missjekyll: That’s not my point.When you look at the modules of these courses you realize that they are watered down version of another course but made to look ‘exciting’.At the end of the day there’s very little use to these degrees or should i say there are limitations with what you can do with them. |

America001: You don't have to wait if you have the wherewithal to have her in a childminder or nursery. Otherwise, you'd be waiting. Either ways, you'd pay some money until she turns four. Having a child here is full time work and massive budget until they of course turn three and over. |

America001: No you can enrol your baby into nursery at any age, but at 3 years old you will qualify for 15 hours free childcare which is universal. She will start school in the September after she turns 4. |

Resurgent2016: One of the students in the article said he had the full funds for his course in his savings but the value was depleted by the currency crisis. I'm curious, if this was the case and knowing how volatile the naira has been, wouldn't they have transferred the funds into pounds at the earliest opportunity to protect its value? Or is that not possible? |

Ejid1: Hmmm... This comment opens up another vista... You like a society where there'll be no wastage, a society where ALL would be productive. You abhor wastage, more like disliking "useless eaters" as one European leader once said. By calling a course ridiculous is just a tip on how I think you view society generally, there's freedom of choice, and I expect people who spent years studying that course to request/demand an apology you know? Well, before you think otherwise, I am also in support that some courses are frivolous. But then, that's how the thinking of Aryanism started. |

Zahra29: It is not uncommon for some to exchange their £ for ₦. Essentially selling theirs £ to the highest bidder in other to get as much ₦ as possible, they then use the converted ₦ to pay their fees at a much discounted rate using the CBN form A when it was a thing so they can get more £ than the one they converted. As the Form A process is not exactly swift, quite a number of people would have still been in the pool during the exchange rate crisis which would have truly decimated their savings. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Good morning Seniors, please i need some advice Currently, I only have one bank account, which is Revolut, it is also the account I use to receive my salary and make any expenses, I don't have their physical card yet, I only use the digital card. (1). I want to open a new account majorly for savings, and maybe building my credit score. Which bank would you suggest I open an account with. (2). Is it okay to continue using Revolut as my main/salary account, or after opening the new acc, I should use it as my main account. (3). I'm looking to buy a new iPhone (or refurbished), where is the best place to get a good deal/price. Is back market good? Thanks bosses |

directonpc: I think you need to change or expand your circle of friends and associates. I know many many people who work in those scenarios you described above. Some of us even got the jobs while still on student visa and employers had to reservethe roles for us, some with sponsorship even. And I know people who got the Global Talent visa even from Nigeria. One thing I keep telling people is there are plenty of opportunities in this land. They don't come easy of course, but with tenacity and open mind, they are absolutely reachable. 12 Likes |

UrFears: If I were in your shoes, I'll open a new account with any of the high street banks( Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds, Barclays etc they are all different variants of the same thing, just pick one) and move my salary there and possibly open another account with a second neobank to complement the Revolut, chase is a good choice for your spendings as it gives a fairly decent cash back and has a linked savings account with an ok interest rate. Generally for savings, go with the one that offers the highest interest rate.

Lexusgs430: The cold too much to be able to fully withdraw within a split second of launch time I don't think any man living has the ability to withdraw with a 100% certainty. As for me, na other more reliable family planning measures we adopt. After madam drop the second one, we are done! |

kwakudtraveller: Lol! I was genuinely asking cos I wasn't sure if there were any roadblocks or limits to transferring all your funds in one go, or if the banks forced people to move their money in batches, which would explain why many would have been caught out by the currency fluctuations. |
