Please do advice if there is more things to be done to make the application successful this time.

You dont need to get hotel in central london. Hotels is central london are very expensive. There are some couple of hotels in IIFORD which is very closed to central london and straford. Hotel names like, CRANFORD HOTEL, BRITANNIA INT HOTEL, BARKING HOTEL, BANKS HOTEL, ROSSMORE HOTEL, CITYBEST ETC. They are cheaper and closer to C.London

[quote author=amaboss]My elder brothers decided to check if my mom was just over reacting or if her suspicions were true; and lo, my dad was being promiscuous. We comfronted him a lot of times and he kept denying having a mistress. We brought a lot of evidence against him from text messages sent to a number and text messages received from that number, yet he denied them all.

This your story sound fake. How old are you? GSM services started in Nigeria like 12yrs ago for you to get a lot of evidence against your dad from text messages. Your story composition is too good to be real for you to be the son. dat means your age is between 6 and 8 since GSM started in naija like 10 to 12yrs ago.

My married friend abstained and believed he was getting married to a tire rubber,but on the first night of their conjugal,upon entering the pot,no pot hole,no bump talkless of checking point was noticed.It took just one week for them to go their seperate ways.

With all sincerity, it not easy. My wife was a virgin when i met her and i wasnt and she insist on no sex before marriage. Since i was in love with her and we courted for 5yrs before getting married, i got no choice that to comply.

Since i was not a virgin throughout the the 5yrs i cheated on her without letting her know. We are married now and since we got married this year, i have stop playing around. She has everything i needed in a woman. Once you have tasted sex, there is no going back. its not easy abeg.

Popular Lagos-based thrift collector, Pa Alphaeus Olunaike, recently died at the age of 97. FOLARIN SAMSON, who traces the deceased’s foray into the banking system, writes that the man buried in his home town, Isonyin Ijebu, Ogun State on September 22 deserves  to be celebrated

There was an old folk tale about the late Pa Alphaeus Olunaike, a man popular among those living in Lagos and indeed the major part of south-west Nigeria. His name became a tool for parents to extol virtues of wisdom and intelligence and it became so polished with inventive proverbs that it glittered.

A few years back, Nollywood produced a flick to reincarnate his legend on screen. It was the story about a wise man who lived in Somolu, one of the highly populated areas in Lagos State. In a spectacular show of wisdom, he sold the only vehicle he had and procured a bicycle for his itinerant business of thrift collection — called esusu. Esusu is the old system of banking where a man takes daily contribution from people in their homes, offices — and especially markets — and at the end of the month returns their savings to them.

He would ride his bicycle to his many customers, take their daily contributions and,  without any reference to his log book, recount all their savings. Those who ventured to argue with him became awestruck at his phenomenal recollection of statistical details when he opened his record. His mental acuity became a chorus everybody loved to sing in family circles and public discussions. Everyone craved his friendship.

As a result, anyone who showed a sign of wisdom desired to be associated with his name. So, it became fashionable to laud a wise man, “Ori e pe bi Alajo Somolu to ta moto ra keke”, meaning your brain is as sharp as that of Alajo Somolu,  who sold his bus and bought a bicycle.

Baba Alajo Somolu’s story portrays the true Nigerian spirit of industry, honesty and faithfulness. His story should also inspire courage and determination in Nigeria’s teeming young and adult population. Alphaeus Taiwo Olunaike, aka Baba Alajo Somolu, was born at a time it was an abomination for women to be delivered of more than a single baby at a time. He was born a triplet and one of his brothers had to be buried alive to avert the curse of the gods.

That was in September, 1915 in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. The second child also died. Alphaeus was lucky to be the first child, and was spared. He went through life struggling to make ends meet, especially after losing his father at a tender age. He left Isonyin, his home town,  for Lagos and learnt tailoring having had little formal education.

The turning point for him was when he shifted business to thrift collection. At this time, the markets were thriving and needed banking services but could not get any help from the commercial banks. The focus of the banks was the corporate organisations and upbeat individuals in the public service. Olunaike saw this as an opportunity and swiftly moved in to fill the void. He took fixed sums from market men and women every day, paid back in lump sums at the end of the month, and got less than one day’s contribution as earning for his service. He also gave loans for business development without demanding collateral. This was the origin of “people’s banking”.

He operated in many markets, including Sangross, Baba Olosha, Ojuwoye, Awolowo, Oyingbo, Olaleye and Shomolu Market. Olunaike was trusted, loved and respected by his customers. In those days, there were no calculators or computers, yet he could tell his customers exactly what their balance was without any reference to documentation. His customers wished to be as intelligent as “Baba Alajo Shomolu’ when they boasted ‘Ori mi pe bi ti Baba Alajo Somolu”, meaning I am as intelligent as the thrift collector from Somolu.

But very few know that the man whose name became a metaphor for hard-work and intelligence died, only a few months ago and was buried without the publicity and carnival befitting a man who modelled the elusive ideals of our world. This underscores the obvious drift and shift in our value system as a nation that now prefers decorating undeserving citizens in national colours to honouring true heroes.  Mohammed Zakari the civil servant that returned the N6m overpaid him by his employees, the Federal Ministry of Information, illuminated this year’s national award after his name was listed for conferment with MFR for his honesty. It would not have been out of place if a man like Olunaike, as popular as he was, had been sought out and given national recognition for his pioneering efforts and widely acclaimed industry.

The fact is that to give credibility to the yearly tradition of giving national award to Nigerians who have distinguished themselves in one area or the other, the Federal Government may have to consider consulting with the grassroots and not just party chieftains. There are many more Olunaikes who deserve special recognitions. There are many more Mohammeds who may not have the benefit of media publicity. These are the people the government need to put on the centre stage as models for the new generation. A man like Olunaike in Europe or America would not only become a celebrated public figure, but also a national monument that students and scientists alike would be studying and researching on.

The young generation will need to learn from Baba Alajo Somolu’s industry. The late sage was able to identify a need in a despised section of society and he satisfied it. Today, many of his children who also made a living from the same trade despite their education would agree he did the right thing. Like the popular story told by Russell Conwell of Al-Hafed, a farmer who sold his field of diamond and went in search of the same pearl, but died trying, many Nigerian youths are fleeing the country in search of greener pastures when what they craved is only a few metres away.  Many of them do not get rich; they die trying because they fail to realise the wisdom in Lee Lacocca’s words when he said, “We are continuously faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.”

What we need is to unravel it and seek a way to provide the solution. Education may not teach that, but nature does as it did to Olunaike, the famed Baba Alajo Somolu,  who sold his bus to buy a bicycle, not because he was interested in cycling or preparing for the Olympics, but for him to reach the distance that those with cars and great education may never reach. Such a story deserves our attention as a nation. And for me, such a man deserves the place of a national hero.

@VICJUSTICE, this mail is for you:

"Friend, you involved too many unnecessary documents, this alone shows how desperate you are with your lack of confidence.
You can't use a solicitor because you have absolutely no legal ground; a visa is a privilege, not a human rights,: even President Jonathan could be refused a visa.
The problem I see here is with your bank statements, you presented multiple accounts, and the total is N1.3 million, this reveals that you money is scattered all over the banks therefore, your account statements do not meet the required format or standard: this is the main reason that you can't get the visa; and no solicitor can assist you"

This was your reply to my mail some weeks back. Am happy to tell you that, i have been granted visa into the UK for 6months.I actually used a solicitor who drafted a letter to which i added to my application and re-apply for the 3rd time in 3months after 2 refusal.

You made mention that: "a visa is a privilege, not a human rights,: even President Jonathan could be refused a visa" I want tell you a visa is a right if you meet all their requirement. A president of a country can never be refused a visa if the political tie of the two countries are mutual. I wish we can debate this: "if visa is a right or privilege. To me it is a right only if you know your right. I just want to advice you that, stop being harsh on people when they seek for assistant through this medium. Just be polite and calm in your reply.

I still want to say, you are doing a great job, you just need a little customer service training in resolving people queries.

@Jidebobo, i want to thank you for telling me to reduce numbers of document submitted. I wish you all, great success in life endevours. UK: HERE I COME.

Hello All,


Trust you are doing great.

I applied for a UK visa (Tourist) but I was refused visa based on the ground that, I have insufficient amount in my account if they remove N480, 000 from the bank statement i submitted.


I applied with a statement of account of N1.3 million. What surprised me was that, they say the amount is insufficient for 1week tourist visit to the UK.

I included my company’s introduction letter, hotel reservation, annual leave letter, marriage certificate and pictures, bank statement of N1.3million, company’s ID card, landed property inherited, my personal landed property too, rent receipt to show i have other source of income,letter of consent from my wife that shes aware am travelling for holiday e.t.c.

I first applied in April 2012, i was denied based on the ground that N600, 000 deposited into account on the April 6days before applying was suspicious

I re-apply on in May, 2012 which i explained how the money came about, that i withdraw it from my account in may and deposited same day into another acct of mine and i was refused again based on finance aspect again. The ECO state that, 150, 000 was deposited into my acct on 2nd of May and 200, 000 on the 5th of May that he doubt if this money are available for me.

In my form, i filled that i own inherited property from my late mum which i collect rent from

and this money are rent paid. I supported my claim with rent receipts and document of the property inherited and own by myself.

Am seeking for your advice on what to do. I dont want to re-apply and still turn down for the same thing the 3rd time.

I will glad to hear from you soon.

I got advice from people saying that i should invovle a lawyer to write them, some say i should go to their website and seek for administrative review, some say i should get a family or friends abroad to send me invitation letter and i should apply with that while some say i should stay away from them for six months since i have been refused 2wice in 2months. I wil be glad the house CANDID oppinion. I work with one of the Multi-national organisation as a customer service officer.


Thanks
