I predict a draw for this match

Brother marries sister
By Chioma Igbokwe
Saturday, February 20, 2010

It could be described as a taboo for siblings to marry one another, but Anthonia and Victor in desperate bid to secure UK visa decided to be known and addressed as husband and wife. On the fateful day, January 28, 2008, Anthonia dressed in a flowing white gown, marched to the Ojo marriage registry with Victor to be joined as husband and wife. This was done in a bid to convince the British High Commission to grant them a visiting visa since they can never meet the criteria needed to secure such visa.

With the aid of a naval officer, (Kayode Olaniyan) they were able to secure forged documents, which portrayed them as highly placed individuals in Nigeria. The expectation was that the forged document would guarantee them a visiting visa, and they applied to spend two weeks in UK.

To further convince the BHC, they went along with their wedding photograph, especially where they were cementing their ‘marriage’ with a kiss. Bubble however bust on February 16 when the British High Commission that was not aware the ‘couple’ is related by blood discovered that the bank statement presented was slightly altered. They alerted the police at the Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi who in turn dispatched an officer to stand by for any possible arrest.

Unknown to them that their game was up, the BHC invited the ‘couple’ for a final interview, where they would be issued a visa. They were careful to ensure that they appeared in uniformed attire so that the difference would not be spotted. Passersby commended their choice of spouse as they looked alike. In the visa section, holding each other closely they stepped into the interview room. The man meant to interview them enquired if they had a swell time on Sunday being Valentine. They were still waiting for their Visa to be issued when the police arrested them for forgery. They were arrested alongside the visa racketeer, Kayode Olaniyan who is alleged to have forged the entire document used for the act.

The PRO SFU, CSP Akan, explained that when Victor discovered that the game was up, he shouted that the man (Kayode) who gave them the document was waiting outside to collect the balance as soon as they collect their approved visa. Unknown to Kayode, the game was up; he was arrested where he was waiting for the balance as soon as the deal clicks. In the course of interrogation, ready to vomit all the illegal things, they have done, Victor confessed that Anthonia was not his wife but his blood sister.

Victor told Saturday Sun that he was tired of struggling to survive in Nigeria that was why he quickly grabbed the opportunity when Kayode promised to assist them to travel out. “He gave us instances of people who he had travelled as ‘couple’. He requested that we should pay N900,000 for the deal but we ended up paying N180,000 with the promise to pay up as soon as the visa is granted.

“He promised that it was easier for couple to be granted visa so we quickly bought the idea to pose as couple. Part of the criteria was to get married, he arranged and we paid at the Ojo marriage registry. He also got some document which shows that I am a marine engineer, working in a company where I am paid more N300,000 monthly. I am an OND student of Lagos State Polytechnic where I am studying Banking and Finance.

I am not a marine engineer and do not have an account in WEMA Bank. I have never attended Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island. My real names are Ayeye Victor Adejobi. My younger sister who posed as my wife is Antonia Ayeye. Nebelisa is not my father’s name at all. Kayode gave us the surname ‘Nebelisa’ and instructed that we should obtain the passport. He took us to Ado Ekiti where we obtained the passport in the name of ‘Nebelisa’.”

When asked how he felt, kissing his sister, Victor said: “ It was disgusting but then I had no choice. I felt very bad knowing that it is an abomination, but because we wanted results, we had to comply. Take a look at the picture it will show that I was not comfortable with what I was doing.” Anthonia saw herself as an actress that was why she was very comfortable when it was time to kiss the bride.

On why she decided to embark on such mission, Anthonia explained that she did it to better her life and would not hesitate do whatever it took to get to the promised land. “I am a stylist and my office is located at Onobotubon Street, off Asho Street, Benin. Victor is my blood brother from the same father and mother. We were introduced to Kayode by a family friend who claimed that he has assisted a lot of people to secure UK visa.”

She explained that: “one of the ways to perfect the plan was to marry my brother, Victor. I saw that as a mere act, since I know that I am not married to my brother in real life. As agreed he took us to the marriage registry at Ojo, Lagos, to get married. At the end we were issued a marriage certificate. To perfect the business, he said we are to pay N900,000, but we managed to drop N180,000 as part payment. I am single and still searching ”

Their rip-off games man, Olaniyan, was not satisfied with his pay in the Navy and he chose to go into visa racketeering to add to his monthly salary. With his experience in the Navy, he was able to reproduce documents used to facilitate his clients’ visa requests, which depict the applicants as having military background.

Kayode who lives at No. 42 Olajumoke Street, Ikotun, Lagos, claimed that he joined the Nigerian Navy in 2005, and still works in the Navy. He explained that he knew his clients “through a family friend of mine, Tunde who told me that they were desperate to travel out of the country. I was the one who arranged for the forged marine documents and marine certificate of competency.

I brought the sample and it was reproduced just like the original document. I then hired the services of a good forger, Isaac, who brought the bank statement, sales receipt and the other documents that were presented. I asked them to pay, N900,000 to process the document which they agreed to but I only collected N180,000 based on the agreement that I would receive the balance at the end of the business. I would have collected the remaining sum today if the visa was issued.”

To the amazement of the British High Commission, Victor presented a document showing that he is working at the Durba Shipping (DNL). He also furnished the Commission with an internal memo approving 30 days annual leave, payment slip indicating a monthly salary of N310,000, letter of employment showing that he was employed as 2nd Engineer with effect from May 12, 2003 and a letter of introduction from the company. Victor further gave the Commission a certificate of Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island Lagos.

Anthonia, the hair stylist on her part appeared before the interview panel claiming that she is CEO/Chairman of the Emmanuel Sidah Ventures. She presented an introduction letter of herself as the owner of the company. Also in her custody was a document from the Corporate Affairs Commission showing when the business was registered. This document was a certificate to authenticate the registration of the business.

How Market!!!
Seriously when i saw the scum backline i knew it was a loss for the tarados against an ambitious everton side!
Gary and Evans were 'outstanding'

debosky:
Well said guys - the crucial question hasn't been answered by tubabie as yet. . .is it engineering PM or 'other' PM?

Personally with my own experience so far, the best PM experience for an engineer will be working for an EPC company working on a major project, or for one of the oil and gas majors working on a major project as well. Generally you'll need to learn the project processes/work-flows of the industry you're in, or understand the general work flows within that industry to best determine what 'certifications' (internal or external) and the like you need.

In my own experience, I'd likely not do any PM certifications but focus on practical engineering project experience which can then be supplemented by PM certification much later - frankly experience and track record of delivery is far more valued in the engineering sector that PM qualifications.

However, if one is widening his/her scope to the wider PM community, the willingness to go through the certification hassle might be a good weapon to have in one's arsenal.

@ kvolander

Any HSE specific training will be an advantage - IOSH, IEMA and the other professional bodies will be a good starting point.

How did the assessments/interviews go? I've had some experience in this regard so maybe I could give a few tips.

Thanks debosky for those links, I'll check them out right away.

The outcome wasn't positive on their so-called occasion, you know you really can't tell why you've not been taken but I'm using that as a stepping stone though. As I speak, two of the companies I mentioned have not even given me feedback after several requests for one.
However, I'll greatly appreciate any tips from you to help me in crossing over.

Thanks a great deal.

Kenny_G:
I wont waste my money on any more certifications but would concentrate on getting a job at all cost, being a graduate with no work experience whatsoever, any more certification wont help your job search as such except you are planning on changing field

Thanks Kenny_G,

Your point has been the reason behind my delay of going for any certification. I've always believed that no amount of certification can replace work experience.
I'm not thinking of changing field at all. It's engineering for life and I believe I'm so close to clinching one by God's grace.

@poster,

forget that club thing and neither would I say you should go to church. Just keep praying about it.

For me, I prefer to go for someone I've known for quite a while say like 5years or more. When I'm ready to get married, I'm looking to go for someone I've dated before or someone I've been so fond of before.
It's just a rule of 'the devil you know is better than the angel you don't'.

Hope this helps.

Singing is my talent but I can't be singing secular songs for money. These are the kind of musics in vogue and which appears to be lucrative too.
I want to make it on the corporate ends first then support myself in spreading the gospel through my singing.

Hi guys, just read through this thread and will really be pleased to share my experience.

I graduated in chemical engrg. about 4 - 5 years ago, finished my service in august 2007 from Kebbi state as a teaching assistant in one of the best poly there. I thereafter dashed off to the UK to study MSc in petr. engrg. where I finished a year later.
I was refused further stay to remain in the UK which compelled me to relocate to naija in dec. 2008. I converted this UK disappointment energy into a determination energy utilizing a proactive process with prayer as a catalyst.
After nine months of futile applications in naija (not even an acknowledge from the hundreds of companies i applied to), I returned to the UK thanks to the almighty God who intervened when I applied for the UK permit from naija.
Ever since I came back to the UK,I had 2 interviews (one oil servicing and EPC) and one assessment centre (Multinational Oil Coy) but none was totally converted to an offer.Although, I'm still applying but I believe I should upgrade myself with some certifications while waiting for the job to come. I'm not only looking on the oil companies though but also any Energy coys and Process coys. Project management or IT are also options for me but very low on my priority list.

From the experience you guys have had; based on my background as explained above, could you advise me on the BEST CERTIFICATION to add to my current pool of skills that would enhance my chances a clinching a job on time?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

What do you all think about that?

Just some simple steps to perfect dating and relationship
