Update.

Well the visa recollection has started. Got my Togolese one today. The Togo High Commissioner had somehow heard about my plight and did the visa on the spot, wavering the twenty cedi expense. Tomorrow I will go back to the Nigerian embassy armed with all the forms I can. Lets hope the Nigerian High Commissioner is as nice as the Togolese one as I know of five other European travellers who've been rejected from there recently...
