I see. I believe there's still some quota coming from Nigeria. I'm just looking for active work to make me some good money whilst I'm there part-time

LagosismyHome:


Maybe you target owners of African shop to get an idea..... I noticed a lot of nigerian food these days are coming more from Ghana than Nigeria. There must be a reason why price, quality control, difficulty etc.? I cant say why because it not my line .

Haha I guess. But seeing as i haven't entered the area yet, I was expecting to be enlightened. It's a bold step I'm considering to take later this year. Make i know as e dey be

Lexusgs430:




Your best bet is to walk into loads of African shops, speak with the owners and pitch your idea..........

They are in a better position to guide/direct/mentor you.......


If i want to sell dog food, would be useless seeking ideas from cats............

Also, what is the cost of living like in the U.K? Including children's school fees, and other expenses? Is it so high and unbearable? I'd like to know how much I should be expecting to spend weekly/monthly

Hi all,

I've been looking into exporting foodstuff from Nigeria to UK (perhaps London more particularly). I don't want to own an African food store. My interest is in supplying existing stores with food from Nigeria. I thought of this business idea as a way for me to travel between the UK and Nigeria as I have family in both countries., so I can see both parties regularly.

-Any ideas on how I can be a supplier or at least get on the supply chain of an existing larger supplier?
-What are the challenges on both ends (Nigeria and Uk)?
-I doubt there is a ban on exporting this foodstuff from Nigeria and they are also obviously legally allowed into the UK or they wouldn't be stocked in shops here?
-How much capital do I need to start (minimum)?
-How do I start?!
-Or is the agricultural/ food business a NO-NO for certain reasons? if not what other products are hot there?

Please I know that no one is obligated to give me ideas but I'd be so happy to hear from people who know about this. My e-mail is dedon4reel90@gmail.com for anyone who wishes to talk privately.

Thanks, guys!

Hmmm... You have better chance in Paisley, Scotland than anywhere in England. England is expensive for family man and also over populated with too many professionals and MSc is not the key to entering Engineering Professional body or work zone in England and Scotland but very easy and less competitive to get the job in scotland . Your wife must go for PGDE or AQTS in England before she can practice as a teacher.

Good day,

Thank you for this thread, it has really been insightful.

I own a business in Nigeria. I've been looking into exporting foodstuff from Nigeria to the UK. I don't want to own an African food store. My interest is in supplying existing stores with food from Nigeria. I thought of this business idea as a way for me to travel between the UK and Nigeria as I intend to move my wife abroad to the UK, so I can see both parties (business and family) regularly. The business won't allow me to move permanently to the UK.

What Tier do you think this my line of business can fall under? Can it qualify under the points-based immigration system? if not, what other ways of this points-based system can I use to achieve my goal. Please I need clarity.
How do you suggest I go about this, I'm really interested.? @2dmax

Next step after WES Evaluation

Good day everyone. Please I need some clarification. I am done with my WES evaluation successfully. What's the next step I should take?
Thank you

Good day everyone. I have a challenge please. I tried using DHL to send my WAEC scratchcard to WES Canada, and they charged me N23,500 which I think is overpriced. Does anyone know of any cheaper and reliable alternatives?
Also does WES mean we should literally write our REFERENCE NUMBER on the scratchcard or the envelope? Thank you

I need in on this too when you figure out how, please

Blooit004:
Guys how are we sending scratch cards to waec please? who is coordinating? I got mail from WES that they've sent my result back to waec for verification

Please, how do we go about this? Because i need to buy scratch card to send to WES for WAEC verification

AllforJesus7:
Just in!

WAEC has stopped the sale of scratch cards; For those who ultimately need it for WES verification.

Good day everyone. I'd like to ask, Does anyone have a contact number at WAEC please? WES sent me a mail saying they sent my results to WAEC for verification & "Your WES file is on hold until we receive a written response from this institution."
So please, I'd like to get a contact number there at WAEC I can call to hasten this verification process. I'm aware they could be slow

I requested mine on Oct 15 and I got a fedex tracking number yesterday night too.

pweetygeek:
Hi guys, here's an update from waec. I requested my waec to be sent to WES on Oct10 and i received a tracking number from FedEx rep last night to start tracking from 3pm today so if there is any1 on Oct10 table that hasn't gotten any updates yet it's on its way. Pls who knows how long it will take waec to respond to verification request from WES?

Just meet the woman directly opposite WAEC office, Yaba (assuming you're in Lagos). She'll run it for you, legit.

Beehandz:


Thanks for your prompt response. Pls what will the affidavit contain or reffer to.

Just an idea so I can sort it out tomorrow at any court tomorrow

Good day everyone. Please how long does it take for the WAEC office in Lagos to send your results/ documents to WES? Mine has taken over a week now and I'm worried.

but do they at the WAEC office understand the WES processes or do i just put my original WAEC certificate in an envelope and ask them to seal and sign it for me?

Peace505:

Go to waec head office yaba. You will be directed on what to do.
For the affidavit, don't bother going to court just meet that woman directly opposite the head office. It will save you time and money. Make sure you go on time cos account dept closes by 1pm

I'd also like to ask, is it advisable to put all my money in mutual funds, and use it as proof of funds when the time comes?

Thank you so much. Extremely helpful

Good day everyone. Happy to join this group (thread). I have a challenge: I have my original WAEC certificate. But WES says it must be sent by the appropriate body sealed and stamped. How do I solve this? Thank You
