Yes bro, you need international driving license (IDL) to drive in the UK and it’s only valid for 1 year from the day of arrival in the UK.

Your IDL becomes invalid the moment you are issued a provisional license.

So if you get pulled over and they find your details on the DVLA database, you will be charged as driving with a provisional license unsupervised and with no insurance as your insurance would be nullified immediately.

NB: condition to drive with a provisional license is to be accompanied/supervised with someone over the age of 25 who’s had their FULL license for minimum of 3 years

any verifiable link to this on Gov.uk because the information there from yours is different

Lexusgs430:
Do your cherish your DBS record?

over cherish bro. What is IDL?

Lexusgs430:
Police would not bother........ Slap all the people that told you so, beta dirty slaps.........


Without a valid DL, your insurance is null & void........

but my naija driving license is valid? If caught will it reflect on my DBS?

Lexusgs430:
Your act is as confused as your question..... But you're the only one, confusing yourself........

If the police stops you, which driving licence would you produce?

What are the conditions attached to driving a vehicle in the uk, using a provisional licence?

Did you tell your insurer, you would be using your 9ja DL to drive?

If over a year in the UK, you cannot use an international license. .....


After all said, it's an illegal act if you're driving alone, without a UK license holder, that is legally able to teach you on the uk roads + L plates on the front + rear......

If and when caught, expect to warm the judges bench + fine + ban + vehicle seizure.........

i intend to show them my Niaja driving license. I was told police won’t bother so far my car is insured. I just got to Uk In January.

House any offense on this ?

Driving my car with naija driving license

Insured with UK provisional license

A lot of the British people drink tap water..... when you go grocery shopping , how many do you see buying water?. I dont see a lot

So I think those who drink, it's absolutely fine....

even in hospital what they give patients is tap water!

Bourne007:
The link was last modified in 2017, I think the rules have changed and council will tell you otherwise.

Students with dependants don't get full exemption but only get a discount

and you think the British are as dumb as Nigerians that won’t update an updated law on a very crucial information website for the public.

Lovely discussion out here

cc justwise do the needful

Like I do say it the way you portray yourself that is the way you will be treated! I noticed that most Africans here have what we called this inferiority complex or whatever they call it. They paved way for whatsoever treatment they are been given! I can tell you if you portray yourself right in Uk whatsoever part you are the sky will be your limit! The simple truth is this where ever you find yourself working always do your best! Mind your business! Don’t join the other Nigeria to Poke nose this is common among our brothers also dress neat and smart. The whites love those who work deligently and smartly they would be all over you but once you give in to some certain attitudes that contravene their worldview hence racism comes in.

umaga1991:
Brothers and sisters in the house. I have a small question to ask and please I need answers.

I got an admission in RGU Scotland, my tuition is around 5m, due to some issues, I only have 3m for the tuition. I was asked to pay 34% initial dep, and my fees can be paid installmentaly. Now my question is, can I work while studying and complete the remaining fees.
I appreciate your answers. Thanks

yes you can work to pay your school fees but it won’t be easy.

Skymoore1004:
My best friend Tobexin agreed with me today, I’m off to celebrate .

Bolded I concur

lol if you continue being good why won’t we be bestfriend. I can even invite you for a Sunday’s roast if you don’t have Coronavirus yet

Skymoore1004:
I totally agree with you. I was shocked for that mechanical guy to consider doing Bsc on top nursing. Go to U.K. and see same mechanical graduates packing pounds. Most of them even do PhD and become lecturers.

Nairaland guys have made it seem like once you do nursing or IT, gbam job and PR will fall on you.

They don’t know it’s easier said than done.
I get guys for UK doing nursing and they’ve all said it’s not beans. One even dropped out because he couldn’t cope. Oyibo nursing is not like Nigerian nursing where you just do anyhow and get licence.

Yes, you’ve got good chances of getting a job no doubt. But of what use is it to practice in a field that you have no joy for?

Once you remember your next shift, you go begin dey frown. You will be walking on egg shells before they say you’ve done something wrong. You have to do everything 100 accurate, no chance of “I didn’t know or I thought”.

Nursing is only if you have great passion for it. As per you’ve worked in the field and you just love the responsibilities that comes with it. My friend in Bradford got barred from practising and family of the man is trying to get him locked (although he’s been trying to resolve it). What did he do? He slept on night duty and a patient died. Oga did not hear emergency buzzer and before he realised what was happening, patient don die.
Another issue was that he gave that patient his tablet when he was eating dinner but did not check to see he took it immediately. If nah for Nigeria, he will go Scott free because we don’t take certain things serious here. Now he cannot work at all. DBS has barred on it. He cannot even come back to Nigeria because he’s currently under investigation. That’s it o, money wey he spend on top education don go. He cannot even get a proper job in any sector because he either needs police report or work reference or DBS. Life is now a rollercoaster for him

Please I’m not saying no one should do nursing, I’m only saying you should do it for the passion. People’s lives are in your hands.

you nailed it here bro! I don’t see the hype concerning the Nursing of a thing. It is not a job one can just opt in without having passion for it. I have seen so many people that have backed out from practicing nursing in Uk. You work 12hrs shifts which isn’t easy and one is not paid handsomely well. A college dropout who serves as a support worker or carer could take home the same rates paid to a band 5 nurse. I know of a support worker who is a college dropout that earns close to £27000 per annum while the minimum pay for a band 5 nurse working with NHS is £24000.
Being a Nurse you have to be accurate and be good with document keeping and making of mistakes could lead you too doom least I forget there are thousand of nurses facing court cases in Uk.

dupylola:
My mother in law doesn’t work, as she’s over 70 years.

Thank you all for the condolence messages. I can’t even think straight for now.

it so pathetic. Take heart my sister. The lord is your strength.

themaestro08:
Scaremongers have completely succeed in misleading you with their inaccurate and extreme rhetoric.

Let's be clear here, racism in Germany is not as bad as as this guys exaggerate.

lol this guy here doesn’t even know the international airport in Nigeria! He is still in Nigeria day dreaming and claiming he knows it all. No where is perfect every countries has it flaws! You even opened a thread on this having gone through your posts and the last person who commented warned you. I will call a spade a spade.

yelei:
Thanks for your response.
One More thing, is the conversion course compulsory?
Cos I saw a school that accepts Applicants for MSc health psychology if they have a background in health related course like nursing or public health but haven't been registered with the British psychology society.

Also, would this not be an issue when job hunting?

if you can meet the criteria of the school I will advise you opt it for that since it a core specialized Psychology. In terms of hunting for job you won’t face any issues. UK is only interested in you capable of doing the job! Much emphasis is not placed on certificate! Don’t be surprised you might even have an higher certificate than your boss in the office.

yelei:
Hello Tobi, Thanks for you input to this forum so far.
I have an offer for MSc Psychology conversion course.
You once said after such course, one can only work as an assistant psychologist. My question is
1) can a assistant psychologist get a tier2 sponsor?
2) if no, during the 2yrs psw, can one do another 1yrs MSc in psychology to specialize so as to get a tier2 sponsor?
Thanks as I wait for your response.

you can get a tier 2 visa sponsorship based on that!

Danielhouston:
So you have no experience with living in Germany? Why are you here? Did you come alone? Grab your coat and go away.

i have only been to Germany on tourist purposes only! Out of my experiences that is when I drew my conclusions that isn’t the right place for black to hustle.

Na you dey pursue me now ooo

Danielhouston:
Exaggeration and contradiction? Do you or have you lived in Germany? Pls tell your experience. Don’t just tell people not to move to Germany and argue about what someone else has experienced. Tell us your story. That’s what we want.

You are also repeating what I’ve said. I said numerous times that Germany is not designed for black people to prosper. I listed the pros and cons. I have been as raw and honest as possible. Even some people who live in Germany agreed. You don’t just get to show up and discredit what I said without sharing your experience or giving credible details.
This is not a Germany vs UK competition. It is about telling us what you experienced as a black person living there.

Noted! I love the fact you conceded to accepting the facts!

Fire on! We dey your back

Danielhouston:
Pls don’t do this. The purpose of this post is not to discourage anyone from coming to Germany. It is to share experiences with credible details and facts and leave people to make their decision. I’ve been in the UK many times, in fact UK is my second home. There are more black people suffering in the UK than in Germany. I saw about 5 people squatting in one small room in UK. They won’t even flush toilet when they pee cos they’re saving water bill.

There’s also a lot of pressure in UK. People just cover their suffering with nice clothes and fake lifestyle. UK is great for a career optimist because they have evolved more than Germany in terms of racism and equality. You can easily find lots of working class black people and people who identify as Black Brits. In Germany you’ll never really be considered German even with a German passport. THAT is what makes UK better.

Germany is safer, richer, calmer, cleaner, better organized, better health care, better social benefits for everyone. Do you know Germany offered €5000 each to freelance artists and musicians who could not work during this Coronavirus pandemic? Both foreigners and Germans got the money. UK would never.

Germany does everything by the law and books, that’s what makes it hard for people without papers to succeed by hustling. UK takes people’s money for education and sneakily throws them out after studying.

If you are a career person that wants to be the best and be recognized as a black person, UK is for you. If you want to be comfortable, get a job that pays what you work for and be able to afford everything you need, Germany is for you.
If you want to be around more black people and experience less racism, UK is for you. If you want to feel at home, UK is for you.

all I can see is Exaggeration and contradictions In your post! Where did u see many blacks living in one room in Uk and managing water? Please tell me! All are lies! Even if it happens it is those who are illegal immigrants that could suffer such fates. The health and education sector in UK is second to non! The transportation system is also lovely! Let call a spade a spade! Germany is very good country but it isn’t meant for the black man to prosper! Most students that studied in Germany eventually migrated out of Germany to another country just because they were underrated in their place of work that’s to say if you are even employed! Don’t get me wrong Germany is cool but it meant for the White skinned person!

Also UK don’t chase student out after study again! They have reintroduced their post study visa stuff! After your studies you have Two years to hustle and look for job!

I won’t advise any black person to move to Germany if he want to be successful in life you can be comfortable I am not doubting the fact! UK is the best destination to go to hustle as a black person in Europe but Getting their permanent residency is the problem.

[quote author=pitman10 post=89112996][/quote]Why not? You can study MSc nursing with a degree in Philosophy! But there are some certain criteria to be met! Like certain hours experiences in an health care setting.

Mindlog:
Thanks for the response, that will be my route as I am looking forward to Msc Child and Adolescent Mental Health, MA Play Therapy.

why not go in for MSc nursing (learning disabilities)

Mindlog:
If one goes in for a one year full time masters program starting this September and graduates next year, gets employed there and the person wants to do another one year masters program this time around, on a part time basis will the person be eligible?

definitely you can since you are on a tier 2 visa

STENON:
Greetings to everyone.
I checked online but couldn't see any right information. Please what course can you suggest for someone with History and International relations background to study at Masters level in UK?
Please I actually want something with good job prospect after graduation.

Thanks all.

Most courses in Uk aren’t based on what you studied in your undergraduate! Based on first grade information he can study the following courses


1. Psychology
2.criminology
3. Project management
4. International business management
5. Philosophy
6.Nursing(with some criteria to be met apart from degree course of study)
7. Criminal investigation study
8. Social work

Etc

One more reason I haven’t been frequent here any longer is because of Skymoore1004 . He attacks me at any given opportunity even though my post doesn’t relate to his.

Skymoore1004:
Immigration does not follow the month your “school” decides to start their summer term from. That’s not their problem! If immigration calendar says summer is from May, fine. If it says from June fine.

There’s nothing to argue about here.
Let the guy just email the university and get direct information from there.

and the so called immigration doesn’t know that summer varies among different schools?

The plain fact is schools will gradually be going on break from May for summer holidays! The immigration are aware of that too!
