onila: no one can ignore the Nigerian female swagger

if u like bring 100 white girls

Hmm...u would be surprised.

The day nige becomes nice and other races starts trooping in, other nationalities etc. Chei! Naija girls go hear am! Na then tables go turn!
Una go beg the guys make dem chase una!

justwise: If they have finished their course the certificate remains ok but their immigration record will still be a prob.

They can get their licence back by cleaning up their house, vet students properly, keep track of students who does not attend lectures or show up at all after they might have arrived in the UK.

Immigration record? How? Guess it would only concern them KF they intend on going back for visit. But, if they do, on what grounds will they be refuseed?

justwise: If they were not found out at that time then their certificate remains Og.

Yh meant if they had already finished their courses in the school. So it remains ok u meant to say?


Wonder what they'd have to do to get their license back.

obadiah777: i was actually born in england as are all my siblings. you cant deport a man from where he was born.

But the citizen can choose to leave the country. Travel back to see his/her relations every now and then. Especially since this citizen had his/her education elsewhere. This citizen should also send his/her kids away from UK, to have all their education elsewhere, preferably Nigeria. University education inclusive.

Don't you agree?

So what happens to the certificates of those students who weren't legit when they studied there? They can't render their certificate useless. Can they?

Chedarking: I honestly cant understand why any foreign student will want to study in the UK anyway.
You cant work afterwards here.
Your degree is less impressive cos employers back home know you must come back...
You just come here and waste your money in the name of 'foreign' education.

And untop of all that, the UKBA can decide to deport you without letting you finish your degree...for NO crime of yours!

Brethren please stay back in Nigeria or go to the US/Australia/Anywhere we can influence the price of Garr1 in the market!

What are you doing in the uk?

Study elsewhere, if its study. Try to.

U lot are funny. Surely what he did was wrong. He is in a position of government, yet bidding. Cmon, he knows its wrong, yet he did it. So, he's obviously doing what's inevitable.
Its probably part of the competitors that found out and forced him to resign or threatened to use it as blackmail.
And u all going hunky dory!

Telling you...photoshop in play here....somewhere. That plate is daamn too bright for that picture. Amongst others

[quote author=woodcook][/quote]How does BA re-route its flights to the UK (Heathrow etc)? Pls, do tell.

Love how our eastern bros just dey claim say nad dem they travel pass. Haba! So so claim sha! Wetin.

Too much claiming these days nna!

Easy oo!

The idea to make the city internationally open is a good idea too. But obviously can't be forced on the airlines, like pple said and don't think she's forcing them either.

Open Nigeria sha!

Hmm....is it me or is that number plate waaay too bright? Do I smell photoshop?

Heey! No hating by d way oo

ajaljnr: Thanks a million, I really appreciate

Would have given you the number found on their site. But since I found this here and since its been used. Figured, I give you this. Its from this thread: www.nairaland.com/331618/uk-student-visa-tier-4/138 .

honey86:

in action when you need it.

So try it if you submitted in Lagos. 012710919

Else, google "british high commission nigeria" and look for their "contact us" number.

Vicjustice: You make this analysis based on your opinions, but bear in mind that Visa Officers are trained to have suspicious attitude and to dig for any reason to refuse visa rather than reasons to approve it hence if visa applicant is 95% convincing, and 5% questionable, he would be refused the visa based on the 5% error.
I don't think the money that it would cost to apply for a new passport exceeds the cost of a failed visa application.
As a married woman who has a marriage certificate in which she signed to bear her husband's surname, her Passport with her original surname is thereby invalid. That is it.

I'm sure most approved applications haven't been 100% convincing and 0% error. Think from the lady's angle, it makes sense and its advisable to do so. But if it was the other way round, it aint as straight forward. Why? Cost, time (people could be in a hurry; have deadlines etc) etc. Most times, ECO discretion plays a pivotal role.

Vicjustice: To answer your question, the same might not apply to the husband, but common reasoning will tell us that there is no way you can get a visa if the deciding officer has some doubts about your (sponsoring) wife's surname situation
But why would any reasonable person give a Visa Officer an occasion to doubt his marital relationship, or subject his visa application to an argument about surnames?

But why also would there be any doubt when a marriage certificate would be included? Like the initial person said.
I understood her issues. Since she is in Nigeria, she is the applicant and she got married in Nigeria. I can understand why it would be a good idea to update her passport.
But I just thought, what if the exact opposite was the case. Her husband is in Nigeria, he is the applicant and they got married in Nigeria. Surely, the marriage certificate would now have to be taken abroad (assuming she has a foreign passport), just to update her passport, and sent back to the husband to include in his application. So, as the sponsor, she'd be making use of an updated passport to compliment his application.
I'm sure the visa guys would have taken this into account and cos of this, there won't be any issue regarding surnames in a scenario like this. Since it would not only take time but cost more too.
Wasn't sure, figured I ask. Just wondering really.
To conclude, I'm thinking if it was the husband that's in Nigeria, maybe (like you said) this won't be an issue (surname; passport update).

Get me?

Sure if its over 20 working days (a month) past its usual time, that's not exactly normal is it?

If its past the usual time, think I've read somewhere that you're allowed to call up and enquire about it.

I'm assuming 15 working days is the usual time. Yes?

Vicjustice: It's actually discouraging to have to pass through all that just to update your passport
Anyway, by standard requirement, your current passport is invalid due to the change of Surname; you can't apply for a visa using your (now) Maiden name as Surname; your visa application would be refused for identity reason: you are required to report your new surname to the Passport Issuing Authority for update, and to present both the old and new passports to the embassy when applying for a visa

Hmm..so what happens if its this lady's husband that wants to apply for the Nigerian Visa. And since she'd be the sponsor. Would her husband's application be at a disadvantage because her passport still has her maiden name instead of her husbands surname? If u get my msg. Curious if the law applies differently.

Hmm....
This sure has been needed for a long time. Good something is happening.

What you don't see in the pictures is the corruption that has affected the road, "majorly".

A road that's meant to be as wide as the Amuwo-Odofin connection, is soo narrow in comparison to the round about end (which leads to Cele, Isolo etc) and the Amuwo-Odofin road.

If the width was maintained throughout the length of the road....ooh my...it would have been beautiful.

But NO!

SOTAJ: i have filled the appeal form and addressed every issue that was raised in the notice of decision do. where do i send it? is it to the BHC or do i post it directly to the tribunal in uk. am confused i have 7 days to go

@Prisca1.Why don't you just reapply outrightly instead of the appeal,having done all the necessary corrections?

I could remember earlier this year, my son's visa application was refused based on some errors as a result of the way one clumpsy VFS lady handled the package. Having sent a complaint letter to the British High Commission, we just included what was requested for and reapplied straight instead of appealing, lo and behold, my son's visa came out after just above 5-6 working days.

So, I'll rather you reapply after addressing the issues raised.

My 1 cent though.

What?! So the staffs at Uk-VAC would make a mistake and the BHC would blame u for it. That's just unfair.
How did u find out the mistake was from the staffs at UK-VAC?

Can't believe you lot are just realising this. Services in ETaP hotel in the UK beats some if not most services in the expensive hotels in Nigeria! Fact!

$150 for a single room. And they're doing big boy. Plzzz....as long as big boy, big girl is going on. Price go dey like that steady for naija.

Same with them olld men too, wey dey carry Dem RU z girls. Weting una dey call Dem sef..?

What year is this?

gbadexy: These chinese people are behaving like the former soviet union.
I doubt if the chinese government and indeed the chinese people see these competitions as an ordinary event, I feel they are bent on being the strongest economy and country in the world and they are seriously competing with america in all aspects.
I can only wonder what pressure there athletes, beauty peagents , etc would be on.
China is trying to make a statement, but whatever it is they are doing back at home, it is producing good results.
Lastly, its not as if the chinese people that participated in previous olympics and beauty peagents were different from these present crops, rather it shows that a determined and disciplined leadership can make the people sit up and attain there inherent potentials in all aspects of life.

Well, the Americans tried it with the British. Obviously, didn't get to do it 100%, cos the British are still strong.
Now, its Chinas turn. Don't worry, the world won't end. I predict after it would be Russia again. By then, our grand kids would be saying exactly the same thing you're saying now.

obadiah777: let me tell you a story about someone i know. lived in england for 20 years. swore on his life that he will never ever step foot on nigerian soil again because he just didnt have a great time growing up as a teen in nigeria before he left for london ( where he was born ). so for 20 years he never step foot in nigeria. then by some mere coincidence he was invited to nigeria by a family member that he liked so much. this was 2009. when he set foot on naija soil. after 2 weeks in nigeria he decided that he hates britain and he is never going back again. he took a trip to britain, sold all his stuff and relocated to nigeria. he cant stop singing the praise of nigeria everytime i talk to him. he hates britain now. when he goes there he says after a few hours he wants to return back to naija. funny story ? LOL but true

U must hate d uk. us too? And maybe other developed countries u haven't got the chance to build a life in, yh?

deluded minds

[quote author=~Bluetooth]ofcourse I read what she wrote.She said the promoter NOT the artists refunded those who paid physical cash but now, those who paid online are asking the artists to refund them.

Isnt that an irony ?

I believe those who paid online ought to meet the promoters that refunded fans who paid physical cash cuz the money for such concert would probably be managed by the promoters.[/quote]Soz but u're kinda slow

So how do you answer that question? "What can you do for Glo?".

Curious

Haha! Sooo wanted to make a thread like this.

Loads u lot use the word "myopic". Like its some new word learnt.

buzugee: yeah they getting dumber with time though. i have noticed that. what is keeping their country afloat now is brilliant minds culled from every nation in the world while the british person sits and drinks 10 pints of beer and goes to ibiza and fights at football games. british are finished i tell ya.

That's the same thing keeping most developed countries afloat. Especially, the US. But 2bh, the British has soo many in-bred geniuses. A lot. And they celebrate them. Tim Beners-Lee etc

obasijoy: @vergil, I applied online few months ago. It was a form I filled. I studied mathematics and computer sc. that was why I choose infrastructure analyst server supporter. There were a lot of options/positions to choose. I even helped a friend to fill the form and he was also invited.

The positions were for trainees, no experience was required.

First, cheers for your reply.
Wow! Your friend too? Must have a nice way of writing or something. Just wondering why I've never been called for any of these posts in Nigeria. Soz, few more questions. Done any course...cisco stuff etc?

Would love to have a lil chat with you. Compare applications etc. Cool with u?

obasijoy: Pls house I just received my own VI from chevron for the position of INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYST SERVER SUPPORT. Please I also need the pack. Thanks obasinora@yahoo.com
