Samoludayo: My good people please I need an urgent answers to the question below. Note: I have asked this question on the students Thread b4 but some1 replies was pointing to the fact I haven't gotten Visa yet. I have to keep quiet as I kuku no get travel experience. Now the my ViSA is approved I still dont have answers to the questions.
QUESTIONS: 1. If 2 adults are traveling together does it mean that the maximum amount they can both hold as cash is £10,000 or each person can hold up to maximum of £10,000?
2. If I have fund in my naija account how do I have access to it in the UK since maximum foreign withdraw is $100 per months, and that wont be enough for monthly up keep.
Please quick response will be appreciated You people are two individuals travelling together so each of you can posses £10k each. However you’ll need to declare this at the POE if asked. Also you’ll need to carry proof of source of the money (to avoid the money getting seized unti money laundering)... As for the money you have in ur Naija account u can always trade it with people on here that want to send Naira for £... Only use trusted persons |

For those of you who think beating is a good means of correction. If an adult/ teenager offend you on your way to work this morning on the train/ tube or bus. You should bring out your cain or used stick to hit/ smack them for offending you ? ... if you can’t beat/ smack an adult even when they offend you then you have no business beating a defenceless child |

famzynet: I disagree with you. Spare the rod and spoil the child said the wisest man that ever lived. As a child,I received correct flogging. It shaped me into whom I am today. I see better behaved children in Nigeria than in the UK. My brother please what’s the name of the wiseman that said this? Cuz I can’t see any wisdom in that statement.. Africans are the most religious continent in the world and yet the most wicked, and poorest. If you want to use bible or Quran as your standard of living, then follow it judiciously not picking and choosing the verses and chapters that sound sweet to your ears. .... If beating children was really effective then African kids would have been leading the world today |

phyl123: You are right to some extent. My dad never beat me and maybe once or twice in my life I got a whoop with my mum’s wooden spoon. Generally my parents talked to me when I got out of line and I felt so bad when I disappointed them. That disappointed look was enough for me and I understand that it doesn’t work for all kids. Violently beating up a kid until you bruise them is not discipline, like you said some of those kid’s end up fighting their parents when to grow up and resentment sets in in some cases. There are so many ways by taking away what they cherish e.g tv, games, playing with friends, gifts , naughty steps. Parents that beat their kids have no patience and have a problem themselves. Well said my brother... beating is not the key for discipline in today’s world especially overseas |

famzynet: If the statistics of Nigeria having more crime than the UK were true,it would have to do with lesser chances of catching criminals in Nigeria than in the UK. If UK were to be a country where people commit crime and easily get away with it,I think its crime rate will be much higher than Nigeria. Also,most people who commit crimes in Nigeria come from broken homes or from homes with so many children that can't be taken care off so most of them end up being drop outs from schools and subsequently go into crime.
In addition,the general poor living standard and high unemployment rate in Nigeria despite individual efforts force some percentage of people in Nigeria into crime. Just picture having the UK people under the harsh economy condition of Nigeria and tell me if they won't have burned down the country. If there were jobs in Nigeria that can fetch everyone daily meals with some savings in pockets, and people get caught when crime is commited, the crime rate will be drastically reduced.
Compare the average teenager from Nigeria and that from the UK ,which of them have better manners ,respect and a sense of responsiblities? Really most people who commit crime in Nigeria come from a broken home  Maybe you came from a different Nigeria from me. Also wether you come from rich or poor home doesn’t determine if you’ll end up being a criminal or not... ... and the beating you parents have to u didn’t shape you into who you are ... you shaped yourself into who you are.. I’ve got friends with rich parents all in Abuja that indulge in illicit drugs and other criminality, I’ve also know people from poor homes that worked hard and changed the there family Futune..... I personally was raised just by my dad (broken home in your words), yet I turned out good. So I don’t know where you got that information from.. Finally if you know beating children is ok, I dare you to do it in public Let’s see how brave you are |

LagosismyHome: That excessive beating in nigeria damages a child and truly has no place in today's society. For me if you must beat definitely with moderation
However domestic violence and beating with moderation are two separate things ooo. Why must they go hand in hand. I was beaten as a child however I never saw my parents argue one day not to talk of fight or hitting each other . I am sure they argued like any couple but I never saw it done in front of me . Not one day
But if any child misbehaved in my house, the brain was tuned to reset... so in my experience there was no correlation between that and domestic violence against spouse . Although the beating in my house wasnt excessive and was in moderation looking back ... Ok .... let’s agree to disagree....let everybody bring up/ raise there children to the best of there ability and make we leave the rest to God... |

Beating children goes beyond the physical impact ... it destroys them emotionally and psychologically........ a lot of men can’t express themselves emotionally because of the beatings and abuses they received as children ......

I am a product of better beating/flogging by both my parents, teachers and relations and bullies in school. However I’m not in favour of beating my children because I don’t think it’s effect in the UK and I don’t want issues with social services. ...
There are a lot of ways to discipline you children without physically harming them. For instance I seize there toys, I send them to do time out in the toilet of in there room, I take away the privilege of watching cartoons. After the timeout I call them out and we have a discussion so they understand why I did that to them and they say sorry we get back to being normal.
If we say beating children is very effective, then why are there loads of criminals, cultist, armed robbers in our secondary schools and universities in Nigeria ? If we say beating is very effective and in UK beating is not allowed, then there would have been more crime in Uk when compared to Nigeria, but this is not the case.
Children these days are very smart. They learn very fast from there parents, tv, internet and other children ...... We should all take it easy when dealing with our children in this country before social service will take you child away from you and there’s nothing you can do about it ....
My partner is a teacher and I know how many children from Africa and Asian families that have been reported to social service ....... |

Look at the reasons for refusal?on several occasions you’ve declared that you’ve not been married before ...At the same time you married with two spouse simultaneously ? .. My advice would be you go back to the drawing board and (1) divorce one of your husbands and (2) provide proof of this divorce (3) Also in the future be honest and declare all your marriages.... (4) Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming any agent ( you are an adult if you see someone using your details to commit fraud confront them ....... (5) let your current husband take lead and provide all the required proof that your marriage this time is genuine... Goodluck |
