Phenmeson: Cheaper alternative. If you live in London, waka go Peckham. Ask most Paki stores that sell sims and repair fones dat you want to buy 9ja minutes. You can see Lyca, Lebara etc for 100-120mins for £6. After the minutes finish, u throw away the sim and yur village people will not be able to contact you. 1yr you can end up using 12-15sims to call 9ja Thank you. I dey live for Essex but I’ll go check some office license shop make I see wether they have these sims you talked about... |

Chreze: Hi Guys,
When traveling from Nigeria with a baby, do you get the exemption to carry your baby food and drink in his baby bag or will those immigration guys reject it. Traveling with a baby for the first time. I want to believe a baby should have access to his stuffs, but you know Naija like to make one angry, I am trying to avoid that.
If possible what best to pack aside diapers. Please people with experience help.
Thanks and Regards Depend on what you call baby food. If it’s baby powder milk/ formula, it’s ok as you will have to make the bottles on the plane. However everything thing would have to go through security scan as per standard international practice. My wife came to Nigeria with my then 5months on child when I was in Nigeria on family emergency and came with all the baby stuff and there was no issue on entry or departure.... I don’t expect Nigerian immigration officials to worry you but never say never in Nigeria Goodluck |

jesmond3945: I made it clear is racism, how you choose to react is totally different. In london people are more open minded, exposed and well travelled you cannot say the same for close minded areas in UK were people are much more traditional and not open to foreigners. The Op said he is comfortable whenever he travels to london. Finally, the Op is not comfortable with such stares and has the right to move to a more open minded area of the country were people are much more used to foreigners. Oboy tell me where u dey get this Egbo wey u dey smoke wey dey give u all this wisdom Biko. Cuz I want smoke am make I wise like u  |

badboitarzy: Good afternoon House,
My fellow people in Manchester please I need your help.
So I recently got a Graduate scheme job to start Sept 2021 in Manchester, Currently finishing my masters at Plymouth University. Although it is next year I want to start the ground work. I need nice areas that are reasonable prices for a 3bed house also good Primary school I have a 4yr old who is in reception and a 2yr old who will be going to nursery. My 4yr old actually goes to a good catholic primary school here in Plymouth. Manchester seems lively, Ive been there once but for a night out with my friend about 6years ago on a holiday. From my small research it looks like a place with loads of Jobs compared to Plymouth where I am and If we move hopefully that is where we settle as a family. (so the Job they have two offices one in eccles and another in the Northern quarter, I might work between both)
Also please I need links for a good barber in Manchester and are there like good african shops, naija restaurant links and places where my madam can make her hair. Cos this Plymouth where I am currently based is a dead zones(came here because the Master degree was decently cheaper), oyibo sometimes just dey look you funny. African shop just one and their prices are ridiculous 5kg bag of rice they sell £7.50... Sha demand and supply. Whenever we have chance we go to london to visit wife's family.
Thank you for your input looking forward to hearing from you guys. My brother I feel you... It is a good thing you are planing on moving from your current location to Manchester .. However there is subtle racism in every part of the UK. East, west south or north so moving down to Manchester won’t stop someone from staring at you or your kids. .... Each time anybody stares at you just take it as a compliment, that they are admiring a handsome hard-working black man .... It’s not everyday you see successfully family oriented black people. Personally I’m more worried about my so-called “fellow black people/ Nigerians” than white people and I’ve got a lot of reason why. |

Aliexpress have a reputation to protect, reviews are done when a purchase is completed on aliexpress and they are independent of the sellers. If u buy from aliexpress, some sellers will beg you not to give them negative review should u have any issues, they will plead u contact them before taking it to aliexpress.... Ok if you say so I rest my case ... Watin you go talk wey make them ban u  |

HiddenID: Yes, this is the deed poll method I mentioned earlier. Just wondering how this might affect our Nigerian documents and passport Since you living in the UK you focus on the one the Uk government require. Whenever you decide to move back to Nigeria permanently or as the case may be you do the Nigerian method. Besides by the time you renew her passport for Uk, her name would have been correctly to ur name so you won’t need to worry about change of name in Nigeria..... Hope this makes sense.. |

I have done some research and via deed poll is what's mostly recommended.
My confusion is, do we need to do it the UK way or Nigerian way (publishing on newspaper etc)?
Also, how do we go about this on our Nigerian passport?
I'll really appreciate some guidance.
