justwise: Pray that u don't get deported from healthrow airport

Loo was jst trying 2 b a typical Naija guy, sharp sharp sth no time 4 dulling....everybody in a rush RED EYE!! RED EYE!!!

Donxavier: No time to waste
If it will take a month, it means a month wasted doing nothing. If the emergency tax band is true, it means you can begin work immediately. No time to laze about until you get the NI.

Plz guys, can someone apply for NI here frm Naija prior to his/her resumption so as 2 cut d̶̲̥̅̊ 2-3weeks delay and probably get d̶̲̥̅̊ NI jst as he i§ arriving UK and den get started wit d̶̲̥̅̊ hustling

salsera: Ikcbn

Have u submitted ur application?

Yes i have, jst waitin on d̶̲̥̅̊ ECO

Donxavier: Then one way is the best for you.

But like hw much i§ d̶̲̥̅̊ diff btw d̶̲̥̅̊ 2 fares so as 2 knw if it's wat a trial

Donxavier: The return is valid anytime for a period of a year, meaning you can use the ticket anytime as long as it doesn't exceed a year.

Even if you want to get a british passport and become a citizen, do you want to cut all ties to naija? Don't you want to come back

That means U̶̲̥̅̊ would have 2 come home in btw Your study period if U̶̲̥̅̊ re going 4 a year course i suppose?
My plan was 2 come back only wen i must have completed my study

Donxavier: Yes, to and fro ticket.

Haba!!! Return ke? So U̶̲̥̅̊ already knw wen U̶̲̥̅̊ re coming back ni? Abi did U̶̲̥̅̊ jst choose any date cos 4 me, i haven't deceided yet

Donxavier: Just book return on the direct flights if you prefer direct. One way doesn't make sense, almost the same price as the return.

For stopovers, I think Qatar and Emirates are cheap if you don't mind the long wait.

Plz wat do U̶̲̥̅̊ mean by RETURN? I§ it a return tick as in to and fro tickect?

somadila: yes bro., i do accumulate sometimes but not always cos it's risky. i usually do it with little stakes especially when bigger teams are playing any games dat i'm certain to make sth. from it but i prefer staking more on live events cos it's safer . like today i did an accumulator on shakhter donesk , real madrid, ajax, and barcelona which valencia messed up, i was lucky enough cos it's not a single combi rather a yankee combi in bet365. so dat's it bro.

Sorry dude,
Plz which one i§ Yankee combi?

somadila: i think d bonus is still in d bonus section, it has not been moved to d withdrawable balance section cos u have not fully rolled it over. u have succeeded in rolling it over once thereby giving u access to bet with it. u need to roll it over 3 times before it will be moved to the withdrawable balance. e.g u started with $25 right and they gave u a bonus of $25, for that bonus to be moved to the withdrawable section, it means u need to place a bet totalling $25 * 3 = $75 before the bonus will be moved completely to d withdrawable balance i.e the standard ok, so they will keep deducting d money in ur main balance till u complete d rollover requirement and if d money in ur main balance gets finished in d process, d deduction will then start hitting ur bonus balance. Hope u understood d explanation . Regards

Tanx dude, think A̶̲̥̅♏ gud 2 go nw

Hello guyz,

Plz hw do i get 2 stake a bet using my $25 Bonus on Bet365? I've rolled over my bonus three times like ϑε̲γ̲ said and ϑε̲γ̲ have also sent me a mail saying ϑaτ̅ i can nw use it 4 betting bt yet all my stakes keeps cutting frm my main balance.
So hw do i use ϑaτ̅ Bonus.??

Atlantis85: omg! that's a blatant rip-off! How come no one has ever said anything about this? why do we keep quiet in the face of such unfairness?? Max, 265 would have even been better. In the uk sef, this kinda shit won't fly but our very own people would let it slide. smh.

How about i take 286 'gan gan' and see what they have to say about that, eh?... oh, wait, i don't have time for such rough play

Well don't really knw abt ϑaτ̅ since d̶̲̥̅̊ payment i§ made wit Sterling bank rite inside d̶̲̥̅̊ center and like U̶̲̥̅̊ knw, Naira i§ wat we use here in Naija so i don't really knw if d̶̲̥̅̊ pounds would b accept unless U̶̲̥̅̊ filled out d̶̲̥̅̊ Vaf9 form online and den pay Your app fee online too.
Thats d̶̲̥̅̊ much i knw though, mayb sm1 here could throw more light on dat

Atlantis85: Hi everyone,

i've got about 300 pounds with me. can i just take 290 to pay for the visa fee or it has to be in naira?

Also i've seen people saying they paid 78k, is that right? if ukba page states 286 pounds, how does that translate to 78k?

My dear @ d̶̲̥̅̊ VFS center, d̶̲̥̅̊ exchange rate i§ £1 = N270. Thats Naija 4 you oooo

Atlantis85: This is the part i was just going to quote. i think this just about settles it.

"Put a cross here if you do not have any course fees or maintenance outstanding because your official financial sponsor has agreed to pay all your fees and all your living costs and move to part 7.

If you do not have an official financial sponsor, or if your official financial sponsor has not agreed to pay for your full course fees and living costs - do not put a cross here - instead put a cross in the YES box."


1. I do have maintenance fee 'outstanding'... ( can we all agree our understanding of the term outstanding and ukba's definition are different)
2. I do not have an official financial sponsor hence whatever our understanding or disagreement with the terms stated here, this paragraph firmly settles it; ticking Yes is correct.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to painstakingly go over this with me.

Whatelse are we all here for if not 2 help one another.
**Cheers**

justwise: I'm not scaring you, i'm basically telling you that you don't have to tick yes because you don't have any fee left to be paid.

If you tick No then you go to 7. where you will have to put your CAS number and number of points you are calming which is 30 +10 giving the 40 points needed. The ECO can easily check that out, in your CAS it stated that you are not owing any fees and you submitted bank statement showing your maintenance money, that gives you the 40points.


Your CAS and bank statement which shows your complete maintenance money covers you in that section, so ticking a wrong box will not necessary get you a refusal, but maintenance money is not an outstanding fees to be paid.

So y i§ there a space below the question where you would have 2 enter your maintenance fee b4 totaling d̶̲̥̅̊ entire money?

justwise: £7200 or £9000 for accommodation? Where did you get that from? You don't need to pay for any accommodation, its not part of requirements, all you need to do is show the £7200 in your bank statement, nothing more!

Please lets not mislead people, she will not be there to clarify any mistake, not all ECOs will see it as a genuine mistake.


If that is what you have done in your application then pray that the ECO will see it as a minor mistake.

Sorry i used ϑaτ̅ word accomodation instead of maintenance, all i was tryin 2 say i§ ϑaτ̅ she has 2 fill ϑaτ̅ out cos she would need 2 show wit her bank statement as a prove ϑaτ̅ she has it

justwise: So you ow your school £7200 maintenance money or who?

Well.. i leave it to you, but just don't give the ECO an excuse to refuse you visa.

Plz do not give her room for doubts cos frm wat i understand n knw frm this, she i§ right going wit YES, filling d̶̲̥̅̊ Tuition : £0.00 and den £9000 or £7200 for accommodation irrespective of whom she i§ going 2 pay ϑaτ̅ to. The sch or a private Landlord.
@Justwise, U̶̲̥̅̊ have bin great on this thread bt this time, i think U̶̲̥̅̊ need 2 re-check
**Cheers**

Plz guyz,
Which area would b best 2 site an accommodation 4 sum1 attending The university of sheffield.a walkable area would b best appreciated

plz guyz,
which area wud b best 4 accomodation 4 sum1 attending The university of sheefield n wud b @ a walkable distance?

Dharkchild: I would be going private bro, but ve been speaking with a landlord in Sheffield and would meet him for viewing when I get there so if 'm okay with it I would sign up the contract.

I would keep you posted which ever way it goes, but it would be cool if you could actually team up with someone to get an apartment. Lots of private apartment are actually available for rent within walking distance from school and done even prefer renting it to a group of students as opposed to individuals.

Tanx bro bt plz do not fail 2 get back 2 me after viewing d̶̲̥̅̊ room wen U̶̲̥̅̊ get there cos there might b an empty room there that would interest me. I would probably b arriving late towards d̶̲̥̅̊ end of sept. So do keep me posted beta still link me up wit d̶̲̥̅̊ landlord via email so i could talk 2 him and make reservations if nececessary or perphaps he could help me secure one or link me wit one of his colleagues
Tanx 4 d̶̲̥̅̊ help.

Dharkchild: Yeah I would. 'm going private. Would be travelling on the 11th so I can try to sort out stuffs before resumption

Could U̶̲̥̅̊ plz link me up wit d̶̲̥̅̊ accomodation cos A̶̲̥̅♏ definitely gonna b needing it or let me knw if U̶̲̥̅̊ wouldn't mind sharing, mayb us stayin together could b more convenient and economical 4 us.

Dharkchild: I think you are talking about 2 different schools. They are going to Sheffield Hallam university while you(we) are going to the university of Sheffield. I got the mail too from university of Sheffield and 'm also confused, so much info is required.

So wat do U̶̲̥̅̊ suggest we do abt ϑaτ̅ cos like ϑε̲γ̲ said, it's a pre-registion stuff and has 2 b don b4 d̶̲̥̅̊ main registration in sch. Do keep me informed though should anytin come out. Sup wit Your accommodation too?? Do U̶̲̥̅̊ intend doing private?

@Darkchild,FutureDon,Penfold and those heading 2 Sheffield

Sup wit accommodation? I intend doing private bt would luv 2 join up wit anyone frm this forum who also wants 2 do private so we could b together ova dia in UK and watch each others back and get 2 overcome ϑaτ̅ spirit of loneliness. More especially, d̶̲̥̅̊ rent would b more economical 4 us. Plz any interested individual should link me up

penfold: @futuredon

If U̶̲̥̅̊ have, plz could U̶̲̥̅̊ jst give me a clue on wat exactly ϑε̲γ̲ want us 2 do there and hw best 2 go abt it cos A̶̲̥̅♏ also headed Sheffield.

Dharkchild: For the bank statement, a month is fine a long as the money has been there for a minimum of 28 days. Don't forget to do a transaction on the day you want to print.

Book an appointment, its free and saves time.

Hey guyz, i paid in on 31/07/2012 ϑaτ̅ means my counting started on 01/08/2012 so 28 august should b d̶̲̥̅̊ 28th day bt i want 2 print on d̶̲̥̅̊ 29th. So wen do U̶̲̥̅̊ think would b best 4 d̶̲̥̅̊ statement 2 cover should i jst take 1-29th August or include last month too?

Hey guys, esp pple ϑaτ̅ submitted @ abuja, do U̶̲̥̅̊ need 2 book an appointment via online b4 going 2 vfs office 2 submit Your app and for d̶̲̥̅̊ bank statement, i§ there any specific number of months it should cover or can a bank statement 4 jst a month do d̶̲̥̅̊ job given ϑaτ̅ it has d̶̲̥̅̊ required fund and has stayed 4 d̶̲̥̅̊ 28days?

Dharkchild: Congrats bro. I so much wish you the very best. Can't wait to see you in Sheffield. Cheers man

Tanx man, ama see U̶̲̥̅̊ soon on d̶̲̥̅̊ oda side

salsera: @ikcbn
Your case is confusing oh. I think you have muddled things up for us
Q1. You posted email dated 3rd aug from ATAS saying it would take 20working days. Bros today is 24th nah, your cert should be ready
Q2. Pls which application was amended - your ATAS or CAS
Q3. What about the letter from your school you posted here that you had 31 days from the 24th to register in school

Like someone said speak with Tomi jare, she's the sheffield rep.ideally you should have run all these issues through her sef.

Firstly,I wanna 2 say a very big tank U̶̲̥̅̊ 2 my miracle working God and U̶̲̥̅̊ all 4 Your kind concern on ma problem bt I write 2 inform U̶̲̥̅̊ all ϑaτ̅ I have bin given my ATAS Clearnce this evening so i would definitely go ahead wit my visa application nxt week.
*Cheers*

Plz do all UK sch have january intake?? Cos ama have 2 consider ϑaτ̅ since A̶̲̥̅♏ kind of racing against time, everytin i§ jst becoming too tidious 4 me

Donxavier: Why not go for Cranfield?

I prefer sheffield cos of d̶̲̥̅̊ ranking and d̶̲̥̅̊ course ϑε̲γ̲ are offering besides, i have already paid part of my tuition fee @ sheffield
