mun0513: Hope this message finds you in good health,

Thank you for your response. Really appreciate it.

1a) It is the level of qualification of English Language Test i.e. IELTS, Pearson etc. For my case it is IELTS.

You can also find this field in Appendix 8 form under English Language Section.

3) Thank you for the clarification. I just wanted to confirm whether there won't be any issue when the 28 day statement printed shows more amount and current balance is less in real after paying the visa fee while it is in process and UKVI might check for confirmation with bank.

Kind Regards and Best Wishes

1a: Level of qualification is the overall band/score

3: As far as the amount doesn't go below the required amount, then you have no problem.

Chaze85: Really,oh thank u,I'm just scared of my fund cos i thought it's not enuf,thank u,it really worried me a lot,I'm evn thinking of taling a risk out of it

You're welcome.

The 3 conclusive questions i asked, are they right?

Itstyme: @ justwise, in respect to the above i want to believe withdrawing and depositing of funds during the 28days waiting period has no negative effect on the account as long as the balance never goes below the required maintenance money or expected money in the acct.

Yes

Chaze85: Thank u,dats bad for me,and my course start on sept 8

You're confusing people with your case as you ask the same question every time in different ways.
Now validate these:

1. Your total school fees plus fund is £19470, right?

2. You paid a total of £1990 for school fees, and £240 for accommodation, right?

Therefore you needed to show £17,240

3. You paid in 5m 20k into your account on the 4th of July right?
As of today, that amounts to £18,455.2

Therefore you have more than enough to show.
It doesn't matter if you keep depositing and withdrawing from your account within this period as far as the total money doesn't get below the required funds.

We have told you several times to print your statement of account from 4th/5th July to 4th August but you keep repeating this same question and confusing everyone.

Print your statement as you have been told, print the oanda printout of the day you paid your visa application.
As far as you met all requirements, you have nothing to fear

mun0513: @Justwise and other gurus

Hope this message finds you in good health,

You all are doing a great job by helping out fellow members regarding their visa application.

I would really appreciate if you can help out with my Tier 4 application.

1) I have given IELTS Test for Postgraduate Course (NQF Level 7) which is stated in my CAS along with scores. What should I write for the fields:
a) Level of Qualification. (is it CEFR Level B2?)
b) Award Date. (is it the test date or the result date mentioned on IELTS Certificate)?

2) Online application form contains a mandatory field 'Place of Issue' which is not stated in my Passport. Is it fine that i have written 'UNSTATED IN PASSPORT'?

3) It would be really nice of you if you can read out my situation and advise me whether I am doing fine or not:

I have deposited the required funds in my account on 7th July and have started counting it from 8th July therefore the 28 day period will end on 4th August. I am planning to get a Bank Letter tomorrow which would state the amount and 28 days period. Once I have received the bank letter I will submit the online application form and pay application fee through debit card from the same account in which i am evidencing my funds. This is because its my old, primary and only bank account.[

Once the transaction is deducted from the funds, Next day I will go to the bank again and get monthly bank statement showing the transaction of my last deposit which completed the required funds and online application fee to UKVI.

After that i will submit both the documents for visa process. Is it fine? Won't there be any problem that my minimum balance for 28 days stated on bank letter will be different than that of monthly statement after deducting visa application fee. Rest assured the amount is more than enough to cover minimum funds required, exchange rate and online application fee of 310 pounds.

Your support and advise would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regard and Best Wishes

1a: What level of qualification are they asking you for? Is it for the course you're going to study or for the English exam?

1b: The award date is the date you got the qualification been asked

2: Place of issue is the same as issuing authority

You do not need a monthly statement. Just print the 28 days statement and pay your VISA fee. Then submit the same 28days statement you printed. No need for another statement

milychocs: Hello house
I woke up today to see that "your application has been approved and your visa issued"

Thanks everyone especially @justwise and @ spikeC
For your 100% and more counsel

Timeline- Abuja...TB test Mon(21 July)....visa application/submission etc Tue(22 July)......visa approval this am
Goodluck to everyone

Congrats dear

chai, person dey sell cement on top war thread.

Errrmmm, this thread needs to refocus.
This thread is not about North vs south east, but about alliances if war broke out.

Also, like i said before, North and SE can never engage a war front without MB decision.

And as i said before, again, there would never be war just between North and SE. Torkaka, you need to factor interests. North and SE can never engage each other without external alliances.

If North subjugates SE, other regions will easily fall to them. And no one would want another hitler take over

Also, someone asked this question before, why do ya'll think that North will engage the SE and SS if the whole country devides regionally?

sashacoleman: Your own is even better, this is what I was told

Abeg tell me, where am I suppose to start from?

AkinEgba: The entry of islamic militants from the Arab world would be the game-changer. But I believe they can be stopped from massively entering the ''country'' by the international powers that be (you name them).

The super powers are here to sell weapons. The longer the war, the more sales they make

damsamty16: House please help me thank God ooo my visa has been granted! I submitted my application on July 21 and I picked my visa today july31 and departure date is this saturday.Though it's a group application but I give thanks to God because if to judge on my statement of acct of 400k,am not worthy but God did it.I also want to use this great opportunity to appreciate the greatest professor of our time on this thread,prof justwise and vicjustice....God bless u ooo and more grease to ur elbow

By fire by force, you must answer professor

IdomaLikita: Torkaka, you talk like a Naïve Person!
The SE is about the most Fortified Part of the Country Today!
You find Concrete Storey Buildings and Bunkers from Cities to Villages! Excellent Hiding Place for Snipers!
An Artillery Barrage is unlikely because Batteries have to be set up in MB Territory to achieve effective Range! Where and How will they get that Foothold?
The Sheer Economic Prowess of the East and Coastal Access means they can prosecute the War for as long as they want and unlike during the Civil War, they will take full possession of the Navy this time around, ensuring unhindered maritime Traffic!
The Organized Society in the S.E would also Prevent Chaos which would be a Common factor in the North and MB!
The 1st Side to get weary would be the North as most Productive Young Men would be in the Front instead of their Farms, and the Capacity of the Nigerian and Chadian Govts to keep Supplying Food and other Logistics to the Northern Hordes would be strained! They have Problems of their own, remember?

Air Raids by the North would be Unlikely due to its expensive cost and massive Anti-aircraft defence!

You're missing a vital variable in 21st century warfare.
International support.

Trust me, this war is going to be awful if it ever happens. We're looking at religious conflicts here.
Massive weapon sales. Islamic extremists versus superpowers.
One side who likes to fight, and the other who wants to sell weapons.

The Arab and Muslim extremists should never be ruled out. Look at what is happening in Syria and other middle east countries. Rebels from far away countries just come and join the fight.

That is what is going to happen in Nigeria if care is not taken. The war needs to end as soon as it starts, else we risk unending rivalry between the super powers and the extremists, ALL IN OUR LAND.

EasternLeopard: All what the East need to counter your missile attacks is to build anti-missile defence system.

And the East has the Technological know how to build such.

I don't think we do
Procurement is the best viable option.

But the guy do not know what he's talking about though.
There will never be an invasion in the east because the east will also proceed further when MB falls.
No one would want his land to be the battlefield

Also, there is absolutely no long range missile that will be proficient to damage the whole east from kogi
He thinks land mass is as little as specified on a paper map

kmariko: but it still does not tell us who will be ones fighting whom over all those things you enumerated....E.G... If the Yorubas feel cheated who will they direct their fight against, so goes with other ethnic groups...

Thank you. This bring about my first point on this thread.

The dissolution of Nigeria will mostly be peaceful if the Yorubas are first to seek emancipation.

If their is war, it will be between Nigeria and the region that wants to secede.
But if all regions follow suite, there will be relatively no war.

Another point is, forceful take over of a minority where the major tribes and regions are separated.


Now check this out, if the Niger delta seeks emancipation first, what do you think will happen?
The political elites would not allow them, therefore what happened in the civil war, forceful marriage, will repeat itself again.

But if they do, and South East follows suite, and any other region follows suite, then, there will be no war
The dissolution will therefore be termed peaceful

AkinEgba: Even in peace times the Itsekiris and Ijaws have been at war and the Urhobos and Itsekiris have also done the same. These are not communal but tribal clashes

So, any attempt by Igbo or Yoruba to take over other minorities' land FORCEFULLY (REPEAT FORCEFULLY) would lead to serious guerrilla things.

If the war will be truly about emancipation and peace, no one will try to do a forceful take over

IdomaLikita: OP, God Bless You!
Since 2011, I have spent at least 30mins of every single Day thinking about this eventuality!
The MB will suffer Tremendously irrespective of any action she takes!
1st, the War will assume a Religious Dimension and the Persecution of Christian Minorities all over the Core-North will Lead to a Southward Migration of Huge Numbers of People leading to a Massive Humanitarian Crisis in so-called Safe Heavens like Benue, Kogi,Nassarawa,and Southern Taraba!
The Sheer Responsibility of Catering to these New Arrivals will surely Cripple whatever Coalition Government that may be in charge then(a good number of Middle beltan Elites would fly abroad and leave their people to their fate)!
2ndly, I expect the East to quickly shut its Border and concentrate its forces there(having learnt few lessons from the Civil War regarding "Father Christmas"! The west may or may not follow suit!
Then there'll be a Lull, with Negotiations going on and Humanitarian Corridors being negotiated, all the while, Starvation and Disease would be ravaging my people!
Lastly, the North would be expected to go on Full Offensive. Feeble Attempts would be made by the MB to resist! But in-fighting, lack of trust amongst the numerous tribes and greed for power will work to the North's advantage!
The East may only offer economic assistance and maybe, just maybe send some Weapons across, to ensure an effective Buffer zone between herself and the North!
The only Option left to the MB is to get weapons through the Camerounian Border, which will also teem with Refugees or a UN intervention (which ALWAYS comes when half the Population have been decimated)!

Either way, the Consequences would be Catastrophic for me people!

Kosovo, Darfur, Kashmir, etc come to mind!

God Help Us All.

Some of these are not possible. Any region that neglects the MB is doing it at there own detriment.

Infact, the alliance of the MB will be the most important decision in separating the country and fighting any war, if it so has to be.
Yes, the MB will mostly be the point-ground of warfare, but it's alliance will decide how destructive their land will get.

They need to do their calculation very very well. Their alliance will have to be, permit me to say "the winner".
So that they can advance further to the opposition territory as soon as possible.

This also brings us to the aftermath of the war. The MB will need to be developed rapidly to prevent any future thought of marginalization by their ally, which would lead everyone back to square one aka tribal clashes.

Realdeals: Security I guess that is the responsibity of the goverment, but if you meant the land security, I want to assure you it's very secure.

Ofcourse, they are

But am talking about tribal insecurity.
Villagers wahala. Side settlements they'll have to force you to do.

Infact, you know what am talking about. So, what can you guarantee? What's your opinion about probable land disputes in the area?
My option is to get a few acres, and build a mini fence around it till when development kicks off

AkinEgba: Depending on how Igbo and Yoruba play their respective games in the south, there could also be guerrilla activities in the south from the minorities.

Never gonna happen. Who and who is gonna engage in such conflict?
I see more of communal clashes than tribal.

kettykin: This reminds me of the permuttations made before the first Civil war how some people on their drawing board analysed and concluded that Ojukwu would be captured within 48 Hours using Police Action only while in actual fact it took more than 30 gruel months and very heavy military casualties for the Federal Army despite their international backing and heavy civilian casualties for the Biafran Army as a result of the sabotage of farm lands, much lessons about the war still can count in the present permuttations.

First any war to break out would not rule out allignments and counter allignments.
While i expect the South East and South South to naturally form a super allignment that could be backed by the NATO/US/Europe and the North West and borno/Yobe to form nother super allignement that will be backed majorly by the Arabs, Russia much can not be said about the yourbas and their Edo allies who might prefer to remain neutral initially and try to join the winning side eventually.


I also believe with facts on the ground that the middle belt will likely be the next theatre of war with Kogi, Abuja, Kaduna, Nassarawa as major centres of conflict while Benue, Plateau, Taraba will back the eastern allies while bauchi , parts of Gombe, parts of Adamawa, Niger will join the core north

Why do you believe that Russia will back North West and borno/Yobe alignment?
The super powers would be here to make sales, but i don't see a possible funding of the north going from the Arabs pocket to the Russians.

Though i see major arm deals going to USA and Israel. China and Russia won't make much sales

kmariko: @Op please can you explain to naivettees like me how BOKO HARAM activity will lead to declaration of
War. And how will this be done or carried out

Only Bokoharam activities cannot lead to a declaration of war. Bokoharam is just a tool in the bigger atrocities been committed in Nigeria as a whole.

Here we're talking of tribalism, religious fanaticism, political warfare, marginalization.
That moment when people feel they are been cheated.
When they feel they deserve more.
When they feel that their rights can and will not be giving to them.
When they feel that it is high time they decide on their destiny

All these are naturally what leads to war.

We're not praying for war, but we need to make hay while the sun shines.
If you do not checkmate history, it will repeat itself

AkinEgba: But when the war is won and lost there will be guerrilla warfare all over the place. Read my first post on page 1.

That, is when border security experience comes in.
Now, the people at such risk are the middle belt. They will need to develop their border security to world class.
We're talking about giving away heavily mined hectares of land as border between them and the north. Military barracks placed at key points

They certainly don't want to live their lives like the Isrealites, but sadly, that might be what's gonna happen

Nnewi1stSon: The north wont be sending an army, but would use guerrilla tactics like they've doing in Jos, and recently Kaduna,Benue etcetera... So tell me how do you fight an enemy you cant see? It will take more than a Miracle to save Northern Minorities. From Kebbi to Gombe,Bauchi,Kaduna, Taraba,Plateau and Nassarawa. The north wont part with one inch of land and wouldnt hesitate to commit genocide just to keep it.

This is war, not insurgency. You can't use guerrilla tactics during war because you have to keep the enemy out and protect your border at all times. Else, you risk a massive invasion

Sloan: ... I wonder why SpikeC is saying Yorubas are the ones that can break the country up, and I ask why? ...

spikesC: If the Niger Deltans initiate it, it might go awry as the elites would try to bring them back because of their oil.
For me, the Yorubas are in a better position to break the country in a peaceful way.
But then, we'll have to wait for eternity

Read, understand, then comment

Else ask questions objectively

What of security? Especially for foreigners.
The country is degenerating you know.

Energito11: 1= If given a chance idoma and igala will align with Igbos due to their close culture but the problem is that,many of us still regard them as hausa.
2nd= Nigeria can break up without war bcus everybody is tired of this con3 even the North,what we need is who will take the lead,we igbos cant take the lead not because of past war but because of our investments in other regions.
Yroubas cant take the lead becus they are afraid of past war which i know that can will not happen if they want to break up.the only people that will break up these con3 is Niger Deltans and if them do others will follow.

If the Niger Deltans initiate it, it might go awry as the elites would try to bring them back because of their oil.
For me, the Yorubas are in a better position to break the country in a peaceful way.
But then, we'll have to wait for eternity

agates: Hi everyone. Just got an email that my Visa has been issued. Thanks to u guys. @ justwise u re a selfless being. God bless you.

congrats

constance234: In your CAS was it stated you should submit your waec certificate to show Enlish proficiency?
because if i need to show the ECO this then there may be an issue...what do you think

No, it was not stated.
If you're to submit it, just get an affidavit, it always works

constance234: I have the original its since,but issue now is i have a mistake on my surname spelling,an alphabet is missed,will this be a problem or i can just attach a sworn affidavit and also a Neco scratch card so the can check online.thanks

Don't worry about the affidavit now. Just scan the doc and send to the school and notify them about the mistake in the email.
If they add the doc in your cas, which they won't even do, then you can get an affidavit and submit with your visa application.

Also, you don't need to add a neco scratch card.

constance234: @spikesC
i have received a reply from the uni,
Thank you for your email,
Can you please scan and email a copy for your NECO, we will need to check this before we can confirm this will be okay to use.

Kind regards

i guess they will allow me use this waiting for the final confirmation,i really want to save my 35k

That's good. Do you have the original NECO certificate or just the printout?

Itstyme: Hmm! I can imagine how u feel but I want to believe it will be out in no time. I don't know if they still call applicants via the phone. Were u called at all after the interview? They used to do this years back

They might still be doing it, but i wasn't contacted.

sashacoleman: ...

Hi sasha, when you went to Teleperformance what did they say?
Did you also contact Sheffield with the email i gave you? Any reply?
