OP, you seriously need to bleach a little.
We are called black but not charcoal.

Anyone that says black is beauty has definitely not come across you.
i had to increase my screen brighteness to see your eye ball.
I cnt even see your face in the pic.

Its the positioning(selfie) that make me look dark but i am proud to be black ooo
See another pix

I went to visit my Teacher cousin in her school after school closed and I was shocked the facilities I saw. In a primary school, each class has a touch screen plasma TV.
Indoor and Outdoor playground, free lunch etc.
We and our children are the victims of corruption.

All the people asking him to resign....if you have the people at heart public office is not easy o

Africans are suffering

i pay 10k a month for unlimited browsing on ASDA network

Naija which way?

That the main point. When do we get unlimited data?

I am in Manchester using unlimited data and return to Lagos soon to start monitoring data

Sunny4Gold:
You can travel with soap but make sure you buy it yourself. If you claimed in your application that you don't know anyone in UK, make sure you stick to that in case they ask you questions at point of entry.

If you have a tourist visa and at the POE you mention anything like staying with brother, sister, uncle etc before you know whats happening you will find yourself in a place called "MMIA".

bahf:
Yes I did.
Submitted birth certificate, school receipts and records, family and school pictures. I didn't understand the medical records requested for.
Also submitted letter of consent.
Thanks

I was told of someone that was refused for not including Invitation Letter meanwhile he did, so he just re-applied with same documents and got visa. At times all this are human error

buddwizer:
Ok thanks. Do you know if they take only cash or you can pay by card there in the office and also do you know the exact naira equivalent ?
thanks

You should be able to pay with your card. In July i was asked if i want Priority service for about N50,000(cant really remember exact figure)

buddwizer:
Hello all, please how do I make payment for a priority visa application. I tried on TLS website, add services to cart. But I can't see anything in the cart.
Also if one has a letter of introduction from your employer stating your role, how long you have been in the company and in what capacity do you still need an employment letter.
Thanks

At TLS office when submitting your document you should be able to pay for Priority service

Yes put your employment letter as it validates the Intro Letter from your employer

Bigolly:
pls how can someone proof to the ECO that he receive his salary in cash

In this age of cashless policy its hard but if your employer can write a letter for you stating why your salary is paid in cash,it might help

pampem:
Thanks@iblaw
Kindly look at my last question as per expenses.
Does it mean that your expenses should not sum up to the total money available for the trip,? But should be equal to the cost to you personally? Pls assist with this .

Your expenses should sum up to the total money available for the trip

pampem:
@travelland,
Thanks a lot. Understood. No huge lodgement. It's matured tbills and ain't ready for roll over as rate is very low now.

If I may ask, the cost of living expense and fund available to dependants should be less than your monthly salary right?
Then other fields not stated GBP specifically can be reported in NGN?
And ones breakdown must be equal to the total fund available for the trip?
Please revert.

You are right as stated above but keep your expenses as low as possible.

teana4040:
Hi everyone, I just drop by to say thanks to all for the support during out application, we collected our package today with our visas

Congrats

MTN really looking for money o. I decided not to activate roaming on my line this month since i will soon return to Nigeria so i didnt load the N2,000 advertised for receiving free calls, i am surprised i still receive calls and i just picked a call for 65 seconds and realized MTN charge me N120 for receiving call meanwhile before if you dont load the N2,000 calls wont be connected to your line.

So na we subscribers go pay NCC fine directly or indirectly

NCC have mercy on MTN o so MTN can have mercy on us o

Justwise, Ogreen, frontpagelaw, iblaw and my people I greet u all oooo...

Happy Sunday and a good week ahead

sssob:
Hello justwise ..please help clarify...is it compulsory one travels on the date indicated on application ...or once one has been granted visa ..does it mean one can travel any other date outside what was indicated ....what are the consequences .if any ? Thank you

In July i stated in my application i want to travel to London in August, after i got my visa flights were too expensive so i changed my plans. Traveled in September straight into Manchester and no one asked me why i come Manchester at POE.

I was ready for any questions cos i already stated in all my visa applications that i had relatives in London and Manchester.

If you have a good reason, travel when most convenient for you.

veecee29:
Hi guys,
Please i am filling my form for submission,but some questions got me confused.
1) I have a landed property.On d form it was asked "what is the monthly income from the property"? It's just a landed property and no monthly income.What should i do to this question?
2)They asked for my monthly income but they didn't specify if it should be written in Naira or Pounds.So please should i specify my monthly income in Naira or Pounds?
3)Also they asked the total amount i have for the trip.Bt they also did not specify whether it will be in Naira or Pounds.Secondly is this question about the total amount i have in my account?
4)Lastly,on the question of how much i spend on living cost in a month, how much do u think i should put there?Personally i don't spend much cos i am all by self and i am not the food type[b].Atimes i spend 10k in a month[/b].This is for real but i don't want the ECO to think i am lying.Please is this 10k too small for an average Nigerian?
Sorry for my numerous questions but i will be glad if the above questions are attended to.

1. Indicate you have a Landed property and input N/A for monthly income from Property.
2. Monthly income in Pounds. Use http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/ as that is the exchange rate the ECO will use
3.Please DONT put total amount in your account here. Calculate cost of flight,accommodation,feeding etc and input it in Pounds. The lower the amount you input here the better for you as this will be looked at in line with how much you earn.
4.This should also be in Pounds but even assuming you are single, how do you spend only 10k in a month? Thats like 30 Pounds a month using Oanda.com.

spiceymma:
Goodday everyone,
I av bn following this thread recently. I was denied visa based on the fact that I did nt state my proper itenery in the UK cos I had stated in my application that I av no relative and I would be doing some sight seeing as well as little shopping and also my balance at the time I submitted the application was not enough. However I submited my Tbills worth 2.1 million naira. One tranch would be maturing by Nov which should be more than enough for my trip. Please advise me, cos they said there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.

Re-apply after your Tbill has matured and explain the cash as it reflects in your account. ECO believe more in liquidity of cash in bank account than Tbill.

FrontPageLawyer:
@Ogreene, any cheap ticket for October ending or first week of Nov? LOL

By October ending/first week November, thats the beginning of the cold wey fit dry person blood

Mufasa27:
Dollars ?? I thought you said you just returned from the U.K

OGreene:
Am back to Nigeria. A good vacation it was. UK is pretty expensive tho. Plenty shopping centres, my best part I missed African food a lot. Dunt wanna talk abt the cold

They love walking, they would say "oh, the place is just down the corner, it's a 10 mins walk". Omo, na so person go trek 20mins, I still never reach where I dey go. I got walking trainers coz my legs began to hurt.

I enjoyed the trip altogether.

Glad to know you had a good vacation but this is not cold oooo, the real cold fit make person blood dry inside bodi

If you are in Peckam or Woolwich you will see many African Kitchen there

Last time in a shop in Peckam, there was Yoyo Bitters, TomTom, Indomie etc all the Nigerian things.

OGreene:
Lucky you. I am still looking for an African kitchen in London.

The cold eh...

You definitely will get African Kitchen in London depending on where you stay...London is a VERY big place sha

FrontPageLawyer:
The cold is something else, bought two jackets already.

Don't even understand their road signs here. Make motor nor go jam person.

That right hand wheel is a big problem, last time my cousin needed to change the location of two cars so he asked me to drive behind him, distance of about 1km, it was fun but funny as i kept taking my hands to the right to change gear meanwhile the gear is on my left.

FrontPageLawyer:
You hardly see blacks in Manchester.

I'm the only black in my hotel.

Might run to London after my meeting tomorrow.

Boredom wan finish me.

Eeyaaa

I arrive Manchester Friday morning and from my last stay in March i know my way around. Make sure you go to the City Centre before you leave Manchester, you will pass by blacks speaking Yoruba. I even heard two guys speaking Hausa in March.

Sunny4Gold:

Hello experinced experts in d house.. I need a reply to my urgent question ....
I have been building my person acct with 250k as my monthly salary... I pay the money cash in my personal acct, and the name of depositor is my business acct name, am at the 4th month now, and it suddenly occured to me that why dont i do tranfer straight from my business acct to my personal acct instead of paying cash.... My question is? Can i still transfer the money straight from my business to my personal account or i shuld just complete the remaining 2months with paying cash in the bank since dat was how i started .. Because i want to apply by november.... Thanks in anticipation

ECO frown at inconsistencies in statement of account so thats the problem you might have
