LORETA: Sorry to hear about your predicament. From my experience, I’ve been to a Women’s hospital where a Naija lady had multiple fibroids removed. Consultants were joking she’d lost so much weight post-surgery. I don’t know whether it was a scheduled procedure or if she came in via A&E. If you’re that much pain/discomfort, I’d suggest going through A&E. Maybe talk to Doctor friends for advice on trigger words to use etc. Hopefully you get seen soon. Good luck! 1 Like |

LORETA:No not NHS. There are loads out there online… if you can’t find any private medical insurance let me know I’ll recommend mine. |

ReesheesuKnack:It works you just have to tell the truth. They’ll also get in touch with your GP to know exactly what they are signing up for. Thou premium might be high but it would be cost effective if you have to stay on prolonged medical treatments |

Tier4Dependant: Thanks for sharing. Hopefully the inflation pay for 24/25 will push the B3 pay to 23,500 if awarded at 3%. London should get ready for those of us on B6 that couldn't get the COS before April 4 due to Trusts policy of issuing COS 3 months to current visa expiry. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Tier4Dependant: 11:23pm On Mar 27 |
Controlv: Exactly my point, I’m not really bothered cos I believe the agenda for change 24/25 will push band 3 entry pay to at least more than £23,200 Hopefully by June/July the new pay rate for nhs should be out |

Ran an eligibility check, got approved by Natwest for 19months 0% purchase and balance transfer card. My question now is: Does that our pattern of using around 30 - 35% credit limit still applies to this type of card?? Or one can use everything and pay within the time frame. Want to know before I proceed with the application or make I just leave the thing and go my way. Cos if that credit card limit apply, then na bank loan go favour me. Abeg who de awake make e help me answer this question. |

Chreze: That 30% usage, is simply a guide...... I personally, totally ignore that usage limit........😂 Rule of thumb : Don't over leverage yourself..... Use what you can easily and conveniently payback..... Simple.....😜😁 My credit score might drop a bit, but when it rises..... It goes up like the rod of Moses (I have never missed a payment + never gone over my limits)..... This 2 factors, are the koko.......😁 7 Likes 1 Share |

hustla: This is pseudoscientific nonsense. The state of mind described here would be the same for any group of people with the same lack of education/exposure, and whose horizons and ambitions were limited as a result. People like Lugard said the same about indigenous people everywhere else from America to Australia, etc. It’s part of the MO of conquerors to dehumanize those they conquer to justify their actions. Civilizations like the Mongols also likely held similar ideas about how much better they were than the other countries when they ruled half the world, but now they’re a tiny inconsequential country. People from the former colonies are increasingly occupying high positions in politics, business, professional fields and everywhere else in the UK and elsewhere, including an outsized contingent from Nigeria, so it’s clearly not about anything in the brain and about the society and the education, rule of law and other factors that keep people in line. Much as I hate to cite colonialism, fact is that the forced mashup of several groups in Nigeria is a major reason for the inability to have a cohesive national front to tackle issues. Britain with just 4 ethnic groups has had civil wars among them, with the most recent just a few decades ago although they cleverly call it ‘the Troubles’ and not a civil war. Till just last month governance was paused in Northern Ireland because of underlying ethno-religious disputes under the guise of parties not being able to agree (although if it was in Africa they’d say it was ‘tribal warring). So isn’t it logical that Nigeria is struggling more? I don’t think that excuses the people in power and us as Nigerians in general but it’s important to put issues in context and not take to simplistic assessments just because they sound witty. To be clear I’m not disputing your right to believe you as an individual ‘African native’ are far nearer to the animal world and do not have ambition and all the rest o - feel free to internalize and work with that, I’m saying it’s not true for the generality of Africans. 10 Likes |

Santa2: The balance transfer card, comes with it's own limit....... If you pay off Amex, don't close AMEX(simply hide it away)....... 🤣😁 Let's assume your BT card comes with £8K limit, you still have £4K to blow (blow it wisely)..... If not, apply for another BT card, and keep moving....... 😜 4 Likes |

Tier4Dependant: My questions: 1. Does this apply to NHS staff/candidates ONLY? 2. If it applies to ALL Carers and Senior Carers, does that mean people in this category can still bring their dependants, still change employer (of course within the same SOC) and extend their visa? I have been arguing with some persons about this interpretation.

lastkingsman: Lol i am not a fan of Tinubu but thia is yhe best he can do. Ours was already falling wihout defending the naira. Lebanon defaulted on its foreign debt. They went and issued a bond in foreign currency and time to pay they couldnt pay. So there was nothing they could do than to devalue their currency. That is one of the downsides of issuung bond in a currency you do not own. Coming to exchange rate regimes practised by variious countries, they practice what works best on them. It is not cast on stone that it most be a free float to get things right. If u look at Saudi, uae and see what they practise u will understand. Nigeria gets nore forex from Treasury bill than crude oil. E shock u abi? Ask some people in certain dept in cbn from supervisoru grade above or even slme people u SEC who moved from cbn. They cant come out to say it. But even as an outsider u will see it that in recent times since the govt tried to reflect the interest rate in the money market to a great extent, that there receuved more forex in one month than what they received through out the previous year. The reason is because foreigners are invested in that money market which guatantees steady supply of forex that will be used to defend naira. Our problem is more of coruption than the economic model we practise. If naira is defended and fuel subsidised i dont think it is too much. Just watch bow those your very rich uncles will start travelling to japan to do business. Business my foot. If i enter that matter the post will be overly long . 2 Likes |

May i exclude my past and future generations from this incredibly racist description. You may accept it for yourself, i have no problem with that. As he was writing this s**t about us, his people were pooing in the Thames. Infact ,during summer,the thames smelled so Much that parliament had to be suspended. Children as young as 3 years old were put to work among other barbaric practices. Not planning for the future is a common failing in bad leaders of every race. Infact, the current housing crisis in the UK can be linked directly to this . I hope it wont be long before Kogi state renames its government house (currently its called Lugard house). This man should be confined to the soakaway of history. hustla: 8 Likes |

Poanan: If this is the best Tinubu can do, then we are finished. Have you checked Nigeria recent debt servicing to revenue ratio? Just check it and get back to me. CBN rate is 1400/$ but they are selling $$$ at 1260/$ to BDC. Isn't that madness? Is using FX reserves to defend currency value sustainable? That's my concern 1 Like |
