How can that one be using phone in the middle of the sea where probably they'll be no reception

Some phones have camera, sir.

What of Joshua Jariye V Jonah Jang (2003 Pleateu guber election)

In any case, events between yesterday and today have shown we were both wrong.

The difference in this Osun will be less than 1k.

Afam4eva:
This has got to be the closest guber election based on the results so far.

Please can anybody confirm if the polling votes won by PDP so far are in the same senatorial district as Ede.

Nah. Ekiti was the closest ever in Nigerian history.

That was how a popular Nairalander, Bawomolo, was also shot dead in Chicago in December 2010.

Egbon, I still dey learn o, wanna be like you when I grow up. Meanwhile, I have your digits (********625), is that your WhatsApp line?

South African airways makes sense, haven't tried Ethiopian airlines, heard that they are cool as well. In Africa, I think that SAA is the best.

Nah. I dont use that again.

Send me Facebook message for my number.

nitrogen:
I just don't want my fam to experience what I went through the other time I used air Maroc to London, I almost cried.

Qatar is my favourite for now.

Big boy. You don forget your guy. Not good o.

lol.

Qatar is, to me, the best airline in the world. They are too good.

I use it to the Middle East. Felt bad when I couldn't use it to Dubai few months ago due to Qatar-Dubai diplomatic issues. Had to use Etihad.

For European routes, I use AirFrance, KLM and BA.

For Asia, Qatar, Turkish and Etihad.

Of all the 6 listed above, Qatar is the best.

Not really traveled around Africa except to Ghana few years back and I used Arik.

Not a fan of African airlines generally.

Meanwhile, since BB died, I no dey see you again. Chat me up on whatsapp.

nitrogen:
Guys, Kenyan Airways, are they cool? Looking to do Cape Town next month with my madam and boy, and kenyan Airways appears to be cheaper than the big boys.

Have not used it, but I heard they are not bad.

modath:
Where did you get that? Una don start?
So Buhari got 50+1?

Interesting results so far.


APC doing well in Omisore's Ife, PDP doing well in Aregbesola's Ilesha.

Jchi9876:
Moremi High School
Ife central

PDP - 38
APC - 82
ADC - 23
SDP - 14

The results coming out of Ife are surprising.

You never get buyer for this car this car 6 months after posting it here.

Are you sure it is a good car?

Fyorgyn:
I also totally agree with omobendel

I made a few "errors" and got away with it.

For instance, the invitation letter I included was addressed to me and not the UK high commission... I didn't include any details of my UK contact e.g. utility bills or passport data page. It was just an email saying my family is always welcome to stay at theirs.

I also didn't bother including copies of my old passports and visas as suggested... I submitted my recently (re)new(ed) "virgin" passport and reckoned they should have details of my previous applications

I didn't have energy to get letter of introduction from my office so I just included my employment letter and pay slips...

I also only included three months bank statement

My spouse is self employed and only included personal account (healthy inflow and outflow but less than 10k balance) and the cac incorporation form showing us both as directors (I don't remember what it is called).

I indicated in a cover letter that the entire cost will be drawn from my accounts

Point is, my application was farrrrrrrrrr from perfect but we got it.


Having said that,

I am very aware of the fact that many eligible people are refused visas everyday and it is a very painful feeling.

I wish every genuine applicant the very best.

My errors

1, I mistakenly clicked yes (instead of no) that my wife was traveling with me in the application form (although I used biro to cancel it and wrote "no" and submitted that page as part of my other docs

2, My company's introductory letter introduced me with my old expired passport number. That's what they have in their records ( yet to advise them of my new passport number).

3, The dates I quoted as entry and exit for at least 2 of my past travels to the UK in the application were wrong. I was too lazy to check my old passport while filling he form and just guessed the date I entered and left UK in my previous entries. I checked after submitting the form and realized after doing biometrics the dates were wrong e.g entered UK 23 Oct 2017 but put 25 Oct as entry date while filling the form.

4, I did not include any bank statement (this one is deliberate though, but born out of my casualness inthe application).

Plus a couple of other minor errors and oversight here and there.

Yet, I got the visa.

I think those guys are trained to see the big picture easily. I dont think they refuse people visa just for the fun of it.

OmoBendel24:
Wrong assumptions. If you are qualified for a visa from them you will get one 90-95% of the time, if not even as much as 99% sef....

How many refusals have we read of on here in the past few months that wasn't justified? Cover letter, cover letter! In fact, good cover letter. What's the content na?

I thought those getting refused do some explanation when they reapply? What's that then, is that not a difference maker? I think I even prefer the UK ECO and their approach as compared to almost every other country's consular officers. Has common South Africa showed you pepper or is it Schengen people that you can not understand, as well as the Canadians? Let's not just talk of the US and section 214B refusals that you can never dig the reason behind their refusals.... Take note though, that this writer has valid visas to all the places mentioned and the UK too oh!

I fully agree with you. I really dont think UK visa is that difficult if you have good documentation and good case to be given the visa.

In fact, I made a couple of errors in my last application ( last month) that if they were really petty as the gentleman said, I should be refused. But they were reasonable enough.

I really dont believe in the speculation up there.

TheExalted:
Hello gurus in the house, submitted early September, got a mail 20th of Sep, trying no to panic, has anyone received such message and got approved? Below is the message:

ebonmic:
Pls house, do I need to include my statement of acct as the company is the body sponsoring the conference am attending in uk? ..i have a good bal. In my acct, but since I won't be using the money there, I don't know if to add the acct statement or not.

Good to add, especially if you the account is good as you said, but I have never used personal bank statement (or any bank statement at all) for all visas for my official (company-sponsored) trips to the UK. My other proofs are usually overwhelming (that I consider adding personal statement unnecessary), including that my company has its head office in the UK.

"Name recognition"of your company may matter.

Not many people know Musa is currently the 6th all-time highest goal scorer for the Nigerian national team (Super Eagles)

PaChukwudi44:
are you sure you eve read the link you posted? Are you for real? How on earth is that a confirmation of Buhari's result?

The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), now known as Cambridge Assessment, in response to requests to authenticate a candidate’s exam certificate, today said: “We can only confirm or verify results at the direct request of or with the permission of a candidate

The question now ahould be why is candidate Buhari not writing to Cambridge to confirm the results he presented? Why did he need to hire 12 SANS? What exactly is he afraid of?

Guy, if I were in Buhari's shoes, I would also ignore.

My school has presented my statement of result, and Cambridge that issued the grades has not denied the grades, why would I pander to your petty request of requesting Cambridge to reconfirm when my school has publicly confirmed it?

WAEC presented Adeleke's certificate only after the Court ordered it to produce it, you guys could also go to court in Nigeria (or in the UK if Nigerian courts do not have the jurisdiction) and compel Cambridge to produce the result.

If you have issues with what is obvious, you need to work before you chop. You can't push me around to go to second level of proof when the first level (my school) has confirmed.

Buhari is right not to pander to the petty request of you guys.

Ioannes:
You are the insane one. Your certificate is worthless beyond the shores of this country.

We will see if you won't apply for an affidavit when you need to clarify what exactly your name is.

I believe you aren't exposed at all. It's either you're a child or you are a local champion.

Lol. I have since schooled in the UK after my first degree.

PaChukwudi44:
You are a hypocrite.Buhari's certificate case will never be settled until the examination body which conducted the exams actually confirms he wrote the exams.And please stop making mendacious claims or claims you cants substantiate as it actually erodes on your integrity that is if even you have any

1, The first allegation by the FFK and people like you was that the result was fake because there was no Hausa language in Cambridge exam conducted in 1961.

Cambridge came out to say you guys were lying that they conducted Hausa language exam in northern Nigeria in 1961.


Here is the link on Cambridge website: http://www.cambridgeassessment.org.uk/news/statement-in-response-to-nigerian-presidential-election-enquiries/

2, If Cambridge could issue this statement on their website, which means they were aware of the result in circulation, do you think if the content of the results associated to them was fake, they would not have issued a disclaimer?


C'mon, partisanship should not cloud our reasoning.

Ioannes:
What's the name of your President? Is it Mohamed Buhari, Mohammed Buhari or Muhammadu Buhari?

Anyway, I'm not here to debate this issue. I just pointed out what I thought was strange and the person I quoted has responded. So you being alarmed is melodramatic.

Na wa for you o.

Well, my primary, secondary and first degree erts spell my first name differently.

Primary cert: Suraju
SSCE cert: Surajdheen
Degree: Surajudeen


No one has ever questioned it because I have not come across an insane person.


And I have used the result both in Nigeria and abroad.

If you don't, the real people know harmless variations in name spelling.

PaChukwudi44:
was that what WAEC did for Adeleke? You guys are deluded.Continue deceiving yourself.This certificate issue will come back to haunt Buhari in 2019.

Look, I'm not into petty political roforofo you guys have here. I never commented on Adeleke issue because I did not see any breach anywhere.

I only commented on Buhari's when Buhari's case was mentioned here and I personally hate to see ignorance thrive, especially when I can correct it.

There is no issue with Buhari, just as there was no issue with Adeleke's.

karlboss:
Stop the insult
He lost Cambridge certificate and also lost waec certificate is he that careless.
If it's a true waec result that picture should Not used
Where is waec watermark on the results I have seen older results bearing it.

Ogbeni, can you go and ask your grandfather whether there was WAEC conducting exams for Nigerian students in 1961?

PaChukwudi44:
enough of this rubbish you have been ranting here.Do you think you are dealling with fools? WAEC has confirmed that Adeleke wrote the 1981 exams.We also need WAEC to confirm Buhari wrote the 1962 exams to put the matter at rest.

Sorry, Buhari did not write WAEC, he wrote Cambridge, which was the body conducting secondary school leaving exam in Anglophone countries of then.

PaChukwudi44:
what is so difficult in him asking waec or Cambridge to confirm the result he presented? We don't need to see his certificate ,all weask is the he write to waec to confirm that those results are genuine.What was 12 SANs including the hypocrite falana doing in court?

1, Dont mention WAEC because there was no WAEC in 1961.

2, Cambridge confirmed on their website that he sat for their exam in 1961.

3, His school issued a statement of result as replacement for the lost certificate and Cambridge never denied that the grades were not from them. Do you think Cambridge will keep quiet and not put up a disclaimer if a fake result is published as a result from them?

Guys, I'm personally disappointed in Buhari's government, but this certificate issue is no issue at all. It is a simple matter only the challenged find difficult to grasp.

Ioannes:
I've always found this picture interesting. There wasn't a Katsina state in 1961. I stand to be corrected.

Bros, if I wrote my WAEC in Lokoja School in 1980 (when Lokoja was part of Kwara state) and lose the result and go back to my secondary school in 2018 (when Lokoja is now in Kogi) for a re-issue of my statement, do you expect to see Lokoja, Kwara state in the re-issued document?

The reasoning here alarms me!

nnachukz:
Where is it? The constitution says "have" even if you made parallel F9 not sat.

So if I lose my SSCE certificate today, and can't find it, it means I don't have, even after the examining body confirms?

nnachukz:
Still better than the President who has no record of ever sitting for similar exam. He failed all his military exams hence nothing added to his name like other military generals.

Buhari sat for Cambridge School certificate exam, the precursor to WAEC.

Cambridge confirmed that.

See this https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/175777-cambridge-university-provides-details-buharis-wasc-results.html

That also includes a screenshot from Cambridge website.

Buhari's issue is loss of his certificate.
