Goke7: Are you saying your take on aparthied is that we should have supported it so as not to offend the UK? I.e for the opportunity of being looked on favourably by the UK, you would excuse apartheid? You really think you'd fare on well as an African person in the UK if a major African nation was still under an apartheid regime? Regarding UK citizenship by birth, that's a whole different issue which is unrelated. It was ended for a different set of reasons. Countries make immigration policies based on national interest. You are either here on a work or study visa not on a diversity visa or you won a lottery or the UK wants more Nigerians here. Prior to any visa category being approved, there must be a clear indication that it'd benefit the UK more. The relatively increased number of Nigerians migrating here today as against the 90s is not out of want but necessity. Remember Brexit only just happened. To her merit, the UK is quite diverse and there is a growing realisation among the populace that to sustain some of the social safety nets of time past, there is need more working residents. But the point here is the day your visa need stops being needed, it's the day it's culled. Countries with stricter visa rules have a different reality or expectation. |

Estroller: True.. not just currency stability but also main indicators like economic growth and inflation rate. A developing nation moreso a large and strategic one like Nigeria would always have untapped potentials but with higher investment risks. Many Indian diasporeans have got good returns investing back home mainly cos their currency has been stable and growth better than the west. I would want our indices to improve before I start thinking home. For the time being, a SIPP, LISA or ISA invested in a globally diversified tracker is tax efficient and 'stress-free' for me with returns historically averaging 6-7% pa overtime. Outside emotional home bias, whatever local investment I'm making should beat that. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Viruses: You have to weigh what the park would be like.. noise, parking, visibility e.t.c. Traditionally, well planned houses on a close tend to be more sought after as they are more quiet and private. Oddly, it seems you prefer more noisy areas. New houses are smaller but if flexible, you'd find relatively spacious well built ones which would come at a prenium. |

Viruses: New build are overpriced and comes with structural problems sometimes, it takes 2-5yrs in most cases before you start seeing those structural issues and cost of repairs could be very high. End of terrace house are good but watch out for council tax band as you could be paying higher than your next door neighbour |

Direct debits are payments set up to debit your bank account on a monthly basis. What you have with Duolingo is probably a recurring card payment which is triggered annually. This is not suitable for what you want. Lool at placing your house rent, contract only sim payment, utility bills like council tax, water or electricity on direct debits.

koonbey:Hello everyone, just to give a bit of an update. The Midwives got back to us today that they have completed relevant checks/ confirmations with the NHS safeguarding team and the social services as regard’s piercing the baby’s ears. They were able to confirm that since it is cultural, it was fine as long as the piercing was done with clean and sterilized objects, and we clean with salt water regularly till it fully heals, to help prevent any infections. Thank you all for your inputs 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Taal17: Maybe this is where the slavery analogies have come from, because even if the person earned reasonably well, they would likely still struggle financially due to this huge debt. |

Mr Lexusgs430, I hear you are the plug for all iptv matter. I also hear it comes with millions of channels. FYI, I'm sure my TV isn't android-based, but I believe this can be bypassed with the use of firestick, yea? Not totally sure. Please what directions/steps should I take to fully setup this iptv parole? Thanks. NB: Not urgent, reply at your convenience. |

lavida001: It’s a consent issue. They argument is that a baby is too young to decide whether they need their ear pierced or not. You would hardly see an oyibo new born baby with a pierced ear. They get it done as they approach teenage and are old enough to take responsibility for cleaning the piercing/hygiene. 1 Like |

Finally got a permanent solution to mold in my house. Bought a Meaco Arete Dehumidifier 20l and the rest is story. Reason for choosing this is because it does not only dehumidify but also purify the air and very low electricity consumption. Yeah, dry clothes as well. If you’ve got mold issue try get this product aswell. 14 Likes 9 Shares |

Ancestors, Someone in Nigeria is trying to buy property in UK. They’re willing to pay the >25% deposit for a mortgage. Target is to preserve capital, gain equity, get good ROI from a rentals etc. Strategic location to ensure long term value. House or flat. What’s the best approach? Any advise. Thank you in advance. |

jedisco: Quick question: what if the mortgage is in the man's name only? Does it mean he has to move out if the judge grants custody of the kids to the woman? Just thinking about different scenarios here. |
