Na wa oh, I just pray Nigeria could function properly even half efficiently as Uk.

After my car (2009) got into accident as a result of at-fault driver, I was really stressed and worried about commuting, the following day the insurance brought me a 2022 made Kia as a courtesy car to use pending investigation, although i was told that I will given a courtesy car but the timing and the car type is far above my expectations, because it was delivered quickly.

Was driving on the motorway this morning just to see some few functionalities of the car, I put on the cruise mode and lane assist mode, the car was just driving me without controlling the steering even at corners/curves.

Really feel different.

I just hope this is not a temptation to go collect car for Arnold Clark like this, as most of my friends have been doing.😂🤣😂🤣

Go for it mate. It’s a credit society

I don't know how UBA works but I used gtb dollar card for weeks before I opened my first UK bank account. I'll also advise you come with some Pounds cash if you can. You can call or visit your bank branch to ask if the card works overseas and what's the rate like for dollars to pounds because for every transaction you do with the card will be converted to pound equivalent

Just come with the Debit card of the USD or GBP account. I prefer Access Bank or maybe GTB. You can use the card on the ATM and POS

If you have friends in the uk they can help for payment for transportation from Heathrow to where you are going especially if you are going by coach as they can forward the ticket to you.

Secondly don’t stress yourself as soon as you land in the uk even if it’s a temporary place so far it has an address, collect your Brp immediately and apply for Monzo account online from playstore, within few days you get your debit card. Also download and open a LemFi account formerly called lemonade. Your Brp is the main requirement for this. With LemFi you can move money from your naira account and convert to pounds and move to Monzo account. After one month, generate your Monzo account bank statement and go to any of the main banks like Lloyds or even Halifax and open an account. If you are the student it’s even easier with a letter from your school which they already have, take it to a bank and open an account.

My personal opinion, it’s when you get into the uk you realise all these dollar accounts we open in Nigeria can be totally useless here.

Help Needed!!
The Care Agency that brought me to the UK on Health & Care Visa CoS has just been sanctioned by the Home Office. They have now lost their CoS status.
All the foreign staff (plenty of us) have now been told to find a new sponsor, or leave the UK within 3 months.

Please, do you know where I can be able to get a new CoS? Please help.


Please help a brother.

Any plugs? Leads? Recommendations?
Please help.

Hope you find something soon. Being in the UK should make it easier this time. But what happened?

Thank you for your reply I will definitely visit my bank on monday

Please does annual salary of £34 -£41k worth relocating to London for considering the cost of living, especially accomodation and utility bills, there? COS attached but not desperate for it as there are other plans. Work place is around E1

I will reach out to someone I know in UK to help me get coach ticket.

Thank you for all the insights.

It's not mandatory to do a registered mail for the BRP but during mine (when Royal mail strike were on), the lady at the counter suggested I do it to avoid matters that touches 😂

give me tips abeg if i cannot let me see how to get a refund

No, you can't transfer from Nigerian USD account to a UK account.

However, you have two options;

1. Bring your USD debit card and withdraw pounds at UK ATMs. Think of the market exchange rate (USD/GBP) and the withdrawal fee ($3 per withdrawal).

2. Exchange your dollar to Naira in Nigeria. Keep it in your Naira account. When you come, open a LemFi (Lemonade) account and convert the Naira to Pounds. Caveat; Naira's instability might be an advantage or otherwise. Mostly like the latter.

For your on-arrival expenses, I'd advise exchanging and bringing a minimum of £100 in cash from Nigeria. Worst case scenario, you can exchange Naira to Pounds INSIDE the airport if you're unable to get prior to your travel date.

Best wishes.😉

From there, I hope the process will be fast and not demand alot of documents as I already have a place to stay in UK

Yes Barclays is a mainstreet bank. Nothing is difficult to do over here.
