It has become a norm that every Nigerian youth given a visa to any of the big countries abroad comes to nairaland to praise God some peeps even go to the extent of throwing a party for dere friends all in the name of visa.
I got admission into a school in London and luckily for me I have had a dom account for long with a lil above 3000 pounds exchanged in Nov 2008 @ N190/pound, I got ds money from my Dad, when he discharge me after graduation to go sort mysef out and since then no work so I decided to pursue my career abroad and added to d ₤3k to make it ₤4.5k which is half of my tuition to get my unconditional offer. My thinking was dat its goin to be easy to sort mysef out in the UK with d partym job to balance my tuition of ₤4.5k and accommodation. I borrowed money from my friends,inlaws,neibors,brodas,sistas etc to use for my mtce in my account hpin to return it to dem wen issued a visa,den I started gtin very very discouraging news of how hard it is to cope abroad wt d partym job nd school dat I might nt b able to finish d course if m nt careful,dt means my ₤4.5k wl go jst lyk dat.
As God wl have its way,I got a job from a company I ad an interview wt some mnths ago nd av resume since last wk mon,d pay is 150k/mnth which is very sufficient for me as I do nt need to transport mysef to work and wl have lots of savings to invest in my dream project(kp dt to mysef) and I startd praying dt d embasy refuse me a visa which dey did.want to thank God for answering my prayers.

Is the visa like a cheque? or can one convert it to money after getting it?

Well, I can say that your post sound more like someone who is trying to console himself or herself. And I really sympathize with you.  Of course, going abroad doesnt guarantee success but also it does not mean that those people in UK or other places are not doing well. So everything depends on your motive as regard to your future plans.
But I like your courage to be satisfied with your condition at the present.
Good luck in your future plans.

Wtf?

Poster, it is very boring to read the above post of yours. Please write in English language so that most people can understand what you are talking about.

^^ Lmao!

Spikedcylinder,

Thank you very much for translating the post to English language.

Lol OP should go to Anointing service and give this post as a 'testimony'

I wonder what the pastor and fellow congregation will make of this testimony HAHA

Thanks to spikedcylinder i was also able to deduce that the OP was NOT trying to console himself, but rather he was grateful he'd been rescued from a cliffhanger situation i.e. if he had been given the visa, he would have found it irresistible to abort his travel plans and would have convinced himself to abandon his new job, gambling his "known" life for the "unknown" in the UK.


Congratulations and good on you, you made the right choice for now, you can still always travel to the UK at your leisure, even people that get refused visas 10 times or more still goes on to get it eventually. So keep your chin up.

I'm happy for thread starter.

Console urself very well.

sory to dose that dnt undestand d yoruba part of my post,i be naija man.d refusal is a gud consolation for me nd i am glad it went dt way

well done poster man we need more posts like this on here
na true talk you say tbh your funds werent going to be enough to cope in uk and you were aware of it, thats important
all the best in your job am sure in future, you will still go abroad to do your course, thats obviously if you want to though

Thank God for you oooo

Anyways, travelling does not mean
success and stayin at home does not
mean success likewise

Anyways, good luck in ur
future endeavours

SHALOM

You are very lucky.
