Can someone come to UK with 6 months visiting visa and convert it to work visa or work with it
No.


Please where did you get this information?


In the recent weeks this same idea has resurfaced here multiple times.

Is someone doing seminar in najia?

My relative doesn't have a nairaland acct yet and i just advised him to do so. If He does, it would take a week or so for his account to be activated. The inquiry is urgent, that's why I'm asking on his behalf. And He's overseas (not in Nigeria)
Since the day of your first question 1 week would have elapsed.

now you have left doctor route and swapped to visiting visa?

I have all those you mentioned including a firetv box and 2 firesticks hooked up to IPTV with most international channels and full African DSTV package. I only recently started paying TV licence after I considered the pros and cons, plus the peace of mind of not having to constant look to see who is knocking on the door. Line of Duty, Small Axe are TV shows on BBC Iplayer that are worth every penny of the TV licence fee.
Please can I get plug on the complete DStv package?

You can’t avoid paying council tax unfortunately , one of the most unfair taxes we pay here followed by TV license
You can avoid TV licence if you don't watch live TV.

Just apply online and tell them you watch Netflix and play Fortnite on your TV.

I was telling someone yesterday that it's a big slap on me as an African to fall for an Asian scam. They called me more than 4 times yesterday and saying all sort of things . An Asian guy called using a lyca number saying my NI has been reported for fraud and I have to confirm my NI, and call my bank details for them to resolve the issue.
I spoke with him for almost 15 minutes telling him why fraud is bad for him and he later apologised for calling me.

Hey guys, please bear with me for this is going to be lengthy, but at the moment I am at a crossroad. Had to create a new account because of this.

I met my husband in 2012 while I was serving (NYSC), we were first friends before we started dating. We started cohabiting in 2013 and we had a lot of issues from family to money management to cheating to gambling to fighting to breaking up several times and getting back, I will spare you guys the sordid details.

He lost his job in 2015 and since then he has been gambling. He does other things on the side like writing which doesn't bring alot but the money goes into gambling. I reported him to everyone I felt could speak to him because this was destroying and taking a toll on our finances, all the times this was happening, we were not married. Please keep in mind that I wasn't the best of persons at the time, I used to be throw my fists at him, fight with him in the middle of the road if I get triggered, our sex life was dead because emotionally I was deeply unhappy at the turn of events. I kept talking to him and wanted him to do better because I believed he could only if he just applied himself.

Our last major breakup we had was because he advised I should further my studies in the UK but I refused chasing the process because I didn't have the resources. He promised he was going to support me but he didn't have a job and on several occasions he has left me hanging in some financial situations in the past so I wasn't interested in starting what I couldn't see through. All of this was in 2019. While we were on and off, he tried other relationships and I tried too but I loved him so much so I kept going back to beg him whenever we had issues. I couldn't move on. After so much back and forth and heartbreaks, and from the frustrations I got from fighting women off him, I decided I was going to move on.


When I decided to start the process of travelling to the UK, we were in the middle of a breakup, I pleaded with him that I want him to walk this path with me, and since I didn't have enough, he could come along as a dependent so he can work the balance of my fees while I concentrate on my studies, and that since he didn't have any tangible thing doing, it is an opportunity to start a life and start earning something again. At first he was reluctant, I had to plead with him for weeks before he finally agreed to do so with me. His fears accordingly to him is that he doesn't trust me because I am erratic.

Fast forward to 2020 April, i got admission, sold alot of my stuffs, and travelled. Prior to my travelling, I had sent him money to do his passport and pay for marriage in Ikoyi registry and money for clothes as well, he didn't do none of it, and couldn't account for the money either. I got to know this a day before the so-called date that was fixed as I came from Benin, thinking I was getting married the next day but in the morning when I woke him up for us to get dressed, he said the wedding would not be holding. To cut the long story short, I had to pay for a fast track wedding a few days to my leaving the country.

I left for the UK this year January in the hope that he'd join me latest March unfortunately he hasn't been able to join me. He doesn't have the resources to fund his trip either and I can't fund it because I still have my balance tuition to pay. Since I got here its been one quarrel to another. I can work to fund his relocation after paying off my balance tuition but I feel he doesn't love me as he's willing t walk away at the slightest provocation.

I feel so alone, I don't feel loved and it has been like this for the past years. When we have a quarrel, he shuts me out, never takes my calls or read my messages. When I call those I think can reach him because I have tried to reach him for days, its another round of anger and shutting out. I am just really unhappy because I am at a loss at what to do at the moment,

Do I just move on? I am super stressed from trying to clear of the balance of my fees, thinking of how to sort out my life after school and I am navigating all these thoughts alone. I fear that nothing will change because our relationship has been toxic due to the kind of pain we have caused each other. I am willing to do better and be better as I have always said to him but on a ground that he will make conscious effort to be bette. I fear that when he comes he might continue to gamble or probably go AWOL on me if I offend him as this is what he does all the time.

I just need advice. Even though I am married, it doesn't feel like it. I don't feel loved or cared for, I don't feel like I matter to him. Emotionally, I am very very alone. He can go days or weeks without speaking to me when we have a major misunderstanding. I just want some peace, oneness, love and transparency.

You can drive with normal naija driving license in the UK. However, the licence is only valid for one (1) year from the date you arrived in UK.
Make sure you get an insurance that covers for use of international issued licence
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by umarwy(m): 5:05am On Apr 16, 2021
A word is enough for the wise

Met police have started picking people driving without a license/insurance. I believe they were a bit calm during the lock down but the rate at which they impound cars have now. My guy just got impounded last night. He got his car less than a month.

Nothing like people have been doing it for years.
When they come for you no argument is valid.

Those using international license, make sure you are within the permitted term of use, else OYO is your case.

It costs 500-1000£ to get your license.

Don't risk police records
Don't risk cancelled insurance
Don't risk your car.

Get theory test pro (the yellow app) for 5£ and pass your theory test.

Get a 10hr or 20hr block to practice driving. (Don't claim if I have driven in Lagos I can drive anywhere)

Watch Ashley Niel and dgn driving school on YouTube.

Pass your test and have peace of mind.

Invest in a full license even if you aren't planning to get a car soon.

The painful thing is this guy has had his test postponed severally due to covid. E don turn double wahala for dead body
