Hi house - please I have a question.

I want to sponsor a sibling's masters from back home. The plan for POF is to send the money to a GBP account in their name in Nigeria. My question is - which Nigerian bank would be super easy to send the money back to me in the UK after visa has been processed? I'm thinking of standard chartered, but I want to hear from those who have real experiences, transferring GBP from Nigerian dom accounts to the UK.

Sorry mate. There will be a lot of reading involved. Laws change all the time. I wouldn't trust hearsay on anything about immigration.

Always check this site first for the most up-to-date information.

Pajeets are having it hot 🤣. I never like them because they behave like they are superior to black people. They should use their said knowledge to get rid of all the poop in their country. Even the h1b they are getting is through dubious means. They have mastered the art of gaming whatever system the find themselves. Plus they are also secretive, dem no dey drop updates 🤣

But this is a slur,now...why call people that?
And why stereotype people ?
You wouldn't be happy reading this about Nigerians in an Indian forum now,would you?

I know some lovely Indian people and we get along like a house on fire. Try some Indian friends. You ll be amazed.

It may be worth checking here if you are entitled to free prescriptions. Just to save you a trip and a curt response from your GP. smiley


A doctor shouldn't be rude smiley

It's still a good idea to cross check with a (knowledgeable) GP in the case where one has a diagnosis of a chronic condition as there are several conditions that qualify for medical exemption even when not clearly stated.

I just thought I should mention that my reason for asking the original question about access to public funds was so that when the time for my visa renewal comes up I won't be deemed to have broken any of the conditions I was given initially.

There are different rules in England and the "full gamut" of NHS services does not include free prescriptions (and other services such as dental treatments and eye tests)

..

The op asked if getting regular prescriptions (in this case for diabetic meds) would class as public funds for someone on a visa which I responded to.
Thats different from asking if one is eligible to have free prescriptions under the nhs (for which they'd need to meet specific criteria except they're in certain parts). The only overlap here is that the are diabetic on meds which has a crossover between the two. i.e its a disease which if treated with medications would by itself qualify them for free scripts.


The full gamut of nhs services is being able to access routine care and get your regular prescriptions signed off just like everyone else. There would still be set criteria for certain aspects of care/treatment. If I needed a regular script, I'd pay the regular nhs fee for it - not private.

These Indians should go and rest. They are talking now cos the bigotry don reach their side. Where were they when blacks and Latino immigrant community were being dehumanized?
Anybody with sense knows that the core MAGA issue wasn't illegal immigration as it was painted but non white immigration whether legal or illegal. They thought they were not in the same category with blacks and Latino immigrants cos they are the IT gurus.
They haven't learnt their lesson cos as at today people like Kash Patel is still thinking he is MAGA

Free Indians matter. We're in thesame hustle. Alot of countries have bigots pointing fingers at them.

Trump sold his story to a wider narrative this time and even got some minority voters behind him or made them less enthusiastic to vote for the dems. It's so believable to point at an immigrant and make everyday folks believe they're the reason for wider struggles. Its a time-tested tactic.

Well lets hope Trump doesn't do a BJo on them. His properties need more of the 0.1% engineers to run them afterall

Lol... late Christmas for Kier Starmer. He'd be hoping the £100m talk would be quenched by this.

See how humbly calculated Farage sounded. Money good oo.

Elon is something else- for even NF to say this one is too far right and disagree with him should make folks unsettled. I wonder what role his aparthied South African roots are playing in his world view

Tax the rich.
When people get stratospherically wealthy, they unfailingly become villains.

Elon is just a manipulator taking advantage of far-right ideologies to bully his way into political influence. When he's done he will start shouting about the shortage of engineers and skilled workers to advance his business interests. Just pity those who see him as their savior to advance their desire to chase all those they don't like or want out of their country and right now many of them are confused and can't just understand what the hell is going on grin

I think you're reading too much into Elon's crazy behaviour. Everyone, including Musk himself, knows that Musk is a loose cannon. Tomorrow he'll be off attacking another senior figure and government. I'm quite sure he'll soon fall out with Trump, it's just a matter of time.

Beneath the scintillating headlines, Elon's tweets on the contentious issue of the grooming gangs have emboldened the claims of the right that certain ethnic groups are more represented in sexual abuse and other crimes than Brits, and some MPs are urging the government to publish an annual report detailing the nationality, visa and asylum status of every offender convicted, to enable the Home Office toughen up visa and deportation policies for nationalities linked to higher rates of crime in the UK
