With this, I presume it's cheaper using a Nigerian card abroad than getting pounds at black market rate from Nigeria. erico2k2: |

Bluetherapy: You either choose to turn left or right, either way, you get stung ........... Not all investment platforms, have all stocks/ETFs etc etc You might find the non premium stock on Etoro (which might be free)...... But you get stung by spread fees......... No free lunch in China........... Incase you want to download etoro, my link is always available..... https://etoro.tw/3s1BT6z |

tolajay: Yes, because with a Nigerian bank card you spend at the official rate. However, most Nigerian cards are capped at about $100 equivalent a month (I think GTB has the highest at $200). 2 Likes 1 Share |

tolajay:I wont be able to tell you bout the rate but what I can tell you is this, No fear of getting fake notes and you do not need huge cash in your person to secure it more so if searched by the Police there wont be need for you to start explaining yourself cos people do not really carry cash about here especially when you are BLACK! |

Hello people, Please I will be coming in to London this January on a student visa with my child and spouse. Though my husband isn’t staying permanently at the moment. My main concern now is accommodation, I’m lost as to which area to look at. I learnt that my area determines the kind of school my child goes to and all. Also, I’m pregnant which means it has to be close to a hospital too. I’m looking for a modest 1-bedroom flat, I’ve been checking Zoopla, SpareRoom, Rightmove etc. my school is in Central London. I need pointers please 2 Likes |

Abiodunnn: Start with stating where your school is. People familiar with the area might be able to advise you. Edited: Just seen that your school is in Central London. Doesn’t sound very interesting. Hope you find somethings suitable. |

Good afternoon everyone!!! I got to Birmingham last night. Mandatorily, I will have my day 2 test on Thursday and I hope I test negative so I can have access to things and be able to move around. While at that, I would be needing your help (information) as to how I can secure an employment before my school resume, I think I might be busy during school period, I wouldn’t want anything to affect my primary assignment in the UK. I mean, what website do I need to visit, how do I go about it? I just need some temporary jobs to keep the body and soul together, I wouldn’t want to just sit at home. Please advice… Thanks 1 Like |

Abiodunnn: Although your school may be located in central London. You don’t need to stay in central London, you can find a zone 2 or 3 surrounding area. The reason being that central London rental is very expensive and all you will get is a shoebox where you can’t even swing a cat. Also the schools may be over subscribed. The transport system in London is very good. You may want to look at Stratford etc depending on your budget. |

contra:Yes. I got a job with barclays bank. They are less concerned with my 9ja certificate. The experience was the koko. I aced the interview and I was pleased with my self. Not only barclays I've got employment. I had with Sky, Virgin Money, Freeview and Virgin media. Key Note: Don't panic and don't leave any details out during your interview. Support every question with a case scenario. PRAY WELL. I kept on applying to build my self esteem and communication skills. 11 Likes 1 Share |

TRAY2: @justwise/others who travelled to Naija recently, can one transit through Qatar to Naija with only fit to fly cert (departure PCR). I can see UK is on red list of Qatar. Is there additional requirement other than PCR test? I have checked everywhere I can’t see any but want to err on side of caution. Trying avoid being stranded. I will appreciate your immediate response. Family member needs to travel from Glasgow to Lagos tomorrow. Urgently need to do booking. Thanks |
