Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by TheGuyFromHR: 11:51am On Jan 23, 2021 |
LagosismyHome: Lol, that particular promise don dey overdue to keep o. Anytime I go to the money transfer sites, liver dey fail person when I see the exchange rates, keep wondering whether the naira can come out of this particular slump. Anyway, this particular move by CBN is a good one at least, as much as it is an annoyance to have to find alternative means to send money home. |

starboychan: Well .. like people have said already you need to come with money....you know that maintenance money and school fees you presented during visa application? You need to come with it . 1. Get part time job as soon as possible, don't pick and choose jobs until you settle. 2. You need to learn how to cook and not depend on eating out 3. Avoid getting contract phone, get sim-only contract from Smarty, meaning you only pay for what you used. 4. Look for bills inclusive accommodation a bit far from town centre...just 10-15mins walking distance to university . 5. Pick carefully the type of African/Nigerian church to attend. 16 Likes 7 Shares |

justwise: When I first came to the UK, I had an old secondary school friend in London who had been living here for more than 10 years by that time and who told me to "avoid Nigerian churches in London o" I told him that I even avoid Nigerian churches in Lagos self, so no worries. 8 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by justwise(m): 2:35pm On Jan 23, 2021 |
TheGuyFromHR: Good decision. 2yrs ago a friend stopped going to one Nigerian church i think in London too because of heavy financial demand. According to him..he pays 10% of his salary as tithe, £30 monthly for kingdom investment. £10 weekly to support God's work or what he calls mission support. Every Dec they have thanksgiving service where members are tasked to pay certain amount. 2yes ago they were asked to pay £1000 each for certain project, a year after that its £500 at least. Then every Jan you have to give up your salary as first fruit and you still have to sold-seed and appreciate pastor from time to time. 6 Likes 1 Share |

wallg123:Yeah he's just considering the option of moving with his wife. He knew that he can earn more if he get a professional job in the UK but he's not sure of job opportunities amidst this covid. Though he's open to anything to do anything legit so far it brings money until he get something suitable for him. |

sagbar: I understand you clearly now..... I’ll advice him and his wife to sort out there UK driving licence within the 1st year of arriving as that would also help them in the pursuit of jobs, especially professional jobs in the future.... Since COVID-19 started online business have grown greatly, meaning there is now a high demand for delivery drivers... he can do this in conjunction with whatever is available within his location until he settles in properly..... There are other things I can think of but let me not bore people here ... Goodluck |

wallg123: Just imagine govt takes at least 20% of your salary, you pay council tax, you pay your bills and rent/mortgage, road tax, MOT, car insurance THEN You joined a church.. you pay 10% of your salary as tithe, at least £30 for kingdom investment, £10 for mission support weekly, you give offering and appreciate pastor, £500 at least every Dec then by Jan you give up your salary. So how will you save in this country? Every Jan we get long list of prophies from many pastors but not a single one of them saw coronavirus coming last year? 6 Likes 1 Share |

Man never had such powers despite the constant gra gra of judging sin, who be sinners, determining how God dey bless person and judging people up and down . In the end all na noise with no power to judge nothing but mere self interpretation 1 Like |
