Hello everyone, I asked this question earlier and I got a response: An internship with no offer letter, someone responded I get a reference letter. However, the company has folded. How do I explain this gap in my visa application?

Emerald138:
By using your CV and a reference letter from the company

Thank you

Hello everyone, I need your advice please. Right after nysc and a seven month job, I did an internship between May 2013 to January 2014. I was not given any offer letter for this internship. Subsequent jobs thereafter including the one immediately after nysc I have their letters. Please how do I explain or justify this gap for my visa process. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am just joining this thread. I have gone through all the posts and I have learnt quite a few things. My school fees deposit is to be paid on Monday and I have a few questions.

3. Is a blank NSF mail good or bad?
4. I have two months for PoF and Visa, I can still meet up for September right?
5. Ikeja and VI what are differences in the centers?

Finally!!!!!!!!!!

Rubbish! They are about to release a new single, always using their beef to sell songs

after she posts she disable comments shiorr, why are you afraid of the backlash, why are you trying so hard to tell the world he is with you...

“The Pastor persuaded her to return in November 2016, after intervening in the quarrel. She became pregnant immediately.

Pastor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he bleaching or too much airbrush, remove that stool too!

Planning a wedding could be one of the biggest projects one can embark on. You may think you have everything covered but there are a few that will just slip past your outlined budget leaving you to make last minute unplanned costs.

1. Outfits for pre wedding events

You will not see this coming until you start gushing out money for outfits for your pre wedding photo shoots, court wedding attires, traditional wedding even outfits for hen nights!

2. Undergarments and Accessories

Sparkling white bustiers. Girdles. Bracelets. Hairpins. New pair of briefs or boxers. These just slips under the radar until its almost too late thereby incurring expenses you never planned for.

3. Hair and Makeup trials

You want to get a flash makeover to see if your makeup artist is as good as she claims? Be prepared.

4. Extra Alterations

The bridal gown you ordered is a size bigger or the bust is too wide? The wedding suit pants is wide enough to fit a head. Tailors love situations like this. A quick way to get a few thousands out of you.

5. Audio at the ceremony

Whose responsibility is it anyway? Very crucial aspect or it will have you running around at the last minute.

6. Lighting and Generators

Don't think the interior decorator, the d-jay or the EMCEE is going to do this for you. Don't reply too much on hall management owners to have this side covered. Don't be caught unawares.

7. Feeding the vendors

Oh you didn't budget the live band members food? Hungry singers will sound croaky.

8. Tips and gratuities

No matter how detailed you think you are, this you don't just plan for. A traffic officer who has helped control vehicular movement around your venue. *coughs*

9. Sales tax and service charges

In little ways VAT and service charges can deplete your resources. You don't plan for them. They are right there waiting for you.

10. Overtime Costs

The generator is to be returned at 6. Your guests are still dancing by 7.pm. Want extra hours from the live band? Overtime costs are not always planned.

11. Delivery, Set up and breakdown fees

Logistics of getting and moving items, setting up of equipment is not free.

12. A hotel room

Oh well you can plan for this if you are smart. Many though have been caught unaware of this detail.

13. Breakfast and lunch for the wedding party

No breakfast for the girls that stayed with you all through your final night as a miss? Your boys have been with you all through your long church wedding ceremony and food is finished??

14. Gifts for your parents

Just face it. You will not plan for this. Is it really necessary? You be the judge you ungrateful child.

15. Unexpected & uninvited guests

My wedding will be strictly by invitation! Okay. Next...

16. Completely unpredictable stuff

Don't look at me. These things happen.

17. Wait...what about you?

You can forget yourself in the head count. It happens.

In New York City, Malcolm X, an African American nationalist and religious leader, is assassinated by rival Black Muslims while addressing his Organization of Afro-American Unity at the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights.

Born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925, Malcolm was the son of James Earl Little, a Baptist preacher who advocated the black nationalist ideals of Marcus Garvey. Threats from the Ku Klux Klan forced the family to move to Lansing, Michigan, where his father continued to preach his controversial sermons despite continuing threats. In 1931, Malcolm’s father was brutally murdered by the white supremacist Black Legion, and Michigan authorities refused to prosecute those responsible. In 1937, Malcolm was taken from his family by welfare caseworkers. By the time he reached high school age, he had dropped out of school and moved to Boston, where he became increasingly involved in criminal activities.

In 1946, at the age of 21, Malcolm was sent to prison on a burglary conviction. It was there he encountered the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam, whose members are popularly known as Black Muslims. The Nation of Islam advocated black nationalism and racial separatism and condemned Americans of European descent as immoral “devils.” Muhammad’s teachings had a strong effect on Malcolm, who entered into an intense program of self-education and took the last name “X” to symbolize his stolen African identity.

After six years, Malcolm was released from prison and became a loyal and effective minister of the Nation of Islam in Harlem, New York. In contrast with civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X advocated self-defense and the liberation of African Americans “by any means necessary.” A fiery orator, Malcolm was admired by the African American community in New York and around the country.

In the early 1960s, he began to develop a more outspoken philosophy than that of Elijah Muhammad, whom he felt did not sufficiently support the civil rights movement. In late 1963, Malcolm’s suggestion that President John F. Kennedy’s assassination was a matter of the “chickens coming home to roost” provided Elijah Muhammad, who believed that Malcolm had become too powerful, with a convenient opportunity to suspend him from the Nation of Islam.

A few months later, Malcolm formally left the organization and made a Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, where he was profoundly affected by the lack of racial discord among orthodox Muslims. He returned to America as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz and in June 1964 founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity, which advocated black identity and held that racism, not the white race, was the greatest foe of the African American. Malcolm’s new movement steadily gained followers, and his more moderate philosophy became increasingly influential in the civil rights movement, especially among the leaders of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.

On February 21, 1965, one week after his home was firebombed, Malcolm X was shot to death by Nation of Islam members while speaking at a rally of his organization in New York City.

the worst prison to be is the one in aba...

On February 14 around the year 278 A.D., Valentine, a holy priest in Rome in the days of Emperor Claudius II, was executed.

Under the rule of Claudius the Cruel, Rome was involved in many unpopular and bloody campaigns. The emperor had to maintain a strong army, but was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. Claudius believed that Roman men were unwilling to join the army because of their strong attachment to their wives and families.

To get rid of the problem, Claudius banned all marriages and engagements in Rome. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.

When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Valentine was arrested and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. The sentence was carried out on February 14, on or about the year 270.

Legend also has it that while in jail, St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer’s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it “From Your Valentine.”

For his great service, Valentine was named a saint after his death.

In truth, the exact origins and identity of St. Valentine are unclear. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “At least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs, are mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of 14 February.” One was a priest in Rome, the second one was a bishop of Interamna (now Terni, Italy) and the third St. Valentine was a martyr in the Roman province of Africa.

Legends vary on how the martyr’s name became connected with romance. The date of his death may have become mingled with the Feast of Lupercalia, a pagan festival of love. On these occasions, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius decided to put an end to the Feast of Lupercalia, and he declared that February 14 be celebrated as St Valentine’s Day.

Gradually, February 14 became a date for exchanging love messages, poems and simple gifts such as flowers.

British couple jailed for keeping Nigerian as slave for 24 years


LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A British couple have been jailed for six years each for keeping a Nigerian immigrant as a slave for more than two decades, a London court clerk said.

Emmanuel Edet, 61, and Antan Edet, 58, were sentenced at Harrow Crown Court in northwest London late on Monday after being found guilty last month of child cruelty, slavery and assisting in illegal immigration.

The couple brought the man to Britain in 1989 when he was 14 years old, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

They told the teenager they would educate and pay him, but they forced him to work long hours for no pay and threatened him with deportation if he tried to escape, prosecutors said.

He received no education and had only very limited contact with his family and the outside world. The couple took his passport, and he had no identity documents, prosecutors said.

The victim, now 40, was forced to cook, clean, garden and care for the couple's children without any pay for up to 17 hours a day, they said. He had to eat alone and typically slept on the floor of the hall, they said.

Prosecutor Damaris Lakin said the Edets told their captive he would be arrested as an illegal immigrant and deported if he left the house and contacted police.

"He believed this and felt trapped and completely dependent on the Edets," Lakin said in a statement. "Emanuel and Antan Edet have cruelly robbed this victim of 24 years of his life. They have treated him with complete contempt."

"This was a shocking case of modern day slavery," he said.

Prosecutors said the Edets had changed the victim's name and added him to their family passport as their son when they brought him into Britain.

finally giving back

I remember writing my final year school project on this great man. My research on his life, works and career took me to places I had never been before and met people that this man touched their lives. Kenneth Dike is an unsung hero...

Born in Awka, eastern Nigeria, Kenneth Onwuka Dike was educated in West Africa, England and Scotland. He attended Fourah Bay College, Sierra Leone and also Durham University, the University of Aberdeen, and King's College London. During the 1960s, as a member of the University of Ibadan's history department, he played a pioneering role in promoting African leadership of scholarly works published on Africa. As the head of the organizing committee of the First International Congress of Africanists in Ghana in 1963, he sought for a strengthened meticulous non-colonial focused African research, publication of research in various languages including indigenous and foreign, so as to introduce native speakers to history and for people to view African history through a common eye. In 1965 he was elected chairman of the Association of Commonwealth Universities.


His resignation as Ibadan's vice-chancellor came in December 1966, at the beginning of the Nigerian civil war. As an Ibo and an Easterner, his role as a head university administrator in Western Nigeria became untenable. A long struggle to keep his position was lost to a Yoruba opponent, and Dike made the critical decision at that point to opt for "a new life in an independent Eastern state" (John de St. Jorre). Dike joined fellow Ibo people in Eastern Nigeria who were seeking secession and to form a separate nation. This new nation was to be called Biafra, named for the Bight of Biafra at the mouth of the Niger river. The name of this body of water separating the eastern and western parts of Nigeria has since been erased from maps of the reunified nation.

From Ibadan Dike, as a former vice-chancellor, went home to become Biafra's roving ambassador. He acted in this capacity from 1967 to 1970, travelling extensively and speaking out on behalf of the Biafran position in the civil conflict. In 1969 he appeared in the United States before the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. His remarks during this visit were quoted widely in aWashington Post article entitled "Biafra explains its case" (April 13, 1969). Dike proved to be one of Biafra's top emissaries. He was a visible and important component in negotiations at various stages throughout the conflict. His voice rang out loudly pleading for Biafran recognition. During the war years he held a new post as vice-chancellor at Nsukka University in Biafran territory. Nsukka was known for hosting a core group of "international stars of the Ibo elite" referred to as an "Nsukka secessionist group" (de St. Jorre).

By 1968 Dike's position with regard to Biafra had become unshakable. Prior to that time Eastern Nigerian attempts to achieve a loose confederation with the West had his support. These overtures, however, had been rebuffed by the West. As a result, Dike felt that "after so much sacrifice we are not prepared to go back…." Biafra's eventual and necessary unconditional surrender was certainly a blow to this determined intellectual. Still, during the final days of the secession effort he served as Biafra's representative at cease-fire negotiations in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
During the postwar years, in the 1970s, Dike went into exile and took up an academic position at Harvard University in the United States. At Harvard from 1971 to 1973 he was chair of the Committee on African Studies. Then in 1973 he was appointed the first Mellon Professor of African History at Harvard. He continued to teach there until 1978, when he found it possible to return to Nigeria.

Back in Nigeria he again went into administrative work, this time as president of Anambra State University. Anambra is located in Enugu in the Eastern part of the reunited nation northeast of his birthplace, Awka. Dike was accompanied by his wife Ona when he returned to Nigeria. Dike died in an Enugu hospital on October 26, 1983, at the age of 65. At the time of his death, one daughter, Nneka, and one son, Emeka, lived in Nigeria's capital city, Lagos, on the Western coast. Three other children (two daughters, Chinwe and Ona, and one son, Obi) remained in the United States, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
