I am frustrated and confused as everything I submitteed are genuine.
Please advice me as I don't know whether to appeal or re-apply because I was told that re-applying takes a long process and that I would need a Lawyer? While am scared that if i re-apply I might not be given again as i would be submitting the same documents as thats all I have and not forgetting the fact that I have lost money twice already without obtaining the visa.
what exactly your reason for visiting?

Loosing money twice appears that you are desperate.

Most Importantly you need to clear your name from this forgery.

If you very sure, get a lawyer because UK share data with other EU and if they put you down as criminal; you know all over EU.

I think nigeria should introduce shango and amadioha oath taking among public holders,from politicians down to contractors,people are more scared of those primitive justice than this limbo age we are caught in,in the name of democracy and oyinbos and arabs religion.
Good words but you spoit it by WORD primitive.

Dont always allow outside to define you. And never trust outside.

We should look in-wards and modify our system to suit our needs.

British in the 40s outlaw 'Ogogoro' since it locally produced and instead they started selling us their 'dry-gin'.

Some of us may remember the days Tai Solarin who challenged the Colonial Authority to arrest him for openly displaying ogogoro or apetesi. Foreign alcohol was the legal drink of those days. Even religious preacher had their own stock in their closets, after service of course! If I remember my Things fall Apart well, Okonkwo grabbed his horn and decided to attend service when he heard that alcohol was served during communion. The pride was about which country the drink was made and how “reputable”.

I was in Lagos/Abuja in March and it was just as hot so what's your point?
Those 'slave africans' in US can complain; they were chained and forced to US

But nobody forced any Nigerian to go US. You all went on your own.

So dont complain and accept whatever but you can also come back home

If abuja/lagos is equally hot, well that your land, you got to live with it or plant more trees to provide shades etc.

I am ITIL certified.

I could offer some 'free' training on this when next in Nigeria.

But it is better if you already working in IT service delivery and service support or you an IT Manager.

Free = You will need your company to provide the training room, print training material etc.

Coscharis is the official dealer.

Check them in VI or Kirikiri road otherwise go to normal dealers but be sure you have all security codes of the car.

If those people did not create, will you be there now? NO.

Matured,

Thats why I said in some other thread, that we don't identify with Nigeria.

We may be Nigerians, living in naija but deep inside, we don't identify with that country anymore.

It is also same reason why BANK PHB would give LOANS for Nigerians to have UK EDUCATION, so what about NIGERIAN EDUCATION?

The burden of cancer in Nigeria is appreciable. According to the World Health Organisation, there are an estimated 100,000 new cancer cases in the country each year although observers believe the figure could become as high as 500,000 new cases annually by 2010. It is feared that by 2020, cancer incidence for Nigerian males and females may rise to 90.7/100,000 and 100.9/100,000 respectively. It is also anticipated that by 2020, death rates from cancer in Nigerian males and females may reach 72.7/100,000 and 76/100,000 respectively.

[quote author=Method-Man link=topic=143314.msg2388607#msg2388607 date=1213798365]All the funds sent back don't seem to have any positive effects of the average populace

There need to be clear cut plans on what to do with the monies and it shld be evident!

I wonder where all the money goes to, Maybe via a pipe leading to OBJ@OTTA, or via IBORI's throat

or maybe to fund Aondoaka's corruption ridden mouth or Soludo's greedy fingers.[/quote]well said.
In the case of swiss transfer back to Nigeria. They specifically demand, they want to see plan how the money to be spent.
The Swiss Govt got WorldBank involved yet $600mil disappearred without any trace.

The governments of Nigeria and Switzerland signed an agreement on September 1 last year under which the World Bank was to verify the use of the Abacha funds.

In a statement from the Nigerian capital, Abuja, the World Bank said that of 51 projects reviewed, 23 were completed, 26 were at various stages of completion and two had been stopped.
-->

Missbach added that many mistakes could have been avoided if Nigerian civil society had been involved from the outset.

The World Bank report notes that the repatriated Abacha funds were spent in five sectors: power, roads, health, education and water.


Nigerians also need to organise themselves and follow through to ensure we see benefit of our recovered stolen money.

Last week, one of the Nigerian Newspapers had it that all Abacha's loot has been returned. Maybe you can check it up for more updates. . . .
Only Abacha money in Switzerland returned. Thats about $600mil.

The Big chunk $1.3bill is still in UK.

UK govt should return our money asap. Many of us keep good records.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1210350.stm

The British financial authorities have reprimanded fifteen City of London banks for their handling of accounts linked to associates of the former Nigerian military leader Sani Abacha.

Banking regulators said the accounts were used for transactions of more than one billion dollars between 1996 and the year 2000
.
Like the priest who tells his congregation "do as I say but not as I do", 23 banks in London are keeping $1.3 billion (repeat, $1.3 billion) of General Abacha's stolen money despite the many sermons of probity and accountability that Western governments preach to Africa. Appeals by Obasanjo's government to get the finds repatriated to Nigeria have fallen on deaf British ears, including those of the Tony Blair government.

Thats more important than some paltry sum from ex-gov.

Good Idea but we need to see 'implementation plan' otherwise it will fail like everything else.

Questions:

1. how many street traders?

2. what do they trade?

3. what is age, sex group?

4. why do Lagosian buy from the street?

5. what education level. etc


We need to research on the issue and then come out with good plans NOT just ban this, stop that.
