No via bamboo, you are original shareholder and can vote and attend the companies AGM.

If you trade via XTB you are not a direct shareholder of the company. Take note of that.

Just like bamboo?

Wow 15k? Hmmm that is much ooo. I entered mulin then I did not stay long oo I pulled out maybe with 20 dollars loss entered FFIE and FSRN I quickly pulled out. Once I noticed it hard for it to pull out and when pulled out it doesn't sustain it and know catalyst to push up again I don Japa be that ooo. Anyway with right strategies you will recover and double up on profits
I hoped to quickly make a flip on Xpeng so I bought 16k dollars worth of it back in January, it dipped and since then, it’s been dipping.

I also bought SQQQ and unfortunately, that was when then nvidia boom started, it wrecked me.

So, yes! My loss should be around 15k now, once I recover a bit, I will be buying etf only

You really went in hard ....... EV sector would still pick, but when ........ Hopefully majority of your positions would be floating losses.......
Xpeng, 48% loss. Nio would have been worst if not that I DCA from around 30 dollars.

I just need to get out and once I am out, I will just keep my money in S&P forever

What people don't understand is, this 5 GREEN day happens 5-10 times in every bullrun and each occurrence has 3 phases.

1. Phase 1, the main crash with long red candle down that takes 30%-70% of alts profit when this happens, BTC loses 5-15% in a day.

2. Phase 2, this either happens an hour or two later or the next day. (Just like this one we're experiencing, it happened the next day, being yesterday)

3. Phase 3, hmmm, this one is always a surprise to liquidate those who longed the first day of 5 greens before an instant jump in price and it never looks back for some months.

Sometimes, this phase 3 never come, it stops at phase 2 and consolidates there before a leg up.

10m can't take you. What can take you is 40m assuming your school fees is 12000 pounds and 10,000 for living expenses so you are short of 30m.

So now the real journey has began ... Get your CV ready and start applying for jobs instantly. Apply for NI today today so that by a week time u will have it.

Am hearing getting job in Scotland now is now easy than England what a twist of event... Scotland weh we de avoid then
Finally note that schools are under pressure financially as customers or rather say student did not take up required admission space last year September and this year we know only fewer people are interested in UK schools, so they are not being nice again.

I've been telling my people that I can find my way from London to my city (4 hrs away from London) but they all kept saying that I would get lost or something

Thank you to everybody, I landed safely to the UK on Wednesday evening through the kenya airways. Pretty straightforward, though they handled my bag roughly sha, lol. But in return, I kept ordering wines sha during the flight.

I booked National expresss before leaving Nigeria so I merely moved from thr immigration terminal to the luggage pickup area to the National expresss bus-stop that was going my way.

Fully settled in now in the UK. Na job remain now.


To everybody working towards getting the UK visa, getting in and settling in, I pray that May the lord make it easy for you.

Saii, you know another issue was that I had issues with my cac and I never paid taxes
It was a 50-50 situation and I don’t want to taint my record with a denial that was avoidable, and the trip is not even urgent it’s genuinely leisure
Im just looking at the bright side, visited Alaba for the first time, got cheap goods and contacts.

Good people of Nairaland travel section please help me

My bank statement dey somehow,
A background- I’m a student (wrote my last university exams this December, haven’t defended my project or done my convocation )
I’m planning a Uk trip for tourism, I’m funding it myself
I own a gadget store, I buy these gadgets my self online from the us and ship them to 9ja and sell, so my bank statement for my naira account is big 100 million naira transactions in 6 months, these are payments from random customers, my dollar account I used for purchases has $44,000 transactions for 6 months too

My confusion is that neither of my statements proofs my actual income and expenditure
Looking forward to a swift reply thanks
My appointment is in 2 days
I saw this late Sha, UK is pretty straightforward and so far you can defend your transactions with evidence, and you have a balance of like 15M that hasn't been touched in the last 28days, you will get the visa. You already have a business and they know you will come back

Good day everyone!

So my sister is graduating in July 2024 and wants to invite me to come over. I plan on applying for a 6 month visitor-visa to go on a 3-week trip, to attend her graduation and then spend the extra time visiting, so i'm thinking through the application process now.

Here is some background:

I work in a tier 1 bank and have been working there for about 6 years. In terms of income, i've been promoted a couple of times and now earn about 600k monthly, 500k quarterly lump sum allowance, 1m upfront and 1.3m leave allowance (which i can take at any point in time once i apply for leave during the year). I also have some reasonable funds in a dollar mutual fund and stock portfolio (circa $10k). I'm 27, female, single with no kids, and not much travel history (well, except a personal trip to Ghana in 2018 and a work trip to an African country in 2023). My sister intends to accommodate me for the trip, but i'll pay for my flight ticket, outings, shopping money etc etc. I am entitled to 25 leave days every year which covers my proposed 3 week trip, and i have my pension statement (going back 6 years) which has a balance of about N3m.

In terms of how i run my salary account, my monthly expenses are about 200k, and i pretty much take out about 400k for savings/investments every month (usd based because leaving it in naira is a losing bet), so its not a straightforward debit salary account, credit usd dom account, and sometimes my naira salary account goes down to as low as N10k. But my expenses are really that low (for context my biggest expense, which is rent, is 700k per annum (and i have receipts/rental agreements for this).

From everything i've seen so far, there seem to be two possible problems with my application:
1. Lack of home ties: No husband, kids or properties, the only thing tying me to Nigeria is my job. (Not sure what i will do about this except i can somehow procure a husband in Q1 2024 grin grin)
2. Salary account Usage: Account balance drops quite low periodically, and i cant directly tie every debit to the investments i'm doing (which range from dollar mutual funds, to US/UK stocks to crypto grin etc). I don't have any bulk inflows into the account though - just salary and allowances.

What do you think i can do between now and say April 2024 when i intend to turn in the application to address these flaws?

Thank you!
Apply, you will get the Visa
Properties / Re: Your brilliant Input Is Needed on a plot of land i paid for. by Born2conquer: 9:29pm On Dec 23, 2023
OG124:
I just bought a plot of land for 1.2m. Please, Is the survey plan fee and the likes in the 1.2m or will I be paying that aside the 1.2m?
Note I thought the Survey plan, red copy doc and agreement fee should be in the payment, this is my first. please advise before I overpay them. Thanks everyone.
The 1.2M is the price of the land.

You will be responsible for any documents you want for the land just like deed of assignments, CofO, registered Survey.

The best you will get from the seller are receipt and the documents they got for the purchase of the land.

If you have more question, feel free to ask

Okay, I did the whole process with a friend. He already travelled, so we did it together. He was in charge of the application and submission but I made the payments for the visa, Ihs, and to tls. I got all the mail confirmations.

Did the Biometrics on the 12th
TLS sent me this mail yesterday morning: "Your travel document (and supporting documents, if applicable) are now ready for collection at the TLScontact Visa Application Centre, Lagos, Ikeja. Please carefully read the below instructions to retrieve your documents."

Everybody I showed told me that it means that my visa has been approved and I even asked questions about it on here yesterday.

this morning, I got a BRP decision letter from UKVI via my mail that my UK VISA application has been successful, the letter was even dated the 13th of December, the second day after my biometrics.

It's really super fast, I didn't pay for any priority or premium. I've already spent over 1200 pounds on IHS so I no really too get spare to change and I was willing to wait till next year since I have a whole lot of things left to do.

I still dey stare at the letter since but I dey go pick my passport on Monday sha
PASSPORT collected today, Visa confirmed.
Biometric to passport collection took less than 5 days

It be like person don scam you.

UkVI will never send you an affirmation that your visa is granted and especially because it's not been upto 4 days since you did the biometrics.

But then who knows🤷 you just might have benefitted from a super priority deal without even knowing.



As I am certain you are not the one that submitted your application yourself since you don't know what a tracker is, why not go and ask your agent whatsup
