Does KLM or Lufthansa still require transit visa? They seem to be the cheapest from Lagos for the next few days.
Anyone who has used them recently please advice. |

gmacnoms: But Las Las , you still pay every penny . No be free money abi? This is the idea behind credit (especially the interest free ones) If you want to buy something of 1k and you have the cash, rather than pay the 1k cash, you can put it in a high yield investment account for it to generate interest while you pay the credit small small. So before you exaust the 1k on the credit, it would have generated money for you. There are stocks that you'll buy and if you are lucky, it will generate all the money to pay the credit. |

Progressivegee: Hi guys, my letting agent sent a mail yesterday that they are coming for inspection of the property. Currently, my kids have stained some part of the wall in the sitting room and the carpet is stained but i can easily pay someone to come watch it spotlessly. Would it be right to paint the wall using the same paint? How long notice can I give them to come and do the inspection? I am also paying regular insurance for the property which amounts to £10,000 for stained wall, carpets or damage furniture and I haven't missed a payment since I moved.
What should I expect from the inspection as well?
Thanks in advance Which insurance are you using aand how much so you pay monthly? Looks like I need one because my son don finish my was with black and blue pen. I was thinking of leaving my deposit with them when I want to move but let me consider the insurance option. |

Lexusgs430: If i were in your shoes, I would not use my car......... Your vehicle does not have instructor's pedal fitted........
That instructor's pedal, is your examiner's life insurance....... Without it, your examiner would feel exposed like a fish, out of its pond........ 😁
The examiner would inspect your vehicle, and would fail it, for the slightest reason....... Just pay about £100 and use an instructors vehicle.......... Not really. The examiner would rather terminate the test at any danger and this can also happen with instructor's vehicle with dual control. The law says you can use your personal vehicle provided all conditions are met. These examiners are professionals, they don't use emotions. |

Does anyone have information about parking at Heathrow Airport
How far are car parks from the airport? Like how much for a 5hrs parking? Any restrictions worth knowing before hand? Will I still need to take uber because of luggages?
I understand I should avoid driving to/in London as much as possible but I just want information about parking in/around Heathrow airport.
Thanks |

Oyi12: My issue is this when they started these lies immediately I joined the organisation one of the staff told me to start keeping evidences. For sleeping the only concrete evidence I have is pictures of them and videos of them sleeping at different times that I have taken, it is against the Company's policy to snap anyone without their consent. Please how do I go about using these evidences to exonerate myself of this allegations as they have tried every means to get me and this is the only lie they could come up with. Can I show the HR the pictures and videos and let her know that I had to do it as I have seen the signs of them trying to frame me up? Please I need advise before my meeting with her. Thank you all. My only contribution to this is if the accusations against you are false but upheld, tender the evidences you have. Let everybody bear the heat. |

Knowlegeseeking: My people,
Thank you for helping me stay on track with my ACCA and audit career.
Please come out and help me with taking this decision.
I have 2 jobs offers. One with the audit firm (company A) i currently work with on a part time basis (unto 20hrs limit) which is offering me 5 years sponsorship and another audit firm (company B) offering me 2 years fixed contract based on me going on a PSW visa route first, and subsequent sponsorship when i get chartered.
The second company is a top 15 audit firm here with very good pay and benefits. The one i currently work with is on the lower cadre of audit firms and the pay and benefit is not as good as the former.
For company A (sponsorship), i will bear the cost of Visa and IHS for the 5 years (9,086 with the going rate or 13,624 if the new rate is applicable by October). This calculation includes my spouse and I. There is the option of paying this cost overtime by direct deduction from my salary.
But if i go with going on the PSW first and finishing my exams, I only bear PSW costs (3,926 pounds with the current rate or 5,785 if the new rate is applicable by October). company B assures bearing all costs of sponsorship when we get to that bridge.
I have considered career trajectory, interests, work-life balance, proximity, etc, and the company B tick more boxes.
In your honest opinion, please tell me what the best choice will be.
Thank you. I will go with company A for the following reasons Actual offer of sponsorship is better than promise that is not legally binding. With company A, you are on 5 year route already, with company B you are looking at around 7 years With company A, you can change to another company on sponsorship with better pay, you can even apply to company be after 2 years if they are willing to sponsor at that time. With company A, change in visa policy is less likely to affect you because you are in that visa category already, if visa policy changes before company B's sponsorship come, you may be affected (who knew this dependant thing will happen so soon and who knew students would be banned from switching visa category as well? Anything can happen) Lastly and more importantly, with company A, you have rest of mind, you are not praying for 2 years to come quick so that you will get sponsorship. The advantage with company B is just high risk high reward. So if you like to take risk you might prefer company B. |

justwise: @All
When buying a land from any of these agencies in Nigeria how do one verify that they are genuine? Apart from visiting their offices and viewing the land which other ways can one verify that these are not scammers? The seller will give you photocopy of the land docs, that is what you take to ministry to verify. That is what I heard. The bolded is not among the ways and the company's reputation or track record is not a guarantee. |

justwise: You are just speaking in tongues which is very common when church-goers want to deflect from the real issue.
You agreed that Christians can commit sin but a pastor who committed sin is not a Christian? Simply put, not all pastors are Christians. Whether you commit sin or not is irrelevant. Mere answering 'pastor' does not make you a Christian. |

justwise: He is a Christian, no Christian is without sin. If 1% of Nigerians are as Christ-like as you stated here then Nigeria will be heaven on earth considering the number of churches we have in Nigeria. I choose my words carefully. I didn't say a Christian is someone that does not sin. I said a Christian is someone that behaves like christ. In christ, there is forgiveness and forgiveness will not exist without sin but that is not the issue. The issue is that in the example you stated, the pastor is not a Christian. There are churches established for the purpose of taking people away form christ, those are not just sinners, they are anti-christ. |

This is typical of AI. Think about it, what lesson did you learn from the post? Starting business with my relatives: is it brothers, sisters, cousins etc? Passion for the industry: what industry? Everything seemed promising: what was promising? revenue, growth? Unforseen challenges: now that the challenges have been seen, what are they? The business faced tough decisions: what decisions? Finally, the writeup appeared effortlessly excellent without errors both in the use of words, grammar and punctuations. This is not typical of humans especially as it is not an official writeup. |
