Go and buy Coca Cola stock. The price will go back up.

What about speedy prosecution of looters?

Another looter has identified a mega millions contract.
What informed this? What is the statistics of school children hit by car that has caused this?

Poor horse!

What kind of country do we have??

Suky01:
£20 per month for 20G/B per month

That's too much. I pay £20 for 150GB on O2 and I can use my data in 70 countries including USA.
I usually upgrade to a higher data once I see them advertising new plans or doing promo.

Mobile: 150Gb+unlimited national calls and text = £20 monthly
Home: Unlimited WIFI + house phone + Cable TV including sports = £91 monthly (after discount for triple package).

Practically don't use the mobile data now as working from home and phone connects to home wifi.
Home service provider said I used 116GB in April and that is mainly due to conference & video calls and work email attachments.

This did not happen in Nigeria. E for weak me pass.

I couldn't sleep throughout the night. I was busy checking up on my friends in India and feed them with words of encouragement.

The sudden surge in recent weeks, with an insidious newer variant possibly playing a role, is casting increasing doubt on India’s official Covid-19 death toll of nearly 200,000, with more than 2,000 people dying every day.

Each day, the government reports more than 300,000 new infections, a world record, and India is now seeing more new infections than any other country by far, almost half of all new cases in a global surge.

Together we shall fight and overcome this India

We stand with India!

Been checking with colleagues on calls with them too. Many are not directly affected but have family members impacted

3 people fell inside.

2 people were rescued.


1 person who wanted to help no come make am.

God please give us sense and Holy Spirit.

Try and understand the story better.

A lady fell into the river. 2 men jumped in to save her and only 2 people finally got out of the river alive.

Maj196:
Nothing spectacular

Nothing spectacular but you can see a high level of cleanliness and no litters around.

See a hostel with cloth washing line in the quadrangle and no cloths and other things hanging from balconies, windows etc.

It is a Public and not private school and compared to Nigerian public universities, this looks organised.

Totilopussylick:
I wish them more death

Do you realise that most of these military men are also victims of the decay and corruption facing our society today?

The lady was saying. Hey guy, what a pity!

They do Strength of Materials in first year whereas we did it in second year. Maybe they do A levels before entering Uni.

Yes, I have. I had worked for an international company in Nigeria and was moving to the UK while processing a transfer for the same company in the UK office as my expatriate boss from the US who was temporarily working in Nigeria wanted me to remain within the company and so he put in a word to the UK office. I eventually converted the transfer to a rehire process as the UK office were wasting my time on the transfer while I was in Nigeria and I wanted to resign and leave. Anyway, I resigned, moved to the UK, continued the process, was given an offer and then I declined it because they stepped me down from my equivalent level in Nigeria. I knew this because the levels were same globally. Anyway, I could easily reject the offer and did so via email because I had an offer at the same time from a competitor which was much better in terms of level, salary and company benefits. This was 14 years ago. To be fair to them, i was slightly changing department in the Uk but it didn't warrant the step down.

Rejection email below.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you very much for offering me the opportunity to work at xxxxxx UK . I have carefully considered the offer and unfortunately, I will not be accepting it as I believe that the career level offered is not commensurate with my skills and experience.

I really appreciate that I was considered for a position at xxxxxx UK and that the organisation had confidence in me, which resulted in the extension of an offer. I look forward to any future engagement with the organisation.

Best Regards.


Their reply.

Thank you xxxx for your email and feedback on the offer which was made.

I understand the reason for your decision and am sorry that we were not able to meet your expectations.

All the best with your future career path.

Kind Regards

So mother and father is no longer enough? One has to say Biological.
It seems everyone is now mother and father in Nigeria.

TheGreatIYANU:
Justwise, you are a respected person on this forum and this drivel will not stop my respect for you. However see your quote in bold...

You accept the FACT that the OP has not mentioned anything. He keeps saying he will not state further details. He has stated his reason for opening this thread but naija mentality will not allow you people let him 'drop his cup'.

1. Do you know his current Country of residence?

2. Do you know his NATIONALITY(IES)?

3. If the UK police replied his email and he is asking for LIVING CONDITIONS in the UK, is this a CRIME? Has he scammed anyone?

I'm actually disappointed that you carried naija mentality to the land of the Queen. The little exposure I had there has made me open minded and taught me to ASK.

How about you simply answer his questions, wish him well or simply ignore?

Well I rest my case in this issue. OP, I have no interest in becoming a Police Officer whether in UK or anywhere else but I wish you well.

Keep us updated.

Sometimes, one can make inferences from what someone posts.

As per nationality, there are mainly three scenarios relevant here for the job in terms of rights to work.
Either the OP is British, Irish or a foreigner with a right to live and work in the UK. These are the primary ways that you can work in the UK. If the OP was one of these, he could easily hop on a plane here and all the long story of processing travel easily as contained in the screenshot posted will not be necessary.

I recognise that the OP was asking for information on what it is to be a Police Officer in the UK but the post generated no positive response to the question. Anyway, while it may be prestigious to be a Police Officer, it is not fun here and can be frustrating as many a times, they need to restrain themselves a lot in what they say to people or how they handle situations. I will give you an example with the Spanish police. I was watching a programme in which some UK lads went to Megaluf in Spain on a drunken spree and when one of them was misbehaving on the street, a Spanish police officer was cautioning him. Then one of his mates came to them and started insulting the Police officer. The Spanish policeman gave the British lad a very dirty slap and that was a shocker to him. He wasn't expecting it as no Police officer in the UK would dare to do that even in the face of being taunted. He quickly realised that this was not the UK and walked away and that was it.

moonbender:
Amen Amen. Thanks brother

Fact is that none of them can discourage me.
To some people, there's limit to their success and achievements. But to me, there's no limit and I don't bad mouth anyone making a way for him or herself.

Once again, I appreciate your mention.

God bless

As for me, I am not even remotely thinking that this is a scam. If you apply for a job via the genuine UK police website and they are in correspondence with you, it cannot be a scam.

Most times, when companies or organisations here are corresponding with you after you apply for a job, they assume that you have the right to work. It is only after they make you an offer and your resumption is being processed that they ask for your passport or residency rights. Certainly, that is what happened to me when I got my current job. That is the aspect that some of us are sceptical about and are are not trying to dissuade the OP

moonbender:
I will state it again that I do not need to give all details as that is not the reason I created this thread.

If you know of any advantage or disadvantages, post it. If not, ignore the thread.

People can't give constructive feedback to your post if it does not make sense to them. It would be like wasting time. Justwise lives in the UK and I also do. Why would we or others contribute meaningfully when your post doesn't make sense to us? If it is a position that allows Commonwealth citizens to apply, then that is a different case.

moonbender:
Mhen. You are disgusting for mentioning
"scammer".

I don't need your facts. Neither do I need the advise of the other boy called justwise.

Keep your fact and use it to achieve greater heights for yourself.

I think Nairaland is becoming useless day by day.
Someone is requesting for A, and all he gets is F.

Its normal for you to think I am a scammer since this platform is its den already. All blames to Lala for not making his platform clean enough for sensible and legit people to work with.

The issue is that you have not told us the whole story.

Do you have any kind of residency in the UK? At least I do not think so. The screenshot your posted shows that you are likely still in discussion with them. You have asked them that they should let you know if there is a way that they can assist you to get your travel processes in Nigeria easily

Your name also shows in the screenshot that it is G. C. or at least that is some of your names.

Aconomist:
Nigerians get mad when Europeans call you monkeys and look down on you. But why do you chose to live like animals instead of beautifying your environment? What is so hard about performing basic improvements like painting your house?

Here is another Nigerian village vs a remote village in Norway. Guess which one is the Nigerian village.

The first picture is the Nigerian village

Emmyorbs:
Thanks for your response - but please competition in what sense ? you mean in terms of giving out admission?

No. The two universities are not in the same competing class in terms of ranking.

unamamatoto:
I relocated to Enugu recently and I started attending a small church in my area in Independence Layout (name withheld)... I also joined with the sanctuary department.. So, we clean the church every Saturday.. That was how I became close to her... She very beautiful and has a big soft arse... I asked if I could have her number should in case I need counseling or prayers and, with being hesitant, she did.. wow. I called her and I told her I was traveling and I would like to get her a gift while returning back.. She said okay... Since then, she's been calling to know about my welfare and at the end of the call we made tonight, before we bid farewell, I jokingly told her I miss her and I wish she was not married, that I would have loved to make her mine and she laughed and told me point black that, I should keep trying.. that maybe, I could win her heart... so, my question now is how can I go about it... mature minds please... She's very beautiful and has a wide hip...

You do realise that if this develops beyond where it has now, you will certainly be caught someday.

Emmyorbs:
Being a Nigerian, I know many things don't make sense in Nigeria but still, some things still make sense sha.

Btw, does it make sense to study in a university where your perpetually experience missing scripts, insecurity and all sorts of headache?

Still, no Nigeria public universities are no headache reflector.


Well, I would like to run D.E in a northern university and
I'm left with the indecisive option of Bayero University, kano and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Without further ado, I would love to know which is fairer in terms of fees, security and cost of living.

Your opinions will be appreciated...I salute
Many thanks.

ABU of course. There is no competition there.

OneTemplate:
No. The UK. The Houses and yellow number plate on the Vela gives the location away.

Not just those. The Right Hand Drive gives it away.

Its your choice whether to add pepper to any soup.

I loved Budapest when I visited. Really looking forward to going there again.

It isn't an expensive city and the Goulash soup was fantastic.
