Vergil: 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.

ajaljnr: Good day NLs. I submitted my application for 2yrs renewal since July 3rd and up till this minute, whenever I track the application on VFS website, I always get same response i.e it's been forwarded to the british embassy. I believe renewal shouldn't even be up to 15 working days but in my own case its over 35 working days now (7weeks and 5 days). Has anyone ever experienced this kind of delay please? And what do you suggest I do please?

osile2012: Bross thank you, one more thing, my sister stays in Bournemouth, and from what i heard its a remote area, i want to stay in london, while looking for accommodation online, i came across this site airbnb dot com. some offers they had was cool but i dont know if they are real, have you heard of them and can i present an accommodation i booked in that place to the embassy.?

preciousmee: Thanks a lot for your prompt response. this means i have to go to Abuja to effect my change of name on my passport. this system to me is not right at all there should be a convenient way to do this.
All the same thanks once again.

preciousmee: Hello all, please i need a clarification on this visa issue I want to apply for UK visa with my family, am newly married with a son but have my E passport on my maiden name do i really need to change my passport to bear my husbands name? i have every other documents like the marriage cert, letter of into from my office which bears my maiden name and also my husbands name, news paper publication...i also understand that to change my name i have to go to Abuja just to snap which will be difficult for me. please your advice will be appreciated.

Vicjustice: Are you really sure that you rightly tick the Family Visit category? This category definitely attracts the full rights of appeal except the person that you are visiting does not have the rights to invite you (that is, s/he is neither a UK citizen nor is s/he holding long-term/permanent residency).
Now, i need you to be plain about this; the incomes that displayed in your bank statement, are they as result of genuine payment (howbeit irregular), or is the statement arranged or composed to display them in the paperwork?

NuNu08: Hey justwise&vicjustice.....i was refused visa today with a̶̲̥̅ decision from thee officer that the credit & balances inn mai acc are not consistent wit mai declared monthly income.......therfore hs not satisfied dart †ђξ statement iss a true reflection off mai financial circumstances..therefore hs not satisfied & refused mai application on thee balance of probabilities that ​ meet all of †ђξ requiremnts of †ђξ relevant paragraph of thee UK immigration rules....yur right of appeal is limited!!!!!!watt do yu tink plsss m i under a ban or ςα̲̅ñ i appeal??th

Enlightened1: @justwise and Vicjustice!! I've got a quick question. What is my chances of getting US visit visa. I applied for a conferences which is coming up on Nov. My passport is a virgin PP. My. Interview is in OCT24. I've got all the required documentation. Like letter of Employment, sponsor letter and bank statement, my bank statement and payslip, tax clearance. Between sponsor for the trip is my pops, he owns the coy!., between I've been refused UK visa 2 times. Please what are my chances? I know I have to prove to the CO beyond every reasonable doubt strong ties to my country, and also demonstrate the benefit of the trip to me and sponsor. I am littled worried because of what I heard about the US visa interview, you get denied without the co looking at your documents. Please shed more light on this, between I will let the forum know how my interview panned out!!

Donxavier: I'm asking you, cos it's you that don't understand what race is all about. From your writings, it's obvious you can't tell the difference between Racism,Ethnicity/Ethnocentrism and all other subtle forms of discrimination.

Donxavier: What's your point?
Igbo Hausa Same Race
Hausa Igbo Different Tribes
Ijebu Ekiti. Same Tribe/ethnic group
What's your point?

Donxavier: Tribalism/Ethnicity.

I agree that extreme tribalism takes the same offensive form as extreme racism but there are some distinct differences. Tribalism is unrelated to one's biology and as such flexible and transformable. People everywhere change or enhance their ethnicity by learning about and assimilating other culture. Ethnic/Tribal identity are learned forms of behaviour and it is acquired.
If an Hausa hates me cos am yoruba I can decide to learn the culture of the Hausas and become accepted by them. Tribalism is a culture thing and as such can be learned. I can learn their ways, act like them, think and talk like them until I am literarily them.
Not so with Racism. Your Race is innate and unalterable. I said it earlier you can't change your skin color, it's the way you are born and it's no fault of yours.

I can still be accepted by a tribalist because as long as I assume their cultural identity, then there is no problem. But the problem with the Racist is that I can never be like them biologically and as long as I don't look like them biologically, I can't be accepted.

Donxavier: But skin colour isn't a bad start even though Racism or Racial discrimination goes beyond that. On that basis I have never seen a Nigerian hate another Nigerian just cause he's black. People hate people for varied reasons and that isn't particularly tied down to a particular race. Hatred for whatever reasons are a universal phenomenon. But I think the disgust is one hating cos of your skin color. Cos you can't change that and it isn't your fault you re black. The same also goes for the black hating the white just cos he's white.
Other subtle forms like Tribalism and Ethnicity can be eradicated with time through proper education and more tolerant open minded interactions with one another. An Igbo man that won't allow his daughter marry the love of her life just cos he's Yoruba is sad, but at least the daughter doesn't think that way and more importantly the daughter doesn't see Yorubas that way. Moreover, the man might still change his mind after fortunate dealings with Yoruba people.

But if what triggers the hatred is skin color, then what can be done to change that? Absolutely nothing, which is why that is still the most dangerous form of discrimination.

claremont: The OP asked for countries where racism is rife, I wonder how and why some people on here are mentioning Nigeria. How can a Negro race be racist against its own kith and kin?!
Just so you know, racism can only occur between two different races, and NOT WITHIN an individual race!

If you want to argue about Tribalism and Ethnicity in Nigeria, you can go ahead and argue about it; those are issues very different and separate from an argument on racism.

lawrence99: Just wondering what place in the world you guys think has the worst racism? Where is the deep-felt patriotism/tribalism/nationalism/racism or whatever you wanna call it strongest? Where could you get attacked, kidnapped, killed just because you're not black?

I'm a white guy and having travelled in over 100 countries and 25 countries in Africa, I think it's Nigeria! Sure in French Africa, the police will want a bribe if you're english speaking and for sure if you're white. And boy will they be wicked!! But the local people there are nice and will want to be friends with you. In South Africa, they've got huge tensions for sure. But at least most people are trying to be a rainbow nation. And in provincial Western Europe and Eastern Europe, it's bad for black people. There'll be some idiots there who want trouble but most people would look away and in England most would stop it. Australia's bad definitely but a lot of people no longer believe in white Australia and even if they'd laugh, they wouldn't let anyone get hurt.

But in Nigeria, it was unbelievable!!! I've been attacked several times on my travels but only in Nigeria did I experience being attacked whilst a street full of onlookers who all laughed. In Nigeria, it's funny for a white to be attacked. If he's bleeding, it's better. Why was I in their country anyway. After all, there's only 2 million Nigerians in the 'country' where I was born. Nigerians are far too backward to get along with other racial Nigerians so a white is just an animal to them. Every Nigerian I met wanted something out of me. If I ask for my change in a bar, they shake their heads, close their eyes and sometimes scream in anger. What a stupid white! When they see me with my Nigerian girlfriend, they shout out loud and tell her in to eat all my money. Yeah! Ha ha! If I'm friends with a Nigerian and at the end I haven't given them anything, they get angry and make threats. Sometimes, they'll see you somewhere and just look at you and shake their heads in disgust. You're white, what are you doing in my country? Sometimes, they kidnap you if you're a foreigner. When I visited my girlfriend's family home, someone outside said: what the Bleep are you doing in my country? Most Nigerians utterly hate whites. And they think there's good reason to! They're white and were born on white land. Nigeria's the most racist place in the world in my opinion. It's pure happy, smiling racism. How can Nigerians talk about racism?

Freiburger: Nigeria and i've got my reasons.
