UK REVERSES THE £3,000 ENTRY BOND ON NIGERIANS

A spokesman for Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Ministry told Press in Abuja yesterday that the United Kingdom has rescinded its plan to place a £3,000 bond on Nigerians seeking entry to the country,  The Sunday Times of London had quoted UK Home Secretary Theresa May (23/6/2013) as saying that a pilot scheme that would target visitors from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Ghana would take off in November under which travellers from those countries would pay a cash deposit of £3,000 to deter immigration abuse.

The spokesman for the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Nigeria  in Abuja, Mr. Ode Ogbole, when contacted, replied via text message that: “It’s been rescinded”. He did not give further details and did not answer subsequent telephone calls. Another official of the ministry of foreign affair in Nigeria who chose to remain anonymous also told said that a message from the UK government rescinding the plan had been sent to the Presidency.

Earlier yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister Olugbenga Ashiru told journalists at the ministerial platform commemorating the mid-term anniversary of the Jonathan administration that no official communication had been received from the British government by Nigeria on the subject assuring Nigerians that the  government is always ready to defend and protect them all over the world. The House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee has described the proposed UK entry bond as discriminatory and unacceptable. “This is totally discriminatory and unacceptable. It is targeted to non-white Commonwealth. We would take a critical look at the policy as it affects Nigerians and come up with a way forward,” committee chairman Rep. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje (PDP Abia) said in a statement.

NIGERIANS AND SOME ASIAN COUNTRY NATIONALS TO PAY A SUM OF £3,000 ‘BOND’ FEE TO VISIT the UK

Visitors from Nigeria and other “high risk” countries in Asia and Africa such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Ghana will be forced to pay a £3,000 cash bond (that is about #700,000.00) before they can enter United Kingdom.

The enforcement of the payment of the fee will commence fully From November which is when  a pilot scheme that will target visitors from the listed countries will take effect. The visitors will forfeit the £3,000 if they overstay in Britain and fail to return to their home countries by the time their visa has expired.

The controversial move by the UK home secretary, Theresa May, to introduce the Australian-style system reflects her determination to show that the Conservatives are serious about cutting immigration in the UK.

Ms May said: “This is the next step in making sure our immigration system is more selective, bringing down net migration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands, while still welcoming the brightest and the best to Britain.”

She added: “In the long run we’re interested in a system of bonds that deters overstaying and recovers costs if a foreign national has used our public services.”

The Home Office is targeting countries which have high volumes of visitor visa applications and what it deems to be relatively high levels of fraud and abuse.

NIGERIAN SUPER EAGLE WHOOPED BY SPAIN YESTERDAY

Nigerian super eagle has been trashed out of the 2013 confederation cup by spain yesterday after a 3 – 0 game. The 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, the ninth FIFA Confederations Cup, is an international association football tournament currently being held in Brazil, as a prelude to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The eight-team tournament began on 15 June 2013 and will conclude with the final on 30 June 2013. Host nation Brazil are also the defending champions.

If one would analyse the players; we would have  Nig vs Spain: Spain (8 Barca players,2 Madrid players) vs Nigeria (1 chelsea player, Enyeama & 9 moving objects). Funny but that is what the game yesterday was like. I can assure you that many Nigerians did not watch the match because the already correctly predicted a defeat for the super eagle. But even at that I would still say that the Nigerian team were just SUPERB. They tried their best even though the match was that of an inexperienced team against a bunch of champions. Although a miracle would not have been out of place considering the fact that that is what the fans of super eagle were relying on, it just didn’t happen.

My little Advice 4 the Coach is 4 him 2 reconcile with all super eagle Star and experience players in the likes of Osaze Odemiwighe and co 2 stand in 4 others incase of injuries. The Spain was not in any way better than us but we were inexperienced in all ramifications.

STEPS TO ONLINE MINI IMPORTATION BUSINESS IN NIGERIA (START WITH AS LOW AS 10000 NAIRA)

STEPS TO ONLINE MINI IMPORTATION BUSINESS IN NIGERIA (START WITH AS LOW AS 10000 NAIRA)

v A means to make payment to the site – I use a debit ATM card issued by a Nigerians bank; yes, a Nigerian bank known as United Bank of Africa (UBA). The name of the card is UBA Africard;

The card can be gotten from any branch of UBA. You don‟t need to be an account holder with the bank to apply for this card.

All you need is a valid identity which should be any of international passport, drivers‟ license or national ID card and a minimum of N500 (five hundred naira), though some persons have claimed that they got theirs without paying a dime.

v A Valid Home Address – This is very important. Even though most courier companies would prefer to call you up to come pick up your item from their office, you need to make sure the address you use as your shipping address is easily traceable.

In cases the item is sent to your address, you might end up not receiving your package if you filled in an invalid address –If you are not too sure about it or If you think your address is not traceable, please use your office address or a friend’s address that is ok.

Example of a traceable adress; “No.50 murtalla muhammed Street, Off first Avenue, Gwarimpa Abuja”

FATAI ROLLING DOLLAR DIES: NIGERIA'S JONATHAN PAYS TRIBUTE

Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has paid tribute to veteran highlife musician Fatai Rolling Dollar who died on Wednesday.

The guitarist and singer had "enthralled his teeming followers" during a career of more than 64 years, Mr Jonathan said.

Fatai was best known for his song, They Cannot Match Us, which criticised younger generations.

The exact cause of Fatai's death, or his age, is not known.

He died after more than 10 days in a coma, and was aged either 85 or 87, Nigeria's This Day newspaper reports.

But he was still touring the US tour just a few weeks ago.

In highlife's golden era in the 1950s and 1960s, Fatai, whose real name was Fatai Olagunju, was a nationally celebrated performer.

But he then disappeared from the music scene for about 25 years and battled poverty in Lagos before making a comeback in the past decade.

Musician Ade Bantu told the BBC that Fatai had lost none of his talent and was still entertaining on stage.

"You are talking about a gentlemen in his 80s still performing and recording and playing very well - he was like a metronome."

'Lazy'

Mr Jonathan believed the vacuum Fatai's death has created in the Nigerian entertainment industry will be hard to fill, his statement said.

In the 1950s, Fatai is said to have revolutionized the agidigbo or thumb piano - which he then moved onto the guitar.

The BBC's Will Ross in Lagos says the musician was influenced by Ghana's highlife scene, as well as calypso from the Caribbean.

His music was a great influence on other Nigerian musicians, including Fela Kuti.

In an interview with AFP new agency more than a year ago, Fatai bemoaned the hip-hop music that now dominates in Nigeria.

He said "a good musician should know how to play any instrument", showing his irritation with artists he accused of sometimes being "lazy" and simply seeking "easy money", AFP reports.

MOVEMENT OF SCRAP AIRPLANE CAUSES PANIC IN LAGOS - NIGERIA

 TODAY 13 June 2013 has been a very beautiful day except for the fearful news that was spreading on social media during the early hours of this morning that there has been a plane crash in  Igando, a Lagos suburb. The National Emergency Management Agency NEMA spokesperson for South-West, Ibrahim Farinloye debunked the rumour saying that it was a scrap airplane that is being evacuated from the airport. He clarified that the aircraft was at Mangoro and not Igando as was being circulated in social media.

 "It was just the scrap of an aircraft that was being evacuated from the airport, the federal government had issued a directive that all scrap aircraft be evacuated from all airports, as well as scrap ships from our waterways," Mr. Farinloye told news men. He further said that "The evacuation is usually done at night to forestall this kind of public misinformation by mischief makers. We were there at 11.20 p.m. yesterday," he added.

The airplane that triggered this whole panic is a junk plane belonging to late Gabriel Oduyemi founder of Bethel Ministries. The American registered aircraft, marked- N972TF, with inscription G O, Gabriel Oduyemi Crusades was being towed from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja area of Lagos and dumped near Dapsey petrol station in Igando area of the state. The Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, Engineer Nnamdi Udoh said in a statement that the aircraft belonging to the late clergyman had long been parked at a NAMA facility up till Wednesday night when it was eventually removed. Udoh said the aircraft was released to Captain M.J.Ekeinde who will be using it for educational purposes in Badagry, Lagos. He said a cross section of the wings was removed to ease transportation to its new location.
