@TosinOlugbenga How on earth? Won't be able to sleep if this money is missing every month That's at least 600 per month

Thank You HMRC. The govt of the UK will never cheat you.

@heismric Hey. What's the minimum SEIS investment check?

Back when I was working a 9-5 and earned 6 figures £, there was a period my deducted income tax + NI contribution was almost £50k for that tax year, and I near did lost my mind. Looking back, If I had invested in an SEIS backed startup, I’d have gotten most of that tax back from HMRC as tax relief or refund.

@YusufAsunmogejo I've just got a couple questions to seek clarification: Other issues aside, Is the fingers not able to bear witness that you used it to count the counter to make dhikr. Can Allah that makes our limbs speak not make non-living things speak and testify?

A follower asked for my take on using beads or those digital counters for dhikr. I spent years as an Imam in Lagos and Ibadan and I have seen how these things work in real life. There is a real danger when a tool for remembrance becomes a mindless habit or a way to show off how much you are doing. Sheikh Fawzan discussed this in his collection of fatwas called Al-Muntaqa, where he pointed out that while using beads might be allowed, it is better to use your fingers. The logic is deep because the Prophet (peace be upon him) used his right hand and we know the fingers will be questioned and will testify for us on the Day of Resurrection. He said: عليكن بالتسبيح والتهليل والتقديس، واعقدن بالأنامل فإنهن مسئولات مستنطقات، ولا تغفلن فتنسين الرحمة "You must glorify (Tasbeeh), declare the Oneness (Tahleel), and sanctify (Taqdees). Count them on your fingertips, for they will be questioned and made to speak. And do not be heedless, or you will forget mercy." When you use your hands, you are forced to be present in the moment instead of just clicking a button while your mind is miles away. The problem with the "charbi" or digital counters is that they can turn a spiritual connection into a numbers game. However, your fingers are part of your creation and they will bear witness for you. A plastic bead or a screen cannot testify that you used it to praise Allah. When you use your right hand, you stay present. It is about the quality of the remembrance. This is what matters. Never subscribe to a second option in your dhikr. Don't allow a tool take the place of your heart. Allah knows best.

About two months ago, someone wanted to hire my friend as a CRM expert. They had a call, spoke in detail, and after the call, the client said they still had a few other candidates to review. Then the client went silent. A month later, they came back. It turned out they had hired someone else who couldn’t deliver. They asked my friend if she was still available, she said yes. They sent her an offer. When she showed me the offer, it was clear they were not just looking for a CRM expert. They wanted a content marketer, AI Video creator, Video editor, an operations manager, and everything in between, all for 550K. I told her directly, “You will burn out, turn it down.” She turned it down. And this person is a Nigerian living in the UK. Look at the offer letter below👇👇

@Sai_Ishaya_ Had blood taken before they told me it couldn't be used due to malaria antibody. So essentially, they wasted my blood and time.

This is also a big problem. -The NHS urgently needs more Black donors, especially for the Ro blood subtype critical for sickle cell patients. But current malaria screening rules are quietly locking out thousands of eligible Black African donors (including possibly this guy). -Grew up in Nigeria or Ghana? You'll face a malaria antibody test before donating. Test positive(which most will, for potentially decades after leaving their home countries) land you're deferred. Yet that positive result almost certainly reflects old immune memory, not active infection or any REAL risk. -The policy doesn't distinguish between someone who arrived from Lagos last month and someone who left 20 years ago as a child and never returned. Both will get deferred. That's a blunt instrument that disproportionately hits exactly the donor communities the NHS needs most. –What we need is not impossible if they truly care about the groups affected are: Quantitative antibody levels rather than binary positive/negative results, formal weighting for time since leaving endemic areas, PCR testing for actual parasites rather than using antibodies as a proxy, and above ALL a long overdue evidence-based policy review. Sickle cell patients, overwhelmingly Black,nare running short of the specific blood they need. The policy review can't keep being delayed.

@kenkenlewu That's a lot of mould. Bad for your health. Need to ventilate the house regularly to prevent reoccurence

My UK 🇬🇧 Landlord called me over the weekend to say she wanted to come over for us to sign some fresh paper works 🤓🤓 Omo… my heart skipped. I told my Oga straight up, “this One landlord is coming I hope she’s not going to increase rent oo😫😫 Cause even if it’s by £50 I’m not paying I’ll just tell her I want to pack“😏😏 Long story short, she just came to make us aware of the new laws and renters right that will be in place from May 1st.🤩🤩 Apparently here’s what is changing in a couple of days, if you are renting in the UK 🇬🇧 1. no more fixed contract, (6 months or 1yr contracts dissolved) and you can leave a house with just 2 months notice 🤓🤩 2. no more sudden rent increase 🏡💸The law states that they can only increase rent once a year (this one sweet me ehnnnn😂😂) meaning landlords can’t use hikes in rent to indirectly chase u out 🤌 3. ”no fault’s eviction ” has ended ❌… Meaning, your landlord can’t just give u quit notice, they need to prove a specific legal fault u have first in the court before telling you to leave and they must give 4months notice 🥸🤓 4. no bidding wars 🤓🤓🤓 - when I was house hunting, there are some houses I loved and wanted to pay for but someone else offered high price and landlord gave to the highest bidder. That has now ended. Landlords must agree and put a fixed price before advertising a house for rent 🤩🤩🥳 5. no more advance on rent…💸🧾💰 Upfront payments has been abolished so that people who don’t have savings can rent and pay as they earn😜🤓 6. landlords cannot discriminate anymore . They must not refuse to rent because you have pets, children or you’re on benefits- (this is huge 🫶🏻😸) Lastly, 7. decent home standards: landlords are legally required to fix damps, molds, and safety hazards, if you notice any of these just send your landlord email straight and if they don’t respond you can report to your council 😺😹😸🤭 I just said ” did you come all these way just to tell me I now have more rights in your property?“🫣 She just laughed over it and said “legally, yes“. Then I said, On that last note, well there’s some molds behind the wall in one of the rooms, I just noticed it and still researching on the best way to handle it ” She said where?! And I showed her. That’s how landlord switched into full fixing mode, she went outside and grabbed this bucket, filled it with some liquid and legit started washing off the mold 🫠🫠 After washing she sprayed it and painted the wall herself and did other small small fixes here and there.🤓🤓🤓 In my mind I was like, ”this can never be naija Landlord o“😛😝 Code Scholar’s

@mikeachimugu01 What happens if the passenger wants to take another flight to another country and not return to Nigeria? Will they still have to take Egypt air or an interline airline, because that rule itself is flawed in itself.

The passenger needs to be educated. If an airline flies you to a destination and you are considered inadmissible, the authorities will have the same airline fly you back, and they will be fined. Without their return ticket, that means they'd be flying you for free and also pay a fine for having brought you in. They therefore try to prevent that possible scenario by ensuring that you have a return ticket with them. Another thing you can do is book your return ticket with another airline that has an interline arrangement with the first operator. They know how to share liabilities between each other. For instance, if you book Air France for outbound and KLM for inbound, it COULD work. This is just one example. Not everything is done to hurt or humiliate a passenger. Airlines do not control passport control in any state, so they also have a right to try and be careful. Finally. As much as airlines have a duty to provide information if asked by the passenger, be advised that the responsibility of ensuring proper and complete travel documents and itinerary lies with the passenger.

@tobyasky Lol. Are you driving in the UK. Cos some UK drivers san Lori and are the exact opposite of this o

I love driving in the UK, it’s just interesting how everyone knows they have the responsibility to keep traffic moving. Everyone understands right of way and respect it without anyone there to enforce. Everyone understands when to let people joining from other roads get in without any fuss. Like there’s no Lastma saying, “you go, you wait”, everyone just knows what to do. Sanity.

@iamdieforyouuu Eba & Egusi

You have to name him the last thing you ate

@FCYildiiz Any idea @grok

Guess the Player by transfer Level: Very Hard

Interesting problem. Any thoughts?

@OluwaLargess Phone battery started swelling after 2years of using, basically became a TV phone. Reached out to Support. They eventually sent a new phone. Call it refurb, but maybe less than 1% used.

My Starlink stopped working 2 days ago, I have been using it since2023,cold start to Dey catch me because getting another one no Dey my plan, so I hit the support section and was chatting with the AI after an instruction for me to restart and all, and router didn’t still come up, the AI apologized for the inconvenience and told me it would place an order for the new and latest standard kit and it will get to my door step at zero (0) cost, I thought it’s whining ooo, I got a mail from DHL today updating me about delivery … I still feel like it’s whining because as a Nigerian this is so new to me and it makes me wonder the kind of service our people at the diaspora enjoy … like I said my fingers are crossed 🤞 till I receive the package …. How did your day go tho … good evening

@BukkyOA Basically, FIRE means Financially Independent, Retire Early. HENRY means High Earner, Not Rich Yet. People basically making 100,125k upwards. Or people that have networth of eg. 400k across pension, ISAs, GIA, cash 😭

@BukkyOA Lol. Let them go to FIRE on Reddit. Or HENRY

A guy made a post on TikTok stating that he earns £60k a year in the UK, and to my utter shock, many people in the comments called him a liar. People earn big in this country. They are just not on social media doing 'budget my salary for the month with me'. We need to shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset so that we can unlock higher levels of earnings.

Trying to replace my driver's license on Gov.uk and I'm being asked to confirm recent address, when I opened recent current account, any credit card limits, for them to be sure of my identity. These guys know so much about us than you can imagine. Data choke

Bringing deals 🤕

@MentusNnaemeka @OgaHans How's the insurance with the CAT

@OgaHans Good buy! Auction will not sell you any unsafe car to be used on the UK roads. I bought for almost 6k about a year ago. I have done about 10k miles over the last one year. Car is cruise!

Car enthusiast, let's have Your say. 2013 FORD FIESTA ZETEC ( From Auction) Category - S Milage - 40,000 Runs & Drives. Automatic Total and final cost £3,490 Good or Bad deal? 🤔 Make i hear for You bro 🤝

@omotolaniee 2 under 2 is the best

If women truly didn’t allow their men to touch them after they just gave birth, why do we have so many 2 under 2? Dey play o😂😂

@Freddymorgan @funnyscandal Lmao. It snot even possible.

@funnyscandal I drove a 2014 fiat 500l, 1.3litre automatic for a friend. But it’s not ULEZ compliant.

Driving is probably more economical than many train routes, no wonder there are so many cars on the motorway! A four-hour train journey from a certain location costs £96 despite applying rail-card, but the same trip by car only costs around £40 in fuel. I had to weigh my options 🤔

@Kehzie28 @kukoyi_ Lmao We Def have. Cos we are used to it. We don't feel it. Ghanians, Brits know you're Nigerian once you speak.

@kukoyi_ I think Nigerians don’t even have a typical accent. We just sound good. Unlike the Ghanians and Zimbabweans, when they speak you’ll definitely know.

To my Brothers, your Accent Is a Badge of Identity: Own it! Many Nigerians abroad are often made to feel that their accent is something to be ashamed of — an obstacle to be polished away. But your accent is more than just a way of speaking; it is a reflection of your origin, your story, and your roots. It carries the rhythm of your native tongue, the inflection of your upbringing, and the pride of a people who are rich in history and tradition. Rather than shying away from it, wear your accent with confidence. When people hear you speak, let them hear the power and beauty of Nigeria’s diversity. The Nigerian accent is bold, warm, and unapologetically vibrant — just like the people it represents. That doesn’t mean you should speak Oshogbo or Abia English o ✌🏾 A Proud Nigerian 💪🏾
