Sorry to hear that. Well if you had known you would have asked your company to always credit your account with your income, by so doing the monthly income will reflect in your statement of account, also get a coloured bio-data of your sponsor and a letter from your sponsor to explain that the bio-metric page is his. Then wait after 5 months to re apply, that's all dear. Your case is not very difficult. Now you're appealing I hope all relevant documents were submitted, God will help you definitely. Cheers.

Yeah you are riht and I've learnt from my mistake. Am just waiting.

Thanks for contributing. Was it settlement Visa you applied for? I'm asking because you They acknowledge your appeal after 5 month, does that mean you won the appeal and you're waiting for the Embassy to ask you to bring your passport to append the Visa on it? Please enlighten me on this. thank you.

@iamosy No it wasn't settlement visa, I applied for visit visa. @juswise is right some appeal take longer time to the other so all appeal has different time duration. I believe your case won't be like mine staying up to 5months before getting acklogdement letter. My appeal is not yet concluded, am still waiting on their call to submit my passport. I hope I will the case because am tired of everything, wish I knew it will take long then I won't have appeal the case. Their 2 reasons they refused me my visa are baseless, 1: my monthly income doesn't reflect in my statement, I ve over a million and in my account, its my real account not fake, the issue should be is there any suffient money inside the account. 2: they said my sponsor passport is not clear, its clear even a blind man can see everything on it, I thought they would call the person on phone to confirm if its true or not.

Am praying heavily for them to reconsider and change their decision by calling me on phone to come over with my passport. Only God can help me.

justwise: I disagree with that lawyer, embassy got nothing to do with your appeal, the immigration tribunal treats your appeal and its an independent body, they pass their judgement and notify the UKBA and you in writing about their decision, if its in your favour then the tribunal judge will give UKBA 15 working days to challenge the decision or issue you a visa. After the 15 working days, it takes about a month before your visa arrives.

When you are refused a visa and given the right to appeal, you are given two options, oral appeal or paper appeal, if you went for oral appeal then you will be invited by tribunal to defend yourself application or use a lawyer, it will be you, the judge and the UKBA immigration lawyer(if they bother to turn up), the judge will go through your case and ask you some questions then make his or her decision right there but you will not be given a visa or any written judgement, the written judgement will be sent to you and the UKBA after about 3weeks.

You or the UKBA will be given 15 working days to challenge that (depending on who the decision was in favour of)

The embassy do not treat your appeal, they will only be notify about the tribunal's decision and action will be taken depending on the outcome.

@justwise yea you are 100% right. They acklowledge my appeal afrer 5months and they told me there's nothing I could do now, that I should wait.
Appeal is time taken process !

afolabi009: I send my applied document to the UK stuff via DHL and it has been deliver last week but i did not receive any text from them i hope that not a problem plz reply my good friend am a little bit nervous

my friend you have to be patient with them. ive been waiting for them to call me on phone after ive made my appeal over 5 months now. I will never advise anyone to go for appeal because its time taken. I just pray to receive their call soonest to submit my passport.

Am just pounding how they feel doing all this evil ? What would be their endless gain ?. How would this country develop when we still have these folks !

We shouldn't be so fast in concluding about what's is happening over there. Most of us reside in Lagos. We need someone over there to tell us the fact if he closed down schools, market etc

We can't manage business but we can fly our pirivate jets.
The growing penchant for private jets acquisition has cost wealthy Nigerians a sum of $6.5bn (N1.02tn) in the last five years. Aviation sources reveal that the luxury trend, which rose by 650 per cent between 2007 and 2012, is encouraged among the rich by the need for privacy, fear of insecurity and the urgency required by modern business, TUNJI ABIOYE reports

Private jet ownership in Nigeria has grown by 650 per cent, from 20 jets in 2007 to over 150 jets in 2012.

According to documents sighted in aviation agencies, the development means that wealthy Nigerians acquired, at least, 130 private jets with a sum of N1.02tn ($6.5bn) within the last five years.

This put the private jets aviation market in Nigeria (the monetary value of all private jets in the country) at N1.18tn ($7.5bn), using $50m as the average cost of each brand new private jet.

A private jet goes for between $40m and $65m, according to the websites of major private jets manufacturers, like Bombardier of Canada; GulfStream and Hawker Siddley of United States; and Embraer of Brazil.

According to findings, the common brands of private jets in Nigeria are Gulfstream 450, 550 and 650; Bombardier Challenger 604, 605; Global Express; Embraer Legacy and Falcons; and Hawker Siddley 125-800 and 900XP.

Top aviation officials told our correspondent on Friday that Nigeria currently rivalled China as one of the two fastest growing private jet markets in the world.

An official with in-depth knowledge of the situation, who spoke under condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to comment on the matter, said most of the jets were bought by top politicians, oil magnates and other business moguls in Nigeria.

He explained that the economic downturn in Europe and the United States had made Nigeria and China to become two of the fastest growing private jet markets in the world.

He said, "Two countries buying private jets now are China and Nigeria. Europe and America are going through turmoil; so, their people are no more buying. This accounts for the trend that whenever some of the private jet manufacturers develop any new jet, they take them to Nigeria and China."

"The private jets in Nigeria are owned by top politicians, oil magnates and business moguls. It is difficult to get the real identities of owners of some of the private jets in Nigeria because they buy them through some foreign companies in North America, especially the US. The foreign company then leases it to another company in Nigeria."

Investigation by our correspondent also revealed that there were still several private jets on order by wealthy Nigerians. Some of the jets, it was learnt, would be delivered this year, while others would be delivered in 2013 and 2014.

A top official of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, who asked not to be named, said representatives of the owners of the private jets on order had already notified the agency about the order. This, he said, was necessary for the purpose of registering the aircraft in Nigeria. According to him, some of the private jets also come with foreign registration credentials.

The Managing Director of Aero Airlines, Captain Akin George, had recently commented on the increasing number of private jets being parked at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

He particularly lamented the fact that most of the private jets carried foreign registration credentials. He had subsequently called on the authorities concerned in the country to make registration processes in Nigeria friendly and attractive.

During a recent visit to Abuja, our correspondent observed that over 40 private jets were parked at the terminal.

The CEO of another airline also said that during political meetings or big functions in Abuja, over 50 private jets were usually seen parked at the Abuja airport.

These, he said, were different from the ones parked at the Lagos and other major airports across the country.

"If you go to the old local wing at the Abuja airport, there is virtually no place to park private jets again," he said

Just on Thursday, a team of officials from the headquarters of Bombardier in Canada arrived at the Executjets Private Hangar at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, to showcase one of their latest private jets, Global 6000.

The team was led by the Sales Director, Africa, Bombardier Business Aircraft, Mr. Robert Habjanic, who said that the team was on a tour of 12 cities in Africa, including Lagos. Habjanic, who spoke with a few aviation journalists, told our correspondent that Nigeria was the company's largest market in Africa, with about 35 Bombardier-made business aircraft currently flying its airspace.

He said the team had also showcased the relatively new business jet in other parts of the world.

He confirmed that "private business in Nigeria has been growing tremendously in the last five years."

He attributed this to the fact that "Nigeria is an emerging market."

The growth in the purchase of private jets in Nigeria has also led to the development of multimillion dollars private jets hangars, where repairs and maintenance could be done in the country. Some of these include Execujets Nigeria Hangar, Caverton Hangar and EverGreen Hangar, all located at the Lagos airport.

Speaking on the development, industry expert, Mr. Olumide Ohunayo, said, "The economy is expanding, with increasing investments within the country and the region. This will invariably necessitate instantaneous travel that scheduled airlines cannot provide.

"Also the privacy needed in a country filled with paparazzi can be an issue. Increasing political and religious issues are contributory. By and large, it will continue to increase if the economy continues with a lot of diversification inputs that naturally spread wealth."

Very documented and detailed info you got there.

I think its time we reform our Aviation sector. Nigerians can't always be victim of their detbs.

Nice one there.

False Story. Talk or write another one.

We should be ashamed of ourself. Only the name has negative impact in whatever we do abroad. Selfish Leaders. GEJ must step down. Silent Fool.

julioralph: wow! you mean those who speak bad English can still win awards in Tourism?
I no fit laugh!!!

Absolute rubbish. Na wetin we want b dat?

Ortis: Is tis nt dat same fool dat cald GEJ names.....Sm1 suld pls shut dis fool up 4 me....culdnt he mind his undeveloped ghananian buisness

Hey man. Ghana is far better to Nigeria. We have no rules or Policy. Maybe you need go visit Ghana to confirm things yourself.

Dee60: Nairaland - Your forum seems to have been bombarded by government agents and apologists. What has the Ghanaian professor said that is wrong? There is too much despair in Nigeria today, north, south, east and west. The only cheerers are the rent seekers around Abuja who have become billionaires in 1 year of GEJ's rule (misrule)! BH itself is a product of that misrule. Now GEJ has fired the hardworking NSA. Let us see what the new person will do> Same way he fired Farida and Ribadu and sent EFCC into coma!

The professor is correct in his assessment. It isnt only Nigerians that are tired. GEJ himself looks tired and seems to find relief in constant trips outside Nigeria.

My beloved sensible Nigerian. What the Prof said was right and I see no reason why some blind nigerians are insulting him. I think we should all join Effort and do what he asked us to do by Removing this unsound man called President out of office. We need better Leader!
