Una good morning oh.

Lexusgs430:
Buhari is no longer coming..... Maybe he could not afford the Jet A1 fuel.........

Na because of you and Nnamdi Kanu wey make him postpone the medical checkup

BouharryArtikou:
YES.
YES again.

Corruption in Nigeria ensured I didn’t get the best education I deserved.

Corruption in Nigeria meant I couldn’t get the job I am qualified for.

Corruption in Nigeria meant I couldn’t get the scholarship Eventhough I was the best.

Corruption in Nigeria meant the son of someone who knew someone who was connected to someone from the ‘right’ religion and the ‘right’ ethnic group was given the scholarship instead of me.

Corruption in Nigeria meant that Buhari was going to land in london today for treatment.

Yes.
I ran away from nigeria because of the corruption.

You’ve won this debate with all these points you raised. I give it up.

justwise:
Wouldn’t you be happy if our politicians sleep around and keep their hands off public purse ?

If they keep there hands of the purse, how would dey finance there mistresses

TheGuyFromHR:
Nigeria is more openly corrupt.
Obodo oyibo corruption is well hidden.

May your days be long my brother ..

BouharryArtikou:
If Nigeria was less corrupt than Britain.
If Britain was more corrupt than Nigeria.

Trust me, this whole thread, this ENTIRE Nairaland thread about Life in the UK wouldn’t exist.
Some, nay, ALL of us on this thread would have been in in the less corrupt one - Nigeria.

Was it as a result of corruption that made you decide to migrate from Nigeria to Uk ?

sgtponzihater1:
If our leaders where double dating, and thing moved a quarter and smooth as it does here. No basis for comparing. Nigeria is fantastically corrupt 100%

Corruption na corruption…. Do you actually think Nigeria is more corrupt than the Uk? .. before you answer this question go into British history…

dustydee:
Exactly my point. He too cheated on his ex-wife with his current wife and cheated on his 1st wife with his last ex-wife. Who knows what will happen with this one

The British politicians are experts in double/multiple deeping like say them attend deeperlife….
Later some idiot (David Cameron) will say Nigerians are fantastically corrupt

dustydee:
I am waiting for Boris to sack Matt Hancock over his alleged affair . Will he be bold to do that? He is guilty of same although the PM can claim COVID-19 was not a factor then. Let's see.

That will not happen. Have you seen him sack any of his other cabinet members since all their controversies started popping up almost every week?…
You will be surprised Boris is also having an affair with one of his back room staffs. British politicians and extramarital affairs na 5&6

Leave the cement with the seller, jejely .... Don't buy yet, don't pay for it & don't pay any deposits......

When you are ready, start the buying process...... If you buy it now, two things could happen... :-

- Theft
- Becomes harder than olumo rock......

Thank you. … I was just worried about the prices of building materials constantly on the rise

In other news.
Is it advisable to purchase cement now for a project due in January 2022?
How long does Nigerian cement last for before it goes bad ?

descarado:
If you plan to go back to naija, do housing investment there.
Housing in UK as an investment is headache . Big high blood pressure
Yields very poor returns. And you can easily lose your house if.........
Our people once in UK rush to do that and are trapped forever.

Some Britons will tell you why they are not keen in going into that and they make cool cash.

Did you actually write this stuff or u copied it from somewhere?… can’t believe this

foxyvisa:
To answer your first question, no i am not giving myself BP. I explained its because of school admissions timing.
2nd, your maths is correct but July 2023 visa expiration translates to me living in the UK for 5 years 7 months. Gov.uk it states, You must complete 5 years of continuous residence in the UK. Which for me ends 30th December 2022.
Like you said, when it's time I will go ahead and apply, hopefully the 5 years calculation is accepted, fingers crossed �

Ok I get your point now… everyday we learn new things. All the best with your application.

foxyvisa:
Good day house. Its being quiet in house for weeks. Please I need clarity on my 5 years indefinite leave to remain (ilr) calculation.
I am on the 5 years route. My BRP first issue was 11th December 2017 (11/12/2017). Arrived UK 30/12/2017. I have been given extension and it expires 21/7/2023. With this calculation, (date of first issue to expiry) its 5 years 7 months.
In order to qualify for 5years ilr application, should I wait till my BRP expires 21/7/2023 (which will be 5 years 7 months)? Or can I calculate exactly 5 years from date of issue 11/12/2017, which will be 11/12/2022 and apply?
To summarise my date of first issue to expiry is 5years 7months but I want to apply exactly 5years from first issue (due to school admissions timing). Please I need the house opinions, must I wait till brp expires (28 day rule considered) or simply calculate 5 years from first brp issue. Thanks.

If I understand you clearly, you saying your FLR will expire on 21/7/23. If this is the case why would you want to give yourself high BP by applying for indefinite far before the expiration of your current visa ?. Where are you rushing to?.
It is stated clearly 28 days before expiration for a reason. If my maths is still correct 28days should be around ending of July 2023 (say 23-25)….If you are too eager you can attempt to apply and tell us the outcome…..

Abba114:
i wont go where people will be calling me mongo, paki, black fvck, chimp and other names like that just to get food

My brother are you aware you fellow Naija brother can use a white mans picture/ profile to chat you up ?.
Meanwhile you said you are unemployed and yet you are busy chatting white people online ? Are you teaching them online tutorial or something else ?…. A black person can still racially abuse you even in Nigeria wey u dey…
In conclusion I can categorically tell you that if you have the opportunity to move overseas you’ll grab it with all 4 legs. Then you go forget all these tails

erico2k2:
nah stupidity not money, cos with money he could afford Ubar!

U Absolutely right. It was suggested to him to use taxi and pick the car the next day. Him no agree.

Temitopegold221:
Hello everyone , I have been here looking for a job for over four months now, please does anyone know any local agency in East London, that can help facilitate a job, the Asians in my school are asking that I pay 350 pounds to help get a job with their agent, please help a sister

Part time or full time jobs?

Please Let’s all be guided. Don’t drink and drive in the UK
I went out last night to London to meet up with old work colleagues and friends at Regents Park. One of my friends who also happens to be an engineer like myself secured a job few months back that pays him over £75k + £15k bonus and a 2021 plate BMW. He was asking me to leave my company and look for more money. I said baba I’m comfortable at my job and I’m trying to stay and I’ve not thought of moving elsewhere yet. After listening to him rant about his recent achievements I almost felt I was doing bad in my career. I was surprised he drove this new car into Central London. Anyways I left regent park at 09:00 pm to catch my train back home. Only for me to wake up this morning with the news that my friend was involved in an accident and his new car has been written off. He was also arrested last night as it appears the accident was very serious. I called his phone this morning m and the a police lady pick up the call and said he will give me a ring later.
My guy needs his driving license for his job, which means he has lost the job. he was driving under the influence of alcohol and weed. He might go to jail depending on police evidence..
The moral of the story remains please avoid the temptation of drinking even if na 1 bottle and driving. Also don’t let no another person achievements make you feel less about yourself….
Let me go and look for my friend

Speak to people on the street, to introduce you to the delights of IPTV..............

Which street?. Peckham high street or Caledonian Road

Lexusgs430:
When you can obtain all certificates, you can start with a company like kwikfit......

Then progressively become a mobile mechanic..... Get a van and enough tools..... Word of mouth, social media and networking, would very quickly fill your diary up.......

Be good at what you do and business patronages would follow you........

In addition with what my uncle has said, your good works will attract recommendations/good reviews so be good at the work you do.
Not everything is about racism. Even for Nigeria if you be bad mechanic nobody go near your shop make you no spoil there motor…
And for your information no time is too late to switch to a new career.

[/b]

Absolutely! Finally someone got it.

Most of you guys shouting up and down would do worse from what I can see here… hypocrites

But oga Justwise no vex un-ban Ralph. Let peace reign so they won’t be comparing you with Buhari and hitler biko

Please you guys should leave our UK girls to dress the way they like. We love it like that .
If you don’t like it close you eyes and waka pass. Me I like it, besides the heat is too much for summer.

Ilekokonit:
True talk. Persistence trumps all .

I received so many "[b]we are sorry" emails that it stopped bothering me after some time. It

That really touched home…I had similar experience after graduation without relevant engineering experience. It was loads of sweet worded replies of rejection “Unfortunately you haven’t been successful” … but no relenting like you said.

Regex:
Please, does anyone know any reliable courier I can use to ship from UK to Nigeria?

Contact this lady (Mamatukwas)
She’s on this platform.

Regex:
Just at my work place though I have quit the place.

One of the bosses there took I and some other black people (Nigerians) to be precise. Gave us the dirtiest hardest job ever, we worked and didn't go for the second break. We were tired, we murmured amongst ourselves that we were tired, I told them when I see the boss I'd ask him to let us have our break, when the boss came, I asked him, instead of these Nigerians to back me up, they kept mute and I thought to myself, if this guy gets mad and decides to fire, he could fire me easily without problem and probably paint me thr bad guy, but the many Nigerians never talked they kept mute.


This is really a problem.

That one na suffering and smiling (Nigerians love that medication)... it’s a reflection of our society both past and present

That’s where you got it all wrong, man! Politics is not about betrayal, but rather about trust. If the bolded is your understanding of politics, I can tell you for a fact, that your political career will not last, if you have any. Politics, like most endeavours in life, is all about trust. I will say no more on this matter, lest I cross the line.

Trust pilot
My man said trust you know ?
You don’t use the term “trust” in politics my friend.... politics (101)
Especially in Nigerian politics

icon8:
If you were referring to me (I’m only guessing because you did not quote me), I’m not from a village. And yes, I can visit my home confidently and safely. I’ll be making a trip soon, in case you want to instruct those anarchists and arsonists to lay in waiting. My state is relatively safe and peaceful, we do not burn government institutions and security outfits where I come from. We believe in the power of the ballot, and we are always patient until the next election cycle to elect or change our leaders. We do not call for arms or insurrection when things are not going our way politically. Nor do we threaten secession through killing and destroying. We wait, change, and change the change when necessary. That is the beauty of democracy.

City boy
Keep deceiving yourself.....

icon8:
Now I get the gist lol. “They are all failures, but one failure is better than the other”? Yeah, right!

I wasn’t comparing, I only set the records straight about the “Jonathan was betrayed” part of your post. He wasn’t betrayed, he only reaped what he sowed when he betrayed those that helped him into power.

You didn’t set any record straight. If anything you’ve broken the record

On a serious note my man. Can you tell us which President that wasn’t helped into power ?
Obj was helped , ya Adua was helped , Jonathan was helped and even Buhari was helped into power. That’s how politics works. You have to befriend everybody so as to win an election and after election you kiss them goodbye.

We can deceive others but we can’t deceive ourselves.

I’m not a politician (Pdp or apc or whatever). But I can confidently say Nigeria was safer pre-2015 than now.
The likes of Buhari and his cronies orchestrated bokoharam to frustrate Jonathan and now the same bokoharam has boiled out of control.
Even as at that have you seen where any member of this government condemn the atrocities of bandits/ killer herdsmen or bokoharam?...
Did you hear where they condemned the shooting at lekki toll gate ?
Instead they were busy putting up propaganda here and there.
And yet you’ll come here and be saying “you were betrayed by Jonathan”
Can you even visit your village without thinking about your security?

icon8:
No one betrayed Jonathan. If anything, he was the one that betrayed those that rallied around him when Yar’Adua died and subsequently gave him the ticket for another term to complete their tenure (Yar’Adua/Jonathan’s second term). Legend has it that he promised he would not be seeking another term for himself and he would allow power to return to the North in 2015. However, he reneged on that agreement, claiming there was nothing like zoning in Nigeria’s constitution. That was what made a lot of prominent people to turn their backs on him, including Obasanjo, Kwankwanso, Saraki, Wamako, Amaechi, and their nPDP co-travellers, but he arrogantly claimed they all had no electoral value and he could win without them. That was how we ended up with Buhari, who had thrice contested without success. His final emergence was more of a payback (protest vote) against Jonathan, not a betrayal as you’d want us to believe.

PS: I’m not a Buhari supporter (not anymore) but I was one of those that felt betrayed by Jonathan (who we massively supported against Turai and the cabals in 2010-2011) and I believe that actions must have consequences. Jonathan was no saint, let’s not start reminding ourselves of all the atrocities he committed by himself or through proxy.

I don’t know where u read the bolder from but anyways I’ll rather have corrupt Jonathan, than deadbeat Buhari ....
If you actually read my statement, you would have seen where I stated that “they are all corrupt”...
Don’t even try to compare Jonathan’s administration to Buharis because you’ll loose this debate..
Buhari has once been a failure when he was a commander in chief and he has been repeating this backwardness since 2015 and yet you talking about Jonathan.... I’m waiting for you to outline the failures of Jonathan that outweighs buharis failure. You can’t even compare ObJ 8yrs to Jonathan’s 6yrs ...

justwise:
Nigerians don't deserve better than Buhari, we are who we are.

We are good at writing pages after pages of complain but lack the backborn to take action.

We will still vote in another useless president after Buhari

I see Tunibu loading 2023
