Overthinker: If you check your application, They would have told you the behaviours where your questions would come from, managing a quality service, delivering at pace, changing and improving etc. Get answers for these in STAR format for each of these scenarios(multiple answers for each if you can). The closer your answers are to the job Spec the better. All the best 1 Like |

It’s not an Ego thing I was good with all my former neighbors ( Nigerians) till they moved out. We can’t be friendlywith everyone I can’t get them on my side because we don’t even have any issues to start with. We greet and ask after her kids I don’t see any issue there bigtt76: |

hustla: People largely underestimate what impact their clique can have on how quickly they settle and rise. Its same case even for those in regulated professions with fairly defined pathways. If you come in and those in your circle quickly sorted their driving, mortgage, good jobs e.t.c. Those things would all of a suddenly become well achievable. Perception is everything. For many, when it comes to getting on the housing ladder, schools, investments, pensions, job prospects e.t.c. it's largely dependent on what your clique has achieved. 10 Likes |

Raalsalghul: Others have answered but to add, even your pension earned after marriage is not spared. Na why before you marry, u look well. Also, u have the advantage of being a dual citizen. rinzylee: Amen and Amen. 'Its not my portion' mentality. No be so? Well the UK divorce rate sits between 40- 50% with some skew. So statistically, its either you get divorced or others do. What would help is understanding the reasons marriages end in divorce and trying to mitigate against those and the larger impact of divorce if it sadly happens. Burying ones head in sand no be the solution. 5 Likes |

jedisco: 100% agree. Is that why oyibos do “partners” instead? Does it offer them any protection different from married folk? In terms of house and pensions etc. |

Phil46: There is a route for teachers which is still fairly new. Might be worth exploring that before it becomes oversaturated. Initially coming over as a carer or for masters should make eventually getting on the teacher route easier. |

jedisco: There's a difference between identifying causes of divorce and enlightening people about it, and selling preparation for divorce. The former is preventive medicine and the other is therapeutic. If I know possible pitfalls, I would work on my character and adjust myself to serve my spouse better. Why not sell the positives of marriage and the benefits of a united home front. Why must it be the doom of marriage that would be sounded ?? I see patients who have been married for 60, 70 ,50 years and all I do after consultation is ask them for 2mins of advice on how to have such a healthy peaceful marriage. I don't go about preparing for divorce. I plan for the best of marriages. Let it be that I have done all and trouble springs up, then we can discuss the other side. I am team it won't be my portion..Yes! 4 Likes |

rinzylee: The point remains, no reasonable person would go into marriage, expecting a divorce....... You could have put in all the hardwork, prayed, fasted etc etc...... But, do you know the real intentions of the other party........ Keep shaking your head....... 😭😂 5 Likes 1 Share |

triplo3: Maybe your company stingy... Perhaps they are not stingy, maybe it's not in their policy to do Christmas party but some folks just feel it will be nice to do hence the contribution. My company organise party...when I say party, I mean party. I shock the first time I attended see strippers dey perform at different strategic points in the event center. Different live artists too positioned at different points. 2 Likes |

Lexusgs430: Some folks on this thread are going into marriage expecting a divorce that's why they are taking all necessary precautions. 😑 Well like your statement, not all persons are reasonable. |

Lexusgs430: If you want us to discuss this objectively , we can. I didn't mention praying and fasting as the only elements of building a foundation for a strong lasting marriage relationship. You dey find my mouth. Marriage is run on principles and principles don't respect anyone. You break it, it breaks you. Knowledge of the elements to enjoy a good marriage is more important than seeking for how to share properties or protect oneself after a divorce. The mindset with which you choose to engage this journey is very important. I say again... you can either choose to build a stable fortress or go seeking Knowledge of how to leave with the chunk sum when the house collapses. Through wisdom is a house built, by Knowledge it is established and by understanding it's Chambers are furnished . Daalụ 4 Likes |

hustla: Honestly some people here are funny, we are talking about what happens when marriage breaks down in the western world and some people are getting worked up about it. You can be the best husband or wife and work hard to make your marriage work but if your better half thinks otherwise then you have to face the reality. 6 Likes |
