NAA WAA FOR NIGERIANS!

NO ONE WANTS TO GIVE ME ANSWERS.

HMMMMMM!

xkunzo:
firstly hong kong do not give visiting visa to nigeria passport holder , only student and business visa only .. and for the business visa u need local sponsor that help you to secure notarized invitation letter in Hk. business visa application can be summit to china embassy in lagos or your local sponsor in hk help you to summit

nairalanddotorg:
The issue is that I want to travel to UK
and make it big with my Nursing
degree.
I have not seen a lecturer that rides
Range Rover sports car and its like
and I want to be among the Range
Rover Sports guys.
WHAT DO YOU THINK FELLOW
NAIRALANDERS?

chiefconerstone:
I will advice you to ask anyone from Nigeria who left Nigeria with BSc Nursing for USA or great Britain and made it instantly . Your expectations are marveling for a young graduate. I am surprised that you don't have any passion except for mundane things like range rover and sport cars. is that all you are about? Those things that get outdated with time and usage? After that then what ? have you not seen illiterate mechanic driving such things in Nigeria? May God deliver you from mundane things. G[b]o to the west or Europe and see how Nigerian are paying taxes forever and are been treated like second class citizens[/b]. I will rather be a king in my own country even if I am drinking gari everyday. My brother nurses a driving something better than Jeeps in this country. There is no faster way around these things . Either way you will have to work for it and of course cars are liabilities not asset.

Maybe the writer was mixing up Peckham and Tottenham. They sound the same

That aside, it's a painfully badly written article.

Discount go Dey, lol.
That's where insurance comes in I guess, being abta bonded does give extra reassurance. Thing is not doing the bookings for peeps but having marketing destinations based on contacts in those places.
Still mulling it over though, thinking of specialising in south of Italy. Tailor made holidays.
Thing is Thomson sold other people's holidays, hotels etc and got commission from those sales.
Okay, I am not talking or thinking straight at the moment, been studying all day. I will try again tomorrow

shaybebaby:
Lots of city breaks see. I think that what I think we mostly do, go cities but what about the other types of experiences you can have on a holiday, safaris, Lake holidays, camping, glamping etc
So if I started such a business, I have one potential customer in you?
I have worked in travel before (Thomson)

shaybebaby:
More as a tour operator, putting together the experience and selling it a package .
I keep thinking it's an untapped market for our peeps but I maybe I'm talking gibberish.
What places you been?

shaybebaby:
Justwise, how much do you know about tourism as a business? Have you travelled extensively for pleasure in addition to being the general go-to on travel advise?

marylandcakes:
How can you compare Steven Lawrence to Mark Duggan?

shaybebaby:
Over 90% of land in UK is untouched..plenty of room if you ask me.
It might be overpopulated in terms of available housing (a much debated issue in politics right now because of the high costs caused by housing shortage).
The issue isn't availability of space, it is lack of housing to accommodate the influx of people.

ronvlaar:
Uhmmm... I really dunno where n how to start. I've actually flipped through some of the pages in this section and I must say u guys are doing a nice job.

Ok, I work and sch (MSC) here in Nigeria but my gf stays in the UK with her fam, we're planning for me to come and spend 2weeks (of course she'd take care of accommodation, feeding, shopping n the likes)

Now my questions are:
What is expected of me to do here to make this happen?
What likely questions will be asked at d embassy?
Tho I think I'll still have more questions to ask...

I'm trusting on u guys to provide me with adequate answers.
Thanks.

i have refused your application for visit because i am not satisfied that you meet the requirment of ...................... immigration rules.
althoug you stated your brother \is your financially sponsor i also take into consideration your personal and financial circumstance in nigeria.
you stated your apllication that you are single and are employed as higer excutive officer in the university earn 84.542.17 ( 292.58 permonth) you supplied zenith bank statement submiited and do not support recepit of this income. from the info on your application form and the document you have submiited. i am not satisfied that your employment and income is as stated. i am not satisfied that your econonic circumstance are settled and that they constitute ties thattend to support your stated intention to leave uk.
HOUSE i 4got to add the bank statement where salary show. but i dnt take it also because its just salary that goes in there and no reasonable fund there. only the zenith bank is her main account has 550k. she works in university a federal uni. what shoul i do since i cant go without her, she is the reason i applied for uk visa. thank
Hope justwise is here and other experts
