I have just received a UK visitor visa for 6 months. It is an eVisa, so there is no visa stamp in my passport.

Can I book a return flight with KLM from Lagos? Do KLM require a transit visa in this scenario?

Thank you.
Your question isn't clear. Why do you think you may need a transit visa? are you transiting through another country?

Lai Mohammed.

Ukraine is bigger than France in size.

Ukraine has the largest army in Europe. Bigger than France and Germany combined.

Ukraine has received $450 billion worth of weapons. Far bigger than anything France, Germany and Poland combined have in their armory.

Russia controls 20% of Ukraine. The mineral rich parts of Ukraine.


77% of Ukrainian mineral resources is in the regions that Russia controls now. So why does Russia need to control more barren lands?

When they already have 77% of Ukrainian steel, gas, oil, uranium, rate earth metals, gold resources under their control.

Ukranian population has reduced from 49 million in 2014 to 19 million people today.

If you don't call that a win for Russia then you know absolutely nothing about geopolitics.

In your mind the US is winning against Iran. What lands does the US control in Iran? None.

Instead they lost all their lands, bases, radars, air defense systems, factories, embassies, oil tankers, businesses in the middle east.

So do u understand the massiveness of that land?

So massive that it's bigger than UK and Belgium joined together so it's enough to fight for till the last blood
Nothing to do with size, the Russian army is simply unable to break through Ukraine's defence with a resulting stalemate. The same Russian army seized about 15% of the country in the initial days of the war and has barely advance 1% in almost 4 years with Ukraine increasingly taking the battle to Russia itself.

France is comparable in size to Ukraine, yet was overrun by Germany in less than 60 days.

Do you understand what you are even saying?

The land Russia has annexed is bigger than the whole of UK and Belgium combined .
Now think about it !!

More like annexing nigeria with all the natural resources
The bulk of land Russia annex happened in the first few days of 2022 ( & lost a good bit in the same way when Ukraine counterattacked) when the open war started. Once the Ukrainian army took position and aid started pouring in, the battle line froze.

TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Fred2020: 10:02am On Mar 30
abubakarolatu:
In addition to what you said , I will also advise people currently going to the uk for study to study heat pumb related courses like Building service engineering, mechanical engineering, renewable energy engineering etc because this are occupations that’s has a good future in the United Kingdom although a lot of people doesn’t know yet cause by 2030 the uk government is trying to eradicate boiler where everyone will have to turn using heat pumb by then heat pumb installer , plumber etc will be needed more than ever in the uk


And for those that are already studying in the United Kingdom , regardless of the course just make sure you work to get and gather experience and don’t just work to gather money

And when you are gathering the experience make sure all the experience are related and not different incase you will be working different employer .
Your point isn’t entirely accurate. It’s similar to assuming there will be a surge in demand for electric vehicle repair technicians simply because we’re transitioning from petrol cars. In reality, many petrol car technicians retrain and transition into EV roles. So there isn't a big vacuum & only new builds are mandate to have heat pumps.

Secondly, heat pump technicians are classified as a “medium-skilled” role on the UK occupation list. Under current visa rules, that makes them difficult to sponsor unless they fall under shortage occupations (like healthcare assistants or social care roles). So even if demand increases, sponsorship pathways remain limited except you have an employer determined to sponsor you under a different code but for that role (some employers do, but only when they really like that employee).

Where I do agree is with renewables and data centres. These are relatively new and rapidly expanding sectors. There’s a genuine talent gap, and many roles are classified as highly skilled and well-paid, making them far more viable for sponsorship.

That said, the term “skilled worker” is often misunderstood. It implies bringing in individuals with strong, in-demand experience, not just a recently acquired academic qualification. A master’s degree alone doesn’t automatically qualify someone for experienced roles, especially if their prior work experience is unrelated. Many jump to do a Master's in a field in which they have no prior experience or connection.

A more effective strategy is to build on existing skills, align your education with your experience rather than trying to pivot entirely ( you lose your experience badge often).

During your studies, focus on gaining relevent UK experience for your target field through part-time, volunteering or freelance experience.

Finally, targeting MNCs is a smart move. They are far more likely to hold sponsorship licences, offer salaries above the threshold, and absorb visa costs without hesitation.

Your argument is unnecessary. As an admin on the platform, should he encourage prospective students to upload documents which do not reflect the true state of their financial capacity?

If you choose to come over to the UK with a plan to "work" and pay your tuition after a "less truthful" declaration that you had the funds in your account, that is risk you have decided to take but should not expect the admin to encourage or allow such talk.

What I can tell you for free is that a hugh portion of Nigerians that end up stranded and trying to file for asylum are people who originally came on student visas & it will probably get worse as the UK's economy is slowing down and immigration rules are tightened up.

So, he is right to attempt to sanitise the conversation. This is a public forum viewed globally, he cannot be seen to encourage rule-breaking and he has done his part to disuade anyone considering the "riskier" path.

AOI2016:
Hi Guys,
I'm a FTB. I met my broker today and we get a lender Skipton.
I suggested fix rate of 5 years but my broker advice i go for 2years with rate at4.14 and 5years is 4.22.
He said the rate will continue to drop even in 2 years.
Please I need advice on what to do.
I am thinking of 5years for stability but what if the rate drops further.
As rates are project to go down, your 2-year fix will have a higher rate than 5 years fix. Calculate the margin fee difference over 2 years based on this based on the differential interest rate between 5 & 2 years fix for 2 years. Also add product fee to the cost for 2 years fix as you are likely to pay it when switching at the end of 2 years.

Unless there is a rapid drop in interest rates/inflation in the future, you are not likely to be better off with 2 years fix as the marginal costs from higher interest and product fee tend to wipe off reduce interest you may benefit at the end of two years when interest drop is gradual. Could be worth it if interest drops sharply though.
