Lol - our people fear even the mention of death. Don't sow panic o.
We are a people who virtually never write wills and strenuously avoid talking or thinking about death and here you are bringing up the inevitable end.

wonlasewonimi:


You better go and buy Google stock. They are doing a stock split 20 to 1 so that you can make money and buy the latest Legend

kode12:

Yeah, that’s an advantage we don’t have as Africans. Teens here are already talking stocks, bonds etc while the average joe is absolutely clueless

fatima04:
My updated credit score , to encourage new comers and all the queries about building credit score. Its not an overnight race and requires lots of patience and steps. Took me 4yrs to get here and my advise is everything matters, oldest account on report is for my water provider severn trent and every account for electricity, Internet etc is also reflected, so not just owning and using CC helps.

I also have credit card accounts with different banks and ensure I only use what is in my budget for the month (mostly), so pls don't spend and not pay back and start accruing avoidable interest cos those APR values are something else

dubaiprince:


Nigeria actually have similar schemes under the NHF but it is a shame they are only on paper.

dubaiprince:
Public funds are mostly unconditional benefits and assistances where u don't have to refund the government. In the case of help to buy, the government's contribution is not free, it is a loan you pay back (with interest after some time). For LISA, there are stringent conditions under which you can withdraw without getting government charge. It is more like saving money with the government to collect it later in form of contribution towards deposit or pension at 50 years. Help to buy and LISA can't be seen as public funds.

You will surely see the signs of a scheme that is not open to migrants. All the shades of public funds will be written over it especially during application unless you want to ignore.

Ticha:


If you're under 39 years old, open a LISA account. Start paring down your expenditures. You can also round up your spends and save the spare change to the nearest pound. Sell anything you have that hasn't been used for 6 months or more - cos the chances of then using it again is quite low. Get a 2nd job if you have the time (do not sacrifice family time as you'll never get that time back) and save every penny from that 2nd job. Consider saving a fixed monthly amount as well.

Remember unless you're rolling in wealth, your first home is just a stepping stone into property ownership. Be realistic as to what you can buy. Good luck!

Adewumi2888:
Wait ooo!!
Please does getting a trainee position within NHS amount to recourse to public fund ?

Ralphlauren:


Help to buy scheme and LISA are two different things.

Ralphlauren:


They've casually mentioned that they used the government's help to buy scheme which means all they had to do was drop 5% deposit.

I hope they are aware that such schemes are tagged as public funds. Good luck to them if they are not indefinite leave to remain holders as at the time they made the application . . . . Only an idiot with an eye on UK citizenship will claim public funds and think they can get away with it . . . .

You can never go wrong with a quick googling.
But just this once - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-highway-code-8-changes-you-need-to-know-from-29-january-2022

TheGuyFromHR:
Has anyone noticed cyclists riding in the centre of the road this morning in groups, following the changes to the Highway Code? Hilarious, they're holding up the traffic and having fun.

For those not aware, Highway Code has changed as of yesterday, so familiarize yourselves with the changes.

OKOMU almost in the league of TOTAL ENERGY.

...grossly undervalued!

It is well.

yMcy56:

My bros, don't mind me oooo, I know sabi book and I'm in no way near any expert in this field.

In the case of UCAP and GTCo, I think you should leave your UCAP especially since you entered at very good junction.
You may liquidate another stock to enter GTCO.......but not UCAP.

Pls note that this is purely my opinion.

ucvin:
Access bank has tied down my funds. Seems something fishy is going on with ACCESS..It has no business trading at the current price when compared with FBNH, UCAP and ETI. Should i sell off or keep holding? I'm really disappointed.

Visa Alert!!!
Hehehe I've longed to type this since I discovered Nairaland in September 2020 when my husband was waiting for his second canadian visa application which he got a refusal. I was a strong follower of the Canada students thread.
I am from Kenya and I told myself wherever Nigerians are going we will go. That's how we started our journey for UK Student visa which never went far as we didn't have the amount required in bank statement.
My second option was to apply for Skilled visa which actually should have been my 1st option.
I did blind application to companies that were offering sponsorship and I got an offer and a CoS.
Timeline.

Visa Application 12/1/2022
Biometrics 14/1/2022
Tls email 26/1/2022
DHL collection 27/1/2022.
All info was gotten from this thread and less from UKVO.gov website. Truly go through the pages, you won't miss any details.
Thank you Nigerians, we did it!!!

And to the famous quote which I couldn't wait to write
"What God cannot do doesn't exist!"

I am not happy here, after putting in all my best in job interview for a PA role in one of the big four accounting firm, i was successful in the first stage I did in Nigeria, the final interview was in uk , I was asked the same questions which I knew I did well, just for me to receive a regret mail that I was unsuccessful, I keep asking my self what went wrong, is it because I don't have UK experience? I put in my best and have years of experience in the role. What went wrong ( feeling so sad). I need advice please.

What can I do to get adminstrative jobs in the UK, honestly I have been applying. I know the job that I can easily get is care work, but I don't really like it. Please I need advice to stand my feet in this UK what best to start doing.

Just need advice to be strong in this UK.

Please if there is anybody living in Northampton kindly let me know, I am really feeling alone here.

Many thanks

Yes nah, but once d USA ups it's interests rates Nigeria will be forced to react, most likely by increasing theirs above the current inflation rates or suffer massive outflows of funds (Dollars, Pounds, Euros etc).

People like me, "the locals",will happily liquidate many stock positions for 16 to 18% returns that bonds and treasury bills will offer. Why not, I am already sitting on profits.

Next thing you will hear is that Zenith fell bellow 20 Naira, etc.

Wheeew.... it's so hard to find value play in the current market conditions, but then the following stocks are definitely looking like a bargain if you are an investor with long term horizon:

1. Disney, DIS
2. Mercadolibre, MELI
3. PayPal, PYPL
4. Corsair Gaming, CRSR
5. Alibaba, BABA

Remember, time spent in the market always beats time spent timing the market. So if you are in for long term, the above listed stocks are trading at great prices.


NB: The above is my personal opinion, not investment advice.

You should be smart enough to understand sarcasm.

Mpeace:
Hmmm. But the foreign investors have left naija naaa. Y should we worry too much?

ositadima1:


Not all of them.

USA is planning on increasing interest rates in order to fight inflation which is currently around 6%.

Then, Nigeria is most likely to also increase in response. Money will likely flow from the Capital Market to Government Bonds and Treasury Bills.

I used Skipton building society back then but I think you might be better off with moneybox just because you can do more with moneybox.

By the way, you can open your Lisa account with as little as £1 just to get it rolling and fund the account when you have your lump sum. This is especially beneficial to those lookin to use a LISA account towards their first home. You need to have opened the Lisa account for a year before you can withdraw the funds.

Modified.. You need to fund it with £4000 before April if you want to get the max government bonus (£1k)this financial year.

I don't even think that world will exist when we are old.... All of us we better plan our retirement well

TheGuyFromHR:


You're correct, the relief is per contribution.
Each time one pays into a pension, even if its 10 pounds, HMRC tops up the 20%.
And one can have more than one pension.
