*Ten-Year Visa Ban: A Reality for Many Nigerians Using Visa Package* As I sit here, I'm thinking about the countless Nigerians who have been banned from traveling to their dream destinations. I just read a heartbreaking refusal letter from a lady who contacted me while I was in church. She was banned from traveling to the UK for ten years. Although she claimed she didn't know her agent submitted a fake account. The painful part is that her marriage is on the verge of collapse because her husband is still struggling to get his ILR /permanent residence in the UK, so he isn't ready to come back to Nigeria. “Shey this marriage never break like this” at least I know how cold the weather is in the UK. *Don't Let This Happen to You* Abeg, don't make the same mistake. Don't let your desperation to travel abroad cloud your judgment. Avoid agents who promise to provide all the documents. Infact, run away from visa packages like "pay when the visa is released." This can lead to serious trouble and even a ten-year ban in most cases. *Think About Your Future* Imagine if you were banned from traveling to the UK, Canada, USA, Australia, or Europe for ten years. How would you feel? Think about the opportunities you'll miss, the memories you'll never make if you allow an agent to package you with fake documents. *My Advice* Don't let your desire to travel abroad destroy your future. Be honest with yourself, be patient, be careful. If you don't have the documents, don't apply. Don't fall for agents who promise to provide all the documents. Or else, "na wahala you want create for yourself, later you go dey blame the innocent devil for the problem you created for yourself". It's high time we stopped tempting God by applying for visas we aren't qualified for, yet saying what God cannot do doesn't exist. *There is Hope* Anyway, if you have created this problem for yourself and have been banned, hmmmm... I can only say don't give up. There is hope.
