SEFAGO:
Mate the word you are trying to find is "Hooliganism"

Yeah I am a working [sic] dictionary

Whether is hooliganism, wooliganism, nooliganism kooliganism, IDC! Ever had witness when those 'whitey' fight, loot shops and burn wheelie bins because thier football or rugby club got the whip? Remember shefield wednesday, forest, swindon town, bristol rovers, gloucester rugby saga? And how many fish en chips and small indian, lebanese, and turkish shop owners got attacked and looted?

First time I am witness a government being formed with no action plan!

But I pray GEJ performs, others our development clock will be wound back by another 12years!

Kenezi:
Kouruji, we call a spade a spade. If the majority of the rioters were black, and the majority of violent crime in London is committed by black people, we are going to mention it. Are you angry because your Marxist views are challenged by visible facts?

simply pathetic! If you have lived around the UK, maybe you would not be making such comments bereft of sound reasoning!

Let me remind you that gang culture is historically alien to blacks, go do some reading if you care to learn.

If you think blacks brought gang culture, looting, rioting to the UK, take your time to study football league history in the UK, the hillsbrough disaster, the reason a raod is called 'white ladies road' in Bristol, History of Bedminister in Bristol and to crown it all, the sole reason England was suspended from UEFA football cup for some years!

If I have my way, and should that panelist be on the payroll of the BBC, then his P60 will be in post to him in 21 working days!

The widespread rioting and looting is just a tip of the iceberg! One of the obvious reasons for the rioting and looting can be traced to 'racist' and 'class' mindsets (like that of the panelist) entrenched in the institutions in the UK.Maybe PM D.C knows this, hence his lofty cry to repair 'broken' britain!

While every act that goes against the civil norms such as the rioting and looting in London and elsewhere is condemable, bring 'race' into the matter is disgusting!

We know the queen of england can not be left alone in a convenience shop (big or small) with candy bars and chocolates 'sticky' hanging out the shelves, does that mean we can conclude the whites are the author of pitty stealing?

Currently watching this development with two eyes!
No doubt this development will give birth to so many bespoke companies who will end up generating employment for nigerians.

My appreciation goes out to Omo_Tier1, Justwise and others for their inputs while my sister was awaiting her decision. She has finally been granted her visa 

Many thanks!

Congrats, guess patience and perseverance finally prevailed! Wish her best of UK experience, a cup of tea please! two sugars, medium not too much milk !!!

Beaf:
Are you a member? Cos, your level of reasoning is usually inferior to that of a beat up nematode.
"Strong" leadership from the past created the environment that has given us boko haram, maitatsine, kalo kato etc. No?

To answer your question simply, your thrust is affirmitive and it is obvious that Nigerians have long been denied genuine, true and purposeful leadership which obviously have stunted the growth and development of the country, nationalizing corruption, casting abroad poverty, and idolizing criminality.

Regardless, permit me to say that You are the least of all men born of a woman to talk about 'strong' of 'purposeful' leadership!

Excuse me to ask what beclouded your reasoning all through the period you vehemently projected a leadership to rule nigeria, when it was so obvious that this same leadership is bereft of ideas to change the lives of the nigerian citizens.

wow, so GEJ austerity has finally driven out this beaf!

beaf, has boko haram placed you on their most wanted list yet

The mistake must have been made by the section who stamps visas, guess someone's cup of tea got cold!

[quote author=dom-amaobi link=topic=725184.msg8831128#msg8831128 date=1312192048]This is day light robbery from a foreigner and in my own country for that matter!!!!![/quote]No refund, what you should have done is check your visas when you received it to make sure the correct visas was issued to you and if not, contact them immediately for them to make amends.

What you may be able to do is give them a call and request for them to issue you the correct visas.

Hi ya,
OMA4J,could you help e-mail a copy of the Nigeria police certificate form to this e-mail;friendlytalk9@yahoo.com for in the US as He is in need of a police certificate from Nigeria.
Do yo also know how much they do charge for processing in Nigeria?

Look forward to your reply

Kind regards.

@Omo_Tier1,

please do u know if its advisable to apply for a tourist visa with someone sponsoring me even though i work but my salary doesnt go to my account and i dont have much in my account.
please kindly respond. thanks

and pls.

i want to apply for a tourist visa to the uk. please can i know the documents to submit and also in the section where it was written if i have any family or friends in the uk, what is the appropriate response to it. please, for the tourist visa, is it just one during the 6months one can use the visa? lastly, can i use my account which has less than 400k in it in applying. or should i get a sponsor. i work in an upcoming company which doesnt pay money into any account as i am been paid cash. please your response is highly needed. thanks and God bless

Sorry it appears my last reply posted yesterday did not reflect here.

As for your question, sponsoring will definately help. The concern I have is your bank account not reflecting payment of your salary as the ECO will want a proof that the salary you claim you are earning is true.
Can I ask if payslips are provided by the company?
Also if your sponsor has a good account, then get your sponsor to provide you his/her most recent bank account statements with a supporting letter of declaration that he/she will be responsible for your upkeep throughout your visit. Your own bank account statement is okay going by the amount you stated and you can also use it as a supporting statement of proof of your ability to meet up with extras expenses during your visit should the need arise.

As for the documents you require;
1. A letter of invitation, stating clearly that you will be accommodated in the address indicated in the invitation letter.

2. Six months payslip

3. Bank account statements for 6months

4. Documents of Landed properties

5. Letter of introduction from work place; stating period of leave granted, your employment history -promotion- and the expected return date from your visit to the UK

As for the question about friends/family in the UK, say the obvious yes if you do.This will in no way affect your application negatively and it saves you from embarrassment in future applications.
The six months multiple is applicable, but what people tend to do is visit once with six months,spend reasonable time say 3weeks, comeback and apply for two years with multiple.

Again, as for sponsor, use one if you have but be sure the person knows you and can answer questions about your person as the ECO might phone him/her up to chat about you and your planned visit.Make sure that person has a legitimate stay documents, good contact/residential address in the UK.And the person is willing to provide you utility bills in thier name and resident address. If the person is working, a letter of introduction from her/his employer is helpful but not a must.

Finally, make sure all documents are vetted by you to be originals and no fakes! British high commission abhores fake documents and you will be slammed with long term ban!

Any further questions and I will gladly respond.
hope this isn't late and helpful.

Congrats to them! Hope thier success will ginger upcoming Nigerians that there is reward in hardwork and that they can unleash thier potentials in Nigeria and the world will see thier stars from the east and come tracing like the maggi in the bible.

If only the looters of national treasury invest much of thier loot in building factory, promoting local manufacturing, and next-gen services in nigeria, unemployment, crime and insecurity would be very minimal in the society.

jamace:
^^^But we were not told the loc thy bought it from. Moreover, there was no official police permit for the transaction. How are we sure it was not a fast one to cover up the whole story? I don't trust this our police o. Papers can be produced under 2 minutes to make the transaction genuine. That is why many things are wrong because we live in an era of "decieve me, I decieve you, God no go vex". One thing I believe is whosoever diggeth a pit, same shall fall in it.

The police this time gave details on where the company were transporting the explosives from and the destination site . The only query the police raised was that the company didnot brief the high command of the exact planned movement of the truck so as to enable her men keep guard on the road in anticipation of the passage of the truck.

The army were even more categorical in thier press release, going a step further to mention the name of the company,the individuals who were escorting the truck and the name of the director of the company who also confirmed the truck movement and subsequent interception and release of the truck by the Nigeria police upon confirming the ownership of the explosives as belonging to the company and its intended purpose for mining.

About $1bn (156bn Naira) is to be expended in the development of the Abuja World trade Center which will comprise a twin 37 storey building structure.

The first phase which is already at the foundation level will be completed in 2013.

The building project is being funded through Public Private Partnership (PPP) with development funds being sourced through external borrowing from International development Banks.

edoyad:
i know your kind, criticise every move the govt makes but are first to shout inequitude when nothing is done. Until investigations are concluded those two, like in the French judicial system are guilty until proven innocent.

Hate to say this, but you ran your mouth wider than you can breathe!

The SUN newspaper with thier 'akara' journalism ran a sensationalized story on thier front page without due deligence and confirmation.

The Nigeria Army and the Police HQ have come out to denounce the story, confirming that the truck load of explosives intercepted by the police was strictly for a mining company, and that vehicle was carrying the explosives to site with the bill of content and transport duly attached and an escort police was even amongst those following the vehicle!

I think the Nigerian press should make serious effort to verify thier stories before rushing to print.

What was the currency in use in the different regions that now make up Nigeria? Or did they not have any currency in use?

Increasingly,Nigeria is gradually upgrading here infrastructure and industrailization is slowly but surely taking its root in the country. However,with these upgrade/modernization comes automation of processes, which sometimes involves dedication of communication through internet highways.

Learning a lesson from the continued assault on Iran by the USA and allied countries , see this http://www.foxnews.mobi/quickPage.html?page=38321&content=53736766&pageNum=-1 then I ask myself if Nigeria has a tight lip internet highway security policy?

Omo_Tier1,

I just receive the package now from DHL, it contain the following:

1) Hotel Reservations (London & Edinburgh)
2) the full itinerary on the tour operator letterhead and duely signed.
3) Receipt of deposit and balance due date
4) terms and Condition

What do i need to do now.

I guess the next step is

1. Get a letter of introduction from where you are working,(if you are working) stating that they are aware of your planned UK tour, with the departure dates and possible return dates.

2. Get an upto date statement of the same bank account you used in your first application. Please try as much as you can to avoid using a different bank account to prevent ECO thinking otherwise.

3. If you are salaried by payslip, prepare 6 months of past payslips. This isn't a must but it helps.

4. Landed property (original documents)

5. A letter to the Entry Clearance Officers. The letter should address the following
1. That you applied for a UK visit visas earlier this year but was refused.- state the reasons given for the refusal- and then go on to explain in the letter how you have addressed the concerns of the ECO.

2.That you have made arrangement for your UK tour with a tour guide and that you have paid £200 deposit and that you will be making the balance at arrival. Indicate to the ECO that you have included your personal bank account statement which shows that you can pay for the balance tour deposit, afford your ticket to and from the UK, and have spare for spending and emergency.

3.let the ECO know of the accommodation arrangement as included in the tour package and point the ECO to the hotel reservation documents. Also point to the itinenary included in the pack.

4. conclude by itemizing all the documents you attached to your application and what they are ment for. This will help prevent the ECO misrepresenting your documents and the intended purpose.

If you prefer, when you are through with the letter, PM me a copy and I can peruse it and give you feed back.

Let also say that 'm going this detail so that the ECO will have no doubt whatsoever of the sincerity of your intended travels. Personally, I think you have done alot for this trip and it is a shame the ECO who considered your first application had a bad day at office when He looked at your application.

Hope this helps and please verify EVERY DOCUMENTS yourself to make sure they are genuine and where possible, obtain stamped documents especially bank statements.

claremont:
Good points, but if you have a research done which conclusively shows that prayer works, kindly let me have a summary. You said "The existence of God as the first cause of all beings is an axiom that stands", that is were you are wrong my friend, because it has never been proven that creationism ever happened. A belief that a deity created the world in 7 days is not only farcical but also totally insane, even theologians agree that 80% of what is written is the Bible is false i.e. never happened.

The part in bold comes across as though you have been living in a remote village for a very long time.

I know you want to debate the issue of God's existence, but I put to you that let every man be saved or condemed by what he/she believes -least debating God's existence doesn't help you that much-

Even your inner being KNOWS you belong to God. So rest your mind, when the time come calling, you will stand before the one whom you have denied all your days!

I thought a question bothering on christianity should get a rightful answer from christianity alone and not some dead idols who can't talk, walk nor see?

The answer to this question was rightly answered by a poster! Romans 2 says it all.

@PAGAN 9JA, if your idols, be it African truly lives, why couldn't they resist the wind of the east when GOD sent her to 'roll' over the seas on the advancing armies of pharoh?
Ya god is dead and fallen!

In the days of ignorance, God overlooks BUT today is come salvation.

This wannabe atheist benin born poster whose ancient fathers were worshippers in ogun, olokun swept by the floods to England, let confused, now out spewing what the earth has denounced right from the days of Naoh!

I once told this poster in the TRAVEL section of Nairaland that him and his messages are "unreasonably reasonables" period!

HSBC is the company that should be blacklisted for money laundering really as reports upon reports have fingered them in several high profile cases of money laundering with several despotic leaders including that of Libya!

Deep Soul:
Really, what sense does your comment make? In what way does it relate to the topic being discussed?

Next time:

Read*  *Pause*   *Digest*  *If not understood, sharrap*

@OP:
The bank has rights to choose who it wants to do business with. RCCG shd simply move to another bank, shikena!

I do not know where you guys get your information from! Can you please show us the US Financial Services regulation where it is stated that Banks can choose whom they so wish as thier customers.However, here in the UK, under the race and equality, if the reasons given by RCCG's branch is true, then HSBC would be preparing themselves for a huge fine.

I still want to be very very sure that the reasons as stated in this article is true. I have my doubts!

Does anyone have the e-mail address of this branch of RCCG? I seriously want to e-mail them to ask if truly the account was closed 'cos they were Nigerians. If true, I need to fire a letter to HSBC HQ in the London, seeking clarification and also copy the appropriate obudsman as I am a Nigerian and I have banked with HSBC UK for years and if true, I wouldn't want to bank with them anymore.I had reasons to still put up with them after the revelation that they were massively involved in looting of funds from Nigeria using proxy!

If the reasons given by RCCG's branch is true,then HSBC will probably kiss goodbye to Nigeria, West Africa and like vodefone, they will end up bitting thier fingers as a result of the financial losses innthe very near future.

Maybe thier slogan should read "the world's local bank for whites only"

If you want to understudy Nigeria's fall then look at the history of the dearth of investigative journalism in Nigeria.

But nonethless, Nigeria press is not a complete write off, rather when you read or watch thier 'outputs' as you would do a "spotted spoilt pinapple",you chop off the part spotted spoilt and make do with what you are left with.

Khadie:
Dear all, this new Tier 4 rule from July 4 is confusing o. Pls what does this mean? If I am going for my Master's does it mean I can't go with my parner even if i am on a shcolarship?

"From 4 July 2011, only new students sponsored by a higher education institution on a course at NQF level 7 or above lasting 12 months or more, and new Government sponsored students following a course that is longer than six months, will be able to bring their partners and / or children to the UK with them".
?

I think the directive is self explanatory like you posted.

You can only bring your partner along if the period you will be studying in the UK is more than 12months.

So check the duration your university stated your master course would run for and then check the duration of your visas and if more than 12months i.e 2years, then most likely you will be able bring your partner over.

Taught Masters in the UK is usually 9.5months plus 3months for result and graduation. Research Masters varies as some do take 15 to 18months.

Hmmmmm, can this be the same Sanusi that barely 1 year ago called for removal of Fuel subsidy? or is this Hilary Cliton "mispoke"/

Who dash dem gadgets? You think say na Beans pie to hack? No be wetin u go learn from UNN, OAU, UI, UNIBEN,

You seems to conclude so easily that the hacking will be done by the journalist but have we have come to learn from the UK News of the World hacking saga, the journalist barely do the hacking, rather unethically they source for (in the words of Gordon Brown, ex-UK PM)"underworld crminals" who do the job for them.

So the real question is; are there such indibiduals (aka underworld criminal phone hackerd)with the capability to do such dirty bids should the Nigeria press decides to follow the stinky path of thier western colleagues?

With the phone hacking scandal rocking the UK, I just wonder if Nigeria press are or could indulge in such criminal behaviours in the name of journalism.

Is this even possible in Nigeria?

Have you used any of the visas services rendered by the British Embassy and UKBA and you really want to let them know how very good,good, poor or abysmal thier overall services are? Then follow the link below and fill out the survey.

Omo_tier1,

Many thanks, I have gone ahead to re-confirm from them and also make the payment, I should receive the hotel and other confirmation plus the 200 pounds deposit doucments via dhl hopeful by Thursday (this Week). am hoping i can send in the application by Friday.

I look forward to the words concerning the application itself.

Cheers

Great, hopefully everthing comes in post on thursday this week.

Can I just advise that you shouldn't be in a hurry to submit your application on Friday. Why not take your time (probably the weekend) to peruse the documents they are forwarding to you and thereafter submit the application.

Yep, I will drop those words once you get the documents in post - nothing so special but I just feel it might help your application.
