My Friends V!SA was Rejected yesterday just because of one small Mistake.
Come and see the way she was crying
In this Life ehn,
You see those little things wey you no gree take serious, na dem dey always cause problem for most people at the point of doing great things.
She said Atanda, they denied my V!SA just because my surname was wrongly written as First Name on my documents.
For dis Nigeria eh, We are used to the arrangements of our names as Surnames first, followed by other name and first name.
But during documentation, dem sabi scatter this things sometimes and dem sabi change the name too
But if you understand it now, you will never miss it again.
So allow Atanda break it down for you
LAST NAME/SURNAME ; This is your Fathers Name or Family Name.
No let am confuse you, Surname and Last name mean the same thing
OTHER NAME/MIDDLE NAME; This is that name you have that people don't call you regularly
FIRST NAME; This one na that name wey everybody dey call you daily
MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME; This is the surname of your mother before she got married to your father.
STATE OF ORIGIN; This is the State where your father comes from.
STATE OF RESIDENCE; This is the State where you are staying currently as at that time you are filling that form.
GUARDIAN; your guardian can be anybody not necessarily your parents.
You can choose anyone to be your your Guardian as an adult. So na u sabi who u wan choose to be your Guardian
I have seen someone whose surname on BVN is placed as First Name on NIN. 😀
Wahala...
The truth is that, once you make such mistake.
The two documents does not belong to you anymore cos they bear different names and can't be used to process anything meaningful without you correcting it first.
So don't make this mistake
In some c0untries, you can be arr£sted and imprins0ned for this mistake because they will assume you f0rged the documents
And your ignorance won't save you because all over the world, ignorance of the law is not an excuse
