Hello, pls i received a letter today from Tv License people, saying that i should expect a visit from an enforcement officer on the 22nd of this month, as there’s no record of a tv license at my address.

It’s not compulsory… They sent me a letter about twice, I told them I’m not interested and I don’t watch TV.

They threatened brick and stone but I didn’t answer them and they stopped sending letters….

Good afternoon all. Please kindly advised. My wife was accused sleeping on duty where she works as a relief worker in Scotland by an agency staff. She just Cos with another company recently. She has been suspended where she does relief work and would be invited for disciplinary committee. She told me she was surprised the agency staff could do such because that very day the agency requested she wanted to leave 15 minutes earlier closing time because she lost someone . She gladly accepted .
Please kindly advise on how defend herself at the disciplinary committee so her license would not revoked if reported to the regulatory body (SSSC) and eventually the main employer will withdraw their COS . PLEASE WE NEED YOUR ADVICE!

If no video evidence, abeg don't ever agree you slept on duty. I hope you ed with a union. Stick to the 15 minutes of leaving earlier cus you lost a loved one. Be consistent

You're not the OP

Did the OP say he does not have a TV? He only said he doesn’t have a TV licence

But i don’t watch BBC na. Only watch Netflix and Youtube.

It's illegal not to have a TV licence, if your TV, smartphone, laptop, tablet smartwatch etc etc etc.... Connects to BBC and you watch live streaming from the BBC(watch BBC or not) .......... So this is the legal answer......😂


The illegal answer, if you have all of the above devices and all conditions remains the same.......... Simply ignore all their threat letters (they would continually send them and post inspection dates)....... Just ignore, don't open your doors to any unknown face + shut curtains ..........😀😁

After all said and done, the bottom line is, the cause of all the unnecessary outbursts could only have been a lack of comprehension and really low emotional intelligence.

You can say that again (plus many more unknown factors)........😂😀

They sent me a letter, and I called them to let them know that I don’t own a TV and don’t stream anything on my laptop or my phone, not even YouTube or Netflix. They agreed to defer it for 12 months. I also gave them a pseudonym and not my actual name, just to protect my identity. After 12 months, I will call them again to say the same thing.

It was your comment I quoted not mine. You specifically typed that, so be mindful of what you type next time.

I don't really care if you call me his "die-hard" fan but as you, "his die-hard enemy" are "calling" him out, I am able to call you out too when I believe it is tending towards "picking" on the person.

Everyone can use grammar on the thread.

I'm not denying I typed it & I understand what I'm saying, call me out anytime you want since you choose to be a die hard fans that couldn't say things like it's , you can continue looking for english grammar to prove your point .

This link did not open, but if it is about the death of one Dipo, it's one death too many. May God help us... After all the hustle, relocation, better life in view etc... to just drop dead like that is disheartening to say the least. May he RIP.

TheUnburnt:
Please Am New Here. I want to ask if my friend divorce her dependent without telling the embassy. Will there be any punishment on her? She is the main applicant.
Thanks.

I hope you've been able to find the answers you seek?

I just want to chip in that the "couple" should find a non volatile way of settling their differences. They can divorce unofficially, live separately but remain "married" as it were while both sort their visas.

The punishment part of it should be left out for now because, there'll be enough "punishment" for both of them if they want to "scatter things." Home office dey para right now, if the lady divorces the guy and the guy also exposes a single misrepresentation during their visa processing (no matter how small,) both of them would find themselves back home in Nigeria shortly...

If it's a "Japa contract", they should honour it and keep mute. Simple.

Samguine:


I guess when you book the hotel, you make payment. They'll want to see your flight tickets (to and fro) and where you'll be staying. So, it is advisable you make refundable bookings just in case.

thanks mate, you have been far too kind

it's not that. It is about a black teenager (student) being bullied by some white students from school. They made him kiss their shoe.

On that link, Edit/Insert Twitter dotcom or X dotcom just after the http://

Ensure you write the dotcom the normal way. If I wrote it the proper way it would also be automatically erased, hence, why I wrote it as dotcom.

Just read that an arrest has been made by the police. It was really disheartening to watch the video yesterday.

I have been thinking hard since yesterday on how to educate my kids about handling bullies.

Heart wrenching video indeed. Lots of cases on WhatsApp groups and social media of bullying in school. Some parents have responded by saying they’ll teach their kids self-defence or telling their child to target one of them in the group and the others will scram. But I’m not buying that solution. I feel it could end up badly. Please let’s have an open conversation on other options for kids facing bullying/racism, very horrible situation.

Congratulations to hustla on your distinction and Msc completion. All the best with the job search.

@lexus seems you no pay tithe to the community oo and cost of living crisis no make people see road. Transfer of aggression just dey happen anyhow.

Please keep up the good work and banter. Most times I wonder how you do it being consistent on NL over the years.

Thank God I was here to read up sha before justwise comes to clean up and funny to read the irony from the statement/previous post of most of the accs.

My growing fear about this country especially with kids frequent bullying. Recent case in point that makes it feel we are moving years backward is the Tory donor that *feels like
shooting* a black woman

From his family experiencing racism when his Welsh father moved his Zambian wife and young children to Wales, to becoming the first black / black-ish leader of any European country.

Calls for celebration 🎉🎊

@missjekyll, he's one of yours so I expect you'll be dropping party details asap

That wasn't what he said though. Not even close.

Doesn't change the fact that the fellow is insane and his comments were completely racist.

Congratulations Hustla. All the best!

Absolutely racist comment no matter how it is being spinned. And he did say *I think she should be shot* according to the reported news on reputable outlet
