Zahra29: That is my impression here, if that guy was mentally ok and really wanted to bomb the school i don't think he will send a threat first openly before carrying it out. Yes his threat looks dangerous and should be taken seriously but i have never seen or read about a terrorist who alerted his potential victim first before carrying out the act. 1 Like |

justwise: Let’s just guess it was frustration and pressure of school that led him to this but with all the rhetoric these days of net migration any loophole will be taken advantage of. Reason we admonish people to be careful, it’s a free democratic society but with lots of unwritten caveats especially for folks on a visa. 2 Likes |

I hope everyone is seeing how Revolut is trending on Twitter. They blocked someone's account with his school fees in it. 10K euros, according to him Always leave your savings in banks that have physical addresses, like Barclays and the like, to avoid stories that touch the body and soul Also, it seems the UK is going really broke with the way they are looking to cut benefits, as in the autumn statement. It's almost as if the current gov is clueless as to how to generate money or manage the one they have. They have also started the usual immigrant blame game and moaning, per usual Seems I will look deeply at japa inside japa next year ![]() 6 Likes |

hustla: They're talking about cutting benefits (again - benefits has been one of the top issues since Tories got into power 13 years ago) in an attempt to force some of the economically inactive back into work. In the autumn statement yesterday, Hunt increased benefits and also cut taxes (national insurance) so it's not about lack of money, but rather the perception that many of those not working are too comfortable on their benefits. 4 Likes |

Zahra29: it is not just to pay off fees. People at home are putting them under pressure. and the bad thing is that people who put them under this pressure do not hustle this way. I entered an african shop last week in the evening around 4/5pm and saw a man on queue standing and struggling with sleep. When our eyes met he could see the look on my face. People at home know they have fees to pay but start placing huge demands on them while still schooling. 4 Likes |

UniqueDext: What did the police say? Have you had a call or email response from the council regarding your complaint? Have you contacted the charity, shelter? She's obviously operating an illegal HMO hence why she's pretending to live in the property with her family. I'll suggest you don't pay her the rent or pack out until she returns the door back to its hinges. Do you know if she registered your deposit with an approved deposit scheme? 1 Like |

This is wrong. I am challenging it so that recent expatriates do not get the wrong idea. This gentleman has done nothing wrong. The LL ,on the other hand, has committed several offences. The processes of punishing her as a deterrent is going much more slower than expected. BUT op, do not drop it. Chase it until somebody comes around. Many things are getting left in the UK now because of poor staffing so chase up your complaint. Dont let anybody tell you you are at fault. Nigerian logic does not work here lavida001: 5 Likes |

Good evening seniors. Please kindly recommend a standard online bootcamp for a beginner in data science here in the UK. I can work with SQL, SPSS and Excel to some extent. There are alot of them online but I am looking for a good one based on recommendations. Thank you very much. |

This UK can be challenging, especially when you have family [wife or/and kid(s)]. Very challenging when you come in and you have to adjust your standard of living (like jumping buses and trains) instead of your car(s) back in Naija. Sometimes this things make you want to give up and get you stressed. I don’t want to talk about job search, interviews and house hunt. This things take a toll and sometimes make us question our decision of relocating. But, if you can hold on and have proper planning, you will reap the fruits and wake up someday smiling. For those with wife/partner, it becomes more fulfilling when you and your partner work and get lots of savings after bills. The stress living in the UK as a new immigrant is worsening as people tend to work lots of hours and want to acquire so many things in short time. Things don’t have to be that way. Plan yourself, work with your own timing. Make personal decisions that favor you and your family. Avoid contacts with people in Naija till you are well to do and can give them what you know they really want. Have quiet times, plan and strategize on how to beat your hurdles. Go for long walks to clear your head. Work with your wife/husband in everything. This UK is sweater if you have and live at peace with your partner. Focus on yourself (or family if you are married). Work lesser hours and spend more time with your family. Distant yourself from anyone whom you have found to be putting some pressure on you (even if it’s your extended family). Go out with classmates and colleagues if you are single. Make Europe travel plans with them. Take things easy with yourself. Ignore Lexus advice on “rent money is dead money”. Make your own plans and live as a tenant happily. Lexus didn’t buy a house in his first 3yrs in the UK as well as Justwise and the rest ( I don’t know them personally but they fit for this line 😁) but if they did, they can correct me. Take things easy, don’t add to the statistics of Nigerians that drop down due to stress. You don’t need too much money in the UK if you live for yourself and/or family (wife n kids). Make long term plans rather than “pressured short term”. Na who de alive go enjoy their savings oooo. Take life easy. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

Goke7: Regarding profiling. The issue is understanding the import of your statement. Flip your statement on any other group, say it in public and you're toast. That Mrs A was convicted and happens to be a Scottish, Nigerian, Muslim, Black e.t.c does not mean that every Scottish or Muslim person should go for mental evaluation and reorientation before they're allowed into 'advanced England' There are hundreds of thousands of Nigerians in the UK going about their business many of whom are doing well. Why not constantly remind us of their success? If your goal is really to warn us about crime and not dehumanize, then the there are hundreds of convictions occuring daily in the UK which you could post. A story of a convicted Welsh or Pakistani man should equally send same message. These things add up and soon become systemic with two examples below. 3 Likes

ehizario2012: This is not hardwork, packing shifts front and back is not hardwork, it's just greed and taking the easy way out. As immigrants, our goal shouldn't be to increase the number of hours we work, rather to increase the amount we earn per hour. Hardwork is doing an indepth personal reflection and mapping out key personal and professional development steps and religiously pursue it. Making yourself more valuable. That is the hardwork, unfortunately many people try it and give up the next seconds after hitting one or two brick walls and will gladly stick to doing a 60hours shift every week on minimum wage. We own it to both ourselves, our partner and our kids, 8 Likes |

Suellas spirit. Still kicking. Her last point should have been to limit the number of kids folks who migrated can have. Interesting how workers earlier on gulped the 6% public wage rise which was funded by immigrants, now cheered the reduction in taxes, increase in benefits and state pension. This new largesse was driven by an unexpected budget surplus largely due to relative economic growth. No one is asking what role immigrants/students played in making this possible 2 Likes

Goke7: Ha ha 🙈😂 Well I will concede that the UK is almost in danger of almost heading into almost broke territory lol - if it doesn't course correct soon. For example the tax giveaways would be better off being redirected towards plugging the funding gaps in the public sector. |
