Please kindly assist me on how to recover the excess charge I paid for IHS, I have used paid mail and I am yet to get refund. I paid USD2616 for my dependant instead of D 1046 , but later paid the actual amount for 1 year. They used the later amount to process her IHS but hasn't refunded me

Schoolhike: Treating Eczema can be exhausting. From when my baby was 2 months she started battling Eczema. We used different creams and none of them worked. The GP prescribed steroids, but the eczema kept coming back after we stopped using it, we were referred to a clinical Nurse that specialises in Eczema, that one too gave so many different creams, more steriods, asked GP to give us sleeping suites she can use at night, omo nothing worked o. GP then referred us for Allergy test, wait time was 3 months plus. Then I saw a video from a Dermatologist on YouTube where they talked about lack of vitamin D being a possible cause for those living in colder countries. Saw recommendation on Vaseline as well, so we got Vitamin D Drops and Vaseline and started using consistently and within one week her skin became much better. Her skin is all clear now, we are mixing Vaseline and Aveeno at the moment. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

What’s wrong with those who divorce their husbands? What if their husbands na chocomilo? Age is not a barrier if u serious. Zim women I know are the definition of feminist. Strong, independent, family and career oriented. They don’t know how to talk sha. Would have marry one but I personally don’t like when someone speak to their family in language I don’t understand 😏 that has to do with my trust issues sha rock86: |

If you have Hard water in your area, Let her stop drinking tap water or boil and let it cool before drinking. Also, you can buy Epsom salt(sooth and sleep) for night shower once or twice a week. When I moved to UK, I don’t know where this itching came from, worse after shower. Those two things helped me and my dry skin as I didn’t want to continue using portion for the rest of my life. I tried hospital here, nothing works until I saw another person in same shoe. All these started when I moved to UK, I don’t experience any of that whenever I go to Nigeria. Schoolhike: |

Good morning guys, Do I have to go to Nigeria to marry my English boyfriend or we can just do a court marriage here and plan our trip to Nigeria for my traditional marriage? I’m on student visa and my visa finishes December this year and I will be applying for my postgraduate visa sometime in December too One more thing he said if I have worked with any company for a year and I get pregnant they will give me maternity leave and will be paying me while on leave. I want to confirm from you people if this is true I thought this works only if one is working with NHS Please I need answers as I want to put all my energy in getting a job (not agency) and work with them for a year before considering getting pregnant so I can benefit from the maternity leave Thank you guys |

Iring:You can do court marriage in the Uk, the trad in Nigeria. About rhe maternity, in most places you are entitled to maternity leave. The length and how many months are paid maternity leave will depend on the organisation 3 Likes |

ehizario2012: I'm wondering.. what is the 'place' of immigrants in the UK and for how many generations does this place hold. By 'grabbing a mile' you mean? These your narratives far exceeded one person e.g Kemi and I'd like to know the drivers. |
jedisco(m): 12:42pm On Oct 05, 2024 |
Goodenoch: Hehe. This your narrative na die. Na IELTs band 8.5 get you so It's now 'butaboutism' i.e a mix of 'Whataboutism' and the 'but culture' |

Schoolhike: ============= 1. Try and get water filter from amazon for your bathroom shower and faucet. This will reduce harsh/chemicals in the hard water. 2. Cut down on sugary food from your baby in take. Rather replace with fruit with less glycemic. 3. Avoid tight clothes. 4. Try Epaderm Cream (not Ointment) together with versline - This moisturise the skin and relieve from itching. 5. Your baby skin may not be cool with all the brand branded creams. Try and avoid them. 6. Vit D and normal normal baby vitamins should do too. Your baby would be fine and Eczema relieve. 2 Likes |

Cyberknight: I largely agree with you. It's largely a traits of the first folks to break a barrier. Such achievements take alot of work to achieve and in the process many tend to overcompensate in a bid to show they're part of the new herd. Alot of women would tell you they were treated more harshly by female bosses in male dominated fields than by male bosses. We see it many areas too. When an immigrant rises to the top, they tend to go over and above to prove they wouldn't be partial and many times block the benefit immigrants were already being afforded. Over time, this does change as more minorities people break through. The issue with someone like her is that she can say whatever about black folks/Nigerians and not be chastised as being racist. She can be the mouth piece for the most vile unsaid thoughts of the far right. She can virtually be their wallpaper and excuse. I saw her once dress down a labour MP who was raising objections to how immigrants were treated in Scotland. As Kemi begin talk, the opposing MP no sabi where to start again. Also, don't underestimate what someone like her can achieve both positively and negatively. Take a look at Nigeria with very 'powerful' presidents. Major constitutional changes that favoured a certain group (e.g Sharia, resource control, LG issues in Lagos) could only be pushed through by a president from the opposite side. PMB for all his bigotry couldn't see out his plans on grazing reserves. A PM like Kemi could go over and above to dress down migrants and refuce what rights they enjoy with little repercussions. Conversely, she can also be a beacon of hope for loads of young black people in the UK looking to rewrite certain narratives. Going forward, one solution is by making sure more capable minorities get to such positions. This makes it common place and means they'd be less likely to overcompensate. It also ensures diversity of thought. 1 Like |

Goodenoch: Something happened last week and I pondered over this again. Since coming over, I tend to visit Nigeria yearly sometimes 2x a year and see the drop in living standards even with the recent fuel issue. Also, working in healthcare I know many nurses. Would I choose the life of a band 5 colleague over say folks living in Wuse e.t.c (which is where 60m/yr would be)?. Different strokes, some certainly would but agency in one thing that weighs heavy. For older more established families, it's even more difficult as the very fabric of the family can be torn apart moving from a peaceful home in a largely patriarchal and religious society to a western one. That might be the start of the end. In the end, each mallam with his kettle |

Schoolhike: A good rule of the thumb is to ignore medical advice on social media. If you are not happy with what her GP has prescribed, ask to be referred to a Gynecologist. There may be a long waiting time to see one. If you cannot wait, be ready to pay to see one privately. In most cases, patients with dry skin would be placed on long term oral antihistamines and a emollient that works for them to alleviate the symptoms. Finding that ‘silver bullet’ emollient is mostly by trial and error, under the supervision of a gynecologist. |

Lexusgs430:So I should ask the UK government to intervene in Nigeria's issue? God forbid. I will rather pressure our leaders to address the issue. Thankfully the situation has improved recently. Let them deal with the one they created in the middle east first. |
