Hello thebaft,

You won't be able to proceed with the 221g appointment. We'll be able to see that your mother was asked to return for interview but that for whatever reason, she didn't or couldn't return within the year's period for the follow-up. We will still be doing essentially the same interview we would have done if she had returned within the year, but it will be with a new receipt.

USMissionNGRA:
Hello thebaft,

Receipts are valid for one year from they day they were purchased. If more than a year has passed since the receipt was purchased, your mother will need to purchase a new receipt.

i can't speak for all immigrants but myself. if you asked my opinion i will say its is more likely for a native born citizen to get treated favorably than a naturalized citizen...also it could be subjective

lindaayim:
Sometimes i struggle with the feeling that i'm an american and also a Nigerian in america. when i say struggle, i feel certain jobs i apply for despite being qualified as a citizen is not given and at the end native-born citizens are preferred despite having similar or better training. i feel the accent thing no matter how much american u claim affects u a little bit. Some people still see you as foreign. Actually some americans don't even believe you are a citizen with full rights like them. feel free to share your opinions..

Hello from the other side !!

I've always noticed that most men always doze off immediately after sex.

Well,I wondering what could be the cause because it's weird.

So Romancelanders (as it's so called) Enlighten me a little bit.

Just got my passport back now and I thank God for making me smile .

Multiple entry visa from September 2016 to February 2021. Visa expires ONE day before my passport expiry. Awesome!

Visa issued by Accra IRCC. So it's confirmed that Accra has been the culprit all along. Looool.

I really thank God for seeing me through to the end of this long journey.

Gaborone:
A power of attorney is a document giving another person the power to do a particular thing, or a number of things.
For eg, if I reside in Edo state, and I own a house in Abuja, which I want to put up for rent, to save myself the headache of having to travel down, I can decide to appoint someone whom I know resides in Abuja to manage/lease the property out on my behalf. By doing this, I make him a representative of mine. However, despite this, I would still have the power to manage/lease out the property if I want to, even while the document is still valid.

Now, here is the reason why you SHOULD NOT allow this seller execute a power of attorney in respect of that land: A power of attorney is not an instrument of conveyance or transfer of title to land. In other words, it CANNOT be used to transfer property or land, directly from one person to another. As such, if you prepare one for the seller to sign, it would only state that the seller gives you the right to sell the property on his behalf, and that is not what you need right now. If it has a clause in it that says the seller is transferring title to you, it will be INVALID/VOID, because, a power of attorney is not a document that can transfer title to land. Again, if this seller should execute a power of attorney giving you power to do whatever, it won't stop him from doing the very things you are given the power to do.

The above brings us to deed of assignment. Simply put, this is a document executed/signed by both parties to transfer the title of one to another. This is what you need for this transaction op.

Conclusively, let me add that you should get a lawyer. Many people have gotten themselves into precarious and unfortunate situations by going into land transactions themselves. Get a lawyer to save yourself from a costly mistake. The money you will pay a lawyer will save you from stress tomorrow.

Chao.

Victoria2016:
Hello All,

Can someone kindly confirm how long online visa application takes?

I submitted mine since May and yet to get any response from the High Commission.

I applied in Lagos. Please if you have any contacts who can help please share.

Thanks sirs and ma

I have been trying to publish their plot numbers, but someone paid for the fencing works last week, so about 17 plots has paid.

We are buying up sand, cement, blocks and stones to start work in this location this morning. Work goes on.

spyder880:


Not functional as it was not completed. The guys had wanted me to pay them more than they did, I refused and they have not come to work in the past three days. I will call in another person to continue.

spyder880:
My people, I took another look at the money paid for this fencing, and became afraid. Only 16 plots has paid for fencing of their plots, meaning that less than 1/3 of the plots has paid for this ongoing work.

We don't know what will happen as regards prices of materials and labor costs especially when the rains come. I may only end up doing a third of this fence, and the gate house might be put on hold if more people don't pay more money for us to continue.

By tomorrow I will publish all plot numbers who paid for fencing, and those owing us. Please encourage us to serve you better.

spyder880:
The well as at today, I can see little traces of water from the well, but the land here is not very firm, I will advice them to start plastering the top by tomorrow.

spyder880:
We are buying blocks, getting water here is not easy, still looking for well diggers to sink some well for us........

spyder880:
Although I have some cash to work with now, it will be important if everyone cooperated with us and send their fencing funds to me now that I am about to start the fencing. It will be bad if after we have done the much we can with the funds available to us, and left the site, some people will start to pay for the same fencing. I may need to list out all the plot numbers whom I have not got their fencing/nri ani payments. Please help us to serve you better. Thanks.

You are all invited to come in now from time to time to see how we are treating your lands, especially now the roads are created, you can even view your land easier now, that when the grasses start to grow again. I am working on building two metal signposts with TIGERKENN HOMES LTD written boldly on it and placing at strategic points so people can get here easily.

spyder880:


I purposefully left this negotiation until I conclude everything about Ugwuomu.. Now that Ugwuomu is almost sold out , I will start talking to these people again

Ako shares a boundary with Ogbeke, just a small river separates them. It is farther by about 500 meters along the same Opi/ Nsukka express. I may also change my mind completely and enter another area if I have reasons to believe it will be a better sell. I want a place developed enough for us to build and live immediately.. (But the cost?)

livingseed:


Thank you thebaft. I understand I need to apply for a study permit since my visiting visa is just for six months and my program is for one year.

Please which is more safer or reliable in your opinion? Applying for a study permit here in Nigeria or travelling to Canada and applying for a study permit right from there. Thank you.

livingseed:
Hello tennisgal,

Thank you I do appreciate. Yes, it was indeed helpful. My study program is 1yr pgc.

After my pgc study in Canada, I won't be permitted to work with my certificate or apply for an Msc there but asked to return to Nigeria just because I came in with a visiting visa right?

Will find out more information on the cic page as advised before making a move. Am still in nig at the moment. Thanks so much once again.

Enjoy!
