Congrats. But biko how did you get to change your baira to pounds? Form A or black market?

Greetings to the house, just felt I should share my experience at the border entry.

Officer: hello
Me: hi
Officer: what is your purpose here?
Me: I came to meet my wife
Officer: so you are on dependent visa?
Me: yes
Officer: what is your wife doing here?
Me: she is a student of Anglia Ruskin University
Officer: what is she studying?
Me: MBA
Officer: what kind of MBA and what is her specialization
Me: well there are many courses for options and it include innovation, strategy, leadership, entrepreneurship and so on... (imagine I don't know this, how unsettling the question was)
Officer: what do you do in Nigeria?
Me: I work for a consulting firm (I mentioned the name of my company and I think he was impressed)
Officer: what will you be doing here?
Me: I will join another consulting firm here (at this point, I was just wondering where this is leading to, though I was pretty confident because I was kind of prepared)
Officer: how long is your wife's study?
Me: 18 months
Officer: so after 18 months what will you guys be doing?
Me: we will be going back to Nigeria (for my mind, I say this guy, go back abi , okay ooo)
Officer: where is the letter you were given from UKVI?
Me: (this got me a bit shaking because I cannot remember where the letter was, I know I packed it but cannot remember where it was. I searched my bag and my laptop bag, only for it to dawn on me that the letter was in the bag I checked in, I say mogbe, I begin to pray in my mind that this will not lead to anything because its already a lot of questions)
Now the officer waited and looked at me, he noticed I could not bring the letter out.
Me: so i told him the letter is in my bag that I checked in
Officer: do you have any money with you?
Me: (I have prepared for this, so I was very confident, so by the time I brought out a bundle of 20 pounds notes, that was the end of the whole question)
Officer: alright, welcome to UK.

He stamped my passport and gave it back to me. Then I started to breathe normally again.

The lesson here is to be prepared and make sure you have money with you. I think the cash in pounds saved me from further questions and issues. I have heard they can depot if you do not have any cash with you.

Good luck to you all...
Cheers.
