lavida001: Council don’t need more powers to provide affordable housing, they need more funding. In Scotland, affordable housing budget was cut by almost £200million for 2024/25. Imagine how many houses the Councils could have built with that money across Scotland. 2 Likes |

heroshark: I meant if Canadian Express entry is a pathway one is considering or undecided about, then a visit to Canada can be a good step in getting a direct feel plus also interact with professionals over there before deciding on a move. 2 Likes |

Guys, I have been trying to get an extended warranty for my 2012 Ford fiesta, but every warranty company I have tried (AA, RAC, Warranty wise) says my car has to be less than 12 years old. The mileage on the car is 57k. Please what other option do I have? |

ubby26: Check that your vehicle does not have the dreaded ecoboost, aka ecoboom engine..... If it's not the ecoboom engine....... Just put about £45 aside every month (to cover emergencies).......🤔 Vehicles don't normally go wrong, if appropriately maintained and serviced...... 😁 Warranty companies, usually shy away from older vehicles (you suppose sabi why)....., 🤣 5 Likes 1 Share |

BouharryArtikou: I had to go search for the main post as I didn’t want to quote wrongly and start arguments afresh. While we can debate all day about public fund, benefits and what one is entitled to, we can all agree that the conditions surrounding the government support shows it is meant for people finding it a bit challenging to meet up in some way and a good support will help them get back on their feet. We all have different views on this subject but I don’t think we should crucify each other for our beliefs. I believe you didn’t actually use a good opportunity that you are/should be entitled to. LOAN. If I were in your shoes what I would have done would be, get a loan from the bank to pay for the ILR fees, and pay the bank back in their payment plan. That option would have kept your earthly confidence (money) intact. You would have had you £10k+ in your account while the bank get from part of your future earning. No be say you de run, you go de for the country for years, them don give you ILR them don give you. One funny Nigerian saying: “I go pay no de go jail” Yes, a lot of us hate loans and all that, but we can’t deny the economy we find ourself is a credit economy. Loan help you build more credit here, plus institutions would be happy to lend you more based on your credit worthiness. To round up, I would say, just give 2 to 3 months, you will be fine when the salary alert comes in. And yes it’s annoying the amount we pay just to be here with our family. It’s even more annoying how much we contribute to the economy (tax), then still get to pay this crazy sum to be a member in the society. E go end one day. Pele, Take heart. Let the joy of say you can now begin “do contract jobs, then go long vacation and come back to start another contract job” put smile on your face. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Chreze: The way I rationalize paying hefty immigration sums upon renewal is that, its my way of getting another passport while paying in instalments. lol. Back in 2015 -2017 a few friend were shelling out between $60,000 to $100,000 to get a second passport, I just dey look they ask "where una dey see this money"? So in order not to scatter my mental health I tell myself that na same thing I dey do but Home office just dey allow me do instalment payments. ![]() 13 Likes |

God bless everyone that shared info about this 0% purchase credit card 🙌. I just got approved for 0% for 21months with a generous credit limit. I will start preparing for ILR payment using the card.😋 To the brother who shared the initial issues, God bless you as your gist brought solution to so many people.

Lexusgs430: Clear balance or move to another 0% balance transfer card on expiration of the 24/36 months. Rinse and repeat and never get to pay interest on the old balance. You need to be financially disciplined for this to work - no new spends on the credit cards as the interest will be due immediately. 1 Like |
