Oga OP you story is just disjointed. If you didn't enter GIG, you didn't enter GIG. Ecobus is Ecobus, GIG is GIG. If they were the same, they'd have same name. Have you thought just maybe you were diverted by that person to get a little kickback from the Ecobus company? Sorry about your experience, but next time try to follow through with the known transport till the end, atleast then you'd have concrete case, because going by facts only, you don't have even a GIG ticket for that trip.

Just to get this straight, I pay for health insurance, biometrics, visa application and then I still have to pay for an appointment?? Please guys I need clarification for this.

dilodavid:
I don't think so. One has to pay a minimum of 37k to be able to book appointment in Lagos, Ikeja centre. Check your PM bro/sis.

Pay as in a legal booking fee or naija fee. Because I need a date in next week preferably, but I can't submit my application until 26th. I want to be sure where, if it'd be better to just apply in Abuja instead of Lagos.

Has anyone been able to secure dates for biometrics in late November or First week of December Lagos or Abuja?

Has anyone been able to pay and get a date for biometrics submission in Nov or early Dec??

Guys my passport expires in late 2021 but my course official end date in January 2022, though its mid 2021really. Will the passport date be an issue during consideration for visa?
@justwise @LaaJiblik @joey1

@justwise @LaaJiblik @joey1 what's the duration between submitting the T4 application and when you're invited for submission of documents and biometrics?

Hello house! What is the maximum amount of pounds one can send from Nigeria to UK through pounds DOM account? I intend sending £10200

Justwise

I've transferred 12000pounds to a Nigerian dom account from the UK before and it came fine without any troubles. So I don't think you should have any issues up to that amount.

This OP is such a disgrace. When you said business with Nigerian roots I thought you actually understood what you were saying. So Pepsi and Itel have Nigerian roots. Post nonsense like this again and senior men, will collect that phone from you.

How did you conclude on the currency to be used for payment?

Besides what price do you think his major competitors are selling their refined oil?

Don't forget that for him to survive and excel as a global player in the industry, he must remain competitive.

Modified:



Let us break this down:

Dangote will not sell to Nigeria in Dollars unlike if we were importing refined fuel. That is KEY. Why?

It is because Nigeria will benefit greatly from eliminating a huge daily demand for USD to import fuel. This fall in demand has a direct effect on the exchange rate which will fall as a result of a fall in demand for $. Additionally Dangote will be forced to repatriate some of his USD income from exports, which will also boost our foreign reserves. More USD in the reserves means more USD available to satisfy our daily forex bill and avoid price spikes because the CBN will be better positioned to intervene accordingly.

Now why can't Dangote just sell to us at a reduced price? It is also simple.

For Dangote to survive in the global oil industry, it means he must then be able to compete favorably with other international refineries. That would be impossible if he is subsidizing prices for specific countries, because the costs of input (crude) and processing (refining) are the same or similar to his other competitors across the world. He must therefore sell at global prices, Nigeria not excluded (do not forget he is exporting the excess refined fuel to other countries) so as to remain profitable to his investors and keep him from shutting down after a few months of operation.

Yes we are an oil producing nation, but we are not 'dashing' the crude to Dangote to process for us. He is buying it from us at global prices too, and adding value (refining) at a cost he must recover and make some profit on.

This is rather simplified but hopefully it puts things in clearer perspective.

How can Dangote be selling petroleum products to the local market at the same price as importers, when he is not running a local operation?? You're not shipping it out to refine, you're buying at a local rate and refining locally, what then should be the excuse for a hike in prices of the end products? Whatever amount he chooses to sell to neighbouring countries is his business, but to the Nigerian market, if Dangote refinery does not drop the price of petroleum products by atleast ₦25-₦50 then the gains are only superficial.

That will not work, Transferwise is money transfer agent and not a bank. Transfer the money to a bank

Thank you very much

justwise:
No you can't, TransferWise is not a bank

But it proves my funds, UKVI can verify it from TransferWise and it is a regulated financial institution.

Hello everyone.
@justwise please is it possible to use my TransferWise account statement for my living expenses proof? I'm starting an MSc in January 2020. Paid the fees in full, but I currently have the living expenses in my GBP transferwise account. Transferwise is regulated by the government and has a backing from a registered bank, so would that be a problem?

@justwise please I need a little advice on this. I just got admission to LondonMet. My program starts Jan ending and I'm currently waiting for my CAS to start the application for T4 Visa. I'd like to know if I can use my TransferWise account statements for proof of living expenses, since it is a regulated financial institution in the UK and they can easily verify the statements on the account.

Alheri is a Dangote owned company hence the obfuscation.

Spot on.

A lot of jargons being used to mask the truth and facts of the case. Whoever wrote this article should go back to school.

The silicon bag in her body is more than a trailer load of cement ooo

Y'all will just be talking crap in a frail attempt to sound smart. Look at this person head to toe and tell me is she looks like she's got silicone. Like can't you see the proportionality of her bum and boobs to her body generally? Infact I think the silicone might be inside your head.

OGHENAOGIE:
why didn't Genevieve or Steph adopt the book get the rights and do a movie on it... we allow outsiders pick our stories and wail on how they should tell it...

Oga Read my comment carefully. Your fight isn't with me.

Well there's Genevieve and Stephanie Okereke. They're two world class actresses who've starred in movies at that level and I believe could have done justice to the movie, being Ibo. But then, lupita BOUGHT the rights. You can't tell her what to do with her money.

I won't be surprised if its University of Ilorin he has been applying to. Honestly I don't understand how that university does its course swapping. Tell him to apply to Uniben, if he doesn't get into Mechanical Engineering, atleast he'll be given something very close.

It's so shameful the poor reading and comprehension skills a lot of Nigerians have, despite a steady access to information. The article clearly states that the Linux Models are $42 less, still people are taking it as being sold for $42. You all should be ashamed of yourselves and the kind of education you've given yourselves. School na scam, school na scam, now see yourselves
You are all out there disgracing yourselves. What a pity.

Defence Service Medal (DSM) Defence Service Medal (Nigeria)
General Service Medal (GSM) General Service Medal (Nigeria)
Global Seal of Integrity (GSOI)
Gran Collar De La Orden De La Independencia translated as Grand Collar of the Order of the Independence was conferred on Buhari by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea at the Presidential Palace on 14 March 2016
Grand Commander of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (GCFR) Order of the Federal Republic (military) - Nigeria -
Loyal Service and Good Conduct Medal (LSGCM) Loyal Service and Good Conduct Medal (Nigeria)
National Service Medal (NSM) National Service Medal (Nigeria)

A little research would have saved you this embarrassment OP.

I don't like meddling in politics but I must say, you're a very unintelligent person. There's a difference between honors and certification/certificate. While honors may be conferred based on meritorious service you actually have to pass an exam to get certified which according to El Rufai Buhari has not been able to achieve.
