China Nicky Refused Entry Visa to UK!
The Consular Service of the British High Commission in Freetown has denied China Nicky an entry Visa to the United Kingdom on grounds that she had neither a regular job nor any source of stable income.
China Nicky who has become a big star in Sierra Leone after convincingly winning the Big Sister television competition had been promised a trip to London by the Tourism minister as part of her prize package.
China Nicky applied for a Sierra Leone passport amidst fanfare only for her spirit of travelling abroad for the first time to thrown into the ocean.
In the Visa rejection note, the consul noted among other things, that China Nicky stated in her visa application that she earned 150 without specifying the type of currency.
The consul concluded that there was no guarantee that China Nicky would return to Sierra Leone after completing the ten-day World Trade Market given her personal economic circumstances.
The struggle for China Nicky continues in Freetown!
