About 200 million pounds in visa fees alone.
That one no include other fees such as priority applications and so forth which are being paid in many cases.
The IHS is about at least 300 m as well, but since that's for health insurance, it can't really be reckoned as profit.
All in all, HO Enterprises go declare good money for the year ending 31 December 2021.
That's why they are constantly introducing new visa routes.

Scale up
Start up
Investor
Skilled worker
Graduate
Etc etc

Maybe not the most useless but it is a bit useless cos you won't get the requisite knowledge to become an ethical hacker from it. That's why I said it's more rewarding to go for oscp.
What do you suggest to a master's student/graduate A+, S+, certified candidate looking for an entry job in cyber security in UK??

We have warned about scammers, prowling potential tenants......

But play along, tell Lora Mayar you are happy to pay by credit card or cash.........

Don't pay through a link the supposed landlord gives you, tell them you would pay directly through Airbnb....

Or give me the link, make i follow the scammer play .... grin
They might give a bogus/legit Airbnb link, and when payment doesn't go through suggest PayPal or transfer for quick resolution

Thanks the response. It's really because of the International 'Experience'. For the black box, no way to avoid it as the cheapest insurer I saw is the one offering that option.

I reduced my project annual mileage from 2K miles to 1K miles and my premium has dropped to around £1,500 thereabout.

Is there an advantage of adding another named driver with an international experience aka my wife?

I am impressed by this country Sha and the way they manage data.. Kai!!

Thanks.
Just take not that if you exceed the 1k they will know and adjust your premium accordingly, + admin charges.

In layman's term, does this mean that going forward, the NHS coverage will only be free for a total of £86, 000 worth of service over the course one's life time?

Like you have £86000 worth of credit points to use? These tax never reach? Is the social system -NhS....- amongst many others not the reason why many people choose the UK over USA. If these things shrink without increase in pay, no be to go USA go hustle the money then?

Because taxes dey increase salary no dey increase, which kind life be this huh huh
So this is appx. 1k per year.

Hmmm

Looks like you know him/her outside nairaland for you to reach this conclusion.
I don't need to know him personally.


In naija we all drive like mad men.

Without practice with an instructor he shall not pass.

I know people that attempted and had to do 3-4 test before passing.

I know someone that failed in less than 10min.


Another way to pass on the cheap side is by watching mock tests and driving faults on YouTube.


DGN driving school
Ashley Neal.

Etc.

Paid version of Theory test pro (the yellow one) for theory test study and practice.

The above will increase the chances for success

You can't pass the practical test without doing any lessons.

I want to book bus from Heathrow airport to Manchester, but I'm unsure how much time it'll take from landing to 'check out' to concluding all immigration protocols.

Please, may I get guidance on how much time our stay in the airport is likely to last plus any tip on how best to travel to Manchester after dropping down in Heathrow.

Thanks.
Budget 3-4 hrs for immigration, baggage claim , toilet, look look etc. With covid it might be more.

Why not book straight to Manchester??

Please oh, when applying for visa for masters student

do I need to attach my Bank statement or I can use only my sponsor's?
Remember for

KLM you need transit visa

Ethiopian airlines 1750£ isolation in UK
Turkish airlines 1750£ isolation in UK
Egypt air 1750£ isolation in UK

BA and virgin are your best bet. I have seen people that had to cancel there flight because they didn't know about the additional fees associated with transiting through a red country.

There thoughts are ' shey na pass we dey pass, we no really enter the country'

UK has basically monopolised UK travel to there friends.

You can try Qatar airways, fly Emirates, ethihad, etc but do you know when they will be added to red listhuh

It was an obvious typo. It is indeed Scrum and not Scum, as you pointed out.

I appreciate your contribution. Thank you.

If you read through and comprehended my post you would have noticed that I never at any point claimed that a certificate after training would make me an experienced Scrum master professional. I mentioned that I am contemplating Scrum master and business analysis training and mentorship upon my arrival.

If you can drive in Lagos you can drive anywhere

If you can drive in Abuja you can drive anywhere.


Is it not just to drive and look mirrors??

Chairman went for practical driving tests and came back to the centre within 10 min.

60£ + 17£ gone.

Lagos driving did not help.

For anyone trying to get UK license,

Get an instructor

Watch YouTube

Have an open mind and be ready to forget bad habits.


The way you drive to pass the test you won't drive like that ever again.

Safety is the main priority.

Good luck

Last year November met one immigration officer through a friend on nairaland. I seek for help as regards DOB correction which I paid him to assist, i went to For capturing at Abuja head office 09/12/2020. Since then it as been issue to another issue call from different people who assisted me to talk to him. I went to servicom office in my state to complain they put a call through and he said my passport is in production room after 3 weeks I called him and his response is that the capturing I did fail and I have to come back to Abuja to recapture again.
Now I need the passport for Visa application on my way to Abuja pls advise me on what to do
Make sure you correct your DOB on NIN database.
Make sure someone is paid to update the database immediately so that it reflects on immigration side

It will never happen.
There are lots of medical procedures, who then gets to decide which ones should be compulsory or not? Forced sterilisation or forced insemination? Forced chemotherapy or forced euthanasia? Both can be beneficial depending on point of view. Which way should we go? Do you know? Does anyone?
Forced euthanasiahuh

That one na Murder na.


Btw, general question to all.

Medical euthanasia, should this be allowed/ practice more or are you against it?
