My thought exactly, this will be really embarrassing to them when they start seeing many Nigerians still using the platform even with the ban.
Even inside Buhari house his wife and children will still be tweeting including Lie Muhammad. Somehow I feel Nigerians deserve Buhari as the consequence for betraying Jonathan. Even though they are all corrupt cool

I think we need to research and understand how most Asian kids still have strong ties to their community,languages, food etc even to the point of arrange marriages in this century.

Had an experience with 2 different black kids who got apprenticeship opportunities with Tier 1 contractors with very good pay and progression. And both managed to mess it up with one testing positive for drugs and the other not coming to work frequently which a white person might have gotten away with. It was quite painful to hear they lost such a rare opportunity and see their parent go through the heartache.
Wasted opportunity. A white kid or Asian child would use that opportunity and grow into the business. Bring there friends and relationships into the organisation. But for us na different story... (sometimes I wonder how God wire our brains) cry

Abeg oo UK elders and expert, should one report hitting a bollard to insurance or police? I have been reading conflicting resolution or advise online. The bollard wasn't damaged but the car door has a slight dent with split aluminium border strip.

Also, is it advisable one fix it out of pocket/use insurance/ or wait till the end of the PCP contract and see the deduction to be made. Don't want to advise on the wrong choice and cost avoidable expenses
Unless it’s badly damaged I’d advice you take it to local garage where they do body work to touch it up for u. Or u fit enter Halfords they’ve got some pen/ spray for minor dents. If u call insurance for that little scratch na u lose oh ......
But if na major dent, then use your insurer

Who said going to university is the key to success especially in the uk ?.

Below are 2 scenarios/Example (Child A and Child B)

Child A goes to university and graduates . He/she is already indebted to the government (student loan). He would find it almost impossible or at least 7/10 years of savings before he can get on the property leader.

On the other hand, Child B goes into an apprenticeship and within 3/4 years he/she has gained experience and possibly is a supervisor/ manager. He has no debt and can quickly get on the property leader.

Child A is searching for suitable jobs but isn’t lucky because he lacks experience. When he finally get a jobs, he meets child B as his supervisor/manager.

In conclusion unless your child is gifted academically, don’t force university into there head just to boost your ego amongst your peers. University doesn’t guarantee success.
These days you can go to university even when you are 80 (obansanjo et al..)

The NHS is saturated with Indians and i once worked at an NHS body where a guy invited his wife for interview as he was in charge of selecting candidates. And in my NHS office then majority of the staff were Indians and these are Indians who had not even spent 5 years in the UK.
It really doesn’t matter wether the NHS or any other work place is saturated with Asians/ Africans/or Eastern European’s. The question is are they doing the job properly? The answer is yes!!...

The white man started dealing with Asians long long time ago before they even started dealing with Africans...
Some of us actually forgot we are not in Africa or Nigeria. ..even for Nigeria that we have almost 98% of the population as black so we have a better working environment in our hospitals or schools? That answer is No.

Finally for a marriage to last long, both parties need to work things out together. No marriage, be it oyigbo marriage/ Asian marriage or African marriage is without (anthill). No marriage or relationship is perfect not even that of Prince Williams and Kate grin grin

Hi , I just got my first credit card with Vanquis bank with a limit of £250 . Please how is the best way to spend it especially if the purpose is to build a good credit score .
I’d advice u to start paying for your basic groceries shopping/ petrol or transport fare with your new credit card and repaying it immediately you get home or within a week. .... that would help create activities on ur card. Also make sure you never miss paying your bills (phone/electricity/etc) on time so avoid wahalla

Please I would like to know if anyone here has travelled to US or Canada while on UK tier 4 visa. I’m planning to apply for a visiting visa but my issue is that I don’t have anyone in US like family to invite me. What are my chances of getting the visa if I state that I’m only going for tourism just for a month. Thanks
Things might be different now. But I think you don’t need an invite to apply for tourist visa to the US.
In 2014, Few of my class mates that came to do master from Nigeria on tier 4 visa applied for US tourist visa and they all got it. ......
They all met the financial requirements.
But things might be different now as we know immigration laws constantly changes

I have been a member of this thread a long while now. I am hoping we are all as nice to each other in person day to day as we are here because truth be told, the few Nigerians I have met most especially at workplace are always either acting as if they are in some sort of competition, full of baseless pride, snobby and always seem to hoard information which tends to be fully shared amongst other colleagues as well as.
This is common amongst Africans in the diaspora, Nigerians especially. Nobody wants to see u do better than them, hence they hide information like you said.

Hi all, my spouse visa expires June 17th.. can someone please give me an estimated fee of what their IHS fee was? Yes I know it varies.. just need an idea please. Thank you
If you are applying for FLR, then it’s £600 for each year which would make it £1500 for 2.5 years visa. This is what I paid late 2019 when I applied for my FLR. This might have changed now so it’s best you check on there .Gov site

I’ll really like to know how a student that can’t even have a good credit card would be able to secure a mortgage or 100 - 300k. Unless you are a cash buyer. But then as a cash buyer you’ll have to show source of income as well as meet all money laundering regulations. But that’s not to say you can’t cut corners grin (rouge brokers everywhere)

As for our politicians buying houses overseas, They don’t really have to be residing in overseas before they can buy properties. There’s always a criminal somewhere that would help you facilitate these deals

Getting a mortgage is always better than renting especially if you looking to make a long term investment. Even if you planing on relocating back to Nigeria (god forbid) or anywhere else you can still hand it over to a vetted estate agent with guaranteed rent agreements signed into place.
If your politicians in African/Nigeria that’s steals thousand of £ monthly in entitlements and salaries, see the need to own houses as investment portfolio overseas then you must be mad not to do the same.
The worst case scenario you can’t pay your mortgage, you sell off and get your equity.

I just moved to the UK last month, London specifically. I would like to buy a car soon so it would be nice if someone can share their experience about buying a car, obtaining drivers license and generally, driving in the UK.

Thanks
My brother be calming down Biko. grin. Welcome to the abroad.
Have you got any licence at all (international drivers licence )
Buying a car is the simplest of your worries.
In Uk before you drive,
you’ll need to buy car insurance, tax you car, updated MOT certificate and so on.
Driving a car in London is very expensive putting into account congestion charge, paying for parking and the new ULEZ.
Most places in London has either train, tube or bus services so you don’t really need a car. But if you are desperate you can still buy you 2021 Lexusgs430 cheesy

Madam u don’t need to go to school again oh to improve your chances grin...
While you are still in your current occupation, still be searching for other jobs online with better salaries and then you’ll see the requirements. Then you’ll know what you have and what you don’t have. That’s how you’ll go about it. Apply for jobs even if you get rejected still keep applying, someone somewhere might need what you currently have and will train/ develop you into whatever there business goal is.

Hello house pls what is the highest gross salary one can earn in the UK?

Can one really save from this £1500 every month?
Thank you
There is no limit to how much you can earn (gross or net income), for this UK some people earn as over £500k a month , while others still dey earn £500 or below a month.
I think you should strive to get more more money if you can...
Taking home £1500 after tax is good but like madam (lagosismyhome) said it might not be enough depending on your location/city and responsibilities.
I’m not sure you can even live comfortably on that salary after bills, not to talk of living with your partner.but if u and ur husband dey work somehow una go fit save a little .

Keep improving yourself and always watch out for better qualifications and experience = better opportunities and pay

Is it easy to get a hardship loan from your place of work?

Thank you for your response.
I’ve not heard of hardship loan before but had to search on google just to be sure. This is what I found cheesy
Since you are working and not a victim of crime of violence, I don’t think you can access this fund. Here is the link

On your others question, there is no limit to collecting loans in the UK, provided you have a good credit record and you can meet there financial requirements. But personally I don’t think you should be spending money you don’t have. Because payback is a Muda4ker

I have attended many Nigerian churches in at least 4 different cities in the UK and i have also worshiped in white church when i was in Zimbabwe and i can honestly tell you that the difference is like day and night

Nigerian churches are far too materialistic , transactional, abstract promises and boogeyman(pastor) worship .

The relationship between some Nigerian pastors and their members is like that of North Korea and the citizens, Kim Jong-un is the only fat one while the rest are just surviving and nobody dare question the authority
The fear of African church is the beginning of wisdom.
