Desperate times, my friend.

Tissue paper of all things.

Well, working in health sector, we have to go to work amidst the lockdown.

Anyways, I show my ID if stopped to prove I'm in essential services.

I wear a half face ski mask when going to the store to shop for basic items , I shower with detol soap as it offers 24hrs protection and it's active ingredient is anti viral. Working in the Frontline you have to protect yourself anyhow.

I wash my hands like 20 times a day at work and sanitise afterwards.

Upon entering the hospital they check your vitals and log it in a book. They monitor you especially temperature wveryday in the event you show symptoms you are isolated and the coronavirus hotline is called.

Our admissions have been reduced, visitors have been banned and patients have been educated on what to expect after their discharge into the real world.

So far, we have witnessed no incidences and God will make it remain that way until this all blows over.

Same here,
the last part of your moniker, were u there at some point ?

Mstick:
Please I have created a topic about this and I don't know why the mods refused to bring it to front page despite my plea.

I paid for international passports for my family and I since last year in Rivers State, and till today we've not gotten it.

We're being told no booklets, apparently Rivers State immigration printed passports for the public last in June 2019.


We were told to bring extra 15k per passport to "sort" the PCO, initially I refused because the money I spent for the express was A LOT!

But along the line I had to pay because of my child's failing health.


I want to beg any Nigerian that can help me, please, please, please, it's long over due. It's been 6 MONTHS now.


Mr Rauf Aregbesola, sir please help me.

I went down to immigration office last week, I was told no old booklets and if I want I can apply for the new booklets, that means I've to forfeit the 240,000 naira I've already paid and pay another money.


I am pleading! This is not the way it was.


Rivers State immigration has caused me and my family so much pain. I don't even want to talk about.


Somebody PLEASE HELP ME.

This is not right, if this story is true. Please log into Twitter, twit at EFCC, Nigerian Senate, Abike Dabiri, SERAP, copy Segaling. Farooq kperogi, Kayode Ogundamisi. One of those listed would pick up and direct or make suggestions.
Apologies OP for derailing a bit.

Now I am expecting support email from First bank, nmcn, namn, Johesu, Lagbus. Leadway insurance, Total filing station, cakes and cream. Bet9ja. First Registrar. etc.
CC Justwise, Lalasticlala.

Lolz.

Panic can bring out the worst in people. That is why I believe the governments all over the world are managing information very well because if they tell us all that they know in relation to Covid 19, There will be more panic, then chaos, leading to anarchy.

Soknown, ur writing skills are exceptional. Well, how is the Corona virus affecting your work? Sed u r going to Brighton beach. What about social distancing? Don't think this is the right time.

Thank you for the commendation, this is being written in retrospect. The beach event was in December 2018.
Covid 19-wise, work routine remains the same, just extra layers of precautionary measures and stricter compliance with PPE usage and hand hygiene. How are you coping too?

In case you're wondering, what an amala inspired farewell means, it's simply 180° co levitation bi -parallel disposition of the human frame as evidenced by your chest touching the floor.
I know, I know it's too early for this.

I prostrated flatly to apologise for my inability to come before now, she did understand the reason, then the merriment began in earnest. I was treated to a hot tea first then came the hot amala with an evergreen ewedu and pepper sauce assorted with Shaki, roundabout, Titus and good ol chicken. For a person that has been eating only bread and noodles for about two weeks, the meal presentation and content was like hitting a jackpot, I was eating and sweating on me forehead. After the sumptuous meal, we sat down to discuss professional practice in UK, life back home and family members. We had so much to catch up with that I did not realise that time was up for me to catch my return trip. She hurried to pack some food materials from her freezer and I bade an amala inspired farewell. I scurried on the street back to the station, went straight to the platform. My return trip was routed through white hart lane - Seven sisters - London Victoria - Redhill. At Seven sisters I made my first Tube experience. I descended the long stairs using the escalator. I marveled at how streets and rail tracks could be hidden beneath the ground, I marveled at the speed of the tube and the fact that there was no driver attached.
I got down at London Victoria and made the many flights of stairs. London Victoria was another level of rail station, like an airport terminal. I have to find my train on the screen, I needed the train going to Brighton, found it but no platform attached so I approached the personnel on one of the platform, he said the platform would come up in few minutes and it did. I got home late in the evening, my housemate was waiting for me, i regaled him with a beautiful account of my trip not knowing that he had news for me too. He and some of his friends have planned a trip to the Brighton beach the following day, he wanted to know if I could come with them, I answered in affirmation. I used the toilet, hunkered under the duvet to a deep sleep afterwards
....

My ward is an acute medical ward that is different from other units/ward because of its lay out. Other units usually have 3 or 4 big open bays with 1 or 2 side wards. But my ward has 11 side rooms and 1 big open ward containing 9 beds. Each bed in the open bay is separated by a ceiling suspended partition screen/curtain. I have to learn the unit-specific routines quickly so that I can progress from being a supernumerary nurse to a substantive nurse. I was working under the watchful eyes of my mentor. I worked for three consecutive days and had 4 days off.
Oh my goodness, my days off was planned. First day, I was too tired to do anything, stayed indoors all through except for the moment I went to Sainsbury to get mushrooms and shrimps for my noodles. In the evening, I called my Aunt in Tottenham if I could visit the next day. She has been calling me to visit her since i came in September but i told her, i need to finish up with my OSCE before any visitation. She was surprised, she had thought that I will never visit her. She was so happy, she wanted to cancel her night shift for the following day thinking that I will spend the night. I told her she should not. I told her to send the post code and street number to me.
Then I downloaded train line app on play store, bought my ticket. I got a reference number which I will use to collect my train tickets at the station.
I woke up very early the next day to attend my hygiene. I was at the station at 0820hr. There are two ticket vending machines for quick and self service but because I didn't know how the machines work, i had to join the queue for counter collection, 5 minutes later I have two sets of tickets, one set for the forward journey and the other for the return journey. The train, Great Western train arrived on time. I have checked the screen earlier to know the platform to board. My trip was routed through Redhill -London bridge - London Liverpool - Seven Sisters and finally White hart lane. I got to London Liverpool on time but I made a mistake with the platform so I missed the train but train comes every 15 minutes.
My Aunt offered to pick me up at the white hart lane station but I declined, I wanted to use Google. She said the neiborhood around the station is a very tough and rough area.
As I came out of the white hart lane station, a group of young boys, obviously drunk accosted me- hoi hoi mate. I just picked up on me foot steps towards the stadium. The white hart lane stadium is a very imposing figure in the neighbourhood, the colour, the size, the design all stand out beautifully. Google did not disappoint me, I found myself in Edmonton so soon to a warm embrace of my aunt and her two children.

Ok, I am back. Thanks ya'll for the understanding.
Let's rock n roll.

50 years + Oxford dictionary. The advanced learners dictionary of current English. Ninth impression, 1968.
I'll donate it to a museum or a reputable library later.

I felt like sharing this also, my brother contacted me not long ago that there is an agent procuring, (i don't want to use the word arranging) UK Visa for #1.5m. I shouted on phone, seeing that he was keen on it and had tried severally to discourage him from such ventures. I told him to go ahead and raise the money but to be safe he should let me be the one to interface with the agent in question. I hope he is able to raise it and transfer same amount to me. The money is not going to any agent, #1.5m that is like £4k, I need free money too, then I will tell him what that amount could accomplish.
There are so many charlatans out there cashing in on people's desperation to travel.

horlajay:
To think you came here to seek for opinion before you paid, yet you did pay. I don't do this often but YOU'RE A MUMU MAN!!
To be honest, I don't feel for you.

Unm, Let's pity him.The egg is broken yet he has no omelette.
Anyways, these are my advice to him.
1. I hope he has retrieved his passport.
2. Use the bank details and phone number to track him down.
3. Get a private CI to monitor the wife, she will lead you to him. How do you get a CI in Nigeria ?. Well police force still has some good heads that work privately in their spare time.
4. Get all the documents that linked you together.
4. Sit down on a calm day and reflect on your actions, write them down. And before you take any major action in the future, read what you have written down.
I hope he rise above this.
NB - If I want a deal with you and you introduced yourself as Pastor, I will talk with me legs, even if you are about to sell a life saving drug to me.

Petyprincess:
On December 4, 2019 he was arrested by ICE for an expired visa.

But you said he never committed any crime? Didn't you know staying in a foreign country when your visa has expired is a crime? He will definitely be deported nd banned from that country! Seems you dnt know sane countries are strict with their immigration rules!

Visa rule violation is a major crime just like tax evasion. I know of some blokes in school on student Visa, that are allowed to work certain hours per week. If they work more than the permitted hours, it becomes problems later. If you are not caught today, you could be caught tomorrow, next month, next year or even ten years. An individual may forget but the system never forget.

“Insecurity, economy in a coma, a leadership in name only, having vanished into ether, permanently AWOL in a time of serial crisis. No wonder mimic and debased forms of leadership assertiveness rush in to fill the vacuum! The latest in the stakes of such power appropriation makes one wonder which is the more reactionary order: the so-called feudal institution, or the self-vaunting modernised governance whose apex can bring the feudal to heel quite arbitrarily, without check and without seeming consequence. To rub pepper in the wound, the protagonist of that “progressive” order enjoys near-absolute immunity, thus, even when it has disgraced its status and violated its oath of office, caught literally with its pants down in open defecation, it can still pretend to act in the interest of progress, modernity and public well being. Such are the ironies raised by the purported dethronement of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, with one stroke of a pen!,’’ he said.[/quote]Rhythmic and lyrical. Language is beautiful.

Other Countries are fumigating against Corona Virus, Nigeria is fumigating against Lassa Fever.
What a misplaced priority

After the Wuhan's index case, Covid 19 has no known animate reservoir/vector that you can fumigate aside humans. Transmission has been from man - man.
Were rats to be carrying Covid 19. Then IT IS FINISHED as Master Jesus said.

kendrick9:
I'm pretty sure there are Nigerians who have this virus walking freely...
They may have the symptoms but they would be treating as a Normal fever due to ignorance.....

In general, estimates suggest that 2% of the population are healthy carriers of a CoV and that these viruses are responsible for about 5% to 10% of acute respiratory infections.[3]

ednut1:
lame and dumb . Corona is not part of visa assessment by the officer

I was discussing with a friend that wants to apply for a UK transit Visa but was concerned about Corona virus requirements. I told him that UK has no such Visa restriction concerns. Once you have value addition reason to go into those countries and you pass the standard requirements, you will obtain the Visa.
However, with the pattern of growth and spread of this virus, there may be a blanket ban soon. US has sparked this off with a travel ban on schengen citizens.

Daltgal:
Continue please

Lolz, I will continue. Thanks. Just got caught up in a web of activities which should clear very soon. Bear with me.

The third day after OSCE, we resumed in our different clinical units. I was recruited for an acute medical unit. I turned up at the main reception as advised by our instructors and one of them led me to my ward. My unit is located at the extreme end of the hospital. I was introduced to my unit manager, ( band 7) a very young nurse in her late 20's. She welcomed me into the unit and introduced me to the other colleagues.
On duty that day was a nurse in charge another young nurse in her 30's, 3 band 5 nurses and 4 healthcare assistance. The hierarchy on the ward is, there is the Matron, and Band 8a that oversees about four wards, reporting to the Matron is the ward Manager, a band 7. There are two band 6 nurses reporting to the manager and about 7 band 5 nurses reporting to the band 6. Lastly but not the least are the HCAs. The band 6 are usually the nurse in charge of the shift. The manager handed me to the nurse in charge who was on her way to a multidisciplinary team meeting, She just grabbed my hand and said would you come with me to this meeting and we would discuss after that. We walked along the ward's hallway to the meeting room, the consultants, junior doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, the ward clerk were all seated. There was only one seat left, which was for her, she signaled for me to sit on it, she was going to stand when one of the physiotherapist went outside to bring in another chair. She introduced me to the meeting but that did not help to calm my nerves. I sat down staring blankly into the report being read, it was written in English but i could barely understand it because there were so many jargon and abbreviations. I endured the meeting till the end.
The ward is an acute medical unit, though it was meant for rheumatology. The ward consists of 11 side rooms and a big bay containing 9 beds.
She later sat down with me after introducing me to the physical lay out of the ward, She opened her the ward computer to show some documents and print out some procedures and policies. While doing this, the manager came round to drop more documents for to sign. one of the documents was for a change in status from a band 3 to band 5 status.
It was time for the morning break, the nurse in charge told me to go for my tea break in the staff room. There are 3 breaks spread across the 12 hour shift, 15 minutes tea break in the morning, 1 hour lunch break, and lastly another 15 minutes break in the evening. After the first break i worked with a HCA to understand the flow of their work. After the lunch break i was handed over to a nurse who was to become my mentor. ...

Preparation for OSCE wasn't all boring, laboured with repetitive actions, we tried to catch fun once in a while. Like 2018 Halloween, we went a-partying in spooky costumes. I was dressed as a spooky surgeon. We went to two different clubs in one night. I remembered that the Halloween coincided with the day light saving time. When we came back in the night the clock has gone backwards by one hour. I still can not wrap my head around that phenomenon. We partied in Horley and went to Crawley to sleep. Left for Redhill the following morning.
Then in November, we had the black Friday sales, oh my goodness, we binge bought a lot of goods both in shops and online, aliexpress, next, Amazon, Ebay. Shoe zone. It was a one day madness.

DisGuy:
Hi Soknown. Apologies for that.

Do you get banned after posting somethngor just randomly before posting?

The first ban was after I posted on my thread. The other two were random.

Someone should help me out here. I have been banned like three times by anti spam bot, no reason was stated for the bans. Is there anything that i am doing wrongly ?
Thanks.

Apologies for the late update, I moved house. I'll get to it later on.

The days rolled onto weeks and before we knew it we were in the middle of October. Then we were looking forward to two big events, October pay day and our OSCE day confirmation. We were not paid for September because we resumed after salary has been computed. This usually happen between 15 and 17th of each month. It involves various departments-The unit manager, workforce, payroll and hmrc.
Unit managers will calculate the shifts, workforce will translate the number of hours done to money using the pay rate, then sent it to the pay roll company. Pay roll company will work with hmrc to determine tax deductions. hmrc will also look into the number of hours worked, to check if one has worked more than the required hours. For most international nurses, the regular hours or contractual hours are 37.5 or 40 hours/week. With a Visa restriction that you cannot work more than 20 - 22 hours above the contractual hours. It was said there is usually 40% tax on any hours done above the restricted hours.
Earlier on, I had gotten leave to go to the Post office in Crawley for my Biometric Resident Permit otherwise called BRP card, that's the official staying document. That morning, I got on the Bus 100 going to Crawley high street with my friend that we flew into UK together. We made a mistake of boarding Bus 100, this bus line operates like a Molue, it stops at every Bus stop and plied all the inner streets of Redhill, Horley and Crawley Business district before finally dropping us off on Crawley high street. It took 60 minutes while other Bus lines like Bus 400, 420 and 460 usually make the journey in less than 30 minutes. When we dropped on the high street, I told myself not to use Bus 100 ever again.

The Post Office is adjacent to the high street, we walked in to join a long queue, a regular feature in UK public spaces, you will queue up to buy burger, queue to pay or use the atm. It's called orderliness. It got to my turn to be attended, I informed the official about my mission, she asked for my name and checked her record before confirming that the card is available for my collection then she asked for my post code and I blanked out. I have never taken time to ask or learn about my post code, I asked my friend, she didn't have a clue either, so i called another person within the Redhill 5. She told me and i was able to complete the collection from. Obviously the post code is more important than the physical address. 30 minutes later, we walked out of the Post Office with our new BRP. Just beside the Post Office is a bank, we decided to use the opportunity to open an account, SASH has given us an introduction for the same purpose which we carried around but have not had the opportunity to visit a bank, anyways with a lot of forms filled, several terms and conditions read and signed off. We got a new bank account, expectant of the big pay day.

The weeks kept rolling, we were becoming confident in the procedures and mistakes kept reducing. We got a date for our OSCE examination finally, Mid November. We got two days because we were 14 in the cohort, 7 candidates on 14th and the rest on15th. I was slated for 15th November. We were given our train tickets to Oxford Brookes University Campus in Swindon. There were 3 Universities approved by the NMC to conduct OSCE for international nurses, Brighton University, Oxford and i think Nottingham Universities. We booked our hotel reservations by ourselves.

The big day came finally, the big pay day. 29th November. Our trust pay monthly salary and weekly pay for bank shifts. Some of us were short changed because they got far less money than others, all because wrong tax code was used by the pay roll company and hmrc carved out a large chunk of their salary as tax. They lodged complaints with workforce, who escalated same to the payroll company. They promised to refund the excess deductions in the next month salary and also change the tax code to the right one. We were broke before and after the pay day. We did not spend much because of the forthcoming examination, no one have the time to shop. We must pass the examination or we would be responsible for the resit, about £970. Before the recent review, if one fails an aspect of the examination, he/she has to register and resit the whole examination. We were also saving money for two things, the Black Friday sales and our first house rent.
November crept in unnoticed, we were still perfecting our skills. The first group having their examination on 14th November travelled to Swindon, on 13th. 13th was work free for all. I travelled with my group on 14th. We took a train from Redhill to London Bridge, then another one to Reading and finally Swindon. We got to our hotel in the evening, checked in and hungry. The hotel menu was very expensive, dinner was £28.I went to the university to check it out on my way coming back I got KFC big bucket for £4, made tea in the room and dinner was set.
I went to bed very early, wanted to wake early and revise my books. I woke up but too tired to absorb anything, I went back to sleep. I woke up and attended to my hygiene. 0730hr I was ready to go out.
I got to the centre, registered and waited to be called for certificate verification, then I remembered my wife and rendered some prayers for her because she did something that saved me from embarrassment. I did a bit of house keeping before I left Nigeria. I gathered all invalid documents, invoices, papers and crushed them, I packed them in a container with an instruction for my wife to burn them after I have left.
Two weeks to OSCE, our instructors asked us to put our documents together, to be sure we have everything. We were told we need all the original documents submitted to the NMC for application. In my case I used two police character certificate, I obtained the first one around January when I started the application with NMC, but because my application took some time. The police character reference expired before I could apply for my Visa. So I needed a new character certificate for my Visa, I had no qualms getting into Alagbon close to get another one. So while tidying up, I crushed the expired police report with other documents to be burnt because it was expired and no longer useful in my own judgement. So when the instructor mentioned the original documents, I slouched on my chair in desperation knowing i have shot myself in the leg. I sneaked out of the class to make that call to my wife, she picked up, and I asked if she has burnt those documents, to my utmost surprise and admiration, she said , she had thought I might need them again, so she has straightened them and put them in a file. I jumped up in excitement. I told her, her actions have saved me from troubles. She sent the documents through DHL the following day, I got them same week. My wife rock, I love my woman.

I presented the documents for verification, the NMC official was very jovial. After documents clearance. I was issued an identification, then went to the final wait up area. Waiting to be called for the examination.
The examination itself is rhythmic, mimicking patient flow in a hospital and nursing care plan. I was called in, introduced to the examination area, offered a cup shown where the water jug was.
I went through the process with confidence knowing I have done enough preparation. It was over in about 1 hour 45 minutes. I thanked the examiner. Did final handwashing and collected my belongings. I went back to check out of the hotel.
I got back home through Reading, Clapham junction in London, finally Redhill. Then the waiting game started, ideally we should have the result after 24 hours, I was checking my email every hour, inbox, junk mail, spam folders every hour. The following day after the OSCE was work free to allow is to rest from the journey.
In the evening of the second day, results started coming out, mine took 48 hours. Some had resit and had to book for the examination using their money and they all passed the resit. We paid for the pin and by first week in December, each person has a pin. So OSCE was a wrap.

I am back from spambot ban. It pained me that the write up that I posted before the ban disappeared. I will try to rewrite it tomorrow. Life goes on.

During last week I had taken time off to go to the post office to collect my Biometric Resident permit, which is the official staying document. On this day I got on the Bus 100 going to Crawley high street in the company of my friend that we flew into UK together. I discovered that this particular Bus stopped at every Bus stop and plied all the inner streets of Horley, Gatwick and then Crawley Business district. The commute should take 20 minutes by taxi or 28 minutes by other Bus lines like 420, 400 and 460 but for Bus 100 it took a whole 60 minutes. I ' tagged the Bus 100 a never again Bus'.
Eventually we got to the Crawley high street and the beautiful shops and Malls. The Post Office was adjacent to the Bus Stop. There is always queue everywhere in this country, So we joined. The attendant official asked for my letter which I presented, she also asked for my post code. Goodness me, I didn't know. I asked my colleague, she had no clue, I put a call through some of our colleagues and finally we got the post code for our house. Another lesson learnt, never forget your post code, it is important than the physical address. She checked her record, confirmed the card was available for collection. 10 minutes later we walked out of the Post office with our cards. We also used the opportunity to open bank account, the trust has given us letters for same purpose. A lot of forms to fill, but we got it done.

The days rolled into weeks, we were in Mid October already. We were looking up to two events, our OSCE and secondly our pay day. We were not paid in September because we arrived after the salary has been computed. That usually happens between 15 and 17th of each month. After computation, it will be sent to the payroll company which work hand in hand with hmrc ie. Her Majesty revenue and customs for tax deductions. Obviously a lot goes into salary payment. Preparing it based on number of hours worked, tax leave allowance, how many hours worked above the mandated hours. For international nurses on pbs tier 2 Visa, you can only work 22 hours above the regular hours.

Third week into October, we had a date for our examination at last. November 14 and 15. Everything was falling in place. We started having weekly mocks to really get in the mood so on Friday everyone usually go home with red eyes, we kept pushing ourselves and the mistakes were disappearing little by little.
29th October was a big day, big pay day. We got the alerts, September and October were paid together. But there was a mix up with some of my colleagues pay as they got far less than others, Obviously the pay roll company used wrong tax code and a large chunk of their salary was carved off as tax. They complained to workforce and their concerns were escalated to the pay roll with promise that it will be resolved before next pay and over deductions would be remitted back.We were broke before the salary, salary was paid and we remained broke. We could not touch the money because of the forthcoming examination. We reckoned if one fails, he/she has to pay about £1000 for the resit, though the fee was brought down to half before we sat for the exam.

12th of November, we were given our train ticket to the examination location, we were responsible for our hotels reservation which we have booked ahead. 13th was work free for everyone, the first batch of the cohort having their examination on 14th travelled to Oxford Brookes university one of the three centers, the other two centres were Nottingham and Brighton universities.
My examination was on 15th so I travelled on 14th. I walked to the university in the evening just to be sure of the distance. Dinner at the hotel was £28 so I declined, bought McDonald's fish burger and made tea in the hotel.

That fateful day, the 14th November. I was up early, attended my hygiene. Made a cup of tea. I got to the examination centre and got registered. Followed by documents verification by NMC officials. Prior to this time I made a very big mistake that could caused me a lot. When I was still in Nigeria processing my application with MMC, I got a police character certificate as far back as February. Not knowing that it usually expire after six month, so when I wanted to apply for my Visa, I was informed that I need a new police character certificate which I obtained again. When I was about to travel, I did a bit of house cleaning, I crushed the old police character certificate with other documents, invoices and receipts that are no longer valid. I told my wife to burn them after I have travelled.
Two weeks to the examination, our instructor was going through our certificates and she mentioned, we have to show or submit the original documents used for the NMC application even if the documents have expired or become invalid, I nearly collapsed. I slouched into my seat thinking what would I do. Anyway I sneaked out to make that call. My wife picked up, I asked when did she burnt the documents I asked to be burnt, to my utter amazement and admiration, she said 'I thought you might need them later so i did not burn them' .she had straightened the crushed documents and file them. I jumped up with joy. I told her the reason for asking for the documents. The following day, the blessed woman sent the documents through DHL, It got to me same week. I love my woman.
I finished up with document verification, then waiting to be called in for the examination. The examination is rhythmic in itself mimicking patient flow in the hospital. It took about 90 - 100 minutes and it was a wrap. I got out of the hall, did the final handwashing, collected my valuables. I went straight to the hotel.
