There's this moovit app. Tell her to download it and plan her trip with it. It would give her a door to door planning.

thanks

I have no common ground with racists and fascists at all. "Throw hands on sight " is slang for my 1st sentence. You need to get with the program .
I still think they are scummy though. Not everyone deserves to be reasoned with.

Do you want my employers number?

I can’t be dragged into this with you. No way.
I will say it again. The Far-Right can be despicable. The Far-Left can be despicable too.

Your statements above portrays you as the latter. And I will say it (again) you can’t dare write that sh*t you wrote above in the present Labour Party whatsapp group. You will be cautioned, or even kicked out.

The current Labour Party (in case you haven’t noticed) is a more considerate, Centre-Left party, rather than this extreme Far-Left tendencies you exhibited (above).

I don’t wish to fight you. I just wish you be cautious, even in anonymous fora, like Nairaland.

Act your age woman

I’m sorry. I apologize, unreservedly.
I only thought that you and Kumbhuru will be a good match.

You are looking for husband.
Kumbhuru is looking for wife.

You will arrive soon, Kumbhuru arrived a couple of days (probably weeks) ago.

And what is not to admire in a fully-sponsored, all-expenses paid, senior band 6 mental health nurse?

If I wasn’t married to hubby darling, I will jump at the prospect of marrying a Kumbhuru.

Which site did you use to apply for the maintenance technician please amd what qualifications are required. Thank you

It is not for me; I am helping one of my juniors fill out the visa application.

I believe she applied through the Indeed website.

High school diploma with 2-year on-the-job experience is required.

I am only asking a question and I clearly said forgive my ignorance. I always thought you need little bit of UK experience from band 6 upward when it comes to mental health nursing. Mental health code of practice, laws and etc in UK is not same in Nigeria. How did the person get past having pin, preceptorship and experience? Enlighten me please. I am strictly on about mental health nursing.

Hello people, urgently need advice on this please. I received a parking charge notice from a private company for not paying for parking at a local retail store. The date of the incident was 25th May, the date of the PCN issue was 28th June and I saw the letter in my mail box on the 6th of July. Pretty sure it was sent a day or 2 before that as I regularly check my post. I have been reading up and I saw something about a 28 day/14 day rule which allows you challenge such tickets if not issued within that timeframe. I need to make sure I am reading the correct information as I am so pained I have to pay £60 for a £1 parking. Any advice will be appreciated

Thanks for apologising 😊

It was indeed an ill advised phrase to use because you might not be aware, but several politicians have been attacked and even killed in previous years because of their political views/affiliations, so any hint or threat of violence is a serious matter irrespective of who the politician is.

You might also not be aware, but prior to Starmer, the Labour party was regarded by many as racist because of reports of rampant antisemitism in the party. The leader at the time was also accused of being a terrorist supporter because of his alleged links to certain groups. Just to point out that neither Labour or even the Tories (islamophobia claims) can claim to be holier than thou when it comes to issues of discrimination.

Finally, to the bolded, what you do or say in your free time can absolutely affect your employment/employer if it breaches the law or their code of conduct and it comes to their attention.

What sites can someone target for application? I know for nhs jobs, trac is used but for tech, which sites? Thank you
You can start using LinkedIn and set parameters on the roles you wanted ,the country, sponsorship et al. I always advice applying directly to the company . A lot of people have testified using indeed, you may try that. Also, you may Check Amazon e.g AWS sites, Google, Facebook, tik tok for software developer roles. If you want big 4, check website directly too. Many times you will get a lot of rejection but don't panic, just ensure you are consistent md submitting at least 5 applications in a day. I tell you, one will work and you will get fully paid sponsorship job from Nigeria that will take care of your flight and even accommodation for some period .

Wishing you the very best

That's what you were told but you don't need all those. Apply, if you are qualified, you will be selected for interview and if you ace it, you will be selected. I had over 20 interview invites for band 6 roles and got more than 3 offers.
All fully sponsored down to OSCE. Even people in UK will argue that it's not possible but I and a host of others did it. Band 4 pre OSCE and band 6 post OSCE pay.
If you don't apply, you wouldn't know.

Brother this is a beautiful lie. Its not possible to get a band 6 nursing role from nigeria. Regardless of nursing experience, as an international nurse, you will be come in as a band 4 to write Osce, after pass the osce you will be moved to band 5 .How would you practice as a band 6 mental nurse without a Pin? Please you dont need to tell lies bro

Yeah I'd agree with this. How else would Australia or Canada have been populated in the first place?

.....

But in the days of the British Empire migration was encouraged willy nilly. South Asians would move to East Africa - Kenya, Uganda, Brits would move to Australia or Canada or Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. There was technically complete free movement around the Empire/Commonwealth up until 1962. Obviously it was a lot less feasible technically.

For the bolded... its the first time I've heard that excuse being used. Wonder if you'd tell an Indigenous Australian that.

Migration was encouraged for certain groups into certain places. South Africa had millions come in. I don't see the many black people that were encouraged to freely migrate to Australia, Canada, UK e.t.c.

History isn't kind. The more I learn about history, the more unapologetic about migration I become.

Just saw this article and thought I'd share because it's often taken for granted how "generous" the UK's immigration system is, in a lot of ways, compared to other countries.


Hehe.. You've taken it upon yourself at each point to expose the generosity of the UK immigration system. Its like telling apartheid SA to accept the generosity because indigenous groups elsewhere saw worse. In a race to the bottom, there are no shortage of nations who treat migrants worse to compare with.

Also remember the better nations. I from the comfort of my home in the UK applied for and was given a Canadian PR - same thing that took me 5 years of good behaviour and taxation to achieve in the UK. What's strinking is that CAN is a wealthier nation per head with better growth potential. Ultimately, migration is a game of need, not generosity

Lol the problem is that you think you are engaging with a sane person. One of their personalities is currently chilling in a UK hotel, the other just got his work visa but is still somehow looking for work while the final personality has a seemingly “sane” persona and has been in the UK for a while.

Lol, you forget that you easily obtained Canadian PR from the comfort of your UK home. Without the platform/ residency given to you by the UK, this achievement would have been much more difficult, maybe even impossible at this time, from Nigeria.

Apart from Canada, which other "better" nations do you speak of? Bdw, I can't wait for you to move to Canada - please let me know so I can look out for you on the Canadian thread. You won't be difficult to spot - you'll be the one complaining about the lack of opportunities for migrants, how they are using and abusing immigrants, how their health system is not up to par, the weather etc etc 😂

And yes the UK is generous because they could easily adopt the same policies as Australia and NZ and require intending immigrants to undergo invasive medical tests, the results of which could then used to disqualify them from a visa or PR or attract a higher health insurance premium.

You were only talking based on your experience......I know quite a few people who got band 6 from Nigeria, some where placed on the highest rung of band 5 while some where placed at the lowest. Though they will be at band 4 till their pin is out.

And I have seen some who came in within 6months-1year got band 6....... nothing is actually impossible. Infact people have moved from band 5 to 7.

Your comparison to apartheid is utterly absurd.

The fact that you would equate an oppressive regime like that with the UK just shows how out of touch and entitled you are. There's no compulsion, there's no violence and you have virtually all the same rights as native brits (moreso than brits would have back in your own home country and I daresay more than most natives of your own country have in their own home country even) yet you're comparing the country to apartheid South Africa?

General nursing? maybe but it will be difficult for psychiatric nurses. Most of who did not practice mental health before coming to take the job offer.

No. I was referring to human rights, as the conversation was centred on an oppressive regime where people were deprived of those based on their race.

In the UK, the HRA, the EA and sundry laws that provide for human rights apply universally regardless of citizenship.

Or have you been deprived of any human rights because you weren't a citizen? Tell us.
