santos247: Have you completed the 3 transactions? If you have, it is yet to reflect on my end. I'll quote you once it drops. On your second question, if you have an account with any of the traditional banks, fund it with the cash at your local branch or any post office near you and transfer to your Revolut from the account. |

gistbite: I've never heard of Indeed flex sorry. But if it's some kind of gig work i.e self-employed, I'm inclined to say the same rules apply. You're just seelf-employed, so you are the second employer. I might be wrong though, someone else might point you to a better guidance as I haven't seen anything specifically covering that area. |

Lexusgs430: Personally, I don't think the Nigerian driving experience is a disadvantage. The learner just needs to be conscious of those acquired bad habits. Watching a lot of videos on youtube would easily highlight those issues. If you keep your bad traits in mind, while learning and consciously try to correct them, you'd be able to pass quite easily. Coordination, anticipation, remaining centred, stopping distances on the road etc, those sort of things only come with time spent on the road. The longer you've spent driving, the better you'd normally be at those skills, which would translate to an easier pass here in the UK..... Unless you were an Ikeja - Sango Ota molue driver in the past , those drivers are irredeemable. 15 Likes 1 Share |

erico2k2:As someone who foolishly brought dollars into the UK instead of pounds, I would advise anyone to refrain from doing this as the exchange rate from dollars to pounds here in the UK isn’t friendly. You are better off buying pounds in Nigeria. She just has to use a legitimate person to help change the funds and not road side sellers and she’ll be fine. 5 Likes |

babajeje123: She could register with agencies to be a substitute teacher. This is not an easy job as she would go into any school to fill in for an absent teacher. She will cover class for different subjects and year groups. On the other hand, she could train to teach. There are several training institutes the offer this. Check teachfirst or go on UCAS for a detailed list and register. Training will help acheive knowledge of how the school system works, learn the teaching standards and class control(this is the most important bit). Better still, check UCAS for SCITT for school direct training. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

erico2k2: We are all here as ''economic migrants'', it's only sheer luck that make us different from refugees. Be that as it may, I'm happy today that the ECHR has intervened at the expense of the UK courts who supported this abhorrent policy. No one is going to be deported to Rwanda. I'm an Atheist, but I specifically welcome the intervention of the Church of England in this matter. If the Queen who is the Head of the Church of England and Prince Charles finds that this policy is ''appalling'' and abhorrent, who are you? 6 Likes |

claremont: Who am I? We're all human beings who shit, piss, fart, emit the usual bodily fluids and occasionally [or frequently, as the case may be] shag and whose bodies/ashes will all rot in the ground. Nobody, but nobody's opinion is sacrosanct, everyone's entitled to one. Firstly, Prince Charles stated his opinion not in any religious capacity, but in relation to his trip to Rwanda representing the Queen as the Head of the Commonwealth. It was some COE bishops who condemned the policy from that angle. But with regard to your statement that you're an atheist, I have to state that I do believe in God, but do not practice religion, as it is all manmade and generally targeted at mind control and not worship, so whatever COE bishops or the Pope or any given pastorpreneur back home in Naija say naturally carries little weight with me, from a religious standpoint. That said, I don't think Boris actually properly planned this Rwanda thing (of which I would have been in support if carried out), he must have known that the ECJ would step in on the basis of the ECHR to stop it, as the UK and the EU are not friends at the moment, to say the least. It's worth pointing out that the EU itself has previously sent migrants to Rwanda, so there's arrant hypocrisy and sheer politics at work here. We are all economic migrants, true, but we came lawfully, with the consent of the UK government. Followed the rules, paid the huge monies, etc. We didnt pay tens of thousands of pounds to people smugglers, we paid it to UK universities and/or the Home Office as the rules required. I have every sympathy for genuine refugees, for one my mother is Igbo, and some of my family here in the UK arrived here during the civil war as refugees, and for another, with the way Naija is going under Buhari's TLC, many people back home, including my friends and family members, might one day find themselves as refugees when it ultimately collapses, but these people coming are not genuine refugees, they have the money to pay for one way smuggler tickets to the UK, passing through parts of Europe in the process, and thus circumventing the "first safe country" principle. They are economic migrants, and should come through a different process, the ones we followed. In response to the argument that some of their countries are not safe places to be in the first place so they cant apply for UK visas from there, they should claim asylum in the first safe country they get to, or last last, France, then apply from there. The harsh truth is that these people coming unrestrictedly are polarising the immigration debate unnecessarily, and that ultimately affects us who came lawfully as well if things go nasty. Again, in response to the assertion that the UK is not the US and people are more "civilised" here, with the way things are going in this country, extremism, which tends to flare up when economic issues arise and people become or feel poorer, may not be too far off. In response to the other argument that the UK came to Africa and Asia, robbed, exploited, raped and stole, so is now reaping the fruit of what it sowed in terms of the "We are here because you were there" assertion, again 99% of the time there is no morality in politics, it is all about achieving ends, so come lawfully or try making that argument to some extremist like those in the US who set out deliberately to kill minorities and see how far you get. 18 Likes 1 Share |

stephoye: Find out from your colleagues if they have been paid, then write your employer a formal letter demanding your own pay. In the absence of any response, gather all your evidence and contact a body called ACAS. Beyond that I'm not too sure of the process, as that's the farthest I've seen it taken, but I think if they cant help resolve the matter, you can now get a lawyer and head to an employment tribunal. |

Alexia20: I think if you select the first option "immediate family", you might get the option to further select "sibling", because siblings are part of the immediate family. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Alexia20: 7:21am On Jun 15, 2022 |
MichaelUde:That is even the problem, no option to choose siblings or something else after you must have chosen "Yes " to the question ,only option is to state the required relationship as " brother" . |
