A man has sparked discussions online after claiming that his Caribbean passport helped him obtain approval for a UK travel authorisation in less than a minute, contrasting the experience with the lengthy visa application process he encountered using his Nigerian passport.

In a viral video, the man displayed his Caribbean passport and recounted how he decided to check the UK travel requirements after a conversation with a woman who suggested they travel to the United Kingdom.

According to him, he initially expressed concern that he did not have a visa. However, the woman reportedly pointed out that his Caribbean passport might make the process easier.

Compares UK and Canadian visa applications

The man said he decided to apply for the UK electronic travel authorisation (ETA) online and was surprised by how quickly he received approval.

He explained that the approval came almost immediately after he completed and submitted the application.

“I applied for UK visa and ETA online. I got an approval in less than two minutes, less than one minute. Immediately I filled the application, I submitted, I just got a mail that I’ve been approved,” he said.

He attributed the quick approval to his Caribbean passport, although he did not specify the country that issued it.

The man also compared the experience with his previous attempt to obtain a Canadian visa using his Nigerian passport.

According to him, the Canadian visa application took between six and seven months before approval, prompting him to consider applying again with his other passport.

He said the subsequent application took approximately four weeks, after which he received a six-year visa.

Advises young Nigerians to invest in passports

Reflecting on his experiences, the man encouraged young Nigerians who have the financial means to consider obtaining a second passport rather than spending their money on what he described as unnecessary activities.

“If you’re a young man and you have money, please, instead of using your money to go to the club and spend your money on all these unnecessary things, use the money to go and get this passport. It will save you a lot of stress,” he said.

He added that people who had followed his previous advice were pleased with the outcome and expressed confidence that others could benefit from similar experiences.

However, the ease of obtaining travel authorisation depends on the passport holder’s nationality, the destination country’s immigration rules and individual eligibility.

His account does not establish that all Caribbean passport holders receive automatic or immediate approval.

A Nigerian student has recounted an unpleasant experience with a family member who allegedly served them mostly bony meat while other people in the household enjoyed better portions during Christmas.

The student shared the experience after being unable to travel home from university for the festive season and deciding to stay with a relative instead.

According to the account, the family slaughtered a goat for the celebration, but the student noticed that the meat served to them was mostly bones, while other household members appeared to receive better cuts.

Feeling unfairly treated, the student decided to take matters into their own hands rather than confront the family member directly.

Student takes a different approach to the situation

Recounting the incident, the student said, “i just vex, go order food with turkey dey chop am for their parlor”.

Rather than continue eating the food served to them, the student ordered a separate meal with turkey and ate it in the family’s parlour.

The decision appeared to be a way of expressing displeasure over what they perceived as unfair treatment while staying under the same roof as their relatives.

The account did not identify the family member involved or disclose where the incident occurred.

Christmas food experience sparks conversation about family treatment

The experience highlights how seemingly small incidents involving food and hospitality can leave people feeling unwelcome, particularly during festive gatherings.

For students who cannot travel home during Christmas, staying with relatives may provide an alternative, but the quality of their experience can depend on how they are treated.

The student’s account also raises questions about fairness and consideration when sharing food among family members and guests.

However, no further details were provided about the relative’s intentions or whether the issue was eventually discussed within the family.

A Nigerian man has recounted how his girlfriend, a nurse who once supported him financially and bought him his first Samsung phone, left him heartbroken after marrying his friend while he was at university.

The man said their relationship began around 2012 or 2013, when the woman was in charge of his community health centre. According to him, she supported his education and even gave him her ATM card to cover his admission expenses.

However, things changed after he gained admission into university and began concentrating on his studies.

He explained that he had vowed not to date any woman on campus until he graduated, but his girlfriend reportedly became insecure, fearing that other women had taken her place in his life.

How he discovered his girlfriend’s traditional marriage

The man said he was shocked when his cousin called to inform him that his girlfriend’s traditional  marriage was scheduled to take place in a week.

He initially refused to believe the news until he saw pictures from the event.

According to him, he later discovered that the woman had  married his friend, who used to visit her at the health centre whenever he returned from Onitsha, where he did business.

The revelation left him devastated. He said he rushed home, cried and tore his shirt after learning what had happened.

How his father helped him overcome heartbreak

The man said his family members already knew about the situation and were prepared to comfort him.

His father advised him to focus on loving himself, completing his education and building a better future rather than dwelling on the relationship’s painful ending.

Although moving on was difficult, he said he followed his father’s advice and remained single until he completed university and started working.

He added that he eventually ended his period of being single on January 11, 2020.
