One HGV belonging to a company whose folks on the inside work with the smugglers.Very straight-forward journey.They came into our continent without permission so I go into their's without permission too. cool

It also helps to fortify yourself with powerful "Ogwu" or charms from back home.You will be virtually invisible to immigration. wink

Visa rejection is not the end of the world. My philosophy is "when one door shuts, another opens elsewhere". I have had dissapointments, though not visa related but have always managed to rise above them all.

Look,we can start from Onitsha Head Bridge.That is the collection point.My guy works with the Army.From Onitsha,we took a bus to Gusau.From Gusau,we crossed the border into Niger. From there to Morocco.

I'm not saying people shouldn't use visas but there are other alternatives.

Leave them,let white people be chopping their money.Our people will never learn,there is an old Russian saying,"zagnief ignatief putin"(people struggle in life when they fail to exploit other alternatives)

Why use only the visa route when you can try other routes? You can try the visa one first,if it doesn't work,then you should try this.A friend of mine just came into Spain via Thailand using the same route.

How would you know if people are "lazy" if you have never been in their shoes? Living in Nigeria for some is like living in a jungle. A lot of basic amenities taken for granted in the UK like running water, electricity, good roads, good transport links, good education, shopping malls are very limited for most and the average wage for some earners is less than £5 per week. These are people who probably have families, maybe more educated than you but the opportunities are simply not there, or if they are have been subjected to nepotism, as happens a lot in the Nigerian culture. Sometimes it is "who you know" that matters and leads to the right connection.

I am not advocating we all abandon our "beloved" country, but for some, when you get an opportunity to see a different way of life, why would you want to go back into obscurity?

Practically, i cant believe you all, why is it that we like talking about negetive things in life, those it help us move forward, those bitterness, anguis, failure and refusal makes us smile, in some cirumstances they are stumbling blocks to sucess, but face it, i rather see a thread that talks about how our fellow m8ts made it, how he got his visa, how she said yes to him, how he finally got admission to school and other testimonies that would give hope, because if God can do it for bro A he can do it for sis B,
pls lets not discourage each other by how we were denied, i am saying this because i got an offer in sheffield hallam university, i love the place and would apply for a visa soon and i refuse to believe or allow myself to think that i would be denied.
scientist talked about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), NLP is the study of how language, both verbal and nonverbal, affects our minds. By
consciously directing our minds, we can create resourceful ways of behaving for ourseleves.

the truth is if your paper work is genuine, you would get a visa, most people get turned down because they do not have the right peper work, and all they wanna do is go to that country and stay there for life disgracing the nigerian name. sad

That not very true my guy.

many people with perfect paperwork get turned down daily for flimsy reasons.

The embassies realized the more they turn people down, the more they generate cash 'cos people come back to try their luck.
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by tinard(m): 12:24pm On Apr 08, 2008
I always believe that any Nigerian with enough money for visa and ticket is comfortable enough in Nigeria. Why are you going make yourself better in Nigeria with that money and apply when the time is right. You will be given, they will be begging you to come to their country.

@ author, if rejected there is no need to feel like killing yourself. there are worse things in the world. If you feel like killing yourself when you've been rejected, what would you feel if you are given, you travel, but you do not make it. Then you will not think about it, you act on it so think
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by bazzman(f): 1:25am On Apr 09, 2008
It seems that these applicants have forgotten they are Nigerians, How on earth a Nigerian would want to apply for a tourist visa, cos being a tourist means u ar nt going for business rather u are going to spend over there, and u know that u are definately not going to tour and return so I advise you not to apply as a tourist,

If you really wanna tour, have u checked out Obudu? Incase u change ur mind, dont travel to Obudu by air, u may get there in fragments, thanks to our airlines.
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by amaikama(m): 10:18am On Apr 12, 2008
Why? since u are the one eager to leave ur country to his country (s) they would want to prove their country is not a go area by refusing to grant u visa. u can come with the non-refundable visa fees as many times as possible and they will still not grant u one. if u like go and commit suicid is non of their business as long as they have gotten the much money and still getting much more from the unfortunate visa applicant like u, it doesn't boarder them if u die or not.

One out of hundred visa applican does that make any difference if u die or got frustated? angry

yeah people with genuine and complete papers experience visa refusal.am a good example. i applied for student visa.bt i was refused.the officer wrote that there were no papers supporting my sponsor's (my mum) financial capability.Guess w@, my mum 's statement of account was actually dere.nd i dnt want even mention how much was in her account.bt trust me it was a huge sum also supported with properties in the uk.She stays in the uk.The annoying thing is that the document they claimed wasnt dere was returned with my letter of refusal.See injustice.

that day i felt like kidnapping any white man or woman i saw.trust visa is just luck and favour.i know people who use all fake documents and are given.am stil given it a tot though.lol.

Visa Rejection is an awful experience, I tell you from experience. But you do not have to go through the horror when you have the shoulders of others to climb on. Travelling either for studies, tourism or business is an experience we all can have if we know the right procedures. We may personally not be comfortable with the rates of Visa Rejection but it is believed that it can be reduced with access to appropriate knowledge. If you are willing to climb on the shoulders of others to get things done right at the first attempt then perhaps you should consider eimiren; on the yahoo.com network.  Do it right the first time or correct the mistakes that lead to the Visa Rejection by seeking to know the right procedures; or would you rather keep on experiencing the depressing feelings of Visa Rejection?
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by femikay149(m): 10:21am On Apr 17, 2008
emirem, please right procedures or not,you can always be refused visa.i have used a very reliable agency for student visa and we used the right procedures and was stil refused.my friend that did all the procedures all by himself got his visa.

See guys, visa is just luck and favour. The embassy decides who they want to give and who they don't want to give, its their discretion.any entry clearance officer will tell you that

Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by danedrol: 1:38am On May 20, 2008
A visa is an official stamp of the embassy or high commission of a country in an individual’s passport or traveling document. It officially authorizes him/her to travel to that country for a period of time which is ususlly stated on the visa. The visa is usually granted for a specific purpose.

An individual may be denied entry into a country where he/she has no valid entry visa. Such an individual may be repatriated if he/she manages to enter the country and is later discovered.

Any person who satisfies the visa rules and regulations of a particular county may be issued a visa. More often than not, people get denied visas [/b]not because they are not qualified for it, but [b]because they fail to take advantage of simple and available information resources [/b]that will help them to understand what a visa officer really requires from them. Suggestions of what to do before applying for a visa to any country of your choice without any fear of visa-rejection can be found at an informative site, [b]ServiceForts.
