thanks @vor,

it surely helps because you have been able to break it down a bit and the whole thing is on Tort anyway.

i will do something on your own interpretation and take it to my tutor.

i will surely get back to you so tha you can also have some ideals on property law.

Thank you.

Muyiwa,

I still de wait o!!!

jaybaby:
Guys r so Lazy--They dnt even care if U would contract anytin 4m 'em if U seat on der Pee! They would jus do it & walk away--

I dnt even know who wakes 'em up @ d middle of da night- they would Pee everywhere even on da rug--We had 2 remove d rug 4m our Toilet because of 'em.

They r VERY DIRTY

You sef, why you de put rug for toilet?
It is so un-hygienic having rug or carpet for
toilet.

Me personally, if I see toilet seat down I go lift
am before I pee. But no expect make I put am
back down after I don finish.

WesleyanA:
yes it is. sort of[/b]in this globalized economy that we live in

you just said it yourself that a lot of the buildings are a joke. (i agree with you. the "national open university of nigeria" pic looks like an abandoned building or a section 8 project building ) and doesn't that reflect our underdevelopment?
we don't that many "tall buildings" either.

how come the better developed a country is, the more skyscrapers they have in their cities?

that's why i said we still got a very long way to go.

it's pretty much the same ol' buildings being displayed over and over again from different angles here on this thread. lol
i'm not hating though. they're cool pics and it's always good to see progress, positive threads

I'm glad you qualified your statement.
I can think of a hell of a lot more important indicators of
[b]REAL development. I'm sure you can too. How about
for starters.

1. GDP
2.GNI PER CAPITA
3. Infant mortality rate.
4. Provision of a decent affordable health care, transport service.
5. Free and Universal education up to secondary school.
6. literacy rate.
7. Decent housing.

Shall I go on?
I agree that Nigeria's economy is improving gradually
but given our natural and human resources we really should
be in a far better state than we are.

And at the risk of sounding like a broken record
nice skyscrapers and a few nice shopping centres
and cinema facilities available only to the privileged
are not a true reflection of development.

I might be wrong but I seem to remember reading somewhere that during
Nigeria's colonial past we did operate a jury system in some parts of the
country and in limited circumstances.

Perhaps someone can throw some light on my admittedly vague memory.

But dealing with the current question I think there are both pros and cons.
Currently if someone wants to manipulate the outcome of a case they only
have to deal with one person, i.e the Judge, if a jury was in place it would be
more difficult in that several people would have to be approached to ensure success.
A problem might arise where the jury is made up of people of several ethnic
origins who do not all speak English, would we then have a situation where the proceedings
are interpreted into many languages? The alternative would be to only pick jurors who can
speak English or have court proceedings only in a limite number of languages which would exclude
people unfairly, in my view, from the opportunity to be a juror.

BigSis:
Paddy,

You can get as mad as you want. The majority of Naijas are suffering. It is only the theives that rob your coffers, and forces you and your people to the four corners of the earth, that can afford to live on the islands. The pictures that are being displayed is not the real Naija. I've got load of pictures of the real Naija. However, I know you know what the real Naija looks like.


It is all pretend.

@Big Sis
I am with you 100% on this.
Your views pretty much reflect mine that I have
posted here: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-8874.32.html

Another thing is that a lot of those buildings are a bit of a joke.
Go inside, often the lifts don't work or like a lot of the country
they suffer from the results of frequent power failure.

I love Nigeria but I don't think development is measured
by how many skyscrapers you have or my tallest building is
bigger than yours.

People de relate them kinkiness on a sex site
and you(j-girl) de talk about chopping ice cream.

A sad,sad tale indeed. May his soul find eternal rest.
And may the good lord grant his family,especially his
wife and daughter, the strength and fortitude to
bear what can only be a monumental loss to them.

RIPP.

@dblock

Skyscrapers do not necessarily make a city. I disagree that skyscrapers reflect
the might and wealth of a nation. There are too many poor people in Nigeria
despite these deceptive skyscrapers.


I'd much rather( so I'm sure would many others) live in a clean,
neat functioning city. One where there is constant electricity, running water,
security and an adequate transport system. Even if it has not a single building
over 5 storeys.

Now this is funny.

Hi,

I am new member to this forum. Getting a flexible loan is no more a difficult task for the residents of UK. There are innumerable loans available in the loan market, which are remarkable for their distinctiveness and provide solution during financial requirements. Homeowner loan UK is one of such loans which offer easy solution to people in quest of money.

To get homeowner loans UK, you need to place collateral for the loaned amount. This collateral acts on behalf of the borrower and comes in the form of home of the borrower. The lender takes full right to repossess the home if the borrower fails to repay the loaned amount on time. This is why it is always recommended that you should go for the loaned amount which you can repay easily.

Homeowner loans UK give you a chance to get a good amount of money which generally ranges from £5,000-£100,000. However it should be noted here that the amount of money largely depends upon the equity of your home. Equity implies the market value of borrower’s property in excess of all debts to which it is liable. Higher equity helps you to get maximum amount of money.

You can access homeowner loans UK to fulfill any of your requirements such as:

Purchasing a brand new car.

Improvement of your home.

Traveling a tourist spot.

Higher education of your son.

And I would bet my bottom dollar that the interest rate on such a loan would be much higher than the norm.

@everyone
i will give you the lowdown, i actually applied for a visa in Aug and was turned down for about 7 reasons, asking why i was just interested in a masters degree after graduating 2 years ago, stating that i didnt provide my own statement of account, asking how i was going to be relevant in the oil and gas industry, why i was been sponsored by my parents company, that they weren't satisfied that the company was willing to invest its profit in my education, even after i had paid a sum of 6500 pounds. i immediately reapplied and addressed all the issues raised and was again turned down this time the ECO just told a lie by saying the name of the account and the sponsor was different. i have appealled but i am still worried, i want to know considering the fact that i was told to forward all documents before 27 of feb how soon can i expect a decision(not an oral hearing), i just want to know how soon. in case i have to make alternative plans

The listing of an appeal for a hearing is down to the administrative section of the AIT. You will need to
contact them direct to see if your matter has been given a hearing date. Given the deadline for the submission
of your appeal was 27/02/07 I don't think it will be anytime soon,

As for the decision in your case that is entirely up to the speed of the judge. If it is a straightforward case
he/she may give a decision on the same day, alternatively he may give it up to a few weeks later.
All told it may be several months before your case is done and dusted, so it may be a good idea to
have a plan B.

BTW, have a look at this thread and my response to a query by JEJE, it may be relevant to your situation.

  https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-40828.0.html

I think too many people here are too easily fazed by a few nice looking skyscapers.

So what I say, we all know that on the ground the reality can often be vastly different.
Lagos is nothing but a ****hole lacking in a lot of basic infrastructure including
water, electricity and a good transport service. The vast majority of its population
live just on or beneath the breadline and a few gleaming skyscrapers in an area
of the city equating to probably 0.001% of its overall size should not disguse that.

Here is yet another Viagra joke.

Q: Did you hear about the new Viagra computer virus?
A: It turns your floppy disk into a hard drive.

So did she have the baby?

BTW where did a 12 year old get money
to have 5 pregnancy tests and who told her
about testing for pregnancy? Those kits aren't
exactly cheap.

Hmmmmmmmm

@Funky,VOR,LC and MrPataki

I am finding it extremely difficult to offer advice to the "new comers" with 1 or 2 post.

I reserve my further comment on this.

I feel you on this Akowale.

Most of the new posters give very scanty details
and I just can't be bothered to start requesting
for further info from them.

In any case if they took the time to trawl through
the various threads and responses on UK visas they would probably
find the answer/s to any query they have.

Wny not just buy a used phone wherever you are in Europe and
send it to them?

@Jeje

In submitting your sponsor's company documents, you should both be mindful of the
legal implications and how it affects your application.

If the company is a limited liability company then it is in law a separate legal entity
from your sponsor and though he may be the driving force behind the company, in
law he is not the company. Therefore, the funds of the company belong to it and not your sponsor.
He will therefore have to provide to the BHC (High Commission)a company resolution confirming that the directors
of the company are happy to use company funds to pay for your education.

If the company is not LTD then you can ignore the above.

Good luck.

@sexxxy

I feel your pain and know what it is like. I  lost my dad several years ago. I was in the UK at the time
and in accordance with our religion he was buried even before I got to Nigeria. It was hard at the time
and I really thought I would never get over it.

But time indeed is a healer and now I can look back on his life and the times we had and talk about him without
breaking into tears.

God bless you and your family and I wish him eternal rest. Time will heal the rawness you probably feel right now.

baby4u2:
one thing i would advice u to do ajiboye is to look for a naija church around you, thats a very good start if u ask me. cause they are nicer peeps there and trust me is a sure way of meeting quick and good friends. can see u and hotstepper are already making movesss. lol

And if he ain't a Christian? A bit presumptuous aren't you.

@TONMAX

I see your point completely. What you can do is to make written representations to the BHC
setting out your disagreement with the decision and see what response they give you. They
will probably still defend the decision and state that every application is based on its merits. Which
is code for you may not necessarily be refused in future.

BTW, why did you choose Birmingham for your honeymoon? It is not exactly known
for its romantic delights. I suspect that your choice of destination made the ECO very
suspicious and he/she was perhaps soley focused on this point rather than taking
the WHOLE application into account.

Londoncool may be able to give you further insight as I believe he has "inside" knowledge
of the inner sanctum and mysteries of the whole process.

tonmax:
''You have stated that u wish to vist the UK for two weeks to honeymoon and have provided hotel reservations for the duration of your stay, Although i find it unrealistic that u would travel to the UK for your honeymoon and choose to stay in a hotel removed removed from the normal tourism circuit.
Although it would be unreasonable to expect a detailed itinerary for your proposed visit, it is not unreasonable to expect some indication as to what you would do or see especially as a first time visitor to the UK.You have provided no indication as to what you plan to see and do in the UK.Given the intended outlay on this trip by you, and the lenght of your stay in the UK, i'm not satisfied that u are a genuine visitor to the UK and are entering the UKfor the reasons and duration as stated by you''

That's exactly what they wrote to both of us.

On the face of it this sounds like a very weak refusal.

I assume both you and your husband are in full time
employment?

On the visa application form did he mention he'd been to
the UK previously?

Which hotel and where precisely is it?

Were you offered a right of appeal? I'm not sure there is one against
visitor refusals. Even if there is you face two possible problems.
Firstly, any appeal you make now will probably be out of time. You can
of course apply for an extension of time within which to appeal, but you
have to have a good excuse as to why you didn't appeal within the statutory
period.
Secondly, since you have already gone on your honeymoon this will no longer be the reason
why you wish to visit the UK . You could of course simply say you now wish to visit, but they (eco)
may view this as smacking of desperation to get to the UK at all costs.

My advice, purely on the basis of what you have stated, is to wait until you have good reason to visit
the UK and then apply again.

Are They any any imminent dangers in dating your coworker?

Viagra also called Sildenafil is used to treat impotence in men. Sildenafil increases the bodies ability to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses.

Tank you doc.

Bosahchude:
Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh?

I suppose the question is not soley related to matters concerning property, in
which case you should also give consideration to NEGLIGENCE and VICARIOUS LIABILITY.

I would be most interested to know how your lecturer deals with it.

Beautygal,

R u serious?

U really don't know what Viagra is?
Me I no wan corrupt you o.
So go googalise am for ya self.

I'm not an expert in property law but I suppose the legal issues which on the face of the question appear apparent are:

1/ As an estate agent is Jim legally qualified to carry out this kind of survey?

2/ What liability if any would Jim be subject to if the owner of the property was to sue for possible negligence?

3/ Would ABC estate agency be liable as a LTD liability Co for the negligence of a former employee?

I hope this helps but please do not accept it as gospel. Immigration, as you well know, is my area of expertise.

So you wan make we answer your sample exam question for you?
