thegame: Hi guys, i am a corper in lagos and i will be ending my service next month. i want to travel to uk sometime in may or june for a holiday trip and i already sent a request to my uncle in the uk asking for a letter and all i might need from him, now i'm here because i want to know if there are any other things to know before the whole application starts. i want my parents to sponsor me though and i want advice concerning bank statements and all from people with experiences. thanks in advance.
p.s: i have been denied study visa before though. like 5 years back. and i have never tried visiting or any other thing with them. Plus, I don't hv a job yet.

(2) Will a closing balance of about 780k be sufficient as I am the one sponsoring myself (salary acct with regular inflow and outflow) I dnt av any landed property or cars whatsoever.My only tie in Naija here is my Job.

econome: Flying was less deadly in 2012 than in any year since 1945, but that does not mean all airlines are equally safe.
The Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC), which collects information about aviation accidents and safety, has published its annual Airline Safety Ranking.
The ratings take into account the number and deadliness of the hull losses (destroyed airplanes) they have suffered in the past 30 years, how they have fared more recently, and how many flights they have flown without incident.
The results do not take into account the cause of the hull losses, or whether the airline is at fault, so they are not a perfect measure of how safely an airline behaves.
Of 60 ranked airlines, here are the 10 with the worst safety records, including the number of hull losses since 1983, and how many fatalities they caused:
#10 SkyWest Airlines: 3 hull losses; 22 dead
#9 South African Airways: 1 hull loss; 159 dead
#8 Thai Airways International: 5 hull losses; 309 dead
#7 Turkish Airlines: 6 hull losses, 188 dead
#6 Saudia: 4 hull losses; 310 dead
#5 Korean Air: 9 hull losses; 687 dead
#4 GOL Transportes Aéreos: 1 hull loss; 154 dead
#3 Air India: 3 hull losses; 329 dead
#2 TAM Airlines: 6 hull losses; 336 dead
#1 China Airlines: 8 hull losses; 755 dead
Update: This post has been updated to clarify how JACDEC produces its safety rankings.

Proudlygemini: Mr vicjustice thanks for the reply and the visa link. I have done some research and realize that if I apply for a spouse visa it means I should be ready to live in the uk for 2years and would be allowed 90days to travel out of the uk each year. Would it be better i apply as a family visitor instead? Pls what documents are required for that? This thing is beginning to give me serious headache lol, thanks for your help sir

vislabraye: If she comes back after breaking up with you, the interest won't be as strong as before.
Its either all others she placed ahead of you have disappointed her or she just wants to settle down and she sees you as the best option.
It could even be that its because of your money if you just became rich.

vislabraye: I have found out severally that it is very impossible for a man to win a girlfriend who has broken up with him. I've noticed that when her interest is down, you just have to leave.
The worst thing you can do is to beg or buy her gifts. The truth is that when a girl losses interest, she won't be sentimental. If you like buy her a house in VGC, it won't make her get interested. BEWARE.
If you have any experience, let us know.

OCTAVO: This is the ordeal of my friend. She brought home her fiance and her ‘Christian parents‘ resorted to consulting a Babalawo (Native Doctor) behind her back.
Some divinations were made & the Oracle revealed that they are incompatible.
When the parents narrated the whole thing to the lady, she became terribly angry and said ‘she no go gree.‘
Now, I find it disgusting and very hard to believe that people still consult oracles before taking major decisions (especially marriage related).
Are predictions from Native Doctors worthy to go by?
Would you advise her to follow her parents‘ guide on this issue?
Can you allow a Native Doctor to predict your future partner?

Idowuogbo: Gush! Too many... At least 20.

ralph2: i friend intends to apply for UK visa soon,he had earlier applied for visa in 2003 but did not turn up for second interview base on improper documentation.A false age was used then,now he has another passport with his real age,should he claim he has not appeared before since this is about ten years ago?

Okontami: Vic my man, na u dey talk like this?? Haba. Remember that when your office sends you on an assignment, you can not reject. I have had cause to go to Sudan, my brother is currently in Iraq but he has been in Iran before, he was in Kazakhstan too. Imagine all these places. It depends on where you work most times. But, I no blame you sha, cos we Naija self no dey try. We fit go any where in the name of traveling abroad.

Proudlygemini: @vicjustice thanks so much for the break down. Which would you think is best choice for me, I know someday I'd like to settle in the uk but for now visit are fine. But wouldn't d fact that my hubby doesn't own a home in the uk be a prob? Pls can you also help me with links for the spouse tourist visa and settlement visa, thank you sir.

Proudlygemini: Please nairalanders I need your advice on getting a spouse visa.
I would start off by saying I recently just got married to a British expat that lives and works here in Lagos but travels during the holidays back home to the uk. Before we got married we decided that Nigeria would be our home but we'll always travel during the holidays back to the uk. Based on this decision, his last trip this December he sold his house since there's no one there. Now we plan on vacationing this summer for about a month but I'm confused. I do not intend to live in the uk atleast not for another 4 years, do I still apply for a spouse visa even though i plan to stay a month. We also decided to rent an apartment while we are there. My strong tie to Nigeria is my 5 years old son from a previous relationship and my business also my husbands contract isn't due till 2016. I have also read that he needs to earn 18k and above annually to meet d financial requirement, right now he''s paid 5kpounds monthly that's 60k a year. How long does the spouse visa take? Do I have to do a change of name on my passport cos I recently renewed it and it doesn't expire till 2017. Do I fill the application in my name as it is on my passport or in his? Please I need you advice on how to get this right, thank you.
