That is quick.

Pls which state or passport office did you do your passport for 7 days?

Festac. However, I used an agent. Just make sure to use a trustworthy agent with good track record.

Don't ask me for the agent contact. Just ask people around you that you trust

Need some advice

I have applied and paid for the renewal in London and will attend data capture on the 11th next month.

However I need to travel on the 15th and will have to go with my expired passport, if the new one does not come on time?


Will I have issues coming back with a British passport if I show proof that I have applied and paid for a renewal in London?

Since you've started the renewal process and have evidence to prove it, you should be fine. They should stamp your expired Nigerian Passport. However you may meet a difficult officer who just want to be difficult. So be ready to part with a fine if they insist.

Going forward, I advice everyone with expired passport who intend travelling to Nigeria to do the renewal in Nigeria as it is faster and cheaper. It took me 3 days to get my passport done in Nigeria and the total amount I paid was 70k (approximately $44). This is way less than the amount I'd paid if I were to do the renewal in yankee.

This is stupidity at the highest level. I took WAEC (GCE) when I was 14 in SS2 and passed. I took JAMB and WASSCE when I was 15 in SS3 and passed. This is unnecessary. They should rather focus on how to provide quality education. Let the parents and the teachers decide if a child should write either WAEC or JAMB.

Mjolnir:
so what of travelling out with soon to expire passport for a nigerian, say your passport is to expire in august, and you want to do a quick internal travel in july to return same july...would you have any issues with the airline or nigerian immigration?.

i have paid for renewal online, but not willing to bribe anybody, so will follow due process which may take months

You are traveling out of Nigeria to a foreign country and back? I don't think you can do that. The airline and the foreign country you are traveling to will not allow it.

LogoDWhiz:


How?

I'd like to learn

The reasoning behind it is to realize that the question is not about just one birthday being duplicated but any birthday so there are actually ²³C₂ ways to get a birthday match. And ²³C₂ is a pretty large number relative to the total possible combinations.

You can see the exact calculation on ChatGPT. I can still explain further if you feel ChatGPT is not explanatory enough.

LogoDWhiz:


The sample size is too big to have such a coincidence.

Makes sense. However you are wrong. The answer doesn't make sense logically but can be proven mathematically. The question is called the Birthday Paradox and the answer is A (over 50% chance).

LogoDWhiz:


I will still choose Close to Zero.

Ok, and what is the reasoning behind your answer? No calculations need to be showed.

harrend:
If the students were up to 32, there would be a 100% probability.
If 16, 50% probability.
If 23, over 50% probability

Ok, and what's the reasoning behind your answer?

LogoDWhiz:
Close to Zero.

The sample size is not properly defined.

What's the age range of the students?

Sample Size is the entire student population in the world. Age Range is not relevant as Birthday is a day and is not dependent on age.

What's the probability that at least two student will have the same birthday in a class of 23? Let's assume there are 365 days in a year.
A. Over 50% chance
B. Less than 4% chance
C. Approximately 6.3% chance
D. Close to 0%

What's your answer and the reason for your answer. No need to show workings, just your reasoning/intuition is all I need.

Many people will fail this question because it is counter intuitive. It defies simple logic.

Why would a Priest declare he is homosexual or heterosexual? Aren't they all celibate?

Olaide1295:
Currently trying to leave Nigeria and I don't have my Nigeria passport. Getting the passport in Nigeria is taking longer that I expected.

If you have made payment for passport renewal and you have your old passport and you also have the passport of the country you intend traveling to, then you will have no issue. Just show the immigration guys the evidence of payment.

erico2k2:

Its a work ID from the Uk, Military and uniform men term to respect it. That's how I did not pay 50K, I'm liable to that 50K.

You were really lucky. Some people miss their flight because of this expired Passport....work ID or no work ID.

Badgers14:


Ok, thanks for clarification.

You get luck sha, you for hear am for airport.

When they catch me, I had to vomit all the hausa that i know (oga at the top was a northerner)

Lol @ bolded.

It could be very frustrating to be harassed and sometimes denied flight out of Nigeria. That's why it is advised to start the passport renewal process once the person lands in Nigeria.

FLYFIRE:

Nyanya nearer to Abuja than Gwarimpa? Excuse me while I laugh
That's what you heard not seen
Nyanya IS in Nasarawa state

What he's trying to imply is that there are some places in Nasarawa that's closer to Abuja metropolis than Gwarimpa.

I have a 2003 Toyota Avalon I bought 1.9m in 2017 that I'm willing to sell. The engine is still good but I'm tired of always fixing the car. So you guys are telling me I can sell it for more than 1 million?

Putindbutt:

Your problem is either English or limited understanding. Let me break it down for you like pry sch kid. We have FX scarcity which is affecting naira-dollar rate. Instead of going to CBN to demand for dollars, NNPCL decided to approach Afrexim for dollar, Ministry of Finance also decided to go to World bank for dollars so that their would be relief on the pressure of dollar on CBN. Nobody is borrowing to defend the naira. Hope you learnt something new.

lol...I see what you are doing. You just want to troll. You are hereby ignored.

Putindbutt:

Cash for crude loan!
No matter the school you went to, if you can't use the brain, you'd still sound like an illiterate. From the link, who borrowed money, NNPCL or CBN?, does it say CBN borrowed money to stabilize naira?. if NNPCL who is the sole importer of fuel and who needs billions of dollars monthly to import fuel deemed it fit to borrow money for its purposes rather than scramble for scarce dollars in the system help reduce dollar demand and stabilize FX, is there anything wrong in that?. when refineries start working and there's no more need to demand dollars to bring in fuel, would CBN not have enough dollars to improve the economy?. I thought you would provide a source where Cardoso was borrowing to defend the naira. Anyways na your problem be dat, ignorance is bliss.

You can certainly engage in conversation without insults, can you? If you can't, I'm sorry I can't help you with that.

To the topic, I never mentioned CBN or Cardoso. I said "government". CBN, Cardoso, NNPCL, Ministry of Finance, etc are all part of the government. None of them are vestiges, they are all very crucial part of the executive arm of this government and any action they take is an executive action on behalf of the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

See link below as well:

Putindbutt:

Which money was borrowed?, you don't understand monetary conditions, you dey here dey cap nonsense and this one was once a moderator, smh

If you didn't know that the Government borrows money to stabilize the naira you are on a long thing.

https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-nnpc-secures-3bn-loan-to-stabilise-the-naira

What happens when that money that was borrowed is exhaused? Borrow more money? And then when that one is exhausted what happens? Back to square one?

This old man is certainly disillusioned. I am sorry but he doesn't sound like someone who has a plan to steer Nigeria in the right direction.

My concern for the country is not even Tinubu. It's the political structure that scares me. There's no viable opposition. People are still putting tribalism above their basic welfare. Politicians are feeding off that tribalism.

Its now that I really understand Fela when he sang the song "suffering and smiling". People from the tribe in power are smiling because their son is the president. People from other tribe are smiling because it's not their son that's making a mess of the country. However everyone is suffering. I'm tired, and I'm waiting for when the rest of Nigerians will be tired so we can take action for the collective interest of our country.

This is a good development. All the buildings where those agencies/parastatals were staying should be evacuated. All workers employed should be absorbed into the parent agency/ministry. The next step however is to set up modalities to ensure that civil servants are efficient in the duties and are not lazying about. Sack or suspend any civil servant who is not serious. However before you do that, you MUST increase their salary. The money saved from this merger can be used to do that.

erico2k2:

Right I arrived safely back in london yesterday.
SO here it goes my experience, when going I was allowed to travel on my expired Nigerian passport, it was signed at arrival in Port Harcourt international vis Lufthansa. Now returning was a different ball game. You are meant to have a valid Nigerian passport or show proof you have paid for a replacement passport if not you will be charged by immigration up to 50K,I saw people being charged, but I have an ID card that meant I was let off, so I did not pay.
SO, in summary, you will need a valid Nigerian passport to leave Nigeria even with your USA or UK passport. (1st hand information here)

Thanks so much for this update. What do you mean by ID Card. Can you explain further. Thanks.
