Your travel insurance company, are they based in Nigeria.........

Lexusgs430:
You have no influence over other people's behaviour...... But when a wrong is exhibited, seek legal redress......

Let's put you in her shoes, when the tribunal awarded damages, would you reject the financial compensation........ 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

ReesheesuKnack:
Ukrainians were chased by Putin & his tanks. Would you rather prefer that you came here because Cameroun or Chad or Niger or Benin are bombing & killing and destroying your village in Nigeria?
You paid 16k tuition, really?
But that is not the beginning of the story. Before paying the tuition, do you remember what else you did?
Let me remind you.
a. You showed proof of funds to assure the UK that money ain’t ya problem, that you had enough ££ to take care of yourself, & any dependants, didn’t you?
b. Remember that zoom video interview? Do you remember what you outlined to the interviewer about your plans upon graduation?

Zahra29:
Yes, but it would be reasoned judgement and not finger in the air.

Even with a generous margin applied to the estimate, the figures would still point to under 50% of dependants being economically active.

Zahra29:
It's not innuendo, it has been stated numerous times by the government and I'm sure they have access to data points and not just anecdotes:

Surely some dependants work – so by banning them you are reducing the amount of working people coming to the UK?   

We estimate that only around 25% of dependants work when they come to the UK.

It's obvious, even from this forum, that the majority of master's students came in with or were joined by their families. Some are now struggling to pay the PSW fees for the family especially with the increased IHS. Some have opted to send the kids back in the short term, some have opted to leave out the children and just apply for the parents for now. Some had planned to jump onto the care visa and avoid paying IHS altogether but have been caught out by the new policies.

Good afternoon everyone

Please for those of us residing in the UK and applying for a US visa, do we also get 5 years if us visa is approved.

Zahra29:
What if the prospective employer sent out a comprehensive reference questionnaire, as many do, and the current employer decides to answer fully instead of sending out a template response like most large organisations do.

Some questions might probe the candidate's absence and punctuality record as well as other aspects of their performance, and leave space for examples. So if the current employer decides to answer candidly e.g.

Q: Please comment on the employee's ability to work well within a team, providing examples where possible

A: Employee got on well with his team members and supervisors. However, although it wasn't a disciplinary matter, it was noticed on occasion that he joined team meetings quite late and sometimes skipped important team meetings without giving a valid explanation

I don't see why the employer would be penalised by a tribunal if he has receipts e..g Teams records to back up his response.

His response could be seen to be neutral and fact based and if cleverly written could easily mask his true intentions.

Viruses:
Perhaps I don't know how certain things work.

But if you have a habit of joining online microsoft teams meetings late for instance, I do not complain or caution you against it, I only note it in your file. Can I not state that in your reference and when the need arise, I use the attendance sheet generated by Microsoft teams that shows the time each person joined the meeting as evidence?

Abeg forgive them. In roads infrastructures, Oyo State beat all the 5 states in the South East not to talk of northern region.

Goodenoch:
So what's your solution? People unable to work or live normally due to their disability shouldn't be supported to have normal lives? Or you think they are paid too much so they should only be kept alive but not afforded any opportunity for leisure?

This individual's case is clearly very unique and that's why it's in the news. Beware of assuming that's the norm (unless you know many other people saving 50k from their disability payments).

Also, whether it benefits the economy or not is secondary. The core question is whether it benefits people to live a good life. What's the point of a robust economy if large swathes of people are living in lack due to not being able to work and earn an income and also not being supported by the government?

DivinegiftofGod:
How can you say 100 pounds is not like 100 naira? How can you compare 1600 Pounds to 1600 naira? Do you even know what you're saying?

Ok, since you want to compare cost of living, can 1600 naira afford you all those things you mentioned in Nigeria? Since you feel they are both of the same value.. if you earn 1600 in Nigeria it can't even feed you a day. But the Same 1600 pounds can afford you a lot both home and abroad and you'll still be able to save so what exactly is your point?

DivinegiftofGod:
This is pure jeolousy. Envying your own family members is the height of witchcraft


It's not their fault that they live in a place where the 10 dollars you send can get them a luxury it can't afford you over there. If you look at it, you still spend the bulk of your money more than them because you send them chingum money that can't take you a week but spend thousands of what you send to them there for yourself. So how are they enjoying more than you?
Person go just dey begin calculate the small 100 dollars ( wey be like 100 naira to am) wey him dey send say e too much. Small prayers wey you for receive for sending a meager 100 dollars, you now lose it because of over calculations.

It's this wicked mentality that is making many of you to be stingy. It's very bad. If they have the opportunity to be there like you, I'm sure they won't ask you for anything.

Keep your money. Those in naija go still shine and fresh pass una because we eat real natural organic food and get natural Vit D year round.
You guys wait. It's only a matter of time, we will soon have good govt and nobody will send you and your lonely lives abroad anymore.

Very stingy people.

This London na wa. At the end of the month when. I check my total expenses on public transport na small thing remain I for just start to cry .

youngrichnigga:
No way, I used an official company line and it was registered in the company's name. My biometric was not taken and I was only issued the phone by our telecoms after registering in the company name. The Telecoms guys in the office maintained a spreadsheet of phone assignment within the company and has nothing to do with putting the NIN on it as the company officially owns the line in the records of the Telcos

youngrichnigga:
By default, the NIN shouldn't be linkable to two names(identities which included fingerprint, pictures etc). Except you're now telling us that that database is not foolproof and admitting the country just wasted and spent billions of Naira buying and paying for untested and compromised database system

He doesn’t have to give it to them but if he agreed by signing that it was a condition of employment, they can act accordingly and terminate his contract of employment.
Regardless of when the account was created, if he signed an employment contract which includes language on social media transparency, etc then he basically agreed to it.

1stGenAmerican:
I’ve seen it happen in the US. What does the employment contract that you signed say about social media accounts geared towards career? Review your employment contract, it may actually say that this is a condition of employment. Never sign and agree to anything without total comprehension and agreement.

talentarena:
My use of all scheghen countries was for this forum only of course I dint use that in my application, I stated the number of countries, I dint even mention all that I have been to and I used just two business which is sales of cameras and other production equipment, i also showed my airbnb earnings where I get paid by airbnb directly into my US account, I showed all the evidence to show that I own the houses I use for airbnb, wrote a detail cover, trust me i think the only thing I dint add was my tax cos I dint see it as a requirement and I don't even pay tax (my bad) I just felt paind that I got rejected infact I did hold my pasport as I am on a business trip, so trust me i did everything right paid my self 500k for 1 year spent just 150k monthky from it also showed my us acc and showed that I most of my spending was from the US acc and my airbnb earnings went there, I think i did my best and I will just leave them maybe I will go when I get a dual citizenship that doesn't require uk but then again I was honestly just trying to add uk to one of the countries I have seen as I am on a mission to see all them counties, but it is what it is.

talentarena:
Trust me bro, i mean major countries, i have a us acc with closing ball of 18k usd with proves that I make my money from airbnb, I submitted all my airbnb screenshot, I submitted my Nigeria salary acc, I have been to canada 3 times still have 8 years valid in my canada, I did Europe tour including Russia, turkey and all them scheghen countries, bro i have been everywhere no bragging, but uk is kuku that's all I can say.

Cashmadam:
I'm female by the way.

I don't believe your travel history. You said ALL. Now, it's major Countries. If this is how you brag and provide inconsistent information, I'm not surprised about the outcome of your application. I insist that UK will never stress you if you have half of the travel history you claim you have. Never. Take this from someone who has been travelling to the UK since 1977. Yes, 47 years.

Be true to yourself. We don't know you and you don't need to colour the truth. I doubt if you can afford the extensive travel history you claim based on your purported income. Too many holes in your story...

Reapply and present only relevant and genuine documents. I know very few people who have been to more than 15 Schengen Countries - and they are well heeled individuals....
