Chill...it's not about being rude, I just don't like someone trying to create unwarranted suspense or anticipation except in movies.

Lie to me that you didn't feel good that those guys above were begging for the information you have.

My point is if you were not ready to talk don't start the talk. Infact I was chatting with someone on whatsapp for about 15 minutes and the person goes "e get wetin I wan follow you discuss later" and my response was if you want to talk, talk; otherwise just wait till the later and talk. No need to tell me you want to talk to me later.

Remember those days that girls will say I have something to say but don't worry, you will na be begging her to talk only for her to raise money issues 😀, and since na you beg her to talk, you don dey tight corner be that.

And just so you know, there is nothing special in whatever lesson you think you have learnt the way you learnt it and got the mortgage, others will learn it and get their mortgage so I repeat if you want to talk talk, if you don't want then so be it.

If she says don't worry...... Never ask..... Nah she go carry her mouth ask you, why you are not worried, about what she wants to say .......😉

Once she tables her financial worries....... Give her also your own financial problems, but triple version......😄

Financial worries go cancel financial worries......😜😁

A lot of church goers who pay tithe does it out of ignorance of the scripture, some pay because they believe that God will bless them financially but there is no such thing.

The richest man in Nigeria or Africa is not a Christian, richest man in the world is not a Christian but they all have one thing in common…they have products and services that generate wealth for them.

Nigerian pastors become rich after scamming their gullible members through all sorts of false teachings and fake miracles.

Pastor that drives SUV and moves along with body guard. That’s clearly not Christ like.

If this is not enough reason, for their sheep to think inwards...... Nothing else would convince them ..... The power of brainwashing is truly deadly.......

Omo make una no vex o, this is not bad bellerism or jealousy. But I just dey wonder say for this nairaland everybody dey earn above 50k. E dey surprise me say nobody here dey earn the average UK pay or even below because all the salary we dey see jna 50k and above. Na so someone say him dey earn £49k but the money no dey reach do anything cos him dey repay debt to the wife for bringing him to the UK. The advice he got on this thread is to dust his CV and look for a higher paying job.

To those who are still trying to settle and manage their life in the UK, no let all this big figures for this thread make you come dey put unnecessary pressure on yourself or look down on your current hustle o. E get why. With time, everywhere go stew.

I say make I drop my own 2 cent from my monthly one tenth 😀

Mine is they should drop pointers on how the secure those jobs with high figures. Help a brother

Guys

I'm in a dilemma regarding my tuition and will need your advice please.

I'm in the last semester of my master's and have about £2500 outstanding. The problem is I've been changing naira to pounds to pay to this stage since Form A became unreliable. I'm left with the hope of 2m which is just around £1400 at the current black market rate.

I've told the school that I'm working on it but they won't stop sending reminders. With the look of things I can't pay up until I finish and resume full time employment. I once sent them an email explaining the situation of things how the sudden FX hike has almost tripled the fee from the anticipated amount.

I don't know if anyone else is having or has had the same experience. How are you going about it please? I'll appreciate any advice I can get as the frequent emails and threat of potential withdrawal from the school has started affecting my wellbeing. I don't like being in debt. It makes me worry and lose concentration. Thanks

Try to pay up even if it’s to take a loan. But I think some school will allow you write exams but you won’t be awarded certificate until you pay up.

This is a sad story....

According to the report, he came into the UK as a minor. Doesn't say how young he was but most likely he was brought in by someone and as a child did not have any control over this. The fact that he came in as a minor , placed in foster care and has lived in the UK for 10 years give or take, means he probably doesn't have anything or anyone to go to Nigeria to. Very different scenario to coming in as an adult who could reasonably be expected to reintegrate back into their home country.

It doesn't sound like he's committed any crimes so I do hope he's granted asylum on compassionate grounds.

I would put on my devil's advocate hat....... It said he is 23 (I would add about 10 years to that).....

Going on the premise, that he is 33 now, assuming he really came in at 23.......

- Was he truly a minor......
- What are the conditions, asylum could be granted.....

You see why his matter get k leg...... Remember the story of uncle london........ 🤣

But remember he was placed in foster care which means he would have been assessed by social and health services, he would have attended secondary school and accessed other services that would have been difficult to fake if he was10 years older than his purported age.

Maybe not asylum, but I think he qualifies for compassionate leave based on his status as a minor when he was brought into the country, and going through the care system which imposes a duty of care upon the state to a degree.

The person in question said what they said fully innocently I’m sure and you’ve just read the worst possible motives into it with absolutely no basis. You don’t even know if it’s a matter of timing where they planned to settle down and write something extensive later.

If you want to know, ask. You didn’t, and you just jumped to insults and attacks.

Not sure what has happened to this thread in the past few days but it seems most people have just lost their sense of decorum and people are letting their inner ágberòs out. I guess the mod doing the same is part of what's emboldening people but please try and do better.

Of course!! It’s my fault, I never knew that people look up to me this much, I mean a grown up adults following the footsteps of an unfit mod in a faceless forum. So can I take advantage of my influence on you lot to demand that you stop paying tithe?

I don't know why you guys decide to use paracetamol on another person's headache. Someone told you is his personal belief to pay tithe and you are questioning him.
Religion is a personal belief just as tithing. You are in a society that allows adult and even children to make their own decision but No, you are still stuck with ur Naija mentality of ethnocentrism.

If you like go and be questioning your colleague at work about their gender identity, may be you will learn to respect people's opinion.

genkins:


Ok now u are sounding sensible.
Second question.where did your god say u should give him monetary tithe?
You believe ?where did u get that believe from?
You believe tithing is like a tax...do they run a theocracy in Nigeria or UK?ok,it's in kingdom?lol
You tithe because you love God?in the scriptures,is there any where that connots that to show your love for God,you should tithe?

You believe it's God instruction?who told you that?

See ehn,these questions nobody can ask from where you are coming from but as an adult,you should use your God given head to ask and answer these questions and not just..I believe..where u born with the believe?wasn't it implanted in you by people that were obviously less informed?

Guys please, I'm in urgent need of an adult/childminder in Edinburgh, particularly around West Lothian/livingstone area to help me mind my kids for 2hrs a day, between 2 and 4 days a week.
My wife gets home about 11pm and I have to go to work at 930pm. There is really nothing to do, just an adult at the house between 930 and 11.
I'm willing to pay about 11£ per hour. It's very urgent. I resume on Monday the 30th

Look up to you? Lmao tufiakwa.

I've never said anything about tithe. You see how you keep bringing that up in irrelevant contexts like a toddler throwing a tantrum and determined to be as loud and obnoxious as possible till it has its way?

Anyway, your behaviour does, unfortunately, seem to set the tone for the thread due to your position. I'm sure you won't see that and I'm not really typing this for your benefit - it's for other, hopefully more level-headed people, to calm things down.

Whatever first fruit means to you... Bible commands that we bring first fruit of harvest...in any case either you do it annually or monthly it is still the same as tithe and God made it so.

Having been in the UK, I now understand why tithing was an issue to some Nigerians. However if you personally feel it is a rip off, just take that as your opinion.
There are pastors who take advantage of it and get dubious, but tithing was not designed to make pastor richer than members... However some Pastors who have become extremely rich are natural business men who would flourish wherever they work. I might condemn those who sell anointing oil and water but selling books , audios, videos or establishing educational institutions are very justified means of a natural business man be it a pastor or not.

People with so much anger about tithing and enriching pastor should also take bold step to sue home office to stop wasting millions of your tax🤣 to fund Bibby Stockholm's maintenance and illegal migrant expenses...take them to court and direct your anger to a proper channel since you have stopped paying Nigerian pastor's, at least UK compulsory own too should monitored and challenged

You are confused as always, if my behaviour set the tone for the thread and people go along with me that simply means they look up to me. If a grown adult like you is incapable of behaving differently then you are not man enough to judge me.

Hi everyone.
I really need your advice as I believe this community has been so helpful to a lot, wish I knew so many things earlier.


Just finished my MSc in Data Science here in UK, awaiting my result in November. However, there is and has been a knowledge gap and intuitively I thought to register for a data analytics boot camp, that starts in November and runs for 8-10 weeks (Primary modules completed by December ending) in hopes that I am able to better my knowledge and eventually get a visa that sponsors my stay back in the UK

My dilemma is my current visa expires in Feb 15 2024 and We are a family of 4. I am at a crossroads as to the best step to take given the timeframe

I live in Cardiff and have even sought the most commonly switched-to-visa to no avail

I know you must have come across situations similar to mine, what do you advise I do pls?

Thanks so much

Why is it a dilemma? that you have 4 months on your visa? You are in the UK legally and there's a pathway to continue to stay legally. Don't let the pressure of skilled worker visa stress you out unnecessarily. I know the concern is about countdown to ILR, but trust me, there's a world of opportunities in this Youkay, and if what I hear about the data job market generally is correct, then I think you're on the right path. There's so much you can do - ILR or not, as long as you're in here legally.

As per the "commonly switched to visa", my advice is DON'T DO IT because you're going to be restricted to working primarily for the sponsor and you will need to switch again when you find the role you want. It'll be even more frustrating if you don't enjoy doing it.

I would advice you go ahead with your training, start/continue applying for your professional roles and see what happens until February.

In my opinion, you are better off switching to your graduate visa in February than actively looking to switch to a care visa now. Trust me, the graduate visa is a gem! It allows you work unrestricted, you can even do multiple jobs and switch as many times as you like until you find your niche. (Employers in my experience even feel more comfortable employing someone on a graduate visa than someone on a skilled visa)

Stay hopeful that you will get a professional job soon, in the meantime, keep doing what you've said here, you're on the right track!

Get the skills, go back to google and search for those same jobs and apply.

Has anyone been able to return successfully to Nigerian recently with an expired Nigerian Passport?

I'm going back in December through Virgin. I was there last December too and could see the banners at the arrival section stating that Nigerians with expired passports are allowed to return to the country.

Mine expired last month and i've tried to apply for a replacement but don't yet have the NIN number. I registered for it in Nigeria last year and i collected the slip. Truth be told, i'm sincerely not looking forward to that dreadful journey to the High Commission in London. The thought of that place alone sends shivers down my spine but you've gotta what you gotta do.

I've got a British Passport so the return trip shouldn't be an issue.

Zakat is given in islam to the poor...note..to the poor not the preacher.

For you to give Zakat,u have to qualify for it.you would have to be able to take care of yourself,your family members and neighbors before you can give to the poor.

Note again..the poor
That's why u won't see any imam driving rolce Royce.
According to Christ in matt 25 31-46,which of the giving is christlike?zakat or tithe?

Answer by yourself.
