I said a Billion £ and you feel frightened? Americans are the easiest people to exploit. And actually had a friend back in the days and they developed this scheme (legitimate) to expoit Americans. It works like magic even till today!.

If I can raise a working capital of $100 million, I'll use it to take over a US county within 9-12 years. Within 30 years I could control a state.

musicwriter? You know nothing, you are all cheap talk with no action, you need to out get a lot more and stop reading colonia books.

What's the difference between God and Idol?, those people were singing and praying to God before they died inside water,
the same God whitemen used to scam us

..and many Nigerian pastors are using the same God to scam Nigerians today so what is difference between what a white did and what Nigerians are doing to their fellow Nigerians today?

musicwriter:
I' am going there to study the people and society- not as your typical student. Yes, of course, I already use the internet and had been doing so ever since. But, its not just good enough.

And no they wouldn't keep my money. I may invest N10 million there and leave with a Billion £.

I actually thought you knew what you are talking about but i was wrong

musicwriter:
I' am only using the opportunity created by the west to call my people to order.

Again, I'll never live in a western nation. Even if you pay me to migrate there, I'll reject the offer. At some point in my life though I'll be in US or UK to school......... hold on before you go ureka. I'll be there only to study the people and society- the same reason Lord Kwame Nkrumah went to study in England and USA.

Again, on no account will I travel to live in a western nation. NEVER!!!. Believe it or not.

No don't do that, you can't invest average of 10M naira a year in a country you hate so much, there are far too many videos on youtube to use if you want to learn about any western culture. Lord Kwame Nkrumah did that in those days because there was nothing like internet then.

It will be the hypocrisy of the highest order if you decided to study in the UK on US with the excuse of learning about their culture or people

Thanks. I actually went with an account statement of about 1.6 thereabout. It was an oversight or should I say "oversabi" dat the higher d budget, d better or so......, not knowing it was my undoing. I intend spending just 5 days now & would want my budget looking good. Pls, I would need all d scolding in d world to make it right this time around. Not that it's a do or die affairs anyway, but it's what I've nurtured to achieve, I've always wanted to visit d UK. So, please am I eligible to reapply now? Does this budget look good for a 5-day vacation : FLIGHT- 500GBP (200k+), ACCOMMODATION - 235GBP (90k+) & COST OF LIVING EXPENSES/MISCELLANEOUS - 500GBP (200k+) or make a reduction to somewhere around 800GBP?:
Will this fly for me? Or should I give it a break till mid-year 2017? Lastly, d itinerary d ECO made mention of, I think I did my best & that's why I want to know if I should stick to MANCHESTER or LONDON or even another city. Thanks for ur prompt response. God bless U, richly.

Your budget is still high for 5days trip considering your net monthly income, if you go through with it you will end up spending more than 4months of your salary in 5days.

If i were you i will leave it till mid 2017 as you suggested.

justwise, thanks for your response. This thread has been very helpful!

That is good to know

musicwriter:
That's exactly what I've been calling for ages- placing our native languages above English in our schools. If that is done, future Africans will speak and write in our various native languages.

Brainwashing education is the only reason you believe we lived in mud houses and used town criers while Europeans didn't.

For your information, Neanderthals also lived in caves in Europe. Later, they moved from caves to grass house, then to mud houses. Such was the evolution of the human race.

By the time of our unfortunate contact with Europeans, there were no significant difference between development in Africa and Europe. It was confirmed by a Dutch explorer.

When the Dutch first arrived Benin kingdom in Nigeria around the 1600 century they were so shocked about the rate of development they saw over here, so much that their expedition leader had to report back to Europe saying ''The town seem to be very great. When you enter into it you go into a great broad street, well paved, which seems to be seven or eight times broader than the Warmoes street in Amsterdam.

The king’s palace is a collection of buildings which occupy as much space as the town of Harlem, and which is enclosed with walls. There are numerous apartments for the Prince’s ministers and fine galleries, most of which are as big as those on the exchange at Amsterdam. They are supported by wooden pillars encased with copper, where their victories are depicted, and which are carefully kept very clean.

The town is composed of thirty main streets, very straight and 120 feet wide, apart from an infinity of small intersecting streets. The houses are close to one another, arranged in good order. These people are in no way inferior to the Dutch. They wash and scrub their houses so well that they are polished and shinning like glass''. And this scenario wasn't peculiar to Benin Kingdom. The Ashanti king in ancient Ghana kingdom was so rich that his official seat was made of REAL gold. Africa was extremely very prosperous before Europe made contact with us.

As a matter of fact, the British stole a lot of artworks from Oba Ovonramwen palace after they captured the king in late 1800 century. Why would they want to steal a substandard artwork?.

Binis were the first people to develop copper or brass cast artwork, long before Europeans or any of the known world at the time. Their artworks were so superior to Europeans at that time, such that it was and is still a subject of display in museums worldwide. In fact, white people have refused to return artworks stolen from Bini emoire, cause they're so precious.

Why we can't invent our own internet and device today..............................

But, everything changed once Europe made contact with us around 1400 AD. We became conquered and were no longer in charge of our destiny. We became slaves and could no longer sustain the development we've made then. Instead of developing our lands, African natural and human resources were being used to develop Europe. Therefore, we lost steam and were thrown into total darkness as a people for over 400 years!. But, within this 400 years of our slavery, Europe entered the age of science, technology and industrial revolution, all made possible by exploitation of Africa. Trains were built, cars were built, advancement in physics, chemistry, biology, e.t.c happened within this period, but sadly Africa was never a part of this technological revolution. Just imagine where a people could not make a single development for 400 years!.
Such was the case in Africa.

Worst of it all is that before leaving they installed a brainwashing education to keep us in perpetual imperial control in absentia- which is why you're here shamelessly defending our captors, even when they've left. Of course, I understand you know not what you're doing. I understand our current situation is as a result of many years of slavery, colonialism, intimidation, fake education/mis-education/indoctrination.

This fake education is our worst undoing today as its not allowing YOU to understand we had a life before we met white people and that we can do without them. What's worse than a slave who doesn't know he's a slave??.

Please go read ''How Europe underdeveloped Africa'' by Dr. Walter Rodney.

Dude you talk too much theories, go on do what you preach and live by example then the rest of us will see you.

Don't waste your time with me writing pages of retrogressive spins.

No country develops by moving backwards and isolating itself from the outside world

Hello Justwise and everyone, thanks so much for your advice, my husband and kids got their visa today after being refused due to no evidence of relationship such as photos etc, they didn't pay for priority and they got it after 7days of submission. Best of luck to those still expecting theirs.

Congratulations!

I have a question regarding UK Tier 2 points system. As a Nigerian, if I have university degree from a non-English speaking country, do I need to write IELTS or can I use my WAEC result as proof of English Language skills for the 10 points?

You can't use WAEC as a proof of English language

Reprobate:
so, my first post here, tried reading a few pages back, but didn't see what am looking for.
my uk visa will expire sometime in feb 2017, I have a 3.5month trip lined up next month, which inadvertently will spill over pass the expiry date of my 2yr visa, so my question is do I reapply for a new visa?..or just travel like that and try to extend it after it expires [I that option even exists].
I got the 2yr visa in 2015, and used it for a 2wk trip that same yr

You have to renew it before traveling.

@ Justwise, I went to the U.S. last year at my leave period & intended going to d UK equally for my leave, but when I was denied I went to UAE instead. I have a 10day off work every end of year, aside my leave at the mid-year & dat prompted me reapplying this November against December.
The yardstick for my denial baffles me, please help in any way to assist or address my new application. Thanks.

Considering the fact that you spent more than 50% of your salary on family needs leaving you with little over £200 a month to survive on you shouldn't be surprised that the ECO refused you a visa.

You stated that the trip will cost you more than £2000 in just 10days that means that your family will struggle to survive after that trip.

Is the 2.5M you have now from your salary? If yes then how did you managed to save that much between June and Nov?

I will be staying in hotel.


Sorry justwise for my many question. I am filling the application form now.

Then obviously the answer is NO

musicwriter:
I wasn't there when English was forced down the throats of our ancestors, and I went to school and was taught in English. So, I' am a victim by default. But, unlike you enjoying your slavery, I at least understand something is wrong when we can't communicate in our language, can't invent our own internet, can't manufacture our own device.

And that reminds me, people like you have been around in Africa since the 1700 century, who argued we should get used to slavery. According to them, freedom from white occupation was an impossible task.

Enjoy your slavery...........

Lazy excuses, the moment you realized that you are enslaved by the white man because you were taught in English language and forced to modern devices you should have rejected all and start communicating in your own native language and use town criers to send this message.

Move into mud house and use animals as mode of transport, don't worship God worship idols and use leaf to cover your unclothedness

musicwriter:
And if you're blaming our leaders, note that you too would be one of those leaders in 10, 20, 30 years. Who knows!.

If you hate this video, then stop worshiping white people and start calling for Africa to be self reliant. Let's create and take control of our languages, education, culture, ideals, philosophy, point of view, e.t.c. Let us just be Africans solving our own problems, same way Britain is cutting of from the European Union, cause they just want to be British.

As long as you worship white people and even thank them for giving you English language (which is destroying our native African languages) . as long as you think we cannot do without the west, for so long shall we look up to them, for so long shall millions of Africans be inspired to travel to Europe

African nations should cut ties with or at least minimize ties with western nations for a period of soul searching. Lets take control of our destiny. Let's take the bull by the horn. Only then shall we discover how to solve our problems ourselves.

If you give me the whole of Europe plus America, I'll choose Africa.

..and you wrote all these in the same English language on internet using a device invented by a white man?

I am not stay with a close family relative who is settled in the UK . So should the answer be No.

Who will you be staying with?

wola44:
The first questuon is "Is the main purpose of your trip to visit/

While the second question is " stay with a close family relative who is settled in the Uk ?


Thanks so much justwise for your quick response.

It's just one question not two.

They are asking you if you are going to visit OR stay with a close family relative who is settled in the Uk

wola44:
Thanks.

The first question is Yes while the second question is No. I am still not clear very well on the answer.

Which second question?

Ehimeomo:
Please house, i am a first timer in contributing or asking questions here. kindly assist justwise & fellow experts; my refusal decision was 1st June, 2016. i intend reapplying this November against traveling in December. i receive a monthly salary of #350,210 (after tax). in my earlier application, my living cost & supporting family as filled by me amount to #230,000 leaving me with a balance of #120,000 monthly. i was denied on these grounds:

1. You state that you will travel to the UK for 10 days. When asked on the visa application from you what you will do in the UK you have stated tourism. You state that you have no family in Nigeria and that you intend to travel alone to the UK. Additionally, you state that you have no family or friends in the UK and intend to stay at the MANCHESTER AIRPORT HOTEL. You have given little indication as to how yo intend to spend your time, where you intend to travel, what sites of interest you intend to visit, and why in particular you have chosen the UK for your holiday. The Home Office website clearly advises applicant's on what could constitute acceptable evidence and information to support their application. I consider it reasonable to expect you to be able to demonstrate you have knowledge of your chosen destination and plans. In the absence of such information it is difficult for mr to make any considered judgement as to your true intentions.

2. You have stated on your application that you are employed as a marketing manager and earn 350,210NGN/1,216.12GBP (1GBP: 287.97NGN as per OANDA exchange rate) per month.

3. You have stated that you spend 230,000NGN per month on living costs and supporting your family leaving you with a disposable income of 120,000NGN/416.70GBP. You state that the cost to you personally of your visit is 2,261GBP. This is over 5 times your monthly income once family and living costs have been deducted and i am not satisfied this is credible considering your personal and financial circumstances.

4. In light of the above, I am not satisfied as to your intentions in wishing to travel to the United Kingdom or that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit. Furthermore, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds available to cover your costs whilst in the UK without working or accessing public funds. Your application for a visit visa has been refused under paragraph V4.2 (a) (e)

Further Applications.
Any further UK visa applications you make will be considered on their individual merits, however you are likely to be refused unless:
* your personal circumstances change significantly between now and your next application.
* you provide compelling new evidence with your next application.

NB: Please Note, my circumstance. I am SINGLE, I have been to the US & DUBAI (UAE), actually my US visa is still running and have used it once, secondly I never stated i have no family in Nigeria, I have my mum (who stays with me & in charge of her care as well as my young siblings I equally help with little stipends for school). I don't know if not having my own family (married) amounts to me not having a family in Nigeria. I equally stated in my form that i would be visiting OLD TRAFFORD as a MAN-U football fan/enthusiast, also MANCHESTER ART GALLERY, CHINA TOWN & go shopping at the TRAFFORD CENTRE.
My questions are : 1. Can I change this my new application to LONDON or stick to MANCHESTER?
2. Can I reduce my monthly living costs to about 170,000#/180,000# or stick to my previous 230,000#?
3. I intend staying now for just 5days ( is it okay). NOTE NOW, I have about 2.5M in my account as i submitted all necessary docs. Kindly assist me. God bless you!

Did you travel to USA after the UK visa refusal?

@Justwise ,

" Is the main purpose of your trip to visit/ stay with a close family relative who is settled in the Uk ? NO/ YES "


My trip is for visit only not stay with close family. please what should be the answer because they combine it together ?

The answer to that question is YES

Sorry the passport will expiry in Nov 2017 not 2016 ? That a mistake

Ok in that case you don't need to renew it

abakilikiboy:
Hi everyone
I came to uk in 2008 with student visa, I got married to eea national and I was given 5year eea family member visa in October 2010, due to some issues we separated in September 2015. In October 2015 I applied for my permanent residence which was granted in April 2016 so I will be due for British citizenship in April 2016 by Gods grace.
In 2011 I traveled to Nigeria when I was still with my ex, I met my former girlfriend when I was in university in Nigeria, some how one thing lead to another she became pregnant and gave birth in 2012, the boy is now for years old now.
My issue now is I want to marry my baby mama so that I can bring both of them here in uk tho I want to do that after getting my British citizenship.
Please the guru's in the house what is the best way to go about it.

Explain what happened in 2011 while married in your form then submit all spouse visa requirements, there is no other way to go about it

@ Justwise & Others

Please few question-

1. My son passport will expiry on 12th Nov. 2016, can i use the passport to renew for 2 years UK visa ?

2. How much is 2 years UK visa fee ?

3. What is the best way of payment of visa fee due to Nigeria card issue ?

4. Website for UK application ?



Thanks.

I will only answer the first question because the rest has been answered far too many times here even on current page.


1. No you need to renew the passport

youseuph:
Ok. But should the money be left in the company's account bearing in mind that it's the account we transact with on daily basis, or it should be moved into my own account to indicate clearly that it is my own share of the profit for year 2016? Tx

Too late to start moving money around, leave the money where it is and submit both accounts, use the form to state that certain amount in that account is your share of the profit.

Please remember that your business partner must also state what each person share is AND your net profit in your tax certificate must show this clearly.

Any ambiguity could lead to visa refusal.

Nkiruka1986:
Hi All,

This is the first time I am ever posting on a forum so not sure exactly how this works... If I break any rules rest assured that it will be unintentionally so please let me know.

I am a British/Greek citizen (dual nationality) who recently got married to a Nigerian. I have been living in the UK for the past 11 years and my husband lives in Nigeria. We have been friends for a few years now and officially became a couple 2 years ago, on my birthday
A few months after we got married we applied for a spouse visa and were refused.
The reason for refusal is that they don't believe that our relationship is genuine and to be honest, looking at it from their point of view I can see why...
Following bad advice from my solicitor I only provided evidence of our relationship from our wedding onwards but nothing before that. Things are actually made even worse by the fact that we got married on the first day we physically met. When I arrived in Nigeria we already knew we wanted to get married so we went to the registry office to find out what we needed to do where we were told that for an extra fee we could get married on that same day! We decided to go ahead and do it thinking that the sooner we did it the sooner we would be together...
[b]The truth is that the evidence of communication we have before that is very limited as my husband did not have a passport so any money I sent was to his parents and as he didn't have a smartphone or computer until my visit we don't have emails or messages before our wedding. Due to the high cost of calls our communication was not very frequent and as he had a different number then (which he no longer has) there is an itemised bill of calls to a number that can no longer be verified along with calls to other members of his family (when the call to his number could not go through or when his phone had no battery).
The only other evidence I have is the receipt for a watch I bought him as a gift for our first Christmas as a couple (back in 2014) which has a picture of the watch on it and he can be seen wearing on our wedding day.
I also have the itemised bill I mentioned above which unfortunately only goes back to September 2015 as Lycamobile only keep records for 1 year, a log of western union money transfers going back to 2013, an undated letter that I wrote him where I do not refer to him by name, cards from friends about our wedding (undated and not stamped), and some undated Christmas cards I sent him with the watch...
Is it worth me lodging an appeal in your opinion? Any chance that the decision may be overturned by the ECM on this new evidence? If I reapply I understand that we may get turned down based on the fact that we have already been turned down before.
My biggest fear is that we will never be able to get a uk visa as the reason they are refusing is not something we can fix... unless someone knows to collect evidence from the beginning then there is no second chance... can this be fixed? If we apply again in a year's time with evidence that we are still together (communication, visits to Nigeria) do you think that they will still turn us down based on the fact that we have no evidence from before the wedding?[/b]
I apologise for the long post and I look forward to any advice you can give me.

A (heartbroken) Nigerwife

There is still hope if you want to reapply. Though he lost the number you used to call but you can still use the call history from your own end.

Evidence of gifts, money sent, Flight ticket when you visited Nigeria, pics, wedding cards all form part of communication and shows evidence of committed relationship.

Give it a thought
