Una go explain tire

But if you receive honorarium to preach, you will not be poor. I hate all these pastors entitlement. They will collect tithe, offerings and all sorts of money in disguise, but want you to render free services to church. They can only deceive the gullibles

What about restitution? I don't think a jail term alone is enough. Those affected should also be compensated for the losses they suffered.

KillahPriest:
It is not Soludo's duty to fight fake pastors, it is left for those who feel they have been scammed by these allegedly fake pastors to file complaints with the police. A note of warning, if Soludo does not desist from this enterprise very soon, next thing you'll hear is the total proscription of Christianity and churches as a whole in Anambra state and indeed Nigeria as a whole. I warned when they started with native doctors because I knew where things would head to and just like play, here we are today. How can a state government with myriads of unfinished business and problems suddenly decide that combating "fake pastors" is the most important thing on its agenda. Anambra people, NTOOOOR

So he should just fold his arms while fake pastors and some native doctors continue to fuel insecurity in Anambra?

We all know that some kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminals hide behind or get support from these people. The governor is simply doing his job by going after anyone linked to criminal activities, regardless of who they are. I believe he's on the right track.

Good day, everyone.

I would appreciate some clarification regarding UK sticker visas issued before the transition to the eVisa system. Has anyone recently travelled using a valid sticker visa? If so, were there any additional steps required to link, validate, or update the visa before travel?

Apologies if this has already been discussed. I would be grateful for any guidance or recent experiences you can share.

Nothing to fear about, I recently traveled with mine issued last year, so you don't need to do anything

aragbaboy:
What is the step-by-step process for a Nigerian traveling to the UK for the first time using the digital e-Visa system, and what exactly should one expect when navigating MMIA in Lagos from check-in to departure? Are there particular documents I should have with me aside from my passport and flight tickets?

I will appreciate if anyone that has used the new e-visa can respond.

You’ll need a printout of the eVisa page showing your photo and details.

For my wife, we went with her share code and passport. We didn’t have that page printed out, so they asked us to log in to her UKVI account and show them the information there.

All these “god of men” who cannot see beyond their nose keep spreading falsehood in the name of God from the altar to gullible members. What business does he have discussing sports on the altar instead of focusing on the message of God?

Younglami:
So what should i do? Cheapest flight is 1.1 million from air maroc. Abuja to London. What should i do then?

From my calculation, the amount you intend to spend on your 5-day trip is roughly equivalent to 6months of your savings. For UKVI applications, spending above 2–3 months’ worth of your salary on a short trip can raise concerns.

I would advise you to strengthen your finance or consider getting a sponsor to support your application.

Younglami:
Good morning

Can someone please advise what i can do in my situation. I'm planning to go to the UK for my OSCE exam via self sponsorship for 5 days . I currently earn 350k take home and spend 80-100k monthly which brings my savings to 250k monthly. At the time of application, i will have a balance of 3.9million and I plan to spend approximately 2 million for my travel expenses ( Airbnb, flight, feeding etc ). Is this a good plan or what can i do to have a better chance of getting the visa?

Please don’t apply, because they are unlikely to grant you a visa. Spending above 50% of your total savings on a 5 days trip may be considered unreasonable by UKVI. Even your proposed ₦2m will most likely not cover your total expenses, considering that the cheapest flight ticket alone is around ₦1.5m.

Ruthiegal:
It’s the cheapest I can find and that’s all I need

A lot of travelers, including some Nigerians have shared negative experiences about Royal Air Maroc online, especially around transit in Casablanca, delayed or missing luggage, customer service, and how passengers were treated

Ruthiegal:
Someone should kindly answer me before I book an unusable ticket please.

You don't need a trans visa, but why Maroc of all airlines?

Atiku should go and rest

akinsanya005:
Boss Good day,
for someone earning 850k & d monthly expense is 400k but has a savings of 3M and going for 7 days vacation; what's the chance?

thank You

Chances are quite slim. It’s better to get a sponsor or build your account to a reasonable amount, around 7m or more. My wife recently got her visa with over 8m in her account, and I also supported her application as a sponsor

tobyemmanuel:
thank you very much. How soon can we reapply though?

Since you stated in the application that she is travelling for an exam, I would advise you to maintain that position. Reapply when the next exam date is close, preferably not less than 6 months, so she will have enough time to improve her financial standing.

tobyemmanuel:
thank you very much. I understand. In the field requesting how much she would spend, we put ₦550,000, do you think it would have helped if she put a lower figure? Actually, I planned to sponsor all her expenses and it was stated.

Also, is there any time restriction for reapplication? How early can we reapply?

Thank you again chief

Yes, an amount equivalent to 2–3 months of her income is ideal. Anything more than that may raise concerns.

tobyemmanuel:
Oh. Thanks just seeing this. But they have refused my wife's application. They didn't factor me as her sponsor.
Any advice

The visa was refused because the officer was not satisfied that your wife's financial situation in Nigeria supports the trip or proves you would return after your visit.

Your salary is ₦190,000 monthly, with about ₦80,750 left after expenses, but you planned to spend ₦550,000 for a 7-day trip. This seemed too high and raised doubts.

Although you are sponsoring her, their focus is mainly on the applicant's financial situation and were not convinced that your wife would return to Nigeria after the exam.

The best option here is to improve her finance and reapply. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the funds available for your trip should ideally not exceed 2–3 months of your normal income; otherwise, it may raise concerns with the visa officer. Best of luck 🤞

what's the code for mifi users?

Don't know too

The endorsement would have been inconsequential if there is a strong party to battle APC

Goodluck70000:
Hello good people in the house Cashmadan and other gurus

Please mr gesille do not respond to my post I do not need talk in my post

Please good people, this is the reply I received from home office after the submission of PAP LETTER for refusal of my wife and daughter application,

Pls see the letter below

My question is,
is there hope that the SSHD of home office will overturn there decision?

Yes, there is definitely hope since they have agreed to reconsider the decision, but it is still a 50–50 chance until the final outcome is made.

Available to only Mifi users

This looks like a Sparrowhawk

tobyemmanuel:
Thank you

At times, it can be very fast. My wife received a successful email just 5 days after applying for a 2-year visa

tobyemmanuel:
Hello here, how long does the UK Visitor visa approval take? I did my biometrics on April 13 and I am yet to get a response. Please help

15 working days max.

ghis202:
I have just received a UK visitor visa for 6 months. It is an eVisa, so there is no visa stamp in my passport.

Can I book a return flight with KLM? Do KLM require a transit visa in this scenario?

Thank you.

Yes, transit visa is needed

Goodluck70000:
Hello @ Giselle

I said I wrote letter to address last refusals, but the eco said they were not satisfied.

I am asking the house to put me through,how to write the letter that will satisfied the eco in the next application.

If the written of the letter is solve,the remaining two reasons are also easy to solve,if you read the refusal letter I pasted above, you will see that my family was refused for three reasons. That is the area I want you to contribute way forward not asking us to stopped struggling for progress.pls go and the read before passing
Judgment

Just as I said earlier, you need to put a hold on further applications. Your repeated applications will not sway them; rather, it now looks like desperation. I would advise you to take at least a one-year break and apply again when your circumstances have changed and you are able to meet the concerns raised in the visa refusal letter.

Goodluck70000:
As a sponsor all my documents were submitted.

Please read the refusal letter,so that you can contribute way to solution

Sorry, I replied based on what you wrote here and didn’t read the attached letter. From the refusal letter, the reasons for refusal were clearly stated. I would advise you to pause further applications for sometime and work on correcting those issues first. Continuous reapplication without addressing them may appear as desperation to them.

Goodluck70000:
Husband is the sponsor, I forgot to mention it

As the sponsor, did you supported the application with proper documents like, a sponsorship letter, marriage certificate, bank statements, and proof of your financial capacity?

Sorry about the refusal.

1. Someone earning ₦3 million annually is not expected to be going on vacation unless there is strong financial backing. For a 2-week trip, the expected spending should usually not exceed about 3 months of income, which in this case is around ₦750k. That amount may not even cover a flight ticket, except there is a sponsor who is genuinely related to you and can support the trip.

2. You also did not clearly specify your itinerary. They expected you to mention the exact places you intended to visit for sightseeing and your planned activities during the trip.

mojisolani:

N4m is equivalent of your 6 months income, it is too much.

Hello everyone, please I need some help.

My visitor visa application was successful, but I’m having issues linking it with UKVI. I’ve created an account, downloaded the app, and got to the stage where I need to scan my passport chip. However, I keep getting a “network not connecting” error.

I’ve tried several times with my Redmi Note 13 (it has NFC), but the issue persists.

Has anyone experienced this before? Please share how you resolved it.
