kokolet007: Hello house ! Please I need an advice on this issue, I gained and given a visa to study at university of Gloucestershire England , now the issue now is I want to go early and visit a family member in Scotland before school resumes. Can I travel directly to Edinburg Scotland or still go through England airport due to immigration issues? Hope I won’t encounter any issues at Scotland or better still I should go and board train jeje to Scotland. Thanks How early do you want to enter? |

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. |

Softmirror: So you can see the reason why I said it is not entirely true?! Read what you wrote all over again. Dangote is responsible for damages caused by drivers driving his trucks whether they are recruited by a 3rd or 10th party. That is my point |

Softmirror: That is not entirely true my dear friend. You need an up grade about individual responsibilities that employees shoulder when working for any company at all. 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 |

Lolli2pop: Hi family, please i know 2 ladies that need to apply for an ILR in October . They are both mothers so it skipped their mind to check the validity on their Nigerian parents. 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. |

Newbie2024: Working and the large deposit was not captured on the statement of account Excluding the large deposit when printing the statement is not a clever idea as some here think, It’s always a good idea to print out the account history including the large deposit, now that they are requesting for the source of the money, send them the account where you transferred the money from and your payslips. |

Kaykaychizzy: Good morning everyone. Please this question is directed to those in the UK 🙏. I was about sending accommodation fees to a landlord in the UK, but my bank requires his IBAN number which the landlord said he doesn't have or rather, they don't use it in the UK. Now, I'm skeptical of sending him the money through a naira account he wants to give me for the payment. I told him that I'm ready to pay for 2-3 months rent upfront when I arrive. He didn't agree at first but just today, he said no problem on my request. I have never met him before and I wanted to ask those already living in the UK if they believe or think this is real or am I falling into the wrong hands? Please someone knowledgeable with such should kindly assist me to understand this situation and if I have nothing to worry about.
Thanks ✌️ This does not sound good, you are likely to get scammed. Never a good idea to do what you are about to do. Wait until you get to the UK and view the accommodation before making payment. |

CoronaVirusPro: The country has its lapses I am not saying it does not not. Is security not an issue anywhere else where?
Please tune in to NBC now. Someone just walked into a bar in the US and shot four people dead. Those things are not peculiar to Nigeria only. It’s everywhere.
Your brother is at peace of mind. For someone saying in Maitama, he is not worried about mortgage or food. He is at is own peace. Do you know how many people abroad wants to be worried by only security? Many! Yes security issues are everywhere but Nigeria case is normal. its a source of income for kidnappers, its not the same with USA. USA security prob is self made and very peculiar to America because of their useless gun law. |

Naive man I guess your problem is that you can not read and understand jack, no where in my previous post did i say that govt provide those amenities, in fact i said the opposite.

CoronaVirusPro: Change your circle.
Go to the rooftop lounge on Fourpoint on Friday and see working class and business men seated. Is it not in this same country people are building houses across?
Don’t fall for that narrative. Same applies everywhere on Earth. If you don’t find a niche to exploit and make money, you will be left out.
The country is not doing fine but trust me, it easy to attain peace of mind in Nigeria. I mean worry free with sound sleep. Dude while in Nigeria i was living in Maitama with my brother and went to school there, my brother is still living in that area, there is no peace of mind unless you have your own security, your generator or solar panel. How many ordinary Nigerians can afford the life style you are talking about? Can you afford to be jobless in Nigeria and still get free medical treatment, your rent paid for, your kids education taken care off? That is possible in many developed nations abroad and that is what i called peace of mind. Peace of mind in Nigeria where kidnappers are having free rein? Bokoharam over running many northern states? |

CoronaVirusPro: I was only implying that you are more at peace having a house of your own in Nigeria than someone on a 15-40 year mortgage rat race.
People have outright peace of mind in Nigeria. It’s easily attainable in Nigeria unlike abroad. You get so soaked in debt that you can’t even break of.
I know that system to well. I saw it, not hearsay.
People staying in places I cannot even stay in Nigeria. Doing works I can never settle for with no life of their own You are outrightly lying to yourself here, peace of mind in Nigeria? How? For security? Constant power supply? Free or affordable health care? Good road? Living wages or available jobs after graduation? Please explain that peace of mind for me. |

Pascal9: do you pay tax for those amenities, you provide for yourself without tax, or government provide for you and tax you to the bone. Guy it's still the same system. What tax are you talking about? No govt tax citizens for amenities..they are provided by private companies, you only pay for what you used. |

CoronaVirusPro: That is the point. They are planning to return. That’s how relocation starts. Get something running before you finally move.
Ask same people how many properties they OUTRIGHTLY own abroad and see if you will find 1 in 20.
When you find classes of Nigerians who have started investing back home, the reality already hitting them. They only planning for now. Nobody with basic financial education will pay outrightly for a house abroad, it makes no financial sense and building a house in Nigeria is a waste of resources unless you are going to make at least 50% use of that house or you are building it for your parents. |

osmic4love: Pleasant evening, esteemed gurus in the house.
Please, I need urgent guidance on what to do next. I received an NSF email from UKVI requesting additional documents, which I submitted over two weeks ago. Since then, I’ve received no acknowledgment — no confirmation, no update — and I’ve resent the email multiple times without any response.
I’m genuinely worried and don’t know if I should escalate this.
If making a paid call or sending a paid email to UKVI is the best next step, could anyone kindly guide me through the process — how to go about it, the correct channel, payment method, and what to expect?
I’m honestly very anxious right now. I don’t feel like myself anymore — this situation is really taking a toll. Please, any advice or experience shared would mean a lot to me.
Thank you so much in advance. 🙏 What additional info did they ask for? |

You will never appreciate Nigeria till you live out of it for an average of 10 years. Remember this day I told you.
You will miss the life, the community spirit, the low to non existent taxes, the food e.t.c. You won’t appreciate those things now.
