harddrive2012: I am guessing it’s your Nigerian Number you are talking about yes? Do you have the SIM in a phone? Is the number active? Do you have at least N50 credit? Do you receive ‘normal’ sms? For example, if someone from Nigeria sends an sms. Do you receive it? |

ehizario2012: The certification itself hasn’t lost any relevance. It’s still like it has always been. If there are a lot of construction gigs going on around where you live, and you want to earn some ££ then CSCS. Why not? |

Ibro2021: Start another application from scratch, shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes to complete. You have your peace of mind, and your sanity. |
![]() |
Schoolhike: Honestly speaking, I think this is too much for a simple issue. OP has not paid, the application hasn’t even be made yet. Isn’t it a better thing for OP to simply create a new application? Enter everything correctly and avoid any long (unnecessary) grammar? 4 Likes |

@ deept, @poanan ……. Thank you very much for providing a lot of context to this. Any keen reader will see that contrary to what MissJelkyll would want to hoodwink folks into belly, Akshata Murty did not actually commit any tax fraud or crime or any illegal or unlawful action. 1 Like |

Ticha: Thank you very much for this information. Really useful. Summary: The grass always appear greener on the other side |

missjekyll: Yet again… trying to hoodwink the vulnerable and ill/mis-informed. If you sell your treasure bills in Nigeria. Or you sell off that piece of land you bought in 2013 in Iyana-Ipaja. Do you pay taxes from that Nigeria sale to the HMRC? (In addition to the taxes you paid to FIRS/LIRS)? |

profemebee: Even ’s Emmanuel Macron who (and his ers) speak so much bile (I use the word intentionally) on Marie Le Pen. Guess who sent an ‘anti immigration’ bill to Parliament? No. You guessed wrong. It wasn’t Marie Le Pen. It was EMMANUEL MACRON. |

Peerielass: MissJelyll will not mention that. She will refuse to say the fact, which is that they do pay their fair share of taxes on their UK income. Are you surprised she refused to engage when I gave the Gusau & Cornwall factory analogy? |

Hello Ticha, Given your submission, I am kinda perplexed. Why then do we have NHS doctors leaving in droves and moving to Australia & NZ ?… at least so says the UK shadow cabinet et al. Does a ‘Junior Doctor’ earn up to AUD $150,000 annually? So that even with 33% tax, they go home with lots and lots and are able to comfortably live, pay off mortgages and buy second holiday homes etc…. |

Ticha: Sounds like the kind of taxation a certain Labour politician wishes for the UK. |

missjekyll: Better yield the floor. You come all the time to push a Labour agenda. You quoted Zahra as a good debater. Did you notice that Zahra29 debates without recourse to party-political affiliation? You, every time, you castigate the Tories. Paint the Tories as evil. Look at this thread, for the past 300+ pages. Search the thread and see how many times anyone (apart from you) has infused Tory this, Tory that on the thread. You portray Labour as the messiahs. Very small push back like this, very tiny pushback, you collapse like a pack of cards. Like I mentioned, the 2014 Nigerian experience has shown clearly that castigating and painting a ruling party in bad light is not enough. You want us to vote Labour, to get the evil and wicked Tories out, but you are afraid of putting down labours” policies down in black and white to convince us. Tell us, how Labour will do it. That was how Osinbajo, Buhari, Fashola et al made noise in 2014. They pointed out all the evils of the GEJ/UMY/OBJ (16 years of waste). And failed to craft a policy on how they will achieve it. With hindsight, we now know that APC ( equivalent of the present day UK Labour Party) left nigeria worst than they met it. Elaborate on how Labour will do it. And spend less energy on your daily Nairaland Tory bashing. Then, you could win more votes for Labour. PS: I have met David Lammy 1-2-1. I read the Guardian. I watch the BBC. I watch GB News. I am an avid consumer of LBC’s James O’Brien. I voted Rupa Haq in 2017 and voted Daniel Zeichner in 2019. If Dianne Abbott stands next year, who knows, I may vote her. 2 Likes |

homole: Yes. You do need to proof your competency in the English Language. Option 1: & write IELTS. Option 2: Get your OND/HND transcripts and certificates. Get a letter from your school in Nigeria to attest that English was the medium of Instruction. Create an on the UK NARIC (I think they cal it ECCTISS now or so). Do a comparison of your HND/OND. the attestation letter from your school. If it’s comparable to a UK English ( I think B2 they call it), then you are sorted. Use that to proof your English and apply for the visa. If you require any further help, come back here. We are here to help. 2 Likes |

missjekyll: Does he (his company) pay every single kobo in tax for ALL the earnings in the UK? The answer is YES. This non dom argument get as e be. So you, MissJekyll. Let’s assume that your grandfather in Nigeria left you 20,000,000 naira. You open up a small Ankara company in Gusau. You employ people. They work for your company. Your company in Gusau makes profit. Your company pays ALL taxes to the FIRS in Nigeria. The same You, MissJekyll, having moved to the UK, you used the money you earned in the UK to open up a zobo factory in Bath or Cornwall. Your zobo company employs British people and provided jobs for British people. Your zobo company pays ALL its taxes to the HMRC. Then along comes Labour Candidate who says that to raise money in order to fund UK schools and to pay Benefits to UK citizens and to increase the salaries of UK GPs, you MUST pay taxes on ALL your company profits in Gusau, Nigeria to the UK govt, in addition of all the taxes you have paid to the FIRS in Nigeria. In other words, your Zobo factory in Bath pays taxes to HMRC only, whereas your Ankara company in Gusau is expected to pay taxes to both the FIRS and the HMRC. Which kind sense be that? So much for Labour wanting to fund the UK from non dom status taxes. Give me a break! 2 Likes |

dustydee: Starmwr that cannot even tell us what/who a woman is. Starmer that is tilting so much to the Blue team that he has now started copiously quoting Margaret Thatcher? As to your vexation about what KS did to JC, come on….. but Keir ed Corbyn & Corbyn’s mad manifesto on 2019, Keirn’t he? |

missjekyll: As an avid student of (recent Nigerian History), your rhetoric is EXACTLY what the APC used to get to power in 2015. All these ‘Where’ questions you are asking, the APC asked them. And because of all the Where’s rhetoric, the APC got into power. The APC (in 2014) was talking about making $ = NGN. What they failed to do was to say the ‘HOW’. That is the same thing You (and UK Labour & Cooperative Party) are doing. Whipping up rhetorics. Oya, tell us (the voters) how you will achieve it. The HOW is the key thing here. Plus, where will the money come from? Missjekyll. HoW will you achieve these? Railways are expensive yet crap: How will labour reduce the fare from Sheffield to Rotherham from £5.10 to £1.20? The NHS is now rubbish: HOW will Labour un-rubbish it? There are no bobbies on the beat: How will Labour bring bobbies on the beat? And where will the money for the bobbies salaries come from? There are more food banks than macdonalds: How will Labour establish more macdonalds to outnumber the food banks? Prisons are now full to the brim: how will Labour decongest them? You see, you keep on banging about how the Tories are rubbish. Tell us how Labour will solve the problems. 3 Likes |

ehizario2012: But seriously, how will you be angry for someone for doing his job? |
![]() |
ehizario2012: And that’s the reason why you wished it was in Lagos, so that you would do him something untoward, because he was doing his job. If you want to bring up stories that touch, to portray any race as good and another race as bad, better bring up justifiable stories. Your aim of bringing this story is summarised in the last 2 sentences of your original post: To imply that the black guy who is an immigrant (like you) shouldn’t apply the rules to a ‘fellow’ immigrant. Your story was meant to paint white as good and black (immigrant) as bad. No sir. E No gel. 4 Likes |

missjekyll: You mentioned owner of daily mail. I asked you the simplest questions, your skirt around. Realising the folly of not drawing the line between the man vs the man’s businesses. |

Goke7: He made it clear to all of us here that were it to be in Lagos, he would have manhandled the black ticketing officer who was simply just doing his job and applying the rules. 3 Likes |

ehizario2012: Please stop this narrative you are painting, insinuating that it’s black people (ticket inspectors) that do over do. Accept that you were wrong (ignorance is not an excuse before the law). And learn from the experience. And move on. 8 Likes |

ehizario2012: Balderdash!! The white ticket inspectors (who in All honesty failed to do their jobs properly) were probably too scared to apply the rules to you because of fear you could play the race card. Plus, the white men looked at your face and saw that you resembled someone who could do to them what you implicitly implied you would do to that Black ticket inspector (re: last sentence of your original post). So they just ‘let sleeping dog lie’. But that black ticket inspector, he saw you, looked at your face and e no scare am. He has probably handled rough people (in that same Lagos you quoted previously). So he applied the rules. 12 Likes |

missjekyll: You see, my sister. (Probably) unlike you, the Daily Mail does not control or determine my PoV. If it is any comfort (to you), I consume the Guardian, the Independent more than o do the Daily Mail or the Daily telegraph. At least you have not been able to defend the Labour government in Wales. You said the OWNER of the daily mail pays no taxes in the UK. How about the Business? Does the Daily mail (as a business pay their fair share of taxes? Does the daily mail pay corporation taxes? Is the daily mail a burden to the UK? Does the daily mail provide gainful employment to hundreds of citizens (who may otherwise probably have been without jobs?) Is your issue with the daily mail (as a company) or with the daily mail major shareholder? Is your problem the company or the person? |

ehizario2012: Whether Edo man. Lagos man. Or Sheffield man. You were wrong. You even implied that the ticket inspector stuck to the rules because he was BLACK. And you even went on to insinuate that if it was somewhere else, you would have physically assaulted the inspector, for doing their lawful job. Bro. You were wrong. Plain & simple. 13 Likes |

missjekyll: You are beginning to sound like Nigerian Governors. A PDP governor will be performing woefully in his state, he will not be doing what Governors are meant to do. If you ask him, he will point the fingers at the APC President as the cause. Same applies to an ANPP Governor. This Governor will not pay salaries. Not pay pensioners. This Governor will use millions and millions and millions to sponsor pilgrimages. Sponsor mass weddings. Build new mosques. Sponsor quaran recitation programmes, sponsor feeding during Ramadan. This same Governor will not build or improve a single Govt Sec Schoo or primary school. If you want to hold him to ransom, he will point the blame at the PDP president at the centre. Question: Has the Labour government in Wales utilised the ‘meagre’ resources they get from Westminster to better the lives of the Welsh voters (on issues that are within the powers of the devolved governments)? No…. They would rather pursue useless 20mph speed limits. Has the SNP utilised all they get from Westminster to better the lives of the Scots? No, they would rather spend hundreds of hours pursuing phantom gender bills. And Nicola & her hubby will be using money to buy motorhomes. I am not saying we Tories are messiahs. Never. I am not saying we Tories don’t have useless folks amongst us. Never. All I am saying is, you stop this idea of portraying Tories as bad and Labour as messianic. Imagine your way of raising money (according to you) is to tax the hell out of rich people, as though it is a crime to be genuinely rich. It amounts to poor understanding of Economics & capitalism to think that the best way a government can raise money is to tax the hell out of rich people. 2 Likes |
