Am believing God that i get my Visa next week. I will book any available flight straight to Cardiff my brother. I did not even buy any Africa food stuff. I dont even have accomodation yet. Might stay wit a friend or stay in Hotel. Till i settle mysef. My dear in d name of Jesus b4 friday i should be in Cardiff. University of Southwales.
Applied in Lagos, because i had no where to stay in abuja and was financially down. Dis my second application. I am trusting in God for goodnews. First one took 11 days. I knw dis will take same time.
mayo47: I respect ur faith but i'll advise u nt to apply till u get ur visa
Why not go with mayo's advice first holyboy? undecided undecided
Your posts show anxiety and ill preparedness
Why not research likely hotels you could lodge, friends you could bunk with temporarily, airline[s] you could likely follow and even available accommodation you could rent when your boots are on ground?
At least you have access to the Internet which can aid all this? embarassed embarassed
Or do you want to see your visa first and get to Wales before planning how to go about all this things?
You seem to have faith but top it up with common-sense and a plan cool cool

PoliticsRe: Atiku Presidential Campaign BillBoard In Abuja (PHOTO) by ochukoccna: 8:06pm On Sep 21, 2013
Why are Nigerian polithieftians eyeing 2015 so desperate?
Why are they violating the electoral act with impunity?
Bamidele did similar by holding a campaign rally of sorts in Ekiti
APC in a bid to create awareness have been having political rallies of some sorts
Atiku in the pic above too
None the less, the blame must be put squarely on GEJ's overbearing helper aka Madam Shepopotemus whose subtly started her husband's 2015 campaign
Hope Nigerians who would queue in the sunshine and rainfall to cast votes can see that all this chaps are only after and about POWER not SERVICE

abnot: @ochukoccna did you apply on sept 4?
No I did not
Like I said before, Stop stressing yourselves
First recall you indicated on the form your likely travel date
Even if the BHC doesn't issue your visa before then, recall most if not all schools gave 2 week extra [10 working days] after resumption as a deadline for late registration
I believe any serious minded student's application would see a visa issuance before school resumption and a WORST CASE SCENARIO would be late registration
I personally don't subscribe to the late reg theory seeing arriving earlier helps one bed into his/her new surroundings faster
That said, I know CAS issuance especially getting new payments to reflect can be a hassle not forgetting funds release for many of us here along with the 28 day wait

FamilyRe: Traditional Marriage In The Village, Is It Compulsory? by ochukoccna: 5:15pm On Sep 19, 2013
Excellentspirit: Most of the people that do their traditional marriage especially in the cities to me don't know their roots or they re amongst d “OSU” or they are slaves. African Culture generally is dwindling. *smh
Meringe: My friend, this is a general problem that's affecting every igbo state now and not peculiar to any igbo state. I have seen Anambra peeps that does it.
Manager Finance in my workplace from Obosi , anambra state that will retire from service next year can not speak igbo. What do you expect from his kids? These are the people that can subscribe to have their trad weddn in the city.
This posts above I believe contain the crux of the matter i.e. erosion of African cultural practices by agents of globalization
The op might have said her cousins 'hate' their father's village but I believe what she meant to say was they cannot relate nor connect with their 'roots'
I wonder what will happen to our so called 'culture' when the present generation of our parents aged 50 and above die off
Many young ones go to their various villages across Nigeria because their parents/guardians compel them
Many have been told by this same ones and Nollywood that our villages and extended families are peopled by witches and wizards
Apart from during ceremonies like weddings, yam festivals or the yuletide and similar seasons;many a young people can't relate with the village nor function properly there seeing most of what constitutes life to them along with their natural inclinations are formed in cities and towns far from removed from the village
To now expect such globalized people to function in our villages because of culture and tradition is outright dishonest to say the least
Finally,we (Nigeria's various tribes) have to reinvent ourselves as a people seeing we are holding on to many customs and traditions that the boat of humanity has long evolved from
Culture is supposed to be dynamic but many of us are still marooned in practices which our cultures and traditions ought to have evolved and finetuned to reflect current realities and trends.

Also if you are rich enough to afford the Nokia,compare it with the S4 ,LG's G2 and Xperia Z before making your purchase

Most Chinese flagship phones which have upped their game in design and functionality (with some now using Snapdragon SoC's)are currently minimal failures undecided
Why do I say this? lipsrsealed
Due to a lack of features that have become common place in the name brand flagships e.g. NFC,4G,Optical Image Stabilization etc
Even Jiayu S1 apart from been late has put me off after seeing the specs it would have
They are really pushing and advancing their technological prowess but for them not to incorporate features that are no longer niche ones is a no no for me
Cashwise,they are easy on one's wallet but why buy a phone (no matter how cheap) with soon yo be irrelevant standards
I'd rather wait 6-12 months for a brand name offering's price to drop and make my purchase than buy a Chinese top end which lacks the top brand's features
Foreign AffairsRe: Reasons Why A Diplomatic Solution To The Syrian Crisis Is Unlikely by ochukoccna: 10:34pm On Sep 17, 2013
plaetton: @op:

You are absolutely right.
There are too many vested interests who have invested too so much on this particular war party.

The question that everyone should be asking is:
If the President of the United States of America, the de facto most powerful man on earth, is being forced into an armed conflict against his own wishes , his own philosophy, and his own judgement, then who or what are the groups that are capable of wielding such powers?

Such powers represent the real danger to the future of humankind.
The answer to your question is simple
The American War Machine Establishment is baying fot fresh blood and new food.
Hope they don't choke on this
What I do not understand is why Americans are not taking their government to task over their shadowy alliance with Jihadist groups

You drive over the Niger Bridge, enter the neighbouring state and a different world. One where thousands of the small machines ferry people and any goods you can think of around. We saw one driver with four passengers, two adults and two children precariously balanced in front and behind him. Oil barrels containing God knows what, weighing heavily on the clearly inadequate suspension. I was told someone had seen an Okada carrying a donkey, strapped to the driver as though he was giving it a piggy back. I don’t know if I believe this, but, from what I saw in Onitsha that day, I can’t rule it out
