Hey guys, let this guy land before una kill  am, now, I can see that the majority of the house are sceptical of the heat situation, now he might decide to use someother materials to build it, however,between heating a house and cooling a house, which is hardest? heating is more expensive, now if people can heat a whole city, why  do you guys think its a big problem cooling few units of houses,, Dear Poster, there is a program here in the Uk about Housing called grand Design,I watch it a lot when I get the time to,in one episode, I saw an underground cooling system built in one of the houses and its a natural cooling system,I will get the ilustration and post it here OK, just don't have it now at the moment,Everyone plz remain positive,Big things Na gwan in our  New Country get in the right click and you will feel it.

Last poster you go kill me with tory, my coligues where looking at me in my office as if i have gone mad after I read your post
, you are quite right,there are fakes everywhere in Nigeria, but we all are forgetting something,its not fake, its just sub-standard as the poster rightly said.Even here in the Uk, there are substandard goods as well,its everywhere in the world, recently Ebay was fined billions for allowing people sell substandard goods and furged goods on its site.
I have a four flats of 4 bedroom in my towm, during the building process, I personally bought all the wares and made sure I got what I want, Now if guys in Nigeria that have big heads, they can do that.
The solution to this is quite clear, the seller in the shop would clearly tell you which is substandard and which is topgrade,so if nigerians stop having this atitude that they are to big to go to the shop, they could simply pay for the labour of building thier house and go with the contractor or builder to the hardware shop and get quotes and by his own wares as he wants it thereby he could have whatever standad mentained as he wants.These are what goes on here in the Uk, but the difffrence here is, when you do anysort of work for someone, building, mechanic or what have you, you give a gaurantee so if you use fake parts, you are stuck and you will have to redo it again without pay.

YOU guys are missing what the initial poster said, he has a VIRUS, he dont even know what kind, now if its a new kind of VIRUs hows is the antivirus gonna work especialy in Nigeria eh, here in the developed world we dont use CD based antivvvirus we use networked ones ie, paid subscription to something like Mcafee, fru online,, but then again ours are on net 24/7 so get regular updates,

Now like the other guy said, if you have files you cant do without then take you HD toa technician to retrieve your files,
but in all, you cna only get rid of it by reformating and you got windows XP CD handy

now that dont always solve the case as we have what we call Boot Sector Virus, now that one resides in ur motherboard, thats Death of a PC grin grin cos in other for any technician to repair it, virus might transfer themselvs from your system to thiers, hard work abi

I understand waht you where saying my friend but I all, I would put some light into it, you know everyone in the globe is reading this,as far as Nigeria is concern, we have few or no fake building materials, what we realy have is uncontroled way we build our houses, Now what I mean by this is, Cheap tiles does not constitute or compromise the overall safty of your hoes, niether do sanitry wares, or plumbing.Now all these things have the best and the crapest in Nigeria, depends on howmuch you wanna spend, same goes here in the UK,now the major problem we have in Nigeria is shady worksmen,
for example if it takes 3 bags of cement and 20 head pans of sand to make 50 bricks, ie (4x6)inch, just estimate though, lets say thats a standard, there would be some stupid bricklayer who wanna use same ammount to make 70 bricks to make more money, so I think its more to do with the atitude of our builders and government in its part creat a quality control initiative or make them into law so we have standards in the building industry.What do you recon my friend?

Lie Tbaba, with your concent they can, we have freedom of information Act here, Banks are responsible to that, they only check to see if the name and account holder are valid, anf fax them a copy of the statement 4 the Bank to validate, they only have to say yes its real or Nop it aint,Using a British Sponsor is the best option as you dont need mega money to be in the account, the Agency advicing you not to use the britih account, are they in turn offering you someone to give you a nigerian account?
man those guys just make things complicated.

I will Try.

My mother collected tax return. It was $1000. It depends on how much money You make and how much kids or dependents You have. Some People in the US usually fake having many kids to get a higher tax returns.

The Rich are Tax way more than the average. Bill Gates pays more money in Taxes than the average John.

Taxes in America includes:

Income Tax- tax withheld from your salary

Payroll Tax- generally refers to two kinds of taxes: Taxes which employers are required to withhold from employee's pay, also known as withholding, Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) or Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) tax; and taxes which are paid from the employer's own funds and which are directly related to employing a worker, which may be either fixed charges or proportionally linked to an employee's pay.

LVT or Land Value Taxation- is a tax that charges landholders a portion of the unimproved value of a site or parcel of land.

Sales Tax- is a consumption tax charged at the point of purchase for certain goods and services.
Ex, If You buy a 50 cent candy in my state, the price will probably come up to 57 cent. Sales Tax varies by state.

Value added tax (VAT), or goods and services tax (GST),
is tax on exchanges. It is levied on the added value that results from each exchange. It differs from a sales tax because a sales tax is levied on the total value of the exchange.

A flat tax (short for flat rate tax) is a tax system with a constant rate. Usually this would refer to household income, and possibly corporate profits as well, being taxed at one marginal rate.



If i made a mistake, feel free to add or change.
All these tax you just mentioned are same here in the Uk just called something diffrent, your mum collected what we call Working family Tax credit,these are relative to the amount you earn and howmany kids you have, if you earn too much you can't claim that, you outgrown the catigory
These Tax are totally diffrent from Tax return OK! you can Only Claim Tax return if you have been over charged Tax if you work and get paid salary or you provide proof of expenditure for you  Biz,Ie transport cost some bills to the tax office and you taxation is re-worked, then you can get refunds in all that OK!

I think the poster meant £11,150.

How did I forget about the TV licence?

And come to think of it, evasion of any payment lands you in court and/ or jail and ruins your credit file.

How about deposit on rented property?

I had to shell out £749 as deposit last October for my place. I can't stop thinking about the 'interest' grin grin grin that  amount would generate if it was sitting my savings account.  urgghhhhhhhhhh!

In the US, every January the people that pay taxes gets tax refunds from the government.

Do it happen in the UK?
Hi there, Have you ever collected tax return in the US personally? here in the UK, you can only do that when you own your own Biz, or have been overcharged in tax etc, So if our system is diffrent from yours in the states, please tell us how it works, cool

Because he has been refused twice does not mean he will be refused again. They will vet all his subsequent applications for loose ends.

If his reasons for concealing the fact that he had a previous passport and had been denied a visa before are as he stated on here, he's still got a chance.

If they think or have proof that the reason he concealed that information was because he has been involved in 'dodgy business', overstayed his previous visas, or had been deported previously, chances are that he would be refused.

Applying for a US or Canadian visa, will they not ask him if he had he has ever been refused a visa to any other country before and for the reasons why? If they find any 'skeletons in his cupboard', he won't be going no where. His good or bad deeds/reputation will follow him.
I understand what you are on about firstly, if he has been refused two times well the reason for his refusal stays on his file for life cos they got his finger prints right, now on the other hand even if he says to Can or US clearance officers, they dont have this details ie finger prints in thier data base yet, the reason he wsa refused them two times would always score him low.

@ Rezza

If your stories add up this time, you'll probably get the visa.

I only hope you received guidance when you filled in your last application form.

If your application is rejected this time, It doesn't stop you from applying again. Your subsequent applications will only be thoroughly vetted given your 'history of not being a credible witness'.

Best of luck!
Hi, no disrespect to your advice, its all good,I can tell you that he is going to be refused, harsh, but thats the truth and the reality on ground,probably take them 3-5 years to re access his file and data, the reason he was refused last time was logged,this are the typical reason they brought this finger printing Biz,in the old days he would have done a new passport abi,Dont you think since this guy is still  sane, he should gather his resources and face Cana or US? and if he so much like Uk,l8r he can arrange himself to come here once settled,just a suggestion though,hope it helps.

Hellow All,

I have applied for UK student VISA in 2006 two times and i was denied because the said they are not sure if i will return after study and my sponsor's statement of account was irregular  as they claimed.

Now i have paid for my fees in another school and i intend applying by November but my problen is that i don't have a sponsor that have about 3m in his account although i want to use my own personal account that i have about N800,000.00, can my sponsor have btween N800,000.00 to 1m in his account? a personal account not company.
my course is a professional course not accademics ABE Advanced Diploma in Business Administration and fees is 1400 pounds and you will pay 400 pounds as an initial payment.

please someone should help me because i want to make the necessary effort to get my VISA this time around by his grace
Regards.
My friend, the Uk dont realy tell you howmuch the want to be in your sponsor's bank account,anyway, can I ask,do you have anyone who is legit in the Uk and has a full time job? all he/she needs to have is pay slip and proof of address ie bills and his passpor digi page, and if not try in your altimate best to prove you gonna go back onc eyou complete your schooling
otherwise, look for someone with regular income in Nigeria and do deal with them
hope this helps.
