Zipup007:
Got refused stupid people said reasonable doubts as to the reliability the authenticity of the supporting documents lol

This is strange.

From outside Nigeria?

Cashmadam:
It's fine. Thought it's for just you.

Hi.

For application such as ours for more than one person, is there a part of the online form that allows you to add other applicants as part of the group or each person will have to create account and fill separately

Thanks

MadPolitician:
Then bank of Industry, which is supposed to be the catalyst for rapid industrial revolution across the length and breath of this country, has been turned into a regional bank. According to the investigations of the National Assembly, most of the bank loans were disbursed to businesses around the Lagos/South West areas of the country.

This means that while successive governments warehouse funds in this bank for lending across regions, the leadership of the bank prefers to utilise these funds to develop only areas either favoured by the government of the day, or by the directors of the bank, while other parts of the country rots.

This is so because village politics in this country has turned the banking sector into a feudal reserve of certain enclaves. This becomes even more frightening if you realise that there is no single example of any successful country that has been able to progress without a fair a robust banking system. Nigeria is not one city state like Singapore or Dubai. Nigeria is a multi city state. Everything should not be concentrated in Lagos.

You know how many Igbo get loan from BOI.

Lagos have investors from every where in the world and BOI fund businesses including SunFlag that doesn't belong to Nigerians.

They fund lots of Igbo owed businesses as well based in Lagos

Cashmadam:
Everything seems fine except the amount.

What do you need 5,000 Pounds for?

Father
Mother
6 year old son

What do you think?

Ticket for 3, taken at ₦2,000,000 per person, equalling ₦6m

Remaining £2k for entertainment etc
Accomodation to be provided by brother.

Still do much?

Cashmadam:
Honestly, this question is confusing and I still don't know the correct answer.

When I sponsor my adult children (because they are still my babies ), they put the total cost of the trip.

Some people put their own contribution. In your case, £1000 should be the correct answer based on what I have read others do.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Cashmadam. It's a bit tricky, cos that same part says : Calculate the total cost including accomodation, feeding and transportation. Etc and state how much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK?

See my experience
In March, 2024 my mum applied and I completed the form for her.

I filled the form stating that 3 of us were sponsoring her

I put in my amount in Naira
My uncle put his in Naira
My elder brother (her first born), I inserted £1000 since he was the host and 'inviter'

In the portion, where the subject question was asked, I mistakenly put in ₦2.5m as amount she would be personally spending, which was wrong.

Luckily, she was granted and only just returned back home in June.


My coming trip
I'll be applying later in December and my plan is this.

My company part sponsoring with ₦8million and I'll insert this in the part where it says is anyone sponsoring your trip

Then, I'll insert ₦2m as the part where it says how much are you personally contributing to this trip

CornOak:
It's the money you personally want to spend on the trip and not the entire money . There's another section where you will be asked if anyone is paying towards your visit, this where your sponsor's fund comes in.

How much are you personally spending? £1000
Any additional support? Yes, sponsor is paying £4,000

Ensure to demonstrate the relationship between you and your sponsor and state succinct reasons why they are paying towards your visit.

Also remember to establish solid home ties, such as your asset and employment documents, your family in Nigeria, religious/social affiliations, and more.

Good luck.

Thank you

Good evening guys.

I have two questions

1. How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK? (Does this mean your own out of pocket that you would be spending on the trip or the entire amount that would be spent on the trip)

To make my question clear.

Total cost of trip that includes feeding, travel cost etc is say £5000

I am only going to contribute £1000

My sponsor will pay £4000.

To the above question what's the correct answer?

Asking cos I've seen refusal letters here where the ECO would say 'you stated that your contribution is only £1' and still use the account statement provided to say applicant's financial circumstances in home country is not good enough

Trueigbo:
please how can one appeal visa refusal? do i stand a chance if i appeal

State reasons for refusal

Plannie22:
Congrats! Please did you pay for the premium at TLS or online? Also, is it your first time?

I am a first time applicant I have visited the UK twice and have a valid UK visa. I have also travelled across Africa including South Africa and an Asian country. My appointment date is 26th and I want to travel on the 11th September. I’m really worried about getting my visa before then. I would appreciate if you can respond that the questions please to help me plan. Thank you.

You'll get the visa surely based on travel history.

How long it takes is just not known

Amedak:
So, you mean someone can get married at any marriage registry in Nigeria? Thank you.

Ikoyi is a federal marriage registry. Any other marriage registry in Lagos are state or Local government registry.

Reason why almost every one marrying comes down to Ikoyi.

I don't know if that if embassy rejection is through, but I just stared the difference between Ikoyi and other marriage registries

https://ecitibiz.interior.gov.ng/marriage/registries

There are only 7 Federal Marriage Registries in Nigeria

The best video in how to maintain good balance

PrettyRX:
By the time Tinubu finish 8yrs, na only debts will remain.
VPN to the rescue, then get simcard from Benin republic

Ignorance will kill many of you.

Meta can't try this BS in Europe or in home country USA.

They violated and instead of paying fine, they're threatening. Ignorant folks like you blaming Tinubu

In USA, they paid a fine of $1.4b

Asonaijaaso:
All those people shouting Dangote refinery is going to make prices cheaper.

"He plans to sell at international rates, meaning government will buy it expensive from him and subsidized it for the citizens."

He is a 100% Businessman.
Dont let them drag you into their challenges.
These people dont care about us.

Exactly

I can see a lot of ignorance.

Those who can read are blaming NNPCL and FG

Dangote is a business man and he has no intention of subsidizing anything or helping anyone.

Has he ever sold Cement cheaper than Large and BUA?

That Monopoly thing is real. NNPCL knows what they're saying about Dangote.

nairalee:
nOPAY any money by mistake or enter my OPAY o. Cos even if u call me tire I nOPAY

Be ready to serve prison term.

Under the law in Nigeria, this is a big crime. Matters like this always interest Nigerian Police.

They will track you and recover the money

lalabrother:
After typing the account number, didn't a pop-up message show to you that you've not sent money to such account before and that you should check it before confirming the transaction?

Anyways, reach out to opay and also get a lien order from the court on such account. You might be lucky.

Next time be more attentive when making transactions!

You're the one not attentive.

He's the recipient, not sender.

The sender is supposed to verify before proceeding to send.

Matheusmartin:
...
If u mistake number, u nor suppose mistake the names naaa...


I just tire for una matter

We're always impatient to verify.

But in this regard, he's the recipient and the person that sent him money is the one that should have verified

Which Real Estate Valuer handled this valuation? I want to know so we can sanction the firm

somebody1:
Thank you ma! It is my first attempt.
1. The monthly salary is not constant, in fact at times I earn more than 400k per month. I get most of it in cash from clients. All these I explained in my cover letter which was not considered.
3. Although I am not married, but I have a fiance, my dad and my dad's properties which I am personally managing. I explained all these in my cover letter and even provided evidence. In fact I even provided my current practicing dues receipt to show that I am active in practice.
4. My sister was happy to sponsor my trip because of what she is currently going through( she needed me around as a mother figure for a short period just so she can have comfort after the recent death of our mum) I explained this also in my cover letter.
5. When do you think I should reapply?

ECO not convinced you'll return to Nigeria

No strong ties

Now do you blame marcaronni.

Skit makers now objectify woman. Men go crazy when they see beautiful women, do crazy stuff in these present days skits

This advert was back in the 80s. This particular advert was around 1988 to around 1992, when Ibrahim Babangida was president, and you can see men going crazy too as of then in skits/adverts

Whatever is happening now on our screens started years ago, but was moderate

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
No evidence... Source: my friend said

Monetization of on line content caused all these

kenny714433:
See a clean, clear environment. If it was Nigeria, it would be dusty, dull and uninspiring pictures.


See clean roads na, the meadow, even wild flowers. Well kept lawns with trees. See the architecture.

It's Nigerians not Govt that mess up our environment.

Have you seen how people throw trash out of moving vehicles on highway?

Plastic, nylon, papers. They throw out on the streets

Seun362:
Yes.

A lot of them don't under fiscal matters

lexy2014:
So you mean that tax revenue exceed oil revenue?

Oil revenue gives us highest FX, not highest Revenue.

That's why it's important for many of you to understand fiscal issues.

You just criticise without understanding stuff

PressMyButton:
Three old presidential jets are up for sale to acquire a new one. That's a good bargain.

Very good bargain for a customized Aircraft that suits the status of a President

Penisman:
Probably hell fire was open and Satan decided to release the heatwave.

😂

You see Muritala Mohammed International Airport so how can it be Abuja to PH?

This is local route, not international.

It's interstate travel

stKorea:
Pls house, I'm deemed for an appointment for Thursday next week at tls office, VI..
This will be my first time going there and Infact I'm not that used to going to lagos state letalone VI or lekki whatever but I know from my place here in akure to ojota. ..

As such I'd like to know, the description from ojota to tls office, VI Lagos..

I'll appreciate your candid comment on this please, help a poor boy ejooor 🙏

Etiebet's place is closer to Ojota, you could have chosen Maryland instead. From Ojota, take a bus to either Obalende or CMS and from CMS, take a bus to Ẹkọ Hotel Roundabout.

From Obalende, you can take similar bus to Eko Hotel Roundabout

Cashmadam:
Yes, the whole Nigeria can sponsor one person. The question is: which option will be simpler and cause less confusion?

In this case, 4 people sponsoring, more so they're all her Children, it can make it sail better.

Good luck to her anyway

snowphunmee:
Good day all, please I need your advice. Myself and my siblings, all four of us, intend to sponsor our mum’s trip to the UK. In filling out the form, we have stated our names as the sponsors. Should we all submit our bank statements, or should we transfer the funds to our mum’s account before submitting the visa application?

All four of you can if you do wish

I've joined other sponsors too and the application was a success to sane UK with all of submitting our statements

Cashmadam:
Four sponsors for what exactly? You will cause unnecessary confusion! Three people should transfer their contribution to the fourth person and then the fourth person will act as the sponsor. Count six months from the day after the money was transfered. Don't transfer money to your Mum's account

It doesn't matter.

Even entire community can sponsor one person if they so wish

If you're spending ₦2m and each if her kids decide to out in ₦500k, nothing bad in that
