TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Baba1010: 11:33pm On Mar 13, 2023
Hi Guys, just in a bit of a panic here. I have just bought a return KLM ticket for my parents to UK only to discover they require a transit visa. Alongside their UK visit visa, they have valid Schengen visas but not a Transit Visa, Can someone kindly confirm they are able to use the Schengen? Do we still need to apply for an Air transit visa?

Many thanks in advance
Christianity EtcRe: Habits, Sins And the Amazing Grace of GOD. by Baba1010: 11:10pm On Jan 03, 2021
Toks2008:
About two weeks ago, I saw a man preaching in public and he was practically pointing at smokers telling them that they will end up in hell if they don't quit smoking and I was so dumbfounded and I began to wonder...who gave him the right to judge people and condemn them because they smoke? and come to think of it, when does the habit of smoking translate to an act of sin?

It is very disheartening that the devil has used heretic teachings by ''Pastors'' who are meant to lead people to heaven to instead send many to hell and even as I write this, many souls are trooping to HELL in their millions, not because of any other reason but because of the harsh false teachings of many Preachers who have given their own definition of sins rather than teach the real truth from the scriptures, they have defined an act that seems UNPLEASANT to them as a sin even when the bible at no point made clear reference to such acts as sins.

One of such heretic teaching is equating bad habits to sin...In life, habits are neither good nor bad, but where a habit moves toward, by a specific impulse or desire is where it begins to be defined as a virtue or a vice.

Do you know that many pastors preach that anyone who drinks alcohol, smokes(Weed, Cigarette, shisha....), gambles, masturbates, uses pieces of jewelry, indulge in polygamy, does cosmetic surgery of any type, uses makeup, has body art, piercings and on and on WILL NEVER MAKE HEAVEN?
Matters of the heart, as with all spiritual things. What leads on you to masturbation? You don't just flip the switch and say I want to masturbate, the actual act is physical manifestation of what had already been concluded in your heart. So the lust already set in, you've pondered on the lust and you've agreed the only way to achieve this is via masturbation. Now that's sin, mate; not to even talk about the sin against your body. Saying this isn't sin is itself heretic.

We all need to rely on the holy spirit for strength to overcome this habits.

MamaTheMama:
After she must have passed the minimum requirement for IELTS for NMC UK, she will sit for CBT exam
After passing CBT, she will pay online at NMC UK website for registration where she will download some documents to be filled and sent to NMC UK. As well as upload some documents
After NMC has received all documents and she has uploade the ones to be, she will then submit online.
She will wait to get a Decision Letter from NMC UK, btw 30-60days. After Decision letter, she will get her COS from her employer and she can also do her medical at Ikeja or Abuja. Then is to apply for her work visa
After visa, get to the UK, prepare and do OSCE exam
Pass OSCE and become a UK RN.
Many thanks for this reply @MamaTheMama Really appreciate this.

Sis has gotten her IELTS UKVI result with an overall score of 7.0. The conditional offer of employment she got states she needs overall score of 7.0. However, she has 6.0 in writing. Can anyone advise if this is acceptable with NMC? Going by what they have on their website they specified at least 6.5 in writing.

Hi guys,

Kudos to a good job here I'm in for some advice. My sis has just got a conditional offer from an NHS trust after an interview. I want to understand the processes involved for NMC registration. She has RN/RW from a SON and midwifery and also a BSC in Nursing. She is planning to sit for IELTS UKVI Academic now, I've also sent her a link to the NMC CBT links from Barbie. Are NHS/Uk agencies okay with just passing the CBT? I understand you have have to do the final OSCE when you are on ground.

Where/how does NMCN comes in? Apologies if this is a "should know" answer.

Has anyone recently migrated to the UK here that can assist?

Many thanks

Hi Everyone,

Just trying to put in online app for my Dad.

How do I answer "How much money are you planning to spend on your visit?"

he is not spending any amount on the trip as he's been sponsored. Should I put in the same amount the sponsor is willing to spend in this column?
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Baba1010: 8:33am On Sep 09, 2017
Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to invite my dad over to the UK for 2 months, I'll be sponsoring his trip as he's retired. He has previously visited the UK but was denied US visit visa a couple of years ago. Can you guys help clarify the points below?

- I have £2k in a savings acct and will send my savings bank statement to him, unable to send my current acct as I don't leave money there. Is it advisable to state I'll be supporting his trip in the range of £1500-£2000 as this means I'm ready to use all the money in the savings acct, do you reckon the eco won't find an issue with this?
- is £2k enough for 2 months?
- I transferred about 200k into his savings late June, thinking of printing his statement after that transaction so we don't have to explain source or do I need to add a note that I transferred this to him?
- I'll state in the invitation letter that he currently lives with my Mum and 2 of my siblings with their Children lives in the same city with him and they are planning his 69th birthday upon his return. home country ties?

- Documents from me

- Bank Statement
- SU07 sponsorship declaration if required, can someone confirm if this is required?
- BRP & Data Page
- Invitation letter confirming sponsorship, accommodation. This will also indicate he's been in UK previously and he didn't break any immigration laws
- 3 months payslip

- Documents from Dad
- Pension docs, retirement letter
- 6 months Bank statement where pension is paid into monthly (no money in this acct)
- 2/3 months - Savings bank statement with about 200k in it.

Do I need to add anything to the above docs?

Many thanks!!!!!

Hi Guys,

Applied for credential assessment with WES few weeks back. My undergrad with Lautech and a UK masters. Transcript for my masters has been received by WES. Yet to figure out how to sort out transcript for my undergrad in Nigeria considering the school has been on strike for some time now.

1.) Can anyone kindly confirm if only my masters is suitable for application and does it have any impact on my score?

2.) Is there a way I can have WES delete credentials for my undergrad as they are still expecting docs in that regard.


Thanks .
PropertiesRe: Calculating The Numbers Of Blocks You Need For Your Fence by Baba1010: 8:36pm On Dec 14, 2016
Many thanks Hajj!!

mufutau55:
Answers:

Some places in Oyo State uses either 60x120ft or 50x100ft as one plot.... read more below.
1. (a) If you use 60 x 120ft (648sqm) per plot, yours will be 1.70 plots meaning almost 2 plots.
(b) If you use 50 x 100ft (450sqm) per plot, yours will be 2.45 plots meaning almost 2 plots and half.

2. The blocks is about right, extra needed for breakage.

3. 6 inches hollow blocks or solid (based on your pocket) is usually used. I prefer 6 inches hollow blocks.

4. Buying or Moulding blocks depend on you... you can save some money if you mould yourself but you need people to supervise it.

Hope the above helps.

PropertiesRe: Calculating The Numbers Of Blocks You Need For Your Fence by Baba1010:
Hi @HsLBroker, Hajj @mufutau55 many thanks for your contribution on this property section and @HsLBroker for sharing this great piece. This is my first time getting a property (land was bought on my behalf as I wasn't on ground) and thinking of fencing the land. Please see attached survey plan for a piece of land in Ibadan.

1.) Can you kindly advise how many plots are in the survey?

2.) I got a quote for fence advising 2500 blocks for 5 coaches for this land. Going by your calculation I have calculated total number of blocks for 9 coaches to be 2332 blocks (gate, pillars removed).

3.) 9 inches or 6 inches block for fence

4.) Also, is it advisable to mould the blocks or buy them ?

Many thanks for your response

And thanks for the link, I've been thinking of ways to get my transcript from Lautech considering they are on strike. I requested my transcript from a UK uni last week, it was processed and posted out to WES same day....wondering when our unis will be that efficient smiley

Has your poor mind (at her age) been able to conceive or identify JUST ONE problem that needs to be solved not alone provide a solution or you are still waiting on the Nigerian govt as most people do?

However, I have a bf, I havent done anything but talk to this other guy but still I want to know.

Has anyone ever left a relationship for someone else or just to try dating someone else and then regretted it later? And what were your reasons to do so?

I could just be feeling this way because I'm currently in a long distance, but this other guy and I seem to have so much more in common and he would gel with my family and friends so easily'. https://www.nairaland.com/939369/regrets

PoliticsUS Ambassador, 3 Staffers Killed In Militia Attack In Libya by Baba1010(op): 11:12am On Sep 12, 2012
The US ambassador to Libya was killed by local militia in an attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Reuters quoted Libyan official as saying. US embassy in Libya has not yet commented on the report. J. Christopher Stevens and three other consulate employees were reportedly killed on Tuesday during clashes between armed militia members and army soldiers, as a mob stormed the compound.

The ambassador allegedly died of suffocation in the fire, BBC reports. US State Department neither confirmed nor denied the death of its ambassador. The US diplomatic facility in eastern Libya was evacuated following violent clashes, and an enraged crowd of militia members stormed the building and set it on fire.

The violence was part of a protest against an American amateur film “Innocence of Muslims” deemed offensive to the Prophet Muhammad. A similar incident took place in Cairo, Egypt’s capital. The film was produced by a US-based group that includes Terry Jones, a Christian pastor involved in a Koran-burning scandal that triggered mass protests in Afghanistan. On the anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, he released a video promoting the film that portrays the Prophet in a "satirical" manner, according to Jones.

John Christopher Stevens was born in northern California in 1960. He was first sent to Libya in June 2007 as deputy chief of the country’s US mission. He served as chargé d’affaires at the Tripoli embassy until 2009.Stevens came to Libya for a second time in April 2011, arriving on a cargo ship. The US government sent him to rebel headquarters in Benghazi to serve as a special representative to the Libyan National Transitional Council.
In March 2012, Stevens was named America’s ambassador to Libya.

You made me remember my sister, she got preg for the her so-called guy cos the family was against their relationship and she felt the only solution was to get preg anyways, a "save=the=shame" marriage was arranged cos no options for abortion ( strict/religious parents). A year afterwards she is out of the marriage and dude got another wifey. she obviously was clouded in some unreasonable love then.

See babes, I wouldn't advise you go for abortion, you are just 15 for heaven sake. have the baby with the support of your family, sure they will flare up initially but they wont leave you to carry the burden alone since there are better chances your Mr. Love might not be around (arrested). Lets say you have your baby by 16, you should be able to pick up your life after a year or there about and fulfill your dreams(everybody's got one I hope grin grin)......life goes on.
