    One correction from this video, it is not true that when you have different date of birth, it will lead to a ban. That is never ever true. There is a reason why there is something we call “affidavit and gazetting”. Sometimes the awarding institution like WAEC can do mistakes on your Cert or even your guardian can provide wrong information on your behalf while you were very young. So those stuff can be corrected legally through Affidavit and Gazetting.

Can u simply put that sum in my account for 24h and then take it off n give the receipts to the embassy ? Or do I need to block them for an entire year ?
    Also, I have a friend that could possibly sponsor me and he is German. Can u tell me what kind of papers he needs to do that ?
