yemi2plus2: Let it be noted that at the risk of sounding platitudinously humdrum,we have asseverated for the upteenth time, that the convocation of a sovereign national conference for purposesof interrogating the odoriferous vaudeville of our national jeremiad, remains the only potentand efficaciously utilitarian paspartou out of our cascading national sirocco but alas,disdain complacency to say the least and at best Olympian pococuranteismand the tedium of prescriptive poco a poco is what we have been greeted with by intellectual philistines,hig h priests of a prebendal state and their opprobrious agents...LOOK AM NOW?If this is indeed true,many more may follow and this deposits me in a state of heebie jeebies.

olivertwist: So why 45-60days in the case of Nigeria when 99% of them will be denied anyway?

texazzpete: If you hear all the horror stories the expat staff in my office tell me about their experiences when trying to get a visa to Nigeria...

debosky:

I've seen some myself. This poor man applied for a visa and had empty (stamp-free) pages in his passport. Apparently, the Nigerian consulate required that you have two pages stamp-free side by side for issuing a visa but the guidelines didn't state the side by side bit. He submitted the passport, got it checked at the consulate and the staff didn't say there was an issue and accepted the application.

The man showed up on a Friday afternoon a couple of weeks later to pick up his passport, having booked his hotel and flight for travel on Monday. . . .only to get there and be told that the visa wasn't issued because of the two page issue. No one contacted him, and being Friday afternoon it was too late to apply for a new passport. His airline and hotel reservation (not to mention business appointments) went down the drain.

FG is right in asking for better treatment, but their own services are not very good either.

babseg: I won't be surprised to hear that one of the ministers family got their passport delayed.

That's why the government is protesting

AjanleKoko: Well . . . by far the most interesting thing about Canada are these guys below

debosky: $tunna stop posting pictures of Van City here nah. . . .else the rush to the Canadian Embassy will cause the delay to lengthen to 90 days.

dasparrow: @Post

I look forward to a day that Nigeria as a country will put her house in order and when we do, there will be no need to apply for visas to these western countries. They will be the ones begging us to apply for a visa instead. In the meantime, I think the Nigerian embassy in canada should treat canadians applying for a Nigerian visa the same way canadian embassy is treating Nigerian visa applicants. I have always known that canadians are a bunch of stinking bigoted heiffers just like their american counterparts. I don't know why those canadian heiffers were given a contract to supply us with electricity. I don't trust them at all and will never give a canadian my business.

$tunna:


i see!

so the guy who puts up the picture of the 4 dudes that says that's the best thing about Canada can get away with it but i cant try to refute it?? okay my guy...point taken! lolzz

i will try not to provoke further mass exodus...!

SisiKill1:
It's gotta be something in the water. . .how else do you explain how the Govt consistently gets it wrong?

Instead of wondering why Nigerians are seeking Visas out of the country in droves, they are asking Canadians to treat them right.

God!!

ahf:


Some applicants I know are trying to visit children in school and family based in Canada.

The simple maths is for the Nigerian Embassy to revert same treatment for Canadian visitors.
Quite a bunch of them are in the oil and gas service sector.

Nigeria needs to revert to tactics for tactics, not noise for tactics !!
