Thank you. It really beggars belief.

Let's not forget that asylum accommodation tends to be of lower quality and in cheaper areas - very very unlikely to be London or even south east England. Asylum seekers cannot choose where they are put up and they can be moved by the home office at any time to a new part of the country where they don't know anyone. Even if the children have to change schools, you're on your own.

Many times it's shared accommodation such as hostels or a bed and breakfast. Many even have to share rooms with strangers. And this luxury is only while their application is being considered; as soon as it's decided on - accepted or refused - the claimants have to leave the asylum accommodation.

It was decades ago that ppl got more lush accomodations especially those with large families.

For under the table work I think those who have Asian families in the UK can probably still get good jobs that pay is decent. If a good number of their family members own their own businesses then that's easier for them not to be detected. My opinion though

Any tips on get passport picture to meet ICAO standard
I'm doing application for a relative and I'm still getting head tilt error.

I don tire.
The relative is elderly so trying to get them to go to a studio to do this is kinda hard besides it doesn't guarantee I won't have the same issue so I want to work with the photo I have

I became lactose intolerant sometimes around 2014, with plenty of symptoms until I found out my constant diarrhoea was my inability to produce lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk. Though challenging, I was able to take dairy products out of my diet since then and I have been fairing pretty ok. Though I loose body weight from time to time due to my sensitive intestine. My handy medicine for quick relieve from bloating, diarrhoea etc are amoxyl, doxycycline and omeprazole.
Over the years I stopped taking alcohol and any herbal medicine due to the sensitivity of my gastrointestinal system.

Even soda drinks too need to be stopped. I find warm or room temperature water before you sleep and first thing on the morning is helpful habit

I dont do milk too, almond milk is fair but I'm not regular with milk. My gut likes it that way.
Okro for some reason is very calm on the gut

You mightt need to consider growing your own food....or find organic food market in Lagos. Opefarms are on Instagram. Strictly organic.

And learning how to cook that way you can control cross contamination. Limit eating out.
Diversify your carbs to help your diet.

No processed foods
But try
Irish potatoes
Green plantains or simply boli with oji or fish
Sweet potato boiled or as flour
Cassava boiled or as flour
You can bake with sweet potato flour.
Other things such as banana bread or Sweet potato bread can be cake for you.

Lots of veggies too. Garden eggs, egg plant.
Try beans in different ways. Beans and sweet potato. Also quinoa is good then chickpeas. Find them in Indian shops it's last long and swells up quickly.

Are you sensitive to corn as well?

I have mild gluten sensitivity so I've tried these above and it's helped a lot.

Although I occasionally eat bread it's like once every 3months if there is no other option.
Millet too is good you might need to Chek for crosscontamination with wheat.
I drink a lot more warm water a
I find the commercial wheat has the biggest issue.
Especially because they use fast rising yeast.

I can tolerate wholemeal wheat better. If I toast whole-wheat it's even better.

But I gave up semo altogether.
I still eat pasta but I rinse put the starch like twice before I eat it.
I take beans just once every two months cos it causes gastrointestinal issues.

Other things to add to diet.

I also introduced foods with pre and probiotics.
I no longer take omeprazole.
I drink water with slices of ginger in it. Fresh please. Also chewing ginger raw has helped with gastrointestinal inflammation

The Japanese have this thing called Kimchi. Fantastic for the gut.
Kambucha is also good.

Finally sugar is inflammatory too.

the Same Problem I'm Facing Now Me and My Wife And Daughter and That hitches mostly Happened It The Midle Of Night

It's the heat

Also wash ypu bedsheet more frequently

Rexie96:
Use this and thank me later, go to any pharmacy and ask for Benzanoate... check the name on the image cover. It happened to my girl and this killed it. And use amocillin anti biotics pills too in other to kill the virus from inside. She will see result in 2days. It burns a little

They can try the benzyl benzoate. Even though that concen6is strong it will sting so maybe dilute it with water


Please stop telling g people to take antibiotics. Unless your doctor recommends or prescribes it.

And YOIR CHEMIST OR NL POSTERS ARE NOT DOCTORS PLS.
Antibiotics drug abuse is a BIG ADDICTION problem in Nigeria

capricornlady:
Mods Seun kindly share to frontpage

No need for front page.

The mixture that lady recommended is anti inflammatory it will help reduce the inflammation which I what is causing the joint pain. Turmeric and ginger are anti inflammatory.and the cost is low.

If she can afford to see a physio therapists regularly that will help too.

Arthritis can be quite bad making it impossible to move so the earlier she takes these remedies to reduce inflammation the better.

TheWinterBird:
You're sleeping with your ex again knowing she's still married and knowing you're engaged to another woman? Both of you and your ex are no good. As for your current gf/fiancée whom you've been dating for 2-years and have been cheating on, you didn't realise she had all these negatives until this your married ex (and babymama, as she already has a child for you) came into the picture again, smh. With what you've posted, she sounds like a much better person than you and deserves better.

I would've advised you to look for someone else entirely because you've ruined your current relationship with your waywardness and you're on a long tin if you think your married ex will leave her husband for you and even if she does and you marry her I doubt your marriage will work out because it'll be established on deceitful grounds. However, you're no husband material, so telling you to look for someone else is no good idea because you will just cheat on them like how you're cheating on your current fiancée, likely with this your married ex that you're stuck on. My advice is for you to forget about any marriage because your type does not know how sacred the institution is.

Is the ex married though because her so called husband is also married abroad.
Abandonment is also a reason for divorce
Not disclosing that you impotent is grounds for divorce

TITILOLA88:
Hi, i totally understand you and your statement is true, the companion is not for me but my mum.
It is the first time she will be traveling such a distance and she and I will rest easy knowing someone is assisting her with reading the signs and locating her gates.
Now, back to my question, are you traveling on the 22nd of May to Winnipeg with Air France? Thanks.

Tell your Mum to ask for airport assistance. They will escort her every where. If you booked her ticket that option is there with the airline. They will wheel her around at each airport. Check her ticket and add airport assistance.

Pleasant19:
Gbese. This one hard o. The lady wicked sha. Unfortunately if it’s the child care pilot program, the lady doesn’t even have to work for the employer who gave them a letter of employment.

Ha, how so?
Employer basically filed for you and you're not obligated to work for them

Wouldn't the pregnancy have come up in the medical exam or at the border. Shouldn't they as employer have some access to the medical report?

ReesheesuKnack:
Same way Nigeria lays claims to Kemi Adeosun, Kemi Badenoch, Anthony Joshua, Tammy Abraham, Bukayo Saka, Fikayo Tomori, John Boyega, etc…

Dunno about Badenoch

The others we claim

PopQueenAgency:
You heard zbout a case like this before?

Find an anonymous number and send her a text.

For him to brag then he'll be found out.

Personally I don't let people bragg about such things in my presence especially if I know your spouse. I won't be your alibi or cover or listening partner to prove you are sharp. I tell ppl if I know your spouse and you bring evidence near me I go talk

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13148651/amp/NHS-psychiatric-nurse-forged-health-emergency-badge-park-Mercedez-pay-display-near-home-free.html

The nurse has worked in the NHS for 15 years but she was still referred to as "Nigerian born" in the article lol

The consequences of her actions could have been avoided as the judge remarked
" When you are entitled to something, you are entitled to it, but when you're not, you're not."

She is Nigerian born na, even with UK passport she is recorded as having naturalized citizenship

chaiks:
tuition and expenses is about 35k USD per per. Tuition itself is 10, 252 USD.

That's not too bad so 10k covers your tuition. Then if you get the non resident tuition you'd have extra funds

Some schools you might be able to access more funding when arrive so you should be fine when you get odd jobs .

I saw this on another thread

stacyadams:
Am trying to log into the immigration portal,,it's asking for insurance number??any body about insurance number?

Are you sure you have the right website

USAfall2024:
Now that back market rate has come down to #1500-1600, US consular should have just maintained their last rate of #1500/$. #1780/$ is too much na, them just like to rip us.

Wo none of the rates are good jare

Paying six figures for visa fees no make any sense in a country where monthly salaries get up to 333k. Income above that amount usually means your doing some sort of business of buying and selling to augment.

chaiks:
Thank you. As soon as I complete the "to do list", it will not take long to land the offer letter. I am still trying to figure out if npower loan can suffice.

Leave Empower loan out of it.

Let it be your last resort if you have a deficit.

How much is you school fees for the master's anyways..including living expenses

toolluu:
Hi all, Please I want to ask, my mom just got 6 months visa. To help with the children, 1 month stay indicated on application though. Is she allowed to stay through the six months? What is the maximum period she can stay without violating any rules ?

Staying 6 months doesn't violate any rules, however she will be scrutinized if she shows up at border with 6month ticket or any length longer than what you put in the application

Lastly her next visa application her length of stay on previous visit will come under scrutiny unless there's like a long interval between both visits

TITILOLA88:
Hi everyone, anyone travelling to Canada on Air France on the 22 of May? Please I am looking for a travel companion, thank you

The plane will not be empty na, why do need companion.? What are you concerned about best to share that here so others can share

Anyone you ask here is a stranger just like everyone in the plane would be

Debbieeeeeee:
Unused visas should not significantly impact your outcome, as they can be explained during the renewal process. Drawing from personal experience, when I renewed my visa in 2021 after holding an unused one from 2019-2021, both the consular officer and the U.S. border officer asked about it and I told them it was due to COVID-related reasons. They were understanding, and it wasn't a hindrance. In my opinion, an unused U.S. visa does imply an intent to not relocate. You can confidently proceed with renewing your visa via dropbox without fearing any negative consequences.

In this couple though...this is 2 unused visas one that had Covid as an excuse the other.

Tickets will go up that's not gonna change much. Hopefully their income will.

Mzwealthy:
Good Morning . And happy New month. To each and every one of you
. Please just need assistance. Myself and my husband Visa would expire dis month and in all sincerity the country is hard. Ticket are so expensive. D main issue now is dat this is d second time our visa would expire without us using it d other time was due to covic so d visa expired before we could go . Now my fear is if the one also expires before we going what are d chances of us getting another US visa approved .we have traveled once to the US thou that was back n 2018. Please I need all d nswers I can get . Thank you . HAVE a great day all

One of you should travel before it expires.

Bare in mind that visas are now 5yrs so if you travel on this one and renew then the next visa would be valid for 5yrs

chaiks:
Just got admitted to SDSU. They are offering me 3500 USD scholarship, masters research fund amounting to 10k USD annually, nomination for presidential scholarship which would provide a non-resident tuition waiver for five semesters and then possibilities of other work appointments. I am now in the process of sending my official transcripts. What should I do guys?

Getting the non resident tuition waiver is the real determinant of what you afford.

Submit the documents they requested for.

Also find out when the presidential scholarship would be awarded

RaniOpe:
Thank you for your response.
Do you have an estimate of how much you spend on these monthly ?

My rent is all inclusive.

I'm in NY so water isn't charged. Electricity depends but usually shouldn't be more than 100usd but costs can be higher in the summer cos of air conditioning

Phenmeson:
How many airlines allow minor to travel on their own if less than 16yrs?
Here is a proof for you .
The few airline who allow minor of under 16 to travel on their own will definitely make the guardian/parent to receive the minor at the arrival Airport. The airline staff will definitely follow the minor through security point. At exit point, paperwork/proof of identity of parent/guardian will be check.
At this point, it still means d minor is with his guardian/parent.

And that is the process for unaccompanied minors. This isn't new,

How does this change the fact that your statement was wrong

RaniOpe:
Hi everyone.

Please I have a question about utilities, kindly provide inputs.

I currently live in a 4 bedroom apartment (with others), where utilities are included in the rent , it is a school hostel. I have no idea the specific cost of utilities because we pay directly to the institution through a portal.

I intend to move into my own apartment soon and I’ve been hunting, most apartments that I see, have no utilities included in the rent.

People that pay for utilities separately, how much do you spend monthly please? E.g electricity , gas, internet , water
I will like to factor that, before choosing an apartment.

Thank you.

Utilities vary state by state
The realtor or estate agent should have an estimate for you.

Also ask those living in the apartment building

Electricity can vary on your use
Water should be the same every month
Imternet usually there's a certain provider for the building I doubt internet can be more than 80usd if up to that.

Phenmeson:
Boss I work in the industry and I know time to challenge passengers that is over 15yrs.
15yrs old passenger are not allowed to travel on air by themselves.
This passenger sef is over 25yrs.
If a passenger wey arrived internationally either by air or rail, he or she sha go cari passport join body.
If you dey London then you go know how majority of people play the game.
Lastly travelling by rail, you are only a child if you are less than 16yrs.

Minors can travel by air unaccompanied please

olaoye15:
This is serious. So what do you you think i can do?

Nothing.

Consulate is different in each country

You shouldhave gone to the US Consulate site in the country you live in.

What you did was think you could pay visa fees in naira via gtbank for a US visa that you will attend interview in the United Kingdom whose currency is in pounds.


Please nairaland.com has a specific living in the uk thread ....information there questions there would be relevant to your current circumstances

ednut1:
lol baba let him come. Experience is the best teacher 😉

Let me just smile

I no dey give advice as aa vlogger would say

Anything wey your eye see take am

NorthernshoreTS:
Thank you so much for this update. My interview is scheduled for May 27th and I need to be in Canada by June 7th, So I didnt want a situation where my passport would still be with the US Embassy by then.

Thank you and congrats once again.

It's possible that your date maybe rescheduled
May 27 is memorial day. The consulate would honor US Federal holidays

sheunwizzy01:
Regarding my last question, I will like to give a little brief about my journey so far....

I graduated in 2015 (Forest Resources Management), completed NYSC in 2017, worked as a plantation manager between then and January 2021. Travelled to Ghana for a conference in April 2021 and entered UAE from there based on work levels. While working there, I met my current employer via an online seminar where I was a speaker. we got talking and he told me about the idea of establishing a rubber estate in Osun state. I worked remotely with his staff by organising teachings online every week for 1 hour (on my off days). We were able to establish a nursery and budding wood garden in 2021. I also contributed to Osun state establishing 2 million rubber trees through NARPPMAN even while I was working and living in UAE. Fast forward to 2023, I knew I wanted to go for my graduate program so I was prepared to write GRE, wrote that in April when I got back to Nigeria and scored 330 (162 in verbal reasoning, 168 in Quantitative reasoning and 4.5 in analytical writing). Meanwhile, I already took up a position as the head of forestry department with my employer I met online in 2021.

I applied to Michigan Technological University only (it was recommended by our consultant in Germany as he had taken some online certificate courses with the University and vouched for the high level of lecture delivery) for fall 2024. I have gotten admission AND SECURED AN EDUCATIONAL LOAN THROUGH MPOWER FINANCE FOR MY STUDIES.

Going forward, what are my chances at the Visa interview? I have no other source of funding except MPOWER, I am married, my wife isn't going with me as I am coming back to resume my role as head of forestry with my current employer (this time, I will be handling international operations...I have a letter of introduction to that effect from my chairman). Let me also add that the rubber estate project has started with establishment of 10,000 hectares of Hevea brasliensis. we project going into full production of rubber and its by products in the first quarter of 2027.

I will appreciate opinions, questions and thoughts about my case.....thanks and God bless!!!

You can get funding lots of opportunities.
Try other schools please look to states that have such natural reserves or related industrial uses.
A friend of mine got a GA for a university in South Dakota and Im pretty sure she's doing work related to Forestry and restoring the environment
