The United States Embassy in Nigeria says effective from Thursday , August 29 , 2019 , Nigerians applying for tourism, student and business visas will not only pay the N 59 , 200 fee but will have to pay an extra $ 110 ( N 40 , 700) after the visa has been issued to them bringing the total cost to N 99 , 900.
However , applicants who are denied visas would not need to pay the extra N 40 , 700.
Applicants seeking the L 1 Visa ( work permit) will pay an extra N 112, 100 if given visas while those applying for H 4 Visa ( dependency /spousal ) will pay an extra N 66 , 600.
The US Embassy adopts the rate of N 370/$ 1 for Nigerians which is higher than both the official rate and the black market rate .
The increment also comes amid complaints from hundreds of Nigerian visa applicants that they had not been able to secure US visa appointment dates despite making payments for visas .
The embassy said in a statement that the increment was done based on reciprocity .

The truth will surely prevail. I am waiting to see how it end.

"ANARCHY LOOMS OVER SIEGE LAID TO YORUBALAND" ALAAFIN TELLS BUHARI

Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi
Ademola Babalola , Ibadan
The Alaafin of Oyo , Oba Lamidi Adeyemi , has written to President Muhammadu Buhari to warn him about looming anarchy in the country if the siege laid to Yorubaland by herdsmen and kidnappers is not contained .
Adeyemi , who catalogued the spate of insecurity in Yorubaland by herdsmen and their collaborators , accused Buhari of not bringing the culprits to book .
He said the Yoruba had all it took to resort to self - help if the security in the zone did not improve and people guaranteed safety of lives and property .
Titled , ‘ Yoruba Question in Nigeria Conundrum , ’ Alaafin wrote , “ I have never been timid or failed in my total support for the success of your administration . My confidence had always been based on Your Excellency ’ s ability , fitness and competence in leading the country to the Promised Land , where law and order will prevail , individual liberty is guaranteed and economic wellbeing of the citizens is assured .
“ In recent time , however , I am worried about the security situation in the country, especially in the South - West geo - political zone , nay the entire Yoruba - speaking area of the country, including Kwara, Kogi and Edo states .
“ This has to do with the menace of Fulani herdsmen that have laid siege to almost all the highways of Yorubaland . Whether in Owo , Akure , Ilesa / Ife - Ibadan road or Ibarapa zone and the Ijebu area of Ogun State , the story is the same .
“ I have held a series of consultations with opinion moulders and eminent Yoruba leaders about the menace of these cattle herdsmen with assault such as raping of our women and on some occasions , in the presence of their husbands . That is apart from massive destruction of our agricultural land , which ultimately points to imminent starvation .
“ On top of it all is the menace of professional kidnappers usually in military uniforms. What is more worrisome about the kidnapping notoriety is the impunity with which these kidnappers go about their nefarious activities . ”
Alaafin said people were worried by the audacity of the lawless people in effecting their illegal acts in broad daylight on bushy highways without any arm of security being able to do anything.
He said , “ We cannot even talk of parading suspects because no major arrests have been made in this part of the country. Without arrests, we cannot talk of their facing the law . In the face of the apparent helplessness of our security agencies, where do we go from here ?”
The monarch said in the face of the helplessness of the security agencies , the people were finding it unavoidable to resort to alternative measures to safeguard their lives and property .
“ Suffice to say that in most part of Yorubaland , their pre - colonial military structures have not been totally collapsed . Hence, such structures like Odua People ’ s Congress , Agbekoya and other vigilante groups still exist , ” he added .
The monarch as the “ Alaafin of Oyo , the King and Head of all Yoruba at home and in the diaspora and the Chief Custodian of Yoruba culture and values ” he was compelled to tell the President that the people of Yorubaland lived in palpable fear because of new wave of insecurity .
He reminded the President of the crime that had been committed by the herdsmen , urging him to rise to the occasion .
He said , “ Certain individuals were kidnapped along Erio - Aromoko Road , Ekiti State . They were tortured and exposed to danger in the forest for over two weeks . These victims included the Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association , Ikole branch , Adeola Adebayo , whose decomposing body was eventually found after a ransom price of N 4 m had been paid . ”
He listed other victims of the marauders to include , two officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps , both Yoruba , who were picked up along Ilesa - Akure highway; Musibau Adetumbi , a legal practitioner based in Ibadan ; Prof . Adegbehingbe , a surgeon at the Obafemi Awolowo University , Ile - ife ; Dr Muslim Omoleke ; Mr Ayo Oladele , and Dayo Adewole , son of a member of 2015 - 2019 executive council and Minister of Health , Prof . Isaac Adewole , who was kidnapped on his farm at Iroko , a village along Ibadan - Oyo road .
He said further , “ I am therefore writing to you , as a concerned stakeholder in your administration to alert you to the need to quickly respond to these and other issues concerning Yorubaland . There is a general impression among opposition group that you are not known to take decisive and proactive steps in many matters of national interest and that you are not usually too disturbed about the gale of insecurity in Yorubaland .
“ May I also share with you the outcome or product of my wide consultations in Yorubaland to let you know , beyond what official security reports will make available to you , that there is a growing feeling of frustration, disappointment and despondency among our people , which if not immediately addressed, could lead to other serious national catastrophes and security challenges . ”

I'm a teacher and I work in one of the high paying schools in Lagos by God's grace. I'm always sad each time I read what my colleagues are passing through in getting a good job. From my observation, I discovered that what most of us lack is access to information. We don't know what is trending in the sector and as such, we can't capitalise on it for our own advantage. At the moment, the importance of online training cannot be underestimated. Let's update our knowledge and skills during this holiday using different online platforms. Enroll for free online courses and get certified. You will be amazed at how your chances of getting a better school will increase.

Other trending issues in the sector is becoming IGCSE and Microsoft certified (MCE). MCE (Microsoft Certified Educator) certification is the real deal now! I am IGCSE certified and also I'm a MCE (glory to God). During this holiday period, I'm organizing an intensive Whatsapp training for those who want to become MCE before the next academic session. Apart from getting certified, you will become a better educator as you would have been successfully taking through 21st century teaching pedagogy and how you can inculcate into your learning activities the skills that will qualify our learners for their future jobs.

The first Whatsapp training will be free and the training cost will be XXXXX . I will supply you with every single material you need and walk you through to the end of the training materials.

Send me a PM if you are interested.
