What's Going on over at the visa office?

Sorry for the lack of updates, I have recently returned to Nigeria after an easter holiday. I didn't manage to take time to update this except for a couple of pictures.

Take a look at the captioned link.

I don't really know what's going on, I'm wondering if this explains why Nanayahs visa application was recently refused despite us providing adequate documentation. Why is it that 80% of visa applications fail? it costs aproximately £40 to apply for a six month visa, whether successful or not. I don't see how 80% can fail when it takes so much effort and money to apply.

Now I'm thinking that there's some kind of scam going on making money for the FO or the Nigeria banks.

I am looking into the Human Rights Act to see how it affects High Commissions and Embassies. I shouldn't think it's legal to refuse service to a particular age group without a good reason, (like not selling alcohol to children). Something's up and I want to know what.

I promise a proper update sometime soon.

Same scam going on with all the embassies in Nigeria as well, where you pay 70GBP or $100 for a visa application and your appl is refused without the visa officer looking at your documents! OR saying that you don't have sufficient ties to your homeland! How crappy can that get?!!
Now when you consider the number of Nigerians, who have very good jobs and want to go on hoilday and pay for the application and are refused, then you can imagine the amount of money being made by these Embassies and High Comms.
