Please @ dduchess90 @ Justwise and the house what can one do?
Biometric on the 23rd November, BRP letter on the 9th December,but passport yet to be returned. Made several paid calls and paid mails, response was that visa had been issued but that their was a technical issue while producing the vignette, and it will be returned as soon as possible, this was the reply given to the school's admission officer on the 4th January 2023. Please I need your advice on how to go about this issue.

I know someone with the exact situation as yours(including the timeline). He intends to go check at the VAC on monday. He has gotten that of his other family members(3) except his, despite the fact that they share same bio and decision dates. His VAC is Abuja.

Good morning House. Please I have an urgent and important enquiry from you.

I have gotten an offer from a company in the UK who has sponsorship License and 1 want to know what I can present as a knowledge of English language.

I have a Master of Business Administration in university of Wales and also Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management in the uk and both courses were taught in English Language at level 7 which was above the level 5 requirement.

I want to find out if those two certificates can be use as English Language proficiency text or I still need to write the IELTS?

I will be looking forward to your reply.

Thanks

You are exempt from prooving your english proficiency since you schooled in the UK.

Thank you for your help on this thread. I am trying to call the ukvi numbers and it's not connecting with both my MTN and Airtel line. Please, any suggestions? Is there something I am doing wrong or we can't call them on a Friday?

Try using Glo, it connects quite easily.

Good day all,

While filing my visa application, there is a portion where I have to fill in my parents information.

On the section for my Dad, my Dad owes two Nationality. And the passport he uses is not a Nigerian passport but the other Nationality.

How should I go about filing it. If I declare both nationalities for him, my issue is, hope it will not affect my application by them assuming that I hail from the other Nationality instead of Nigeria?

I don't know if my question is understandable.

It wouldnt as you are using your Nigerian passport plus you have not declared any other nationality.

Good evening house,

Please I want to ask for your advice, I did my biometrics together with my wife at TLS Ikeja on the 18th November 2022 and i got my own collection email 24th November 2022 and picked it up my visa 25th November though I paid for priority. My wife is yet to get her own. I want to ask if I can stop my proof of funds and if it won’t affect my wife’s own. Though my wife has gotten her BRP mail but she is yet to get her visa.


I will appreciate a prompt response

When did your wife get the BRP mail?

Cheers.Always keep eyes on companies with good shareholding structure.It pays

Please what do you consider to be a good shareholding structure?

That condition is for an export driven economy like China. We are still a consumer nation and will not achieve industrialization in one night.

Where the West is encouraging us to devalue our Naira, they keep accusing China of doing the same, you know why, because China will benefit more as an exporting nation. Our balance of trade still remains in the negative so taking that step head-on will be disastrous to a country that is already poor and not particularly known to be productive.

You are right. But let me remind you that China was not always an exporting nation. What they did was to copy some technology and adapt it to their needs, initially producing what the world saw as inferior quality products but it served their local demands, they were not importing and because the products were cheap, countries started importing from China. Over time many industries sprang up, their people became very much financial empowered, they improved their skills, technologies and infrastructure. Today they are a global force.
Lots of lesson to copy from them. We need to reduce our imports as much as possible to capital imports mainly, produce what we need domestically and empower our people.

Theconglomerate:
You ignore the cry of the masses.
That cry and desperation is what is going to make them buy what Nigeria businesses is offering at lower prices than their imported counterpart.
The reserves Nigeria is going to build by devaluating will be used for the massive industrial revolution that will follow suit in Nigeria,not for subsidising consumer imports anymore.
Capitalism is not meant to favour everybody,Nigeria is not a socialist state.
People will figure it is better to export than import.
Lots of jobs will be created by this,giving more and more working people disposable income.
Medicine to most people is a one-off purchase,not an everyday consumer commodity so making reference to it is really shallow.
If coartem price rises today,people won't complain as much as if it were food because they only get to buy it once in a while.
So yes,people can very well live with inflation of prices of drugs caused by devaluation.Abi drugs na food
I don't remember calling myself an economist,the things I share are mostly from experience being an active tradesman.

I do agree with @theconglomerate that devaluation will indeed be very beneficial to the nation. Devaluation makes imports expensive thereby discouraging it and exports lucrative thereby encouraging it. While it might be tough in the short term, in the longrun the economy will adapt. Industries will naturally spring up to fill the vacuum left by previously imported products, more jobs will be created as a result and forex will be conserved and even built up through exports. The growing foreign reserve and capital can then be used to continuously improve the nation's infrastructure.

Ur peeps are very anxious o.

eleameh:

We should not allow our overriding personal interest becloud our sense of judgement. Interview for other positions are still pending and are to be done in batches. Training may not be in batches, i stand to be corrected.

I very much agree wit u dat we shuld nt allow our interest becloud our judgement. But I will like to point out dat d interview was done in phases cos it would av been too cumbersome to do for all positions at d same time. So tinking along dis line I will want to believe d training to will be done in phases. Just tinking aloud sha.

Den again, may is gone n we r entering june. I believe dose waiting to be called for interview n dose of us waiting for training will all know our fate in june. So let be optimistc as june is billed to be a 'win-win' month for us all. One luv guys

shikshark: im having a feeling that the training will start soon cos my friend that we did the test together have a brother in NIMC and i learnt he is in abuja as we speak, if there is any development.......ill definitely share. thank you

I would luv 2 believe he is in abj cos we r going 2 be called soon. But I must say ur assumption is a far reaching assumption cos he could be in abj for a whole lot other reasons. Wish all us d best. Cheers

Mint, firm to print national ID card - NIMC

2013-05-15 00:00:25The Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company is one of the two local firms selected by the Federal Government for the printing of the nation's multipurpose identity card.The Director-General, National Identity Management Commission, Mr. Chris Onyemenam, who disclosed this in an interview with our correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday, said NIMC had also set a target of 24 months for the manufacture of the cards.Onyemenam said the Memorandum of Understanding recently signed with MasterCard was meant to feature the international payment card on the identity card as a payment solution and not for the production of the cards.The NIMC boss said after the pilot phase, which will involve the production of 13 million cards, other payment solutions could be included in the cards.He said, "We have only taken advantage of the security that has been created in the National Identity Management System to include a payment solution. We have only used the security and the safety provided by the National Identity Management System to enhance the implements of the electronic payment industry."The warehousing of our data is still our responsibility. The processing of the data is done between us and local companies in Nigeria through the financial institutions. It is a partnership between NIMC and the financial institutions licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and MasterCard, and the processor that is also licensed by the CBN."MasterCard is just a payment solution. It is a payment platform that we all know. And this is a pilot for 13 million cards. We are not 13 million Nigerians. This is just a pilot. When we are through with it, we can accommodate other payment platforms."Onyemenam added, "The card itself is not something anybody can buy from the shelf. You cannot just walk to a shop and say give me this card. I know that there are so many cards that are being imported into the country from China and elsewhere, but this is a special card designed like any other national identity card for Nigeria."It was designed by my staff. The chips on the card have benefited our experience as well. Now, we cannot manufacture it; we don't manufacture cards in Nigeria. But we have plans to make sure that within 18 to 24 months, it will be manufactured here. We believe in local content."We have two major producers.  And it is not right for me to start talking about them because it is a security matter. The security features on the cards are copyrighted for NIMC."In a statement issued by MasterCard and made available to our correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday, the company said the project was the largest roll out of a formal electronic payment solution in the country and the broadest financial inclusion initiative of its kind on the African continent.
