See this Ijebu man....... How many years do you want to use a clipper..........

If you use the clipper on the average, once a week. You would use the clipper for over 6 years, without the need to sharpen it........

Abi you carry dada for head.......... Are you a marlian....

Growing up those days in PH, ijebu Garri was highly sort after. That’s how I first heard the name “Ijebu”... Anyways make I go smoke my Jamaican Egbo and wait for this table wey Lexusgs430 shake to settle down ....lol

Lexusgs430:
Human traffic is the only way the virus seems to travel....... Hence my poverty angle....

You might be right with the poverty angle ...
if person no fit afford water to drink, how can that person afford water to use wash hand or nyash ?.... Only God knows why he is merciful to us in Africa .....if not for him we for done extinct

marylandcakes:
Poor people tend to live in close proximity to one another, that’s one school of thought.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned that this vaccine is being tested on the poor people of Brazil mainly.

My sister you hear the number of deaths in countries like Brazil, Mexico, India and co ?...

I think if at all they trying out the vaccine in Brazil will mean the government of Brazil want to give die population a chance ....
person wey de die no go complain if him see 1% chance of surviving....... .....
Make I go smoke my Egbo before Lexusgs430 wake

Lexusgs430:
I would not argue with your view....... So those that died, did not use malaria medications?......


Madagascar apple juice, was nothing more than malaria medication............ (best to serve chilled).......

I’m sure you are aware if you have underlying medical conditions increases you chance to die once the virus hit you ?. ..

If you don’t practice good hygiene even god no go fit save u from disease hope you know too ? ..
Do you know that everything individual has a different body system ......

You can tell us why you think Africa isn’t as affected as the rest of the world ...lol.... no call poverty before I go send ikorodu boys come collect COVID-19 palliatives from your house ....

Lexusgs430:
Keyworkers in the UK, are majorly from the BAME sector of the society........

If people would naturally be affected, it would be from the BAME sector........


What is saving African countries are - :

- Poverty
- Visa restrictions

I think what saved African is the excessive consumption of anti-malaria medicine ..... we’ve been struggling with malaria from birth and most of our immune system would have been strengthened by these anti- malaria medication thereby making our system resistant to COVID-19 with us knowing.....

That’s the only explanation why we never die finish for COVID-19 for Africa ......

Me I dey fear this vaccine. The little microbiology/biochemistry courses I took at uni are coming back to me and I know that MRNA has to do with dna nucleus. There is no way I am going to allow anyone to inject another organisms dna into me. What of if like spider man the two DNA fuses to form a different organism?
Everything that is happening today we used to watch in films, so no one should come here and say it can’t happen because the truth is nobody really knows. It’s all trial and error.

Would you be waiting until one pastor find Devine vaccine from heaven .?lol..

Also bare in mind these same people produce paracetamol, anti malaria medication, cancer medication and all that ........... All die na die my dear

Yakeeboy:

Now you’ll incur unnecessary expenses as well as lengthy explanation to embassy......
Get those documents sorted and hopefully you’ll be successful..... all the best bro

Yakeeboy:
Hello house I have a pressing issue bothering me. My spouse currently is not bearing my surname on her passport but we have registered for another one which will be out probably by Dec 10 but the issue is her Tuberculosis test is scheduled for Nov 29 and her current passport bears her name. Please can she use her current passport for the TBS? Then use the new passport that will bear my surname for her visa applocation.... Will there be any issue. Please advise

I assume you guys have proof that you are married (I.e marriage certificate) also let her attach both passports when she’s making her appointment. I also think writing a letter explaining the situation would clear any doubt during the interview appointment... ...

More experience people will advice you further in a little while .... all the best

lol ... That question was very though....

@Justwise or whatever delete my comment should respect yourself ....

TrumpsWall:
No skeletons

All documentation with agency, company and end client all gathered. Last email, I copied agency and company. if i include end client, does that breach anything, say GDPR/Data protection (do you know?)?

Not at all. This has nothing to do with data breach. Look it like this, if they had payed you or overpaid for a job that you completed, they will be copying you, HR, your bank and the police. Unless you intend going back to the agency to seek work, I don’t see why you should not be paid for work you’ve done.

TrumpsWall:
I get that. Someone has to be help accountable. Question is who esp since I came through an agency if I need to go thru small claims or Ombudsmen

IT company approves (they've approved before but on this case they didn't). I get assigned to end client to do a job and they don't approve anything as they just want job done.

Again, will it make sense to CC end client?

If you’ve done the work and have no skeletons in your cupboard, copy everyone of them. They have to pay you. ... Also start documenting all your communication with the agency.... cuz las las you’ll need to prove you did the hours and that you’ve been demanding your pay....

dubaiprince:
Hahaha. I know. My job will require I incur some work related expenses which would be reimbursed. These expenses can be a bit much at times. So I would like a card to separate personal expenses from work related ones while boosting credit score. My office has an arrangement of that nature but it won't help my credit score matter.

Have you got a bank account yet?. If yes try applying for credit card through your bank....
alternatively you always ask for VAT receipts whenever you incur work expenses then you can submit those receipts to you HR/ finance department to get reimbursement. That’s what I do whenever in my job whenever I incur work expenses..... Hope it helps

erico2k2:
certain things remain same, Land, labour etc

That’s because Nigeria is a failed state where forces or demand and supply doesn’t apply ....

Tobexin:
it a factual truth that I got my provisional license less than 4 weeks stay in England and less than 90 days i sat for my theory test. I didn’t cut corners to do this I wasn’t even aware of all those long stay in England before I applied and all went through fine and others have been getting too. Is this information not worth sharing? Or is it a crime to apply for it? Common if you don’t have any sensible to say please keep shut.

So why don’t you just state you case and move on without calling someone else’s information false.... you sound like someone sensible don’t make me think otherwise... Thank you

Tobexin:
it is written on there but that is not the factual truth.

My brother what is “factual truth” according to you ?...
There’s a link there from DVLA site and yet you saying rubbish...
If you have any better information you pass it along and desist from saying people’s information are not false or not true without providing better alternatives ... that’s very rude.

Chukwuka16:
Let's leave the RoI - experiences differ.

Let's focus on your reasons.

Taxes/levies - I have been in biz since 2017 and I recently got my latest TCC (expiring next month). I've never paid taxes in Nigeria because I ensure turnover in any of my businesses is below threshold. There is tax evasion (criminal) and tax avoidance (use brilliant accountants).

Staff salaries - owner's business and no one stops staff from leaving.

Govt issues/bribes/rogering - Just make it formal and send hamper/gifts regularly to the officers in charge and deduct it as part of your CSR. Discuss it with your accountant.

Govt policies - increase your network. People are still getting forex for cheap.

My brother this one no be standard business practice ..lol

Tobexin:
you only brought out augment to support your unfounded claims. What do you mean that accommodation is not essentials? Are those what you listed normal? Leaving under the bridge or squatting? Does that make sense to you. Education is an essential phenomenon and it all varies on what one believes.

The answer to this statement is simply
“ Only person wey done chop go dey alive to think of paying rent or school fees”...
In other words food stuffs is more important than rent or school fees .....

Chukwuka16:
Unfortunately Nigeria is still the best market to invest especially in finance, logistics and agriculture. These are the major businesses that can guarantee you over 60% annually which is enough to compensate for inflation, devaluation and still give you some handsome profit. The only downside is risk but as na Naija, we go dey alright.

Here in the UK with BoE interest rate at 0.1% we are looking at negative interest rate next year (possibly) with low interest hovering around 1-3% annually.

I beg to disagree Oga...
The only way you’ll be breaking even while doing business in Nigeria is either by stealing from your staffs (paying them low wages) or not paying the correct taxes to the government....The government will frustrate business small business owners with unending levies and bribes.
I’ll still advice investing even in Elsewhere (Uk or one of theses European holiday destinations)

RalphJean:
You see the bolded part, it shows there are a thing or two we need to learn about economics.
There is no hurrah here.


£1 to 500naira (your relatives in Nigeria could buy 1 bag of onions).

£1 to 610 naira (your relatives in nigeria can only buy 12 pieces of onions).

What is there to hurray?

Ask your relatives in nigeria how much a bag of cement costs now.

You are very correct..The more devalued the Naira gets, the more expensive things become in that country ... ...Personally I’ll invest in the UK rather than Nigeria....

no matter how backlogged they are it doesn’t take more than 14days.

Are you talking from experience or you are working with DVLA at the present moment ?

Tobexin:
in all the advantages of living in an unfurnished apartment surpasses the one of furnished. You have the choice to furnish the apartment to your taste. Furnished apartment are more expensive than unfurnished apartment whereby the addition money you used in paying for a furnished apartment could be used in buying property that would be yours and you have the choice of disposing it for any amount u wish to sell on Facebook market or carry it along to a new apartment.

Here is the mathematics

In the northeast two bed room flat unfurnished cost £350-£400 while furnished apartment costs between £550-£600. If you stay in a furnished apartment let say for 12months and you are paying £550 PCM for same flat u could pay £400 for if it was unfurnished, the extra £150 u paid for it being furnished if calculated is £1800. If you want to furnish your house to good taste £1800 is more than enough for you and all this property belongs to you. The benefits of getting an unfurnished house surpasses a furnished one. If one have the money to furnish one should go for an unfurnished one.

My brother the market value of a property is not subject to the amount of furniture in the property. If u like put everything Gucci in ur house and try to rent it out. it’s won’t make it more expensive than the next door neighbour... ...
Also the £50-£100 difference you’ll save won’t be worth the hassle....

cchimaa:
Yes.
Barclays

Good stuff.. so apply for Barclays credit card since you already bank with them. I did the same thing those days when I was a student and I’ve still got the card up until now. Apply online it’s easy and straightforward .... all the best

Good evening Sirs and Mas

I'm here again to bother the house

As we are coming out of isolation and our Airbnb apartment will soon expire(24th), there is an urgent need to rent an apartment
Looking for an apartment can be overwhelming
I have been searching for 1 bed flat apartment(family of 3 an infant inclusive).
Average price for a modest 1 bed flat is &£400 and I'm also seeing some 2 bed flats for £450.
Should I go for the 2 bed flat?

Also what should I look out for to avoid stories that touch

Note we are in liverpool, we will prefer houses close to royal liverpool university hospital.
Thanks

A family of 3 plus and infant my brother you definitely need 2 bed flat ..... only if u can afford it oh ..... The comfort you’ll get will be worth the £50.....

Go on Rightmove and search for houses in ur preferred location...
