Hi, please I need help with this.

My wife and I are currently on psw, we have a 2yr old child who was born in the UK while on our PSW and we did a dependant visa for her.
Now we are about to switch to a new visa and I was wondering...

1. Is it compulsory to do another dependant visa for her or she can remain legally in the UK without a visa since she was born her and we have no plans on traveling out of uk with her...

2. Not putting her on any visa after the psw expires, will it have any impact on her legal stay in uk and will it affect her if we decide to apply ro her ILR after 7yrs or citizenship after 10yrs, or will it affect her enrollment into school. (I already know about the NHS out of pocket payment)

3. If at any point I need to apply for a visa for her, will her full uk birth certificate suffice or I need to get her a Nigerian passport (which involves registration on NPC, then NIN biometrics, then registration on Nigerian immigration Service website I listed the steps to know if it's the correct sequence).

I have tried checking online and have made enquiries but keep getting contradicting answers as regards the visa.

Please someone should kindly assist clarify. Thanks

A certificate is a private property

Private property, when you want to use it for contesting a public office? If you are such a private person, then don't seek for any elective position.

But you see this one in front wagging his tail and trying to form posh is a confam Ekuke shithound.

He cannot deceive me. I know them like the back of my palm.
He's a traitor and can sell you out for peanuts anytime.

Thank you.

Actually, he means don't marry him. And of course I wouldn't.

Thankfully he's not the only man out there, and not all men need their wife to submit to them.

Besides, I bet his children do not submit to him, but he wants to make a slave of someone else's daughter!

Maybe when you tell ur parents and other ladies parents to stop collecting bride price and giving long marriage list to suitors... Then these men can stop thinking they 'bought' the woman. We can't claim woke and still pay bride price dats not paid in the west/woke reference nations innit?

Women should know that the best way to actually control a man is to be humble to him.

Dtruthspeaker:
Separation and Dissolution of marriage aka divorce is different and should be different from determination of the rights and liabilities of the parties arising from the effects of marriage. That is the part that should go to court like every other matter.

But divorce as presently constituted that is registry marriage (marriage under the Act) is evil to a spouse who needs to run away from a marriage they no longer want. Imagine that oga and the wife in this case up here have to wait 2yrs before they can initiate divorce proceedings. The law did not even provide for an exception eg that if they both consent to it. They just have to suffer for 2yrs in this mess which we know that GBV will take place, marital rape and a whole lot of evils.

Exiting a marriage should be free and easy as it might be life saving.

I don't think the law is absolute. I think there are exceptions, like evidence of threat to life DV, serious neglect and abuse etc. Also, nobody said they must live under the same roof for the two years innit? One person can move out.

People confuse this with "women are materialistic."

No.

I'm telling you that YOU as a man won't be able to function in a relationship the way you want to without baseline financial capacity.

It's not about her demands. It's about YOUR standard.

I couldn't watch my partner prepare for the most important interview of her year while stressing about how she'd get there, where she'd sleep, and whether she'd look presentable. That wasn't possible for me. My brain doesn't work that way.

So the bus ticket, the hotel room, the blouse – those weren't gifts to her.

They were the minimum I could offer someone I claimed to love in a moment that mattered.

If you can't afford that minimum, the relationship doesn't die because she leaves. It dies because YOU start resenting yourself.

And that resentment eats everything.

U shld have booked a flight.. It's more convenient.

AccidentedCars:
You will find love without money, but only when you're a boy. When you become a man, that grace is taken from you.

There's a level of affection you will NEVER experience, even from good women, if you can't afford a basic, livable income.

I am not even referring to sending money in its monetary form. I mean just the things that make life easier to go through.

My partner had a job interview in another city last year. Not a local thing – a real opportunity, the kind that could shift her career.

The interview was at 9 AM on a Monday.

She told me about it on Thursday evening.

By Friday morning, I had booked her a bus ticket for Sunday, reserved a decent hotel room near the venue so she wouldn't be scrambling on Monday morning, and sent her money for a new blouse because the one she planned to wear had a pulled thread she hadn't noticed.

She did her prep on Saturday. I sat on a video call with her for nearly 3 hours while she practiced her answers. Not because she asked – because I knew she was nervous and wouldn't say it.

Sunday evening she got to the city. She called me from the hotel room.

"Babe, it's clean. There's hot water. I feel like a human being."

That sentence hit me differently.

"I feel like a human being."

The bus ticket, the hotel, the blouse – maybe ₦85,000 total. Not a fortune. But it was the difference between her showing up stressed, underprepared, and exhausted from an overnight bus… and showing up rested, sharp, and confident.

She got the role.

This isn't a one-off. This is just what being present looks like when you can afford to be.

I keep a stocked kitchen whenever she's around. Not fancy things – eggs, bread, rice, the basics. But ALWAYS stocked. Because "there's nothing at home" is a sentence I don't allow in my house.

I handle data and subscriptions without being asked. Netflix, the Wi-Fi router, her Spotify. Small things. Maybe ₦15,000 a month combined. But she never has to think about them. That's the point.

I can't stand the heat. I physically cannot function when it's 35 degrees inside. So if I can't take it, how can I let her sit in it? That's fuel money. Every single day when there's no grid power. 5 to 7 litres. Daily. Especially when she's staying over.

We don't do "let's manage." We don't trek to places. It's always a cab or a keke at minimum.

That's not luxury. That's what I consider basic.

Add it up over a year:

Fuel for the generator. Transport every weekend. Groceries restocked every week. Subscriptions renewed every month. Random needs – a drug she needs at midnight, airtime when her line runs out during something important, data when she's on deadline.

That sums up to well over 2 million naira each year. And I'm not talking about MONEY sent as money. I am just referring to basic convenience.

The things that make a woman feel like she's with someone who has capacity. Not wealth. CAPACITY.

Your best bet as a young man is waiting until you're certain that love is ALREADY present before following through with generosity.

So yes, you can find love without money.

But there's a level of love you cannot preserve without financial stability, not because your partner is a bad girl, but simply because this is the fucking planet, and the nuances that make life beautiful, or at least livable, are expensive.

In summary, you'll find love without money as I did all through the years when I was a boy.

That grace is removed when you become a man.

U said ur partner? Is she your wife or just a gf?

If u r doing all these coz u love the 'lil comfort' that comes with it, it's fine, but if u r doing it coz of her? Then I'm wondering if she's not working to afford her basic needs like subscription, transportation to a job interview, airtime, etc. While u need little funds here and there to make a relationship enjoyable, also make sure she can afford the basics for herself.

Hi, how do I get this plan and how much is the estimated cost of this building in Abuja on 2plots

KennethOkonkwo:
Let's set politics aside and discuss the real economic issues.

When people ask, "Where is the money saved from fuel subsidy removal?" I hope that question is not directed solely at President Tinubu or the Federal Government.

First, it is important to understand that Nigeria still runs a significant budget deficit even after removing fuel subsidies. The savings from subsidy removal alone are nowhere near enough to eliminate the deficit. In other words, removing fuel subsidies does not automatically end government borrowing.

What subsidy removal does is increase the amount of money available in the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC). However, FAAC funds do not belong exclusively to President Tinubu or the Federal Government. Constitutionally, those funds are shared among the Federal Government, state governments, and local governments. The President cannot spend FAAC allocations at will, nor can he dictate how state governors or local government chairmen use their respective shares.

Therefore, if the question is, "What is the subsidy savings being used for?" that question should not be directed only at the Federal Government. It should also be asked of your state governor and your local government chairman, since they receive constitutionally allocated shares of the increased FAAC revenue.

Secondly, even the Federal Government's share of the additional FAAC revenue is insufficient to cover Nigeria's annual budget deficit, which remains substantial. As a result, the country still has to borrow. The difference now is that, in principle, borrowing is no longer primarily intended to finance fuel subsidies or recurrent obligations such as salaries, but rather to support capital and infrastructure projects.

This shift in fiscal policy has contributed to improvements in Nigeria's sovereign credit outlook. Rating agencies such as S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings have upgraded Nigeria's outlook in recent times, partly because of reforms including fuel subsidy removal and exchange-rate liberalization.

Finally, Nigerians should not expect these reforms to produce an immediate and drastic reduction in the prices of goods and services. The more realistic expectation is that they will help stabilize inflation over time, restore macroeconomic stability, and gradually improve purchasing power as the economy adjusts. Economic reforms typically take time before their full benefits are reflected in the cost of living.

After all these long write up... U don't think that the effect of subsidy removal should reflect on both the macro and micro economics of Nigeria after 3years? U don't think the dividends I'd supposed to be felt by the common man on the street? Yes, the president does not have full power over the governors and LGA chairman constitutionally, the only power he has over them is to make them defect from their parties to APC so he can win elections.... REST GUY... REST

Shut up and fix the problem . While flood is natural, if it is caused by blocked drainage system and government inability to properly manage waste disposal... Then the commissioner has failed in his job, he should resign. Even if Lagos produces 20k tonnes daily, since the govt knows, they should put up modalities to tackle it and no complain about the number of tonnes... Complains don't fix issues.... MAKE THEM SHOE WORKINGS
.. NO BE CHO CHO CHO. Always telling us the amount of tonnes produced, WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM... FIX IT

Gbadebo na indeed a Groove.

Flood is something natural which is caused by heavy rain

And as for the refuge blockage, that's caused by the citizens who chose to be dumping their refuse inside gutter

At least the LASG are taken measures in preventing such case which Grooves as an opposition is not interested in appreciating

Counterigbolies:
guy are u just arguing blindly or what?

Did u read this?

Same exchange rate reform is responsible for more money to states n u are here condemning it....it's obvious u really don't understand what u are arguing about

No dey talk rubbish.

If allocations have increased by 43%, by how many % was naira depreciation?

For instance... So 100m at 1500dollars to 1naira is better than 50m at 500 dollars to 1 naira?

2hat is the actual purchasong power of the amount that has increased? U can't devalue a currency by more than 100% and increase allocations by 43%... There is still a deficit of 57%.

Make una no dey talk rubbish abeg. Face value of the money isn't what is important.. It's the purchasing Power.. . Else u'll prefer 50,000 UGX (Ugandan shillings) which is around 14 dollars to 50dollars? Simple because the former has a greater face value?

Rest abeg!

bigpicture001:
It I very true...I run a medical lab...and I can say the doctor said correct..

U see couple comer pre marital test all testing negative...then just 8-months to 18 months after childbirth...wife is HIV positive

And u automatically assume that it's the man that gave it to the wife? Really, women don't cheat? All the paternity fraud that have been coming to light recently haven't taught you anything? So there isn't any chance that the women may have cheated with a man that's positive to HIV? SMH

Did he succeed in raping her ?

The guy even tried to do damage control... And the lady used the damage control as evidence....

It is an ikegwuru situation...

The judgement was too harsh though..
Five years not bad ... But deportation chai!!!

As an immigrant on a visa, most times, if you commit a crime that warrants a prison sentence of more than 12monyjs (1year), once you come out, na deportation STRAIGHT.

madridguy:
Both Davido and Reno are both right.

I see no reason Reno is trying to defend the FG. When the Chibok girls were kidnapped by Boko haram, Jonathan major blunder then was to attend PDP rally and he was busy dancing while our school children were in the hand of Boko Haram.
Everyone were so angry with GEJ then.

Tinubu and his wife, Chief Oluremi Tinubu did far worse than what Jonathan did then.

Ah ah! R u sure u've been paid ur 30k allowance, this one you are saying the truth and rebelling against ur paymaster? Abi den don sack you? Wait for ur fellow 30k keyboard gang to finish u now.... 🤣🤣🤣

Unless he's the one who rented the apartment for the girl, planting a secret camera in her bedroom is a crime.

That girl can sue him and win.

Back to the topic, the girl fúck up sha, finding a loyal girl in this era is almost impossible.

Even of he even rented it for himself, he needs to tell her or remove it.. U cnt video pple without their consent. So he has her nvdes now?... Imagine...

Dreal1247:
That family will soon leave Nigeria and relocate to another country till God knows when to visit Nigeria again.

Exactly what I was thinking this morning, the family will relocate abroad immediately, the children will go to school there and probably live till adulthood there and may never come back to Nigeria. After all, the uncke/brother was a minister, so money won't be the problem...

Na poor man wey never see airport B4 go suffer the brunt of everything...

While I am not in support of a SHADY PRIMARIES.... However, all the aspirants crying that they lost out in the primaries, is it not because Peter Obi joined NDC that they all decamped and joined NDC with him? On their own would they have bought nomination forms of NDC if Obi didn't go to NDC?

So isn't that self interest in full display there? Most of them can't even win their own street if they were to be in another party but they went there coz of the Obi tsunami and now acting as though they are bigwigs, while in the actual sense, they want to ride on Obi's popularity, don't be surprised some will still decamped later just as we saw in LP.

They should better resolve this issue amicably and not scatter the party.

Which mockery is more than the APC and presidency keeping mum about it and instead going about conducting a sham party primaries?

Is Okoye the president, Governor, or a politician?

You will think that with what is happening in Benue, Plateau, Kwara and Oyo, APC shouldn't have more than 500 votes in each state... But u'll be surprised that people will still vote massively for them either because of some form of inducement or plain stup*d*ty

'A woman's age is the most significant factor affecting fertility, with egg quantity and quality declining gradually from age 30 and rapidly after 35, making conception harder and increasing risks of genetic abnormalities. While older maternal age increases risks of pregnancy complications (gestational diabetes, miscarriage) and chromosomal issues, most women in their 30s and early 40s have healthy babies'.


What about this?

Kobojunkie:
Does not seem at all like that to me. By the way, she is right that you are getting older because at your age, your chances of having a child with disability have increased by 2%(recent science has shown it is the man's sperm that begins to degenerate after age 28). 😒

So, if you plan to have kids, you should maybe begin seriously screening serious partners, and not 20-year-olds who are not interested in you. 😒

What about the science that has shown that age affects a woman's quantity, quality and health of child, not forgetting the ability to have a complication-free birth...

Hello house, if you buy treasurybill in secondary market, will you still pay a WHT? Or could it be that the primary investor has already been charged for it?

You'll still have to pay WHT

They may use delay tactics to make sure the bill is not passed in time for it to be used for the next election. So while the Bill will be finally passed, it will be implemented in other subsequent elections post 2027.

That will be a win-win, coz they did what the people wanted but still made sure it won't be mandatory for 2027 election.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
You know how dubious these guys can be

For instance

You invested 10m in TBills at rate of 15% for 352 days.
Upfront you get the interest to the tune of 1.35m after withholding tax of 150k was taken off.

Now at the maturation of the tenor (after the 352 days), will the government still tax this 10m?

By removing VAT (10%) and income tax (25%) from the 10m, by playing deaf and dumb in being unable to discriminate between income and investment?

Leaving you with 6.5m?

Please someone should respond to this...

This government get as e b. Before they'll classify it as an income hence, it needs to be taxed at prevailing rates...
