@VOR, Akolawole, Mr Pataki,Funkybaby

I sent in my student visa appeal in february & I got a call from the high Commission to come over with my passport, updated bank stmt, letter of admission & original WAEC cert.

This I did and when i got there, the ECO collected the WAEC cert, statements. I initially applied for january 2008 start at the university but when the visa was denied, i deferred till sept 2008.

The ECO then asked when the school was resuming which i stated (sept 2008). She then stated that they will contact me later.

She kept my original WAEC cert and when i asked for it, she said they want to verify it. It has been close to a month m=now and I have not heard anything from them.

what do I do?
Thanks

@ sly

I couldn't think of anything , that's why I said weather, at least the topic asked for just one thing

  You tried Jare

Hypocrisy at its peak!! Are you telling there are no beggars on the street of Dublin? Agreed they may be limited, what have you contributed back to the suffering of the masses in Nigeria? Or that sit down there and write a cheap score because you see considerable amount of paupers who live by begging. You stated you were in Nigeria last Dec/Jan what was your contribution to the masses you saw living by begging?

In fact, I am going to stop here. The youtube link you brought up in this very thread has nothing to do with paupers living by begging. I wonder where your stand is. Neither here nor there reminds me of an oscillating pendulum.

theres a lot of good things in nigeria
there's the nigerian stock exchange that has traded in excess of billions of pounds as at last year
nigeria s a growing and vibrant economy rate of inflation is going down every year right now its in single digits
nigeria is investment friendly especially in real estate, its much more feasible and you will enjoy more returns if you invested in properties in nigeria than even the uk or the united states especially with the mortgage crisi they are facing now.
there are more jobs in nigeria with the advent of the multinationals,the telecoms giants like mtn,globacom e.t.c
there is a better quality of life in nigeria example is that with a salary of less than 2000ponds you can afford an housemaid,live in a nice area,and afford a beautiful quality of life with secrity which someone earning same thing in the uk or united states cannot afford on that salary.
the weather is beautiful
the people generally are warm and friendly,it might not mean much to some people but people have been frustrated and had psychological trauma because of loneliness and its gotten to a stage where you live on a street for tens of years and you don't know your neighbour.
meen the food in nigeria is heaven,
you will get more value for your money in nigeria
when it comes to global warming i think we are doing more than so many western countries where they waste everything, its a culture of repaire in nigeria and multiple uses for junk, nigerians will repair stuffs rather than replace,we don't shop with pastic bags once and chuck it in the bin rather use it again and again e.t.c

hi everyone ,
to be honest, visa refusal can be a terrible experience, i was in that position once, so i know how it is like. That was the more reason why i left the uk for spain. i actually thought that it was the end of the world, but then spain was the best move ever, everything in my life started to fall into place, spain might not be the uk or the usa, but it is a gateway to europe. But note that papers in this country can equally be difficult, but the secret is the northern side of spain, to get work visa from nigeria from this part of spain is very easy. all you need is a work contract from here for you to take to the embassy in nigeria.

if anyone is intrested let me know my email address is oyindaries@yahoo.co.uk succes rate is high.

EXPOSER:
Yes , This is where i am looking for,

@academy,
Now answer the questions tabled above,
There is nothing like protocol to someone who has no documents to back up his/her visa application, 
Dont even think about confusing people here, i have seen people like you,
I am not saying that you are not genuine. What i am saying is that you will have to explain everything here on nairaland.
None of this people who are desperate to travel deserve to be denied visa.
Think about how they feel if they don't have this visa,
Dont tell me that it doesnt concern you, So, if you want my people of great Nigeria to come to you,
Explain from A-Z, what will happen after the admission has been approved.
I am begging you to make things clear if your intentions are good
I am begging you to explain to them that the visa is not guarranteed even with admission from the best schools in the US,  I didnt se where you say anything here about your firm, You just encrypted your e mail address here as a trap for people who click carelessly, I hope to see your explanations by the time i wake up tomorrow or else , i will hunt you down to the slumps of Ajengunle,

EXPOSER:
What i am going to say here is out of experience, take it if u like or leave it. I have lived in Europe long enough to say this with certainty, It is about our boys in Spain, I know they will VERBALLY attack me as soon as they see this but like my father always say, OKWU ANA ASO ANYA ANAGHI EBI EBI. These people live in Europe. Due to the fact that getting a resident permit in Spain is easier more than any other schengen country, they took the advantage to extract more from their own brothers and sisters, Initailly they started scamming people in other parts of Europe like Germany , France, Holland, Belgium, Denmark,Sweden, Austria and many more, In these countries that i mentioned above, you can only get a resident permit through only one way, WOMEN OR MEN, its either you marry their daughter or impregnant them which both occurs under mutual agreement. I want you people out there to know that its not easy dealing with white women regarding what they regard us all to be thus giving birth to the rush for Spanish resident permits. In spain you can apply for a resident permit if you provide evidence that you have lived in the country for up to three years. Now ,this is where our players in Spain come in,  They will tell YOU to send two passport photograph, your international passport and so on, Then in a few days, they will tell you that they have submitted your documents to the lawyer and that the lawyer is demanding for some money to do this and that, Then your journey to bad experience begins, This is just the part one, i know that Nigerians doesnt love to read long stories, thats why i have to end this here, the part two will soon come out, to be contd

EXPOSER:
This is a continuation of the original topic,

These people in spain knows that the boys in other parts of Europe are already aware of what they do,NOW they turned their weapon to the next and most vulnerable place of them all, NIGERIA, (THUS PROVOKING ME)
They will call you and tell you that the Spanish govt has announced their intention to accept applications for resident permit. They will tell you initially that it wont cost you up to 500 euro, The worst is that they are people you know ,
REMEMBER THAT NOT ALL OF THEM ARE BAD,
They will ask you to bring the usual things,
1.international passport
2.passport photograph
3.Birth certificates in some cases
I know this is not my business but i have made it my business becasue the same people duped me of my money ,
Imagine how hard things are for our people in Nigeria, then some idiot living in Spain where there is constant electricity, good drinking water , good transportation system and so on, imagine them extracting money from strugglers in Nigeria, They are heartless and thats why i became fearless in exposing them,
Ask a Barrow pusher in Oshodi if he would want to travel over sea and you know what the response will be, This same barrow pusher will save money for years only to send it to one idiot in Spain becasue of travelling.
I m saying this for all Nigerians living in Nigeria to open their eyes and become aware of what is going on, The last time i was in Lagos, a boy living close to my place approached me with this issue. he said that he has sent over 90,000 naira to this guy in Spain and that for over ten months, the guy kept telling him the same thing, Lawyer said more money and more time is needed and Lawyer said that. I sat him down and told him to first of all, stop giving him money and secondly to accept the fact the he has been scammed, I asked him the documents he has sent to this guy and you will be suprised what this helpless guy told me, Just two passport photos and nothing more, I asked how he believed that someone could get him a resident permit without international passport and he replied that the guy promised to get him a Spanish passport, Imagine, I got the guys number and promised to be calling him. The last time i called him, he told me that the fellow in Spain whom he gave the money is now in nigeria, He said that he had a problem with the Spanish government and was deported,
The same faith awaits all of you scammers who eat the sweats of innocent victims, to be continued,

. . .Anyway going by the topic, the good thing I can think of right now about Nigeria is the weather.

Tegese:
and u think its only the attitude of the people in dublin where you stamped your a*s thats safe for blacks?

4Him:
I'm perplexed myself . . .

@ topic - I think this thread is a more a personal attack on vicjustice than it is a defence of Nigeria.
I don't agree that there are no positives to take out of Nigeria, but we would be decieving ourselves if we try to claim that the negatives don't far outway any positives.
Funny that most of those who sound so "proud" of their country do so from the relative comfort of foreign nations. uh oh

Is Nigeria a disgrace? YES it is . . . we are the 6th largest producer of oil in the world and yet at the bottom of the development ladder. We have no business having an economy worse than that of Botswana, we have no business with almost 50% illiteracy rate, we have no business having 70% of our population below the poverty line, we have no business generating less power than Ghana.

No other OPEC member is so poor . . . we call ourselves the giant of Africa but all we have to show for it is a largely unfed and disenfranchised population and we come here pretending to "love" Nigeria.

You are the most inconsistent human being I have seen on this forum! Now I can understand why funkybaby and Dantecmu are always on your case. I was just going to quote your post that you directed to nalijah on the thread she wanted to view pictures of Nigeria, and I saw that you had gone to modify it. You were so quick to denigrate and malign her with the mindset that she was coming to slander Nigeria.

And the same thing you are doing here. Keep your ass in Dublin. I hate it when silly Nigerians who are opportuned to be in developed countries begin to yarn dust and look down on fellow Nigerians as if they were not once in such shoes!

Again this thread of yours was about a video your silly Westerner friend showed you, yet you posted this same topic in the Religion, Culture and Travel thread. Upon being questioned why you are this eager to show it here and there, you quickly went to modify it again. Yet you call yourself a Doctor. I expected better reasoning from someone with such a pedigree.

FYI, the youtube link was simply referring to children seeking refuge in churches due to the outcast their own society placed them in.

Such a shame.

Vicjustice, I think slagging a country off is different from giving constructive criticism. I am in no way in support of us burying our heads in the sand, that really isn't my point.

[b]We need to talk about what needs to change, and also be ready to be a part of changing it.

londoner:
I understand someone who is curious coming to this site, but someone who sees nothing positive in Nigeria or Nigerians doing so seems illogical to me.

londoner:
Sly, did I direct my comment to you personally, or was it a general statement? My comment was quite simple really, many people here go on about how bad both Nigerians and Nigeria are, I am baffled as to why they still chose to belong to a Nigerian site, any suggestions?

Tuface for example,hin no read now but make hin show face for any embassy then never born the ECO wey go refuse am.

You can’t tell me to forget it and move on…

I may sound like a broken record Sir but I am only repeating the egotistical and silly BS you felt was necessary and relevant to contribute to this topic.

If you can’t handle the heat then try connecting your brain to your finger tips before typing out such crap again in future.

danity:
You're making this hard for me. I'm trying to be optimistic here.
One good thing about Nigeria that I've come to appreciate is the WEATHER! Okay - there is no but there for me. Environmentally, we are blessed with beautiful trees
When you stay in Snow and humidity, you learn to appreciate the rain and the sunny days.
THERE! No Buts, no ifs, no maybes!

EloSela:
This isn't news and why are you drinking hot cocoa in the hot African sun, ? Never mind, lol

Some good things I would like to hear about Nigeria:

Constant electricity for all
The reduction of pot holed roads and the construction of new ones
An advanced mass transit system in all major cities around the country[/b]Low unemployment levels
Free nationalized health care
Free world class compulsory education for every Nigerian child aged between 4 and 16.
Free world class university education for every Nigerian citizen aged 17 to 30 who opts to further their education.

The list goes on and on.

I don't wish or need to hear about specific Nigerians bragging because they have managed to sit in an air-conditioned office drinking hot choc while the majority plods along in abject poverty and ignorance.
