The bank statement was in my sponsor's company name,with a letter from the two banks stating that he is the sole signatory to the accounts.

How do i go about the appeal based on the single ground i was been refused.

Thanx.

Thanks for the information,i really do appreciate.From your reply,it means that my younger ones would have to apply for visas but does being born in England give them an added advantage?

@VOR. You said her siblings that were[b] born in the U.K. after 1983 wouldn't be eligible [/b] to live there permanently only to visit or study? What kind of useless country is that!

Guess that makes me a citizen,right.

As I said, yes, unless your parents were here on diplomatic service.

I have visited the embassy twice,was given an application form on the 2nd visit and a list of supporting documents which i should get which includes my results from primary school till date.The one that is most outrageous is "mother's original antenatal/postnatal/delivery notes or certified copies from the hospital+letter from hospital confirming birth".how d they expect me to get this?

Try and write to the hospital, you can do this under the freedom of information act.They will still
probably have your records.

Now,please let me know what u presented to them before they granted your application.
How long does it take for the passport to be ready?

I obtained my passport in the UK a longgggggggggg time ago.
I don't know how long it would take to get your passport in Nigeria.
It would depend on how straightforward your case is.

Since i am a citizen,what rights do i have?
what are my entitlements?

You have the same rights as any other UK national once you
have established this to the satisfaction of the High Commission.

Do i still need the ROA and Certificate of entitlement or does having a british passport cover all these?

You don't need a ROA once you have your UK passport, although if you have a Nigerian passport
you may still wish to get it endorsed into it.

What kind of job do i get?Government job?because i blieve i shuld be given beta trtment even if i am second class.

You don't get a job here just because you are a citizen, first class or not. You have to apply for the job like everyone
else. As regards government jobs, some will be closed to you at first because even as a citizen you still have to meet
residency requirements. E.G THE FOREIGN OFFICE AND MINISTRY OF DEFENCE.

i was asked to pay 31,000 naira at the embassy.infact the lady at the lagos embassy asked me to bring that amount for the passport on my next visit.

A first issue passport in the UK I believe costs about £40. So you do the maths.

Assuming i do not have a place to stay,are they not supposed to provide one for me?

No they aren't, once you come here you are on your own. Make sure you have good friends
or family you can stay with initially till you find your feet.

Do i still need a Nigerian Passport?

That is entirely up to you as to whether you need one. My personal opinion is nothing
wrong in having one. It will be useful when you visit home.(Nigeria)

It's a figure of speech .
I mean, I've being to London's top attractions, like Hyde Park, London Bridge, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, London Eye, Greenwhich etc. And the maintenance isn't all that. The subway which is for all people those who live there and those who visit 'Rich and poor' is pathetic for a developed country. The trains need replacement. Even the majority of shopping centres and department stores have poor architecture. London should be renamed Brickdon. A city is not judged by the North part of it, or the south part of it. A city is judged by every corner and every bit.

Economic Status, is not perception. It's like saying rich people can't see the flaws in Ghettos, and poor people can't see good things. Every city has it's good and bad, but generally London isn't Hype. I can wite a detailed thesis as to why that is. This is not personal.

I have been to every corner of London, and the city is more like a heritage site than a city with Hype. London is just a typical british city, with too much brick. but with that said, London isn't half bad.
