    Thank you for all that you do. I'm new to your channel. I'm not a Nigerian but I love your work .There's something I'd like to caution you about. I joined your telegram channel last week and I realized there's A LOT of bullying towards members who aren't Nigerians. The sad thing is nothing was being done about it. Even the admins do nothing. I literally had to leave the channel because it was too much for me. Maybe something was done after I left but honestly it was terrible. Like 5 people or more attacking one person and no one was doing anything. Kindly do something about such behaviours. It portrays a very very bad picture. Don't let a few bad apples ruin the reputation of something you've worked so hard for. Blessings

      A comment was deleted or what but the person is right. The Duke person was in cahoots with the said women. Laughing and mocking the lady. The fact that there are 5 people who saw the exchange and felt it was cyber bullying means it was horrible. I hope she's okay. That was pure jealousy from those women and malice from the 'Duke'! I stand corrected but it's your page your rules!

      I literally agree to this
      I had to leave the group .
      As a new comer into this healthcare stuff Application, Sometimes ago a lady posted she had gotten her COS and I was happy for her.
      I never knew then that it wasn't professional to ask People of the care home she applied to probably I could apply also..
      Which they would have explained to me
      The insult and feedback I got from d group saying do I want them to withdraw her COS, do I want to bombard the company with Application and Soo on..
      I was like the sense of reasoning on the group is low .

    Hi , on the part where you said you can use your home country driving license for the first 12 months , do you expect to be given any form of documentation for that before you can use your license? E.g something to show Incase you are stopped by the police ? Or you don’t need anything at all .

    • @TochiEsther

    11:08 so the thing about car financing for immigrants is that for them to even give you that car finance you must have lived a minimum of 3 years in the UK or I think have a minimum of 3 addresses, and that is because of your credit score, your credit score is a huge determinant of whether you are granted the finance or not

    • @TochiEsther
      @TochiEsther  2 роки тому

      Yes, not just brand but even the model, we've insured two different mercedes and the bigger more expensive one had a cheaper insurance. So the also consider the safety features of the car which is something newer cars offer. Overall If you have any car in mind get insurance quotes online before you buy.

    • @TochiEsther

      The amount is annual but you can pay monthly, divide the amount into 10 or 12months. That's what many people do. However for car insurance if you pay once a year you'd save some money on the total amount paid compared to paying monthly.

      You can get a car with cash payment immediately you arrive UK. If you hope to get it on finance it will be difficult because of credit history. Electric cars are best in terms of emission, for other cars; most times recent models/year are better in emission.
