iboboyswag: U may be right i dont know. Cos i am new here but what i see is that most people bite more than what they can actually chew. The other day i saw a student driving a jeep. Is the jeep the car he should buy now? Mind you that person has not finished paying school fees and he did not buy the jeep on credit. If the jeep is cheap he should also think about maintenance. So many people started using the latest iphone within a short time of coming here using credit to buy a phone they could afford while in Nigeria. I know of someone who drives a very nice benz very clean benz and this person is on minimum wage. At the end of the day, these are the people that will shout nothing in UK. Meanwhile the person is funding a temptation he cant afford for now. I dont know if there is anything in UK cos I am still in school and I dont do more than myself for now at least. 2 Likes |

hustla: No because a lot of people jumped on him because of that post including yourself who called it idiotic and incoherent, your issues with him started from the CC thing not just this. |

Irrespective of anyones decision as to how they choose to live, you have no right to judge or deem it fit to your own narratives. Leave people the way they choose to live, that’s why the western world adopt Choice in their way of life. You don’t know their pocket and being a student in the UK doesn’t necessarily mean they are broke, leave that mentality already…. I’m a student, I was doing okay before I came here, and I’m still doing very okay…. Let people live the way they choose… Poanan: 5 Likes |

Poanan:How do you know that they can’t afford it? Do you know what’s in their bank account? We must never view people from our own lens. This is a credit society and using the latest iPhone where you pay as low as £29 monthly would not make anyone poor especially when they have a job, even if what they earn is minimum wage. So please stop projecting, your circumstance is not the next man’s circumstance. Leave this mentality back home. You are in a different system now, so you better adapt. 8 Likes 1 Share |

hustla: True true... To each his own. But hope you know that at 700, you hit a threshold where your earnings are not significantly different from those earning 350? Except of course you do the "Nigerian thing". Pun intended please, before person go use langa langa comot my head. 1 Like |

Poanan: Well... To each his own. You are a student, I am not. I don't drive a jeep nor a Mercedes but a small VW golf paid for in cash. I have a credit card but I use sparingly (and truth be told, it has been helpful, once or twice). I work, earn a very decent living and I am immensely greatful for the opportunity the country has afforded me but again, I know why I am here. If you can articulate your purpose of being here and work towards it, you can achieve it. This is a land of opportunities, just don't be one of the "Nigeria is dead, I must japa crew!" Last thing, don't ever do more than yourself, not now, not ever! 2 Likes |

kode12: There are many things at play. Firstly, autism and other learning disabilities have always been historically mis and under diagnosed and therefore no support (medical, academic, social) has ever been provided for children or adults who have needed it. Of course now (in the last 20+ years) that our knowledge has changed and crucially, there is a glut of information, so everyone and the government has gone the other way. It's similar child birth. It is now very over medicalised (which is both good and bad). Same as breastfeeding. Giving children autonomy and independence or protecting them. Basically majority of developed countries cater over generously to those seen as needing support in anyway which then leads to everyone wanting to access that support cos why not? Especially when it is financial. After all, it's not long ago that women would have been institutionalised for PMS. 4 Likes |

TheGuyFromHR:please many Nigerians have 500 naira is not as bad as you portray ! there over 120m active phone lines ! meaning they can afford phone of like 3k . I had my NHIS cover at lagoon hospital but strangely the have no dentist . When I need a removal I went to FMC ebutta metta and within 4 hours and 5k even thing done professionally . So Nigeria is not beyond redemption! a Nigeria sport woman just won gold and a Nigerian trained doctor working in the US just donated 1m USD to University of Ibadan! 11 Likes |

Good evening house, please does the UKVI accept the Amex credit card for payment of Visa and IHS Fee? Has anyone tried it in the past. |

Elderss: Not all the transactions. IIRC they'll take Amex for your visa fee, but they won't accept it for the IHS charge. Atleast the last person I helped pay for a few about 2months ago, they didn't accept it. 1 Like 1 Share |
