@justwise. I am not silly and I did not make a donation, just like u

I donated as little as i can and i bought the charity single, even if i did not, i still give credit to America for their contribution

gtrings:
@justwise.

I have contacte the school and they will send me a "to whom it a concern" by email on monday. how about that

If i were u, i will visit the school and get the original copy, i hope BHC will accept "to whom it a concern" since u can defer its better to do things right and have rest of mind

slap1:
^^ And u tink dat even the almighty America is simply giving from the goodness of their heart. A green snake in a green grass is dangerous. America will benefit far more than they have contributed from Haiti.

Please stop being silly, how do u know they weren't giving from their heart and what is there for them to gain? They reacted so quick and gave human and natural resource to help dying and pple in danger and u are here to cast doubt one them. Did u send any donation?

@justwise.

What I mean is the Original certificate is Laminated and the form says i must submit the Original Certificate.
But the Uk visa site says they dont collect laminated documents.

I thank U for your answers Pls just help me lastly

When is ur course starting? If u can get the original copies from the school u graduted from then good since there is an issue about laminated copy.
Go to the school that issued those certificates and see if u can get another original copy, i know u will be asked to pay, but its better than been refuseda visa.

Justwise, thnks so muchhhhh, But am i going to submit originals of my credentials or wat, sorry for all these questions, this is d first time am doing this, Also, most of my original credentials are laminated, hope dis does not discredit me, thnks so much

Submit the original copy, it will be returned to u even if they did not u can request for it. Since some of them are laminated and u can't do anything about it then write a little note to explain that to them(just 2-3 lines). Good luck.

gtrings:
Thanks justwise. But the form states i must submit the original and photocopies will not be entertained. My friend submitted his and got his Visa last year. Dont U think I should accompany it with a letter.

Then that is a straight forward issue, since the form 'stated' original copy then do that, they will return the original copy to u and make a photocopy for themselves.

Of course, I got the job through an agent who scanned all my credentials to the employer in Dubai after the authetication of all documents here in Nigeria and I have not paid him any money to him.Infact, he is one of my neighbours and he has stayed in Dubai for 8 years before coming back to Nigeria.So, we see on a daily basis.Do you suspend anything.?

Since u haven't paid anything and he is ur neighbour then i rest my case. Good luck.

akanbijm:
I am planning to relocate to Dubai with 3 years woking permit which will be sent by the company that want to employ me over there. But, I am afraid of taking this offer because the job is for the unskilled worker and secondly I do not really know what is going on with Nigerians in Dubai.Currently, I have H.N.D in Accounting from one of the polytechics in Nigeria and I have been seaching for job for more than 14 months without seeing any job in Nigeria.I would be happy if the Nigerians in Dubai can help me answer the following questions before I take my final decision.
1. Is it going to be easy for me to get another job when I get to Dubai?
2. How is life in Dubai?
3.what should be my expectations in Dubai?
Please, I need advise from those who have knowledge of Dubai.

Did u get that through an agent? I'm just asking cos getting work permit as an unskilled worker sounds abit dodgy. I really hope u are doing the right thing

funkybaby:
So what have you been kissing then?

Serpents, rattlesnakes or zombies

I guess from the replies from some matured minds for and against, I would say there is nothing wrong in seeking friendship online. It's a new era, and like someone said, busy schedules and all that give no time for proper socialising. But as Orikinla stated, be cautious and get to know the person physically because some can cover up, use fake facebook ids to get u to add them, reveal your personal life while keeping themselves protected. If not for the risk of meeting the wrong people, I would advise online daters to keep it up.

Now u are sounding 'new fashioned'. haha

funkybaby:
He ya. Pele. What i believe is that the right frog will come along when one least expects.

Hope so, but i'm not ready to kiss around anymore untill, then. . .

denzel2009:
You frog kissers shd get a room or advise the poster

. . u can join us though u are not allowed to kiss funkybaby

If all my money was taken (not by force, mind you) by some 'scumbags' who duped me, then i'd really have to blame my own STUPIDITY and GREED. I insist that cybercrimes are much more preferable than violent crimes. Pray you never fall victim to robbers. Can you even fathom the trauma of robbers invading one's home, shooting someone and perhaps despoiling one's sister or something - in addition to carting away your money. My brother lets face facts: in the face of tremendous hardships and social pressures, and in the absence of any semblance of welfare systems and basics, resort to crime is INEVITABLE. Now all we can hope for are the 'lesser' crimes which, to my mind, are non-violent crimes like 419 etc. What can we do about that? Nothing. As long as the economy remains in tatters, these survivalist resorts to self-help would prevail. Life without money in your pocket is worse than death itself, believe me.

Lets set the record straight here, i don't feel sorry for some 'victims' of yahoo yahoo/419ners and those are pple who responded to the emails asking them to take part in transfering millions from Nigeria and cut their commission and pple who want to claim lottery money even though they never play any lottery, to me, both the yahoo yahoo and their so called victims deserved equal jail sentence.

Now the issue of identity fraud, atm fraud, charity fraud like this is just SICK, there is no excuse for that.

funkybaby:
wat?? one year of not kissing any frog?? you try oh.
hmmmm. . . you've given me something to consider
but doing that will give the last frog i kissed a sense of pride. . .thinking i stopped kissing frogs because of him. shior!!!
******rolls eyes******
i will keep kissing jare, just that i will be very careful and patient in selecting the frogs
thats the sad thing about a broken relationship. . . . all the time, emotions, energy, effort

Yup, i went through all that, kissed alot of them WITH good intentions but hey! some frogs can't be trusted then i said enough of this, a yr counting now, no frong kissing untill i find that frong that deserve the kiss for real.

Thanks to y'all for all this information. I am about applying for a UK student Visa for my ACCA/MBA and I have found this a lot helpful. Although, I am still waiting for my Visa letter/CAS number, I still need to clarify this issues although I am to resume Sept.
1) Must the maintenance fee/tuition fee be in my account during the application period after the 28 days or the money cant be withdrawn immediately I print the bank statement??
2) If I apply today, in how many days will they get back to me? Also, I heard dat I only need to apply, that there wont be interview, is this true
Please house, I will appreciate a reply, Thnks

Don't withdraw the money untill u get ur visa, they may have to call ur bank for some questions, to be at the safer side leave the money there.

It takes about 10days, sometimes even less.

They will not call u for an interview if there is nothing suspicious about ur application.

Cnice:
Prays the Lord, Halleluya!!!!!!!!!, I got my VISA yesterday after replying, I sent them a mail also and I got it yesterday, thanks to God and NL expecially Justwise, will see more of u in chat over there, am very happy, not easy but successful at the end.

cheers all.

Awwww. . i'm happy for u, u did it and u should be proud of urself. Congrat and the very best of luck.

gtrings:
@ell77 and justwise and evrybody.
I have laminated my degree certificates. is it true dat the high commission will not accept it. Pls help me urgently so i no wot to do.

No its not a good idea, make a photocopy of the original quick to avoid any disappointment.

funkybaby:


same for guys.
the good ones are hard to find.

guess, we just have to keep [b]kissing frogs [/b] until we eventually find our prince or princess.

Hahaha. . i tell u what? I have decided not to kiss any more frog for more than a yr now. . its completely waste of time and energy

funkybaby:
yeah, such things require long term planning/scheming

nope! am not giving you any links. keep your search for your "missing black rib" within west africa. prefarably nigeria.

Hahahahaha, u are a nut case, u really are. Ok, i will go with that, obviously my 9ja sisters get my vote for sure, _{d good ones are hard to find}

funkybaby:
what is the big deal in helping a true friend in need 

if she had planned this well ahead, she should have dated white guys and been active on several dating sites  and she might have been lucky to meet a man that would be willing to help her out

Exactly!! this last minute dash is always risky, i like the way u put it. .'true friend' that sounds abit harmless. . 
Do u know any website where i can meet a 'white lady'? ahaha

funkybaby:
hahahahhaha. sure, i will.

Off course u will!! u are not a funkybaby for nothing

funkybaby:
Okay. Noted.
I guess it was fun for you cos you know someone there.

I cannot carry my bags and head for hongkong ALONE in the name of vacation

I take ur point, but with my debit card and ready to carry ur shopping bag i'm sure u will change ur mind

funkybaby:
A debit card will do just fine. As long as you have about 10,000 pounds over draft limit

Truth is no vacation comes cheap. Hong Kong did you go alone? language barrier nko? a trip like that, i will rather go with a package holiday. . . tour guide, et al inclusive.

Believe me, hong kong is gr8, i went alone and their system is more like Uk system, buses are like what we have here, things are writen in english and their language, trains are better than what we got here, ALWAYS on time. announcements are made in english and their language as well.

They used to be under british so they still maintain the system even better. I visited a family member who works there and it was the best 2wks i have even spent outside Uk. Soho street is as busy as that of london and u will see alot of british there. _{Though its 13hrs flight from uk}

Much as this fraud prevalence in nija is highly objectionable, we really have to come down from our moral high-horse and appraise the reality on the ground. Man is by nature selfish; his need for survival always takes precedence over others' concerns. So, the joblessness and adverse economic conditions in these parts leaves 'boys' with no alternative than to 'hustle' whatever way they can. I'm sure most of us here got a headstart because of our parents' decent financial standing. You must be realistic enough to concede that not every one is that lucky. Personally, i prefer cybercrime to be more prevalent than violent crimes. I'm sure we all agree that Nigeria would be much safer if all armed robbers dropped their guns for computers. We'd sleep better at night! Aint condoning fraud; but i think it's a lesser evil.

Please give me a break here, will u? you refer cybercrime to armed robbering when its not your money been stolen, if all your hard earned money is taken away by some scumbags will you be saying this? Yes there are no job and things are hard for sure but its crime the answer? Why do we always give baseless excuses for shameful crime like this?

@kelvinoxx

Just shut up, u little minded criminal, u are everywhere claiming to be everything. See ur life. Shameful thief!!

@kelvinoxx

You got the link to ur hairy backside, mumu part 1.

@manmustwac

If her visa is expiring at the end of this month then its even more difficult to convince anybody that this is not sham marriage.

This is the prob when pple borrowed money when applying for student visa, they borrow money and put into their a/c and when the visa is issued the money is returned, they came here empty handed thinking that its easy to work and pay the fees.

You said she has being here for 2yrs, that means she should have been graduated a yr ago. well well well. . . .

lordbayor:
Well am not saying BBC are the problem but they are contributing to the problem, the problem is as important as those add more to the problem , Well BBC as it been called will always work to protect the image of the British no matter what, do you know that the worst scam is from Britain that is the Lotto scam?,
well that is not to say that Nigeria are not involve in scamming but if they want us to solve our problem let them leave us to solve it ourselves

What lotto scam? If the UK is that bad why are we selling everything to relocate here? No country is 100% clean but our case as Nigerians is alarming.

lordbayor:
Well this is not shifting of blame , and am not trying to say Nigerians are not capable of doing that act but what am just trying to clarify is that Why is it that Nigeria Name was been mentioned and other country are been speared , BBC have no right to make mention of any country Name if to respect true Journalism and when you look at the international Passport very well Your going to see the country of the Man inside it from Ghana , why was Ghana name too not mentioned uhnn, and in fact, i don't believe 70% of what BBC says anymore since they lied to us that Yar' Adua spoke to the Hausa corresponded and just days before that News has already come out that Yar' Adua had brain problem and he can't even recognize his wife

We are not helping ourselves here, no matter how much we try to deny this, the fact still remain that we Nigerians we pay dearly for this, the outside world will keep treating us as suspected criminals. This is just SICK

pacodas:
BBC likes blaring any bad news from Nigeria. Not withstanding they are their ancestors created this woeful country and set it on path of mediocrity

Yes if u creat bad news then pple will report on it, there is no point blaming BBC, some Nigerians are EVIL, admit it and stop trying to sound as a victim here.

FLOW101:
Some people are heartless. The whole world is bringing aid, Creditor Nations have forgiven Haiti their debts and all these guys can do is to defraud donors of hard earned money. If I were god, I will make these guys experience earthquakes and turbulence in their personal lives until they pay back that money. These guys are murderers. There will probably be people that may have been saved if more resources was available. But thank God for who he is, these guys will still live normal lives. (I am boiling with rage. I may come back to apologize for this remark but right now I don't mind ).

God bless u
