Pls has anybody used Stanbic IBTC statement of account for proof of fund, I used it and have done biometric but lately their pattern of printing statement of account is making me scared as the bank name is not categorically written a above the statement only underneath each page. Although, categorically their logo, my name, my address, branch address, customer care contacts such as 0700 - CALL-STANBIC, Cutomercare@ stanbic.com, internet: www. stanbicibtc. com are all at the top of the statement While their full name is only written underneath each page. Am just scared as one of the requirements is that the POF must contain the bank name.

Used stanbic and got the visa, that's how their statement is, fret not.

I want to go for data Science/ data analysis. Just any course that would offer me the skill set. I am graduate of Petroleum Engineering from Futo.

Thank you.

There are lots of school offering masters in Data science/Analysis, but the fastest way to get the skill set is self study; you can register for online courses on udemy ($10-$13), edx, freecodecamp (I love this cos its very practice oriented and you will get to do projects and build your github profile and its free) etc. So while you do the masters, run one of these programs or more, also learn python or R.

olaolu39:
Letter of introduction usually attached to a bank statement was not given to me by my bank. Is this a red flag or does not have any impact on visa application?

The LOI has no impact on you application. The bank statement is the important document you need. just make sure your funds stays for the required 28 days.

Shalom4life:
Sorry to ask these 2 questions again because it has been answered before. I could not find the answers given.
(1) how to get to murtala airport in lagos from ibadan ( pls dont tell me to goggle it)
(2) Easiest and safest means of getting or changing naira to pounds

1. Upon arrival in Lagos take bolt(taxify) or uber to the airport(if you dont have the app download it and link your card)

2. You can change naira to pounds(at government rate) if you have a return ticket[/b], approach your bank for PTA(personal Travel allowance). If your bank is Providus bank, even with one way ticket[b] they will give you. Finally also at the airport departure lounge, go to the travelex booth. They can also xchange for you at government rate on the day of your departure.

whitley:
Please do tier 4visa holders require BTA??

You can get PTA if you a return ticket. I heard providus gives PTA even for one way ticket. Also you can exchange pounds at bank rate from travelex at the departure lounge ( they only give on the day of your flight).

Burchester:
Wow, that a long epistle

That's the vehicle history

..

Burchester:
1.4m?

Brov let me give you a brief history of this car you intend to buy, it was service strictly in Germaine autos till when the warranty expired in 2018 , all the service records are available so you know and see the history of the car. it has never been out of Lagos save for Oct 2018 when I took it to ibadan.. From my office to my house is smooth/interlocked road which is it's daily route, save for the occasional detour to a friend's or event which might have bad roads, so I have only change the shocks,steering rack once, the steering has steering cover to cover the wear, drove the car for 2 years without a horn when it stopped working in the madness of Lagos commute(to tell how patient a driver I am). I only changed the horn recently when my wife insisted as she couldn't cope when drives it occasionally. It has little little scratches here(if you look closely) but asides that the body is in tip top shape.i have changed the noozle once and cleaned the tank once, . Trust me when I say this car is a steal.

Sorry for the epistle, just wanted you have an insight on what you intend to purchase.

Jaygibson:
Terrible. It's a situation where those that want to do walk-in are more than those that have regular appointment, so those staff at the gate said they're no longer accepting walk-in for now, even from those that came for walk-in since Friday sef. You can try your luck tho, but I just left there now and it's terrible. Should have picked VI.

Tried to avoid a scenario like this that's why I picked vi(especially as the year is winding down). Anyway the most important thing at the end of the day is approval after the long wait. It will all end in praise.

pastorsmiling:
1.2 sir

(N.B: Issues loading more Pictures, still trying)

Adurami040517:

Congrats..when are you leaving? this year or next?

PMID:
My Sch agent who processed my admission is opting to make my visa application, but I would have loved to do it myself so I can have the experience incase I want to apply for my wife. On the other hand I wish to avoid the stress of making the application myself.

What do u people think? Should I allow the agent make my visa application for me?

Dear Sir/Ma..I would strongly advise against the school agent application route..You had be surprised at the nonsense a supposed school agent can fill your application. Its best you fill your application yourself despite the stress.

bayrash:
OH my God!!! I need a swap. I have appointment on 20th January.. But an earlier date is desirable.. Am January intake o.. God have mercy o

Someone had stated earlier that you can get closer dates if you go to IOM on isaac john str with your admission letter for January intake (at least for Lagos, you could also try same if abuja is your location). No harm in trying.

Adurami040517:
Congratulations bro

thanks a bunch, whats the update on yours?

Mumsytwinny:
You are dropping your mobile number here?
Don't be surprised if they start sending you messages that you have won a lottery.

LMAO

Liljumy:
Good morning house. I'm in bit of dilemma here. Would appreciate your opinions.

I have offers for two courses:
Social works
Artificial intelligence with Data science.

They are both desirable courses with similar fees for my schools of choice.
The issue is I dont know which to choose considering that they are both very productive and promising courses.

Kindly note that I like both courses.
In your opinion, which do you think is a better option in terms of job placement, future career etc?

Thank you.

whats your background/work experience? With regards to the current pandemic, I want to believe that AI with DS would have more global relevance if you possess the practical skills.

Its funny how despite the fact that one is pretty sure that your application is solid and would come through, a part of you cant help but worry till you pick up the actual visa.

The next phase of worry is about to set in now: accomodation over there, bargain ticket, packing e.t.c

Am headed to Leeds Beckett, Had 1 US and 1 Uk denial declared.

Thanks @mimilyrics, @Lagosismyhome, @sandradee and everybody that has made this place a wealth of information and made all our application process seamless. May God bless una.

CaptainNipples:
You did biometrics on Nov 25 right?

I noticed a trend recently, some people get collection mail a week (plus or minus) after decision mail.its not sacrosanct
