graced100: Good afternoon house I am filling the form . is the nin card the same as national identity card and what is internal passport. As an answer to family in the uk , they mean like nuclear family right because i dont have details of my extended family in the uk. For someone that doesnt remember their national insurance number. What can I do because I never worked in the uk and I don’t currently recall the number do I put No and explain later on the form or just put no . 1.Yes NIN is the same as national ID 2. International passport is your Nigerian passport 3. You don't have to add their all their details if you don't have 4. If don't have NI and never worked in the UK before then you got nothing to worry about. |

ppogba: What is the emotional un- intelligence in what he said?
Rather, you are the one that is just been plain sentimental . I do not know Dangote and neither have I met him.
Now, if it were to be Larfage truck, Coca-cola truck or 7up truck, who do you think would have been the butt of the media attacks?
But it is easy to plug angry teeth into Dangote' s skin.
Elementary Law 101 will help your case concerning Dangote and Dangote cement .
RIP to the law Rubbish! It does not matter if it was Jesus truck that killed her , the company has to take responsibility of the damage. Yes the driver will be jailed but the truck owner has to compensate the victim. |

professorPABX: May her soul rest in peace. May the souls of other unknown people and those known but without Social Media personality who died in similar situations and circumstances rest in peace. Amen.
Having said the above to extend my sympathy to the family of Phyna sister and the families of those that died in similar situations and circumstances , I think it is very important that as Nigerians, the Latter day social critic and Social Media activists should avoid clout chasing.
Harrassing DANGOTE the President of the group with thousands of trucks and over 100,000 employee directly and indirectly is not acceptable.
May the soul of the lady rest in peace. Why are many Nigerians this emotionally unintelligent? Will you type this if your sister was the victim? |

helinues: Nigeria social media would buzz tomorrow. Those who got involved didn't handle the issue well.
VDM and the sister really messed up. A life was at stake and they were doing those shenanigans on social media accusing each other. You never disappoint one bit, so VDM should have taken Ruth abroad for treatment or should have assembled a team of doctors to give Ruth 247 treatment? VDM used his platform to raise awareness about this and was out to help phina but she decided otherwise and spent days fighting the only person willing to help her get justice for her sister. VDM gives many of you sleepless night. |

If you are building a house in Nigeria for your parents then definitely it’s a good idea . However, if you’re building as an investment then it’s a terrible decision.

People have traveled, presented their pof and show them you are saying they not intrested in the print out. Dude this is very simple, if they stopped you at the POE and asked if you have the money you presented during the application and you said yes and you are asked to show them, you have many options, you can open your bank app, or show them in one of the cash machines at the airport. This is a random thing, they don't stop everybody to ask this but if you are picked then get ready to show them the money. |

Zahra29: But it's the prerogative of a sovereign country to control its borders and remove those who have no legal status - otherwise what's the point of a border? However I think the priority should be illegal immigrants who have committed crime, of which there are many, not those who have otherwise lived lawfully for decades, have American children, integrated into society etc
I agree that immigrants are vital for many sectors in the US. However my grouse is that these companies are happy for them to remain illegal because they are a source of very cheap labour - no need to pay them going rate, no need to provide medical insurance or other employment benefits - they're illegal aliens right, who can they report to??
They should be lobbying the government to regularise the status of their workers to enable them work freely and be paid the going rate - which will also benefit the government in the form of (increased) tax receipts, reduced reliance on the state etc You are making my point, I’m not against border control, I’m against controlling skin colour and treating people like animals which is what Trump is doing. We will have fewer millionaires and billionaires today without cheap labour provided by illegal workers. If iPhone and Samsung are made in US or the UK how many of us can afford to own one? |

Goke7: All the policies in the US currently is achieving same results in the UK, low job growth, inflation and more despair. That’s what all these talk of shutting borders achieves, nothing more! I think the UK is not as bad as the Trump economy as the moment. Remember that any figure coming out of Trump administration can not be trusted as it maybe white washed to make him happy else your job will be gone if you present true reflection of the economy |

Zahra29: They need to introduce a regularisation scheme for existing illegal workers e.g. those with no criminal record, those who have lived X years in the US etc - even if it's a temporary visa like we have here, with no direct route to settlement.
At least the workers will be able to work without fear and exploitation - unfortunately many are paid below minimum wage, no insurance or employment rights etc. If they do that then stephen miller will not have a job and Trump promise of deporting millions and millions of illegal aliens will an epic fallur. This is about numbers and got nothing to do with fixing the immigration system, they are deporting even American citizens, those with green card, those with cases going through the immigration court, those who have lived in America for more than 20yrs with no criminal record. No due process, just pick them up from the street, work places, schools etc and lock them up then deport them No govt can stop illegal immigration but it can not controlled, businesses can not do without illegal immigrants, Trump himself benefited heavily from illegal immigrants. Allegedly Melania Trump stayed in US through "Einstein visa", a visa category reserved for people with "extraordinary ability'', individuals who have sustained national or international acclaim and recognition in their field...and Trump is deporting illegal immigrants? |

Jamesclooney: Great analysis as per usual 👍🏾 One choice they can make and it’s relatively easy imho is actually STOP THE BOATS and deport those in hotels/stop funding them! Just borrow some of Trump’s harsh methods and the illegal migrants will get the point and stop coming altogether. Once KS manages that, he’ll steal the thunder from Reform/Online Right and legal migrants will support this as well. It’s a no brainer for me. KS should not even think about it else labour party will be gone by next general election. What Trump is doing can only work in a lawless country like US. The British justice system will not even allow the govt to do what Trump is doing. Stop the boat YES but the moment they get into the country they should be treated with some level of dignity. If KS decided to do that then expect the economy to tank and everyone of us will 'collect'. Ask Americans farmers and construction companies how Trump immigration policy is benefiting them. |

isogee: The bank statement is genuine, UK home office aren't stupid, if its fake they would have issued a refusal letter and a ban, Ecobank is international bank and a big bank too and easy to contact. The letter said Ecobank has not responded to their email. I think I have to find a way for ecobank to respond to their email. It doesn't work that way, they need to have an evidence before issuing a ban or refusal and the process of getting that evidence is what they are doing now. If the bank refuses to reply to their email your application will be refused. If the bank replied to say that the bank statement is not from them then you will get a refusal with a ban. |

I’m sorry but you are not making any sense. The company will be held accountable for the damage caused by the employee, yes the driver will be arrested and charged but ultimately Dangote will pay the financial penalty then he can pass that to the agency that recruited the driver. |

omobaba101: VDM does not have the authority to do what he did and he could be arrested, prosecuted and punished. Law is not about emotion. Dangote as a person is not in any way responsible for what the Dangote Company truck drivers do. You can attach him to the company because it's named after him. Who do you hold responsible if Total Truck is involved in an accident. Dangote is responsible directly or indirectly. Yes the driver will be arrested and possibly end up in jail . It doesn’t matter if these drivers were recruited by a third party agency, that third party agency was contracted by Dangote |

To keep the story short they need to apply for ILR by october and the nigerian high commission has given them an appointment in December for passport renewal.
Please does anyone have any contacts here in London that could help these ladies. Because they have no other option. They don't have to use the passport but they have to submit it when going for biometric, they can use the NIN in place of passport. They need to explain this in the form that... the passport has expired hence the use of NIN. Use future date when they ask for the passport expiring date else you will not be able to proceed with the application. |
