Don't know if you are referring to personal expectations anyway. If yes, then may God be with us all.
But you see this country, With what we have on ground, I'm afraid that expectations may not be met. Bunch of corrupt self-centered individuals in leadership.

Meanwhile, Indonesia should have been on the list, not withstanding how strict they take immigration laws, they still approve VISAS within 10 to 20 days so far your documents are complete, though many of which are visit Visa which they would still renew for you easily

Rubbish

to

The UK is supposed to be number one on the list. UK no doubt, has really helped Nigerians as regards japa. Imagine the number of approved visas they give (if not for that loudmouth, dependency visa would have also increased our chances over there), unlike others. Iceland is not so easy, only the financial involvement alone (POF alone), you would think twice...
