Thanks be to God.. arrived safely in Rome.

As per point of entry experience...nothing was asked. I just showed them my letter of admission, my passport was stamped and the dude said "Bienvenuto"


Ethiopian airlines ticket prices varies... depends on when and where you purchased yours.

no internet all through until I touched down... my fair was rather expensive, 292k for a one-way ticket... you should be able to get something cheaper than that.

It's like many people here have gotten their visa, but my question is why is it that some people's visa processing time last for only 6 -8 days and their visa is out, why for some it last from 15- 30days?

Well my observations are that (1) denial cases are more likely than not to take more than 15 days to prepare (2) if the application is from VFS, particularly that of Abuja, it may take up to or more than 15 days (3) and sometime if the date of departure is still far off, it may make them attend to more urgent travelers first for humanitarian sake... not necessarily always in the FIFO order (4) and for some inexplicable reason some document and identity may need further verification before being cleared.

But applying directly at the embassy or at VFS Lagos may mitigate or shorten the time, especially against embassy deadlines.
