My masters, please, I have a quick question.

I am helping out a relative who is planning to travel out on vacation with his dad to fill out a visa application. This young man is a private school teacher with less than 100k in his account, but his dad's bank account is ok. His dad doesn't need a visa because he has a valid travel permit.

As per finance, is it appropriate to include only the sponsor's (his dad's) account statement?

What about back home in Nigeria

Ghaneeyah4me:
Good morning House, I got the legal guardianship letter for my sister on the 5th of this month and I intend applying for her next week.

Please house, Kindly share with me information or additional documents I need to make sure to include to avoid NSF mail.

Thank you

Can you share how the guardianship letter looks like?

I sent you email

I am pretty sure that if you give this man a job and a free plane ticket to relocate back home to Nigeria, he will turn it down.

Please tell him that it is never too late; let him come back home.

All

Good day, house! My sister-in-law made a mistake on her application, and she sent a webform message on August 17 to IRCC Nairobi and Lagos to withdraw the application, but there has been no response yet from IRCC.

Application submitted on July 26
Biometrics done on August 15.

Is it proper for her to submit a new application now, or should she wait for IRCC to withdraw the application or close her account before she submits a new application?

Phemos:


Claiming she didn't remember seeing any question relating to visa refusal will be seen as falacious and an act of insincerity by the VO.
That was what I did in my first application and I was denied even after sending webform to them but still they ignored me then.
But who knows, her case might be different. Let her not stop believing anyways.

That’s why she wants to withdraw it now.

Phemos:

What was the mistake she made?

She didn’t declare her UK and US visa refusals. She claimed she didn’t remember seeing any questions relating to visa refusals.

As a result of this, I asked her to withdraw the application and then reapply.

tonero230:


Ok. Thanks. I was denied US visa 2014 and Canadian visa 2015. But where they asked about being denied a permit or visa previously,I ticked yes but only state that I was denied Canadian visa 2015. Is this a problem and how do I email them for correction.

Yes, it might pose a problem if they find out, and I don't think webform can solve this issue.

In the past, those in similar situations like yours were all denied, despite the fact that they sent webform messages to IRCC to correct their mistakes.

This is a misrepresentation, and you can't correct it through a webform message.

My sister-in-law is currently in the same situation. She sent them a webform message on August 17 saying that she made a mistake on her visa application and that she would like to withdraw it.

She's still waiting for their response.

This is nothing but a scam.

Our people are using the unemployment situation in the country to defraud innocent individuals.

Atiku should his resources for next election, he might be able to shake the table during the next presidential election if things go well for him.

marvelos1:
you just spoke my mind
dont go with nigerian passport what pipo are suffering in dubai today is a situations that bad nigerians put all of us into ..

You are right

ekitimanalways:

Did you apply online by yourself and book an appointment? The Nigeria Immigration Service still insists a Nigerian passport must have six months validity before renewal.

The officer did that for me

I discovered today that one doesn’t have to wait until six months before the expiration date before starting the renewal process.

My passport will expire in October 2024. I went to the passport office (Ikeja) today to make an inquiry. I was told that I could start immediately.

As a matter of fact, I made payment, and I was scheduled for the first week in September for biometrics and photo capturing.

emenadike:
Please I am in the suitation how did you send your passport after the deadline

You need to contact IRCC through the webform, and explain what your situation. A new letter will be issued to you.

Also, you can email IRCC office In Nairobi because Canada visitor’s visa for Nigerian applicants are treated In Nairobi.

Hello Nlanders,

I have a brother who has Nigeria passport and Mali passport and he wants to travel to Kuwait.

The question now is, which one has higher chances in securing Kuwait visa faster?

For me, I will use the Malian passport because our people have spoiled Nigerian image and the outsiders are using it against us.

These are leaders of tomorrow. Nigerian youths will sell Nigeria if they are given opportunity to rule nigeria for 30 days.

They are more corrupt than these old and heartless politicians that are ruling us at present.

You’re absolutely right. It’s open for the lesbian community alone.

hunee:
Lol. This guy can be sponsored by his dad. Yes

Thanks for your response. I don't want to mislead him. Please, can you explain how to deal with this type of situation?
His bank account is not good. As a matter of fact, he said he has less than 20k in his account, but his dad's account is good. Is it proper for his dad to transfer the money to his account, or is his dad's bank statement enough?

What documents will he need in this type of situation?

lawyer:
Firstly i don tire for una for Nairaland. Since my last post on (Tips on how to register a Property in Lagos), You guys have bombarded my e-mail box with series of questions regarding the same thing and i don't even know what to do again to help you. Even if someone needs to help you obtain the C/O or the Governor's consent, you must finally get these things right once and for all because from now on, i would be ignoring emails that ask me these same questions.


To register a C/O sharp sharp and to avoid so many stories, this is just the basics you should know and the fees to be paid.

[b]1. Get your survey plan

2. Get the land information from the surveyor general's office or ask your lawyer to get it for you. It costs just N7,000 Only (No cheating) any body that tells you it is more than that is scamming you big time.

3. Get your structural Drawing in place i.e what structure you intend to put on the land or architectural design

4. 2 Passport photographs

5. Tax reciept or Tax clearance certificate (This is very very important now and without this, no C/O would be granted) Now if you don't have it, but you want to proceed with your C/O registeration immediately, you must pay N60,000 to the land registry to cover the Tax clearance certificate. No more, no less.

6. Purchase reciept from the previous owners or family that sold it to you better still known to you as the "omo ni ile boys" for all of you scrambling for family property beyond lekki phase 2 to Epe

7. Very important, "BROWN ENVELOPE" to follow up the C/O at the land registry, N50,000 (Na Naija we de! Shine your eye, no dulling!) unless your C/O will come out after Yaradua's second term in office , lol


8. Legal Fees negotiable with the lawyer depending on if he likes your guts or your attitude, lol [/b]


You can see how simple this is and does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Please no more emails on these simple questions except you want me to assist you to get it done ASAP because your a nairalander.

Now to the Governor's consent



Now lets break it down simply (Abeg carry your calculator as you de read am o! I can't shout anymore):

Tip 1: Every area in lagos state has its own separate fees to pay for the governor's consent. I will illustrate with 5 real examples.

a. If you have a property in AKOWONJO / SHASHA Local Government, it is N1,500 per m2 (Square meter)

b. If you have a property in LEKKI PHASE 2, it is N4,500 per m2 (Square meter)

C. If you have a property in GBAGADA/ANTHONY, it is N6,000 per m2 (Square meter)

d. If you have a property in ILUPEJU RESIDENTIAL, it is N10,000 per m2 (Square meter)

e. If you have a property in PARK VIEW/OSBORNE 1, it is N40,000 per m2 (Square meter)

So if you bought the land for N1,000,000 (One Million Naira), and you know from the survey plan that your land is probably for example 160m2 by 56 m2, you have to calculate your area multiplied by the square meters.

E.G if we use AKOWONJO / ISHERI which is N1,500 per m2 (Square meter), the calculation will go like this:

N1,500 X 160 M2 = N240,000.

This N240,000 is the assessment Price.


Secondly, we have what is being called CAPITAL GAIN TAX which is 2% of the Assessment Price.

That is 2% of N240,000 =N4,800


Thirdly we have what is being called STAMP DUTY which is also 2% of the Assessment Price

That is 2% of N240,000 =N4,800


Fourthly we have what is being called REGISTRATION FEES which is now 3% of the Assessment Price

That is 3% of N240,000 =N7,200

Fifthly we have what is being called CONSENT FEES which is 8% of the Assessment Price

That is 8% of N240,000 =N19,200


The total price you would pay for the governor's consent for just AKOWONJO/SHASHA local government area for a property or land bought is

N240,000 + N19,200 +N4,800 +N4,800 + N7,200 = N276,000.

So if your property is in Ajah, Lekki, ikeja, Isolo etc, the calculation is basically the same with the exception of the rate per square meters that is different i.e either N10,000 per m2 or N6,500 per m2, depending on the area.


Generally Service charge i.e legal fees for procuring the Governor's consent within 40 days tops should not exceed between N80,000-N120,000 depending on your negotiation skills because you have to conceed that this is Nigeria we are talking about and if "brown envelopes" and "recharge cards" doesnt circulate around to the key people to assess it on time, it would take probably 6months-2years to get it done.

I have read so many emails complaining that N80,000 to N100,000 is too much to do the governor's consent and all i do is refer them to other lawyers or firms such as Festus keyamo, Gani Fawenhimi or Ajumogobia and Okeke. I really can't picture any lawyer (Hungry or not or charge and bail or whatever) doing this for less than N150,000 because of the stress and madness of the land registry and the constant transportation and phone calls to monitor the different stages of registeration and filings. The land registry knows that for you to buy a house and pay over N1Million to buy a piece of land, you can be bluffed around and made to cough out more than expected and with the new laws that intend to revoke C/O's parading around, the Land registry knows that land owners are extremely panicky and pay anything to make sure they get a governors consent no matter the cost.

Other requirements that must be filed after calculating the governors consent include:

1. Dated Letter of application with address and telephone number usually done by a lawyer

2. Completed Form 1c usually done by a lawyer on behalf of the owner of the land

3.Certified true copy of the Grantors title document (The grantor's title document is the C/O or other relevant title of the land or property given to the new owner of the land by the former owner)

4. Grantee's Tax clearance certificate/ Development levy (This is simple enough, Pay your taxes or no Governors consent)

5. 4 copies of the Deed of Assignment (That is the deed of assignment given to you and drafted by the former owner of the property or land to you)

6. Survey plans

7.Evidence of payment of for charting, endorsement and form 1c =N10,500* (Usually done by lawyers on behalf of the owner of the property)

8.Evidence of payment of ground rent /Land use charge

9. Building Plan and photography of the property

For further inquiries to know the area where your land or property falls under and to get the exact pricing of it, call me on 07036681104 and we will take it up from there. This is as easy as it gets and i doubt if the Land registry could be this patient with you to explain this.


Cheers and please register your property to avoid future wahala. No more excuses that you don't know the process!

Now you know!!





 

Do you know the price of C of O and Governor's Consent In Lagos State?

This guy is 32 years old, and he studied mechanical engineering in school, but he is currently doing a 15-month graduate trainee program with a company here in Lagos. He’s only earning 25k as transport allowance. At the end of the program, all the trainees are employed by the company.

His uncle who lives in UK wants to invite him and his dad to visit him. His dad has good job and money to cover the trip for both of them.

He wants to know if it’s ok for his dad to sponsor such a trip.

During the last Olympics, this same mannerless lady harassed Nigerian players. She even asked them to go back to their third-world country, but now she feels like representing Nigeria because the Australian team doesn’t want her anymore due to her behavior.

She walked away from the Australian national team during the last Olympics, and she did that to the US team she was playing for as a professional basketball player too.

Since she was born in the UK, let her go play for them. We don't need a bipolar and mannerless person like her. We don't need her in the midst of our girls.

Let her continue to make money through her only fan platform.

jonapeters:
Uba is a unifier

You meant a crooked businessman who is feeding on business associates and public money.

There’s nothing you will not see in a shithole country.

Nigerians and there too know. The op specifically said no Tecno or infinix for reasons best known to him, therefore it is not appropriate to be recommending same tecno and infinix to him.

DeLaRue:
A 'Social Work' degree from Nigeria will not get you a job in that field abroad.

Please ignore those advising you it will be lucrative in Tokyo, Australia, and Peru etc

It is not a good thing to say, but if I was going to University in 2023, I will not choose 'political science' or 'social work.'

You need to study a subject that will give you a good chance of securing a job when you graduate.

If I was in your shoes, I would rather spend my next few years like this:

1. Learn furniture making at a good company for 2 years or however long it takes to become competent.

2. As that is going on, I will register with Open University and study a course. If I absolutely want political science, then I will study it there.

You will graduate with a degree at the same time as your mates who attend a regular university, but you will already be making money 2 - 3 years before them.

Good point, but our youths don’t think this way.

Meritjoshua:
I applied for political science in unilorin during 2022 Utme but i was transferred to social work early this month.(it was due to their slow calendar and the strike)
i felt bad because social work sound lesser than political science. so my question is which one is better between the two?

 
Everyone wants to go to school, but most of them don’t look at the job market before deciding what course to study in college.

You can study any course if you know someone who will help you land a job after graduation, but if not, you need to stay away from courses like public administration, library science, political science, etc.

Social work is a good profession abroad. Political science is not good in Nigeria because most political science graduates are in private schools teaching subjects like government while making less than 30k a month.

Political science and public administration graduates are the majority in the unemployment market today in Nigeria.
