My other thread in the travel section has been disabled by the mod @justwise.

If your thread makes front page, you cannot modify it again. I think that was made clear to you earlier.

Hello OP,

Join this BBM channel: BTrim n Healthy C0018875C. You will get health tips, exercise routines and the right time/type of food to take. They also update regularly.

Newmum0615:
Thank you. We did some explanation but maybe it wasn't enough. We will reapply and probably describe in details what makes up the balances in our accounts.

Cross reference your bank statements as well. So you can refer to Appendix A, B, C, etc.

justwise:
Many traders in onisha and Ariara market can't read and write but they are doing very well for themselves hence my argument that ability to read and write is not what education is all about.

The op was talking about education from academic perspective then I said that education is not everything.

A lot if those traders might have WAEC and some even have BSc. I have family that have their degrees but prefer to do business.

For me, I earn N362k. I have in total N4.420m in fixed deposits. I had just about 90k left in my salary acct. I am a banker and I rarely leave my salary lying in our staff acct. I always move more than half of it once I am paid to increase my deposit amount. My husband earns 601k and had N1.6m in his salary acct, N1.040m in our joint acct, and N2.750m in his fixed deposit. Making a total of N5.3m amongst other little cash lying around in his acct. So together we had almost 10m but the ECO never referred to the fixed deposits in his refusal notes.

What you should have done was to include in your additional information how exactly the trip would be funded, from what accounts, what would be left to live on and that your fixed deposits can be liquidated if you need it when you return.

I think you should reapply and explain in detail how you got the money and how you plan on funding the trip.

ifyalways:
Point is: Your salary account which is the EASIEST to verify it's source had VERY LITTLE funds.

The difference between the funds in your salary account ( which is easy to trace) and your other accounts (with little or no source) is alarmingly high.

If you had a landed property, other personal businesses and added that as other source of income, it would have been better as there would be rent receipts, business registration docs, receipts etc to back that up.

Nobody can really justify how these people think. When we did for our whole family, we submitted salary accounts and fixed deposit/investment statements that was substantially higher than our combined income. Our salary account had an almost zero balance as we moved all idle cash to our investments. We probably submitted about 7 accounts between my husband and 1. But what I did in the additional information portion was to detail how we expected to fund the trip so that they don't get confused.

timy22:
Have u meet her in person to verify things proper?

You know you sell first grade children clothes, can you give her some and whilst at it, verify properly in person?

Thanks.

Hey guys,
I need your candid opinion and advice on this. I am first class graduate of Civil Engineering from one of the prestigious federal university in Nigeria.
I won all expense-paid scholarship to Thailand and also secured job with sterling bank.
Sterling bank job total take home is around 198k but I am confused whether to take up the job or go for my masters degree.
I am particularly confused because of job insecurity associated with banking industry as well as deviating from my career aspiration of becoming an Engineer.
I am also concerned of not being able to secure decent job when I come back after my masters programme in Thailand.
I will be glad for your honest opinion and advice

If you have the option to defer the program by one year, kindly do so. Even if it is one year work experience, it is very good. That is when your masters will help in getting a higher level.

Believe it or not over the cause of the 6 days I spent a little over N9,000 on airtel recharge cards calling customer service.

Use Airtel talkmore bundle for such calls. It won't cost you as much.

Gboliwe:
Sure, that's why I also asked to be alerted here.

Godzlove, If you are willing to give us your home address, medical report and other sundry accessories as verification, giving me your username is nothing. Moreover, you can trust me not to come online and post it. I will treat it as confidential. That I promise.

This one na Godzchild o. Although na the same modus operandi. She might even be the same person as Solomon Chioma from a sister thread.

InformedLola:
You have not registered, yet you have a matric number? Interesting.

I was at the passport office when they called a name "Divine Increase". Everyone burst laugh. The girl was there with her mum.

Don't ban sport betting, ban those people that sell "fixed matches" because it is illegal.

Last i heard, sports betting is a legitimate business. I think a Nairalander is also a very popular owner of a sports betting company.

Looks like they are recording the procedure.

How many times will this make front page?

ojialo:
Lies, his wife a troublemaker? you must be dreaming, your lies can make a blind man see, I know that family too well

Really, which part is a lie? Did they ever live in Trans Ekulu? Did they ever block the road with their security detail? Did they make it difficult for others to enjoy their serenity? Did they listen to anyone? Is the wife not loud? She may have been very nice to her friends (at least that's why you are still friends) doesn't make them less of horrible neighbours.

Don't know where they stay now but hopefully they will chill out.

“The Controller-General is a peace loving and law abiding citizen of Nigeria who has never been involved in any act of bravado, impunity or hooliganism and will never encourage any form of abuse on any Nigerian".


This is so false. We know him and his wife in Trans Ekulu in Enugu. Horrible neighbours. Always trying to intimidate everyone else with their loudness and security details. Cos of him and his wife, my family had to sell off that house and move to GRA. His punishment is coming.

berniceunice:
U are a MALE using FEMALE monicker

If it makes you sleep better at night abi u no see quotation marks? Either watch the video or gerrarahia mehn.

Fadekebisola:
at bolded..so u are a GUY BUSTED

Not a guy. That's a quote from the video. Still funny.

For the woman that said back is for children, start at 9mins. For the Buhari guy, start from 9:30.

I have not laughed so hard. "My father is a pastor and my mother has a post in cele. She did something so that we will not have interest in women until we are 30 something" . See reason sha.

segzy1979:
There house, pls if a land is charted as Agric, what is the implication of buying such land? Is the land under government acquisition? Is the survey going to carry free from government acquisition or not? Please advice me according.

I think it means that the land can only be used for agricultural purposes and nothing else.

I have my old nitel sim pack and the rose (mtel) simply card. Kept it just in case they revive themselves and they can continue with the freebies I enjoyed then.

They were the first to do free on net calls, had the cheapest sms rates (free for the first month) and other such perks. I loved my nitel sim.

I remember when I was about 6. I cut the stem and it looked like sugar cane to me. So I started chewing it. The taste was not palatable so I spat it out. My throat and mouth felt like they were on fire. I couldn't even shout.

I rushed to my mum to show her the plant. She started speaking in tongues cos I was looking pretty bad. She gave me almost a gallon of palm oil to drink. I was still on fire. Called for an ambulance to rush me to the hospital. Whilst waiting, saw a cup of cocoa that they made for my youngest brother and I downed the whole mug. It gave me relief.

Since then, I have a phobia for potted plants.

Siena:
Thanks sis!

There have been 2 more since Sienna though.

Nice. You don finish work been that.

100 + 4 + 1 = 105.

Awww. Happy birthday in arrears. Can't belive it's been 5 years and Sienna is all grown up. Didn't know you added one more.

Wish you the best now and in the future. Lovely family.

Stalwert:
Now I see why someone sang dele is my boy. He is not guilty because you are sympathetic to rich and corruptful. When last did you write a letter defending the poor from impunity? Nigeria is doomed with this elitist sickness. Your letter wreaks of immorality.

Should be reeks.

victorazy:
While Dangote should be walking on the street freely! My brothers, my sisters, this is purely fight against a particular ppl.

If Dangote has unserviced debts that AMCON has taken over, he will be treated same way. Don't forget that the money that AMCON paid to the banks is from our commonwealth.

Would you rather he goes scot free with billions of our money rather than being made to pay back his debts?

fejicruz:
Being indebted doesn't make one crooked. Almost all countries in the world are indebted.

It makes you a crook if you don't service your loans but would rather splurge on other things.

Don't you think the banks deserve to have the money paid back?

The crook should go and pay his debts.

Next thing he will start to shout victimisation.

Cool. Waiting.
