JOIN ME IN PRAISING GOD I HAVE SEEN HIS GOODNESS.......

God is ever faithful, sang praises throughout my trip and i put God first in all I did.

To give back to the trend,

I got into houston yesterday 23rd thru London, flew BA ( was a good choice), Bought the ticket last min 21st was like 300k+

Lagos,
I checked in online, so i just went straight to Customs, my 1 baggage was checked, in it were powdered milk, Ogbono, crayfish,chilly pepper, Egusi (all grinded), then straight for my boarding pass, the lady who attended to me was super nice, I also asked for a wheelchair which helped me alot ( it was put on my boarding pass). went through fast track, no wheel chair was given to me at the lagos leg but went straight to board the plane.

London,
my name was already on the list for assistance for wheel chair and two other granmas, so we were each wheeled on different wheel chairs to the BA wheel chair assiatance roo, all our data were checked and entered (VIP treatment) grin. when the connecting flight to Houston was few mins to boarding, we were like 6 pple for the flight who were assisted with car cart to our boarding gate, all our passes already checked, boarding time came we went like VIPs.
The flight was also FAB no stress, but one of the air hostess was not nice she said i cld drink water from the toilet, i weak o shocked shocked shocked lipsrsealed, i almost insulted her, then i remembered dont let the devil spoil your joy. grin grin so i waka go o, as na only me waka come grin

Hoston,
My name was first on the list for wheelchair service no stress, straight to immigration to the front,

Cbp: hello, what are you here for
moi: for child birth
cbp: how much do you ve with you
moi: **** including money in my debit acct(nigeria) over 10k dollars, cash at hand less than 500dollars
cbp: ok, how long r u here for
moi: 10weeks
cbp: put your finger on the bio metrics
moi: did that
cbp: your face here, the machine was lowered( remember am on a wheel chair)
Moi: put my face.
cbp: stamped my passport no limit to stay.
Moi: thank you, collected my passport.

I used less than 3mins with the cbp. Although am a frequent US traveler.

no documents asked no second inspection but i went to customs cos of the amt.
I was asked how much i had in cash told the officer, my wheelchair helper(Tracy) then asked him 'are you good', he asked her 'r u', she said yes rolling her yes then he said you can go
went to baggage claim, Tracy helped with my baggage, then out.

I thank God for easy POE and journey mercies.

wow thanks for sharing.... Did you use it for Internet shopping? OMG sorry about that
So sorry abt ur experience, I think its best to just withdraw from the atm once and hold cash, guess its safer.

Got into Houston yesterday via British Airways (I choose them cos I intend to stop over in London on my return trip).

I got to the airport in Nigeria early and didn't have any issues checking it. Was only requested for my fitness to fly which and I gave them a copy.

Requested for wheelchair chair service


but didn't use it in Nigeria. Started using in from London.

When I arrived Houston, there were some old people who couldn't really walk on the flight but didn't request for wheelchair chair. As the wheelchairs brought to the door of the aircraft were less one of the attendants operating the wheelchairs said you could just keep walking until another one comes., I said no as I couldn't walk and she asked 'you're having the baby now'? I replied her and said what kind of silly question is that.

Anyway I eventually got into the wheelchair and was taken straight to the front of the long que.

Cpb- what's the purpose of your trip
Me- vacation and medical attention
Cpb - are you sick?
Me- no, I'm pregnant.
I was sent for secondary inspection afterwards and after about 30mins, one of the officers called me and asked if I had a contacted a Dr. I said yes and handed over my email correspondence.

After studying it for about 5mins she hands it back to me, stamps me in for 6 months and tells me to keep all my receipts.

I proceeded to get my luggage(I had already discharged the wheelchair attendant at this time as it was becoming awkward remaining on it)

As I declared some food items, I was sent to Agriculture. all my indomie spices were seized as I had removed them from the pack. One of the lady officers insisted it was chicken indomie that's why I removed them from the packs. I asked her what I was going to do with indomie without spices and she said I shouldn't have taken them from the packs. I insisted that, thats how I always traveled with my indomie but doe where.....

My rice was also seized.

Every other thing like my palm oil, dry fish, dried Bush meat, all shades of Maggi, crayfish, starch, cabin biscuit, milo, milk, ogbono, egusi, spices, canned banga etc went tru.

I have settled in with soulcare (good choice). Got to town via super shuttle. Paid 56 dollars. Was taken for groceries as soon as I got in.

That's my POE story.

Any idea on how I can't eat my indomie?
Use ur maggi/salt and crayfish.

sorry for your loss....
UK? Infected CS site... Wow.

Some negligence shld also b blamed on some
Patients... Some patients over sabi is too much ... They'll try all other means like self medication, advice from people before coming to the hospital.
And some patients can lie... Lie about everything.. What's even for their own good.
True talk, some patient can lie but also remember nobody is perfect.. There is no country without health mistake.
Its only God o my pple.

bigfido:
you usually pay $500 for doctor Glenn as deposit before they send you their acceptance letter. they will later deduct it from your final balance as it is part of the doctor's fee you are supposed to pay. I am wondering why theirs no much talk about northwest houston medical center. The quotation from them is very fair from my calculation. Congrats firstymum and everyother person with great POE stories.
I also call Dr Glenn's office and i was informed of the initial $500 deposit which will be deducted from the total bill.
