otokx: It makes sense but op can do a better work. He would have left out those that go for education. Those that are going for health may also get an exemption.
I think the op was only trying to state that there are other countries,even better ones where Nigerians can choose to either go for education or medical treatments.

Actually makes alot of sense to me.
PoliticsUk’s Imposition Of Bond On Nigerian Travelers Is Good For Us by dhardline(op): 7:04am On Aug 10, 2013
Many Nigerians have been complaining about the imposition of bond on Nigerian travelers by UK government and I keep wondering why we are complaining, when in reality they are doing us good.

UK is not a primary producer of any product, hence the cost of their products and services are usually too high. The mad rush of Nigerians to the UK actually results to huge outflow from the Nigerian economy to the UK economy. Worse still is the fact that these huge outflows are from the private pockets of Nigerian citizens, who are most times treated with contempt and disrespect by both the people and government of UK.

Just to give us an idea of how much Nigerians are contributing from their private pockets to the UK economy, I have provided some rough estimates below.

1. Visa Application fees

At least 500 applicants per day, 3 days a week with average fee being N50,000. This is equivalent to annual turnover of N6 billion by the UK visa office in Nigeria. This surely is a very lucrative business.

2. Flight tickets

British carriers BA and Virgin Atlantic operate a total of 4 flights daily from Nigeria with average of 1,600 passengers. If 60 percent of those passengers are Nigerians, that will give us about 1,000 Nigerians per daygoing to the UK. Average cost of promotional economy ticket is N150,000. So daily payout by 1000 Nigerian to British airlines is about N150 million, equivalent to N54 billion per annum

Note that this estimate of 1,000 Nigerians per day does not include travelers on Arik, and other connecting passengers on Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qatar etc. So the estimate of 1,000 Nigerians per day is a very conservative one.

3. Accommodation within uk

At least half of the Nigerian visitors (500) will require Hotel Accommodation for average of 5 days before returning. Average hotel in UK costs N15,000 (£60). This will give us a total of N14 billion per annum

4. Shopping, Entertainment etc

Each visitor will spend money on food, shopping, tours, cinemas, transport etc. For an average of 5 days stay in UK, each individual will spend between N50,000 and N1 million depending on economic status. If we use average of N100,000, we will have an estimated N36 billion per annum.

5. Educational Tourism(school fees)

At least 2000 Nigerians are schooling in the UK. School fees is upwards of N1 million (£4,000) per annum. This gives us about N2 billion per annum.

6. Medical tourism (Medical fees)

At least 500 Nigerian visit UK annually for Medical treatment with each of them spending a minimum ofN500,000 giving us a total of N250 million per annum

TOTALS

Summing up items 1 to 6 will give us estimated N112 billion annual flow from Nigerian travelers to the UK economy. Other Nigerians visiting from other places outside Nigeria have not been included and these estimates are based on perceived minimums.

Effect of the Bond

With the introduction of the bond, Nigerian visitors to UK will reduce. If this reduction is 50%, the UK will be losing at least N55 billion annually from Nigerian travelers.

Conversely, as many Nigerian businessmen become less interested in travelling to the UK, their UK partners will have no option than to come to Nigeria, thereby spending onthe Nigerian economy.

From all indications, UK is the party that is actually benefiting from the mad rush of Nigerians to UK. However the unfortunate irony here is that these folks are making it appear as if they are doing Nigerians a favour.

If I am to offer an opinion here, I will say “Let Them Bring It On” and let’s see who will lose at the end of the day.

I've been pondering this for a while now,we hear of how footballers,actors,music artist abroad are held and prosecuted for not paying tax cause those countries are fully aware that they make huge amount of money from their biz and hence are required to pay tax.But here in Nigeria this entertainment guys make so much and flaunt it in our faces and no one can really say if they pay due tax for their income or do they just earn the money buy cars and drive on the same road built with the tax the ordinary nigerian pays?just asking

Hezron Lorraine: why are your types always quick to quote the bible to buttress ur misconceptions of the scriptures.
I've never opened any of those str8 intimacy threads that contain a lot os s.exual perversion and find your types quoting the bible against those forms of immorality.once its gay-related,u'll flood in like an opened dam to preach.it is permitted for a str8 to be immoral in thoughts and actions but gays must be condemned upon sight.
Heaven help ur ignorance.
heaven has definitely helped my ignorance if I was that way before i thank God for his mercy and showing me the way and opening my eyes to the truth.so if you sleep,wake and eat on NL and presume that i dont talk against the issues you stated then maybe you should scroll a lil thru my post just as i did with yours only to discover it was you posting pictures of gay love.we can never all be the same but endeavor to be on the right path.

Always be sure of what you state.Nigeria is totally against this evil way of life,bill have been passed against it but we still hear in the news cases of men forcefully sticking their tools in another mans anus without his consent imagine how viral this crime will go if such homosexualism becomes legal.most ladies who get raped by men find it difficult coming out to report such matters but now try replacing the scenerio with man rapes man,imagine the shame and humiliation to follow.please listen to the news more and see how bad things have gone already please dont make it worse.

Endeavor to leave the world a better place than how you met it and for those of you who feel its better to leave it more disorganised than how you met it dont worry continue,keep aiding the devil,add your quota to ensure that the number of gay men increase cause tomorrow your straight sons will definitely cry home to you telling you how he was gang raped by a group of men and your daughters will definitely suffer the same fate.its what you preach so be ready to reap the fruits of its outcome.

Romans 1:26-27
New International Version (NIV)
26.Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.27.In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.28. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worth while to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.32. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
