Awesome first half by the girls. The hustle and shots have been really good. The US team haven't been making shots and we just making alot of turnovers. But all in all it's been a very good first half

I've been to various shows and I was at this. I will categorically tell you this shows production definitely worth the quoted price. And it's definitely a unique show different from the norm we usually see.

These pictures look "weak", looks more like family reunion dinner than a show they hyped so bad and "allegedly' spent over "300 million" angry

Hello sir, was your UK host (your sister) called by the ECO? The UK sponsors are usually called...

Maybe the poser is naive about UK immigration laws. His son is technically a British Citizen even though he was born in Nigeria after the father must have acquired his own citizenship. He can be registered as a British Citizen if born before his father become a UK citizen since he still under 18 years. However, his son is not entitle to a British passport if his father aquired his own citizenship by registration. I advise the poster to go read about British Citizenship by birth!

The exact reason why i didn't apply for him.
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by dayosaba: 4:25pm On Aug 22, 2017
Hello house,
My Sons visit Visa was refused Though i will be making a fresh application immediately. He applied alongside my wife on July 4. while his has been decided, my wife's is still pending.

The Decision states:
You state you will visit the Uk with your parent (Singular. While in the application it was stated both parents). In light of their(plural) refusal (Yes my wife was denied also in 2015 but she reapplied alongside my son,. Moreso, i am a Uk citizen with a copyof my passport attached to hisdocuments, so how was ever possible for me to be denied). I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry for a purpose that is permited by the visitor routes or that you intend to leave the UK on completion of your visit(i Run a private hospital and i attached a letter stating my position as well as the CAC of the hospital. Also stated clearly we are going for a Family vacation). I am not satisfied that there are sufficient funds to adequately cover the cost of your visit and maintain and accomodate you for the duration of your visit, or meet the cost of your onward or return journey(Bank statements of over 8million and sponsorship was attached, likewise a letter, bank statement and utility bill from our host(my sister) in Uk were also attached). I am not satisfied that adequate arrangements have been made for your travel to , reception and care in the Uk......

Any future visa applications you make will be considered on their individual merits, however you are likely to be refused unless;
1. your person circumstances change significantly between now and your next application.
2. you provide compelling new evidence with your next application.

Note: This application is for a 10month Old ooo.

Yes she was once denied in 2015 and she never got a mail stating the 15 working days target.
TatPat:


Has your wife been refused a uk visa before?
Did she also get the email that says they won't be able to meet the 15 workings days target?
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by dayosaba: 6:54pm On Aug 18, 2017
Apparently my wife got this same message this afternoon. the annoying part is she applied alongside our son and our sons has been decided on 14th of august. Biometrics was done July 4
demashi:
Got this earlier today as well.. I guess we are on the decision queue now

Dear Sir/Madam



Thank you for applying for a UK visa.



We wrote to you recently to explain that we have been unable to make a decision on your application within our normal timescale. Due to it being our busiest period, I am afraid we need longer to make a decision.



Please do not go to the Visa Application Centre until you have received written confirmation that a decision has been made on your application and that your passport is ready to be collected. Staff at the visa
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by dayosaba: 5:55pm On Aug 16, 2017
Same timeline as yours. Wife and Son applied. Son's decided and Wife still pending though she was denied the last time she applied in 2015.
Hope her's would be decided soon as well, though our travel date has passed.
McGibson:
@ Ekpotek, justwise, tatpat

biometric on July 4th at ikeja
received messages accordingly
just checked with my GWF..... now
decided on 14th August.

Foreign Affairs / Brexit: UK Votes To Leave EU In Historic Referendum by dayosaba: 7:02am On Jun 24, 2016
The UK has voted to leave the European Union after 43 years in a historic referendum.
Leave won by 52% to 48% with England and Wales voting strongly for Brexit, while London, Scotland and Northern Ireland backed staying in the EU.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage hailed it as the UK's "independence day" but the Remain camp called it a"catastrophe".
The pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 as the markets reacted to the results.

The referendum turnout was 71.8% - with more than 30 million people voting - the highest turnout at a UK election since 1992.
Wales and the majority of England outside London voted in large numbers for Brexit.
Labour's Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the Bank of England may have to intervene to shore up the pound, which lost 3% within moments of the first result showing a strong result for Leave in Sunderland and fell as much as 6.5% against the euro.
'Independence day'
UKIP leader Nigel Farage - who has campaigned for the past 20 years for Britain to leave the EU - told cheering supporters "this will be a victory for ordinary people, for decent people".
Mr Farage - who predicted a Remain win at the start of the night after polls suggested that would happen - said Thursday 23 June would "go down in history as our independence day".
He called on Prime Minister David Cameron, who called the referendum but campaigned passionately for a Remain vote, to quit "immediately".

A Labour source said: "If we vote to leave, Cameron should seriously consider his position."
But pro-Leave Conservatives including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove have signed a letter to Mr Cameron urging him to stay on whatever the result.
Labour former Europe Minister Keith Vaz told the BBC the British people had voted with their "emotions" and rejected the advice of experts who had warned about the economic impact of leaving the EU.
He said the EU should call an emergency summit to deal with the aftermath of the vote, which he described as "catastrophic for our country, for the rest of Europe and for the rest of the world".
Germany's foreign minister Frank Walter Steinmeier describes the referendum result as as "a sad day for Europe and Great Britain".
But Leave supporting Tory MP Liam Fox said voters had shown great "courage" by deciding to "change the course of history" for the UK and, he hoped, the rest of Europe.
And he called for a "period of calm, a period of reflection, to let it all sink in and to work through what the actual technicalities are," insisting that Mr Cameron must stay on as PM.
Exit process
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said that the EU vote "makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union" after all 32 local authority areas returned majorities for Remain.

London has voted to stay in the EU by around 60% to 40%.
However, no other region of England has voted in favour of remaining.
The referendum has underlined the social and cultural gap between London and provincial England.
Remain's defeat seems to have been primarily the product of the decisions made by voters living north of the M4.
Throughout the Midlands and the North of England the level of support for Remain was well below what was required for it to win at least 50% of the vote across the UK as a whole.
Britain would be the first country to leave the EU since its formation - but a leave vote will not immediately mean Britain ceases to be a member of the 28-nation bloc.
That process could take a minimum of two years, with Leave campaigners suggesting during the referendum campaign that it should not be completed until 2020 - the date of the next scheduled general election.

The prime minister will have to decide when to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would give the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal.
Once Article 50 has been triggered a country can not rejoin without the consent of all member states.
Mr Cameron has previously said he would trigger Article 50 as soon as possible after a leave vote but Boris Johnson and Michael Gove who led the campaign to get Britain out of the EU have said he should not rush into it.
But they also said they want to make immediate changes before the UK actually leaves the EU, such as curbing the power of EU judges and limiting the free movement of workers, potentially in breach the UK's treaty obligations.
The government will also have to negotiate its future trading relationship with the EU and fix trade deals with non-EU countries.
In Whitehall and Westminster, there will now begin the massive task of unstitching the UK from more than 40 years of EU law, deciding which directives and regulations to keep, amend or ditch.
The Leave campaign argued during a bitter four-month referendum campaign that the only way Britain could "take back control" of its own affairs would be to leave the EU.
Leave dismissed warnings from economists and international bodies about the economic impact of Brexit as "scaremongering" by a self-serving elite.
Health / Four Of The Worst Cities In The World For Air Pollution Are In Nigeria by dayosaba: 8:59am On Jun 01, 2016
The word "Africa" often evokes romantic images of elephants crossing the Kalahari, thundering water at Victoria Falls, or panoramic views from Table Mountain.

But an increasingly common sight for Africans -- especially those in Nigeria -- is that of smog, rubbish and polluted water, according to a new report.
Four of the worst cities in the world for air pollution are in Nigeria, according to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Onitsha -- a city few outside Nigeria will have heard of -- has the undignified honor of being labeled the world's most polluted city for air quality, when measuring small particulate matter concentration (PM10).
A booming port city in southern Nigeria, Onitsha recorded 30 times more than the WHO's recommended levels of PM10.

Named and shamed
The other three cities named and shamed in the WHO report for high PM10 levels are the transport hub of Kaduna, in the north, which came fifth, followed by the cities of Aba -- in sixth place -- and Umuahia, in 16th position, which are both trade centers in southern Nigeria.

Last year, the World Bank reported that 94% of the population in Nigeria is exposed to air pollution levels that exceed WHO guidelines (compared to 72% on average in Sub-Saharan Africa in general) and air pollution damage costs about 1% post of Gross National Income.
The WHO study tracked the growth in the two different sizes of particulate matter, PM10 and PM2.5, per cubic meter of air.
PM2.5 particles are fine, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers (µm) to more than 40 micrometers, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
PM10 particles are less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter.
Nigeria did not feature in the top 10 for PM2.5 levels.

Why is Nigeria so polluted?
The cause of Nigeria's pollution problem is a complex story.

"The contributing factors to pollution are a reliance on using solid fuels for cooking, burning waste and traffic pollution from very old cars," Dr Maria Neira, WHO Director, Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health, tells CNN.
At home, due to unreliable electricity supplies, many Nigerians rely on generators, which spew out noxious fumes often in unventilated areas.
On the street, car emissions go unregulated.
Neira adds: "In Africa, unfortunately, the levels of pollution are increasing because of rapid economic development and industry without the right technology."
Indeed, Nigeria's economy has raced forward in the past decade, overtaking South Africa as the continent's largest economy in 2014, following a recalculation of its GDP.
Agriculture, telecoms and oil are all driving this growth -- at a certain environmental cost.


Steps towards a solution
The latest WHO report may highlight Nigeria, but the true story in other parts of the African continent remains unknown.
The report only included pollution levels from cities with a population of over 100,000 residents that monitor their pollution levels -- something many African cities don't do.
"We need to do an assessment of the sources of pollution at city level, also work on better planning of urban collective transport systems, and take very old cars out of service," says Neira.
"Regarding the four cities in Nigeria, we would actually like to praise them. They are at least monitoring the pollution levels, others are not even monitoring the air, we know that some are very polluted.
"These four cities are moving towards taking action to reduce pollution."
With more than 50% of the world's population predicted to live in African cities by 2030, according to global accounting firm KPMG, the health of the continent's urban areas is a key concern.

Thank you sir, will look into it, am not just a fan of seating long in airports in the name of connecting flight.
I also saw Medview now runs a direct flight to LGW airport. Anybody's got any experience on this route?
@justwise, you are sure doing a good job on this forum though I hate to admit you let the pressure get to you at times, but you still remain one of the more rational mods on NL, just try and understand imperialebony &phardy view points. Even in the most perfect human system, imperferctions can still be spotted and this include the UK system. Furthermore both of you (justwise and imperialebony) are providing good counsels on this page, pls let there be no bad blood biko.

foxvilles:
Its obvious most nairalanders don't understand her point of view.
She's not balderdashing Olajumoke, she's talking about the people surrounding her and exploiting her progress in monetary or contract terms.

Like she said.....if Olajumoke is not careful, she might lose everything, she's trying to tell olajumoke to Wisen up and be careful of the vultures surrouding her.

So if she isnt throwing shades at her, why is she saying her mum sells pomo and her husband a driver. That seems pretty glaring enough

The road actually gets to ogbomoso b4 it terminates in ilorin. So there is definitely a link. I also served in ogbomoso 2010-2011 and d road was under construction, though it got to oyo as at the. But i agree the oyo ogbomoso road was a death trap.
