Pants was never in the bible as to what a man has to wear . . . .in those days, men were wearing even gowns. . .

Guy i tire oh, Im waiting for them to come quote that verse for me.

newmusic:
it is not easy to start business here in nigeria,some peaple are just talking about starting a business,it is really hard men.

I chose to dissagree with you, its is quite very easy to start Biz in 9ja, we are an emerging economy with loads of potential,there aint no bunch of laws guiding you opening up your Biz like we have in the Uk and US, but what i think that seem to be the problem is nothing more than innitial CAPITAL.

Its not, its just that Agents got a way round giving you deals,but always go on line to the Airline's website in the first instance get thier price ,then go to the Agents and see which is the cheapest lol works for me.

@Poster
you cant have your Mum as your sponsor if you are applying to tour the Uk more so if denied you have limited rights to appeal,you can only do this under racial descrimination or article 8.

Maverick05:
Inivitation letter, data page, but no proof of income as i have the last 6months to prove my income!

well you would need his proof of income as he is inviting you,did he not state that he would be responsible for your wel being in the invitation letter? more so did he include proof of address?

I can see some people are living in the dark ages still,at 20 some adults here are caling her still young?are you Older girls prayingher to be 27 be having a bf? cos if she is 20, it takes at least 5 yrs to get fru uni in 9ja, thats if there aint no strike,mine was nearly 7 yrs lol now she will be26 plus then going for guys who are willing and able to settle down early 30s abi? now at that point she got just about 12 yrs to do the child bearing thing, girl wise up oh,grow with your bobo, if he no make am you go make am,having a bf is far more than just sex etc,there is mutual friendship of the highest order,you got someone you could trust and rely on and much more,once you are 18 you are an adult,so plese ladies and gentlemen stop telling her she is still young.

and I will like to ask, this sponsor or the persn inviting you, did he give you any evidence of proof of addresss? or income? cos you said you have an invitation letter.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=413009.msg5708440#msg5708440 date=1268788419]It seems we are both arriving at the same conclusion, but let me clarify with your example, If you are speaking to a bunch of Nigerian kids and you mentioned "tomorrow is a bank holiday" they will probably react with a hun?? and that will be understandable, but if you had said "tomorrow is a public holiday" I'm sure very few will be confused about what you mean, that is the difference as I understand it.

You and I know that lastname and surname means the same thing, but for a company like Virgin Atlantic they shouldn't have assumed that, then charge their customers 30pounds. It has nothing to do with the ignorance of customers, I can totally understand why that will be confusing. Virgin should have done their home work better, lastname is correct but surname would have been better and less confusing or better still, write one and place the other in parenthesis, I've seen this on forms before, a good company should have thought about that. Western Union did. Virgin did not.

nice talking to you though.[/quote]well true though, but I would like to think not until someone write a letter of suggestion to them, this urgly act would continue.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=413009.msg5706424#msg5706424 date=1268768057]Really? Nigeria is not a country that is serious about data and statistics, so I will offer a "guesstimation" based on what I believe is sensible. If you attended school in Nigeria, even if it's just Primary 1(grade 1) you will know that surname = your father's name, that is how we are taught based on the British English tradition used in Nigeria, that is what Nigerians expect to see on forms used in Nigeria, that should be a no brainer, if you attended school in Nigeria you will know.

So, that was prob. why the OP asked "why didnt they just say surname" this has nothing to do with ignorance, you are expecting too much if you think Nigerians should know a convention that is foreign to theirs. Virgin should have done their homework like W/U did.

Lastname is not the normal British English way of writing[b] Father's name[/b] and Virgin should know that. That long line of Nigerian travelers can't be that silly, ignorant and wrong. Virgin is the ignorant one here.[/quote]man just check what you wrote up there, now if OP was flying Nigerian Airways or virgin nigeria then its all good, he was flying virgin atlantic,a british based airline, so what do you expect? and mainwhile they Uk sometimes use Surname as well as last name and in all of our bank Cards, first name comes first b4 last name, thats where and how its being derived, its not a form of international standard, its like we saying bank Holiday while in Nigeria its called public holiday.copy that?

lol its all good, mine took ages.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=413009.msg5698718#msg5698718 date=1268677872]Why do Nigerians have to pay for the incompetencies of these foreign companies?

I guess they believe we deal with it everyday from Nigerian companies and service providers so why bother to offer them better services.

Any serious business should know that Surname is the word for lastname in most countries with a British English tradition. Thought Virgin is a British company BTW.
Even Western Union, an American company, printed Surname on their Nigerian forms while the same form in the USA has Lastname.

Virgin Atlantic should be apologizing for not offering country specific services, rather, they are charging Nigerians 30 pounds for their own error. That is just plain wrong.[/quote]I would suggest you re-read what OP wrote in his post, he had made a mistake by writing down his surname as first name and therfore had been chrged for a change of name,some airline like Luftanza migh cancel his ticket alltogether or rather if it was a a promotional ticket he would have lost his ticket as such ticket are non-changable or reundable,the issue is the ammount and the manner in which the go about these trapped charges are totaly rediculos

Well these things takes time,just keep mailing the BHC Abuja or the BDHC.Lagos

[quote author=Mr. Cartha link=topic=413332.msg5698517#msg5698517 date=1268676147]My dear Bro, my attack was for a defence that need be. It pisses me off when I read pple write like they r out of this world. If Andrew check out na who go rule?! We are all a part and parcel of this bullshit. Every1 of us as Nigeriansare guilty of 1 sin or d other. Abi u no dey piss for roadside?[/quote]No I B aje butter lol

mekusxxx:
Are we also getting garri, akpu and amala from the north? what about ugu leaf, okro, egusi, bitter leaf and cray fish? Can we manage on these until the North cries for our patronage again?

Oga mecus,I tire oh see all these abokis,immagine them go strike, dem go beg just you wait,they dont know there is such a thing as controlled farming, dem go bah say tomato will grow in the south, we have anogh chiken/fish and bushmeat in the south,make dem eat thier cows or beter still sleep with em.

whiteroses:
^^ do naija men know pinks not for men?? i dont think they do come redeem in okota you will see grown as/s couple in pink traditional attire, blasting their perfume as they stroll down the congregation thinking the whole church dey envy them but us they laugh at the pink idea. btw whats naija peeps and perfume?? i know its off topic but i cant help but wonder, like mr odetoyinbo and his wife gives the fattest tithe and offering at church, wears the best lace and most expensive cars, one day i swear they got off their hummer and i saw him quickly sprays himself and his wife with perfume, is it just so its fresh and we'd smell it as he walks down to the front i wanna know the motive

Exactly, hence I said this post would only hold water in the western world where Pink and Purple are girly colour lol in 9ja the ain't nothing like feminine or masculine colours.

haba Mr Cartha,give the young man a break, he is just voicing his thoughts, anyway like I said, I dont think the leaders of today can do anything more than they have already done cos they are a recycled fools who hang or wanna hang unto power like Mogabe,for starters we dont even have anough police to police the state and the few ones we have we all know what thye do, the are more intrested in howmuch bribe money they can get per seconds.

Wise decision, anyone who sells share should never get into that position cos they would manipulate it to their favour

sulad82i:
I second that. Its a new development really. I guess 9ja arm robbers need to patent that lol
But on a more serious note, this country is just getting bad and badder. I was considering relocating to Nigeria after I finish school but I guess I'll stay in America until those fukking leaders of our do something

trust me, those idiots you call leaders aint gonna do enything to improve the situation,they just gonna mind thier heads and satisfy thier imidiete selfisnes,its only ordinary people like me and you who could do anything to better that jungle called Nigeria

lol @ poster you got caught out, they say this money goes towards administrative charges, now did you pay in naira or pounds? anyway, just understand the terminology next time,know what first name and last name means, its same fru out the whole Airline industry, you pay to change your name however forward or backward as the case may be.Its a standard practice.

WEll I think most people here are getting it wrong, in the advance world or rather western world, there aint no way you can not get into debt,for example having a mortgage is getting into debt but its managable,now B4 you could get a mortgage you have to get a credit history which means credit cards and overdraft plus unsecured loans,now as you can see debt is an everyday thing I would wanna think that %80 of Legal adults in the Uk live on debt

@Poster, your topic would only hold water with the western world lol no be dudu.

lol guys cant you See what is going on? with new developments comes new problems, now the armmed men just realised that if they go on road blocks they get nothing more than mobile phones few bucks  and jewels,if they raid home same thing they cant go near banks cos of extra security   and to kidnap oyibo hard these days, to steal cars now no easy so they diverted their skills to a more softer target, kidnapping innocent people or rich people, na wah oh, God will help us,they should make this kidnap bill a reality,that is capital punishment once found guilty of kidnapping.

why are we al being taken for a ride by these idiots called EFCC,anybody here mind telling me if IBORI stole more money than OBJ? plz if you think so plz come 4ward,or rather tell me why aint the EFCC not doing same to OBJ, are all these not misplaced priorities? wasting of public resources on things they already know and can do nothing about cos it ties them too?

Th Hausa people are very funny lol on strike indeed,man I'm from the delta,down there, we got loads of meals the prepare without tomato, we have Banga Soup, Ogwo soup, Ogbolo Soup etc, as far as I know the main meals they prepare with tomato are Stew for rice and a lil bit for Egusi soup, but I'm sure tomato puree would substitute, or like someone rightly said here, someone might decide to import tomato puree from turkey lol,what a stupid decision by the north who know lil or nothing about makt forces or the rule of demand and supply ,oya Igbo importers, your time has come.

looking for an activation Key

Try mine you might be lucky FJGCP-4DFJD-GJY49-VJBQ7-HYRR2

thank you so much,I will try it, you just saved me a hell of a trouble.

Vicjustice:
The reason for the refusal of your visa application is not a devastating one, you were refused on the basis of financial inconsistency.
I do understand that perhaps you're worthy of the tour visa because you seem to be capable of maintaining yourself whilst in the UK, yet, you seem to have made a mistake by not preparing your financial evidence in the mode or formation that is acceptable to the visa officer; you see, things are easier when done orderly.
Unfortunately, this application does not attract the full rights of appeal, otherwise, you would have had enough time to compile further evidence of finance to present during appeal. Now, what you can do is to let it go and give it up to six months to enable you build up a bank account statement that should display evidence of income wages and salaries: avoid money lodgement because, this is automatic ground for visa refusal.
Now, considering the reasons of which the visa was refused, you obviously stand a good chance of getting the visa in your next application provided you do some genuine work to your bank statement. Please, avoid using anything fake or misleading so you won't have to forget about the UK for ten years if not forever.

you have said it al, in addition,all he has to do is address al the issues the ECO highlighted for refusing the application,good luck to poster,just realax and build your credit CV for the next 6-7 months then you are good to go

denzel2009:
Yeah whats up?
