Donxavier: @gokeke

Going through an agent is an entirely personal decision,That's your call sir. The reason for this thread is so we don't have to go through agents,INFACT that's the sole purpose of this thread. To self educate us on all UK student Visa issues.

I would suggest you do it yourself if that is possible.

@Donxavier,this is d great guy that you are.

Donxavier:

i dont agree with you.

I wasn't expecting you to sing on my key!!!...I still believe you are great guy and many have attested to that on this thread.But,how would you feel,as a foreign student that you are,trying to find your way around the city and asking a Nigerian that has been around for a very long time and thoroughly knows every nook and crannies of the streets around,for a description and he/she turns around to ask if you did'nt study the street signs/guide on google map before coming? Nobody knows it all bro.You could have simply ignore d new guy asking the question or proffer d answers just like Atlantis did and encourage him to study the thread properly for answers to any question he might still have in mind.

Donxavier:

You are lucky Atlantis has your time but these are irritating questions. You have a whole resource before you, just check the pages or use the nairaland custom search. All these questions have been answered repeatedly. Google is your friend.

@Donxavier,it would have been better if u had kept mute instead of revealing d ugly part of you.To put it mildy,that response of yours is just too bad.Atlantis already have a reward for d friendly response.Don't see anythin bad in lightening somebody else's lamp.it takes nothing away from us.You've been wonderful on this forum this term and I want to believe this is just a one-off.

perekeme flint: oga Justinwise,am quite impressed with the manner u treat issues on this platform,kudos to u and more Greece to ur elbow.please i have an issue because my uk visa application was refused the only reason the eco gave was that the attempted to reach my bank and was unable to contact my bank to confirm my bank statement.and i used atlas micro finance bank.i have gotten a letter from the bank and am about applying for a review.do i have a strong case and how soon can the review concluded.i need ur urgent reply cos d final day of registration is on the 5th of october and my head is going gaga.thanks

Bro,so sorry about the refusal.But it seems d Micro-finance bank u used didn't place you in a good stead with ECO hence,he has to call to verify and not being to established d contact with bank 'nailed d coffin' on your case.Pls,next time use d normal commeercial banks we have around,at least d ECO's are very used to them since they come in contact wit loads of bank statements coming from this banks.AS per d review,u can give it a try and who knows,u may end up smiling once again.

All d best!

EAN:6934933014114

Thanx bro

My take breifly:

This debate may linger on uneccessarily.I share all the sentiment vented so far,but I think I share a little bias with Justwise and it is for this obvious reason;Officiality.
Mr Charles,I don't think it will cost your bro anything to contact his school and inform them about the Govt grants,so that it will REFLECT on his CAS and that will make him have an easy day with the ECO and substantiate his claim of d grant in the first place.Truth be told,those ECO guys Validates any information coming from their Schools even than our Govt because of fake document experiences.

So bro,an email to d school will just do it for you

justwise:

Let your school include the name of that organisation in your CAS and include a letter from that organisation in your visa application as well.

Thanks, Justwise

justwise: That will depend on who the sponsor is, if the sponsor is Nigerian Govt or international org then they have to be named in the CAS

That is the answer am looking for.it is an international org.Thx

@Justwise and Donxavier.Is it possible to have the name of my sponsor stated on d CAS,since they will be paying d initial deposit and also to make everything authentic before d ECO,since I will also be presenting d letter of sponsor at d interview stage.Lastly will d CAS be emailed to me or couriered.Thanx a lot.

@Justwise and Donxavier,I love u guys for your apt responses.Now let's look at this scenarios: Am hoping to get a full sponsorship from this int'l company,which will means they either make the whole tuiton payment and writes to the embassy that they will responsible for the maintenace fund.Of course their name would have been on the CAS as the depositor of the tuition already.Then,the other one is,in the event I didn't get a full sponsorship,but recieves a partial one from them eg 50% sponsorship,that will mean I will make the initial 50% tuition payment here myself,having my name as d depositor on d CAS,the letter from the sponsor stating they will be responsible for the other 50% PLUS the maintenance fund.the last scenarios here is,even if I get a full sponsorship,but the company decides to make d initial 50% first and issues a letter to letter to d ECO that they will be responsible for the remainder PLUS d maintenance,will this suffice?
Lastly,To which address should d sponsor direct their letter.
Thanx guys.

Av gone thru dat a million times,they seems to be silent on the presenation of d bank statement.Pls,let me have your own interpretation

@Justwise,U are doing a yeoman's job,Man.God help me to start putting smile on people's faces the way U are doing.Pls a quick one.Do an international Organisation sponsoring have to give me their bank statement along with the Letter of Sponsorship?

@Donxavier & Justwise,what if d Local Govt feels because they can't compete with the Federal and State Govt in term of the budgetary allocation and decides to offer a partial Scholarship cos they feel the course I want to study in d UK will be beneficial to them upon the completion,if I will work with them afterwards.

Yea Donxavier,I went thru it and saw d requirement,but does presenting the local Govt bank statement part of the condition.Thanx Man.

Donxavier: . If you started from 15 till now you'd have seen it. Yes, your Local Government can serve as your sponsor if they meet some requirements. Read every page from 15 till current. It's there.

Have gone thru it already,but it was d State Govt that was mentioned.I just want to know if d Local Govt can equally Sponsor.Thanks

Donxavier: . Start reading from page 15.

@Justwise,Pls can the local Government sponsor me and if yes,apart from the Sponsorship letter,what other document am I suppose to get from them.Thanks

Shortly after dawn broke on April 22, 1990, the following broadcast was heard over the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in Lagos:

"Fellow Nigerian Citizens,

On behalf of the patriotic and well-meaning peoples of the Middle Belt and the southern parts of this country, I , Major Gideon Orkar, wish to happily inform you of the successful ousting of the dictatorial, corrupt, drug baronish, evil man, deceitful, homo-sexually-centered, prodigalistic, un-patriotic administration of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida. We have equally commenced their trials for unabated corruption, mismanagement of national economy, the murders of Dele Giwa, Major-General Mamman Vatsa, with other officers as there was no attempted coup but mere intentions that were yet to materialise and other human rights violations.

The National Guard already in its formative stage is disbanded with immediate effect. Decrees Number 2 and 46 are hereby abrogated. We wish to emphasise that this is not just another coup but a well conceived, planned and executed revolution for the marginalised, oppressed and enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from eternal slavery and colonisation by a clique of this country.

Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south.

They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt and making them voiceless and now extending same to the south.

It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination, oppression and marginalisation is against the wish of God and therefore, must be resisted with the vehemence.

Anything that has a beginning must have an end. It will also suffice here to state that all Nigerians without skeleton in their cupboards need not to be afraid of this change. However, those with skeleton in their cupboards have all reasons to fear, because the time of reckoning has come.

For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state the three primary reasons why we have decided to oust the satanic Babangida administration. The reasons are as follows:

(a) To stop Babangida's desire to cunningly, install himself as Nigeria's life president at all costs and by so doing, retard the progress of this country for life. In order to be able to achieve this undesirable goals of his, he has evidently started destroying those groups and sections he perceived as being able to question his desires.

Examples of groups already neutralised, pitched against one another or completely destroyed are:

(1) The Sokoto caliphate by installing an unwanted Sultan to cause division within the hitherto strong Sokoto caliphate.

(2) The destruction of the peoples of Plateau State, especially the Lantang people, as a balancing force in the body politics of this country.

(3) The buying of the press by generous monetary favours and the usage of State Security Service, SSS, as a tool of terror.

(4) The intent to cow the students by the promulgation of the draconian decree Number 47.

(5) The cowing of the university teaching and non-teaching staff by an intended massive purge, using the 150 million dollar loan as the necessitating factor.

(6) Deliberately withholding funds to the armed forces to make them ineffective and also crowning his diabolical scheme through the intended retrenchment of more than half of the members of the armed forces.

Other pointers that give credence to his desire to become a life president against the wishes of the people are:

(1) His appointment of himself as a minister of defence, his putting under his direct control the SSS, his deliberate manipulation of the transition programme, his introduction of inconceivable, unrealistic and impossible political options, his recent fraternisation with other African leaders that have installed themselves as life presidents and his dogged determination to create a secret force called the national guard, independent of the armed forces and the police which will be answerable to himself alone, both operationally and administratively.

It is our strong view that this kind of dictatorial desire of Babangida is unacceptable to Nigerians of the 1990's, and, therefore, must be resisted by all.

(b) Another major reason for the change is the need to stop intrigues, domination and internal colonisation of the Nigerian state by the so-called chosen few. This, in our view, has been and is still responsible for 90 percent of the problems of Nigerians. This indeed has been the major clog in our wheel of progress.

This clique has an unabated penchant for domination and unrivalled fostering of mediocrity and outright detest for accountability, all put together have been our undoing as a nation.

This will ever remain our threat if not checked immediately. It is strongly believed that without the intrigues perpetrated by this clique and misrule, Nigeria will have in all ways achieved developmental virtues comparable to those in Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, India, and even Japan.

Evidence, therefore, this cancerous dominance has as a factor constituted by a major and unpardonable clog in the wheel of progress of the Nigerian state. (Sic) It is suffice to mention a few distasteful intrigues engineered by this group of Nigerians in recent past. These are:

(1) The shabby and dishonourable treatment meted on the longest serving Nigerian general in the person of General Domkat Bali, who in actual fact had given credibility to the Babangida administration.

(2) The wholesale hijacking of Babangida's administration by the all powerful clique.

(3) The disgraceful and inexplicable removal of Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Professor Tam David-West, Mr. Aret Adams and so on from office.

(4) The now-pervasive and on-going retrenchment of Middle Belt and southerners from public offices and their instant replacement by the favoured class and their stooges.

(5) The deliberate disruption of the educational culture and retarding its place to suit the favoured class to the detriment of other educational minded parts of this country.

(6) The deliberate impoverishment of the peoples from the Middle Belt and the south, making them working ghosts and feeding on the formulae of 0-1-1- or 0-0-0 while the aristocratic class and their stooges are living in absolute affluence on a daily basis without working for it.

(7) Other countless examples of the exploitative, oppressive, dirty games of intrigues of its class, where people and stooges that can best be described by the fact that even though they contribute very little economically to the well being of Nigeria, they have over the years served and presided over the supposedly national wealth derived in the main from the Middle Belt and the southern part of this country, while the people from these parts of the country have been completely deprived from benefiting from the resources given to them by God.

(c) The third reason for the change is the need to lay a strong egalitarian foundation for the real democratic take off of the Nigerian state or states as the circumstances may dictate.

In the light of all the above and in recognition of the negativeness of the aforementioned aristocratic factor, the overall progress of the Nigerian state a temporary decision to excise the following states namely, Sokoto, Borno, Katsina, Kano and Bauchi states from the Federal Republic of Nigeria comes into effect immediately until the following conditions are met.

The conditions to be met to necessitate the re-absorption of the aforementioned states are as following:

(i) To install the rightful heir to the Sultanate, Alhaji Maccido, who is the people's choice.

(ii) To send a delegation led by the real and recognised Sultan Alhaji Maccido to the federal government to vouch that the feudalistic and aristocratic quest for domination and operation will be a thing of the past and will never be practised in any part of the Nigeria state.

By the same token, all citizens of the five states already mentioned are temporarily suspended from all public and private offices in Middle Belt and southern parts of this country until the mentioned conditions above are met.

They are also required to move back to their various states within one week from today. They will, however, be allowed to return and joint the Federal Republic of Nigeria when the stipulated conditions are met.

In the same vein, all citizens of the Middle Belt and the south are required to come back to their various states pending when the so-called all-in-all Nigerians meet the conditions that will ensure a united Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise.

This exercise will not be complete without purging corrupt public officials and recovering their ill-gotten wealth, since the days of the oil boom till date. Even in these hard times, when Nigerians are dying from hunger, trekking many miles to work for lack of transportation, a few other Nigerians with complete impunity are living in unbelievable affluence both inside and outside the country.

We are extremely determined to recover all ill-gotten wealth back to the public treasury for the use of the masses of our people. You are all advised to remain calm as there is no cause for alarm. We are fully in control of the situation as directed by God. All airports, seaports and borders are closed forthwith.

The former Armed Forces Ruling Council is now disbanded and replaced with National Ruling Council to be chaired by the head of state with other members being a civilian vice-head of state, service chiefs, inspector general of police, one representative each from NLC, NUJ, NBA, and NANS.

A curfew is hereby imposed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice. All members of the armed forces and the police forces are hereby confined to their respective barracks.

All unlawful and criminal acts by those attempting to cause chaos will be ruthlessly crushed. Be warned as we are prepared at all costs to defend the new order.

All radio stations are hereby advised to hook on permanently to the national network programme until further notice.

Long live all true patriots of this great country of ours. May God and Allah through his bountiful mercies bless us all.
