Anyone with info of current passport renewal situation in the UK?

Apply online and join the queue. Some of us have been waiting for almost 1 year. Others probably longer.

A word is enough for the wise

Met police have started picking people driving without a license/insurance.

Those using international license, make sure you are within the permitted term of use, else OYO is your case.


Invest in a full license even if you aren't planning to get a car soon.

The painful thing is this guy has had his test postponed severally due to covid. E don turn double wahala for dead body

I plan to get a car but I have the normal naija driving license not international, does that suffice please?

You can drive with normal naija driving license in the UK. However, the licence is only valid for one (1) year from the date you arrived in UK.

First of all I would avoid London. Staying 2yrs in London and paying nearly half of my salary for rent and another fraction for bills, with no assistance, largely kept me out of this group for months. I lived from shift to shift and nearly got my back broken, only to get home to be reminded that food stuffs is running out, and cable was giving a resuscription warning. I couldn't cope for long. Despite sticking to Amazon prime, and using only charity shop, the permutations did not balance.

I got a job up North without discussing this prior and informed my family that they could stay back if they wanted. Obviously they ran along. I still pay these things but its a fraction of what I earn, so I don't mind at all. All my expenses is not up to the rent I paid in London despite increased wages

The Midlands would be a place to look at, places like Stoke on Trent, Sherwood forest, Black country, Lincoln etc are all cheap but run down areas compared to the big 4, there is also a flux of Nigerians there, with Nigerian pastors opening ministries too. Pay 10% of your income to these dudes is at your discretion, I guess most are hustlers on suits. On the borders of Manchester but still in the Midland is chesterfield a very nice place too.

If you move toward Manchester avoid the city centre. Areas like Boston, Preston, the Pennines etc, is like living in Mowe but claiming Lagos. These would probably be cheaper than living in Manchester.

The north of England have some very affordable places too. Ranging from places like Scunthorpe a near shot hole, to Bradford that is filled with Muslims and blacks, but are both affordable places to the very deprived Hull where Doctors are paid to train. Leeds, wakefield, Sheffield are all big cities from the Yorkshire point of view but are quite affordable. I would avoid York itself if it
you want to save money. While it's beautiful, and heavenly to live in, its cost of living is close to London in some ways. There are other largely rural areas in Yorkshire, people own 2-3 horses here, and a lot of farm lands, things are pretty cheap and organic.

You can live in Newcastle, Sunderland, middlesborough and it's surrounding areas with a fraction of your income. Those areas though cheap are quite cold and you cold end up being impregnated by your husband every year in a bid to cure cold, and end up with more child care bills.


I could write about Essex, but I found Chelmsford expensive but beautiful to stay in.

Lastly let the one true guide lead you to were you will find comfort and peace

But I would avoid London, Cambridge, oxford or the other big 4 as a rule of thumb

Make sure you get an insurance that covers for use of international issued licence

Hi, I have just PM-ed you about getting delivery of products from Lagos to Manchester. Are the parcels then sent by courier to their destinations in Manchester or can they be picked up personally? Thanks

Replied. Good morning.

Tbh, I don't know.. It's now a norm and it seems as though no one cares as long as it doesn't happen to someone we know...
It is really sad. very very disturbing.

I have been pondering on this lately.. It's a sad situation.

A Nigerian thinking of relocating to the UK as a nurse with toddlers. Which is preferable NHS or nursing care homes as regards flexible working hours if I don't want to use AU pairs or child care?

How about working as a school nurse in the UK?

Life has no value at all. These kidnappers are now killing people even after collecting ransom. You don’t know who to trust in that country as everybody is a suspect including family members ... I’m really heart broken

Hello everyone, I am seriously planing on migrating to the UK, I have over 9years experience in HSE from reputable Oil&Gas companies, but my plan is to use my wife as principal, if that is the term to be used under the tier4 visa option, such that she would have a 2 year post work bonus, while I search for work, I already have seen many posting as regards my job and experiences but I rather apply for a tier 2 visa from inside the UK, or do I start to apply from outside, I also intend to apply for tier2 visa option when we eventually get there. I’m travelling with my 3 kids... please I need mentorship. Advice needed

No body is safe rich or poor. Even security personals are now not even safe. And yet our government sees it as nothing

Hello, I have been in this same shoe till I changed methods of application. In less than three weeks, I started getting offers.
1. Browse and check recruitment agencies/firms near you. Pick their numbers and call them asking if there are available vacancies. Some will tell you no one is available yet but will take your details. Most of them will ask you about the particular area of interest.
2. Just go out to their offices. Some local agencies have opened up which makes it better for 1on1 interaction.
3. Modify your area of interest on your online search and follow up with messages to employers one day after your application(They will invite you because it makes you stand out)
4. Target and apply for jobs that are posted 24hours ago. Many employers usually pick the first few ones and invite them for an interview( I used this method and got invites and had to decline one because the dates clashed)
5. If you are applying through indeed, filter your application so it would show you are applying directly to the employer and not an agency. Owners of businesses/Employers consider applications faster.
Cheers and good luck on your search.

"The Graduate route will be unsponsored, meaning applicants will not need a job offer in order to be eligible. There will be no minimum salary requirements nor caps on numbers. Graduates on the route will be able to work flexibly, switch jobs and develop their career as required.

Whilst the route will not lead to settlement, those on the route will be able to move into another work-based route, such as the Skilled Worker route - which does lead to settlement - once they meet the requirements"

That nanny matter, you CAN never escape....... Except and expect only, you intend to relocate with a helper.......

Either NHS or Nursing home works, but with nursing home..... You would get deskilled very quickly........

NHS is always your best option..........

Gini?
Stop applying for credit cards - the more you apply, the more you mess up your nascent credit record, each rejected application counts against you.
Yes, you can register to vote, go to the gov.uk site and do that.

Leave this matter for another 6 months at least.

Many thanks
