r4blessing: Hi. I saw an old comment of yours where you spoke about choosing between job offers in London and Guernsey. I also see from your more recent comments that you're now in UK, so you must have taken the London offer. Congrats. May I ask why you didn't take the Guernsey offer? I am being poached by a recruiter for a very attractive offer in Guernsey. I'm doing research on that island and I'm undecided about moving there, lol. I'd like to know if something about the place put you off. Thanks in anticipation of your reply. |

Hello House, It's been a long time. I havent commented here for months. I hope you're all doing well. I'm back again because of this NIN application and passport renewal wahala in UK. I was told about this site https://iq-online.net/ to register for NIN. It supports UK, Ireland, Usa, Canada, Spain, switzerland. And is the site legitimate? Has anyone used them before? |

Is there any Nigerian foreign embassy that is actual professional and efficient, and not embarrassing itself and us? I've paid for my passport renewal since June 2020. I've tried multiple times to book. Yet up till now, the London High Commission has not given me a date for my biometrics. Outrageous behaviour.

Hi everyone. I need to renew my passport. I've registered, made my application and paid online. I didn't get any notification on how to book the London appointment for biometrics. And I cant find the info on the website. I know the High Commission hasn't opened yet, but is there something else I should do? 1 Like |

Tobexin: I checked their site, put in my details, they called me, gave me an unacceptable offer that I refused. So they switched me to another company. The other company took all my details, and gave me an even worse offer, which I rejected. Then they connected me to a 3rd company. The same thing happened again. I was on the phone for 45 minutes, was routed 4 times to 3 different companies. And none of them gave me a quote that was less than £1000. One even quoted £1700 SOmeone told me to try elephant, a cheap insurance company that operates under Admiral. I called them today and their offer is still above £1000. fatima04:I think USwitch uses Confused.com. The cheapest offer they offered as at Tuesday was above 900. But I just did it again with modified data and got one below £800. omopapa:Thanks. I'll just call Admiral and try to reduce their offer below £800. |

Tobexin: So many companies have notices on their websites saying covid has reduced their customer service team so we shouldn't call unless very necessary. But I'll call henceforth. Thanks. |

Hello house, I've come to discus car insurance. I did my first comprehensive Car Insurance last September with Admiral (Black Box). I paid a total of £1085 (over 10 months). I assumed annual mileage of 10000 miles, but so far I've driven just over 5000 miles. £500 voluntary excess. I used the blackbox until December when they asked me to send it back, which I did. Whle using the blackbox, Admiral sent me weekly emails grading my driving. I stated out very good but the last 2 months, I got poor ratings (mostly due to regularly driving just above the speed limit ). I didn't make any claims. I had one small minor accident with another car in december, but the driver and I agreed to handle it without involving insurance. This Admiral insurance expires in a few weeks. I was looking forward to paying between £400 - $600 as renewal. However, Admiral is now offering me £979 to renew. This is basically the same amount as last year, and I'm not going to pay this much to renew. I've tried getting quotes from comparison websites (USwitch, GoCOmpare, CompareTheMarket) and the lowest quote I'm getting is £800 from Marshmallow and £816 from RAC (using another Blackbox). I checked aviva's website, and they offered £980. I'm confused. Am I doing something wrong to be getting these high renewal quotes? Can someone recommend a cheaper car insurance that is not available on these comparison sites? |

spacyzuma: Update on my AMEX. The original credit limit was 8k. After about 6 months, it increased to 12k. Then it increased to 15k a week before the 1st full year of use. I've cancelled it cos I can't afford to pay £140 as fees in this covid19 economy. But I really enjoyed using the card. I gained so many points, which I used to get free stuff on amazon. 2 Likes |

I was preparing to go enter London to for Passport/NIN waka, but yesterday the High Commission announced they're closing because of the wuhan virus. Before the panic buying started, I already bought enough bottled water and tissue paper when I heard some Australians were doing it. I have been buying hand gel from amazon for years so I have enough. Over the past week, it's been amazing to see how empty of tissue some stores have been. . Even kitchen rolls and all sorts of wet wipes are out of stock. I can't find pasta in shops. I managed to get a pack of baked beans recently. No handwash liquid soap. Even some drugs are scarce. My friend near London drove to several pharmacies before he could find paracetamol. Thankfully, I have stocked up on paracetamol, vitamin C, multivitamins, and hay fever pills. I'm thankful I'm now driving and don't rely on public transport. Any day now, I'm expecting to be told to stay home and not come to the office. And I believe the situation is going to get worse over the next 1-4 weeks. All I can do is prepare, wait, and hope. 4 Likes |

wonlasewonimi: HAHAHA. There's integration and there's unnecessarily punishing my stomach with alien food. When I was doing a project in suffolk last year, I had no time or space to cook. And there was only so much fish/chips, pizza, chinese and cheesy stuff I could order. I made arrangements with a Nigerian woman at Ipswich to cook food for me. Every fortnight, I'd drive 3 hrs (to and fro) to collect my jollof rice, fried rice and gizdodo in large containers. WORTH IT!!! 3 Likes |
