The end date of his POF (5th of AUG) still falls within 31days of the day he intends to apply (30th of Aug). I believe he can still use it, less there's something else I'm missing.

scobyy2007:
According to info on the UKVI website:

You must have this money for at least 28 consecutive days. The end date of the 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date you apply for your visa.

https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/money

You cant use it. This is because of the obvious reason from the statement above.

FULL Vaccinations taken in Nigeria is recognised by the UK govt as fully vaccinated as long as the complete dose (2jabs for astrazeneca) is taken at least 14 days before your travel to the UK. Not all vaccines are approved by the UK, some countries have theirs and so you might be termed fully vaccinated in such countries, but not the UK. Vaccines currently being distributed in Nigeria are approved vaccines.

Oggg:
Oh my God! The vaccination received in Nigeria is not approved. Pls same way yu quoted that place go and read up the full vaccinations approved by the UK govt, Nigeria is NOT approved!!!!
Better pay for your day 2 and day 8 tests + quarantine for 10 days when coming from Nigeria as your Nigerian-received vaccination holds no water at this time.

The rule says your POF should be in your account for 28days minimum and the last day stated on the POF should not exceed 31 days from the date of application. So your POF is valid for presentation till 5th of Sept.

Tybello101:
Naira Fam, pls I really need a quick one on this?
A POF that carries from 1st July- 5th August, in accordance with the UKVI rule when is the deadline to use such POF for visa application pls?
Answers Pls

No o! Don't give room to village people!

POF is strictly MAINTENANCE & TUITION FEES!

Chiderahauxin:
Pls after getting visa can I use that POF to pay for my flight?? And get some other things?

I believe the UK govt. Stated that if you're in the UK for masters program (1 or 2 years) you can apply to get a Post Graduate Work Visa https://www.gov.uk/graduate-visa (which doesn't require you to have a sponsor, neither work nor school). You don't need to have a job to apply for the 2years PGW visa after your masters.

If you're going for a PhD course, you can get 3 years PGW visa with same terms. If you get a job that pays above a certain salary band at any time, you can apply for a skilled worker visa https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
I hope this helps.

DOK987:
Some schools will state the course as 2 years with placement from scratch and give you 2 years , some other schools (which your school is part of) will only give you 1 year visa and tell you that if you can secure a placement for the second year then they will give you extension letter to give ukvi, however it is very difficult (but not impossible) to extend the student visa while in the uk. So i advice you start looking at the possibility that you are doing a 1 year course and if you really want to do placement then start applying right now ( yes you can start now ) to try secure a placement and have enough time to apply for visa extension before the 1 year is up.

Funny enough, has there been any official release to this effect?

Moreover who is DCO really? Who has heard about DCO? Who set them up? When were they setup? Who set them up? Where is their secretariat located? Anyone can cook up a website and claim any service offering. Moreover, I checked and it seems the domain is newly aquired... Sounds dodgy!

Not playing down the severity of the news if true, but we have seen it many times in the past where we have seen sensational news that actually turned out to be a hoax! But emotions have already overcome reasoning and its too late to start believing the truth.

If you've CONFIRMED ANSWERS to the above questions, please reply this comment, I'm open to learning.

Because you're blind to see how she was dressed... Wait until your sister or mother is harrassed sexually... Then let's see if you will still come here and spit out this nonsense!

kingdman:
when they always dress to kill, they are now shouting harassment... nonsense

I'ts obvious you don't like your brother's wife, so much that it shows. They have given you the hint that it's time for you to bounce!

You should stop complaining though, she isn't your househelp nor does she report/defer to you.

It's her house don't forget and she can do it anyhow she wants to... Your brother isn't complaining, neither should you. Mind you, you don't own that room. If they want to use it, they can use it at will. With little or no notice to you.

Get out of the house, rent your own apartment! Stop whinning!

This is the reason most young couple prefer not to allow family members stay with them.

Gang90:
So guys it valentine's day, I'm really disgusted, okay I stay in my brothers house, I travelled, I came back around 2:30 I wanted to enter my room but my brother told me wait a while, with my adult mind, I realised they having some couple time, I dropped my bag in the living room and head out.

But I came back to find out the room is scattered and the bedsheet there, a responsible woman should at least wash the bed sheet noting that a grown up Male stays there.

I will be 26 this year, I had not really had sex so all these things imagining a strange woman's bodily fluids in my bedsheet is disgusting. I can take it from the side of my brother but not the wife, she disgusts me honestly, she is not my girlfriend, not my sister, not my wife, not my mother why should she expect I wash her after sex sheets for her or why can't she just pick the sheet immediately and wash it, it could have dried by now. And it really feel awful for me if I try to wash it, honestly.

This is about to be the worst valentine's day for me, I'm planning to head out and rent a room in hotel but who knows most hotel rooms will be disgusting today, what do I do please advice.

I'm hating knowing already, cause if I didn't know it could all not be so dirty to me, now my bed looks so dirty to me and I can't attempt to wash it until at least 24 hours and I will wash it soaked in hot water, I hate nonses just cause my brothers accepts you does not mean everyone in the family sees you as one flesh.

I don't think he has said anything off o. Save for he's a police officer and should have some reserve on civility.
But he has said it... If you now come and want to kill him because of end SARS... He will kill you too and kill himself with the last bullet.

No man would stand and look when another person wants to come kill him... He his a police officer, but he also has his rights, including right to life.

Still on still... #EndPoliceBrutality #EndPoliceBrutality #EndPoliceBrutality

The viral video of this young officer has been flying around after he made his threats public to everyone..

Well, legally, the flight plan he filed was perfectly in check.. he had 30 mins of fuel left and that is what is required in aviation. The problem, I think, comes from the fact that they had burnt 30 mins of fuel already (10mins on ground, 20 mins test flight). Could this be a miscalculation that caused the issue?

Jakumo:
The pilot made a very basic error as captured in this quote : " “The helicopter has an endurance of 3:24h. The operational flight plan filed by the pilot indicated an endurance of 3:15h and an estimated flight time of 2:45h."

For the pilot to have filed a flight time that only fuel burn margin of THIRTY MINUTES, means that the pilot left virtually no extra fuel at all, because any headwind encountered on that flight would have consumed far more than 8 minutes worth of fuel, making a crash highly likely even in the best of circumstances.

It is the height of irresponsibility to allow an un-licensed individual to take the controls of any aircraft, and the airline that did so with these tragic results, is likely to be sued of of business, by families of the crash victims.

You sef wicked! You should have left him feeling enlightened naa... lol
The subject matter expert talk weak me... lol

FarahAideed:
Subject matter expert . .. he said 100 percent Nonsense .. Nigerians cant tell right from wrong oo. subject matter expert ? indon laugh taya ..Brother that guy's wrote nonsene
.

...BUT there are many small helicopters that do not have a provision for a black box, in fact, they are not required to have a black box (a.ka. CVR & FDR) to operate. As for fuel dumping... let's not even make that a topic. Simple and short... not all aircrafts have the option to jettison fuel mid air... It is not and has never been a requirement for flight in any country! Let's not be too petty.

ShinnBet:
And the same NCAA approved the liscence for a civil helicopter without a black box and fuel dump capacity when it operates within heavily populated areas?

Use brain .

As I said earlier, the fact that NCAA came out with an announcement on the aircraft status immediately after the crash when it is only AIB that is vested with any pronouncements should tell you those idiots in. NCAA do not know what they are doing

At any given time NCAA is supposed to know all aircrafts that are operating within our airspace.

You can't even get ATC clearance without NCAA notifying NAMA .

For NCAA to come out with such statement is an admission on their own part that they failed as regulators.

You might have it wrong here bro.
Questions to ask include:
1. Does the AC have the provision to jettison fuel? NO, so this fuels more questions into the direction of "how the fuel tanks were empty on impact" There was no fire, no explosion, no soot to show carbon burn, nothing like that. The pilot might have planned for a 2hrs + flight, but probably headwind and other factors we might not know stretched his flight time into the enduranceperiod (he might have been carried away too, or tried to see how he could stretch it to the Lagos Airport without raising a dust but couldn't meet up. Remember, global aviation regulations require you to land with at least 30mins of fuel left.

2. Does a BELL 206 have a blackbox installed? NO So this doesn't align with the talk of the blackbox was stolen in anyway.

3. Did the AC go into a spin? Obviously not! The Aircraft came straight down (from eyewitness account) and this could be seen from the wreck. A spinning AC crashing would have a larger disperse area of crash debris. Moreover, a loss of engine power doesn't have to equate to a fatal crash. As helicopter pilots, one training you must pass through before even getting your license is loss of engine power. Every heli pilot knows how important it is to get their Autorotaion right. Loss of engine power due to no fuel, he could have entered into an autorotation but probably didn't get it right and his Main rotor speed went in to the red. This might also fan the talks of "the pilot knew he had low fuel but tried to push it to its limit to land at the airport.

4. Was the pilot qualified to fly? Yes & No... Yes because he has the experience and license to fly that aircraft, No because his yearly medicals Expired on August 6. NCAA gave a directive to allow for medicals extension for pilots since we couldn't carry out our license renewal due to the covid-19 pandemic. This brings us to the question on who is right? Quorum who says they applied for an extension or NCAA who says they never got an application for extension.

Lastly, question 5. What of the recordings between the pilot and the ATC. This, in addition to the ATC monito history, is the only concrete way to understand what transpired in the last moments of the ill-fated Bell 206B flight.

It was a painful loss to the aviation community.

ShinnBet:
Don't mind these idiots.

The black box was removed from the crash site by the operators.

This is not the first time that has happened.

The pilot I suspect must have dumped his fuel in anticipation of a crash in an urban area. No pilot will fly with inadequate fuel and if it so happens to be so, would have made an emergency landing in an open area.

Thirdly, the AIB coming out with this statement of the pilot not having a valid liscence is following the earlier NCAA's very unprofessional utterance long before AIB came out with their prelimunary report, that the helicopter in question was not approved for flight operations by them.

Then how come an aircraft that was not approved for operations was being operated within Nigerian airspace by an unqualified Pilot?

These NCAA idiots don't know they are even indicting themselves for failing to do their job.

This is not the first time the useless NCAA has been in the eye of the storm. This same NCAA came out to tell us that the black box for Bellview Airliner that mysteriously crashed somewhere around Ibadan airspace in 2005 was stolen from their office in Lagos.

I have met and interacted with several of these NCAA badged agents and I can tell you 90% of them have no businesss working in aviation talk more of being regulators.

As for AIB, does ones do not have a single clue.

My opinion of the timeline of events is as follows:.

1. Pilot notices a major fault

2. Pilot contacts Ikeja ATC notifying them of an emergency

3. Pilot dumps fuel in anticipation of a forced landing in an urban area

4. Pilot must have lost engine power or rudder control or both

5. Chopper can't be controlled by pilot and goes into a spin (highlighting loss od rudder control)

6. Chopper crashes

7. Onlookers swarm the site

8. Police do nothing to secure the crash site.

9. Airline representatives visit site and ecuavate black box

10. AIB cones in and as clueless as they are come out with their useless conclusion

nony43:
They pressured him to retire so that they can bring the one that will do the good works during this election period.

The problem with people like you is that if this man was kept there till after the elections, you'll still say "He was kept there instead of retiring when he attained the retirement age, to perfect their rigging plan"

How can they pressure someone who attained retirement age (Age he had declared many many maaaannnnyyy years ago) to retire on his birthday.

You must be a movie director! your plot is second to none.

I'll ask you this... Even with all the billion billion DOLLARS, US still can't get enough ventilators. That should tell you something that "TO HELL WITH YOUR MONEY" This equipment is scarce, period. It's hardly available, countries are squabbling to get any ventilator they can lay their hands upon... It's not about Money.

bjnice:
What happened to the 25 Billions naira FG approved recently? Has it be utilized to the letter? Afterall, several billions of naira has roll in front corporate coys and private individuals. Are you aware that 100 ventilators @ $25,000 cost just 2.5 Millions dollars less than 1Billion. That is just one individual contribution towards the fight against Covid-19, so on what basis are will subjecting ourselves to a begging nation's when we are yet to account for the money contribute and approved which runs into billions of naira. This is highly unfortunate, the terrible part of it no one will be punished for this gross misconduct.

Funny thing is everyone is criticizing the govt for asking for Ventilators. We've finally bullied them into deleting the tweet.
We've forgotten:
1. These ventilators are highly scarce, every country is searching to increase their stock.
2. Elon Musk made the offer first, saying simply, if you want it, ask me... I see nothing wrong with Min. Of Fin asking officially.
3. Nigeria wasn't the only country asking to be included in the free ventilators distribution. You have Ukraine, you have Spain, you have Chile, you have European countries asking too.
I have attached a screenshot of the days tweet on Elon Musk's page and also a link to his tweet.

Funny thing is that the same Nigerians trashing the govt for asking, are themselves asking Elon Musk to give to them to distribute in Nigeria �
Nigeria isn't perfect, and we have serious FLAWS BUT! Not everything is CRITICISM.

Watch the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdsbltiTXjU

But the video shows a helicopter (precisely a Robinson R44) flying above them and not a plane.
If they wanted to prevent a plane from landing they would have infomed the aircraft a long time ago. Not when the aircraft is approaching to land. In fact it will be against aviation rules to prevent an aircraft from landing when it's on final approach without any concrete reason. This is not a ship that you can suspend at sea for days/weeks... The aircraft has limited fuel on board.

These same people will be fanning the embers of discord... And so profit from the chaos... Who suffers? You and I... Imagine the hatred and anger he must have whipped up by that singular post.
God save Nigeria from men like these!

Bolustical:
Anyone who still believes that this man is a man of God needs deliverance.

True men of God don't incite fears and insecurity over non-existent threats.

Virtually all Nigerian major tribes are represented on our passports as well as currencies but as usual, they must deceive their undiscerning congregations and Buhari haters.


Unless you don't have a passport or just want to be mischievous, you'd know Apostle Suliman intentionally picked the Fulanis to cause confusion.

Quick question: how many of us have actually checked and confirmed these prices?? Go to Ethiopian Air's website... I just think this statement of Chidoka is quite inciting. Do an average and you'll see how much of a difference we're even talking about.
Air fare are not eveb static to start with so this cannot even be taken as fact.

alwaysvik:
I'm not surprised this kind of statement is coming from a former Minister of the Federal Republic, afterall it is the worst of the worst minds that make in into power in Nigeria.

Conduct this experiment: Lagos - Toronto vs. Lagos to Calgary. Same country, but observe the huge price difference. This gentleman does not understand the simple explanation that it is cheaper to fly to a city that serves as a hub to other destinations. Flying into Atlanta or New York is cheaper than flying into say, Sacramento. The reverse is the same because the airline has to factor in the cost of landing somewhere else before leaving for the final destination. Like it or not, Enugu international airport is not a major hub at the moment, and there's no one to say that cannot change in a few years.

This ill-informed charlatans are bent on stoking the coals of ethnic tension to satisfy their desire to rule and further divide an already broken country. To his mentally blindfolded supporters, I offer my heartfelt condolences on the death of common sense.

Bless you bro.

It's exactly the same reason (on the local scene) that flights to and from places like Yenogoa, Ilorin, Sokoto, Asaba, Enugu etc are more expensive.
This has nothing to do with tribe! Don't let someone fan the embers of discord amongst us.

Things an airline put into consideration before fixing fees:
1. Viability of the route
2. Fuel (how much fuel is burnt and where to refill)
3. Airport amenities and parking, airport charges and airport facilities i.e IFR landing aids, operating hours, weather... And size of runway (the size of the runway will determine what aircraft can land and takeoff from there... Bigger planes are usually cheaper, cause they carry more people at a time... Imagine why a molue/luxury bus will usually be cheaper than a regular bus going to the same destination) .
4. All airplanes according to FAA/NCAA rules must have enough fuel to fly to its destination, hold for 30 mins (in case of an issue) and still have enough fuel to fly to an alternate airport in case it can't land there.

Lagos is a major hub in West Africa and you easily have access to most facilities you need as an air carrier. So you should expect flights from Lagos to be cheaper in most cases.
Abuja is the next major hub in Nigeria (especially as its the capital city) surrounding "international" airports (Kano & Kaduna) enjoy that benefits as planes can easily get access to facilities not available in these airports).

Enugu is not a high traffic point so you don't expect an aircraft to pickup only 10 people and fly to China.... They'll have to do some hopping (with stops in-between), probably pick up passengers from Enugu, take them to Lagos for an overlay and then load it up from Lagos and proceed to China.


1. For those who say it's the Igbos that travel most to China, your correct, but I'll like to ask... FROM WHERE DO THEY TRAVEL FROM MOST? Most of them have most of their businesses in the southwest and in the North and will most likely travel from where the business is stationed... Will I now as an igbo man, want to go to China and then I'll deck up and carry all my bags and then first travel to Enugu because I'm an Igbo man and I am patriotic... It makes no economic sense.

2. For those saying the north has the most international Airports... Please check your records again.

The tribal sentinents being whipped up are so unnecessary. I believe Mr. Chidoka who was a one time minister of Aviation should be in the best position to answer his question. These flights disparity didn't happen today... It has been dictated even before he was born by economics of scale.

Let's think thorough what we say, and post online... We might not have control over the ripple effect.

We are all here arguing... Without truly,listening to,the video... I don't hear anywhere "Buhari" was called.

They said they are going home for the new year and some people see it as a cue that the video is recent. Quick question... Is this the only new year the military have spent fighting bokoharam?

This video isn't recent, let's not get an erection, wasting our time analysing rubbish with sentimental eyes.

Yup.... That was me...
