The point remains, no reasonable person would go into marriage, expecting a divorce.......

You could have put in all the hardwork, prayed, fasted etc etc...... But, do you know the real intentions of the other party........

Keep shaking your head....... 😭😂

Some folks on this thread are going into marriage expecting a divorce that's why they are taking all necessary precautions. 😑

Well like your statement, not all persons are reasonable.

What’s wrong with this country? Why do we have to pay ourselves for Christmas Party? A whole £40/ person. This is insane. Omo I miss Naija for this one. We Dey even hire music artist come, invite spouses sef, free shayo on top. Mehn British people stingy oo!

Maybe your company stingy...

Perhaps they are not stingy, maybe it's not in their policy to do Christmas party but some folks just feel it will be nice to do hence the contribution.

My company organise party...when I say party, I mean party. I shock the first time I attended see strippers dey perform at different strategic points in the event center. Different live artists too positioned at different points.

Stamp duty on a second property is huge.

Do people buy second or additional properties?

How do you feel using almost a mortgage deposit to pay stamp duty?

igbsam:


I use that to atleast get rid of some and same time clean the stubborn ones even after spraying it.

I use Astonish mould spray...them no born the mould well, you will think I just repainted my house seff.

Honestly. Imagine a family where husband and wife are supposed to be cooperating in full harmony and transparency but husband is always guiding* and wife is applying ogbon sodiki too. How will there be trust and progress, and will it not become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Of course there's a place for awareness, but letting it occupy your mind and shaping your life choices around the chance of divorce is very likely to lead to divorce, in my view.

But to each his own as always sha.

Instead of to enjoy life, the two of them will be using brain for each other 😀.

The man wanted to buy a house but when he realised he won't be able to do so in secret, he kept the money Instead, na so baba take start pay rent at old age.

dustydee:

Please can you recommend a brand of the spray to buy?

I use Astonish (sold in Asda) cheap and works magic.

Don't be tempted to spray too much, light spray is ok, just to touch the yeye thing thats all.

igbsam:


Can this cover a two bedroom apartment with kitchen, bathroom, 3 stores and a sitting room ? My apartment is quite big and i got a small dehumidifier (1700ml) that only does little. I don clean tire

Stop cleaning, use mould spray to spray the affected areas, works like magic and cost about £1.

Dehumidifier works best in enclosed areas so even if you buy a bigger one, you will have to move it around and close where it's working.

rinzylee:
Abeg oooo enough.... make we no dey condition mindset for marriage breakup here ...abeg nah .... We will have good sustainable marriages in Jesus Name. Amen.

Honestly,

They just making someone plan for failed marriage, channel that energy towards planning for a successful marriage instead.

I called this builder to reserve a property, told them I have a DiP, they said okay but asked that I call their mortgage advisor, that their mortgage advisor needs to see my DiP before they can go ahead with the reservation.

After speaking with their mortgage advisor, they didn't ask for my DiP, they carried their own assessment and are giving me the same lender as the former advisor.

I want to go with the former advisor, should I insist or play along?

What should one look out for when buying a new build?

Also, those houses close to the road, that the door is close to footpath, does ing cars really disturb? I'm looking at either that type or one at the end of a close. I feel the one at the end of a close will be too quiet because it's not facing any houses, just facing a field/park.

Finally why are rooms in new builds too small. Infact I see those 3 bedrooms houses as 2 and half bedrooms.

Even with the tumbling niara?

You seem to be looking at appreciation against Forex. Isolate property valuation from naira devaluation.

For instance, if a house was 1 million naira last year and this year it is 2 million naira, that is 100% appreciation. How much dollar was last year and this year is another story. Except such appreciation was as a result of currency devaluation in which case the appreciation is just an Illusion.

The canada story did NOT happen https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-dorval-quebec-hoax-idUSL1N2OO1CI
I used Muslims because when the far right refer to immigrants trying to change their culture, they usually are referring to Muslims.

I also used Yorubaland as an example of peaceful coexistence because you can get both Christians and Muslims in one family. That is rare in the East and North

Well...I didn't have Muslims or religion in mind.

Even on Nairaland here, you'll see pro Russians fighting tooth and nail to get US or UK visa but won't even attempt Russian visa. Something like that.

missjekyll:
I think we have to be careful about repeating right wing talking points.

Give me an example of a country where this is happening currently.

The right wing is no place for people of colour because if they win, you with your ebony skin which you cannot take off, will be the first target.
We live well with Muslims in Nigeria( Yorubaland) why is it different in the UK?

Who is talking about Muslims?
Why do you have to live well with Muslims in Nigeria (Yorubaland)? Why not Muslims in Nigeria (everywhere)?
Who said it is different in UK or are you not living well with Muslims in UK?

There are different ideologies (not only religious ideologies), but since you have asked for an example, in Canada, the Muslim community protested the sharing and eating of pork in schools, the Education ministry asked them to go to any of the many countries where pork is prohibited in schools.

Zahra29:


I'm always curious why people who hate the West, or the enemies of the West, choose to live in the West and not those other countries where their views will be accepted and even nurtured.

I don think this thing tire, I had to let the matter rest.

Funny thing is when they get to the west, they will want to start imposing their views and ideologies when there are countries willing to uphold and nuture the views for them.

Las las everybody like civil societies, na to identify the cause of uncivilization and stop it nai be the problem.

Jeff0983:


There’s something we need understand, every human being has a plan but money is always the problem and this japa is money draining I must tell us , I know how much I have spent and money for flight never set sef not to talk of housing for the first month, what I’m saying is this might be her case and money don finish, and as risky as it may sound it’s better to find someone who she don’t know to harbor her in UK for few days even it means paying some money then staying on the street or not traveling at all after all the money spent already.

As in en
The way they tell people to plan. Even if they are told the person didn't plan will they believe?

No be to plan be the problem, na to execute the plan.

Structural Adjustment Program......... People begin chop 101, 001, 010 etc etc

In comparison to now, that period would be deemed heaven on earth........😂😜

The worse military period, is much better than the best democratic dispensation........😁

People say the worse democracy is better than the best military. But during military, everything seemed to work; national airline, refineries, power, good roads. But nothing has worked under civilian rule. Is it because it is the military that still converted to civilian rulers?

Lexusgs430:


The issue majority of our people have is, they are never succinct with their enquiries........

Rather than be brief and hit the hammer on the head, they start with hello, hi and other irrelevant openings .........😂😁

Someone receiving hundreds of DM's, he would simply have to filter .........😜

I was patient with one on LinkedIn chat, I later vex for myself

Him: hello
Me: hi

Him: how are you today
Me: fine thanks

Him: and work
Me: fine

Him: how is the family
Me: deletes chat from my LinkedIn and vex for myself.

Hwy9:
Please, has anyone tried booking flights via bookingdotcom? What was your experience like?

Please let me know, make I no go throwaway money!

I have.

Once you book and get a reference number, you manage your flight on the flight's portal as if you booked from the flight portal.

For t mortgage application, does the credit score of both applicants matter or just that of the main applicant?

Can someone please recommend a cheap VPN.

I want my tiktok contents targeted at Nigeria, currently I only get UK viewers and my content is Nigerian based.

I pumped my 4 tires today £1.

Omo...I don't think I need that tire inflator seff.

Cam someone please recommend a car tire pump?

My car is giving me low tire pressure warning.

PtBlank:
Hello people, I need a little help on how to go about this please.

Shouldn't the £10 I paid to Ringo count? Am I wrong not to have paid the £25 they asked?

The penalty was issued before you paid for parking so the full penalty fine subsists.

It will be wise to pay the £35 balance before it escalates further.

montecarlo:
Thanks for the swift reply.
I will do as advised.

2. I have a car, which I have been driving here for 4 months now

Go ahead and book the test, you don't need an instructor. I did several times with my car about every two weeks even though the initial rebooking will be like 6 months away, there were always close date to reschedule.

In the meantime, it might be worth getting an instructor for a mock test.

montecarlo:
HELLO HOUSE.

I just ed my driving theory test (45/50; 56/74) and when I tried to book for the practical test, the earliest date I got was 17/02/2024.
My international driver's license will expire on the last day of January 2024.

My questions:
1. Should I go ahead and book? Can I get to see an earlier date later after booking and can I get to change the date to an earlier date if seen?

2. Can I go ahead and book before I get an instructor? Or should I get an instructor first before booking.

NB. I have been driving in Nigeria for 10 years. And 4 months in the UK.

PLEASE ADVISE.

THANKS IN ANTICIPATION

1. Yes. After booking, be checking the site frequently, like every 10 minutes; you will get a date in less than 2 weeks.

2. It depends...do you have a car?

This may be a long conversation now.

Teedol:
I think the DVLA should look into the one year restriction to driving on UK roads for intl drivers. If am allowed to drive around for 1yr, how do i suddenly become less qualified to drive?

Trust issues.

Na why teachers after teaching you, they will ask do you understand, you go answer yes, do you understand very well, yes.

Them go still go set exams.

I said I understand, why not let the matter end there.

After all if you've been driving for one year, why not just take the test and .

ehizario2012:


Thanks for your response. I don't know what I did wrong, Marshmallow said they can't offer me insurance after I finished filling the online forms... They directed me to confused.com

Another one I tried brought £2600 annual, £233 monthly and £490 deposit!

This is shocking

This is a hack, a legal one but cannot be used urgently because you'll need time. Others thinking of buying a car can try it as well, that is what I did and I'm currently paying like half of what I would ordinarily be paying for insurance.

If you're ready to your driving test and ready to buy a car, get a car and get a privisional driving licence.
Get an insurance on the provisional licence, insurance on provisional license is usually very cheap because they know you can't drive with it.

Then take your driving test and . Update your insurance to the full license, the insurance price will remain the same or go up just a little.

Hclinton:
Am so happy today, I ed my practical test on second attempt though with just three minor faults.
Please I want to ask, do I need to inform my insurance of my new license status or do I still stick to my former status which was International license. If yes, please why?

Yes inform them.

If you don't inform them, the insurance will be on your int'l licence which is now invalid making the insurance invalid. You won't be able to make a in the event of an accident and this may be costly.

Except you want to continue to drive on the int'l license and not the UK license.

Taal17:


Do private insurance..check what the plan covers.

Or go to Nigeria but you'd need to have sufficient leave days if there are tests or procedures that need to be done.

Thank you. Let me check the plans in private insurance.

Thanks to everyone for responding to my enquiries, I can't start quoting everybody but I appreciate you all.

Much love 🙏😘

I have a few questions, if you have an answer to any please provide:

* can I go to a private gynaecologist without NHS referral?
* what is the average cost for a private gynaecologist?
* if I do private health insurance, will they fund visits to private gynae?
* the wait time for NHS gynae is quite long (around one and half year) am I better off going to Nigeria or another EU country?
* if you have used a private gynae, please refer with any information that may be useful.

Thanks
