mayo47: Peoples earning and pay are many times not a direct reflection of their hardwork or effort put in. Different societies reward different roles in different ways due to a complex myriad of factors many of which are artificial. |

Viruses: You even have time responding, I did as if I never saw the comment, lots of dependents indeed have incredible skills but just one narrative is what folks like you quoted need to paint everyone with same brush. The Tiamiyu guy is still a learner compared to some nairalanders 1 Like |

Raalsalghul: Yes. I know someone it happened to granted this was over 16 years ago so may no longer be the case. She was held back at the airport for over 6 hours and was told she had no business coming back to the UK as her studies had finished. She explained she needed to pack her stuff and close her bank accounts and sort her tenancy etc. They eventually let her in but she was really traumatised by the whole experience. The question though is why risk it? You can’t rule out the fact that you might meet an overzealous Border Agent especially now that that they are trying to reduce so called ‘net migration’. The OP should get his PSW or switch to work visa before going on any jolly. 3 Likes |

mizGene: Having a visa does not necessarily guarantee entry. The final decision to admit someone into the country ultimately lies with the Immigration officer at the point of entry. 99.9% of the time you will be allowed in without a fuss, but there’s still that 0.1% chance that you’ll meet an IO that woke up from the wrong side of their bed. 4 Likes |

eniola1010: It depends on what the role entails and whether the DL was listed as an essential requirement for the job. If you need to attend meetings offsite, visit clients etc then you will need a driving license. |

Thastie: There is no issues if he knows about various categories of car damages in UK as well explain to you to know the insurance implications. Also, most cars at copart requires fixing which depends on whether body work or mechanical. |

mayowa94: For as long as you still have month left on your Brp. For instance brp to end 31/05/2023. Trip to Paris. Departure 24/03- Arrival 30/03. No issue at entry. Trip to Lagos. Departure 07/04- Arrival 27/04. No issues. Only question asked was, are you applying for PhD after? 😂😂😂. For my mind, I was like shey you dey whine me ni. |
