Gurus in the house, I’ve been trying to book a Schengen visa appointment for days but I can’t seem to find any. Does anyone know how I can land one? |

Lol I can’t believe people are treating a shitshow where millions of lives have been lost on both sides like it’s a football club. Doing “I’m team this” “I’m team that”. One would almost forget that hospitals with neonatal units are being bombed AND even Israel hostages still being held on the other side have legitimate fear for their lives, because these bombings are “take-all”, it’s not going to separate the Palestinians it’s intended for from the hostages still being held captive. Mainstream news truly blights the human conscience fr. 1 Like |

justwise: It's not about passing blame games. You need to review the total debt stock of these nations, what these loans were used for, the opportunity forgone and then decide. Looking at Nigeria we know quite well, we've been inundated with warnings of how China would soon own Nigeria- callings which forced the DMO to create a special document for these loans. Loans from China account for less than 10% of our external debt stock. Oddly, they have accounted for over 90% of major FG funded infrastructure over the last decade. Abuja airport, rails etc- these are things I have used and been impressed by. Can you tell me what the other 90% borrowed has been used for? Are we more likely to go broke by the 'smaller' and very productive sums borrowed from China at rates of 3% or less or by our huge eurobond debts some running at over 10 % interest much of which has now been looted back into Europe? Just like I've done with Nigeria, give me a breakdown of any of the countries listed and we discuss. P.s. the workings of China should be rightly scrutinised but even more scrutiny should go to western agencies which have ruined countless nations. This scrutiny is sorely lacking. 4 Likes

Atk1nson: First can you tone down with the emotion and racism as highlighted. Secondly, virtually every western news outlet and public official has been warning Africa on the dangers of China. Pause and ask yourself why the sudden care. Is it out of love? Let me remind you that in less than 50yrs, China took over 750million people out of poverty. Take that away and there's been very little change in world poverty. They might eventually become a super world power and likely the first to achieve that in human history without invading any other nation - a far cry from every previous world power that left pillage and suffering in their wake. Thirdly, Africans have had over 400yrs of interraction with the west. We are evidently in the right to air views. Lastly, see my post above and tell exactly how your statement 'Nigeria is also facing huge budgetary problems due to servicing chinese loans, a problem likely to get worse in the future' holds true. 6 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Tolzeal(m): 9:25am On Jan 16 |
Ukliving: -You should have check eligibility before applying. That would leave a hard search on your profile . I’d suggest not trying to apply for anymore CC for the next few months . Use apps like Credit Karma or ClearScore to find pre-qualified CC before applying 1 Like 3 Shares |

So I just got a credit card with high interest rate. The rate doesn't bother me anyway because my intention is to use the card to buy things from Asda for instance and then pay back to boost my credit limit limit and score. My question us this, should I always wait for them to send me statement or I should just return the money used as soon as I used it. Please help so as to avoid paying interest. Thanks. |

elengine: The best practice is to set up a direct debit and try to keep your payment under control prior to your statement date, ensuring your statement always has a reasonable balance. 1 Like |

I really don't understand why some people cannot think straight. You hit someone with an hammer and start crying when he brings out a gun? Does hamas care about the suffering of their people? For the fact that they are still keeping Israeli hostage and firing rockets shows they are interested in fighting and ready for the consequences. What have the Palestinians suffered that has not been suffered by Black people in the past, yet we don't go around killing and kidnapping. Let the terrorists drop their weapons and give activism a chance. At least Black people had persons like Martin Luther, Mandela and India had Ghandi. It may take time and sacrifice but things would eventually get better. justwise: 1 Like |

hayesconcept: Hi Please I need help. I applied to renew my Nigerian passport in July 2023. I did my capturing on 18th October 2023, paid the post order too. I was given a slip saying collection date is 15th December 2023 and I'm yet to receive it. I am due to switch my student visa but I'm yet to do biometrics as my current passport expires 23rd January 2024. Please how do I contact high commission? Or Do I go to London? |

Not sure you need the passport to do your PSW application. Set up your UKVI account using your existing BRP details. As for the renewed passport, have you checked the status through https://track.immigration.gov.ng/? Qwesiri: 1 Like 2 Shares |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by hayesconcept(m): 3:39pm On Jan 16 |
You have to exercise patience for your passport to come out. You can actually switch your visa with expired passport. Since you will switch inside the UK. Just use the ID check app with your BRP and you don’t need to go for any capturing. You just need to write a cover letter to explain the reason why you’re using expired passport and also attached your passport renewal form. Switch your visa and be good Qwesiri: 1 Like 1 Share |

SamAfrik: I feel really sorry for innocent Palestinians who got caught up in this war, they are the real victims here and not Hamas. Israel is doing what any country will do even though don’t support their occupation of Palestinian land which leads to this endless conflict. Palestinians will have even wider support if not for Hamas 1 Like |
