SHUT UP and read properly, if you have beef with people before dont take it out on everyone, SHE IS 20 years old, never lived in Lagos before and not been in nigeria fpr a while no matter how sweet and dandy lagos is-for those that have a job or business, people will always be apprehensive moving from one society to another - not to live with family but to work!! it's a different ball game altogether and using examples of expatriate dont cut it, they are paid 10x more on average, they get accommodation in the best place and security is there 24/7 for them

I have shut up and have read still your write up makes no sence. bur my mouth is still closed and am still reading maybe its one of those vision 2010 that never makes any sence would never make sence. weather she is 20 or 18 thats not an issue i think ya all wanna turn this thread to how bad and dirty lagos is. after all her employers are leavin in lagos and are employin pple from where she is.

justwise:
Deportees like u are always quick to bring up Nigeria vs Diaspora thing. Tell us those good things about Lagos and stop insulting us here

lmao lol , what other expression can i use in expressing your stupidity you actually hold your current asylum position in high esteem lol lol lol . OGA some of us go and come back as we should bur still our end point is GIDI. Ya all should stay back if you want to and if you wanna come back come back and stop making unnecessary noise. Gidi is like any other country in the world you cant eat your cake and have it. read inbtw the lines and make up your mind NAIJA i hail Naija i stand i have seen the GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY and came to the summary that ain't no where like home.

Hesperus:
Na wa for you, Dantecmu. The girl only asked an innocent question and here you are firing her for no reason. Instead of you to just tell her the positive things about Gidi, you're chastsing her. It's not her fault for asking, afterall, we know all the untruths people outside naija hear.

@ topup, dont believe all you hear about Lagos or Naija, its all propaganda by developed nations. Lagos is fun, with the right crowd you will have a blast. Mind you it has its downsides - power failures, bad roads, etc. And of course, crime. But let's face it, which country hasnt? Just be careful with your movements and you will be fine.

lets stop all this bullshit talk we always wanna make shit outa nofin. at least she has been holidaying in NCAA i work in Thar telecoms and bet you i have seen Expatriates who leave there country to naija for the first time and never wanna go back in fact the love GIDI so i am wondering why a Nigerian who has lived outside Africa for about 5 yrs should asking such crappy questions please if u wanna come u come if u ain't coming stay back worst still we replace you guys with EXPATRIATES.

justwise:
What load of rubbish are u going on about? She only asked a harmless question and u are busy typing expired english here. What is wrong with u? What is wrong with her question? Grow up

ur only writing from the u.k and your actin like you have gotten to your promiseland maybe dats your promise land bur some of us still blive in lagos.

kizzymack:
Okay I'm in a fix,

I applied for a family visit, , HR @ the bank I work for provided the leave letter, I have not told my immediate boss of my plans to take this leave. the problem is that our head of HR just left to another bank last thursday, and has since been replaced by another lady.

the problem is this, when the consulate calls to confirm that the leave letter is real, this new lady is going to call my boss to confirm and since he doesn't know of kizzymack's holiday plans, shit is going to hit the fan!

please nairalanders, somebody please tell me that the consulate doesn't have time to call my office to confirm the letter, i'm too young for this kind of blood pressure,

Yea i understand Your fears but i can authoritatively tell you that the embassy wont call nobody, that i know. So shit no go heat fan that i can promise you but its safer you do include a leave form. Reason why i know the embassy wont call your bank cant say on a public forum. so do go ahead and do your thing.

@Poster
  its complicated over there in UK my brother,but it all depends on you and what you want from life. But my bro Europe ain't what you think it is o. Especially as an illegal immigrant. Well i did post a similar topic like this some few months ago. i don't think its a good idea being an illegal immigrant in Europe you might not really understand the way it works its psychological my brother cus life out there ain't as rosy as it seems well i would only advice Nigerians that are completely hopeless to go and be an illegal immigrant in Europe but like i said its a thing of the mind. like you have already written NOBODY SHOULD DISCORAGE YOU FROM ELOPING, think bout it very well my bro all da best.

Get a police report. Did she have visas expired or valid visas on the stolen passport if she did then she would have to find a way to convince them that she is a regular traveler but if she didn't have any on the stolen Pasport i don't see what the issue is she should go get a police report and get a new passport.[code][/code]

tyna1:
@poster you are a Nigerian who lives in Nigeria prove me wrong.

Yes he is.

realcool:
ty and funky i get the message have read the tread and still need to no if i still need invitation again from my uncle to apply for my 2years or all i need is the documents which i submitted for the 1st 6month visa.

Just renewed My UK Visa. And i still had to submit all documents including an invitation letter and a valid bank statement i did also submit all documents i used initially e.g Employment letter, Leave letter, from employer birth certificate etc. and i was given although the invitation letter was taken and the rest was retunrned back to me. So i would suggest you submit all necessary documents infact assume Ur applying for the 1st time. Cus those guys could be weird how do explain an individual who did have a student visa came back applied for a 2yrs visa was given after expiration of the 2 yrs visa came back for a renewal and was denied on the bases that she didn't prove to them that her employees where approving her leave (NO LEAVE LETTER) 50k gone and wasted passport stamped so i advise you submit all necessary documents.

succeedo:
funkybaby,yes its RGU,that is why i do not want to blow the chance.You know this time its my uncle(not bearing the same last name with me)sponsoring not my parents so i feel there should be some exceptional documents to tender to authenticate the whole application,what do you think?

lmao . This is a perfect look of desperation on writing. sometimes this questions you ask the ECO dont even have answers to them.

funkybaby:
@succedo


For a fresh graduate, its either the applicant claims he will be coming back to take over the family business after completing his studies. This option is best when your sponsor is your parents and they have a registered company and you are one of the directors.

Another smart option (which works well) is relating your proposed course of study in the UK to the present economic trends in Nigeria. For example, an individual going to study Masters in Real Estate only has to state in the visa application stories about the booming property market in Lagos and mention classical examples like VGC, Lekki and how what you will learn in the UK will be beneficial to the Property Sector and make you a major player in the Property Sector when you open your own Property firm.

Funky You really get tyme you have practically answered the guys questions but he keeps on tongue twisting you and repeating same questions this guys don't read up on past threads. I just don't know i can see the desperation in him his not coming back its so obvious and basically thats whats gonna sell him out cause the ECO would see the same desperation in his application.

@suceedo

Guy read up on past threads, take your time study your forms do what you have being told PRAY TO YOUR GOD TO GRANT YOU FAVOUR and leave the rest i mean i don't know what else you want this chick to tell you. Sometimes humanbeings want to unrealistically make odd things look good just to satisfy themselves. All da best in your application.

Irrespective of the fact that some PPle in the likes of Funkybaby, Vicjustice, Patakee and a host of others are trying to attend to as much questions as possible i think some Nigerians night hae started abusing this opportunity i mean very soon someone would come on nairaland and ask us to spell NIGERIA for him.

@deji
Please go to VFS ibadan and ask them these questions. like i said in the other thread you cannot submit ur application on nairaland so the earlier you go the better for you.

THE ACTUAL STORY

by Ayodeji Omotade

On the 27th of March 2008 at about 12:30pm, I boarded the British Airways flight BA75 and I went straight to seat 53C. On getting to my seat, there were noises from an individual being forcibly restrained but who was not visible because some police officers and some plain clothes people held him down. The noise continued for more than 20 minutes and I was concerned because the individual was screaming in agony and shouting in pidgin English 'I go die' meaning, I will die. I pleaded with the officers not to kill him and my exact words were 'please don’t kill him'. The British Airways staff said that the officers were doing their jobs and that nothing was going to happen. The noise became louder and other passengers started getting concerned and were complaining especially about their safety. The situation continued for another 15 minutes after I got on.

Eventually, a member of the cabin crew announced that the passenger was going to be removed and the passenger was removed from the plane and we all thought that was the end of the situation. Five minutes later, two members of the cabin crew arrived with about 4 police officers and told me to get off the plane. I asked what the matter was and they said that I was not going to travel with the airline because the cabin crew thought I had been disruptive by questioning the noise being caused by the person that was removed. I pleaded with them that I was going for my brother’s wedding and that I had all his stuff with me. I was dragged out of the plane as if I was resisting arrest. As we got to the corridor that linked the plane with the terminal building, I was slammed against the wall and made to sit on the floor. I was still pleading with them telling them that they had completely misunderstood me and that I was only complaining about the situation regarding the disturbances caused by the deportee they were trying to restrain and subdue. I was on the floor for about 20 to 25 minutes. Another passenger was brought to the corridor as well and he was also pleading with the officers.

I was later put in the back of the police van at about 1:50pm and I was locked up there for about an hour or more still handcuffed. I was formally arrested approximately 2:30pm and my rights were read to me. Before the arrest in the van, I managed to reach for my pocket and brought out my mobile phone. I made some phone calls to my wife, sister and a friend while the low battery sign was on because I was all alone and still handcuffed. I was later driven to the police station where I was formally checked in. I was in police custody for almost 8 hours and later released on bail after the interview with the duty solicitor and the detectives. I had £473.00 on me which was seized as well as £90.00 sent to my mother in-law from my sister in-law and £1,050.00 given to me by my cousin who is a doctor for the upkeep of his parents in Nigeria. All the money together was £1,613.00. I was told that I would appear in a magistrate court to prove the money was not meant for crime or proceeds of crime. The officer told me that they will like to see traceability and that I needed my payslips and bank account detailing my payments and withdrawals as well as my cousin’s payments and withdrawals.

I was released but without the money. I made my way to terminal 4 and arrived there at about 12:30am but the British Airways kiosks were closed. I was directed to the staff room and told them that I wanted to rebook my trip to Lagos. A lady told me to give her my ticket and she stated that British Airways has banned me from travelling with them indefinitely and that only the managers can use their discretions because I was a ‘disruptive passenger’. I requested for my 2 piece luggage and she told me that the section will be opened later at about 5:30am and I will be escorted in to collect them. I slept on the chair and waited till about 5:30am and attempted to rebook my ticket but was told that British Airways refused to take me. I decided to go and pick up my stuff and I was told that my luggage were missing. I was handed a form with reference number LONBA90924. At this point, I became totally stranded because I could not leave without my luggage because it contained my brother’s wedding suit, shirts and accessories.

I was on the phone with my wife and she wanted to book an alternative flight that departs at 10:15am so that I could make it for the wedding. This was not possible because British Airways refused to disclose where my luggages were and did not remove my luggage from the flight when they called the police to arrest me. On Monday 31st of March, I appeared at the Magistrate court but was told that a decision was made about the £1,613.00 that was seized from me. The police had been granted a further 90 days to hold on to the money pending their investigation. I was given the officer’s details . He requested 12 months bank statements and 6 months payslip to prove that the £473.00 that belongs to me was not proceeds of crime and also requested that the £1,050.00 that was given to me by my cousin for his parents should also be traced to my cousin’s 12 months bank statement and 6 months payslip. DC Webster has promised to write me detailing these requests.

Still on Monday 31st of March 4 days after I was taken off the plane, I made extra efforts to find out the whereabouts of my 2 piece luggage (LONBA90924), because they have not been sent to my address as promised by calling the lost baggage section at 13:44hrs and spoke to a man called Neil who said that, it is difficult for them to trace my bags and that there is a strong possibility that they might be in Lagos. He suggested that I should call back in 24 hours. Eventually, one week and one day later, my bags were brought to me at home. One was badly damaged and the other was intact. British Airways delibrately made sure I missed the wedding because if they were kicking me off their flight, they would have removed my bags from the flight. They were all there when the police officers made me to sit on the floor and heard me pleading to allow me fly for my brother's wedding.

I could have made either KLM or Virgin Nigeria the following Friday morning. I will not want to believe that the authorities involved in the situation deliberately or cleverly punished me unnecessarily out of frustration for not being able to restrain or subdue a deportee or that I as a fee paying passenger was accused of affray with violence when I was voicing my concerns about the disturbances caused by the deportees. I never mentioned any abusive or swear words neither was I physically threatening anyone. My luggage mysteriously was lost and I have been banned on all British Airways flights without a chance to say my part of the story to redeem myself. 135 passengers were asked to leave the flight because they expressed displeasure regarding the disturbances caused by the deportees and the officers trying to restrain him. My ticket was even refused to be endorsed by BA to enable me to fly with another airline. I need full compensation of my loss and also a letter of apology from British Airways.

House i need some quik info on Lowe lintas. What the entry pay is like? whats there status in there industry? How many advertising accounts they have? Infact anything bout them. As soon as Possible?
Its quite Urgent? Thanks. And lastly if you where to choose Between lowe lintas and insight grey which would it be?

Alrit a litte tip on how to bring out INTEGRITY in an application well stick by the truth make sure what you feel in your form corresponds with what you submit on paper. like you said you wanna go have fun for two weeks make sure your write ups are directed towards that. When i first applied for my own uk visa i didnt submit much just the needed documents but it did cover all my activiteis from when i was born till date. My empahasis wwas that i was going to have fun although i already had some visas on my passports so dont really know if that was an added advantage but i have seen pple get uk visa on virgin passports so just fill the questions sincerelly.
My brother am wishing you all da best and i hope you do get it as for the savings account that am 100 percent sure cause thats what i use all the tyme.

ciao

nkc:
thanks guys,

see d thing is if i can use a savings account, i might as well use mine, if they will allow

graduated 2005, nysc ended 2007, presently into IT stuff(have always been_ i sell phones and stuff ,laptops etc for those who need) , marketing & selling( nothing like payslips and d likes ), but

i have more than enough in my account for a visit, i occasionally send money out for my stocks, so what is d safest amount i should leave as balance supposing i can use my account.

now it may seem to them that i want to disappear(even me go feel same) so what assures them i am just going for a visit and coming back, i need just 2weeks only. nothing more.

thank you all, thanks

Sumtymes its not about the money in your statement or what ever properties you think you have. once you can make the ECO see the INTEGRITY in your application then you dont have a problem. Now the question is how do i bring out the integrity in my application. COMMON SENCE THINK HARD

@House
Well i think the house should understand that getting a Family Visit Visa takes the Grace of God and common sence just put in what you gat and make sure you prove to the ECO that your actually going for what your applyin for. Funny enough savings, current, only payslip dosent matter. Just make sure your application makes sence to you. A colleague of mine did apply for a british visa with minimum balace of 90k all documents where genuine and he was given 2yrs. And 1 last advice to those applyin for the Family visit visa its always better if you sponsor urselfs thats if ur up to age cus bringing in sponsors makes the story longer.

aLL DA BEST

@Funkybaby
Yes you can apply for a british visa with a savings account i have done it 3trice and it did work for me.

SAM MILLA:
