🇷🇺 Russian jets are more rugged and can operate in very harsh weather conditions.

Please can you help me or direct me to the page (if it is on this thread) where I can get information on inviting my mother from Nigeria to the UK. I am searching for the detailed documents needed for my mother and I. Also how much do my mother and I need to show in the account.

If anyone else has done this before, I will need your guidance. Thanks

BTW, I recently received a warm-worded letter from ndi-Canada.
It read; 'Thank you for choosing Canada!' - I replied; 'You are very welcome my people' (soon to be compatriots, I hope)

Looking forward to a new adventure- abeg make una wish me luck.

P.S if any is eagerly waiting for me to leave, do remember that a Brit always thinks home.

The grooming gangs is actually an extremely serious matter and it's been widely known for many years that the members of these gangs were predominantly from a specific demographic.

You lack sense of humour.

lavida001:
Several of my post have been deleted with no explanations and I find that bizarre and like a tyrant behaviour. And you that thing where you go out and dig out people old post you need to stop it. I don’t know what you are trying to prove.

jedisco:
Interesting. I'd argue that posts are better hidden as per the 'disclaimer: every Nairaland member is solely responsible for anything that he/she posts or uploads on Nairaland.'

As far as I know, when I and my wife arrived at the UK border control last August, my passport was stamped while hers wasn't stamped. Our situation was different, she has a BRP, while I was on a visitor's visa. She went back to the officer to ask and she was told that it wasn't necessary for her cos of e-visa.

Chinlov:
Please those that successfully used expired passport did you put a future date to continue the application.

Taal17:
Yes you can travel on expired passport.

However, if you want to return to the UK with a UK passport you would be asked how you entered without visa. That part I'm not sure

Olamii54:
Pls has anyone travelled and they didn’t stamp he’s or her passport at the immigration border !!!

Is this possible @justwise

SoftSport:
No, traveling to Nigeria (or any country) on an expired passport is not allowed. An expired passport is not considered a valid travel document, and you will likely be denied boarding by the airline or entry by immigration authorities. Here’s what you need to know:

Traveling to Nigeria:
Valid Passport Required: You must have a valid passport to enter Nigeria. If your passport is expired, you need to renew it before traveling.

Visa Requirements: Depending on your nationality, you may also need a valid visa to enter Nigeria. Check with the Nigerian embassy or consulate for specific requirements.

Returning to the UK:
British Passport: If you are a British citizen, you can use your valid British passport to return to the UK. However, you must still meet the entry requirements of Nigeria (valid passport and visa, if applicable).

Steps to Take:
Renew Your Passport: If your passport is expired, renew it through your country’s passport office or embassy before making any travel plans.

Check Visa Requirements: Ensure you have the necessary visa for Nigeria if required.

Carry Both Passports: If you hold dual citizenship (e.g., Nigerian and British), carry both your valid Nigerian and British passports. Present the Nigerian passport when entering Nigeria and the British passport when returning to the UK.

Important Notes:
Airlines and immigration authorities will not allow travel on an expired passport.

Always ensure your travel documents are valid and meet the requirements of both your destination and home country.

omabroowniee:
Hallo can someone travel to Nigeria on an expired passport and return back to UK with a British one please?

missjekyll:
I think Zahra has got it right. It's a boxticking exercise just to check that there are no diagnosed mental health issues that's being worsened by waiting.

They certainly don't want any responsibility for any drastic action on the part of the applicant.

I would email back and gracefully withdraw any reference to mental health diagnoses then go the MP route if still being delayed.
Hopefully it's won't be much longer.

Hehe. Cant deal.. Trump is a daily new headline.

BTW, can mods on NL edit individual posts?

SIRTee15:
u sent me an e-mail regarding the query I raised with the mods about a significant event that occured yesterday.
my privacy was seriously compromised when someone here leaked my data.

Goke7:
They even called Kamala DEI hire 😂

The lady bishop that was begging baba trump for mercy on immigrants some even want her deported, to where I don’t even know 😂 the same mercy that bishop was asking for is what a republican congress woman of Cuban descent is asking baba Trump for now by writing to the homeland department to spare her Cuban people that are awaiting processing of their status. Just bunch of unserious and inconsistent people.

jedisco:
Hehe. I'm not a Trump fan but it'd do the demogratic party and wider left good to be a bit introspective and consider wider reasons before narrowing it all down to racism. Many have accused the democratic party of being to high-handed and failing to connect with the average person.
Yes a huge chunk voted on racial grounds but there are still many more that didn't.

Goke7:
There have been inconsistencies on the reasons given for folks swinging to the right, the same people will tell you tomorrow that it was because of the economy or inflation another day they will tell you it’s because of immigration and the southern border. All sorts of excuses all in the name of being politically correct so it’s neither here nor there from my observation. Even the DEI excuse thing has been used by many to portray that it was mainly used to promote the trans community while denying the many other benefits it brings for an integrated society.

ttmacoy:
As I said in your lie you claim he signed a bill instead of an executive order.

Alot has been said about AI and how it'd render many jobless. I absolutely agree its revolutionary however history has shown us we tend to overestimate the impact of a new tech advancement in the short-term (leading to market frenzies) but underestimate its longterm effects. Same story led to the internet boom of 2000. Many people made postulations in 1998 of how the internet wuld render postal workers useless e.t.c. While certain changes took place, we still have postmen today. Very few would have envisaged how large Internet based companies would grow, or jobs and future tech they'd create and even AI we have tethered to it today. Another good example is electricity, the printing press even crypt0 - brilliant tech, early hype but still yet to find a widely accepted everyday use case (yes, I'm 'invested')


I work with lots of AI models and have found them to be mind-blowing at times. Healthcare is heavily targeted with AI as funding is government backed, services need to cater to millions and our systems move slowly. So as a tech coy, once you get some buy-in you're almost sure you have lifetime customers. I use an AI scribe that helps write up my notes, write referrals e.t.c. Its good- can it replace a practice secretary? Not yet but time would tell. Some have said it might replace healthcare professionals- again, time would tell. I have recently used AI to analyse a 30 page contract I'm previewing. The intriguing thing about AI is that the version used today is likely to be the least advanced version one would ever use. All said, I think it'd be a feature to enable us improve productivity as a stop gap for our declining demography. Only downside, is that it can't consume- it may need electricity and a few chips but its not getting groceries, eating out, going to dinner e.t.c. It can't produce the demand capitalism feeds off.


With AI, I'm taking it a step at a time, avoiding the excess hype but being abrest with it.

United States wouldn’t be so enticing if the foundational fathers refuse to make it attractive. Would it ?

And what ordinary Nigerian are spending their entire savings to give birth overseas?

To be clear, I didn’t come here to study I was born here

lavida001:
As the main applicant on a student visa, can I join my wife to apply for tier 2 visa if she happens to be given cos from her job?

Or we should just go ahead and apply for the PSW visa ?

lavida001:
Hello Comrades my wife has her maiden name on her passport and not my surname because I’m the main applicant . Will that affect our visa application outcome/processes? Kindly respond

Goke7:
I always laugh when I see folks from ethnic minority backgrounds speaking against DEI. Since yesterday I've been seeing some of Trump's supporters trying to cherry-pick his policies and I am saying are you kidding me? Dude is an entire package you have to accept wholly, no cherry-picking. You collect wetin you see. The consolation however is that it's just 4 years and all the madness will be over and folks can at least start all over again.

lavida001:
Give me one reason why Nigerian politicians and elite refuse to give birth to their children in Nigeria.

Maybe with this order they will quit being greedy and begin to fix the dilapidated healthcare system in Nigeria or they will find another safe haven that offers citizenship by birth.

Goke7:
Many big organizations already abolishing DEI
