How long is the service? A year or 6 months?

Ileke-IdI:
WTF?!!

They need to scrap that nonsense. So I'll have to do NYSC then

LOL me and you both o.

I'm kinda iffy about putting my details on a Nigerian website.

werepeLeri: LOL - u r still sweet sixteen.

But I have friends who came from the UK to do NYSC even above 30. I think the 30 age is for Nigerian Uni graduates - not for those coming from abroad.

You wouldnt have to worry if you dont intend taking up any job in Nigeria in the future, or even seek public office - but if you want to - u gat to do it.

Tiana155: @bluebarz, it's funny how you had fun in awgu camp, i could tell from your words, you really went prepared, although we have some corpers here who are having fun as you had. But not me. @nat, i'm in female hostel E, i didnot enjoy the mountaineering i had a sprained ankle and my trouser tore straight up embarassing, I agree with you the sanitary facilities is very very poor, The security also very poor. BUT THE VIEW I LOVE IT! The hills i mean.

bluebarz: @nat u are really a batch C corper like me. I can't forget that Capt Ayodele watever is in the middle ogunmakinwa God bless u sir. Talkless of my main man RSM (he calls me bier bier cos I had long goatie back den) and when he was pissed of he'll tell us " you will suffer like lucifer". Remember the great khali too? Dat huge soldier. I stayed in hostel M. While hostel K was always the hostel dat suffered in the hands of RSM. Maybe u can remember one guy hu won a DVD on MTN night then also won a PHONE during the dance competition on campfire nyt hosted by airtel (that guy is me). Olowokere was a real father, esp the way he handled those guys who stole a blackberry in camp. Camp was fun for me cos I came prepared for irregularities. Abi was it the mami mkt and alomo tins or the short putting behind hostel K? It was generally fun for me oh. I have full video coverage of all my activities in awgu camp. And for that stream it was a hidden thing, it only took guts for us to always sneak, go der and hav a sweet cool bath without bodering to hassle for water. Remember wen the tanker fell down too and crushed peoples fones where they where been charged? It affected my Bold 2 and Nokia E75 in the charging zone also. Maybe we should include pictures here for clarities.

Nasty22: jst saw ur post..pls hw do i ensure dat ma bank details are included..

Basics007: I had this interesting experience last time i visited my elder brother.
I had some business to attend to in Abk so decided to stay at my brother's place for the 1week i'll be spending there since i felt that will be cheaper than goin for an hotel and also to see my lil nephew whom i loved so much. I noticed the wife wasn't that receptive towards me. It initially started with subtle things like taking the infant away from me while playing with him,grumbling all around the house like an housefly etc Then it progressed to locking the kitchen,hiding small stuffs like buckets,soaps etc It wasn't as if she was overtly hostile towards me but i could sense that my presence wasn't totally welcome in the house. I tried to remember if i did anything wrong but but couldn't really place my finger on anything . In short i couldn't wait for the 1wk to be over before i ran like a bat out of hell from the house cos to be frank i wasn't comfortable at all there.
What really suprised me about it all was that this lady and i used to be best of friends while my bro was still courting her and in the earlier part of their marriage. She calls me,sends sms,buy little gifts,encourage me etc Those days seems like an eternity away now as opposed to just 2yrs ago. I thought the problem lies with me or maybe she's going thru somethings at that period. I mean i'm gainfully employed and it's not like am a leaching relative. i narrated my experience to my girlfriend and a few friends only for them to tell me they are experiencing similar issues with their brother/uncle spouses .i.e issues bothering on initially friendly spouses that turned hostile.
That's why i'm kinda wondering why does Sister In Laws change so? Pls i'm not making a general assumption here,i know definitely there are exceptions to the rule. I'm just basing my theory on what i and my friends experienced.

Basics007: Sincerely speaking i didnt call her nor the hubby before going there. And the reason was cos of the good rapport that used to exist btw us.
The major reason for puttin up the post is to know if anyone else is having same issues. I dont just want to judge with what's happening within me and my circle of friends.

Gina-Ukey:
Hi Everyone,

My dear friend went to Nigeria to marry a wonderful man. She was given a marriage certificate by the local Pentecostal church where her husband attends.

They did not do a traditional wedding nor did they do a registry/court wedding.

When she filed for him to come to America, The US Embassy said she is not recognized as being married. The Nigerian laws also do not recognize this union.

She is being told that the marriage certificate she was given by the church is a personal one and not an FRN Marriage license.

Is this true? If she is not married? Then what is she? What did the Pastor perform?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

crusufixo:
I am guessing that you did not school in Nigeria !!!!!!!. For most nairalanders to advise her against schooling in nigeria, isn't that a testimony of how bad the system is ?

gbaby87:
Yeah I know, but its not like I'm in any particular hurry to get to london. Arik is NOT an option! Plus emirates is FAR cheaper than VA or BA, and dubai is ALWAYS fun to go to. But yh the 30kg is my nemesis (airfrance will make me sit at the airport till my legs grow roots! At least dubai I can enter)

EmmaIK:
Please i need help.
i just ccollected my uk refusal letter.

ECO comment
PBS guidance states that you are required to show that you have held sufficient funds for your first year tuition fees and maintenance costs. These amounts must be held in your personal bank account or your parent’s bank account or in an international bank account for a minimum period of 28days. The end of which must not be more than one month before the date of your application, for which you must show bank statements. Your remaining tuition fees are GBP13200 and your remaining maintenance is GBP 5400. Total GBP18600. As evidence you submitted statements of ………, clinic and maternity. Whilst you may have access to these funds in the company bank account, this account is not evidence of your personal funds and you have not provided evidence that this company operates in more than one country. Therefore it’s not acceptable. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved the required 10 points. And therefore refuse your visa application.

Please what do I do since I want to apply again?

What do i do?
in the refusal letter my CAS i scored 30 points.

EmmaIK:
@boy. Thanks.
I submitted the letter but still got refused.
is it because it was a coporate account?
is there anything i can supply like tax clearance? because my dad is the sole signatory to the account?
God bless.

Boy619:
@emmy, dont use your fathers company account they will refuse u again, account must b in your fathers name ,and thus,even if your fathers signatory it doesnt matter.

gbaby87:
Please who has flown emirates to the *UK*? I hear they only allow one piece of luggage and only 30kg!! That can't be right?! Is it?!! I really want to go via dubai but 30kg is like, !!!
