Thanks again.

simpleseyi: There appeared to be no end to the bloodletting in Plateau State as six persons, all members of one family, were on Tuesday hacked to death in a renewed wave of sectarian violence in the state.

In the latest incident, the victims were killed in Marraraben Foron village in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state.

Though the perpetrators have not been identified, our correspondent gathered that the act was carried out by some unknown gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.

It was gathered that the victims were about to retire to bed at about 10pm when the messengers of death visited them.

The incident has raised tension in the area and the city centre. Heavily armed soldiers and mobile policemen have been deployed in sensitive areas including government buildings and installations.

Immediate past chairman of the Management Committee of the Barkin Ladi Local Government, Mr. Emmanuel Loman, who confirmed the incident, described it as very unfortunate.

He said, “This pattern of killing and wiping out of families has continued and nobody appeared to be perturbed. It is very sad that despite all efforts to restore peace to this area, we have continued to have these incessant and insensitive killings.”

Efforts to reach the spokesperson of the Special Task Force, Capt. Salisu Mustapha, were unsuccessful as his phone was unavailable.

confuxsio: Thanks for your advice Vicjustice. I appreciate it but just so I understand this correctly, can I ask the following?

If he applies on tourist visa, names his relatives and states 'NO' to the question about visiting/staying them, will that give the ECO a reason to raise an eyebrow? Some agency he asked told him to do it this way but I think it sounds dodgy and I (thinking as an ECO) might question why he's not visiting (esp as he used his sister's address as his main place of resident whilst he was a student)...I could be wrong sha

OR

Would it be better for him to apply on a family visa, naming his relatives and showing evidence of him sponsoring himself without the need for financial info?

Thanks in advance once again

Fulaman198: The reason why Nigeria is not doing well as a nation is due to the low self-esteem that Nigerians have and their thought process of wanting to be something they are not. They lack self-pride and ambition. Without those things they will never prosper.

jcaribie: Yes, you do need to provide a financial statement along with what the UKBA has asked for.

confuxsio: Hi All,

I've searched the threads tire but I'm not sure I've found an answer. Hope someone can help me

My BF is looking to come over to the UK to visit me for 9 days in Feb 2014 and has reserved hotel accommodation in London for his entire stay. He currently works offshore on a 2wks on/off rota in Nigeria so only has limited time to make his application. He has a sister who lives with her family in Manchester and a brother in Leeds. Both siblings are British citizens. He was in the UK from Sep 2011 - Feb 2013 on a student visa.

He was going to apply for a general tourist visa to quicken to process/avoid getting letters and bank statements etc but since he has family in the UK so we decided it was best for him to complete a family visa. Can I check this is the better option and which gives him a better chance of obtaining a visa? He is sponsoring himself and has evidence of his employment, his rota details, bank statements and a current account with over 2 million naira.

Can we apply for family visa but since his siblings are British citizens, do we need to provide financial information? The guide on the UKBA site only states the below, with no mention of financial info:

'You may also want to provide:

a letter of invitation from the family member you are visiting;
evidence of their immigration status in the UK, this could be copies of:
bio-data pages from their passports
valid visa or immigration stamp from their passport
Home Office letter confirming permission to stay in the UK.'

If none of the above, what should we do??

Thanks in advance

wola44: Who told you that the advise is not in compliance with the written rules and regulations. Mr Wise , Tell us your advice if Cancerlib choose to reapply ?

If Cancerlib want to reapply the best way is to presence supporting document for the large amount. I have been in the situation before and it was resolved ok.

Vicjustice: I'm actually familiar with them both in ghetos and in organised areas, but i think you're right, the ones operating in Ghetos are real louder

wishlolia: 19:29

wishlolia: No, you're not greedy, just that you're not satisfied with what you're generously given

Fulaman198: It is a very sensible argument. Corruption is not the only reason why African countries are not doing well. There is a lot of corruption in Western societies.

wola44: @ Vicjustice

I think you don't know what you are saying, How do u explain excess of income or large amount to ECO ? only way is supporting document. Be careful with ur statement when responding to other people's advise.

wishlolia: I THINK THAT DEPENDS ON THE AREAS, maybe you have been familiar with the ones operating in ghetos
