Hello Just wise & co.

I would be travelling tomorrow night from MMA to arrive at Birmingham by Sunday morning.

As a first timer, how many hours before my departure time do I need to be at the MM Airport?
What do I do as soon as I get there?

About how many hours would it take me to clear with immigration at the POE (UK) so I can make provision for National Express Bus time-table.?

I'm considering booking a N.E coach from Birmingham to Milton Keynes. Does anyone know if I can pay on arrival or must I book earlier?

This are my questions. Any & Every related answer (or better alternatives) will be appreciated.

Thanks.

GeneralShepherd: So my.flight is by 6.50am in the morning and I'm awake by 12 am.

It's been an opportunity I looked forward to but at this time I just feel like not going. My girlfriend, my parents and my sister will be seeing me off tomorrow to the airport.

I will miss Nigeria,my job, my one true love,my friends.


Hope i don't get home sick. Anyway a man has to do what a man has to do

spikesC: Vectone has a fair use policy of 3000MB and you can not tether the data

FutureDon: In addition to justwise's suggestions, coming back for your graduation ceremony is also another cogent reason.

As for visiting Dubai, I would suggest that you tread gently. Following the submission of my MSc dissertation last year, I had wanted to visit another country (not UAE though), but the ''6 months'' rule was a barrier. I do not know for sure if the UAE takes this seriously. However, I thought that you shouldn't encounter any form of challenges on your re-entry into the UK in as much as you have always been a genuine student. Cheers bro..

justwise: Not really, i know some friends who did just that after their dissertation and still return back to the UK, some were questioned at the POE and they said they were coming back to pick their stuff....result, look for possibility of doing Phd etc and were allowed in.

justwise: Yes it's multiple entry but you timed your travel wrongly, it's always good to travel when you are still an active student using your studies as a tie but since they said it's not an issue then you will be fine, just printout the email exchange between you and them just in case you are stopped and asked why you decided to get your visa from Nigeria and not from the UK.

justwise: Please before you pay for the visa from Nigeria find out from them if visa by proxy is allowed since you be traveling from the UK and returning back to the UK. That may be an issue when you are trying to re-enter the UK.

justwise: Why are you proceeding it from Nigeria while you are in the UK?

spikesC: A fact about me:

First student to register in the University of Greenwich, Medway campus for the 2014 session with issue no 01

frankyj: Guess d videos are split per course. U can upload it to wetransfer.com then lets have d link here. Thank you

frankyj: Wats d size of d videos?

frankyj: Pls could you forward the link to me on frankchidfc@yahoo.com or you could drop it here. Thanks

blank: You are right. The lecture centers are a bit pricey. I guess will just study on my own. Don't have any video yet. Still looking around.

davidif: Sorry I made a mistake in my earlier post that is why it looks like I contradicted myself.

Also, I don't see how derivatives trading is going to help Chevron mitigate risk after all they are not buyers of the product, they produce and sell.
they can't fix the price at which they sell there product, it is governed by the free market.

davidif: What?? NNPC has what money?? Guy, we are not talking of a couple of hundred millions here, we are talking of billions. Projects like this are very capital intensive. This is not a road construction project we are dealing with here. You can't just "outsource" the project like that bro.

davidif: First of all, risk is anything that jeopardizes the success of a project or of achieving a goal. It can come from political instability, natural disasters, attacks from militants and other forms man made attacks, uncertainty in financial markets, project failure, accidents, credit risks, lawsuits etc
As you can see from the definition, risk is much more all encompassing than not finding oil where they explore. So saying that chevron bears no risk simply means that you don't have the full knowledge of what risk is.
That's why I said it was a bad business practice for an investor who bears a lot of risk to just come in and just demand a share.

Also, Chevron is a private company and I expect it to do what is in its interest which is to maximize its shareholder value. Unlike the so called NNPC.

atlwireles: Are you really serious?

735i: Your guesses are imaginary. You are not in a position to educate me on risk and reward.
When two individual legal entities go into a Joint Venture the party with the higher stake has more say in the investment laws which is about the most significant aspect of the operations.
In this case; the investment law will decide;
The expertise contribution from Chevron (most of which will be made up of expatriates who will be paid in hundreds of thousands of dollars.)
Source of Funding (Chevron will most likely borrow from the big American banks and pay interest back to the financiers (America))
Reinvestment of revenue from the operations….Chevron will have a higher say on what happens with the revenue from Operations…(This is why Shell can get away with massive environmental pollution because the investment laws it signed off with Nigeria in the '60's allows it to)
The list is endless!!! Chevron must have done its research and found that the project will be viable so there's no risk of dry wells.
It's sad that you would say NNPC does not represent Nigeria in this case.
Would you rather Chevron be allowed to come into Nigeria, tap your resources, and pay you a pittance for something that is naturally yours?
Or you believe Chevron will act in the best interest of Nigeria if left to operate this project alone?
Go and take a cold shower….something is wrong!!!

davidif: I am guessing that based on your comments that you don't have a fundamental knowledge of how businesses operate. There is something called risk and reward. what that means is that If you are going to bear the risk of something then the reward have to be able to compensate for it.

For example, exploration and production could be considered risks because you could explore and not find anything thereby losing all your money. So you do a risk reward analysis to find out if the potential reward you could get from that oil field is going to be big enough to offset your cost and be enough for you to make a lot of money. In other words, are the benefits or profits going to be worth it.

NNPC (the company that claims to represent Nigerians) doesn't really bear any risk that I know of they just show up when you find oil or any natural resources and demand a share. Yet this same companies still have to pay taxes on the money they make (or so i think). What a horrible practice.
At times I feel bad for foreign investors who come to do business in Nigeria because of what they have to go through. I mean the cost of doing business is so bad then you have all the other unnecessary wahala that you have to go through. Chei!!! No wonder a lot of investors find it really risky to invest in Nigeria and even Africa as a whole.
