Wow with all the negativity and conclusion about VDM. Humans are truly really the same, everybody else has concluded he stole the money without proof. They just want to see the guy fail, Witches don't fly at night anymore, they use phones and are on nairaland. Trust me, He'll recover everything

gunners160:
which people . VDM OR THE HACKER. FROM INITIAL BEGINING I KNEW THIS GUY WAS NEVER ACCOUNTABLE. HE JUST GO AFTER PEOPLE BECOS HE WANTS TO REMAIN RELEVANT. I know a lot of people are still going to say it is true and he is honest. The big question is what is the money still doing in his account>? it is for NGO not meant to be kept till date. Even if some are kept, some should be used for what they are meant to be used for eg, buying of clothes and food stuffs for the orphanage building toilets and schools etc. Why keep the money. Do they want to say that he has not drafted out what he will use the money for from that period till now. Gosh, humans are something else. Till date nobody has come out or any organization has come out to say they benefited from the money.

I started considering japa last month and it has been great following this thread for over a week now.

Actually what I'm looking for is a more secured future for my family. We make enough money to live great in Nigeria but currently we're in between expanding our business and relocating to the UK via the study route.

I've read some quite discouraging things online especially about how UK is slowing turning into a third world country.

I sincerely need honest advise so we can make the right decision between expanding our business here in Nigeria or start the UK relocation plan.

Is the UK still worth it in 2025 considering we have to apply for two students visa.

Also, I'll appreciate other countries recommendations too. Going for UK because I was told it's the easiest to get study visa.

Thanks everyone.

Mrs Assad of Syria files for divorce and seeks to move back to the UK.

https://m.jpost.com/middle-east/article-834499

What are the parallels with 15 yr old Shamima Begum?
Do the same laws for a child apply to a sick,grotesque rich white woman?

Mrs Assad actually has dual citizenship so she can be legally stripped of British citizenship and kicked up the butt to send her on her way.

@justwise

Good Morning once again, I want to bother you small today, So i wanted to ask you something, If i want to submit, I am seeing 2 Courier services there

1.) Courier Pass-Back (Optional)
2.) International Courier (Optional)

On this website https://visa.vfsglobal.com/nga/en/nor/additional-services, plus i did not see anything like service charge. When i called that lady, she said service charge , courier and all, then hung up, calling her again, she put my call on hold and after wasting my time for a Long time, she hung up. What exactly am i paying for? Do i need to Pay for international Courier and SMS or Courier pass Back and SMS only? and I am not sure i saw anything like service charge. I do not want to make mistakes as this is my first time with Schengen visas. Be of help.

Thank you.

True. Same way some Nigerians are so ignorant, they assume anywhere abroad is heaven and expect others to share their views

giselle237:
Different international passports too in the space of 2 years. UKVI will say this one is a criminal.

TheWitchKing:
Yes. I got it resolved. So see what happened , i managed to get on the chat with one of the operators. they Super friendly and he helped me pull thru it. I have been able to see the application and everything is good with the online application now. I was told to start the application without having to Login. Later , it takes you to the login page and you continue from there.

I thank you for your help. Jah bless.

A 18 years old girl tried to apply for a UK visa 2 years ago under a false surname coz she was trying to be a dependant of someone in the UK. She changed her surname then in both her International passport, bank account and NIN. She did biometrics too then. She wasn't granted visa. She tried repeatedly and was always denied.

Now she is 21 years old and married. She has already updated her surname in all her documents (intl passport, NIN, Bank etc)back to her original surname.

My question is, she wants to apply for a UK study visa now via Masters. Will her past action affect her now during biometrics and should she tell them that she has been denied visa before in the past in her application since she has been denied before under a false surname

TheWitchKing:

TheWitchKing:
So here is what , i crosschecked the website, and some videos, and i saw that i need to first create an application on udi.no, once i fill and pay the application fee, i take the remainder docs to VFS to submit together with my passport. Is there something i missed from here?

Again, The site is showing me I have Limited Access (udi.no) is there someplace else i should send in my application?

TheWitchKing:
Hiya people.

So i want to apply to Iceland, and i been looking for information to submit my visa application, I was told that the Embassy representing Iceland here in Nigeria is for Norway. So now i am stuck. How do I start the process, The lady answering for the helpdesk for Norway seems to have a heartbreak and is answering like a very stupid person, Not even giving the correct and complete information, Just said i go on VFS and select Norway and i would be redirected to the website to fill and pay the fees then come and schedule , what am i scheduling, she hung up the phone.

I am very tired. You cannot go to VFS office in Lekki to make enquiry, you cannot call on Phone and someone answers you like someone with her head. Who even send me sef make i call this woman this morning. Anyone with very detailed information on how to apply for Norway? Please let me know.

I was enjoying your writing until you began your unpatriotic and evil heart towards your fatherland.
Japan was built by Japanese
China by Chineses
Australia by Australians
But Nigeria is hated, attacked, abused by Nigerians.
Stupid of you not regarding the birthplace of your ancestors, shame on you.
I have lived all my life in 9ja and I am here to build her.
Finally I know all who left will come here hastily. COVID 9 pandemic is a child's play.
Africa has always been an haven of refuge.
I LOVE 9JA FOREVER

Justwise, good work, as usual.

Good morning House
I have been a silent follower since May. The UK visa application wait is tiring and exhausting as my case get as e be. I was banned since 2009 for deception and I applied for study visa since November 22, I received empty NSF since 29th of November for my spouse and Daughter too. Could it be the ban that makes the wait this long ? I have developed HBP just because of this. Guys I just need some sort of encouragement to know if any one who has gotten visa , even 15 years after the 10 years ban.

Zahra29:
Hi @justwise, just checking if it's okay to post the details of the NIN agent (not a personal contact, just a business service whose information is also online)? - otherwise I can DM the details to the poster. Thanks

While it is true that owing money to loan sharks does not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining a visa, the situation is more nuanced. Visa approval depends on factors such as financial stability, proof of ties to one's home country, and the applicant's likelihood to abide by visa conditions. If significant debt to loan sharks raises concerns about financial desperation or the risk of overstaying, it could indirectly influence the decision.

Additionally, embassies may review an applicant's overall financial situation to determine their credibility and ability to fund their stay. While loan shark debt is not explicitly listed as a disqualifying factor, its impact on an individual's financial standing could still come into play during the assessment process.

Give clear reasons why the statement isn't true.

Brimstone77:
she's not a Nigerian, and she's not traveling from Nigeria, she said her siblings are over there working the stuff for her..

I'm only asking if it's possible to be paying all these for a working visa been processed by the company or individual you're going to work for?

Brimstone77:
Hello guys please I need an urgent help.

A friend of mine applied for a working visa to Kuwait, she's going to work as a hair dresser.

Few days ago she got a call that her visa is out,today she's telling me that they are requesting for 1.5 million frcfa which equivalent to 3milion + naira,she's said they said money will be used to settle the agent that processed her visa and for her flight, I think the company she's going to work for will foot all her traveling expenses?

She's also told me that they had initially paid 1.5milion frca for the same visa..


Please is this genuine or she's been scammed or about to be scammed..

They have sent her the picture of the visa.

SoftSport:
Unpaid loans can indeed affect visa approvals in certain cases, depending on the country and the type of visa being sought. Here’s why:

Financial Responsibility: Some countries, like the US, Canada, and the UK, assess financial stability when granting visas, especially for student, work, or visitor visas. Significant unpaid debts may signal financial irresponsibility or an inability to sustain oneself abroad, which could lead to visa denial.

Credit Reports in Visa Applications: For specific visas (e.g., investor or employment-based visas), consulates may review financial documents, including credit reports. Unresolved loans, particularly if they have led to legal action, can raise concerns about the applicant’s character or reliability.

Overstaying Concerns: If debts suggest financial instability, it may raise suspicions that the applicant could overstay or work illegally to repay loans.

Legal Issues from Defaults: In cases where unpaid loans have escalated to legal disputes, judgments or penalties may be flagged in background checks, leading to visa complications.

Each country evaluates applicants differently, but maintaining clean financial records enhances the likelihood of visa approval. It’s always advisable to resolve such issues before applying.

Greetings everyone!

This is to appreciate everyone who contributed their opinion and advise during my decision stage. Some people have emailed me to know how the whole journey turned out. It is also wise that I give update on how it went.

Goodnews is that I have relocated and settled in UK now, and here is the story.

I accepted the offer in Brighton. We were still at processing stage of the job offer, while waiting for my NMC pin. Yes I passed my OSCE!

So I needed to get NMCN verification letter to be able to process my NMC pin, that was when I discovered that NMCN verification portal was shut. I could not verify. My pin was delayed. My employer could not proceed with the job processing. They got tired and cancelled the offer.

I was frustrated like most Nigerian nurses then due to the NMCN verification wahala.

But I kept faith on. I began to apply for jobs again. And after some months, I got another offer, a better offer than the first one. Thankfully, the NMCN lifted ban on license verification. I was able to verify my license, and proceed with getting my NMC pin.

The Trust (employer) sent me the necessary documents, including the almighty COS with which I applied for my visa.

In 7 days after my biometrics in Lagos, I got email that my visa (and that of my husband) have been approved.

We are happily settled here now and God has been so kind!

Thank you all.

I want Labour to deal with this social care staffing issue once and for all (not going to happen, I know).
They should try offering care workers good pay commensurate with the job and then see how many Brits languishing on the benefits rolls would be happy to get out of bed to take up the jobs. Then they'll truly have a chance to spike Reform's guns once and for all, otherwise try to stop their inexorable march to power in 2029.

I'd prefer the UK not to have these high levels of unskilled immigration because it simply gives the Faragists all the more ammunition to fight with. And ultimately, when they do get into power, they'll take it as a licence to be as nasty as they want to be, which'll end up taking us to a different level akin to US-style polarisation and all it brings.

You don't know how to follow an argument if you are dumb enough to believe that.

The more i interact with the people on this forum the more I come to understand why Nigeria is the way that it is.
