LOL that was my first thought as well.. For the NHS test, you go through https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test There's walk in or drive through to select from. Result was 24 hours for me sent by email and text. Some ppl I know took 48 hours so depends on centre. Aphrodite007: 1 Like |

Hello house please I need advice, for my sister who wants to apply for settlement. She applied for her transcript and certificate last year September in her university and she got all the the letters to submit to Naric,the letters were dated last year steptember. Due to some circumstances, she could not submit . Now she wants to apply and we are confused if we should use the letter dated last year or request for another one from the school ( but I don't know if the school will agree to give her another one). Kindly advise if one can use dates that is now one year to apply. Thank you |

Aphrodite007:Exactly my point. That's why the test is not conducted immediately on arrival but some days later. 1 Like |

chrisj2: 100% agreed, and yet, we blame SARS, Buhari etc. The only Covid test I have done was the free one sent to me by the ONS. The idea of lying simply to get tested is disgusting. I know how my colleagues working in frontline NHS roles struggled and failed to get a test when they were exposed at work. There are Covid-19 fitness to fly tests available via private labs. Pay the money and get tested. 5 Likes |

Apologies as I think this has been thrashed here before, but as I'm late to the party I'll throw it out: apart from a bank to bank transfer, what are other ways, if any, of transferring money directly to a Nigerian bank account? Thanks. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by chrisj2(m): 5:37am On Oct 19, 2020 |
Each to their own... A system that works is worth paying for even if the price is too high... It does not compare at all to a country with too many failures and lack of care for its citizens. Furthermore, black are disproportionately affected by covid in the UK and US - go figure! Protect the NHS, Save Lives! |

I now regret going down this route with this conversation... Let's drop it before we do more reputational damage or even get the UK government to put a stop to the loophole... But if other nationalities are so doing, the same; you can just imagine... Best wishes to everyone. And thanks for the info on private testing - Assured Testing appears go enough and results time seem adequate 1 Like 1 Share |

ifegy:I am not in the UK and I have seen people respond to this question previously, some suggest worldremit, I observed that their exchange rate is 495 naira to 1 pound meanwhile on abokifx it's 1 pound is from 585 to 595 The difference is much It got me thinking and I want to ask can't you guys use cryptocurrency option? Buy any cryptocurrency in the UK, sell it on any cryptocurrency p2p companies operating in Nigeria, get your naija account funded, send to anyone u want to send it to. Exchange rate is close to that of abokifx 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by dustydee: 10:08am On Oct 19, 2020 |
omopapa:How? Is that not why they said the test should be done after a couple of days to account for the incubation period? It'snot like they are waiting at the airport to take your swab for testing. |

If we are to believe Sani Aliu, 80+ plus tested positive out of 2000+ just after they opened international flights to all. Somehow people are still bringing in Covid to Nja - and Covid 19 cases in Nja is mostly imported... That is his story for Nja government implementing a retest after 7 days... Moreover, there is no way of ensuring that Nigerians self-isolate for 7 days talkless of 14 days like is operated in the UK. We are typical rule breakers - so this is our punishment! Sigh!!! * As for the website to upload test and get QR code, it goes without saying that it was never going to work smoothly. Add the fact that tests can only take place in Lagos or Abuja - it is all very stressful to go for a short visit |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by dustydee: 1:16pm On Oct 19, 2020 |
omopapa:Yes and that's why they need to retest after several days of arrival peradventure someone who tested negative several days before travelling picked it after that including at the airport or on the flight. |
