dip, hodl...... And sell when it rises.......

Keep repeating process, even sunak would be envious of you...... smiley

Yup! Bought crypto with all my cash savings when it dipped to 5k last year. Sold everything when it rose to 19k (my liver started cutting grin). It was like I did blood money when I cashed out grin grin grin. When the thing continued to rise, I was not tempted one bit to get back in, cos I know the fall is coming grin grin grin. I'm still watching it to fall further before I get back in - I'm looking at a bottom price of below 20k, but I will keep observing if it settles above that.

For us stock, etoro is very good......

Revolut, does not warehouse all US stock......

Stake, is also good for us stock. But funding stake (without premium level). It takes between 24/48 hours for funds reflecting....

With stake, if you use my referral code..... We both get a free share.... I love stake, because you just buy shares and warehouse, and watch them grow ..... wink https://hellostake.com/referral-program?referrer=oyedejij225

With etoro, once you fund your account, funds are available immediately to trade. You can also copy trades from experts...... wink

Thank you bros! I will use your referrer code if I settle with stake cheesy cheesy. One more thing, do these platforms function like real stock markets? For example, do you receive dividends periodically, etc? And what do you mean by warehousing shares on stake? It doesn't allow one to trade or what?

Black Americans used to teach tutorials for Tax refund fraud to others in their basement

Some of them were busted some years ago

Our own is to blow up scams we didn't start

There was a gift card scam invented by one drug addict guy on Quora, very sophisticated stuff

And to make matters more interesting... while indeed Nigerians do a lot of romance scams (fooling a random white woman/man with love), the "Nigerian Prince" scam that got us famous is in fact not done by Nigerians...most of that scam format came from westerners, who just taught it'd be cool to use the name of the prince of some "rich" African country to make money using the middle east format.

No real Nigerian would use the word "Nigerian Prince", cos we all know kings and princes are within village/town jurisdictions, not at National level. Which is not surprising, how every single "Nigerian Prince" scammer that has been caught till this date has turned out to be a white American.

Lol... the popularity of "Nigerian scam" is just classic stereotype fueled by racism. Nigeria makes up a very tiny percentage of the scamming "market". It's very unsophisticated too. While all what most "serious" Nigerian scammers do, is trying to deceive the next dumb gullible person, high school kids in the US are busy hacking twitter accounts of tech CEO just for "fun". Who can beat that?!!!

Abeg forget... In this scamming business, the west is till king, followed by China, then the rest of Asia, before we can now look at Africa/Nigeria.
