Why in the name of the UK is everyone not paying the same amount for water???

Some people's water bill for a year could relocate a family of 7 from Nigeria to the UK🤣

Anybody know any house I can fetch water for free or any well in the UK? 🤣🤣🤣

Funny enough, I pay £42, and when I told my friend, she gave me a bombastic side-eye because hers is over £100 monthly.

Babies born in October are pretty special, and science says so! 🎉🍂

Here’s why:

1️⃣ They might just live to 100
A 2011 University of Chicago study found that people born in October have a significantly higher chance of reaching 100 compared to those born in April. Longevity perks, anyone? 🥳

2️⃣ They’re sporty and strong
A 2014 study on school kids’ stamina and strength found that October-born children were stronger than those born in almost all other months.

Reason: More summer sunlight during the mother’s pregnancy means extra Vitamin D for the unborn child, helping with bone and muscle growth.

Dr. Gavin Sandercock from Essex University says, “They start off with more muscle, become active earlier, and get involved in athletics sooner. It becomes a positive cycle.” 🏃‍♂️💪

3️⃣ Romantic, but all about business too
Ruled by Venus, October babies are charming, harmonious, and great at making peace – perfect romantic partners. 💕
But don’t let that fool you – October-born individuals are ambitious, hard-working, and all about business. They have the drive to succeed, make smart moves, and turn their dreams into reality. 💼✨

So, if you’re an October baby, congratulations, you’ve got the charm, strength, and ambition combo going for you! 🎂🍁

Come and grab your 🌼 🌸 🌻 if you're an Ocotber born, your child was born in October child or you're married to one🌸🥰🫶

Woke up this morning and asked my son, “Can you order school dinner today? I’m too exhausted and have a lot on my mind after yesterday’s disqualification.”

For those who didn’t read the earlier post: he refused packed lunch and only agreed when I said I’d give him the dinner money to save in his account.

He said, “Okay.”

Five minutes later, he came back and asked, “So… what’s going to happen to my £3.70? You’re still giving it to me, right? I’ve calculated my money for the week 😳😳”

Hello?! I’m still paying for the school dinner 😂. His argument? “It’s not my fault I can’t go to school without a packed lunch!”

Make una eeeeeelpppp me iye 🤣🤣

£3.70 feels like a lot… until you realise you’re about to pay double!

Big changes in UK immigration 🇬🇧

The UK government has introduced new rules that affect refugees and their families. Here’s what you need to know:

1️⃣ Family reunion stopped (for now)

Before: If you got refugee status, you could bring your husband/wife and children to join you in the UK.

Now: That right has been paused.

What it means: Refugees can’t automatically bring their family at the moment. The government says they will create new rules by spring 2026.

2️⃣ Settlement is harder

Before: After 5 years of being a refugee, you automatically got settlement (permanent stay).

Now: That automatic right is gone. Refugees will have to prove themselves first, for example:

Show they can speak English,

Show they are contributing to society (e.g., working, studying, volunteering),

Have no criminal record.

⚠️ In short:

Refugees may wait longer before they can stay permanently.

Bringing family over is now more difficult.

Someone recently left a comment questioning why I have not personally assisted him to relocate, since “someone helped me” too.

With all due respect, if even your parents have not been able to relocate you, and your government has not created that pathway for you, why direct such anger at me?

Relocation is not about handouts, it takes grace, determination, and the right information. That is exactly why I share these updates: so others can also find their own opportunities.

UK is sweet, free healthcare and all that. But you’ll truly understand the meaning of billing when your child (who isn’t on your visa) or your aged parents visit a hospital here.

The kind of bill they hand you… ehn 🤯… enough to last you a lifetime in Nigeria! 😂

👉🏽 Have a child in the UK? Make sure you attach them to your visa.

👉🏽 Inviting aged parents? Either buy comprehensive travel health insurance before they come, or register them with your local GP. But remember, if they get admitted to a hospital, you’re paying from your pocket.

💡 It’s far cheaper to pay for insurance upfront than to face NHS bills that can run into thousands of pounds.

Do you know that I make less money on Facebook when I share updates about relocation than when I post about my family, even if the likes, reactions, and comments are higher?

I’ve been doing this even before monetisation, and I’ll continue because if it’s not about money, many people would have gone far.

I won’t relent in supporting and sharing opportunities for those with limited resources, no matter the names you call it. 🌱✨
