G.morning lovely house, trust u all are doing well. Please I will like an advice from you guys please. My elder sister is working as a secretary/ executive assistant in a reputable organisation in Abuja. She loves her career line very well and have bin in it for 12 years now. She got married in 2014, her hubby is based in UK and she will be joining her hubby soon in UK. She was discussing with me on her career, that she doesn't know if she can get a secretary work in the UK. I told her that she should change her career line to health sector bc I know that she can easily get job in health sector, but she said that her age(41years) might not permit her study nursing when she gets her permanent stay bc of the study loan. Please house is there any well paid job she can do apart from health care. We here in Nigeria believe that is mostly health sector that is opened to new comers in UK and most Nigeria go for health care jobs. Pls any advice or suggestions or advice to prepare her. She keep telling me that she prefers to leave in Nigeria ( bc of her age and starting life again. But, I keep convincing her that UK is better than Nigeria. I will appreciate responses. Thank you |

Please who knows if anyone from Nigeria has travelled to UK as they opened the international airport. I am trying to book flight for my brother from Nigeria to UK, he just got his student visa, but I am unsure if there is any travel ban for students coming into the UK now. Please any information will help. Thanks. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 7:23am On Sep 06, 2020 |
b543210: The first flight only started yesterday so still early days to see the end to end picture but I think slowly and steady it is back to norm for Nigeria As for UK they never closed their airspace or ban anyone even at the height of covid. So if you need a flight here then check with Nigeria and see what airline has been officially approved to fly . Those ones their ticket should be good to go. Then check the airline policy on covid, if it is a direct flight then UK dont require but if the flight has stops then maybe one of the stop country requires it such as Lagos to london using Emirate |

Please guy, where is the place for me to change my Naira to euro? It is possible I change it at my bank ( GTB) Secondly, I planned to use use local flight from Abuja to Lagos first, before talking the international flight. My worries now is that, local flight is 20k While international flight is 23kg * 2 My luggage is about 35kg *1 Will the local flight accept the 35kg or charge me ? What could likely be the charge of the 15kg extra Thirdly, international flight says 23kg * 2 But am only Carrying 35kg * 1 And 1 school bag Will that be a problem or I must have 23kg and 12kg in another luagages |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 11:20am On Sep 06, 2020 |
OlakunmiSMELTD: You have to check with the airlines...but typically 23kg * 2 you cannot then decide to take 35kg in one bag... . Definitely don't work like that. Airline have rules and you have to stick with it. So yes that 35kg they will charge you anything over 23kg per bad and also even if they charge it is still a max of 32kg and never 35kg. Best to buy an extra bag and split that load Local flight yes will still charge you if you are over their baggage allowance 1 Like |

please anyone have Naira in exchange for Pounds ? thanks |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Hubbysluv: 1:38pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
You can change your money with BDC operators inside the airport don't patronize those aboki outside Lagos airport o Get another bag and divide the contents. This will favour you more and save you some money because the international airlines i know charges in $$ for extra kilo. Also, why stressing yourself coming to Lagos since Abuja also have International airport? just asking OlakunmiSMELTD: |

Hi guys, i'm just joining the thread and i suppose some members here live in the UK. Please im in a dilenma right now. I need advice: I'm getting married to my fiance soon and of course interested to leave with her. She's a nurse....processing her papers to migrate to the UK. I, on the other hand, mechanical engineer but since graduation, I've been in the tech space...dealing with digital marketing projects, wordpress (website) and graphic design projects. Eventually, developed two startups. One is a digital marketing startup. The other is a partnership. Also, I'm currently rounding up my online masters with University of South Wales btw My issue is...if i move with my fiance after marriage, what am i chances in the UK (She's a nurse) Additionally, I have an option to move to Canada as well but its for schooling....meaning I'd be dependent for a while. I personally have made researches and Nigerians rate Canada more than the UK when it comes to the opportunities for immigrants. I want to know if this is really significant to consider in this my situation because my fiance is not entirely keen on moving to canada cos their nursing registration process is more rigorous as she might also have to do some courses before working! Unless i move to canada and she moves to Uk and we maybe link up later. I dont know how thats meant to work! Please help clarify life and career opportunities in the UK for someone with my track record. That might help me make a decision. Thanks guys |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 5:34pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
br33zee: A mech engineer can always switch careers so that absolutely fine. That a nigerian thing to think you are somewhat tied forever to your education background..... if you now in the tech field then you target on how to write your resume well within that field and market yourself well How life will turn out nobody can predict. Both countries have opportunities and have their own challenges as well..... A good job in canada is not that easy as well....so don't be fooled ![]() 2 Likes |

TIER-2 VISA ADVICE NEEDED - Taking a second Job Hello country people. The screenshot below refers. Does this mean that if I get a tier-2 CoS to work in the NHS (a nurse) for example, I cannot take a second, weekend evening job to work as a pizza maker in Dominoes? Or I cannot have a side-job to work as a bartender at Wetherspoons? Does it mean if I am to take a second side hustle, It must be as a Nurse, or in any of the 'shortage occupation' jobs? Please folks with experience, help.

You can take a second job i.e working with ur employer and taking a second job as an agency nurse for example. However, rmba the more you work the more tax you will have to pay RalphJean: |
