Good afternoon Xanderlex
I hope you’re doing well, please I asked someone to assist me in Authenticating my police clearance at the Nigeria high commission London. Please how can the person get an appointment at the embassy.

Kindly share how you were able to get appointment? Or can the person just walk in with the document for Authentication?
Thank you, I shall await your response.
Hi, I have no idea how to authenticate already existing police clearance certificate. My application was for passport renewal. For applying for the character certificate, you can post the required documents to Nigerian High commission in London. Detailed info is on their website.

Option 1: change the dollars to Naira in black market and buy pounds in black market

Option 2: load the dollar in a dorm account and come to the UK with the card.

Pls which is best?
I can't say. When I wanted option 1, the aboki guys said they would convert to usd to naira at buying price and change naira to gbp at selling price. You do the maths.
I just ended up going with option 2. U get charged for withdrawing cash but free when paying for transactions with the card.

[quote author=Ibk2020 post=113128462]My bank is giving me dollar in cash instead of pounds as PTA, pls how best can I get value for my money when exchanging?
Should I exchange at the airport or bring the dollars to UK to come exchange?[/quote

Please don't make the mistake of carrying dollar cash to the uk. The rates are terrible. Pay it into a USD domiciliary account in Nigeria and come along with the card. The rates is better

Passed my theory test today on the first attempt. Practised with this Theory 4 in 1 app below, someone recommended it on this forum sometime back.

I used the Free Pass Guarantee option and practised the 763 theory questions and 85 hazard test videos all in 3 weeks. I highly recommend the app to anyone preparing to take their theory test.

Meanwhile, I appreciate any guide to studying for the practical driving test
I'm seeing multiple apps with same name in playstore. How do I know the right one?

Basically all those places like Chorlton, Longsight, Rusholme, Cheetham, Whalley Range, etc.
It's always interesting to walk down Oxford Road past the hospitals and I get the feeling there is an imaginary boundary of sorts after you pass the park and it seems as if you have just crossed from England into Asia.

Oldham is another matter altogether, it's just Bradford.
Omo the cheetham Hill own is something else. Cheetham Hill is to Asians/arabs as Moston lane is to naija. The average uk native believes in driving a small hatchback or golf but most of the flashy posh cars I see are Arabs/Asians. You then wonder, what are we as blacks not doing well abi isn't it same gas or diesel prices for all?

Are you fully sorted, you now own your own property, have enough savings in the bank, pension plan, life insurance, loads of investments portfolios.........

NEVER BE THE GOD ABROAD, YOUR MONEY WOULD END UP IN BEER PARLOURS AND ON FOLAKE'S FOR THE NIGHT......... cheesy

For your parents, render financial assistance (within reason)..... Others can sling their hook ..... cheesy

Hello Everyone. Need advice. I'm into IT working full time 8-4 in manchester. Bills back home and other responsibilities are building up. What other side hussles can one do? I thought of combining this with care jobs (part time from friday night to sunday morning). How feasible is this? Also, referals for part time care jobs within manchester would be helpful.
