This stress taken to take okomu palm oil frm here to UK shey e worth am ni?

Lexusgs430:
Why not explore purchasing locally?..... Is that cheap, in comparison............

Lexusgs430:
Are you getting the device free from the USA?...

Lexusgs430:
Why not just use normal post or DHL?..... It would arrive in under 7 days (but be prepared to be slammed an import duty fee)......

For phones you gave eBay/gumtree/FBMP etc etc...... Very risky though........

You could buy the phone legitimately, but a few weeks or months later, seller blacklists it.........

Best to spend £200 buying a new mid ranger, than £600 on a used flagship, that later gets blacklisted.........

Yes you are exempted from paying council tax, but you need to email your tax exemption certificate from your University to your council with your details. That is what i did, as i am in the same shoes with you, make i enjoy council tax freedom for one year at least.

If you are in full time education, Yes.
If you are in part time education, and on a Tier-2 visa, I would say... Forgerrit...
But I may be wrong

Phenmeson:
You can only renew your passport when is less than 6months. Your Passport number will be different from the old one.

LagosismyHome:
Nigerian rule states you can only renew your passport 6 months to expiration date . Meaning September can be renewed only from March.

Whether they keep to that rule is another conversation , but since you are in Nigeria. You can easily check if it can be renewed

Phenmeson:
100% your passport will not be the same

erico2k2:
trust me it much better you renew your passport there ohh

Bourne007:
Ask for Council tax exemption letter from your Uni and forward if you qualify. Some councils will ask for student ID and they will verify directly with the uni.

erico2k2:
nah this wahala , make me dey renew my passport for 9ja only wen I get one year left

LagosismyHome:
Google or the school would be the best to check on this . Personally I dont know . I checked on open university as I know it is an online program and it states open university students dont qualify as it classified as "part time study "..... so I guess same will apply to you as you are working as well as school so the schooling would be part time

LagosismyHome:
Make sure it comes furnished.... since you are a student do not touch any flat that comes unfurnished.

2 bed or 1 bed will be a personal choice. .. council tax is exempt for student so the other difference in bills light, gas, electricity might not be so much between the two.

erico2k2:
nah this was from ages ago,it has been declining since 2002 yeh that far back.The nearest place to go out would be Hull! across the humber bridge!

realking:
This is only applicable to spendings from Naira account abroad. Currently in most bank, domiciliary account can move up to 10k USD every 2 weeks

erico2k2:
you need to know the mkt rate ie abokifax, then target people who send money to 9ja monthly cos they do in bulk ie 1k to 2 k pounds

erico2k2:
Wow, not a nice review. Was it Covid-19 induced? Anything i can find "fun" in the location?
Security abd social status? Ease of life? Cheap livelihood?


Grimsby is a dead or dying town, no offence, it was o nce a fishing stronghold, but all of its industries has wound down. apart from Healthcare life is a struggle!

tshoboy:
The NIGERIAN BDC stores would sell at which rate? CBN� or which?

By account you mean my 9ja dorm account?

The reality is that it’s difficult to bypass the black market. Even if you open a domiciliary account, you will still need to source the FX to be deposited there from black market as I am not sure Nigerian banks will sell FX for you to deposit in a domiciliary account.
With black market. You can leave the Naira in your Nigerian account. When you get here, you will eith er
1. sell the Naira on this platform like a number of people do or
2. If you will be based in London. [b]Walk into any of the Nigerian BDC stores and sell to them. [/b]They will give you £ in cash and some of them can transfer to your £ account. [b]Transfer to your account [/b]is preferable because UK banks can be moving mad with large sum deposits.

TheGuyFromHR:
This is your only viable option (including any pounds to naira in Nigeria deal a private individual might offer you).
You can't transfer any meaningful amount of naira out of Nigeria as most banks have limits around $200.
