I will not advise anyone to try it only if you mail the airline and they confirm via email atleast the wont be able to deny when you reach the airport.

There is Dr. M.....u of St. F hospital in California. you know how I found out about him? There's this thread on Nairaland where women share their experiences on childbirth in US, cost and procedures. And there has been a lot of talk about California being very cheap.
Maybe you should look for it and read through it.

Dear Mamas,
Gave birth yesterday to a bouncing baby boy @ north side atlanta. Dr V.Andrews is my obgyn but didn't take delivery.
Please I will be back to give my birth story but I need to know about circumcision at north side.

Iinitially I planned to do it in naija since Dr Andrews fee for circumcision is 495 but the nurses here are encouraging me to do it at north side though they claim not to know the cost and the billing department isn't open weekends.

Please any North side mama with boys? Please help.

Also I was asked if I wanted TDap vaccine for myself but I declined it cos I don't know if it is free and they said it wasn't compulsory. Did any north side mama take TDap?

Please help urgently. Thank you!

God bless youuuuuuuu! Chai! Make I bluetooth you correct hug!

Case closed!

firsttymum:
the hospital fee u r quoting isn't correct. The actual hospital fee is inclusive of what u mentioned.

Feddy27 Abeg how much is it again

Kemo88:
Hi everyone,
Please what's this news about Nigerian embassy not giving ETC to minors anymore? I'm freaking out cos my travel date is soon. Please is this true?
P.s: I don't know if this issue has been addressed here already. My apologies

Ajujuju2:


Hmmmm ds matter isnt always strait forward o.
My advise?? Contact ur airline first.

I flew Air France and dy were already asking me for babys visa/passport from IAH. Infct d babe dat attended to me must have been new because she attempted to input the E.T.C detail and it dint enter. Den she called her manager. Its d manager that told her what the etc was and how to input it. She said foreigners needed to hav some travel document to fly.

So me thinks ts subject to airline. Plus ds ur quote can be interpreted two ways. Saying
a) minors dnt need a visa[b] if mentioned on the passport of the person accompanying them[/b]
b) saying minors entering for the first time

if the clauses are read as one den ur deduction may not be correct.

Once again unfortunately naija no de help im people. Even if d baby can enter free d immigration pipu will want their share of your abroad money...thinking if u can birth abroad den u can dash dem some dollar's too. Because can anybody explainwill (.. in blazes) our immigration will be charging us in dollars? $200? Do dy hav dollar account? Is naija a dollar economy? Dey will end up changing it at travelex for N360 -$1 and pay 20k into government purse....nonsense!

If na only me de hia dem no go see chop o. Becauz il rather pay $350 abroad dan giv dem $1 hia. Nonsense.

ajiedeko:
@Kemo88,

It's very true o. Heard same today. You have to get a visa or passport instead. This visa on arrival might not be a bad idea.
