Thank you members.
eagerly waiting for your advice

rckm: I can assure you that the invitation letter is genuine.I applied through the MOD online application as a commonwealth citizen.Concerning the accommodation,I will be staying in a hostel since my UK cousin has a limited space in his house.My query is,will the UKBA accept the fact that my financial sponsor is a cousin living here in Kenya? HE is a businessman with a good bank statement plus business registration certificates.

Are you a Nigerian or a Kenyan?

rckm: Yes I have an official invitation letter from the UK army asking me to go to UK to complete my assessment.They told me that I am to meet all costs of travel,accomodation.To be precise,I am to fund myself.They advised me to apply for a visitors Visa even though they claimed to have no any other support they can give to the Visa office to process my application.

If you are sure that its genuine UK army ministry that is inviting you for recruitment training (Though i have my doubt) then present the invitation letter, prove of financial sponsorship from your cousin but your cousin has to give you paper evidences of his sources of income....payslip/bank statement. Tax clearance certificate (if he owns a business) etc.

If you are going to be accommodated by your cousin in the UK then he has to send you prove of adequate accommodation for you for the duration of your program in the UK.

dollypi: ‘Well-off’ university students who stole £175k of cash and handsets from 19 retail stores jailed
Alexander Okafor, Oludare Gbajabiamila and Michael Adu, University of Hertfordshire students rob phone stores


Members of a violent gang formed by university students, which went on a seven-month crime spree, robbing 19 mobile phone retail stores, have been jailed for more than
62 years.

The students, all from the University of Hertfordshire, stole cash and handsets worth more than £175,000 from Phones 4U, Carphone Warehouse (CPW), Orange and T-Mobile stores in London, Hertfordshire and Essex between March and September 2010.

The three ringleaders of the gang were Alexander Okafor, Oludare Gbajabiamila and Michael Adu, the last of whom is pictured tying up a member of staff during a robbery at a T-Mobile store in Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex, in which two bin bags full of BlackBerry handsets were stolen.

USAMarshal: Hello nairalanders/ I like the advice being given here.

My brother wants to go to the UK for a conference on business development. He is actually not going for business. He is going for the conference. My question is what category of visa should he apply for. Business or tourist? He has about 800k in his account with a monthly income of 100k. What are his chances of getting a visa.

Business visa is what he needs, does he own a registered business, pay tax from his business earnings, invited by the conference organizers?

Had a good reading, love the thread, @op keep updating the thread

Were you given an official invitation letter by the UK army and asked to sponsor yourself to the UK?

[quote author=Okija_juju]And nobody said all Igbo men should return to the East..
Simply relocate to safer states... Ibadan, Kwara, Ogun, Bayelsa, Edo e.t.c.. Even Zamfara sef.. But definitely not these states that have recorded bombing actions and senseless massacres..

Its like an Igbo man still living in Jos!! [/quote]Exactly!! move to a safe place first, be safe first before all these silly excuses....its difficult to move after 20yrs, i'm planning to move..bla bla bla, when they kill him then he will move from the grave

tunnytox: Is he the only ibo man in the Bauch1? is their any pogrom against Ibos in Bauchi? Are there no Ibos left in Bauchi? at least some members of his family has already relocated and he was trying to make provision for them, planning for their welfare and his eventual return. If all ibos relocate to the east can the east contain them? Its so easy for you to come to internet to run your mouth but wait until you have some hungry mouths to feed without moneyy before you start to run your mouth. Its people like you that will encourage people to leave but when they get back to the east you'll turn them to object of ridicle.
Your f00lishness and lack of sensitivity is obvious so I won't waste any of my time replying you again, you and the likes of you can continue to wallow in ignorance and stupeedity.

No he is not the only Igbo man in Bauchi, he should wait until all Igbos in Bauchi are killed or moved before he does? Every Igbo man in Bauchi came from a family in the East, so your argument that if all Igbos goes back that the East will not contend them is just nonsense.

It doesn't take a prophet to know that its a life and death decision, you don't need to be persuaded, life is far more important than all the wealth he had acquired. You don't live in danger zone where people are being killed at random and still procrastinating, you take whatever you have and leave!!!, safe your life first before thinking about what to eat or where to live.

Your argument is just childish.

tunnytox: apart from being a mod he is fond of trying to prove 'justwise' like his monicker but most times I saw him argue blindly on several threads i just look the other side but since he decided to quote me on this thread I will not hesitate to expose his f00lishness.

Fools likes you will put money first before lives of their family members, the man was planning/trying to move all his families to the east, he was still planning as remembers of his family were killed, he will still be planning until he is killed. Because he has lived in the North for 20yrs he found it difficult to move because of things he had accumulated there.

Northerners are not safe in the North let alone an Igbo man with business establishments

tunnytox: You're irredeemable! change your name to JUSTF00L there is no need claiming what you're not, i'm sure you don't even read the news before you start to pass judgement on this man. For people like you who believes you're wise while others are f00ls when your so called wisdom fails you you'll learn this life doesn't just go straight. Stupeed justf00l!

Do you have anything meaningful to say apart from trying miserably bad to read meaning into my ID?

[quote author=trae_z]I'm with tunnytox on this one. Justwise as an aside you need to watch your mouth and learn how to be the bigger man. It pays to be civil always and there's no first prize for who throws the most insults. Besides u're a mod! Start acting like a Statesman instead of one always ready to abuse and argue tout.[/quote][/b]

Oh please! stick that where sun never shines, Mod my backside, if people can't take insult the don't through one at me.

tunnytox: What a lame reply! provide logical steps of how you think the man should have moved to the east otherwise shut the fcck up because you're simply not making any sense.

Listen to yourself, silly cow, how many of his family need to die before he moved out? To empty skulls like you his properties are more important that the lives of his family members. Will he bring any of them back now?

tunnytox: m

Look dude you're not smart at all, sometimes you have to realise that not everyone have time like you to be dragging issues. It is not only stupeed but daft for anyone to be blaming this man, you do not know the whole story of this man, his personal circumstances but you believe you can sit down somewhere in the comfort if your own room to judge him, how daft could that be?
Tell me had the whole of ibo community now left Bauchi?
Why is he the only one who suffer this fate? And if the whole ibo community left Bauchi can the SE contain them?
Sometimes I wonder why you choose the name justwise because many if your statement usually proof otherwise.
I'm starting work now but be sure ill give you a good reply to your normal lame posts whenever I'm available.

Calling you an animal will be an insult to animals because some reason better than you do.

@ member_126910

I don't think its right for anybody here to tell you to marry him or not but the question is....is this the type of man you want? Are you happy to put up with his behavior if you got married?

incras52: Mum and Dad still in Nigeria..a im 26 ..
Is that part of the conditions?
Anyway thanks for ur quick response...

If you are under age and he is the only break-winner in the family then you will stand a chance, but as an adult, educated to masters level, it will be difficult for you to argue your case for dependency.

incras52: While still trying to understand the Uk rules,i got confused a bit...Will be glad if anybody could clear me out.

My elder brother presently holds a british passport,so i was wondering is there any ukba visa type that covers me as his younger brother to obtain a 5year extention visa ?Im presently having my masters degree in the UK.

As regards to the family dependency visa conditions ,i suppose that is possible or maybe i am missing out something...If anyone has a clearer understanding of this stuff ,will be glad to hear your opinion.

Are you below the age of 16? Your mum and daddy still in Nigeria?

@ emmyaydot

You are banned from Travel Section, your dubious activities/advice is not needed here. Even if you get another ID and come back it will be banned as well.

tunnytox: I don talk my own mr too know, when one time to die comes you can run till kingdom come but you can't hide.

Weak and lazy argument

kelvincoll:

Evil men indeed.. yet being celebrated when em enter naija. Hightime people source of income be monitored closely

Exactly!! they will make hard working Nigerians look weak when they come boasting about how well they are doing in the UK.

@ johnstar

Animals like you should not quote me with your tribal comment. I hate people who can not see beyond tribe.

samally: I did not have company....But am working with Mika** company as technician 2....assistance service supervisor..and I did have account with Oceanic bank but have not operate it for a while now...and I don't keep money in the bank because I have guys sold me some used items from germany....but the guys are dubious and am looking for plan B since the company is not doing fine now....that is why I want to go fully in Biz...

Thanks .....

Open an account, get your salary paid directly into your bank account, you can't get any sort of visa with cash-in-hands financial situation because there is no way you can explain that to the embassy. If you want to go into business full time then register one, buy things and pay with your business invoice/letter head/business account etc.

At the moment your chances of you getting a visa is close to zero even as you have the money.

Evil looking animal.

Not hash enough sentence, life without parole would have been better.

Wicked soul!!

tunnytox: Many of the posters blaming the man are kids, they may still be getting money from their parents.
Even if he relocate to his village that does not immune him to kidnapping, armed robbery, poisoning etc abi dem no dey kidnap ibo people from in alaigbo? What will be will be no one know better than God.

Will they be able relocate now from the grave?

vanminister: living in ukraine as an african is equivalent to an american soldier/citizen walking in downtown Helmand province in Afghanistan without support

back up or a canister containing nuclear weapon.

Anywhere else is better than nigeria you think, wait till you get to Ukraine or Russia!

If not for the physical and spiritual bodyguards of Pastor Sunday Adelaja of God's Embassy church, one of the fastest growing church in Europe,

he would have been finished!

A plane ticket to ukraine or russia to study one lying course or the other is a ticket to the grave.

Even the mighty nigeria ambassador in ukraine will dare not venture out alone, anytime of the day!

You think that is life and living? Many africans have been sent to an early grave because of the bond girls, or should i say blonde girls of ukraine.

They boys of ukraine see it as a national insult for a monkey, so called to hold hands with their slavic citizen. Their expression says it all!

They will attack and UnCloth you. The police will say, cheers, we could have done it ourselves but as you can see we are on duty!

So if you are going there to look for fun, someone who was a victim from beyond told me to warn you with this letter!

But because some of you lots have cotton wool in your ears, all i would say right now is bye-bye au revoir safe journey!

That is a chilling line.

samally: Oga justwise.....with my cash on hand...I can still boost of €30000, my problem is that;
1. I read a post now from german embassy section and you said the transaction must up to six months
2. And the account must be in my name..please is there anyhow I can go about doing that because is the dividend by to me by my company that I want to use....Not that I did not have money for business...
Thanks

You have a perfect opportunity to build your paper work for visa application, don't rush into applying for visa without good preparation, don't be in a hurry to leave Nigeria and waste that money.

You have between now and next yr to build genuine paper work then apply.

Do you work? Own a business? Do you have bank accounts(savings and current)?
