Chuchu27: I think I have just found my favorite thread on Nairaland. As someone who will be going back to school to study Nursing in their 30s, this was really encouraging and so far an enjoyable read. Thanks for taking time out of your I'm sure, very busy schedule to document your experience in detail and very articulately. Will be following. I will also like an update on this route and a possible guide since I'm coming by December |

Lotusflowerbomb: That rule doesn't apply anymore. Although, I am more concerned about their age. a would have become a capt by the end of this year (which was why i supported her migration in the first place but the bureaucracy and God knows what made them add extensions). I know it will be a hard fresh start (thinking of picking up a nursing degree/radiography when I arrive). Are these routes possible considering the age factor rather than spend an entire lifetime,training (done Basic airborne, counter terrorism, tracker and crazy courses which have no direct impact on my career and wish I had done more book related courses) and with uncertainties |

[quote author=Lexusgs430 post=89376404]This 33 year old lieutenant, is caught between a rock and a very very very hard place.........
I would not advice you to resign from the army, because unfortunately you cannot transfer your appointment, to the British Army.....
Age would disqualify you from joining the British Army (i think)......
Find out a way your present situation would work with your new normal......
Let's assume you resign your appointment, it would be a fresh start for you in the UK. Do you have the stomach for this and possibly not regret your decision, blaming or attempting to blame your new normal situation or your beautiful wife!!!!!!
Think about it critically..........[/quote
Thanks a lot for your response cos I'm thinking of a fresh start because its a dicey situation. |

claremont: If you disagree with the data emanating from China regarding Covid19, you will also disagree with the WHO data. The WHO has monitors in China who are there partly to understudy the chinese model for dealing with the virus, but mainly to ensure that the data from China is accurate and validated. Let's assume that the data from China and the WHO are both wrong, it still doesn't explain why data from other countries like South Korea, Germany, Italy, France etc actually mirror the chinese data in terms of disease spread, trajectory, mortality rate, importance of mass testing and mass lockdown procedures etc.
When China shutdown a lot of their cities to combat this virus at the early stages, a lot of countries slagged them off as a communist regime perpetuating draconian policies. The same countries have since adopted similar strategies to combat the virus.
We owe a lot to China on understanding how this virus works. The only reason the worldwide deathtoll isn't worse than it currently is is because China has been very open specifically regarding data on this virus. I could talk more on the relevance of the data from China, but let me rest here for now.
I disagree with China on a lot of things, but as an avid lover of public health science and epidemiology, China has been spot on on this specific issue. God bless the skylover,Death from above, even the birds are jealous cos on that day the devil himself screamed AIRBORNE(You mentioned being an airborne regiment vet). I really need clarification, can an army officer from Nigeria whose wife owns a tier 2 visa in the UK join the British armed forces? If yes can u please be kind enough to explain how? If no,what can/would u advice a 33year old lieutenant to do? I love the army (I am a infantry man THROUGH AND THROUGH though ours has a lot of issues but Some of us just love the career)but leaving a woman with an 8 month old in another man land(I love my family to pieces) is another issue and I'd rather leave Nigerian army than be an absent father. |

So a friend of mine is in a big dilemma. His wife just got a tier 2 visa and from what he said she might be leaving by April. They have a one year old baby. Oga works with one of Nigeria security services and hates the job but expects a new rank in 2021. Now oga is skeptical because he feels he might have to start life again(wife is in the health sector). Madam has eyes on Scotland and says she really wants him to come. Do you think someone with 6years military experience and a masters will count because he doesn't want everything to be on madams paycheck. Secondly, any one in Scotland(Glasgow and Aberdeen) who can help with analysis of basic expenses for a family of 3( housing, feeding, transport ETC). Contributions will highly welcomed |
