IntroVAT: Hello all...
Please what are my (cheapest) options of flying from naija to the uk?

I'm going from abuja to london (heathrow) and I plan to book a flight for next week (one way) but what my eyes are seeing

Please help me recommend cheaper airlines. Thanks

Cc justwise cc donoms cc spikesC

I don't know any cheap one, haven't traveled recently.

Pirooo: Tx Justwise. I knew I did apply late but that was because I am getting a govt financial sponsorship. I couldn't apply until I got the sponsorship letter and introduction letter.

Meanwhile, a few of my peers who applied after I did have gotten their visas. Though they applied in abuja.

Wait and see what happens...you never know....

P406: Can anyone volunteer an answer?

Justwise please do you have an idea?

I got no idea, i guess you could check the embassy website.

pansophist: Blaming the government is not an escapism, if the government has made Nigeria better in terms of infrastructures, jobs and other social amenities that will make the mass comfortable, then I see no reason why Nigerians will commit much heinous crime abroad in order to obtain residnecy. Emigration from Nigeria also started skyrocketing as things begins to go bad in the country, it was not in this case in the past 30 years, so why now? why the sudden desperation of change and mentality?

The country you mentioned as a defense to your post doesnt support whatt you are trying to prove.. Botswana population is about 2million, Botswana is so small and Botswana is one of the good countries to live in Africa, their passport can take you to many countries and the government are up to their task. Zimbabwe in the second hand is a very small country too compare to Nigeria, their government trying to make life comfortable for its citizens and are not in the same league as Nigeria.

Papua new guinea is also a very bad example too, PNG are scattered all over Australia in detention camps, seeking asylum and trying anything possible to leave the country, they dont have to go to Europe, US before you are convinced that they do not have the same mindset of fleeing if given the opportunity. PNG is geographically closer to Australia, and just like Mexicans flee to US at any given opportunity, the same applies to citizens of PNG too.

If you combine the population of the three countries you mentioned, it is slightly over the population of Lagos state (one of the 36 states of Nigeria) alone, so why compare them to Nigeria?

I reiterate, if Nigerian government make Nigeria a favourable place to live, Nigerians wont be destroying the image of the country offshore, it is years of malfuntioning that has gone so bad that the average mindset is to immigrate legally or illegally, and it is common with the folks in the lower rung of the social ladder. The citizens are to be blame too, but they are just a victim of a society that care less about them.

Do you really believe that? China is a very wealthy country but at the same time many Chinese are committing as much heinous crimes in the UK as most Nigerians, you don't blame the govt for crimes Nigerians commit outside Nigeria.
This got little to do with Nigerian govt not developing the country, America and the UK etc are very developed countries and their govt look after them but their citizens engage in frauds in much larger scale than Nigerians, do you blame their govt?

Nigerians outside Nigeria commit crimes purely because they are greedy.

Pirooo: Prof Justwise & Others,

Kindly give your candid advice.

I submitted my application at Teleperformance Lagos on 1st sept. I have been checking on them and ukvi after I realized what I've gotten myself into from information on this thread.

Ukvi's response to my email on Frid is attached.

My school already resumed and lecture starts tomorrow.

Can I cancel my visa application at this stage cos I'm already thinking of Jan option if I get a good school.

Kindly advise.

You applied too late, canceling it now wouldn't make any difference, let it run it course, if you got refused based on late application you can still reapply for Jan admission.

emperoracro: @ Beejaybrave, Vanrichie4u pls i need a sample of
1) Study leave letter addresssed to CDHC

Pls help me, God will grant ur heart desires

Are you not suppose to get those from your employer if you work?

Kunleoduwole: Hello House,yesterday i was at the uk vfs to pick my application .Upon opening the package,i discovered my passport was not inside,but the note inside the pack said my passport has been retained because it had counterfeit Nigerian and Ghana immigration stamps. Though prior to my applying for a uk visa,last year i gave my passport to an agent to help me stamp on it to show fat i had a little travel history.The note further said enquiries will be undertaken before the passport will be forwarded to Nigeria immigration abuja..Dont know what to do now.

Congratulations! I'm happy for you...smh

Olisedinma: Hello House,

Would I require a transit visa if my flight to Manchester goes through Istanbul, turkey?
Responses pls.

Cc: Justwise,SpikesC

Nope, like DonOm said you don't need one.

IntroVAT: Ok now i've gotten my visa, when can I start "touching" my maintenance funds?

I mean when can I start using it such that it could fall below 9180?

Am I still required to present evidence of funds to anyone?

Thanks


Cc justwise

That money is yours 100%, what you do with it is nobody's business but proof that the money is available to you for use in the UK, so...the only place you 'maybe' asked randomly about that money is at the POE, just hold some cash...£1000 to £2000 cash and tell them(if asked) that you have the remaining on card or it will be transferred to you when you get to the UK, settled and open bank account.

JayKayMaybachz: Lol... what i mean is that.... some peeps really abide to the norms of the church..... "christianity" ah mean... some really don't .... buh at the end of the day, the still believe in God.... Meanin we ain't in ghuud position to ask who is really following up.... Only God does

I asked that question because some Nigerians especially are very good at quoting scriptures but awful at doing a tiny % of scripture they quote.

This is one of the reasons why despite the fact that we have churches in almost every street in Nigeria, many tongue speaking and devil castling 'men' of God Nigerians are still regarded as one of the most corrupt and dishonest people in the world.

Our actions speak opposite of what we preach.

@Op...to answer your question...if i'm in love with somebody and we respect each other's principles then her faith will not bother me.

Believing in God will not be in my top 10 list of criterias because merely saying that you believe in God does not mean that you also do the will of God

otunbakolawole: He's french. But has been here more than 15yrs. Going and coming

He needs multiple entry visa to be able to leave and re-enter Nigeria.

maka11: No i didnt i told her to open a new savings account in her name and she deposited the money there for the required 28days peroid but i am worried when he told me that why didnt i use her companys account and i told him i read the uk guidance rules for tier4 and i was told i cant use a companys account..and does it matter the name of the depositor?? Cause 3m no be money wey u fit dey carry up and down na baba justwise pls enlightnen me o cause the call scare me like hell

How much was deposited into that account?

otunbakolawole: @justwise I don't know if u could help. I have a friend who has a stay visa for Nigeria, he travelled out of Nigeria recently and on his return, immigration is about to bounce him back to France saying he needs to have multiple entry visa. What can he do now?

Is he a Nigerian or French?

JayKayMaybachz: Yhu wouldn't know who is who.... Leave people to their life

I'm not sure you are answering my question

madmadu: 2 cor 6: 14- do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. for what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? or what fellowship has light with darkness?

Do Christians follow that scripture strictly?

maka11: Yes oo @ justwise i was called few days ago myself by one of their ageny from uk asking me about my application he asked where my money come from and whatvtype of work is my parent doing he even ask what i have been doing ever since i finish skool..and the money deposited in my mums account was thru my mums PA coz he is the one that take care of her cimpanys money anf i hope i wibt be refuse thru this cause he asked me who he is

Did you use your mum's company's account?

@Hahyour

That is very uncommon because they don't normally make such call asking for the source of income and where an applicant plans to stay.....this is a sign of policy change as regards to source of finance.

That said...genuine students has nothing to worry about, you should be able to answer any question if called regarding your course or source of your money.

This sort of thing is triggered by suspicious activities by the applicant. The UK student visa is the easiest to obtain and the rules and requirements are straight forward but that will change pretty soon as people continue to abuse the financial requirement aspect of it because that is a big loophole in the system.

Hahyour: @justwise,spikecc and all other gurus in the house Gud am all..Please is it a most that we receive another call from someones Uk cos of my application,cos mine is a tier 4 General student visa

What call? Interview from the embassy?

AceMiss: Justwise,that was not directed at you at all. You have never been to anyone on this platform. Let me use the opportunity to thank you for all your help and advice,it finally paid off. You are appreciated.

No worries, glad that it worked out for you.

AceMiss: Justwise will NEVER give a response like that. Just because we ask for advice and opinions doesn't mean you should be rude in your responses. Always remember that nobody know it all,not even you.

What part of my responds to your question was rude?

NuNu08: Tnxx so much Justwise..i pray i get my visa...Ignorance made me got banned. i'l be back to let you knw when we have all our documents put together for confirmation.

No worries, all the very best.

DobraDobra: Haba justwise temper justice with mercy let us see his next step if dia is true repentance. We all sin against God and he forgives its better we know ststeven as ststeven than to come out in another name. Let him step on toes and peoples nerves again and then take this action. D decision is abosolutely yours

He is not any useful here, his action is premeditated and malicious. Let him get another ID and we will see how it pans out

oyidiyaagbayi: @justwise, please what happened to the thread, welcome to America, I can't find it or is it no longer available.

Probably gone when nairaland was attacked couple of months ago

Peacock23: Am back again to give a quick update about my eea family permit,I decided not to take the advise I got here and applied for yet for another eea family permit and guess what I got it.

You need to print out the chat histories in bbm and Skype, call histories, evidence of money sent to you, copy of those flight tickets.

StSteven: Tot the VO shared the interesting part of the experience already... u still want the full details?
Tho d experience is still on going.
@ddreams... wat u did was real. You supported a ministry so ur ministry shall be supported too.
@ all... before u say anytin further to entice the VO here, remember we r all Nigerians o

You are everything we don't want here. Yes we are all Nigerians but a better Nigeria is the one without fraudsters like you.

You are banned.

NuNu08: Yes he does!

I need to add that with one child the amount is £22,400

You need to add proof of accommodation e.g mortgage or tenancy agreement paper.

Does he send money to you in Nigeria? Has he visited you? How do you communicate? ( phone calls, Facebook, whatsapp etc)

Family pictures, wedding pictures etc

MedicDee: Hi Justwise.

Sorry for the silly question but does receiving the email that "the application has been approved and the visa has been issued" mean the visa has been issued?

I've asked before and keep getting different answers.
Please help.

Thank you.

Yes your visa application has been approved

GeneralShepherd: Justwise I've received the email that my visa has been approved on tuesday. I just want to say a very big thank you for your selfless service.

Its all good bro, very best of luck as you embark on your journey.

queen47: Thanks. So i should expect same questions i was asked in my previous interview?

Maybe, maybe not but i don't think its going to be something different from your previous experience

Silkmoth33: however we should consider dis insightful.

It's not, so amateurish. No CEO with knowledge of social media will say that.
