Family / Re: FCMB MD, Adam Nuru In Sex Scandal - Business Live by Flexvilla: 11:43am On Jan 01, 2021
I cannot believe you entered 2021 without "COMMON SENSE"!...

bukatyne:


I know how things are done in Nigerian banks.

My question: what is the MD's new offence? We know he had an affair with Mrs. Thomas which birthed two kids.

Did he kill Mr. Thomas? Was he the one who took vows of faithfulness with the deceased?

The MD is the side dude in the case and I do not blame the side chics/dudes.

Yes you can travel.Do not fear. I travelled last month with expired TB certificate. Mine expired since April. I also know others who travelled after me too with expired TB certificate. The certificate only needs to be valid on the particular day you put in the application.

But why you no take time read backwards? It's been dealt with b4. Una no dey gree read....

Good morning house.

My Tuberculosis certificate will expire on the 30th of this month and I'm still expecting a decision to be made on my application.

Is it possible to travel with an expired TB certificate? Has anyone here traveled with an expired TB certificate before?

Thank you.

This was a question I asked on July 31, and the uninformed answer I received:
Hello people,

Pls can someone travel with expired TB certificate to UK? The certificate expired due to Lockdown restrictions. Do I have to do a new one?

Zoey1:
It will be rejected

I travelled yesterday to London and the immigration officer never asked me of my expired TB test certificate. So this proves that it is not requested for at the airport. The crowd of arrivals is so much sef that no one has time to ask for mundane requirements. Please always research well before posting answers here as it will mislead people.

I am not really sure that your aunt's name being on the property Inspection report matters as the objective of the report is to state the number of people living in the house in order to meet the space requirements. So I think you should be fine. However you might want to include in your cover letter that your aunty does not live in the house since her name is on the deed. Preferably, it should be written in your uncle's cover letter.

As regards exporting call logs that have wiped off, I am not sure about how to go about it however since you have other whatsapp chats, you can print just a few but it should cover different periods. I wasted so much money printing a lot of whatsapp chats and ended up only submitting three pages for 3 different years cos I used the assisted scanning service and they don't want unnecessary documents. However I also submitted emails for different years and Facebook chats too. please remember to download the pictures of the front-page of your hubby's face showing how you saved his name on your whatsapp and other apps too. See pg 463 where I wrote an exhaustive list of all I submitted and apply relevant info to your case. Please label every document well for clarity.

Wishing you success.


Miele:


Thanks for your response. Yeah I just got the property inspection report today in the mail and her name wasn’t included! The surveyor said he went by the details we gave him when we filled out the online form. I’m livid and he’s not replying our emails!! Should we just explain in the letter that my aunt lives up north and there’s enough space to accommodate us?

One more question, how do you export call logs? Cause the WhatsApp call logs automatically wipe off after a period of time.

Also if anyone can answer this silly question of mine, that would be great!

I saved a few screenshots last year and my husbands name on my phone was different then. I took screenshots this year and it’s a different name (basically from his name to a pet name) do you think it will make a difference when we submit the WhatsApp chats?

I’ve submitted my online application yesterday and I’ll be uploading my documents tomorrow, just want to make sure I’m on the right track.

Concerning the implication of your aunt’s name on the House documents, that I don’t know but what I know is that it will still be stated on the Property Inspectuon Report as the Professional who conducts the inspection will still carry out an online search of the deed anyways to determine the real owners of the property and will state it on the Property Inspection report as was done in my case. Also even if your aunt was still living in the house, based on space requirements, since it is a 3 bedroom house, you will still qualify living there with your spouse. Remember that the living room is also counted as a full room which makes it 4 bedroom and that can still accommodate more people.

So I do not think you should be worried. Your uncle may include it in his letter that your aunt does not live there at the moment and there is more than enough space to accommodate you guys. Anyways the surveyor would have included that in the Property inspection report( ie the number of people living in the house) so you guys will be fine.


Miele:


Yeah I’ve seen cases where people stay with family members and don’t pay rent, so I don’t think that will be an issue.

I’ve just got the house title registry online and my aunts name is still there, will it be weird if I submit it without any mention of her on the property inspection report?
Travel / Re: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by Flexvilla: 2:02am On Sep 09, 2020
Hi Lexusgs430,

Just wanted to do a quick correction on paying rent to a close family member providing accommodation like parents or uncles.

I remember I asked same question before I applied. It is important to know that the UK spouse does not have to pay rent to their uncle, aunt or parents. I applied without my souse paying any rent to her mum. Just like Miele's case, I only submitted letter from my spouse's parent, property inspection report and deed and got the visa without any issues whatsoever. While I understand Lexusgs430 concerns which is good advice, I just want to state that rental payments are not necessary once there is a strong provable bond of kinship.


Lexusgs430:



Are you paying rent? Is he giving you a tenancy agreement?

The ex wife is still a legal owner of that property, removing her name without her consent, is an impossibility...... She is sitting pretty enjoying the value appreciation (but might demand her equity anytime)...........

Travel / Re: Nigerian In Russia-my Experience So Far by Flexvilla: 10:36am On Aug 24, 2020
I wanted to attack you violently on this skinhead issue because that is what stopped me from going to Russia for my masters degree over 14 years ago but you already gave me uppercut when you said that having a problem with the skinheads like dating their girlfriend could lead to them attacking you and I totally agree with you cos I met a Russian halfcast in Dubai whose father is Nigerian and he escaped from Russia to Dubai to complete his Bachellors degree cos the skinheads wanted him dead. He was dating the daughter of their leader in that town. I asked him of the skinhead issue and he showed me several scars on his face and body of how they tortured him and broke his head. I started thanking God that I made the right decision then not to study in Russia.

Although I believe at that time that they were targeting black people whether you had any business with them or not because it was a Russian lady that advised me not to go cos she told me that her conscience will judge her if I am killed or maimed in St. Petersburg cos she knows her people. The fact is that the skin heads were wicked to Africans and people who are not Russians before and the government was complacent about it except things have changed now. At that time it was a thing of chance, you may be unlucky to be attacked and may live there and not be attacked. FACT!

Although you are trying to change the narrative but I still believe that you need to live there for like 15 years and not suffer any attack before you can be confident that you are safe and from your story you seem to have been there for like 3 years. (Correct me if I am wrong).

On the other hand WHY WILL A NIGERIAN GLORY IN LIVING IN ANOTHER MAN’S LAND without “ACTIVELY” developing our own country?? Before you attack me or call me names, my own wife is British but I am heavily invested in Nigeria cos I believe Africa is the NOW and the FUTURE!!!


Austeen007:
The SkinHeadS? ok The Skin heads leader has openly made a statement that their mission isn't in anyway directed towards Africans OR bLACK PEOPLE LIVING IN Russia. and their movement isn't a race thing

I would want you to read about the skin head, make a research about them.

They are very a small group of people who doesn't in no way represent 147 million Russians. This Skins heads who still believes in the Nazi IDEAs Hitler left behind.

They are not ethnically Russians. Their lineage is traced back to the Nazi Germany whom their fore-parents ran away from Nazi Germany around 1940 to 1943.

There's also another small group comprised of the Jews whose parents also recued by the red army from the Nazi Germany and brought them to the USSR.

After the fall of the USSR in 1991, they were all granted citizenship in Russia. Now their offsprings is building such a weird idea.

They have the opinion that Blacks should stop marrying white people. They said we should stop experimenting. But this group is also a very small group thhat has been silenced by the Russian Government. This group is in no way representing the ethnic Slavic Russians or 147 million Russians


Now i want you to ask that your friend who you said was[b] physically attacked[/b] what he did.

Ask him if he meddled with a girl who's dating any of the skinheads?

Or if he sold drugs on their block?

I have heard of the Skin Heads but never encountered them before. But i have seen their protests but this was not of recent.

I have also watched the leader of the skinheads in an interview by an American Social journalist (Black Woman).

The leader of the Skinheads said their movement is in no way against black people.

Some group of bullies might hide under the umbrella of the skinheads and do whatever they wish to anyone.

Talking about African Prostitutes in Russia.

Have you taken your time to make a research on the Russian Law on Prostitution? That Russian laws do not smile at that.

They crack down on prostitution in Russia isn't only geard toward African women practicing it here.

I have also seen videos of the crackdown on Russian women who does it too. Their PIMPS prosecuted and handed what Russians Call Straff.

Lets not look at issues from one angle where it suits us better.

I know Many Africans/Nigerians, who are successful in Russia. They visit Nigeria and still returns to Russia often. They all have their Russian red passports I know many who own businesses, married and have their children.

If you had read one of my replies before now, you would have read where i said their's no secured place in the world, the only thing is we have to learn how to do is how to be secured anywhere we find ourselves.

Even Nigeria isn't secured, you and i knows that like we know the veins that run through our back hands.

They're many things Nigerians do here that they'll not tell you in details which may have warranted your friend to be a target of what so ever groups hidding under the names of the Skin heads.

Ask your friend to check Properly, Russian are mixed with citizen from ther defunct ussr who are allowed to live and work here without visa.

Krugystani's, Uzbekistani's, Kazakstan, Armenia, Ukrainians Moldova etc. Most they Uzbeks and Dagekistans are the one carrying out all the bad things here in Russia. and we mistake them for the ethnioc Russians.


Every has a problem he/she would face living in America, France, Britain Germany we have seen alot of videos on the internet showing the racism and brutality on black people every where in the world. But we choose to turn a blind eye on it. But when it has to do with Russia we cry foul.

This reply isn't in any way stating that they aren't bad eggs amongst the ethnic Russians.

They goal for us is to learn how to stay safe away from troubles.

If you have any more questions about Russia i would be glad to answer to the best of my knowledge.

Russia is a good place to live only if you understand what to touch and what not to.

There are many sites for many countries like Nairaland of people with practical experiences. There are also immigration lawyers too online that trash issues like this. Just apply yourself and research then thank me later. Also read carefully the rule as it applies to TB certificate and you will notice it is clearly stated that it must be valid at point of application. Have you read backwards on this page and also noticed that people are not usually asked to present their TB certificate? Even if it has expired, there are machines for TB test at the airport where you will be directed to do it free of charge. It will only delay your entry for some few hours but will never deny you entry chief!

Who are the people you know that have issues? Please discuss.

Also where in UKVI site did it categorically state that anyone with expired TB certificate will be denied entry? Please discuss "quoting" paragraphs of UKVI site as evidence.

I researched yesterday online about it and found out that the TB test should only be valid at the time of application. You can travel with the expired test result and if they need a new one, there are X-ray machines at the airport where it will be done free of charge. Someone in the UK also verbally confirmed this to me last night too so no qualms.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Very encouraging.


neverlosehope:
Good day All,

I will like to encourage sometime with a little about my story.
I graduated from a Nigerian university with a second-class lower division degree in STEM at 24 years and finished NYSC at 25 years. Unfortunately, as peculiar with Nigerian environmental, I got my first job at 28 years after 4 years in the wilderness. The delay in getting a job was my mediocre degree (i.e., finishing with 2.2) and lack of working experience at 25 years (how will I get the necessary work experience when I have never been employed).

Fast forward to a decade later, after working for over a decade, got frustrated with Nigeria society placing a limited to what you can achieve, I decide to make a change to my family situation by returning to school in US/Canada. Initially, there were few obstacles, I got admitted into a fully-funded master’s degree program in the US with an average stipend by God’s grace. I left the shore or Nigeria with my entire family and started the program at 40 years. I graduated with a master’s degree with a GPA of 3.56/4.0 at 42 years. Fortunately, I was admitted into a fully-funded Ph.D. program in Canada’s top university with a very generous stipend and started the program at 42 years. I have currently completed the program required coursework with a GPA of 4.0/4.0, passed candidacy exam, five publications, and 3 manuscripts under review in top peer-review journals.

What is my point?
Despite where you might have started from, the environment you live might not be favorable to you, age or family commitments might be barriers. However, do not give up, please hold on to your dream. The grace of God will see you through. If you quit today, you have failed tomorrow.

Please note
My story is not unique; I have seen many tremendous journeys of beautiful people who do not quit/give up and achieved great heights. I am sharing my story to encourage you that no barrier is big or strong enough to stop you from achieving your dream.

I hope to challenge someone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
