Hi guys! Been so long I've been on this thread. Anyway, I come bearing good news. In the spirit of Christmas, Zing (HSBC multicurrency and FX payment app ) is doing a referral programme where you get £30 for g up using a referral link and spend just £5 on anything you like. This promo ends tomorrow 3rd December 2024 , so anyone interested can take advantage of it . If you use my link we both get £30. You can go on to refer people as well up to 20 people and you both will get £30. Please note the offer ends tomorrow by 9pm so to be eligible for the offer, you need to sign up and complete all the steps before this time.

Quite frankly it's the easiest £30 you'll make. Takes less than 10 mins to complete the steps.

If anyone needs a link, here’s mine https://zing.me/referrals?referralCode=YTVlZTU4YmMtMmUyNC0zYzA5LTliNjctZDI5NjQyYmI4ZWQw. I signed up a while ago and got my reward back then, although it was £20 then. It’s one of the quickest and easiest ways to earn £30. If you don’t have an immediate need to spend £5, you can top up your amazon credit or Revolut through Google Pay or Apple Pay with £10 and keep the money. This still counts as a valid transaction.
Here's how :
I just signed up and added the virtual card to Google Pay then transferred £10 from Revolut to Zing.I then topped up Revolut with £10 using the virtual Zing card via Google Pay.
The whole process took me less than 10 minutes.
I got my reward within a month of g up.

My PIN is out and I'm on Band 6. That's what was stated on my Cos, Band 4 pre OSCE, Band 6 after ing OSCE. Many people especially Nigerians in my work place are angry about it here but I press their necks daily.

Congratulations on your OSCE result. My sister ed OSCE after second attempt. Now that she has ed, how long will it take for her to get her pin? The NMC said it will need 35 days to review her document and will communicate next step after. Her documents however have been submitted and cleared before she wrote OSCE! She is self-sponsored!

I was starting to shift ground and believe this moniker was a little genuine, but comments like this have cleared all doubts and reverted to status quo. Smh

@kode12

How did you send your laptop to Nigeria, how long did it take and cost please?

I want to send one, thinking of using royal mail. I don’t want any cost on the receiver.

Anyone with an info can help please.

Thanks

Hi. I used DHL. No extra cost on receiver.

@lexusgs430 @all.
I’m looking for a clipper for head shaving the proper bald clean head shaving. Any recommendations will be appreciated. I once had a £15 clipper from eBay but that’s no longer available for sale.

I have nothing to prove to you or anyone. Deal with your insecurities brah, and learn to dream big and stop limiting yourself with your thinking.
To what end is lying?
Anyways, it's your type I have here who wants to make my life miserable because I dare dreamt big but they can't do anything than whine. I've got it and got it, nothing they can do about it.
Telling me how they struggled for years to get to this stage only for me to come straight away into the role. God bless other Africans because I can write a book on the attitude of my fellow Nigerians in this country.

Anybody applying, dont let anyone project their limitations on you. Dream big but that's if you like.

OK, I need a wife, all these ordering of food won't help. Zahra29 how far?

How far how? I can cook white rice but I'm afraid I won't be able to assist with pounded yam and egusi

You should try asking around in your community or the restaurant for women you can pay to batch cook stews and soups weekly, and then you just defrost as and when - much cheaper than eating out.

I hope you're not one of those Nigerian men who can only eat freshly cooked food? 😂

wow very comionate response! very demure and mindful 😂 I couldn’t do better

Wow. So despite all his shenanigans and (very) ostentatious lifestyle, Tobi Adegboyega of SPAC nation was living without papers, and now he has lost his deportation battle :

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/03/tobi-adegboyega-nigeria-pastor-spac-nation-deportation-echr/

Nigerian pastor whose church was shut down over alleged £1.87m fraud loses deportation battle

Mr Adegboyega has lived in the UK unlawfully since overstaying on a visitor’s visa that allowed him to enter Britain in 2005. In 2019, he applied for leave to remain under ECHR’s right to a family life. His application was initially dismissed by a first-tier immigration tribunal before he appealed.

Kingkom:

Their age ranges from 10 & 8. The money for the parents is a loan. Credit cards by the hubby is just 500 and 200, and has been used to some extent.
Is there no way that they could be given time to work and raise money for the kids to apply later, even if their visa has expired?

Consider these options:

Personal (bank) loan
Payday loan (check google for providers)
Bank overdraft
Credit card (increase the limit or apply for more if you have exhausted the limits in your current one)
Loan from family and friends
Salary advance from work (speak to your HR)

Finally, book a flight and let them go back home to Nigeria before their visas expire. When you raise money, apply for them to you as dependants just like you want to apply for them now and there won't be any issues.

You have used your credit card, you have borrowed loan, in your shoes, I would personally go with this last option rather than incur more debt. It's not a big deal so don't overthink it. It will even give you time to do more work and stabilise your finances.

Please what is the best I.T short course to take and how much will it cost me

Thank you.

Depends on your goal. What do you want to achieve?

Oggg:

Definitely not royal mail. Receiver will hear from DSS, NDLEA, Nigerian customs and still will part with more than the cost of a new one. Try cargo companies

Thanks. It’s actually a new laptop. Got it on Black Friday for my niece. I want to use a shipping company to avoid stories.

There are a lot of churches I can personally report for financial mismanagement but it’s not my business as I have stopped contributing yrs ago

Is the tribunal the last court he can appeal to or can he go higher? Perhaps his wife and kids being British citizens might help.

Poor chap. He can appeal to the Court of Appeal if it agrees to hear his case. I think he has to ask this tribunal for permission first.

The judgment is interesting. The court basically told the guy that in some cases for people who have a qualifying British partner, there is no point deporting them because they will be entitled to re-ission when they apply for that from their home countries, but that in his case the HO has refused to agree that he would automatically get a visa if he went home to Nigeria and applied for entry as a partner of a British citizen even though his wife is a qualifying British citizen. It also told him that he should go and find paperwork to prove he has been here since 2005 so that maybe he can start to prepare for applying under the 20-year residence rule next year if he wants. He would need to be here first to make up the 20 years, so hopefully he can appeal and get a stay of enforcement until his appeal is decided.

He knows what he should do, but he doesn't want to play right......

I expected Olawanle to have advised him on the best way forward....... But no, lawyer must chop...... 🤣😂

He has the option to appeal further to the Court of Appeal but he will first need permission from the Upper Tribunal which they are unlikely to grant - he can then appeal directly to the Court of Appeal.

He won't be granted leave to remain as an overstayer based on a British partner or wife, he will be asked to return to Nigeria and apply from there.

I'm quite curious about the suggestion that he has British kids. These kids were not referenced in his bundle and if he does indeed have British kids whose lives he is involved in, his case wouldn't even have needed to go to Appeal. He would have already been granted leave to remain within the rules, instead of the longer, more expensive and much more difficult route of a human rights application outside of the rules, which has a very low success rate. Very strange.

Poor chap? He's rolling in dosh, do keep up 👀😂

Re the bolded, the Home Office, and no honest lawyer, will ever guarantee a visa if an individual leaves the UK to apply from their home country. It depends on the individual's circumstances and if they are able to meet the suitability requirements- it goes beyond just having a British partner who earns above the threshold.

He can apply for the 20 year route only if he is able to provide evidence of his continuous residence in the UK - for every year since 2005. The Home Office is already disputing this claim so his ing documents between 2005 - 2015 particularly would have to be robust.

There are claims online that he's travelled to Dubai and Nigeria in the time he's been in the UK. If these claims are substantiated, that would automatically invalidate his 20 year application as he would have broken the continuous residence condition.

Lol, Zahra, I see you have had your jerk chicken today, because the west Indian side of you has just surfaced. Of course we all know the guy is loaded, I was referring to the fact that his elaborate case was thrown away just like that.

He probably did. The guy has to go through all the stages and get to 20 years, which is about June next year. One last appeal stage left.
