Please may I ask if it is possible to renew my expired Nigerian drivers license from the UK so as to pick up and use when I land in Lagos sometime this year rather than using my UK license or what options have I got?

You think examiners want to die like runaway fowl being driven by a stanger with a massive L? Safety first! Most of the driving school cars have been adapted somehow with extra pedals on the engers side. This is to ensure that when tension grab you after 10 minutes of your driving test, they are capable of controlling the situation. For example, when I did mine, after approximately five mins, the examiner slammed the brakes. He did that couple of times before the end of the test. As soon as the examiner does that, you might as well park on the pavement and go home.

Why not wait till you get to the UK, then head to primark or if you prefer okrika, loads of charity shops would have them........

Or are you looking for ways to exhaust all your naira?..... wink

If you were a regular in Yaba in those days, you'd realise that most of the nice Okirika with great perfume to boot were hung at the top like a 3 storey building. If you want any of the merchandise badly, you'd just talk to omo nna and point to your choice to bring it down...this is where figire was coined.

Sorry.
I don't think you woefully failed, as you did well in the multiple choice segment.
You may have clicked too many times in the hazard perception.
What did you use to prepare for the test?

I bought the DVLA training CD and I used it to prepare for mine, so I knew how to click correctly.

Practice the hazard perception test here: https://www.safedrivingforlife.info/practice-hazard-perception-test

All the best in your next.

Hi I know you have an Xbox one ..
Do I need to use data to anything if I buy the disc of a game..
Like does the disk contain the whole game?
spacyzuma(m): 4:41pm On Jan 12, 2020
Yes. Usually, updates/patches need to be ed during the installation.

Why Cyber security?


Well technology is getting deeper by the day and the more we go in the more cyber threats we get. For instance, our computers, our mobile phones, our TVs, the devices we use are all connected to the internet, so much of our lives is dependent on the internet which has the power to break us more than ever. This is where Cybersecurity comes in as we need something there to keep us protected from the outside forces that comes in through the internet.
teejay231: 4:59pm On Jan 12, 2020
I understand all of that. My question was why an MSc in Cybersecurity? Is there a demand for it in the current marketplace?

Short Answer:
NO.
You will need to be physically available for Biometrics data capture.

Not really there's an option to renew without data capture...they will just use your stored information

I think so, you can pay on the website and select the option of using your old data (no new data capture)
