Newmum0615:
What annoys me most is the fact that people who genuinely have circumstances such as being paid salary in cash or can't get reference letters from their employers will bear the brunt of all these rubbish questions some of you ask here.
@justwise, please in the name of everything we hold sacred on this thread, henceforth, anybody that asks any incriminating question here should be banned indefinitely. It should not be up for discussion. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We have pleaded and cajoled, but no one is taking it serious. I will keep reporting any post that contravenes this simple rule. It is enough. If you insist on cutting corners, don't let us know about it. We really are not interested.

Good day house, please i dont know if anyone has had my experience before.

I applied for France visiting visa through VFS in February 2018, but was denied with the excuse that "my intention was not justified". Though, i wanted to visit France and South Africa for my vacation then, so i only went South Africa.

After, i came back fro S.A, i reapplied for the France visa again, now with the inclusion of my leave letter from my office, since im still within my 6 weeks leave period.

This time again, when i went for the collection of my passport, i was again denied, but the strange thing was that my passport was not returned to VFS, rather a note that my passport will be returned to the IMMIGRATION SERVICE.

From March till date, im yet to get the passport from the immigration, both in lagos and abuja.

There's no way you can make enquiry from the embassy because you won't be allowed in but just to call a phone line at the gate, and the only answer they do give is to check at the immigration office, if not there that means is still under processing.

Please, what are they processing for almost 5 months now. Infact my UK visa got expired on the passport.

Anybody with such experience? and pls advise on the way forward.

Will really appreciate house.

Hmmm....who pays to sustain UK NHS? I want to believe it's the taxes which might be very high?

Either way, the US is way bigger in size and population than the UK...and both countries are dealing with different legislative governorship.

What might be easy to work in the UK might not be feasible to work in the States.

Where does America stand globally? According to the World Health Organization, the following countries have the highest rates of obesity.

1. Republic of Nauru

Formerly known as Pleasant Island, this tiny island country in the South Pacific only has a population of 9,300. The country has the highest rate of obesity in the world with 78.5 percent of the population categorized as such. Unsurprisingly, they also have the highest levels of type-2 diabetes in the world.

2. American Samoa

Another South Pacific island, Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the U.S. With a population of 55,519, according to the latest U.S. census, 74.6 percent of its citizens are obese.

3. Tokelau

Yet another South Pacific Island, Tokelau is a New Zealand territory with less than 2,000 inhabitants. It's the fourth least populace country in the world, but 63.4 percent of the population is obese.

4. Tonga

Fourth on our list is yet another island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Tonga is a sovereign state in Polynesia that gained its independence from the British in 1970. They are the largest nation by population so far on the list with over 103,000, over half of which are obese-56 percent.

5. French Polynesia

Seventeen hundred miles away from Tonga is French Polynesia, comprising of around 130 islands, including Tahiti. French Polynesia is an overseas country of France, but the president of French Polynesia maintains position as head of government. They have a population of 268,000 and an obesity rate of 40.9 percent.

6. Republic of Kiribati

Number six on the list is another island nation, though this one is in the central Pacific Ocean and straddles the equator. With a population of 103,500, Kiribati has an obesity rate of 50.6 percent.

7. Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is the first country on the list that is not an island. The world's largest oil exporter has a population of just under 30 million. Their obesity rate is 35.6 percent, meaning over 10 million Saudis are obese.

8. Panama

This Central American nation is home to 3.6 million, a world-famous canal and an obesity rate of 34.7 percent.

9. United States of America

Coming in at ninth place, America has an obesity rate of 33.9 percent, according to the WHO. The rate has been steady since 2005, but has grown exponentially since the late '90s, when the rate fluctuated between 16 and 20 percent. With a population of 313 million, the 33.9 percent rate translates into over 106 million obese Americans.

10. United Arab Emirates

Rounding out the top 10, the United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates including Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The country has a population of five and half million and an obesity rate of 33.7 percent.

Hello everyone, please I'm having difficulties making payments for UK visa application. We're a family of 4, and after I successfully made the first payment of 567$ the other application fees would go through. I have made several calls to access bank, they claimed everything is fine from their end that the unsuccessful payments I complained about didn't hit their server (Not seen). I even tried paga, which also failed even though I was debited the 567$. Has anyone been in this situation before? please help a brother.

Hello guys, please i need your opinion on my matter ooooo. I got an official employment letter of a two years contract job from NELMAN OIL AND GAS CANADA but in the employment letter I was told to get my life insurance card from their specific insurance company (Every life insurance company) they use in the company, which I contacted the insurance company and was told that my insurance fee is 3000 dollars for period of two years of the job and am to pay half of the money before they can start the processing of my insurance card which will enable me have a work permit with the help of the company that recruited me. Please am confused ooooo, am I to pay for the life insurance card before I resume the work in Canada? Please hope its not a scam. Please i need urgent response. Thanks
