Lycamobile costs between 9p to 12p per minute for calls (depending on your plan) and 19p for SMS to Nigeria. On its £15 plan, Lycamobile also has free 100 minutes to international numbers (but this doesn't include Nigeria) + 6gb data. Calls/texts within the UK are unlimited.
Tesco mobile costs 6p per minute for calls and 0p for SMS to Nigeria (using their international call card or international call app). You can decide to get a line with them if you so wish.

PS: Regardless of what network you're on, you can always download the Tesco app, costs 6p for calls to Nigeria. For example, you can use a Lycamobile line and use the Tesco calling app for your calls to Naija. Just download it from the app or play store and top up as you want. £2.52 will give you 42 mins talk time and unlimited SMS to Naija.
Your Lycamobile number will be what shows up when you call any Naija number.

Many thanks! Very helpful!

Can I get a police Character Certificate (PCC) in Abuja?
If yes how do I go about it
Thanks!!!

You need the following documents:
Valid international passport
Two passport-size photographs
Application fees: minimum of (N3,500-N8, 000) it varies.
Bottom line: You may have to negotiate to get the best price.

You can get your police clearance report using any of these 2 methods:

*Applying in person at the force CID, Police Criminal Registry, Alagbon, Lagos State (getting it from Nigeria).
*Applying from your state through Nigeria Police Force website ( http://www.npf.gov.ng/character/index.php )

You can apply in person at the Central Criminal Registry in Lagos, the address is as follows:

Central Criminal Registry Force C.I.D. Annex
Alagbon Close Ikoyi
Lagos, Nigeria.

If you applied at the criminal registry in Lagos, you can get it within a day, but it could take some days if you applied at the state command office.

Since you're in Abuja, apply online or go to:
Visit Zone 7 Police Command Headquarters
Wuse, Abuja
Nigeria.

[b]Note: If you are applying from your state command (Abuja in this case), you may have to wait between 5-7days because it will still be passed to the Criminal registry office in Lagos.

I just saw this on the internet, what does it mean for students who just left for their masters and those about to go...Guru’s let’s discuss

That's basically aimed at people from the EU at the moment to put checks on the free movement being enjoyed by EU citizens.

Received by UKVI 14th Sept
Decision made 28th Sept
collection mail 28th Sept

Documents Submitted for dependants;

Thank you @Dovies

PS: Decision is yet to be made on main applicant's and we submitted as a group. i'm still so surprise

Please i did my biometrics on 21st September, I paid for priority but yet to get a decision on my visa. Is the delay general? THis is already 8 days

I also did my biometric on the 19th of Sept and have not gotten any response till now. I paid for priority.

Looks like there are slight delays due to a last minute surge in applications.
A friend got his visa in 2 weeks (10 working days after submission) using priority: he had his biometrics on Sept 10 and got his decision and pick up email on Sept 24 which was last week Monday. He only slightly missed his latest date of arrival and missed a module already, so plan to be a Lil patient.

Please which Airline is the best and affordable to the UK?

Are you looking for best? Or affordable?

Best BA 6HRS

Affordable Royal Air Morocco, or try Aril.

Your best bet is to try sky scanner and Google flight

1. University of Greenwich.
2. University of West London.
3. London memorial university.
4. London south bank university.
5. Brunel University, London.

I had a similar issue, 2 working days after I called UKVI TLS portal was updated to decision made, I immediately left for TLS just as I was leaving with my passport, I received the pick up mail.
Your passport should be ready for collection by Monday or say Tuesday

Bless you mimilyrics

2. Your wedding invitation isn't required. Submit your wedding certificate instead.

What type of soap.

Where can one buy it

Where in UK is the soap going.

Thank you.

Did you check online?
What soap and cream is it? It just might be somewhere you haven't checked.

Right now, I've got no one doing the Naija-UK route.

Hello Mimi, Thank you for all your efforts at answering questions on this forum. I really appreciate.

I would love to ask a few question regarding the dependant visa,

1. For the wedding and family photos, should it be hard copies (like normal picture albums) and is 10-15 okay?

2. For the emails and watsaap chat, should it be just chat/email logs or should I print the chats/emails themselves. Also, assuming I have like watsapp chats for 9months, do I print screenshots of the 9 months chats and paste in a single ms document or just print the screenshot in different documents (this will make me have too many documents to submit)

3. Is it neccesary to submit utility bills showing we have been living together? As I and my husband stay in his official residence that came with his appointment, we don't pay bills, the company pays all the bills so the bills are in the companies name. If utility bills are necessary, can I submit the companies utility bills and explain this in my cover letter?

I am applying separately from my husband, he's already in UK
