Any advice on how to get my naira in my Nigerian account transferred to my British pounds account here?

Abeg how una dey take pounds with your Nigerian money? Thanks

Open account with Lemonade, transfer the naira to yours Lemonade naira account then from there to your pounds account.

I use Lemonade Finance to send money to Africa. You get 10.00 GBP when you verify your account and send over 100.00 GBP with my referral link - https://referral.lemonade.finance/invite/X6dT

Use UREFRABA as referral code.

Laughing hard here.... abeg leave Mama Charlie and sons limited alone o.

Why on earth is Norwich stupidly expensive. Nothing dey here, yet house cost like kidney. I just dey vex. To buy house, 3 bedroom na from £300k.

Who else lives in Norwich here abeg?

When I checked the price of houses in Leicester, I gave up. Then used mortgage calculator to check and saw that I may be paying about £1500 monthly as mortgage.

Meanwhile I dey use ear hear say people dey pay £400, £500 as mortgage.

Hello everyone, please I will like to know the implication of studying a Masters course that's not accredited. I'm referring to an I.T course not accredited by BCS.

BCS is a professional body, they are not responsible for accrediting courses in UK universities

Good morning family.

I tagged my bag appropriately with my name and tag but this family dropped off at Sheffield and when I got to Leeds, I realized my bag wasn’t in the cabin.

So sorry to hear about this.
Did they leave one of the bags behind or they took all of theirs and your?

Perhaps someone knows if you can go back to the airport and get their details from the flight manifest.

Modified:
National express should have their details from the ticket they bought or booking they made. Also follow other suggestions that have been provided.

Hope we won't be dragging the position of the Queen when the time come like this.

Candidates contested free and fair election, one person won. What is the issue here?

Who is more competent to you may not be more competent to me and you can't force your candidate on others. And who said the more competent candidate must win election in politics.

If you are of colour and you think a person of colour is supposed to get the position, you're the real racist.

Chinlov:
talking about being fair, I think the British (Oyibo proper) have been fair enough to allow everyone a seat on the table and to take whatever you merit....and I also think it is fair that some of them should refuse to have a non 'proper oyibo' as their number one if they can help it...

Exactly...

Imagine a Russian being the president of Nigeria because he has a Nigerian passport and can speak English. Is that not Russia colonising us again?

Truth is reserving that position for themselves is fair. If you don't like it go back to your country.

justwise:
[/b]

That is not extreme but lets leave that aside.

This willingness to pick up a race card at every given situation is really uncomfortable.

Honestly...this should be discouraged. Because of the society we grew, there's the tendency to think nothing is fair. We should reset that mindset.

Things can be fair, not everything is partial.

I love using @TransferGo to send money abroad! Click https://my.transfergo.com/en/r/BqV9OF or use BqV9OF to try it for FREE yourself! #trytransfergo

I used your link but I've uninstalled the app. Which kind rate be that. As if they want to make all the profit in one day.

For the lifetime ISA where I get £1k per annum if I save the max of £4k per annum in the account. For the second year, am I to put in another £4k to get the second year's £1k or the first year's £4k will give me the second year's £1k?

I.e year 1: I put £4k, get £1k. Total = £5k.
Year 2: I put in another £4k, get 1k. Total = £10k

Or

Year 1: I put in £4k, get £1k. Total = £5k.
Year 2: do nothing, get £1k at the end. Total = £6k?

Who has transferGo referral link? I want to open account with them.

This bold ehnnnn. Indians have perfected this like a well oiled machine . Not just UK self , in USA na them dey grab majority of h1b. I give it to them shaA lot of them belive they rise by lifting their own .

Recently I met a Zimbabwe woman who has a care establishment. She brought 30 of her people, all given free Cos, but if it was a Nigerian.....never, we still dey learn for that department

The fellow Zimbabweans that came will help grow the organisation. On the other hand, the Nigerians will help run your organisation to the ground. I know what some of my employees back in Nigeria did to my business.

Even here, yesterday my wife made a Zimbabwean lady's hair and charged £60, the lady paid £70 because she was impressed. The Nigerians in our church were doing abeg, the very nice one was begging for £10.

Does any one have idea about affordable places to stay outside London for someone schooling in University of Greenwich?

Even if it's a bit far from London, i just want somewhere cheaper than London.

LagosismyHome:
This thing is something else.... even business, they will end up folding left and right if they can't pass this on to customers. Meaning job losses. The whole thing will turn out to be a major recession crises . ...

How can people cope with 85% increase when salary increase is hardly given

Will it lead to a drop in property prices?
I want to know the right time to buy.

Retweet!

In Nairaland, it is not called retweet, it is called reland

teeebest:
I had believed applying for provisional drivers license on gov.uk is straight forward until now o. Any information on how I can go about it is appreciated.

Select address outside UK and fill. That won't require postcode to be mandatory.

The news making the rounds on social media now is about the mummified bodies found in a ritualist den in Benin city early this week, you need to see that video...human beings were dried and stacked whole like kpanla fish, some never even dry finish.

Those are the outcome of get rich quick syndrome, yet we condemn the earnings of legitimate hussle.

rayralph:
Lmao, people saying £22k is shyte pay.

Nairaland isn’t reality sha.

Don’t let anyone on this faceless forum put a pressure on you.

Start from the bottom if you can.

We know them,
On social media they started earning the salaries of CEOs straight out of school, the story is different in real life.

Amarathripple0:
Actually it’s settling for peanuts. You can start from somewhere with better paying jobs. We need to dead this mindset that we have to start from scratch with jobs in fields we are well versed in unless it’s a completely new field. Nigerians get hired from Nigeria and move abroad to well paying jobs. Let’s not set the bar too low for ourselves, it’s very possible to get great paying jobs even if you are a newbie in a city. This isn’t even aspire to maguire, it’s the reality of people that I know that moved here, to the US and to Canada. #peace

We know una type, person like you will even accept less until something better comes but will come to social media to put others under high tension.

No offence intended please.

Amarathripple0:
I did not want to talk. 22k is shyte pay (excuse my french), earning 22k and after taxes and pension take out, what is the person left with. Please let’s not settle for peanuts all in the name of Japa. I take God beg una.

It's not called settling for peanuts, it's called starting from somewhere.

japro:
Hello House,

Please this is urgent. I hope to get response from experienced person.

I'd like to know if it's okay to list my employer's office address as the place I'll be staying in the UK on my visa application form because I haven't yet secured an accommodation.

Type of Visa: Skill Worker.

Please advise. Thank you.

Yes...that's what I used.

Trying to find the best possible means that's cheap and comfortable to get to yorkshire from Heathrow airport.
Have tried using the express coach. I cant seem to figure how the app works. Can you provide another solution pls


Bigtt76 seunoj viruses

Try Heathrow Airport to York (I'm assuming York is the same as Yorkshire just like Leicester => Leicestershire and Manchester => Manchestershire)

Your employer/sponsor should be doing these checks for you before issuing you COS.

Not necessarily. I got COS before I began my research on visa requirements like IELTS, TB certificate etc. I handled all these myself.

eniola1010:
Actually its not a critical issue. I suffer from severe acne, and the doctors here are just telling me rubbish like stop eating ground nut, stop taking oil and blah blah instead of them to test my blood and actually check the root cause.

Can u also help me answer the second and third question.. Seunoj drobum

2) yes, you apply for ILR after 5 years of tier 2
3) you can apply for visa for her as a partner, you'll need evidence of long term relationship like tenancy agreement bearing both your names, pictures together, bank transactions like you sending her money frequently etc. Please make further research on this because I'm not speaking from experience.

eniola1010:
Brother please i have another question

1) the nhis will cover most of my medical bills as a tier4 holder right? Because i have some minor minor medical issues i supposed to have checked here in naija but i'm just pending it till i am over there

2) also, once someone has worked legally under sponsorship for 5years, one is entitled to apply for ilr right?

3) lastly brother, i am going alone, i'd like to bring my gf too but not now, whats the best method u advise i follow. Marrying her hurriedly is not an issue.

Check your health issues in Nigeria before coming because you won't lose anything by checking it especially if it needs emergency attention. You can continue treatment here.

Access to health care here is not like Nigeria where you can just walk into a hospital. You might experience delays here.

icon8:
Is the bolded a precondition for the sponsorship?

If yes, I agree with you that that’s a long time to be miserable - perhaps you could negotiate down to 1 year?

If no, could you possibly take the offer and start the clock while you look for something better in 6 to 12 months?

The condition is not set by the company, it is govt's policy that you can only work for the company sponsoring you. So you will be doing yourself a disservice by trying to reduce the duration of employment. Better to get longer duration and switch company if you want later.

I have a friend who makes 14M+ naira in Naija off Devops gigs and interviews in the US

If I tell someone who's outside IT, probably a banker, he'll probably would call it lamba

Airinjina ni a o ri abuke okere

Per month or per annum?

onecoder:
Those roles are typically contract jobs.
Not everyone gets paid such and could be 3months or less. ( Outside IR35 or whatever they call it)

This makes sense...peeps just trying to put someone under pressure.
