 Travel › Re: Help Please by Vicjustice: 11:13am On Mar 08, 2009 |
You're going home to see your sick mother? She'd definitely need some money to settle some bills. But, how can you help the sick woman when you can't afford your own ticket money? Except she's in a terminal condition otherwise, i suppose your priority should be asking for help regarding her own treatment expenditures, not for your ticket to see her when you can offer no help. But why have you resorted to coming to the net to request assistant, don't you have friends or a Nigerian comunity in Spain? If you can't find help from those (people in Spain) who know you in person, i wonder how you can find help from those on-line who don't know you at all. Sorry, i don't mean to be mean, i like helping if i can, but i'd rather not be fooled. |

http://www.tribune.com.ng/23022009/thr/nigerians.html Alhaji Hamidu Ajibade, father of the slain Nigerian, is a well-known businessman of Ibadan extraction. He owns a sprawling business complex in Agodi Gate area of the third largest city in Africa. Late Shefiu left the shores of Nigeria in search of the proverbial golden fleece, but least suspected that death had laid a snare for him in Ukraine, reports Qudirat Akeem-Apampa. ON Sunday 18th January, 2009, Shefiu SaTribune Lawudeen, a Nigerian was stabbed in the neck to death in Lviv, Ukraine around 8pm while waiting at a bus stop to board a bus. Shefiu SaTribune Lawudeen was born in Kano, Kano State, about 30 years ago and had part of his education in Nigeria, before he moved to Ukraine in 2001 to actualise his ambition in professional football. Hard working and ambitious Shefiu got married to a Ukrainean, who had a four-year-old son for him. Shefiu was stabbed to death by some unknown persons and had since being buried according to Islamic rites by some of his friends and fellow Nigerians. As a result of the gruesome murder of Shefiu, some of his friends are planning a peaceful rally by all Nigerians home and abroad to protest the killing of this young man who resided Tribune Lawfully in Ukraine, survived by parents, siblings, wife, a child and friends. Shefiu Ajibade is the son of a politician, an Ibadan businessman based in Kano city, Kano State and the Agbaakin Olubadan of Ibadanland. According to his father, Alhaji Hamidu Ajibade, “Shefiu is a complete gentleman who does not drink, smoke or even womanise at all. Chief Ojo Maduekwe, Foreign Affairs MinisterHe said “it was so painful that the Nigerian embassy in Ukraine disappointed me because they did not show concern in the burial and subsequent steps taken by the students and other youths in the country.” According to him, it was only the in-Tribune Laws of the deceased and his friends that made arrangements for the burial after they had sought permission to bury him. The killing of SaTribune Lawudeen is just one of the killings and brutalisations being exprienced by Nigerians and blacks in general, despite the fact that they are living legally in the country. According to some friends of the deceased, 24 hours after the incident, the representatives of Nigeria in Kiev, Ukraine, are still contemplating on what to do and “ignoring calls from Nigerian citizens here, as they are constrained by bureaucracy protocol.” Investigations, however, reveal that mid 2008, a Nigerian girl was also killed in Kharkiv , Ukraine. Even in the country’s capital, a staff of the Nigerian Consulate was attacked in 2008 by Ukrainians, but was very lucky to have escaped being killed. Also, a Nigerian was killed in China towards the end of last year for yet-to-be-established reasons. This is just a few of the killings and senseless attacks on not only Nigerians but the blacks in general. Yet, the Nigerian government is doing just little or nothing to shield, her citizens around the world against mind-boggling issues of this nature. Nigerians are indeed tired of being treated inhumanely. Enough of these beastly treatm-ents and unwarranted brutalities! Nigerians reject being treated like underdogs all over the world. Nigerians from now onwards, must make non-Nigerians do one of two things, respect us or fear the consequences of a show of disrespect. Thankfully, some Nigerians do not have those constraints and, are speaking out they we want the world to know that a Nigerian’s life was illegally and violently ended in Ukraine. Hon. Abike Dabiri. “By Tribune Law we cannot engage the system here and the police are requesting the presence of our embassy.” protection and preservation of Nigerian citizens is the primary duty of the government of Nigeria, and by extension, Nigerian diplomats worldwide. This duty is sacrosanct. All Nigerians, diplomats, entire hierarchy and levels of government in Nigeria must ensure that the killers of any Nigerian do not go unpunished. Because countries like United States of America and so many others would not tolerate this brazen act on their citizens. Nigerians and Nigeria must take a firmer stand regarding the sanctity of the lives of Nigerian citizens. The Nigerian government, according to them, should try as much as possible to ensure they do something fast about the killers and the indiscriminate killings of Nigerians in diaspora. Investigations, however, have it that the National Assembly has taken the case up, and that Mrs. Abike Dabiri had raised the matter on the floor of the House, describing it as an issue of national importance that requires urgent attention. She expressed concern about the carefree attitude of the Nigerian Envoys to Ukraine, adding that they did not show concern and even could not provide the 500 Dollars needed for the burial of the late Shefiu. This according to her “is a total act of irresponsibility on the side of the envoys, adding that every Nigerian in any country of the world is the responsibility of the government representative in that country, especially a responsible citizen like Shefiudeen”. She stated that two Nigerians have been imprisoned in Ukraine unjustly and the Consular could not find time to investigate their cases and take it up appropriately. Mrs. Dabiri explained that “it was when we took up the issue to investigate the killing of a Nigerian in China that the killers were brought to book, with justice done and compensation paid. We are not actually after the money, but for justice to prevail and for such occurrence not to repeat itself. Envoys are not just assigned in any country to host their visiting president or important personalities, but to care for the citizens of their country in their countries of primary assignments.” Additional reports by Sahawa reporters, New York http://www.tribune.com.ng/23022009/thr/nigerians.html |

Akolawole:Honourable, i Salute you! Akolawole:You just said my mind. You see, homosexual is not something commonly practiced in Nigeria, so, it might be hard for the subject to get through all these especially as there are other complications. You won't be surprised that this is the first case of its kind to an ECO in Nigeria who will likely use the native law, custom, tradition and culture to assess the civil partnership situation. Now, imagine what the outcome would be if the ECO has grudges against gay people, or is not satisfied that a Nigerian can genuinly declare being a gay. Anyway, goodluck |

phuket:I know someone who had a similar case regarding his birth year discrepancy; he supported his claim with an Age-Declaration document and it was rectified for good. You can do the same, go to your local affidavits court for an authentic age declaration, trust me, it will be acceptable. As for the refusal stamp that was overlapped, i really don't have an advice for that because i can't see the extent of the damage. However, you can assess it yourself and judge. . . And sure, your travel history will give you some credibility and that would encourage your chance. Therefore, you're adviced to attach your previous passport of which the UK embassy already has a copy. The sad thing is you might not be called for an interview, but the good thing is; unlike the former application which did not attract a full right of appeal because the visa sought was a tourist one, this time, (if however you're refused) being a Civil Partnership one you'd be given a right of appeal and that would give you a chance to explain yourself. |

phuket: phuket:Yes, absolutely, they keep your records for future references. phuket:Absolutely, this is questionable and you'll have to prove beyond reasonable doubts that the former was an error, maybe a supporting affidavits can help, though. By the way, what about the day and month, do they correspond? phuket:Honestly, i don't believe it was a mistake, no immigration officer will ever do a thing like that, com'on, we're Nigerians, and we know what OLuwole is capable of. Anyway, this is a very serious offence, you have just tempered your travel document and this could result in serious immigration prosecution should you happen be found out in the UK territory. phuket:But i don't think they can verify such private (or personal) invitation card, it's got nothing to do with any government or coporate organisation, neither does it have any legal consequences. So, i don't think this is a problem. However, they might want to know how your proposed wedding went, you should find a way to explain why it didn't take place. phuket:My pleasure. Expect more contributions from others. Cheers |

landis:Wise talk, Mr. Landis. But mind you, Russia, being the largest country in the world indeed has a part of its land (which is four times bigger than Nigeria as a whole) in Europe, and the Russians are Caucasians by race. Wise talk, Mr. Landis Now i'll explain the reason why Israel is allowed to participate in European activities. Because of isolation by almost all its Middle Eastern neighbors, the Israel Football Association was not affiliated with any confederation between 1974 and 1994. Since 1991 Israeli clubs have been participating in European competitions and they received full UEFA membership in 1994: There was a treaty and Israel signed to participate in European activities. Until 1974 Israel had been participating in Asia games, and they hosted and won the Asian Cup in 1964; they were finalist in 1956 and 1960. Security risks is not the problem, the problem is that a number of countries in Asia such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Syria REFUSE to participate in any game against Israel and have boycotted matches in the Olympics and other tournaments instead of playing the Israelis who they consider outcaste. So, there's actually politics behind all these. If they compete in any tournament in Asia, half of the continent would boycott the tournament. So, it's logical and understandable why Europe accept them as they appreciate where they feel accepted |

nigertrave:Are you talking about Atlanta Georgia or the Nation, Georgia? If the second, i'm afraid you're not at all generous with your offer. How could you encourage your countryman to seek citizenship in a country like Georgia that's struggling with brutal poverty where most people earn less than $80 a month? Last week, there was this true story of a Georgian woman who sold her bicycle in order to buy some food stuff for her family, and a related story of a Man who sold his microwave oven to raise money for his house rent. By location, this country is not considered to be in Europe and yet, it's isolated in the middle east where it is located, its passport needs visa to almost every country in the world; and its citizens are everywhere seeking political asylum which are seldom successful. Hmm, na only Georgia, add Afghanistan join am. . . Man, why don't you state your real intention. . . |

The kind of accounts that are acceptable/credible are the ones with transparent activities reflecting (at lease) six months transactions: AN ACCOUNT THAT HAS BEEN LEFT EMPTY FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS AND THEN, RESURRECTED JUST AT THE DAWN OF VISA APPLICATION DOESN'T LOOK GOOD  |

brownbonno:Well said, Brownbommo, i couldn't put it any better. Vikiviko, Visa is not a "right", it's just a privilege, and to get this privilege, one has to fulfil all requirements irrespective of your travel history or your financial capabilities. It's a western country we're talking about, and we all know that these people are not respecter of any one. The French embassy is absolutely right in their decision. Also, do not forget the fact that these guys do not trust any Nigerian since they've seen a lot of mischievous cases in visa applications. Like Brownbonno said, Wale could have done better as a person who has vast travel experience. He could have avoided this outcome. I hope he realises something from this and put it right next time. All said, my sympathy. |

I Received My Application With Appeal On It Just Last Week, So I Wanna Appeal WithOut Any Lawyer/Representative/Sponsor, Can Someone Just Put Me Through How I Go About It? Please I Need Just Full & Step Detail, Thanks For Being, LOL 1Luv[/quote]I sympathise with you for your visa refusal. Bus as for the appeal: there's absolutely no need to employ a lawyer knowing fully well that even a Lawyer neither enjoys any immunity nor preferential treatment when it comes to visa matter. Remember that a visa is not your legal right, but a privilege. So, an appeal is an occasion giving you the opportunity to prove yourself worthy of such privilege. I know that in the appeal form, you're asked if someone is going to represent you; that's because the BHC expects the possibility of a sponsor (if any, especially one of British citizen) to take up a legal challenge on your behalf. But in your case, i don't see any need for a paid lawyer because, you're not entitled to any legal rights, but privilege. But going for appeal might be too long a process, especially as the visa you sought is for a specific duration and purpose which might become invalid by the time your appeal is due. I suggest rectification of error(s) and reapplying, but if you can't do any better, then, keep your struggle for a future date when you'd be better prepared. However, if i may ask; on what ground were you refused the visa? |
