Don’t try it. Based on experience, don’t try to leave Nigeria before 19. Don’t try it or you will be back in this Naija

jamebex:


Am having the same issue, what could be the cause?

I really don’t know. I guess students are complaining heavily at the TLS Ikeja center and maybe to dates are just to reduce noise. But nothing about TLS Ikeja is making sense about dates on their website

bikerchiek3:


Available on the website?

Yes. But have you been able to book an appointment? Because a friend that I am doing it for is unable to book despite seeing the date on the TLS Ikeja website

Matmag1:
Good day duchess and all group members.
Please I need your insight on this current situation of mine, I am single with no kids but in a relationship of about 4 years with a lady that moved to UAE on a work visa a year ago. We are still very much into each other and communicate very well.

I'm at the stage of putting in for my student visa application having gotten admission for Sept 2022 intake with cas number so I'm considering adding her as a de facto partner (secondary applicant) on my student application so that she can join me probably by Jan 2023. By then we would have done our court and traditional wedding. How best can I go about it or what alternative way can i explore to bring her into the uk within the six months of starting my msc programme?
Thanks

My brother, please apply alone and go first. Don’t even link her as your partner now. When you get there and you still feel this same way, you can get court marriage and ask her to apply for dependent visa.

Because if anything goes wrong and you fall for someone else or you discover something off about her, you’re stuck o.

Kalakris:


Someone should please respond to this

Based on experience, they should stick to the different address they both provided at IOM. IOM shares its information with the UKVI. You don’t want provide something different in your VISA application.

EllyCiciCarter:
I just booked on TLS. For people having issues, act fast.

Did you get a copy of the appointment date in your email?

blackeni:
TLS Ikeja has opened 2 days in august kindly utilize this opportunity to book an appointment to be eligible to qualify for the walk-in service

Did you get a copy of the appointment date in your email? Because I didn’t get one but it’s reflecting on my TLS portal.

Susky:
Pls If i try to amend my appointment and i did not get a date or a nearer date, can i still retain my previous appointment date?

Did you get an appointment?

OdogwuEkeke:
I have the same problem

Change it to Self Service instead of Assisted Service. You should get a date afterwards.

Tosin Durodola, a 24-year old scholar from the University of Ibadan who recently obtained M.A in African Studies (Diaspora and Transnational Studies) with a CGPA of 6.7/7.0, has emerged runner-up of the 5th Border Criminologies Dissertation Prize for 2021.

The award was put together by Routledge and Oxford University’s Centre for Criminology and Border Criminologies to support early career researchers working on citizenship, migration and the intersections between border controls and criminal justice.

Durodola, whose Master’s thesis is entitled: 'Narratives of the Journey to Exile and Transformative Agency of Residual Liberian Refugees in Oru, Southwestern Nigeria', won the second place which attracts £200 and £100 worth of Routledge books. His research was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Senayon Olaoluwa at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan. Tiphaine Le Corre from University of Oxford won the first place with the thesis titled: 'The Politics of Deterring Unwanted Immigration to the United Kingdom'.

Prof. Mary Bosworth, Director of the Centre for Criminology and Director of Border Criminologies, University of Oxford, disclosed this on Thursday in a newsletter.

According to the official statement, Durodola and Tiphaine beat a strong shortlist of 10 others from universities in Europe, Asia and other African countries to win the prize. The competition was judged by a panel made up of academics and members of the Border Criminologies’ core team and the Advisory Group. The Panel assessed the dissertation in terms of its quality and originality, and its contribution to the body of knowledge about border control and migration.

Durodola set a new record by becoming the first African and postgraduate student from a University in the Global South to make the top two places of the Border Criminologies Masters’ Dissertation/Thesis Prize since the inception of the competition. The past winners and runners-up of the award were from Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow and Amsterdam Universities.

Earlier in August 2021, Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi appointed Tosin Durodola as his Special Assistant on Digital Communications. The appointment made him the youngest political appointee in the state, and further reinforces his outstanding abilities and intellectual foresight.
