and am assuming that you are a permanent resident now in Spain?

Nope,I'm in England. I boarded a van to Spain.Once you to your destination,they will fix the necessary papers you need.I don't even know what a visa looks like.

[quote author=®~^Sly^~® link=topic=65653.msg2127432#msg2127432 date=1207513967]You will never listen!!!!!!!!!! I guess y'all like the way those white peepz are getting fat with your cash!!
Truth is bitter. . . .(if u get hear make u listen) no one is forcing nobody here. . its just an experience
It is also a way of getting yourself Outta visa denying mess!

Thanks!. . . [/quote]Leave them,let white people be chopping their money.Our people will never learn,there is an old Russian saying,"zagnief ignatief putin"(people struggle in life when they fail to exploit other alternatives)

Why use only the visa route when you can try other routes? You can try the visa one first,if it doesn't work,then you should try this.A friend of mine just came into Spain via Thailand using the same route.

Sly and 4play, you guys are not serious ooo. Who do you want to land in jail? From Egypt to Burkina Faso, which kain backward map you dey construct so?

Look,we can start from Onitsha Head Bridge.That is the collection point.My guy works with the Army.From Onitsha,we took a bus to Gusau.From Gusau,we crossed the border into Niger. From there to Morocco.

I'm not saying people shouldn't use visas but there are other alternatives.
@Sly

Do you remember that guy that smuggles people in the carcass of whales? That guy was a really imaginative dude

Imani:
Nobody should listen to 4Play . Most of his comments are "tongue in cheek". When trouble starts he will avoid you like a plague.

Mr adviser 4play, this is a serious thread, please keep it so.

Madam,wetin be your problem? The whole purpose of the thread is for people to relate their experiences.I am telling people my own fantastic experience.

Sonye:
@ Sly
Abeg how una dey do am? SHow una people the way. Are you going by road

By shipping from Morocco or Senegal.Once you get to Spain,na road dem take carry me enter Britain

One HGV belonging to a company whose folks on the inside work with the smugglers.Very straight-forward journey.They came into our continent without permission so I go into their's without permission too.

It also helps to fortify yourself with powerful "Ogwu" or charms from back home.You will be virtually invisible to immigration.

dee02:
Brethren if you have not had the chance to apply for a visa or get refused then this thread is soooooo wrong for you
If you get caught, your case would be worse than the person they refused visa
humiliating repatriation is worse than denial
sleep ova it!

I can't be caught.My connections are too good.

How is this thread wrong for me? I'm telling people to stop wasting their time lining up for visas when they can simply avail themselves of numerous other quicker and more straight forward opportunities to get to Europe.

I came to Europe through people smugglers whose reliability I can vouch for.If you are refused a visa,don't lose hope.[quote author=®~^Sly^~® link=topic=65653.msg2127241#msg2127241 date=1207504460]Never been refused a visa!!!!!!!
Na very simple thing. . . one of my friend for naija dey ship cars go europe. .
na one corner inside the container i go dey till i nack europe. . .so simple. . no visa nothing [/quote]Leave these people,let them be talking of visas when smart people like us know faster ways.Who dey use visa for this day and age?

McCain isn't experienced when it comes to economics, i doubt u want that in times of a recession.

What is Hillary or Obama's experience in economics? McCain's faux pax was that he offered a rare moment of candor which is unheard of for most politicians.

You have a situation were, with the US facing a recession,Obama and Hillary are promising to raise both taxes and trade barriers-hardly the solutions to revive the economy.These were the same policy measures adopted during the Hoover era.

Rice prices rose more than 10 per cent on Friday to a fresh all-time high as African countries joined south-east Asian importers in the race to head off social unrest by securing supplies from the handful of exporters still selling the grain in the international market.The rise in prices – 50 per cent in two weeks – threatens upheaval and has resulted in riots and soldiers overseeing supplies in some emerging countries, where the grain is a staple food for about 3bn people.In the past weeks, traders and diplomats have warned that many West African countries, where rice is a staple, had yet to purchase the grain this year, leaving them subject to record prices now.

Toga McIntosh, Liberia’s minister of economic affairs, said earlier this week that rice was “always on the table” in his country. “We are very dependent on imports.”

Nigeria, Senegal and Ivory Coast are also among the world’s top 10 rice importers.

I wonder whether people in Nigeria have noticed any noticeable acceleration in food price inflation.The implications for stability in Nigeria will be dire if some of the prognosis regarding food price inflation come true.

This is what happens when you fail to harness your domestic agricultural potentials.The FT has an interesting piece referring to the "specter of Malthus".

With rising population and global demand due to China and India's rise,commodity prices,including food,will experience rapid inflation.Add the recent hare-brained policies empowering the bio-fuel industry and we face the scary prospects of an era of social unrest due to food prices rocketing.

Nossycheek is just having a laugh.

Heinze lost his place to Evra after he demanded for a transfer.It was only injury that postponed his departure.He would have been sold last season.

Fergie felt that since he had no future with the club,Evra might as well start ahead of Heinze.

This was the same thing that happened to Ruud in the 2005/2006 season.He demanded a transfer,because alternatives weren't available,Fergie kept on playing him until they had a row over his failure to track back when we lost to Liverpool in the FA Cup.Ordinarily,Fergie would have let that go but since Ruud had put in a transfer request,he decided to start playing Saha ahead of Ruud.That was the season Utd won the Carling Cup.

Reflect on men like Mao of china.

You mean Mao Zedong whose policies led to the death of 20m Chinese people (one of the 20th centuries worst mass murderers). Next you will tell us to reflect on Stalin.

China is where it is today because people like Deng Xiaoping repudiated Mao's destructive policies and moved towards a more liberal economy.

If Mao and Mugabe are your heroes,you have a really warped perspective of history.People like Abacha and IBB were geniuses compared to those 2.

The 'warship' is probably a small speedboat with mounted heavy machine guns.

@Doyin13

I know the article you are talking about.The sanctions per se is not responsible for Zimbabwe's inability to access the credit market.The argument was that the sanctions acted as a compelling and clear vote of no confidence on Zimbabwe which had repercussions with creditors.

That argument is flawed because if Zimbabwe promised good returns to creditors,many will still pile in.Western banks and bond markets won't face penalties if they allowed Zimbabwe to borrow.Nothing also stops Mugabe from tapping credit facilities from China.

There are many problems with Zimbabwe's economy that can't conceivably be attributed to the West-handing farmland over to people with no expertise,printing money,Govt corruption,e.t.c Do you know how incredibly costly Zimbabwe's military intervention in the DRC Congo was to the economy?

At the end,we shouldn't forget that the West continues to pour millions of dollars in aid into Zimbabwe without which the dire situation would have been even more catastrophic.

False hope for the real "male" gender!

Which kind "false hope"? Which man ever wants to get pregnant apart from people with serious psychological issues? You think we want to walking around with a protruded belly for close to 9months?Hell no!!

I came to England through my people smuggling links.Wetin concern me with visa ? Just find a reliable person you can pay money,you will find your way here without bothering about visa.

What about that ghost player called Louis Saha? I believe he still has 2 more weeks to recover.

I hope we play our strongest team against Boro.The game against Roma isn't as crucial anymore.

@Blatant

That there are legitimate issues to be resolved regarding land ownership is undeniable.However,it will be the height of gullibility to believe that this man who is approaching close to 3 decades in power is motivated merely by a desire to resolve this issue.

When he is handing out choice farms to his family and cronies,is that all part of the land redistribution programme? He has enough money stashed away in foreign bank accounts to have carried out the land reforms a long time ago.

What you have is a man seeking to exploit genuine grievances for selfish purposes to the detriment of his people.

@blue sky

I was stunned by Blatant's initial post.Anybody watching TV programmes on Zimbabwe over the past 7 years would know that many parts of Zimbabwe look like any modern Western city.If he had simply said he hadn't seen such before, fair enough,but to claim that the Western media didn't show this is ludicrous .

@Nossycheck

You need to pay people to find good husbands for these women. Only financial incentive will induce me to marry your sisters.Can I marry the two of them?

Maybe stopping his wife from embarking on her regular shopping trips(perhaps she is shopping for the nation) is causing crops to wither away and hyper-inflation.

Perhaps freezing assets belonging to ZANU-PF officials is the cause of all Zimbabwe's problems.No wonder OBJ was known for his junketing abroad.He must have been a wise leader who realised that Nigerians would starve if travel restrictions were placed on PDP members.

@Kobo

If you don't want a warship,you might as well disband the Navy. It would be akin to an AirForce without warplanes.

The preeminence of pacifist goals and ideals aren't incompatible with having an adequately equipped military.Actually,peace is often secured through guns-ask WWII era Westerners.

A lot of conflicts in Africa develop and fester because African countries lack adequate military resources to counter security threats.The Niger-Delta is a prime example.Not saying that the solution there must be a military one,but that the objective of stabilization in the Niger-Delta is best served if the Navy has adequate resources to counter the threats posed by the various militants/bandits.In this regard,a warship comes in handy.

Blatant:
Maybe you have been watching a different BBC from the one all of us in my office (I am the only black man here) have been watching

Unless this BBC you watch in your office is different from the BBC everyone watches,you have obviously goofed by claiming that the BBC never showed aesthetically pleasing videos of Zimbabwe.I have seen quite a lot of such videos on the BBC over the past 7 years.

I think you'll find, if you do a little more research (not necessarily finding your information from the same people or set of organisations) that the hunger and deprivation is not a result of his attempts to hold on to power but a result of sanctions and withdrawals of grants etc.

The irony of your statement must be lost on you.How can the sanctions(mainly consisting of a ban on ZANU-PF politicians
traveling to the West) have caused famine in Zimbabwe ?

The sanctions are not economic sanctions.As for your reference to the withdrawal of grants.How come after more than 2 decades of independence,Zimbabwe's economic prosperity could hinge on handouts from the West.If Mugabe was doing such a fantastic job,why would they be such a mendicant nation?

What is lost in many people's analysis of Zimbabwe is that the country has been in economic stagnation for close to 2 decades now,predating the land issue.The brouhaha over the land issue only served to speed up dramatically the decline that has been setting in for decades.

People forget that the vast majority of Mugabe's victims are black Zimbabweans.Witness the massacre in Matabeleland in which thousands of innocents died.If this had happened in Blatant's community in Nigeria,he will be spewing fire and brimstone at anyone who dares suggest that Yar'Adua is somewhat a victim of media propaganda. This is how evil thrives in Africa,because Africans play the ostrich when atrocities are meted out on people that have no tribal ties to us.

The TV station you saw the roads in,was it part of the "Eastern media"? Anybody who has been watching news stories about Zimbabwe over the years on TV must have seen many such beautiful places.I know that because I have seen them a lot while watching the BBC.

I find it ludicrous that you could have been watching all these stories on Zimbabwe on TV and never noticed till now.

However,almost all these places were like this during the "apartheid" regime of Ian Smith.Its like coming in 10 years time to tell us that it is because of the ANC that South Africa has beautiful structures.

How do the good roads you saw affect the main issue-that Mugabe's attempts to hold on to power has led to hunger and deprivation in what was one of Africa's most prosperous nations.

@Dayo

Gomez and Pandev are good but I don't think Van Der Vaart will want to remain in Germany.

What's with the row with De Michelis and his refusal to play in Hitzfeld's preferred position? Another sign that Ottmar is losing the dressing room

Podolski has been useless this season.To a lesser extent,Klose has been a bit underwhelming.

As for Getafe,they are a far stronger side than Bolton.Michael Laudrup has molded them into a very good side that are hard to beat at home.They have a very good home record.

So Nwando is denying that Debosky is actually Mr Nwando?

Well,I know say she dey joke.

I was at their wedding in 2006,the food was awful but it was a great occasion.

Almunia Spanish No1 ? Better than Valdes of Barca,Cassillas of Real,Reina of Liverpool and Palop of Sevilla? Almunia won't even make Spanish top 10 keepers.

@Jackal
Dayokanu is somewhere fasting and praying so that Man United crash out against Barcelona, but the Gods are not annswering his prayers because VIDA will be back and Barca will be dealt with in no small measures

Dayo is in hiding.His mighty Bayern could only draw 1-1 at home against Getafe in the UEFA Cup His dreams of a treble is evaporating.

Vida should be back for the 2nd leg against Barca if we qualify. There is a bit of deja vu here because Vida broke his collarbone last season on March the 31st only to come back barely fit for the 2nd leg at the San Siro.Rio was also injured then.Heinze and Brown in central defence made Kaka look very good and virtually handed him the Footballer of the Year Award.

Saw this story in the Times:

Owen Hargreaves’s strangely peripheral role at Manchester United is not down to poor form but disciplinary issues, The Times can reveal. In particular, Sir Alex Ferguson is known to have been angered by the player’s poor timekeeping, with Hargreaves turning up late for several team meetings.

We get Red Eye around 7 or 8am.I don't think its on today,haven't had time to watch it for over a week.TV censorship is a bit more lax in the UK.

@doyin

You forgot,"the spin stops here. . . . . .'because we are definitely looking out for you".

Please email us with some pithy comments.O'Reilly@FoxNews.com,O'Reilly@FoxNews.com. Name and town if you wish to opine.Please,no bloviating

@Kobo
Red Eye is good.I watch it before going out because it comes on early in the morning here.

He is always plugging his book,Lessons From The Land of Pork Scratchings ,which can only be bought on amazon.co.uk,not amazon.com but .co.uk. . . . .no,not .com but .co.uk!!!!

I don't watch Hannity & Colmes much because its too late in the night here.Brit Hume is another good one.Neil Cavuto is excellent but it comes on in daytime

Kobojunkie:
What do you mean??

That means you don't watch him on FoxNews,the O'Reilly Factor. He always rounds off his TV show by saying,"name and town. . . .".Very annoying

Survey: Drinking Bleach Prevents HIV, Mountain Dew Prevents Pregnancy


Florida legislators are encouraging a review of their "abstinence only" sex education programs after a recent survey completed by Florida teens returned some curious results.

According to some of the teens, drinking bleach will prevent an HIV infection, and a dose of Mountain Dew soda will stop pregnancy. Knowledge of condoms and other forms of sexual health appeared to be comparatively lacking.

State officials believe that the myths are spreading due to the lone focus on abstinence, rather than other proven methods which encourage sexual health. A new, more comprehensive Bill has been drawn, and has passed its first committee vote.
