Big man I just sign up under you , do I still have to make 3 different transactions using Revolut to get qualify for their £50 bonus. Big bross please break it down to a lay man like me. Looking forward to read from you. Cheers Bross... Solumtoya: Revolut is giving out £50 Referral bonus for referrals in the next 3 weeks. The person has to order a card for £4 and do 3 transactions of minimum £5 each. I usually share the referral bonus I get sonthe £25 will cover all you spend.
Whether you use my code or not, Revolut bas been my most reliable Bank for transactional purposes. The features I love most are the speed of International transfers (I can send money to US or Canada or most Countries and recipients get it same day) and their disposable virtual card for security.
Revolut has been doing these bonuses in past 4 months. Unfortunately, it has been reducing monthly from £500 down to £50 now.

If one of your familymembers is affected I guess you will continue to support her action.. Enikan Lomo claremont: Leave Nigeria out of this as we don't live there and it's a misnomer to make that comparison.
At some point in the career of every single healthcare professional regardless of how good they are at their job, he/she will panic and he/she will make a mistake that might/might not lead to patient harm. The whole concept of improving patient safety is to continuously learn from mistakes and to prevent a reoccurence.
I'm not religious, but I understand that some religious people tend to scream Jesus/God when confronted with certain situations. If this Nurse received a suspension, she would have learned from this episode and received further training that would make her a better Nurse. This episode highlights why Nurses feel the responsibility they bear isn't worth the pay they receive, a single mistake is all it takes to end a long career.
The reason why I suspect racial bias is at play here and strongly believe this expulsion can be commuted to a suspension if this Nurse goes to court is because the NMC/GMC/GPhC are not immune to bias. There has been countless court cases won against them on the disparity of their decision making based on the skin colour of registrants. |

Bro I give you my maximum respect, From your response I see you are a very intelligent person , you are much expose , very neutral on this matter . Bros you are too much. Once again I give you a much Maximum Maximum respect to you Brother.. chrisj2: Marriage is no longer a sacred institution; we all know that by now... It is a risky venture and breaking up and moving on is not the end of the world. I dont even blame the woman because no one should stay in an unhappy marriage - it builds too much resentment that makes things more difficult in future.
Firstly, this gentleman arrived in the country not so long ago and he arrived during the pandemic. How easy would it have been for him to make friends and how do adults go about making friends in an environment full of vultures? You might say Church (the usual answer) - not everyone is into that sort of thing.
Secondly, this is an an anonymous forum... Yes, the comments vary and most will not be appropriate and some disrespectful to the OP or that so-called sacred institution, however, there are also some golden nuggets for the person that has what it takes to filter out the useless comments. There is also a lot for some others to learn from.
I think in this case, the OP wanted advice about his other choices if his spouse refused to help him renew his VISA. The real marital issues were raised based on the many comments coming from contributors - i felt he was reluctant to go into details - in fact, he said so in his original post - he has not been disrespectful to his wife or institution of marriage.
This forum is actually the best place for him because his issues are unique. He is no longer in Nigeria with all the support systems; a lot of people on the forum will have better experience of the issues than his family members in or sheltered friends (if any) in the UK. From the response he got here, you can easily see why talking to friends and family can be a waste of time...
So it appears the wife got a job in the UK (health sector, maybe) and he has come along. Who knows, he might have had a higher status or better job than his wife in Nigeria but roles have reversed to some extent and she is the one with the papers and he is a dependant; and there are children involved (the kids must have been born in Nigeria... He has said, he has not cheated and he is now even maintaining channels of communication with his missus and that the main issues have origins to whatever might have happened in Nigeria and now carried over.
I personally think the OP has done well to come here because he is more or less alone in the country and his own future is at stake - the marriage and family is one thing but he cannot do much without being solid himself. Good luck to him.
* My sibling was also kicked out and I did not get involved because I did not marry his wife and whatever has gone on, is between the two of them. I have not openly blamed his wife but clearly not the type I will hook up with and those omo-eko behaviour does nothing for me. He saw and married her ( I was already abroad) and even brought her abroad. In my view, he has married someone who is not like us as a family - someone a bit more street-wise than himself...
She too was hiding things (OP talked about not being on the bills and some said it does not matter... Maybe not, but he also intimated that she is hiding other things - perhaps not just the kids savings (I dont think that is a big deal in itself). Anyway, long story short, they are separated and nothing changed even with Pastors and family members involved, family friends, elders who is abroad and Nja. * She chose to be a single parent because of financial independence knowing that she will continue to receive money from the husband and she can be in full control of the children; letting him see them from time to time... And also playing silly happy families when they have events - taking pictures and posting on facebook and hanging on to the man, so that he does not move on... |

Thank you for this wonderful comment unlike some people making humour out of some else issues all in the name of spicy up this thread.. justwise: [/b]
Bro you know that it doesn’t always work that way, sometimes the solution is to walk away and still raise the kids together without living together.
Marriage is not do or die affair, if you have tried all you can and it’s not working please walk away amicably for your own sanity.
You can not be in a loveless marriage and keep saying sorry just to keep it going no matter who is at fault here. |

Good evening House,
I'm considering getting on the property ladder with a 2 bedrooms house not more than £90k. I have a Mortgage in principle in place and the bank can only offer me the said amount of GBP 90,000. I'm considering picking between Sheffield or Bradford . But I'm not sure if there is any job prospect in this 2 cities . Currently I live in London planning towards moving out to get my own property but I'm just a bit skeptical of the possibilities of getting a job in this 2 cities . Please I will gladly welcome any suggestions as regards affordable mortgage that's not more than £90k in England with job prospect.
Thank you |

YOU ARE SO FULL OF WISDOM .quote author=onlyfacts post=89832954]
Going by your theory your belief in evolution will not hold. Scientists believe the universe came about by the BIG BANG THEORY.
When asked how those energy that created the universe where formed before the Big Bang, science doesn't have any conclusive answers. It simply believes those elements SOMEHOW where there leading to the Big Bang. PS: both Big Bang and evolution are both called THEORIES and not FACTS because it cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt. Still an element of FAITH is required to believe it happened that way!
Now to God existence without creation. I once had a discussion with a friend who wanted to know God's origin. He owns a pet dog. I asked him if his dog was intelligent, he said yes! I asked him if his dog could obey simple and some complex commands, he said yes! I asked him, if his son and his dog were trained from infancy in the same things, like they were both going to school who would come out tops? Who would graduate to become a lawyer, doctor, engineer etc? He said his son! I asked him why, he said because his son has higher reasoning capacity than a dog! And he was right!
Truth is no matter how smart an animal is, explaining complex things that humans can easily understand will be difficult for an animal to grasp. An animal can never grasp how to build an airplane or a computer program no matter how intelligent it is or how hard you try to explain it. Of cause they are intelligent in their own way but all animals have a limit to their intelligence even man! To God we are like that dog or any other animal. Even if he tried to explain his origin we will never fully understand it, because human knowledge is limited by what he or she can experience( it is limited to the physical universe of which we still don't fully understand).
God is a higher being that transcends both the physical and spiritual universe, God doesn't need to explain in details His origin, instead He says in the Bible "He has no beginning and ending".[/quote] |

After all said and done,Where exactly do you stand. Existence of God Non Existence of God. CAPSLOCKED: THERE ARE MANY BELIEVERS LIKE THAT, AND WE WERE LIKE THAT AT ONE POINT AS WELL.
THEY GIVE UP ON ANYTHING CHURCH AND RELIGION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE WHOLE THING MAKES NO SENSE. BUT THE BASIS OF THE FOUNDING OF BELIEF SYSTEMS - THAT ASPECT OF MAN THAT THINKS ABOUT LIFE, DEATH, AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF A CREATOR AND AFTERLIFE - IS HARD FOR MANY PEOPLE TO ABANDON. NEXT, THEY START CLAIMING TO BE SPIRITUAL AND START SAYING STUFF LIKE THEY EXPERIENCE SEVERAL DIMENSIONS WHEN THEY MEDITATE, AND HUMANS ARE GODS, AMONG SEVERAL OTHER NONSENSE THINGS THEY SAY JUST FEEL GOOD. SUCH PEOPLE HAVE ABANDONED THEIR RELIGION, BUT NOT THEIR DOCTRINES.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN RELIGION AND GOD, BUT BELIEVE THERE'S A HIGHER POWER... THEN YOU'RE NOT YET SURE WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE YOUR BELIEF IN A HIGHER POWER IS AS A RESULT OF THE INITIAL CHILDHOOD INDOCTRINATION YOU EXPERIENCED. |
