See you in series 7

We await series 7

Wow! I enjoyed every bit of it, awaiting series 7 please.

Good work, man. I mustn't fail to mention your attention to tell the nitty-grittty; commendable.
I hope to write like this someday o! For a second, I asked, "is it only people this knowledgeable lucky enough to secure an employment "in the abroad" (as you fondly call it)? I also imagined how your interview session was like, I honestly asked myself if I could muscle a 60-minute interview without losing my confidence and cool.

Anyways, keep us updated, man.

Series 7 please. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. You know how to capture your readers. Kudos!

Op where are you ooo

Nice read

Beautifully written and well articulated thread. I am sure you are now a frequent traveller to remember all these details. I was actually playing the scenes in my head as I read through and everything you have described is the exact way it is except that not everyone will get a nice travel companion.

Well done!!

Ah, see me, I almost forgot about family. So, for the majority, there may be some sort of family meeting where people raise expectations. You are reminded that Akin your younger brother is still an undergraduate and will need support. All of a sudden you are now big bros to Akin (from guy or Gbenga to big bros and you say nothing dey being an immigrant). The family also reminds you of Ronke and Ade (your elder siblings) who are graduates but unemployed. Ronke will need your support with starting her small business (catering) while Ade will need assistance from you with going over to the UK to do a masters (no be today African families start to dey craze sha). As if them never kill you finish, you are reminded by the family head that it will not be pleasant to still be living in a rented apartment. They intimate you that the family has decided to complete the bungalow or duplex and that you will play a crucial role in it – nobody asked how much you will be earning (perhaps £30K or £40K gross per annum).

So, brother Tunde jokingly asks how much you will be earning and because brother Tunde works in a bank and travels regularly, you say £40K. Ah, that is 20 Million Naira yearly brother Tunde shouts. He pops out his smart phone and does some calculations – “Gbenga, you will be earning over 1.6 million Naira monthly – that’s more than 3 times what I currently earn”. You forget that you are being set up big time to fail. Of course, people on Nairaland forgot to tell you that your gross salary is absent of Tax, NI contributions and Council Tax (if you don’t do retirement deductions). Don’t worry, nobody will tell you to have multiple sim cards when you reach the UK.

Interesting read, waiting for update

It's a baffling how a first time traveller could remember everything in such details. I believe some artistic elements have been added to make the story more pleasing to read even though facts n dates were distorted (distortion doesn't make them false) quite a lot.

Actually, I am more interested in the part regarding life in the actual UK. My guess is that the actual events in this story happened at around 2 to 5 years ago.

A good read none the less, waiting for life in UK part.

My thoughts exactly

Hello seniors in the house. I need advise on the steps to take regarding vignette error on my children’s visa. My wife is the principal applicant for tier 2 while myself and our boys are dependents. There was error of initials on the visa of the boys while mine was correct. I had submitted at the TLS on Friday. What should I do again please?
