Really. I didn't know.
I'm anxious.
How about taking medications like pain killers, antibiotics, supplements and malaria medicines. Do I need to declare them and get doctors prescription?

Malaria ke! Antibiotics to self-medicate?! You don't need to come with any medication, except you are on a prescription and unwell while in transit.

Say bye bye to malaria immediately you step foot here

You got to start at the base of the mountain b4 you hit the summit!If you rush in you crash out. The only way to start at the top is if you are self employed!

Experience here are of two types - competence based and behavioural (work culture fit). Your Nigerian experience can pass through for the competence based experience if you know your onions well, while your experience with agencies here can easily pass through for behavioural experience. Just list all to cover the last 5 years. If they people here are so bent on dignity in labour, who are we to not list our agency shift experiences?

it depends on the field you are talking about, I can talk on my field Engineering. Nigerians do not have a good record for Health and safety unless you work in one of the multi nationals.
i think you miss the point when I say experience. When I said that I mean some companies will specifically state that they need UK experience that way your experience even from mars do not count. A carpenter from Nigeria will not have same experience as a carpenter in the Uk ,Same as an Electrician from Nigeria wont have same experience of the electrician in the US. Then move to social workers. we do not have same vices in the Uk as the ones in Nigeria.

Help needed please.

Who has any life hack on how to arrange used clothes for shipping?
We just decluttered. Lots and lots of used clothes. Two huge Ghana must go bags. Both ours and the kids’. A lot are in pristine condition.
We thought to package and send to Naija. Relatives & relatives kids will greatly benefit (we think). We have found a shipping company I east London which can ship 1 big Ghana must go bag to Abuja for £120. We think it’s probably worth the cost.

Any suggestions or hack on how best to maximise space to fit in plenty clothes?

Any other suggestions (including any alternative known cheaper shippers) highly welcome please

Thank you for reading

Just wondering... would the people back home think its worth the cost? £120 plus sundry costs would come upto 250k. They might very well prefer that sum being given to them than sending clothes over.
Remember to some, their perception of taking clothes from someone known is different from buying okrika.

Exactly. Send the freight money. Donate the clothes to Salvation Army or another charity here. Simple.

Salvation Army even has bins around in many large towns/cities that you can simply put your clothes into without even interacting with anyone.

Thank you, because I don't want anyone to throw away anything I suffered to buy.

Does any Yoruba person here knows if I cam get Amala flour in UK or I cam bring along? Is it allowed and must I always use zip lock? Cam I usr transparent nylon to pack? I'm aware that milk isn't allowed and that I have to label everything.

You have 46kg. Don't waste it on amala. Bring dried fish, stockfish, egusi,ogbono,local spices. The rest you can get over here. No meat products.

I want to commend the Nigerian Immigration Service for a job well done. I did biometrics for my passport renewal yesterday, and the passport just arrived in post. The staff were very friendly throughout.

Please bring plenty of yam flour cos I may show for your side to collect small . You can bring as much as you want however just have extra cash for extra luggage or at least let a family member follow you to the airport to return home things you won't be able to fly with eventually.
I will suggest you ask a female friend or a female family member to handle your packaging.

I have bought a portable weigh to weigh before going to airport

Hello guys,

Please I recently started shooting at NHS from Nigeria. But I see some band 6 role with salary between 35-42k. Knowing the recent migration rule of 37,800. My friend said for new entrant like me I will be placed on the lower band and this does not qualify to get COS. I am in the tech space with over 3 years experience.

Please is this true?. Should I just focus on Band 7 roles or higher paying role whose minimum band qualify for the new rule.

I'm unsure if this has been answered but working on a banded role within the NHS (i.e being eligible for Health and care visa) exempts you from the 37.8k treshold. Your treshold is realistically based on the going rate for your band which is what your Trust would offer eitherway.

The link below from NHS employers explains it well with good examples.

Hi, please I just sent you a mail, I think this will be really helpful for me. Thanks 🙏🏾

There are no buzzwords per se. Its how you structure your responses to show you are utilising the skills you say you have.
For example, STAR is an excellent way to show how you meet the behaviours. I always advise going a bit further and make it STARR (ie add what you would do differently nezt time in the same situation or your specific learnings from that situation) which then ties into continuous improvement
Send me an email and I'll send you some examples of behaviour responses I've used amd now also use for L and D development sessions at work

Good signposting. Minor correction: The bolded and the italicised are mutually exclusive in the sense that all roles in the NHS are banded, irrespective of whether they are eligible for the Health and Care visa or not.

That is mega fast! Never heard of that before, things has really changed or is this one-off?

I find that just a little bit interesting. 1 round costs 8 pounds here. I can only give you the facts . It ll be up to you what you decide to do.
Please check the weight of food you are allowed to bring into the UK. It's available on google

I paid £80 for my mothers extra luggage. It certainly wasn't amala. Wouldn't have paid that for amala. Would have binned it myself

I couldn't believe it either. I had to doublecheck where I kept it in the wardrobe to be sure it hadn't disappeared.

Thank you very much. The very exact recommendation you made in this post was followed.
I have chucked all the items in the donation point located at a big Sainsbury’s store near where we live.

Guess who has N240,600 converted this afternoon via LemFi - (other apps are available)?

That £120 is now in Naira. The crediting of different Naira accounts started this afternoon.

The type of prayers me and my wife and children have received today, the goodwill will last a lifetime, I think.

Thank you so much for that not-so-little suggestion. Turns out it’s a win-win for everyone. Thank you Jedisco.

Thank you so much for this recommendation.
You and Jedisco just helped me see clearly.

This is another reason for staying for this long on this thread, even after chopping ban previously for daring to call out Justwise on TV licence debate. Justwise, we may not always agree on TV licence issues, but I love you bro. Keep on the great job.

Thanks to all people contributing positively.

Do the needful then... Flush those suckers out, secure where you lay your head from further bites and you'd be good to go.

The shooter at Trump's rally has just made it even more likely that Trump is going to be the next US president. And now AP is reporting that the shooter has been killed/ neutralised.

Smh...you don't defeat far right rhetoric with violence- you're just playing into their hands.

I have to agree with you on that, the shooter just made the whole thing even more difficult for Biden.

Democrat will be blamed for his especially as the shooter was killed.

All that said. I'm happy for Trump and other republicans gun loving people. Trump is having a test of situation he created, he loves and encourages violence on others while his lapdogs do the dirty job. The dude is tasting the food he cooked.
