Temmythayor005: I’ll share with you what worked for me, i applied through many means like LinkedIn, reed, totals job, CV library but what really works is that I visit many companies career websites because I realised that some adverts are not out there. For example, I check top 50 investment banks, accounting firms or top companies in particular area and I visit their career websites to apply for related vacancies after I tailored my CV to suit the role, this can be tiring but it works for me. I also signed up with some agencies e.g The consultancy and reed. The fact is that there will be a lot of regret mails but don’t be discouraged about it and I’m happy you’ve got UK experience so keep pushing 4 Likes 3 Shares |

lavida001: The Hamas terrorists ( mind you, I didn’t say the Palestinians) viciously attacked innocent Israeli civilians, including hundreds of youngsters at a music festival on October 7. This girl made those statements, glorying the Hamas acts on October 8. As at the time she was rejoicing at the Hamas actions, Israel had not even decided on next steps yet. If Your interpretation of ‘freedom of speech’ is to say you are ‘full of joy’ that terrorists attacked, killed, raped and abducted innocent concert goers and killed innocent people in their Kibbutz then something is not right somewhere. In case you do not know it, glorifying acts of terrorism is a crime, in the UK. This has nothing to do with Freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is not freedom of terrorism. 7 Likes |

lavida001: The nominal GDP difference is not so remarkable but when broken down and compared in more relatable terms, it becomes stunning. One is a past empire the other is the world economic powerhouse for over a century. The snapshot by an FT article threw this into the limelight again. The US practically saved the UK from collapse a number of times and Britains foreign policy for sometime has been likened by some to just asking what America wants and doubling down on it e.g with Huawei The US obsession with guns is troubling but the wider effect is largely exaggerated.

For the second paragraph its called adhominem. But out of curiosity, please give me examples of how I 'disparage Brits and Britain all the time' |

Viruses: Considering a loosely similar approach but gone more with the later. Ultimately it boils down to what interest rate you have on your mortgage, how long is left on the fixed period and what the numbers from you local btl market (if looking locally) stack up to. The end numbers from BTL aren't so juicy as many think. Its main advantage is still being the ability to leverage. An index fund either in a pension or ISA may provide good returns with much less hassle than a BTL |

jedisco: Absolutely….Most of the corporations in the uk are American owned also Heard that Heathrow is partly owned by the Qataris. Indians GDP has also surpassed that of England for the first time. They really need to fix up if they want to remain globally relevant. Well what do I know I am just going to mind my African business. |

Please gurus in the house, Does IHS cover for MRI and CT scans? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 8:29am On May 19 |
lavida001: Abosolute GDP doesn't say much when comparing different sized nations. GDP per capita is a better metric. Better still when adjusted e.g fir PPP. Wouldn't bother much about who owns a heavily regulated local infrastructure which the govt can easily seize on 'national security concerns. All said the UK would be among the top 5 destinations Nigerians seeking to emigrate all things considered i.e economy, secularism, ease of integration etc. My grouse was the hypocrisy behind the 'seeking utopia' jibe when those who decided on their brain and grit to immigrate here now consider options elsewhere. Loads of local British folks move to other nations in search of greener pastures. Many even seek to retire in Europe or Asia. No one comes to mock their motive. 2 Likes 1 Share |

jedisco: That means my GP won’t charge me if I ask for an MRI or CT scan? I don’t feel well. I’m asking because I’ve been paying for my prescription despite the IHS fees I paid before relocating to the uk. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by ReesheesuKnack: 9:14am On May 19 |
TheUnburnt: In England, you pay ~ £9.35 per prescription. Normally, you don’t ask for a CT scan or MRI. In normal circumstances, the professional examines you, and decide if your case requires an MRI or CT scan or not. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 9:22am On May 19 |
TheUnburnt: Aside some exempt groups (e.g children, adults on benefits, older folks...) everyone else pays a given sum for their NHS prescription irrespective of the cost of the medication. This was introduced years back to help with funding. If on regular medications, you could look at getting a prepayment certificate which is a periodic sum and could work out cheaper if you certain number of meds frequently. Alternatively, you could ask your practice to make your script run for 2 months Regarding requesting for investigations, it shouldn't be offered to you based solely on the grounds that you requested. If you have an issue then you could book an appointment with your GP who'd discuss this with you and what means to proceed with investigations (if required). If you're keen on a CT or MRI, its worth mentioning it there and your doctor would be able to say why or why not. If you feel acutely unwell outside hours (and you think its serious enough it can't wait for your GP), then its 111 or A&E where virtually same process applies but in a tailored version. 1 Like |
