Pls, I need your advice on what documents to present to convince the officer when reapplying.......

You can use your wife (if married) as a sponsor, get her to open a fixed deposit account and close it before expiration (if you don't have enough time), then indicate in your SOP she funded with her fixed account

Chapecoense:
Hey congrats. Did you use the new IRCC portal?

I used an agent and she didn't disclose the portal she used. She only used my email to set it up and I only get update notifications

Marcgrace:
Thanks a lot!
Did you pay for the first year tuition fees?
And had 16m naira for your available funds?

Yes, I paid the full tuition for the year

Jayody:
Congratulations. Can you give us a timeline on how your application was treated?

I submitted my application on the 3rd of June, the next update was on June 27th asking me to submit my passport. The whole thing was just about 3 weeks

Marcgrace:
Hello @ adezeih
Congrats!
You did an upfront medical exam?

I used the medical I did last December for my previous application

Seyola16:
Congratulations! Do you mind to kindly give a brief of what you did differently?

I first got the note on the previous denial. Chief on the reason wa my bank statement not being clear, after compressing it so much. I only used the mybankstatement link this time around
I used an agent. We used GCI certificate and I added more fund to my local account, I increased it to 16m

Alhamdulillah!!!

Grateful to everyone here that has been dropping knowledge and experience based hints here.
Got my Visa today after 3 different tries ( one visiting and two studies).
I submitted my documents on June 3rd and got a request to submit passport on June 27. I submitted my passport on July 4 and got a message to pick it on July 8. Everything happened within a month

Hi everyone,
Please how do I get to Lagos biometric location using public transport. Please it’s urgent.

The bus stop is Ikate (Round About). I will also suggest you do all necessary photocopies and printings before coming. You may end up paying 1k to 2k for printing per page

Rickywowoz:
Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good and goodluck to everyone applying for study permit.

Please anyone coming to Calgary or Alberta soon should dm me

I'm on the verge of that, I've tried reaching you via mail

I applied through them too. They also ignored my request for my login details when I was given admission. Just log in to the school student portal and use your email address (the one you registered with) and click on forgot password, a new password will be sent to your email. By the was, which school is it?

askarachi:
Please anyone familiar with ApplyBoard here I need help

An agent helped me to get admission via ApplyBoard but started asking for ridiculous money for visa application so I want to do it myself. They’re now refusing to release the updated LOA the school sent to ApplyBoard. Is anyone familiar with a way I can get the letter or the code for the letter myself?

I’ve mailed the school and they assured me they’ve sent it

You are correct with your position, my grand-uncle was the immediate past Olukoyi, and he joined his ancestors in 1983 having spent 39 years on the throne and possessing a beaded crown.
It is not correct to come without fact and grandstand to be an authority in an history one knows nothing about.
The bowing of the Olukoyi could only be explained on a personal ground. The Olukoyi I know is an extremely humble personality who would always want to prostrate to greet my late father which would compel my father to lie down flat to greet him.
One of his sons is about my age, meaning he's old enough to be my father, but he would greet me with so much enthusiasm and that is how he does with virtually everyone. So I was not so surprised when I saw him bowing to welcome an Aare who is not every a traditional chief of Oyo, but an appointee of the Alaafin

basybasy:
This is nonsense. Who is Are Onankakanfo of Oyo to Onikoyi. The pic shows disrespect from Ghani, but I don't blame him, I blame the Onikoyi who is bending for just a honorary chief of Oyo. He is not even a direct Oyo traditional chief. Which government recognizes the tittle of Are? Is he on any statutory govt payroll? I beg, I don't have time for this rubbish.

I wonder the history you are quoting, even themajority of the Ikoyis that emerge from main one were never headed by a Baale.

ajailer:
If we should look back to history, Ikoyi at the beginning was a hamlet and the highest man was a Baale. I guess enlightenment and the need to be relevant was why the title of Baale was upgraded to an Oba, but Aare ona kakanfo has always been what it has been power wise from the beginning. I believe the title of Oba now being given to the Onikoyi is just a glorified Baale. Another thing to look at is the sitting arrangement in the picture, it shows that the Onikoyi is a subject of the Aare ona kakanfo.

It's my opinion sha.

The position of Onikoyi as an Esho (Calvary commander) is not borne out of being submissive to the Alafin but as an allegiance to the Oduduwa linage and the defense of his father's heritage as a direct descendant of Oduduwa. The Aare does not summon Onikoyi, Timi, Agba Akin, Olofa and the likes, these are warriors to be directly summoned by the Alaafin and they respond in defense of their father's honour.
Onikoyi, Timi and others possess the beaded crown as a sign of being direct descendant of Oduduwa with full rights of statehood in their domains and Ikoyi was never a military outpost. It was founded as a kingdom.
The present day Ikoyi in Lagos is one of the expansions of the Ikoyi Osun.
In historical heirachy, the Olukoyi as well as other kings with beaded crown are not subservient to the Aare who is only a representative of the Alaafin at the war front.
