Hi Nairalander,,
I just landed in jand few days ago (as in relocated finally), I need guys that are on ground in London (especially those who are fully settled down) to show me the way.
I am a professional IT person.
All constructive suggestions on how to settle down (accomodation, jobs, mortgage etc)are welcome.

If you need to send me private mail that you don't really want it to show on this board, you can mail me on lead.team@ymail.com

thanks

O ma kabo !

If you came here with legit papers, that allows you to work, good for you. If not, it will be wise for you to return to naija before your visa expires.

Besides, it is after 'relocating finally', you are asking people to 'show you the way' 

Anyways, what professional IT cert have you got to start with?

paper is legit.
finally! means ready to give it what it takes
IT: ITIL, MCSE, Prince2 (exam to be taken in 2 weeks)

Lol.

Mister Oga, who told you certification does not matter. Na there make you siddon.

People pay top dollar to earn these certifications and you are saying it does not matter.
Wo, UK aint Naija oh.

So you want to compare the skills of someone that has MSCE (not even MCPE) with someone that is an Oracle DBA or a software engineer?

Anyways, good luck and i hope you are 'shown the way' soon.

You already have some certifications that may get you in the door, however I am sure you are aware that you will need to update your skills to compete. You may need to get into a company at a low level, then just start to work your way as you brush up on your skills. Even if neccesary, take a menial job, but make sure you are working towards getting that professional job. You certainly do not want to end up doing those menial jobs like a lot of folks end up doing here in the US and I am sure the UK.

Hope you came with some money. Get an apartment in an OK area, establish credit as time goes on, then you can start to look for a house. It will not be easy. Just attack it one at a time.

Good luck!
