I give thanks to Almighty Allah, I’ll also like to thank everyone on this thread, I have gotten so much informations here.

Special thanks to @Justwise for opening this thread.

Thanks to @duchess90 @dduchess90 for the good work and also replying my personal message regarding work reference.

Thank you all for your contributions, I do get answers to the questions i had in mind without asking just by following the thread.

May God bless you all abundantly.

If you're new here, please read from the first page, if you do this, you’ll get answers to all your questions even before you ask.
Follow the thread everyday if you can.
I never liked reading, but for the sake of JAPA, I developed reading habit by following this thread. This thread became part of my daily routine.
I didn’t know anything about Uk study visa before I started following this thread. Alhamdulilah, by following this thread daily, I now know a lot about it. You can do everything yourself from A-Z. It’s simple but stressful. Yes, NO PAIN, NO GAIN.
There is so much to learn here.
It paid off Walahi.

Kindly note that it’s a long process, I’ll advise you take one step at a time and please don’t forget to prepare ahead of the next step, get all documents/answers ready before you get to the next stage. With this, you’re good to go.

For your winter jackets, kindly call this number: +2347067915309 or 08124387531, I got mine from him in yaba. I bought at #3,000 each as against the outrageous amount others kept calling before locating his shop. I’m doing this because the man called to confirm if we’ve gotten home. Please patronize him, he’s a nice man.
Thanks

You’re next in line.

Ma’a Salam!


Regards

Great! Congratulations to you

Good day house...

Please what are the advantages of resuming on time,cos omo flight ticket want choke me..

850k for sep 8..

School resumes 19th sep...

Pls kindly advice me,

Shud I get d sep or wait till 20 wen it's probably cheaper..

ocpaschal:
Pls apart from Masters in Social work, what other related health and social community (humanitarian) courses can a political science degree holder study in UK?

I'm also interested in the answer to this.

pushup:
Hello.
Pls, if someone books for priority visa, will the person get a closer date? Or will have to wait just as the regular service is?
I mean, is it same appointments available for everybody to choose from? Thanks

Priority visa doesn't automatically give you a closer date. You have to search for date for biometrics just like regular service. The only difference is that with Priority visa, you're sure of getting a much faster decision on your application after biometrics - about 5 working days, unlike regular service that takes weeks for them to make a decision on your application.

Sheggy13:

Or you mean 211k..was thinking it shouldn't be that high.

A typo. I meant 211k.

Pls how soon does decision gets transfer to DMC. Mine happened immediately I left TLS... is it normal?

Congrats to all.

We are still waiting for the nsf mail reply .
God help us o

211k.

Loverquin:
Good Afternoon house,

Please I have some questions bothering me

1) Is Ethiopian Airlines Safe to travel with?

2) I saw a flight from Lagos - Addis Ababa - Frankfurt - Birmingham. Pls do I need a transit visa

3) Can I pay directly to the Airline with my debit card?

Also please if there is anyone here who can suggest cheaper Airlines for a family of 4, will appreciate. Thanks

I was at ethiopian airline office today, after booking for for a flight that will transit instanbul and addis ababa... I was advised to cancel and book for the one that will be transiting only Addis Ababa.

Ajiboyehify:


Please what about the one transiting from Ethiopia to Instanbul then to Heathrow??

I have been asking this question since

Please visit the Ethiopian office to verify before making payment. You will discover that the last flight from Instabul to Heathrow is Turkish Airline. I was told at their office today not to book any one involving Turkish as they dont work together for now. Book the one that all change flight are Ethiopian Airways.

So as not to instill fear.. what was the reason? Is it to reduce stopovers and in the end reduce total travel duration so as not end up be extremely tired or something else

giselle237:

The reason was that the third trip from instabul to Heathrow is Turkish Airline. And the Ethiopian Airline staff told me to avoid any trip with third party Airline on the site.

NaughtyBrainiac:
[b]It
I also love the update you gave on winter jackets, that 3k ehn
Giselle237 too get bad mouth , baba talk say na rubbish winter jackets we dey buy for Nigeria. I know he knows what he's saying but one will be tempted to buy a winter jacket because of that unbelievably low price of 3k

My apologies.
Winter jacket tht you will be ashamed to use after you come down from your aircraft at Heathrow or wherever you land is that one jacket?.. worse still in this summer you will now bring the dead jackets .. for why na?
If you say sweater for the cold on aircraft fine but not winter jacket kpere. Everywhere is hot. Immediately the weather changes, then your jackets can mildly make sense.
If you see for 3k no wahaleux too.. not my Nigerian travellers that go and charter 3, 4 or 5 at ridiculous prices that they throw away immediately they land.. the seller will be bringing more sef.. they’ll charter all the charterables including hand gloves, head warmers, scarf, this and that.. space for food. Hian.
The above does not apply to the cold months.. you can buy 1 of each item when coming then…

No offence to any of the posters intended pls.
