The argument for and/or against student visa, dependent visa, Home Office, immigration etc has become stale and boring.

Whatever side of the divide you're on, don't worry, you win.

If you think you're making sense by buttressing your points any further, you're not making sense again.

Saw this in one of the Africa Group I am and thought of sharing here.

I tried to signal the two guys to stop talking but they were adamant I even went as far as saying this out loud ( UNA GO JUST DEY TALK NONSENSE) just to distract the guys but NO. They kept talking.

#copied.

Please take this feedback to the group.

Next time, rather than going through the corners, tap the guys and say to them straight up "bros mind your mouth, be like say person dey record una conversation "

The reason for this is too long to type. But if you put yourself in their shoes, you will find out that you would prefer the person tells you straight up than continuing to use signals you don't understand.

Yes, I want to join but she said i shouldn't worry. I asked the amount but i never got response when my insistence was much she said circa 15million which is not true cos its not care work that you'd paid for COS and the coy paid our tickets.

It's very possible to spend that amount on relocating a family. Do the calculation yourself with black market rate you will be shocked.

From your writeup, your wife seems to be a responsible woman, she does not disturb you when she knows you don't have.

As I read through the post and responses, I kept changing what I want to comment. Apparently she has taken a lot of front roles in the family that she now assumes control. After all you 'depend' on her.

You guys need a lot of communication at this time, she needs to understand its no longer business as usual where the man alone is financially responsible for the family. She still thinks she did you a favour bringing you here, make her understand it wasn't a favour because you guys are family so the rlnship should not be transactional (don't sound ungrateful though).

Above all, you need to assume control and authority back. Unfortunately, to do this, your residency will not have to depend on hers. So it's up to you to be patient or get your own sponsorship.

In the meantime, you guys can start with a joint account, all bills, debts and family expenditure is done from the joint account so that there won't be the issue of who is responsible for what. At month end, 80% of your incomes goes into the joint account, 20% is left for personal use.

Where are the posters who were boasting about how incredibly highly skilled dependents are, and how the UK is afraid of their talents 👀

This is highly insensitive of you and uncalled for.

Is people like you that will pay keen attention to their friend's problems so that they can have story to tell when the friend thinks they want to help.

If you cannot profer solution don't compound the problems.

I need info please. This 3 months requirement, is it the online application or the biometrics?

Hkana:
With this new law, what happens to families already in the UK? Like, couples wanting to each do a degree after the other has rounded off their studies? (Husband came in for Msc and brought family with the plan that when he finishes, his wife would then go for her msc) Would the new dependents have to go back?

Cc Zahra and semmyk

Abeg no make laugh this morning 🤣🤣🤣

The family will go back because they won't be granted dependent visa to a student.

But no too think am, there'll be a way out.

hustla:
I dont think the ones with visa already will have issues

If you have visa, you are here already even if your body is not here 😉

LagosismyHome:
This should not affect them.... it would be new applicants. If you don't have family or friend support on ground, with the current housing crisis it is not easy bringing everyone at once

By new applicants, do you mean new dependants or new students?

If the regulation is passed, you are a student here and your family is not here already, just forget it.

If this is your position, just go do urgent priority o (the 2 days own).

With this news everywhere about UK banning int'l students from bringing in their family.

Advocates of "come first bring your family later", I'll like to hear from you

Emmy2023:
For me there isn’t any excuse to this, the mistake is mine, I made reservations based on what was in my reach. All I asked for was advices and assistance as I’ve already made the mistake. Thanks

When you were travelling, did you withdraw all your money, tied in a sack and threw it away?

Or would you have postponed your flight and deferred your resumption on the assumption that 'your new employer IN UK may owe you salary from day 1'?

Except you were expressly told there may not be work to do, then it is your employer who should be called to order here.

Lexusgs430:
Oya post your account details make I transfer you £750 from my revolut account......... 🤣😂

Ah, miracle no dey tire Jesus.

I go DM you

koonbey:
I don't

If it was a normal contract the employer would be liable to pay in full at the end of every month for as long as the contract subsists, regardless of whether they give shifts.

I've been thinking about this as well. There is a minimum salary requirement for tier 2 visa. So the employee is supposed to be paid in full whether there is shift or not.

Here is the issue, he who wants equity must come with clean hands. If the employee reports none payment of salary to HO, HO will take action. But they can't report because the company will go down and they'll lose their jobs.

davide470:
If I am doing a transaction with anyone and the person mentions Revolut, that is the end of the deal. Revolut = Opay/Kuda. It is a very useless "UK bank"

Because of their crypto wokeness with minimal security checks in place, a lot of people have been scammed.

Revolut is the goto bank for scammers. They can issue account number without account name.

If you wan dash me money and you mention revolut, I no take again, keep your money. Talk more of na me wan give you money.

Dear ancestors in the house,

Good day.

I want to apply for car insurance and would like to know which is more cost-effective: whether to buy the insurance with my International driving permit or to first apply for a UK provisional license.

For the preliminary insurance searches, I was seeing annual cost of £700 for a 2010 1.5L engine SUV (insurance group 17E, married, 30-40yrs). Seems quite high to me. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Tenks.

Buy the insurance on the license you want to drive the car with. If you intend to drive with you int'l license, buy the insurance on it. If you intend to drive with provisional license, buy the insurance on it.

If you buy on the provisional license and any incident happens, your insurance is automatically invalidated if you didn't meet the requirements to drive with it (i.e being accompanied by someone and have L plates on the vehicle) and you won't be able to make any claims.

Lexusgs430:
Your only option is a personal loan, or get someone you know to apply on your behalf.........

Nah £18,000 you want make someone for this thread, just drop like that........ 😂😭

The guy blood dey hot.
If this good one go, another good one will come.
Na so e be.

Solumtoya:
With the current rates, many Mortgage payments are higher than rents. Typically, someone in a 2 bed flat paying £800 gets a Mortgage for 3 bed house and monthly payments jump to £1,500 or more.

If affordable, it's a good opportunity EVEN with the increased payment.

You're right, the talks of rent being (almost) the same as mortgage payment was before. Now the difference is clear.

But if it's affordable, mortgage is good.

koonbey:
Anyway, like someone asked, you, justwise, hustla and co should quickly tell us the name of your workplaces so that others can benefit and potentially access these your £80k+ jobs that are not ‘survival jobs Brits don’t want to do’, so that we can be like the Indians. Oya o. Shebi your own workplaces too are recruiting.

I'm waiting o, please share the names of your companies...we must be like indians today.

Zahra29:
This is only relevant if it was known that justwise's company was hiring and he was directly asked for the company name by someone hoping to try their luck there.

Why do you think justwise's company is not hiring?
Why do you think the OP's company is still hiring (they just concluded a recruitment cycle that employed OP)
I am asking directly, so why do you think I don't want to try my luck?
What is wrong with justwise sharing the name of his company.

I'm sure I have been able to make him understand why OP didn't answer the question.

justwise:
You surely can do better than this...i mean if i paste name of companies here how will you know that i worked there or that they know who justwise is?

In your mind you have answered my questions. Now let me tell you the difference between you and the OP.

The OP openly said he will not answer the question, that is from a place of boldness.

You have stylishly dodged the questions, that is from a place of timidity.

Viruses:
What is the name of the company you currently work with?

If you don't mind, please list the other companies you have worked with in UK in reverse chronological order.

One more favour, please list the names of the companies you worked with in Nigeria.

Let's not be selfish.

Thanks.

And just before we move on from this matter. I am certain that justwise has seen this but cannot provide the information asked. Isn't it laughable that he called the person that did same selfish?

I have always said it that it's easy to condemn people from afar. In their shoes we will do worse.

Na who no dey house dey arrest police.

Those looking for the name of that particular company, please don't take it too personal. Just go to indeed, filter by remote jobs and location, you will be alright.

The continued persistence for the name of that particular company is becoming a course for concern.

justwise:
Lets not dance around this, the person in question is just selfish, what will happen if he shares the company's name?

hustla is right

What is the name of the company you currently work with?

If you don't mind, please list the other companies you have worked with in UK in reverse chronological order.

One more favour, please list the names of the companies you worked with in Nigeria.

Let's not be selfish.

I held Transcorp Nigeria plc shares for 15 years from N7 and l averaged down to N1.4 until this year when Otedola came and helped me moved the share price to N3.12 to N3.15 where sold the shares currently.

My brother bought some shares in Nigeria like 15 to 20yrs ago. The last time we spoke, I asked him if he has collected dividend, he said he's the one owing the company now 😂😂

Lexusgs430:
That family friend is a gambler and requires rehab......... Who does that....... 🤣😳

Funds you put on the stock market, must be with a long term view....... Even when stocks are under preforming, it's still a floating loss (until you sell a losing position or firm goes belly up).........

It's very easy...just keep buying the deep to average your buy position until the firm goes under and stock delisted.

You see that word "buy the deep"... 😁

Alternatively, sell to cut loss...but as soon as you sell, stock starts performing and you buy at a price higher than you sold. Repeat the cycle.

Deleted.

Las las we go dey alright.

Kaybee7000:
Boss hope it is not what am thinking ? Let endure till may bro, everything go soon soft

What is this

If Europe don soft pass UK make una give us update o

Omo, this health care CoS don expensive now o. I know it used to be around 5 million when it started, someone was telling me an agent told he 12 million.

Why has it become this expensive, is it because of increased demand.

As it is, maybe the way forward will be to anonymously report these agencies make the worse happen. Because truth is you need staff, so why charge such amount.

Hi all,

Someone should please recommend me a good clipper I can order online here in UK. One that would be suitable for my personal Afro cut 😁.
Maximum budget is £40.

Thank you 🙏

I use this (though I keep low cut, the configurations will be good for afro too). I particularly like this because it is washable and cordless.
