Can we understand the rational behind foreign embassies requesting tax clearance in visa applications.Morealso UK embassy have in recent times refused Visa/EC on ground of false/forged WAEC certificates.
I can't just get around if they are helping the Federal government of Nigeria to uncover tax defaulters or representing schools in the UK on educational certificate verification when admission is already offered.
NLer what is your take on this ?

The rational behind their request for tax clearance is to determine if you perform ur civic duty as a good citizen, if you dont, it would mean ur not law abiding and they wont expect you to be law abiding when u get to their land, if u cant prove u are in Nigeria! On the issue of WAEC its simple, they need to know u have attained the basic education needed for you to communicated and differential between ur left and right!, most Britons and Americans dont believe we learn anything in school, cos of the kind of class room difficiency they see thro' the news on CNN and other news anchor, Here in the USA the structures, facilities and quality of teachers in High sch is 1000x better than what we have in the Universities back home. Average nigerian is naturally gift, that is why we are able to succeed despite the odds. Those students who fail in Nigerian would do excellently well if they had the opportunity to study here in the USA. Imagine u are at an event and u speak, then someone comes to u and say woooow!, u speak good. For me thats so embarrassing cos' it almost seem as if they werent expecting u to speak good cos u're an African.
