Thanks for the info. I actually chose Crytsal Lodge for the purpose of the application because the rate is cheap (566 for 13 nights for a double room). I am cancelling the booking today. I will actually stay with friends in london and manchester. I will book another hotel where i will stay for probably one or two days before moving over to my friends' places

If you've stated in your application that you have no friends and families in the UK, better stick to it to avoid troubles at POE.
You can still go to Crystal lodge or any other hotel, probably stay there for one or two nights and move to friend's apartment to be on a safer side.
If you've ever watched UK border force, you'll know anything can happen at POE.
In case you don't know, if you're subjected to a secondary inspection, an officer has a right to go through your phone, diary and organisers. So avoid incriminating emails, sms, phone calls to your UK contacts.
Guide your visa jealously.

At the POE in Heathrow, the ECO asked to see my hotel reservations, she looked thru it and wrote down the address somewhr. So I don't knw if it's possible for u to get past the POE without showing evidence of hotel reservation. Remember in ur application, u said u will be lodging in a hotel.
In my case, I did 3 hotel reservations sha, she saw the 3 reservations and jus wrote down the address of the hotel I will be staying the first night. Yea, I later cancelled other bookings but still booked other hotels later.

Hello everyone..i picked up our passports today and we got the visas ! I was so nervous !. The balance on my account was about 1m and my wife's was just 100k. I also made one or two silly mistakes at the point of submission. I drafted the cover letter based on advices here and i explained the other funds that came into my account asides my salary.

All thanks to God, Justwise, Frontpagelawyer and others on this thread who provided advices. I am most grateful.

Thanks guys.. I plan to cancel booking for crystal hotel because it is too far but book another hotel for the 13 nights, i will go to the hotel on the first night and probably stay the second night also and then cancel booking for the remaining nights and move over to my friend's place. I did not mean to tell them at POE that i will be staying with friends since I had stated in my application that i will be staying in a hotel

Hello FrontPageLawyer, justwise

On the second paragraph of my cover letter I wrote about few things I was going to do in UK, do I also need to write up a planned travel itinerary? or what I wrote on the cover letter can stand for that.

Can a cover letter be extended to 2 pages and more than 4 paragraph?

Can I explain about finances on the cover letter or should do that on a separate letter?

Thanks

LadyG I salute you o! Talk true wetin u come find here? I knew you were definitely going to come here after I read on the US thread where @fourfunmi did "gbeborun" about a Ghana Agent/Pastor who'd invaded the UK thread with his usual stories.

After my findings, I fished out @Goddey1975. He's the same person as prince1930

The ECO's are professionals in their jobs. You were probably refused because of your finances.

State the context in your refusal letter
