EJIOGBENIMI: Palmers coconut butter. Prepare to use it lavishly. Vaseline lip therapy for dry lips. You will have to reapply often during the day. Also use sunscreen at least spf 25 Dermatologists appointments as an extra. That's how people stay fresh over here Fair and white days are over, I m afraid. The government cracks down on skin lightening products over here. So skin lightening creams over here are dodgy as may have some inimical things inside. 1 Like 1 Share |

lastkingsman: If u bought dollars in anticipation better offload. The crisis started ehen Nigeria started forming like they are in the west. At a time, the interst rate in uk was higher than Nigeria. That is what they call madness. Foreigners took their money away cos they brought in their money in at 360 and couldnt take it out at that rate it eroded the gains and part of the capital. For the rate u saw, the last time cbn had that type of rate was on monday 25th. Between monday and tuesday there was a huge jump to 1300 something. My fear about this is thebpersonality of Tinubu he has his guys in the money making places. These people are same people that served under him in Lagos. His eyes is on the money. 1 Like |

deept:Lol peopke collect loans from Japan by using Japanese men to front collect loan at a low rate bring it in earn a high amount on Tb. Return it and it continues. All those people u will just hear "e go japan" go do business next thing the japanese man may viskt naija if need be. Now foreigners are entering the market any how especially hedge funds. That is why we hear increase in forex turnover everyday. |

Poanan: That means there are people who know what we don't know with the recent influx of FX into the country to buy gov debt. How are these rates sustainable? Plus at some point these guys will have to take their money out, aren't we back to square one? |

ReesheesuKnack: We are talking about benefits, you are using gift as example. Looking at the criteria to be qualified for some benefits, would you rather receive them than give? Incase you still want to use the childcare benefit to counter my point, I didn't mean absolutely all benefits, just most.

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by ReesheesuKnack: 12:04pm On Mar 30 |
Viruses: Slowly but surely, you will move the goalposts. Thank you for agreeing (after your initial wrong presumption) that benefits are not an exclusive reserve of the ‘underprivileged’. If I was you, I would save the bits about investing the child benefits for your children. If I was you, I will thank contributors who have enlightened you because your idea of Benefits (initially) was conflated with Universal credit (or similar schemes). No more debate (arguments) with you. I am sure hundreds of people have learned from the conversation. When you (finally) obtain your ILR or citizenship, if you like, don’t claim the Benefits that are rightfully yours - your choice. |

See what our country is ‘investing’ resources into… But no, it’s the trans-Atlantic slave trade that is the problem. No, its colonialism that is the issue. No, it’s the white man that is the problem. No, it’s the ‘West’ that is the problem. Shame! 3 Likes 1 Share

dupyshoo: The bootcamps are very useful indeed, and just to add that ILR is not a prerequisite to get in. The primary eligibility issue is having resided in the UK for the past three years and having right to work. No Recourse to Public Funds does not cover further education funding. https://www.nulondon.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Eligibility-Criteria-for-Skills-Bootcamp-in-Service-Design-and-Management-1.pdf https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adult-education-budget-aeb-funding-rules-2023-to-2024/esfa-funded-adult-education-budget-funding-rules-2023-to-2024 11 Likes 1 Share |

hustla: I saw your initial post and don't agree with it. You're conflating two things- which is using a snapshot in of human history to make a general statement about a race. We've seen dynasties and civilisations rise and fall and each power would have made same statement about others. Where were the Europeans when ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, mastared astronomy e.t.c. The Pharaohs would have called europeans eternal savages e.t.c The only difference today is the rise of the west coincided with a period of human tech and communication advancement that has brought us close together which makes brainwashing and neo-colonialism persist. Ask yourself, why does the average Nigerian chorus the statement that Chinese loans are bad while they worry not about the over 10x more we have taken from western agencies with nothing to show. Also, I have huge interest in policy and macroeconomics. Many of the drivers of trade today were put in place by the west and serves to perpetuate their feudalism by subverting others. How many nations were there when the decision was made to make the dollar the world reserve currency or the institute the IMF was made. Wouldn't the makeup and outcome of that conference be very different if it held today? The IMF exists to debase and devalue developing nations so western powers have access to cheap resources. How many non-western nations has interraction with the IMF brought longterm gains? Now, its moved from material to human resources. Today, due to those decisions, the US prints dollars out of thin air, while many African nations have to lend same paper money at rates of over 10%. Rates that even the everyday American wouldn't lend for. How can Djibouti afford to lend money at a higher rate than Germany? The UK forcefully enforced opium on the Chinese amlost reducing them to savages and oversaw the death of millions of Indians via famine so Britain's food reserves could remain full. The general economic slowdown in the west today is not unconnected to the rise of the Asians esp China. China has shown same can be done on a large scale within a generation. WHEN same occurs in Africa, certain things would give. 5 Likes |

Stumbled upon this post elsewhere and thought to share here as I feel might benefit a few. With the student visa rules, it's quite clear that many masters students with families would have to return after 2 yrs except they source a qualifying job (less likely). For single folks, they'd likely be looking at seeking (or paying) for a care COS while making sure they remain single. Ultimately we need to seek the best and stability for ourselves.

Just stumbled upon the rumour that King Charles has pancreatic cancer. Hope its not true. But if true, I feel sad about it. My thoughts are with him. Cancer is a b**ch but pancreatic ca is a different beast. Due to the location of the pancreas its many times only diagnosed late and for same reason, if not caught very early it's mostly not ammenable to active treatment. The dying process is also terrible characterised by intractable pain. 1 Like |

ReesheesuKnack: The way you guys understand things sometimes though is baffling...you've quickly used the phrase exclusive reserve, who said it was exclusively reserved? If you would rather be at the receiving end of benefits no problem. Everyone will be alright. |

Taal17: No it's not. They specifically said it was not Ca Prostate. I thought it would be bowel ca. Ca Pancreas is curable in the early stages if can be surgically removed. You can be sure they ll move heaven and earth to cure him if at all possible. My people say the herbalist will never let his child die even if he uses up all the herbs in the forest. I am a republican but I do not wish cancer on even my worst enemy. I wish him a quick recovery but if not possible, may his path be painless and without regrets. |

ReesheesuKnack: Knew this would happen. Deliberately did not put the usual caveat that limits whataboutism. The focus here is whether the underachievement of Africa is due to an innate genetic inferiority of the black man either as a person or as a group Macroeconomic drivers do not excuse local mismanagement and corruption. However, manytimes, the later is an end result of the former plus unwarranted International interference. Do you think the British empire achieved it's wealth and strength (at a time ruling almost half of the world) because they were less corrupt than others? 5 Likes |

Viruses: Bro.. please, stop this posturing. Learn. Please, learn. You may not realise, but your use of certain phrases betrays a lot of … poor understanding. What do you mean ‘receiving end’? You say it as if the term ‘Benefits’ is some sort of reserved for cup-in-hand situations. “…receiving end…” No. Please. Learn. |
