Ok, thanks. Planning to renew mine later this month at ATL consulate. Just covering all my bases. Do you know if the’ve started issuing the new e-passport with 10 year validity?

I haven't been to the Atlanta Consulate since this year...

Last year I was there only the e-passport with 5 year validity was been issued...

lagosboy86:
Were you required to provide a NIN number for the renewal? If so, how did you get the NIN number?
Thanks

No...

I live in the United States & I was only required to provide my Social Security Number...

@7Alexander any hint on how I could save cost from Lagos to Lubbock on July 23?

Plan to spend $850 - $900 for the total cost of trip to Lubbock

Won't mind using bus at some point, it bus trip is not more than 6hrs

Not really...

You should ask Seyewest about it...

He is the specialist when it comes to booking cheap flight tickets...

But $850 - $900 is way too low...

You need to budget at least a $1,500 for a one way ticket...

seyewest:
ATL is always high even for domestic flight...

You can help him out with a cheap flight quote from New York City to Atlanta...

OmoBendel24:
NY to ATL will take well over 18hrs, stops inclusive, and anywhere from $40 oh!

Sorry, I just checked right now & you’re right...

The must have changed things up since last year...

It’s almost 23 hrs with the unnecessary stops...

I wouldn’t embark on such long trips on the Bus...

He should take a flight from New York City to Atlanta which takes about 3 hrs...

OmoBendel24:
NY to ATL will take well over 18hrs, stops inclusive, and anywhere from $40 oh!

You’re right...

OmoBendel24:
NY to ATL will take well over 18hrs, stops inclusive, and anywhere from $40 oh!

No, it shouldn’t ..

I have done that route several times...

It’s 4 hours from New York City to Washington D.C. & 10 hours from Washington D.C. to Atlanta...

If you booked far ahead of time like say August you can get a MegaBus ticket for about $20...

seyewest:
ATL is always high even for domestic flight...

Let him fly to New York City OR Washington D.C. & then take a Bus to Atlanta...

That would be the cheapest option...

If he can book ahead of time, he can certainly get a MegaBus Ticket from either New York City OR Washington D.C. to Atlanta for $20...

Washington D.C. to Atlanta is roughly 6 hours by MegaBus...

New York City to Atlanta is roughly 10 hours by MegaBus...

And then he can take Greyhound from Atlanta Georgia to Birmingham Alabama which is roughly 2 hours by Bus

A Greyhound Ticket from Atlanta Georgia to Birmingham Alabama should cost about $20...

This is beautiful... Whenever I remember to take pictures it is always just clouds I capture .

If you want to capture beautiful pictures, then you have to wait until the Pilot announces that y’all need to get ready for landing...

Once the Plane drops down below 10,000 feet then you would be able to capture beautiful pictures...

Most times it's d hand rest ur seat mate will be struggling with u, claiming he is entitled to two hand rest including d remote control.

Crazy people everywhere...

I love the look too but I haven't tried to snap any. How did you do this?

I took the pictures using my iPhone 8 Plus...

You quoted some particular airlines and I quoted another.yes people who got into the airplane first always have the liberty to choose their seats first but like i said,it still all depends on your boarding category.
Nobody said you cant claim your seat printed on your boarding pass but we shouldn't take it as war when someone tries to play funny.sometimes the cabin crew can change your seat for whatever reason and there's nothing you can do about it.
Not every airlines charge for seat reservations except you choose to upgrade to premium class.

I’m tired of the back & forth...

Getting into the plane first has nothing to do with your Seating Arrangement...

Your Seating Arrangement is printed on your boarding Pass...

So even if you entered the Plane First & your Seat Number {32 B} is printed on your boarding pass then you’re only entitled to that particular seat during the course of your flight duration...

You can’t claim entitlement to a particular seat that isn’t printed on your boarding pass...

If paid $52 in advance for a Window Seat then I’m entitled to that particular Seat...

Nobody is going to play funny to me especially when it comes to my right...

The Cabin Crew including the Pilot cannot ask me to move from a Window Seat I already reserved in advance except they have another Window Seat available for me...

Like I said before, I flown a lot of time & I know when I’m wrong & when I’m right...

I’m this particular case my argument holds firm...

The only time that I would be willing to move from my Window Seat is if it involves a Pregnant Passenger, Disabled Passenger & Elderly Passenger...

If any other Passenger is tryna to play funny to gain access to a Window Seat I have already reserved in advance then they’re simply fooling themselves...

I’m usually calm & collected but would never let people walk over me especially under this particular scenario...

The reason I enjoy staying by the Window Seat is because I enjoy taking a lot of pictures & documenting my travels...

That’s the reason why I wouldn’t mind paying in advance to reserve a Window Seat...

Ishilove:
The air staff themselves sometimes aid and abet this nonsense. The one time it happened to me, I was too ill and exhausted to argue so I quietly went to look for an empty seat. I had chosen a prime window seat in the middle row, but when I boarded, the air hostess said it's 'free seating' or whatever. I was so pissed

Did this happen in Nigeria?

This “free seating” arrangement seems very popular there...

During flights within the United States & internationally you’re allowed to reserve a particular seat in advance by paying for it...

Whatever seat is printed on your boarding pass is what you’re entitled to...

You can’t claim the right to a particular seat that isn’t printed on your boarding pass...

...

Not every airline assign seat during booking.southwest airlines don't usually assign seat in advance in most of their flights.its always first come basis which depends on your boarding category.people change seat for whatever reasons and that you got an assigned seat doesn't mean you can't seat eslewhere.i have heard people who got their life changed just by changing seats with other people.we just dont know how fate can play fast games on us.we should learn to circumvent issues in our approach.

I don’t know what you mean by first come basis...

I’m a frequent flier of American Airlines, Delta Airlines & United Airlines...

Priority is usually given to Medallion Members & Members who also posses a Frequent Flier Credit Card during the boarding process

All three Airlines allows you to pick you seat in advance as long as you’re willing to pay for it...

If I pay $52 in advance for Window Seat {32 A} that entitles me to that particular seat during the course of the flight...

Another Passenger cannot claim the right to the seat while a priority customer has already reserved the seat in advance by paying almost $52 for it...

By paying almost $52 the Window Seat {32 A} is printed on my ticket & passengers are always cautioned to make sure they are all at the correct seat as printed in their boarding ticket during a fully boarded flight to a popular destination like New York City...

If their is a confusion as who should be seated at a particular seat, Airline officials usually go by the seat number printed on your ticket inorder to reach a conclusive decision...

If Aisle Seat {32 C} is printed on your ticket you cannot claim the right to Window Seat {32 A}...

However a passenger can decide to switch seats with approval from a fellow passenger that’s entirely up to them...

If it was a Pregnant Women, Elderly Passenger & Disabled Passenger I would have let them have the seat...

But under no other conditions whatsoever would I let someone else to claim the right to my seat...

If it was that important to them the should have paid in advance for it & if they can’t afford it then they should ask nicely for permission from me instead of trying to argue with me & raising their voice unnecessarily...

I wonder why people like doing that...

I love the window seats & usually pick them in advance of my flight even when if it means paying in advance...

There was a time I was flying back to New York City via United Airlines & has to pay $52 for a Window seat & extra legroom...

By the time, I got on the plane a lady had already taken my seat even though our seating arrangement were clearly printed on our flight ticket...

I had to call the attention of one of the flight attendants to move her away from my seat...

I cannot let my $52 to go like that...

The worst part of the whole issue was her trying to claim she is right the whole thing time...

Assuming she explained politely to me that they were traveling together as a group & wanted to seat together maybe I might have changed my mind & let her have my window seat but her attitude left a lot to be desired & as a result I had to act...

I hate aisle seat especially when flying on a long distance flights, window seats are always my favorites...

I usually pay in advance of my flight to guarantee my window seat reservation...

manlawal:
this var is causing so much problem imagine argentina loose first penalty var help them again

At least the VAR helped end the Game in a Draw...

If not Nigeria would have crashed out in the Group Stage...

morakinyo20:
..........and super falcons just qualified.

Kai, Scotland na mumu.

Instead of defending their lead, they wanted more goals.

See where it led them to...

egojeny1:
Scotland has taken the next best losers spot.
Sco 3 : 1 Arg

The Game ended in a draw

Scotland 3 vs Argentina 3

this Evisa , can it be use to get employment opportunities in Australia?

No, you can't...

You can't work in Australia using a Visitor Visa...

Just visit & return back home to Nigeria...

We the North!!!

Congratulations to the Toronto Raptors for winning...

Toronto Raptors deserved the 2018/2019 NBA Championship...

I couldn’t even sleep until the Game ended...

It was end to end basketball the entire Game...

I hope they make the quarterfinals...

That’s my minimum expectation...

lionlee216:
That Spirit airline no get joy. Same as Frontier airline... their seats are not comfortable. Flew delta airline today and i love it. Southwest Airline get comfort too..

Following...

I only fly four Major Airlines whenever I’m traveling within the United States:

American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines & Jet Blue Airlines...

Overall I believe American Airlines takes the #1 Spot closely followed by Delta Airlines at the #2 Spot...

Nobody is saying you can't do your passport same day After all that's what your appointment would do for you...paperwork and data capturing but getting it back same day is what I dispute.even the main high commission in NY can't do same day delivery.
Besides,am.sure you agree it cost way much than the normal fees to get that expedited option done.

When I renewed my Nigerian Passport for the first time at the Nigerian Consulate General in Atlanta, I couldn’t get back the same day because I arrived late at the Consulate General & there were too many people yet to be attended...

I was asked to come back the following day by 10:00 AM to pick up my Nigerian Passport...

When I arrived, my passport was ready for pickup...

I also paid about $60 to the Consulate General for expedited processing using Money Order I got from Kroger...

I ended up spending the night at the Comfort Inn in Roswell, GA which is approximately about 30 minutes by Uber from the Consulate General in Atlanta, GA without traffic...

You can get your Nigerian passport the same day from the Consulate General in New York City...

But you will have to pay a $60 Expedited Processing fee using a Money Order...

I also got my United States Passport the same day from the Washington Passport Agency in Washington D.C.

Even when it comes to the economy, President Donald J Trump is simply taking credit for the Great Economy left by Former President Barack Obama & Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke

Former President Barack Obama inherited a worst economy from Former President W. Bush but was able to turn the economy around during his 8 year tenure as President of the United States including overseeing the Great Recession in 2008...

By the time, he left office the Economy of the United States was definitely in the right trajectory...

It’s very funny when I listen to folks make mention that President Donald J Trump has done more for Blacks than Former President Barack Obama did during his 8 year stint as the President of the United States...

That simply shows me that most people are unable to make an independent research for themselves & can easily be brainwashed...

Keyword - ' He tries to achieve'...... External clogs are blocking his wheels from turning.......


Donald is surely winning a 2nd term in office..........


MAGA - Mexicans Are Getting Across...........

What most people fail to realize was that President Barack Obama actions was frustrated & blocked by the Republicans led House & Senate...

Even House Leader Mitch McConnell said & I quote “My number priority is to make President Barack Obama a one term President”

President Barack Obama didn’t have any other option but to use Executive Decision to push through his landmark Signature Accomplishments...

President Barack Obama Accomplishment on Immigration:

A) The Marvin Program: I know a lot of people even personally here from Nairaland who joined the United States Military & immediately became U.S. Citizens within 6 months to 1 year...

B) DACA Program: This is mainly for undocumented immigrants who where brought to the United States as kids. A lot of Mexicans & Spanish people benefited immensely from this program...

C) TPS Program: This is mainly for individuals from worn torn countries & areas of natural disasters like Earthquake i.e. Haiti & Sudan

Now ask yourself what has President Donald J Trump done for people in Regards to immigration absolutely nothing...

There’s a reason he is known as destroyer in chief

A) He signed a Legislation effectively banning foreign nationals from seven predominantly Muslim Countries from entering the United States

B) He wants to rescind & eliminate the Obama era DACA Program

C) He also wants to rescind & eliminate the Obama era TPS Program

If Joe Biden is the Democratic Nominee, President Donald J Trump will not be returning to the white house in 2020...

The Path to the White House runs through the Midwestern States of Wisconsin, Michigan & Pennsylvania...

President Barack Obama won all three states both in 2008 & 2012...

If Joe Biden wins all three states then there isn't any other realistic path to the Presidency for Donald J Trump...

Nothing like trying to achieve...

Either you're gonna get it done or not...

President Donald J trump thinks running a country is the same as running a business...

He wants to have his way every time...

Life doesn't work that way...

Part of being a President is reaching across the aisle & working with the opposition to accomplish your agenda both Former President Clinton & Barack Obama did the same thing...

So far he has shown that he's unwilling to work with house democrats to move the country forward rather he is more focused on erasing Former President Barack Obama Legacy...

Lexusgs430:
Trump is a politicians nightmare.... I love his ways of modern politicking.

He tries to achieve contents on his manifesto, as opposed to others, that simply get in and move the goalpost......

He speaks and tweets his mind...... What is not to like about such a president..............

Are you sure about that?

President Barack Obama achieved so much more during his First Term as President of the United States when compared to President Donald J Trump:

Some of President Donald J Trump promises made & promises broken includes:

(A)Build the wall and Mexico will pay for it

(B)I’m going to replace Obamacare with something much cheaper and better

(C)As soon as I am not under audit I’m going to release my tax returns

(D)We will have an infrastructure bill passed and start working on it in the first six months of my presidency

(E)I’ll negotiate such a good deal with China you’ll get tired of all the winnings

(F)We will have a peace treaty with N. Korea as soon as I meet with little rocket man

(G)I’ll negotiate a better deal with Iran in six months

Lots of agenda items lol

Bet if I try I can come up with more.

His only signature accomplishment is his Tax Reform Bill which didn't have any significant effect on my Baseline income...

I have lived in the United States since 2012 & I always get a Tax Refund Check ranging from $1,500 - $2,500 whenever I file my taxes...

This is the first time ever that I wouldn't be getting any Tax Refund Check rather the Internal Revenue Service informed me by letter that I owe about $2,500 in Federal Income Taxes which is as a result of President Donald J Trump Tax Reform Bill...

The only Beneficiaries of his Tax Reform Bill are Millionaires & Billionaires who got a Permanent Tax Breaks while Middle Class Families in America got Temporary Tax Breaks...

President Donald J Trump will not be getting my vote on November 3rd, 2020...
