Boss I'm listening. I have sent you a mail. I have lost a lot already. I can't afford to lose everything.

Bros, I can't help you o. I just thought is was best people are aware of the reality of things so they don't get disappointed.

There is a racket at the SA consulate. If you have fixed travel plans to go to SA don't depend on them getting your passport and visa back to you on time. Those getting their visas on time know what they had to do. Simple advice for normal folks trying to do the right thing.

Its a black hole. Apply only if you have time to waste and you are not in a hurry.

Any suggestion house ?

Thanks and God bless you all

Is this only happening in Lagos?

From the news stories you will see it's a national thing.

I would have believed this if not for a simple Google search and going through every single page of this thread and reading stories from years ago.

News stories have been documenting this 'maltreatment' of Nigerian applicants by the South African Consulate and VFS.

VFS Global keeps mum as Nigerians condemn extortion by visa processing firm

They usually dont take this long to process visa applications. It is written on the VFS "News and Notices" section that they are having technical difficulties at the Embassy which is causing delays in visa processing time. There are some things you cannot control dear. PATIENCE.....

The way the SA High Consulate in Nigeria delays visa applications is crazy. Imagine a useless country like South Africa holding onto people's passports for weeks, some people book flights, hotel accommodation, make solid travel plans, prepare to attend conferences and then they treat our applications with disdain like time is not of the essence. Better countries at least respect timing. What a waste of time and money. Never again.

Empty post.

Let these elections not even hold sef. I am tired of all these campaigns, rallies, promises that are lies and having political candidates being forced on us. Whatever will be will be jare!

Just saw the funniest thing on 3rd Mainland Bridge, APC has attached brooms to posters of GEJ and JK
