UK visitor visa just changed. If you’re applying this year, read this carefully.
From 25 February 2026, the UK stopped issuing visa stickers for most visitor visas.
That means if your visa is approved:
• Nothing will be pasted inside your passport
• Your visa will now be fully digital (eVisa)
• Your immigration status will be linked to your UKVI account
Instead of showing a visa sticker, airlines and border officers will verify your permission to travel digitally through the UK system.
So if you’re applying this year, you should understand a few things:
1. How to access your UKVI account
2. How your passport is linked to your eVisa
3. How to prove your immigration status online
4.Why your passport may come back without any visa inside
A lot of people still expect to see a visa sticker in their passport. That system is now being phased out as the UK moves to a fully digital immigration system.
If you’re planning a UK trip this year, understand the process before you apply.

HOW TO RENEW NIGERIAN PASSPORT USING SELF ENROLMENT
If you’re thinking of renewing your Nigerian passport, self enrolment makes the process way easier. Saves you the stress of travelling to London, no agent. no long stress. Here’s how it works ⬇️
1)If you live in the UK, buy a house as soon as you can afford a mortgage, you will be glad you did later.
2)Open a junior ISA for each of your kids and make monthly contributions for them till they turn 18.
3)Try to save a certain amount of money every month no matter how little and try not to touch it. Just have at the back of your mind that any month you didn’t save anything, you haven’t worked.
4) Stop having multiple girlfriends, you will be shocked how much you will save monthly when you stop tasting the microphone 1,2.
5) stop betting, nothing sets you back more than 2 sure odds.
Recently got these new perfumes and not 2 overhype, they are so good! And tell me why the second one has me sniffing myself every 5 minutes?😭 I fear I might have found my signature scent coz it entered my heart directly.
If you’re looking for a sign 2 switch perfumes, dis is it!
If you’re in the UK, I recommend Shepherds Friendly. I opened an account for Jamal last month with £300 deposit and they added £100 to it. Customer service is also friendly, a win

Your parents could have shares and unclaimed dividends worth millions of naira that’s existing somewhere that they don’t remember. Just ran a search for a friend dad and found he has shares with over 3 million with Conoil since the 90s. Man doesn’t even remember anymore 😩
