If that's true, then maybe you can offer the police maybe 10,000 naira instead of the 50,000 she's demanding?

@Seun,

As a man of INTEGRITY are you suggesting that he should BRIBE the Police ?

I think he has a solid criminal case that should not involve bribing the police, if you give them once they will always come back for more.

All Bank statements do get verified by the Risk Assessment Unit. The only way for an "Oluwole" bank statement to get confirmed as authentic by the BHC is if the Bank manager or Bank Official who verifies the bank statement corroborates with the person who made the visa application (i.e an insiders job). Once the bank confirms the statement as being authentic the RAU of the BHC rarely overturns the confirmation.

@ernal,
When you submit a company bank  account for the purpose of proving financial ability to maintain yourself throughout the duration of your UK visit you have to also prove that you have access to the funds and that you have the mandate to use it for the purpose of travelling. You should be able to show a resolution of the company where it was agreed that you could use xxxx amount for the purpose of travelling and that you are also a signatory to the account too.

Also, ECO's are now directed to refuse visa applications based on all 5 reasons of Section 41 of the Immigration Rules, so it would not be only your company bank account that would have been a problem but also the fact that they were not satsified that that you would be genuine visitor based on the whole of Section 41

[b]Section 41. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom as a visitor are that he:

(i) is genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for a limited period as stated by him, not exceeding 6 months; and

(ii) intends to leave the United Kingdom at the end of the period of the visit as stated by him; and

(iii) does not intend to take employment in the United Kingdom; and

(iv) does not intend to produce goods or provide services within the United Kingdom, including the selling of goods or services direct to members of the public; and

(v) does not intend to study at a maintained school; and

(vi) will maintain and accommodate himself and any dependants adequately out of resources available to him without recourse to public funds or taking employment; or will, with any dependants, be maintained and accommodated adequately by relatives or friends; and

(vii) can meet the cost of the return or onward journey.; and

(viii) is not a child under the age of 18.[/b]

How are u sure they confirm the statement at all, almost 90% goes to embassy with oluwale info and they still give most of them visa. i think it depends on who is threating your case. On his or her happy day he or she can give any passport that comes across hi table but on a bad day just count yourself unfortunate.

An ECO does not have the sole right to issue a Visa they are all quality-checked by the ECM before a Visa vignette is endorsed into any passport. It is not a lottery whose outcome depends on the "feel-good factor" of the officer in charge, the reasons for refusal are always given so if you are aggrieved with a decision you are free to seek for an initial reconsideration or appeal. 50% of Appeals do get overturned by the Appeal Judge at the AIT.

First, put down your deposit.

Second, do you want a "Face -me-I -Face you" kind of hostel or the one that looks like a Brothel where every customer has their own little room ?

Third, what is the size of your plot ?

Are you still @ Leeds ?

[quote author=Riba_man link=topic=45329.msg1100736#msg1100736 date=1178644243]Hi Guys, I am new to this forum, must say that the man -SEUN- is/has done a fantastic job here. I have a question regarding the impending FIRST BANK offer; how do I get to lay my hands on the form that would allow me to buy the shares @ 31 naira since I already own a few of FIRST BANK SHARES? Many thanks, offered in anticipation, to all who help to enlighten me[/quote]Right Issues forms are normally posted to all existing share holders to their registered address (normally with a quota on how many shares you can purchase )

Yes. On arrival your GBR passport will be stamped with a 60 days visit visa. You will still need to show the immigration officer a proof of where you will be staying.

Just pay the dividend warrant into your Current a/c. For some banks you may need to allow for some days for it to be cleared, others may treat it as cash equivalent and allow you to withdraw the cash value after depositing the DW.

why do you think First Inland Bank what about other banks, I also have a feeling foreign investors will be coming in soon but i want to invest just before they come. wish i was a psychic 

Does anyone know the people interested in jos brewery.

Tmoni, I would slipt half or thereabouts from dangote preferably before it hits N37-p.s im a learner

Amongst the Banks stocks that are trading under N10 it has the soundest fundamentals (balance sheet/management/future earnings per share); and may most likely hit the N10 barrier soon (using the Japanese candlestick comparative chart analysis to plot the coefficients of First Inland Bank,Wema Bank,Skye Bank and Fidelity Bank.)

With the trendy invasion of foreign banks investing in Nigerian partners First Inland Bank looks ripe as a bride for foreign partnership or injection of foreign investment and foreign equity ownership. Based on speculative investment I would buy and hold First Inland Bank now at its present price and wait and see what happens before the year ending

You have to apply to the particular EU country that is a member of the Shengen Agreement for their visa. The 15 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. All these countries except Norway and Iceland are European Union members.

I didnt see any green spot

The first thing a classy batchelor needs in his pad is JESUS, when you have JESUS all OTHER THINGS will follow.A man's life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses. What happens if a fire or eathquake/tsunami consumes your classy material possessions ?

How about this ?

@megapro,

I have sent you 2 emails with a request concerning the 4 duplex plan,I have'nt heard from you yet.

I sent all my original Share certificates and signed CSCS forms by registered post to my brokers Afrinvest Ltd since March for deposition/registration with CSCS uptil now they have stated that it has not been received. is there a psossibility that the parcel could be hijacked by NIPOST staff and my shares illegally transfered ? What can I do to block the illegal sale of my shares (as I had enclosed signed CSCS forms too) ?

Is it just me or does the Pic of the Obong make him look like a dwarf.
Please upload a better pic.
Thanks

I think its just you mate.It's better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are a fool than to open it and remove any lingering doubt.

Oya, where are the pics?

Quite compelling information. In 2004 I went for a meeting at Croydon Hotel and when I went into the men's loo guess what I saw ? There was a section of the wall that was covered with a newspaper and the story on that 20 year old newspaper was about the botched kidnap attempt of Umaru Dikko-I had a thorough read. This story should be safely kept as part of our political history.

How are you, how's your end?

I'm fine. I thought you were based in Kent ?

My user name is derived from the popular song by "Yellow Man" the Regae artiste.

It was the first user name I used in online chat forums since 2000-first with the erstwhile Nigeria Guardian Chat Forum, and Cybereagles.com/co.uk . I primarily used it to denote my location in Cyberspace and my upcoming sports short in Calabar will using the name as a brand.

Hello everybody here , hugs all the babes on this thread

Hi busy girl, not sleeping yet ?

@tega78,

No problem, you didnt make yourself clear when you made the remark.

I may have to come and flat share with you for a short term duration, I don't mind the couch for starters !!

By the way, there is a Nigerian Carnival taking place on 9th June 2007 at Burgess Park offf Old Kent Road-would you be interested ? You can check the details here  http://www.nigeriancarnival.com/home.htm  and we could meet up

[

I have my doubts whether or not this is true.Firstly, correct me if I am wrong but the 20 hour rule only applies during term time so during holidays there is no limit

According to section 57 of the immigration rules a student should be able to meet the costs of his course and accommodation and the maintenance of himself and anydependants without taking employment or engaging in business or having recourse to public funds.

Hence, students are allowed to work not more than 20 hours because it is assumed that they /their sponsor had fulfilled the requirement that they would be able to meet the cost of their course without working. Where a student works for more than 20 hours it would be assumed that he did so to meet the cost of the course and is a breach of immigration rules.

Also the information provided by your NI will not say how many hours one has worked. It will only say how much tax and nat. insurance has been paid

That would qualify as one of the understatements of the year. Never underestimate HM Revenue and Customs. If you have ever prepared Payroll returns for a company you would see a long self-check calculator in the Tax Returns form that assess how much Tax and NI is due,conversely this also calculates the average hours worked. It is very very simple, and is the bread and butter of any Admin Officer working for them.

I agree that a large amount of tax would suggest one is working more than the stipulated 20 hours

That answers the question itself.

I just don't think there is sufficient manpower for the Homeoffice to start checking all students work status. I think they will only pursue an individual student if that student gives them cause to suspect which has always been the case.

Apart from the NHS Department the Home Office (now Department for Security) is the largest employer within the civil service and the IND (now Border and Immigration Agency) still has lots of vacancies within the Managed Migration Directorate that deal with in-country extensions for further leave to remain (FLR)-lack of staff is not a problem for them. Each application for FLR is allocated to a Case Worker (an Executive Officer) who goes through the application based on a check-list of boxes that need to be ticked. It is part of the vetting process to verify if that student had not breached his immigration conditions and he will cross check with the Inland Revenue (now Customs and Revenue) using the NI number.Before the Case Officer goes ahead to issue the FLR he has to get clearance from his Line Manager (the Higher Executive Officer) who will go over the application again.

If the Home Office staff can check from each students Universities if the students are continuing students or meeting minimum attendance requirements then that same staff can also check with the Inland Revenue concerning the students working hours status using his NI.Its just a phone call away-it doesn't cost them anything to make that call.

The point I would like to make here is that it is not compulsory for students to obtain NI numbers, it is obtained only if the student wanted to work. Hence, it is possible to put N/A on the NI column if i does not apply to them. Secondly, the Home Office is more interested in fishing out overstayers,failed asylum seekers and illegal workers than in fishing out legitimate students who happended to have over-worked. so I don't think that the introduction of the NI section in the new form was a deliberate intention, afterall the student is still paying his taxes to the government while the illegal workers don't.

Count me in (I have sent you an email)
