@justwise.. Pls i was asked to deposit 15705 pounds in my acct for 28 days and as at today thats converted into 7,415,180. but because of the fluctuation in rates this days i was thinking to be on a safe side i should just deposit 8 million instead, hope this is allowed and ok?
thanks
If you are going to use it to travel, open a domiciliary account and overt your money. That way, you don't worry bout exchange rates. It's what I did many many years ago. I paid my fees from there and spent my upkeep from there.

Why is your bank being difficult? I had such an issue with my Standard Chartered bank card and they immediately delisted the card and halted all pending transactions. Transactions stay for 24 hrs before they are released to the other party. They refunded my money although they took a charge for stopping the transactions or was it because the transactions were exchanged at a lower exchange rate.

For the second bold, who did they inherit the non love for books from?. cheesy grin.

picks race.
Lol. grin

My husband actually loves to read and is quite an avid reader. He just loves particular genres and doesn't care much about novels. Maybe that's the key? I need to find the genres that appeal to him and not expect him to like all books. Or he might like other media and not print. Will see how I can develop this further.

From vgc, it does appear to be traffic-free, workdays. However, on Saturdays which are days I normally drive to Ajah, it's a nightmare from ikota first gate or Vgc especially from 10am.
I experienced it this weekend. Wish they could move those busses off the road. They even stop in the middle of the road! I just don't understand their mentality at all.

It actually worked for one but didn't work for the older one. My 2nd son seems to have inherited my love for books. Even if it's newspaper, he will read. He always has a book with him even when going to play ball. But the first one, hmmm that one na real work. To even sit down and read to him is a problem but he wants me to make up stories about giants, Spiderman, etc but doesn't want to be read to at all. My baby no even send me. I have enough board books to set up a mini bookstore but he is totally uninterested. Just interested in chewing on them and using them to test his aim.

I have stepped up especially for this holiday. They are on a tight schedule. Just that they will travel this weekend and i know their grandparents will scatter everything. They must read and then summarise to me everyday. When i read my first son's summary, i had to laugh. He just told the stories from the pictures, obviously didn't read the book and used the worst handwriting i have ever seen (maybe to confuse me).

It has reached praying levels o. They must love to read. It is non-negotiable.

Stop laughing joor.
Give me tips.
Are they bookaholics now? This one grunts and swells when it's time to read to me.....but he enjoys me reading to him.... cry
A wise woman once told me:

zaynie:
Hold the TV, bring out the books and see what happens.
The books should be something popular from TV and then print book review sheets online and encourage them to fill it. When they know they have to review the book, they will concentrate and focus on the book. You could let them watch one hour of TV for every 100 pages of book read. So they have to read 4 -25 page books....or 2-50 page books or one 100 and something page book.
Right now in my house, TV is on hiatus, that was when we became puzzle pros.

Just got back from the bookstore.

I'm always finding something new to buy.
Okay so we're starting a new habit of one book per week and workbooks to support. when my son said "I don't like books" I almost had an heart attack and my mind flew to Blank and her kids immediately cry.

They also do jolly phonics training for parents every month for 10k
They have books on everything and are reasonably priced.
They have very colorful educational and moral charts too.
I don't think they have the write and wipe and sandpaper letters ,I'll check another place later this week. But sand trays can be made at home.

This bookstore is Chelis Bookazine at 12 Johnson Street of Eric Moore, Bode Thomas Surulere Lagos.
All the below was about 4k.

Thanks for your contribution. Can you please send the itinerary to my email. @yahoo.com
I'm really sorry but i can't. Just come up with an itinerary that groups tourist attractions together. So if you are staying in Manchester and want to go to London to see some sights, either book a hotel for one night in London or write it clearly on your schedule that you will go to so and so places in London and return by night train. When writing tourist attractions, you can't write that you will go to Alton Towers, go to water park etc on the same day. These are attractions that are full day entertainment on their own. It would also be good to put like a daily schedule so that it shows that you have done some research and are prepared rather than some random tourist attractions.

Kindly remove your mail address, scammers can be on the prowl.

Hello house, I once applied for a uk visa in 2014 and was invited for interview, but was refused. I learnt it is good to ensure change of circumstances before reapplying.
Thus thought i should share the refusal details on here.

"You have stated that you wish you travel to the UK for sightseeing and will stay the Arora Hotel Heathrow. This in itself leads me to question your intentions as this hotel is next to Heathrow airport and some distance away from the usual tourist sites.
You have given little indication as to how you intend to spend your time, where you intend to travel, what site of interest you intend to visit and why in particular you have chosen the UK for your holiday. I consider it reasonable to expect you to be able to drmonstrate you have some knowledge of your chosen dastination and plans. In the absence of such information it is difficult for me to make any considered judgement as to your true intentions.

I note further you are proposing to spend over 5months of your salary on this trip where you have been unable to credibly explain your reason for travel.

I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied, on probabilities, that you meet the requirements."

My people, in my application i stated bout 5 tourist sites to visit, but guess i was expected to state more (inexperience). And I didn't know i was expected to have vast knowledge of where I've never been to. The cost of my trip was about 700k.

Please need you all to help on how to RESPOND to this because in my next application i will like to address the refusal. Thank you.

Note: I will be staying at my cousin's house. This i believe will definitely reduce the cost of my trip as i wont have to pay for hotel.
It is good to group the tourist sites you want to see together such that they are in proximity. Also, where you stay has to be sort of close or easy to get to. You can't give an address in London and say you want to visit Beatles Museum in Liverpool. Even within the same city. Also, your address has to be somewhere tourists usually go to or your tourist sites are close to it. If you want to visit, then do a proper research on how much it will cost and where the tourist sites are.

I wanted to give an example of my itinerary but i changed my mind as world people can copy it word for word and cause me wahala because it doesn't follow the normal pattern.

Are you sure about this? When exactly did Lagos state take over LCC? I have a friend who works there and he said nothing like that happened....
I just believe the company has been infected with the poor maintenance culture we have in this country. Afterall, they make a lot of money from the toll gate, so what is their excuse?

WHILST I WILL IGNORE YOUR OBVIOUS HYPERBOLE, I NEED TO MENTION THAT THERE CAN NEVER BE A UNIVERSAL OPINION.

NO ONE HAS SAID THAT "POOR" PEOPLE SHOULD NOT ATTEND SCHOOL. ALL THE GOVT HAS DONE IS TO CREATE AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE TO ACHIEVE THEIR EDUCATION GOALS. IT COMES AT A COST WHICH THE GOVT BELIEVES SHOULD BE PART FINANCED BY THE STUDENTS TO ENSURE THE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED. HAPPENS IN ALL DEVELOPED COUNTRIES.

MY ISSUE WITH YOU IS WHY YOU FEEL THE GOVT SHOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF ALL ITS CITIZENS. THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS. EVERYONE MUST NOT ATTEND THIS UNI.

Lagos state has taken over LCC. They just retained the name. As with anything Govt, the maintenance culture is off. That's why it hurts so bad whenever I have to pay the toll.

The road is a nightmare. Why can't they do something of good quality? There was a Monday, maybe 2 or so weeks ago that it took over 3 hours to get from Chevron to the toll gate.

I haven't really passed the Ajah bridge since it was opened. How is the traffic in the mornings?

We use a "Flat rate" tax system so no one pays more. The rich also dodge and the revenue the government generate from the poor trading in the state is what?.
Flat rate? Do you pay your PAYE at all? PAYE is a progressive tax system.

Let us analyse the rest of your statement. The rich and poor both dodge taxes, agreed. However, the amount collected from the rich will always be more than that from the poor. Do you think all those Alaba traders are poor? Or the women trading in Balogun market are poor?

Again, why can't the govt create universities for the rich? Them tell you say them dey forbid am? Are they not also citizens? Is this a Socialist government?

i can place my bet on what i said , i know over 6 people who have been denied US visa because they said they were expecting a child or they said they plan on having a child soon . most people who go to the US to have child don't make it known to the VO , the only time they grant a visa to a pregnant woman is if she can prove with a good medical report that there are some kind of complications surrounding her pregnancy and she needs the best hands to help her with delivery which of course she can't get in nigeria and such cases are rear .

i also know some couples who were asked during their interview if they planned on having a child during their visa validity and they said no and their visas were approved .

i repeat again , don't ever go to the embassy and say you plan on having a child soon especially when you are applying a student visa . it's a red flag and a no no for the american embassy .
Not true. I have had 3 visas to give birth in the US although i only had 2 there. Each time, i told them i was going to have a child and showed them that i could afford it and had made plans to pay in full. I was granted each time.
