You have said it all!

Imagine the pettiness! Disgusting!

Don't take it too personal na.

socialmediaman:
OP It happens every day. Did you ask for financial contribution when you wedded and he didn't contribute? or this came up because he's asking? What you do in response is up to you. Most people will return the favor, not only because of tit for tat but because they'll feel cheated. Again, it's up to you.

I didn't ask him and I didn't take it to heart. It just occurred to me when he asked and was even asking me my travelling plans to the wedding because he is wedding in another state as well.

Nigerians and their fake owanbe love

If they give and you don't give back, problem. If they upload your birthday photoshoot and you don't, wahala. Peace of mind is very very key in this life sha.

@op, I'm yet to see where or how he asked for money.

He asked after sending the IV

Fairandlovely:
Let bygone be bygone cos no one knwz 2mao,,help him in anyway u can just 2 prove dat u're more matured than him

Touching comment I must admit, but I'm not that nice.

Mariangeles:
Did you ask him for financial assistance during your own wedding planning and he refused to help?

I didn't ask him, same way I didn't ask those that helped.

I have a friend that didn't contribute financially to my wedding ceremony, He didn't even attend perhaps because the wedding was in another state, can't tell. I know this guy has money because he is my colleague and we are on the same pay grade Not as though I was expecting anything from anybody as I could chest all the bills, but it came to my consciousness when he sent me his wedding IV and asked for financial assistance. In my mind I was guy na happy married life you tell me, expect same.

Honestly, when you see friends supporting each other in events, some could be first time while others are sort of returned favours, so if you don't do for somebody, don't even expect people to do for you.

Has this happened to you before? share your experience.

Nauttyprof:
Your reasoning is just something else. I hope you know that the autopsy done in Delta wasn't carried out by the family but by the Police. When the case was brought back to Lagos, the same Police decided to carry out another autopsy.

The same police o. If this is true, why police dey doubt police?

DonTattaglia:
Where is d evidence? It should have been recorded or videoed..

I'm just wondering the source of the names of the seniors in question. I have a strong feeling that they have something to do with the boy that's not right even if it's not the death. Why them out of everybody in the school?

Na wa o

But is it true that the boy mentioned the names of his alleged attackers before he died?

yolkman20:
You're amazing, thanks so much.

Use your head o, forget say we are beginning to interact like family here. You should only pay to landlord or legitimate agent (exception is when someone is subletting without the landlord's approval).

I would think that the idea would be presented and then further conversation can happen offline if you are interested.

phyl123:
It’s not a good sign at all, it could be that there’s something dead somewhere between the walls or the flies are hibernating somewhere in the apartment.

Why you wicked like this

phyl123:
Winter has not started yet…

Just joking….

I was happy when I read about somebody that was seeing flies in his apartment because is sign of spring

If it’s the energy bill thing, I will advice you look for another house when you are more settled or stayed in the present place above 6months. The house is D and depending on the type of D ( I mean close to E), the bill might be same or even higher. I Will advice you get an apartment with the C. I know it’s hard to get, but the bill might be a ginger.

We almost started considering houses on EPC rating D when the search was crazy. But we are lucky to have gotten an EPC C (close to B) and our bill is £126 (gas n electric) fixed for a 2bed. The good thing is our tariff won’t change until the contract is over.

If it’s cold, then this is a friendlier one. Last winter in Glasgow, there was a straight 5 - 7day snow and the snow was thick on the ground and windows. Thick like building blocks. So enjoy this one and prepare for a tougher one ahead.

It's the cold o.
I'm not so bothered about the bill because it will be seasonal (4 months in a year) and I like this apartment.

This your bill, is it fixed as in regardless of what you consume?

It's my first winter here and I'm already scared of the next.

mizGene:
Our ppl always muddying the waters for others...smh
I saw an advert the other day, a website offering this service to prospective students.

The advert don plenty for Instagram.

There's a country (Germany I think, not exactly sure) that require you to open an account there and they'll be releasing the money to you small small after arrival. If UK go that route, e don cast for who never cross be that.

I have 2 tariffs, day and night.
I have permanently turned off the water heater for like a month now. I use electric jug to boil water whenever we want to bath because we bath once in two days.

Chreze:
We talk about fees and financial stuff a lot on these threads (here n student), I think we need to talk more about how to manage some situation too (situations like this). A lot of people are traveling for the first time and there is this old mindset that whites are not nice or racist and all that. This old tales make people hold things inside instead of asking for help.

These guys are nice I must admit, at least the ones I've met. But rather than blame the victim for not doing what he does not know how to do, we should blame the school authorities for doing the wrong thing.

Peerielass:
Therein lies the problem! Does your meter have two readings ie a day and night reading? If your accommodation has storage heaters you should be on the economy 10 tariff and not the standard tariff.

On economy 10, you will have two tariffs. One for the night which is usually cheaper and a standard day tariff. The storage heaters will be wired to the night tariff while the rest of your appliances will be on the standard tariff. The storage heaters are meant to charge up during the night when electricity is cheap and then release heat during the day. They should be on 24/7 so they can charge up when electric is cheap but you can set them to release the heat at certain times of the day.

I used to live in a 3 bed all electric house with 3 storage heaters and my monthly DD was less than £120. I think you need to have a conversation with your landlord and electric provider.

It's dual, has day and night rates.

Hwy9:
You may consider getting those small heaters too for your room. What's your EPC rating?

EPC rating is D

TheGuyFromHR:
If its just you two on electric heating and you're paying 170 quid a month, you need to get yourself some thick sweaters and duvets fast (think teddy fleece), then you need to do something about moving to a dual-fuel house. Do the usual DIY draught-proofing where you can, by stuffing old clothes under the doors and around the windows, change your curtains where you can for the heavier type, etc., but ultimately start to plan to move.

When I lived in Aberdeen, I was on full electric heating with the old storage heaters (the so-called OAP heaters, because they're only good if you are at home during the day, you can't stop the heat being given off, you can only turn it down to the lowest setting, so while they charge overnight at a lower tariff, when you come back from school/work in the evening, they've given off all their heat) and I think then electricity prices where about 3 times gas prices per unit. At current prices, I can only imagine what people on electric heating are/will be paying now.

I will try the stuffing things, I'm sure it will conserve heat too.

Endlessgrace:
I think you mentioned earlier that your heater is electric and not gas, that might be the problem. There’s this platform where people with electric heaters were moaning about their energy bills due to the heaters. Some even advised it’s best to avoid such houses like plague.

True, I heard electricity is more expensive.

babranancy:
Hi everyone, my employer needed my bank details for my payroll but i was having a delay in opening account with natwest bank so I rushed and opened Monzo online bank. My question is, Monzo bank is it a good bank for banking as someone was telling me that the banking options in Monzo are limited and there is usually in it, please I don’t know how true this is.
I just recently migrated so I don’t this things very well

I use Monzo as salary, no issue but I want to change to Lloyds because I'll need credit card sooner than later, that I can get from Lloyds when they see my account activities.

Peerielass:
I’m assuming this is a one bed apartment and if so, your monthly bill is quite high even for an all electric house. What kind of heaters do you have? Are they storage heaters?

Storage heater in the palour, barely used. Normal heater in the room, turns off when the room is quite warm. Can't wait for winter to be over.

justwise:
That is high, reduce your heating and cover up with some winter clothing, I don't know how cold your house is but you need to do something else that figure will go up

Hmmm. OK

Please can I get an idea of monthly electricity bill.
Heating in one room always on (regulates itself though), fridge always on (regulates itself as well), electric cooker, microwave oven, electric jug, laptop and phone. No TV even.
Mine is £170. Scared of what it will become post increment.

profemebee:
The electricity bill is too high if you live alone.. you need to manage it before April 2022 comes when it will further increase..

do you live alone? family?

that 24hr heater hmmmmmmmmm

I live with my wife but we only use one room together, never put on the parlour heating as we hardly go to the parlour because of cold.
No water heating as well. Only fridge and electric cooker then laptop.

Mamatukwas:
Issa lie from the pit of hell.

There's no regulation that states that these must be provided as well. Its up to you to keep searching till you get a house that meets your requirements.

Yeah?

What govt. has mandated house owners to provide is fire/smoke detector/alarm and that the house should be habitable and free from health risk.

Lexusgs430:
Bills are going up by over 52% per annum........

And salary is going up by 3%. Abeg which handwork person fit do join this office work like this?

Hello guys,
My electricity provider is British gas. When I log into my account on a daily basis, I see an increment of £5.5 in my bill. I contacted them and they said that's what I use daily.
They said I am already on their lowest tariff which is Standard Variable tariff that I am free to change tariff if I want. Now my average monthly electricity bill is £170. I use one heater (always on because I work from home), no gas in my apartment. Is this on the high side or it's ok considering we are in winter?

Note: they said they use my meter reading but they sill bill me 5.5 daily. How come it is constant.

I have some funds that I'm not using now and hoping to invest it. When I checked Monzo, I saw like 0.3 pounds as interest for savings. I was thinking of mutual funds in Nigeria but again it will cost me to transfer my pounds across border and vice versa. What are the investment options here, which bank has mutual funds. My money is too idle please.

Apologies if this issue has been dealt before, difficult going through the pages.

Thanks.

Lexusgs430:
NO ........
