Finally got my passport today..ph

marv1:
Anything like that

How much

lightnlife:
Oh! That's one thing I've been worried about here.

The roads are so tiny with street-parking ooo.

The driving culture has been cracking me up, big time. The first day I got on an intra-city bus, I had my heart in my mouth, pressing the brake with the driver. Very small roads.

Thought I'd buy a car ASAP but seeing the roads and driving culture, I am having a rethink to delay the purchase.

lightnlife:
IT'S SUNDAY...

I've consciously been observing the lifestyle (social, cultural, religious and work) of locals here and it's been an interesting ride.

Let me pen my religious observations;

1. Most people (Brits) are not religious. In fact, when you ask them for their religious beliefs and leanings, they will tell you they don't believe anything or they don't go to church but believe in God. At best, they tell you they attend the Church of England or an Anglican Church.

2. There are not too many Churches around. But you can be sure that every community has an Orthodox Church around. Yes, there are a couple of Pentecostal churches around but they're not dominant.

3. I have not noticed any Mosques around here. But I am sure I have seen a few Muslims around.

4. Religious activities are not conducted to the discomfort of residents or the general public. For instance, there's a big church in our community and we've never heard a sound from the church even on Sundays. Given our Nigerian-church background, I and my partner have been a bit worried that we've not heard any sound from the Church for over two weeks. Prior to securing this accommodation, my partner gave me a video tour of the house and I noticed the Church, then expressed my fears of noise disturbance from the Church during services. Interestingly, the Church don disappoint us as we never a sound from there. That tells you that noise pollution in whatever form is not encouraged.

5. I noticed that a lot of the things we are religious about in Africa are considered social good here. Acts of help and public service are almost normal to them, while in Africa these things are repeatedly preached with little or no application or impact in people's minds and actions. Honestly, religion without character is vanity.

As for us, we've not attended a physical church here but we've been joining our Nigerian church, virtually.

For many of the irreligious people, they simply chill at home, bar or fun spots on Sundays when they're not working.

As I always say, there are no perfect systems/countries, but there are better systems/countries. This piece isn't for comparison but a narration of my experience and observation.

PEACE!

Your passport is ready for pick

suzzyrims:
No just want to prepare ahead to avoid NIN not dropping issues

suzzyrims:
That link is for tracking application status. I did not see anywhere to verify NIN

Consider REDMI one of the Xaomi brand of phones.

Xaomi phones are in the same class of phones like Samsung and iPhones.

They are much better than Techno or Infinix phones.

A lot of people probably don’t know that at least one of the founders of Xaomi are manufacturers of the highly placed but now rested/ defunct HTC phones. HTC phones were competing favorably with Samsung and Iphones back then.

You can get a Redmi 10c with 64GB internal storage phone for between N80,000 To N85,000

suzzyrims:
Goodday house

Please how can i verify if my NIN will drop on immigration portal

wowdiva:
I captured at Ikoyi, I was given a written piece of paper with just my enrollment number on it.
How can I track it, I can see the site is requesting for application and reference number?

bukhety:
Thank you. I checked they said pending production!

iykecollins1:

Toplap:
That tracking system does not work. I was told application not found too

Lontrra:
Oh wow!
Thanks.
I've been there like twice but didn't get it.

abilityC:
It was said to be a directive given to Every Embassy by the Nigerian Government that Anyone born before 1993 would have to obtain the document as a Birth Certificate cannot be issued for people born before the formation of the NPC.

abilityC:
Also i just found out that it is mandatory to Have a Birth Attestation from NPC if born before 1992 when applying to other Embassies so its better to get the Birth Attestation from NPC to avoid stories, and with that even if the NIS Officers ask for it especially from DIYers you will not be stranded.

Lontrra:
Is the information here usually correct? I just checked mine now and I'm seeing something else.

iykecollins1:
highest grade is 35k

bukhety:
How do they track it online? I've paid today o. They said I will get it on Tuesday.

iykecollins1:
yes ....do u want them without spring or with spring

bukhety:
If you need your passport in about 3 months from now, pls don't try DIY.

I captured in Alausa, March 10. Collection date was supposed to be April 14. I went there April 14, no show. I went there again yesterday, May 19, they said it's not ready. The person that said he will help me said I should bring 15k.

They want to frustrate DIY at all cost. If you know you will need your passport next year, and you want to do DIY, pls start the process now or else!

iykecollins1:
