Na wa oh. The kind of bile being thrown around here these days. The level of toxicity on this thread is just insane. I really hope this isn’t a a representation of Nigerians in the UK generally.

What if it is?? Would you because of that pack ur baggages back to Nig? Or shelve ur relocation plans?? Totally unnecessary comment!

Anyone know the best way to move (physical or online) USD savings in a Nigerian domiciliary account to the UK? Will they allow an individual to withdraw bill USD cash? Is it save to travel with that amount? Any other electronic transfer options?

Please tell ur brother to send the money into your mother's account, and use remark of trip expenses or something of that nature

Also let ur brother upload like 3 month pay slips and evidences of his work place

Reason i am saying this is because if the money is in ur brother acc and not ur mum acc ur mum maybe denied because visa officer might say there might be a possibility that if the mama comes to uk the guy wont release the money to her as she is not in full custody of the money and she is at the mercy of the son so its better the mama is in full custody of the money

The same happen to my sis
She used her company acc to apply she even uploaded every document to show she owns the company

She was denied because they said company money is not the same as personal money that why dint she move the money to her personal acc

That what if the board of director did not allow her spend from the company acc after she has enter uk

Can u imagine, for her own company one man company o, sole proprietary company

I’m not entirely sure that’s the reason for refusal. When filling the application form, there’s a question which says who will sponsor the trip? In the case of mum’s visit, the son can insert his details. The issues you raised is when you choose the mum is going to be responsible for the trip and have the funds in a different account. Better to put £1 or N1 as what her contribution to the trip expenses will be. Then provide payslips, bank statements etc of the real sponsor to back up the application. For mum’s occupation, he can put housewife or retire. Nothing like business person or employee.

Hi, thanks for your response but i respectfully disagree with the statement in bold. My brother is the sponsor, he’s in The UK and he doesn’t have to send money to my Mum’s account for the trip. His account statement/documents is sufficient but just want to know what amount will be fair to write as his total spend for the trip, thanks

This may not be the best way. The sponsor should show evidence of the funds for the trip and include it in the application.
On your friend's story, the company account does not belong to them so they failed to show that they had funds available to pay for the trip. Else how will UKBA determine how much in the company account is staff salary, taxes, other liabilities and profit? The fact that the company has money in the bank does not mean the comapny is liquid. In my opinion, they took the right decision in denying that application.

Depends on the trip duration.
Flight + feeding money (I’m assuming she’s stay in his house, otherwise include accommodation /hotel costs as well). Ensure the total amount is reasonable compared to monthly salary. For example if he earns £2000/ monthly but wants to spend £10,000 for this trip. It’s a big red flag and may lead to visa refusal. Very common reason actually.

Elders in the house, please how do you cut cost on car repairs in this UK?

I was recently charged £630 to replace REAR brake pads, brake disc and and brake callipers on a 2012 Honda Jazz... just rear brakes oo.


I later checked the prices of those parts on ebay and its about one-third of what I was charged at the garage. The price difference looks ridiculous but I'm also concerned about the genuineness of the parts listed on ebay.

Any pointers will be appreciated.


By the way, Honda Jazz is a very reliable car for starters. Drove about 9k in 1 year without any issues; serviced once and replaced rear brakes components. Glad I followed oga Lexus recommendations.

The bolded should not be applicable if it's a personal account. When my mum came, i didn't deposit any funds in her account and I haven't heard anybody done such. I only stated I will sponsor the trip 100% and provided PoF.

People get refused for huge/suspicious deposits prior to visa application except you want to give plenty explanation for it.

Use pensioneer, house wife to avoid plenty explanations. But if you can explain, you can as well use self employed and provide evidences of tax compliance, personal income from the business etc.

Or try Capital One ... Though the limit can be around £200 - £500

I’m unable to register because I haven’t lived in the UK for up to 3 years.
Is there a way I can go around that? What if I lie that I have lived in the UK for 3 years?

Share code alone is enough. I know people that filled their share code only and got their provisional licence.
Just fill in your share code and no need to send your BRP.

The MOT history would have highlighted most of this defects........ Hence when negotiating price, you shave something off .........

Did you replace the parts at a Honda garage, if not parts they used, would be similar to parts sold on Ebay.......

Aside that fact, you still enter Kingsway go replace the parts .......

eBay remains the best parts plug, then get a mobile mechanic, pay £100 or so, job done .......🤣😜
