Dont mind the mushin gutter rat! It is bad enough that the landmark beachfront will have eventually been sandfilled by eko atlantic but to run the super highway in front of the landmark facilities is just demonic....considering you had enough space at the back for the highway..........as usual they have used an Igbo useful idiot to take down this enterprising man.......................that is how they used Emeka offor to frustrate Barth nnaji's geometric power plant for 13 years! ndi uchu

Who's the they? This same they that finally resolved the issue?

Landmark makes more money from their event centres! None of these buildings was touched.

Believeintruth:
You are the one that doesn't have sense. These guys have done their projections into the future making room for expansion into those uninhabited cities. even Morocco is doing the same. In Nigeria's case no one is crying here due to tribalistic sentiments, it is selfishness of the people in power to still keep people leaning towards Lagos instead of opening up everywhere. We have ports littered all over SS why can't the FG expand them to the capacity of Tincan and Apapa? why not fix or create roads that link from the hinterland to those ports littered all over the south. My friend you are not only a joker but a senseless person.

So in your chicken reasoning, it's only China that is permitted to make projections? You are too dull to make your own projections, which is even to an already thriving zone with viable opportunities.

You are obviously an idiot, who should never go near public administration.

Believeintruth:
Ibaka deepsea port why is it that FG has refused to approve?

Where's the report?

selleniza:
To expand only Apapa and Lekki port?

Na you go tell AP Moller-Maesk where to invest their money??

Believeintruth:
Oga leave 13% derivation who works on ports? Is it not the FG.

But Lagos in partnership with others just built a new airport.

Is anyone stopping the other people??

Believeintruth:
Road projects that make economic sense. If it was China they would thrash his road project idea because ot makes no economic to spend that huge funds whereas on the course of the road all the ports are there in need of expansion and rehabilitation. They would rather use the funds to modernise the hinterland roads to link all the ports littered all over the south.

You are a joker. China that is building uninhabited cities planned for the future.
Massive road and bridge constructions into places they want to stimulate economic activities.

Only this one here, people are already crying and introducing tribal sentiments. Yet, you are trying to gaslight China into the matter deceitfully.

Winnin009:
Its very difficult because it will amount to doing the right thing. And doing the right thing goes against their innate nature.

Roads are investments and an anchor for development. Nothing stops the FG from creating new road corridors. Most especially an economically viable one like the coastal road that will connect the biggest refinery.

All this kids on nairaland these days,you lack the capacity to reason well.

Although the Federal Executive Council approved the Outline Business Case for the Public-Private Partnership project in May 2015, it remains uncompleted nearly a decade later.

Buhari or whoever approved. Is it also their headache they couldn't get viable financial partner for the project?? Or you think FG gave Lag money for the Lekki port??

The President has graciously granted that I bring the memo to the request and including MRO. The President is a businessman, he had to also ask, are we making profits running Ibom Air?

So what exactly is Tinubu's crime in all of this??

udemzyudex:
Through FG approval.

Who was president when it was approved??

udemzyudex:
It's obvious I'm engaging an 1diot, can a state government just wake up one day to build a seaport without the FG approval?

Who is this clown?

Do you have any evidence private/state govt investors wants to build port anywhere similar to the Lekki port and they didn't receive approval??

Lekki Port LFTZ Enterprise Limited today in Lagos signed a US$629 million facility agreement with China Development Bank to part-fund the development and completion of the Lekki Deep Sea Port project being constructed in Lagos by project sponsors, Tolaram Group of Singapore and Chinese giant, China Harbour Engineering ...

Is anyone stopping you from bringing your own investors??

The FEC approval for the project was granted on 14th May 2014 vide its Conclusions referenced
EC 15(14)4 and after the closure of negotiations by the Nigerian Ports Authority, a Concession
Agreement dated 12th December 2018 was finally executed for 45 years on a Build, Own,
Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis commencing from the date of Financial Closure. The Public
– Private – Partnership [PPP] model is based on the following sharing structure:
i. Federal Government represented by NPA – 5%
ii. Lagos State Government where port is located – 20%
iii. Private Investor/manager – 75%

Who was president on the above date??
Is anyone stopping other people from making similar arrangements and taking it to Jona back then to approve??

Continue crying

udemzyudex:
Seaport is under exclusive list, without the FG approval there's nothing any state government will do.

So how did Lagos achieve the Lekki port?

Glitcher:
The onne port is an inland port with all its limitations. Check the map of ports in west Africa, you will notice how the frequency of ports stops at Lagos. The NDDC and state government do not have the capacity to carry out some kind of projects due to the difference in cost and allocation. In addition it is the responsibility of the FG to build interstate roads and seaports. The Niger delta states have benefitted less than 1% of the wealth they have given the nation. Their underdevelopment may be a strategy to keep the place uninhabited due to pollution by the oil companies. The issue of destroying the natural environment is another issue. They have found oil in the north but they are not pumping the oil out, you know why? Because they know how it can damage their environment. So much is given by the Oil producing companies and little is given back. The oil producing communities are just foolish.

Now they want to build super highway to the place to encourage inhabitation and investment along the corridor and you are still complaining. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤦🏽‍♂️

Okpokpo09:
We don’t give a Bleep about the looting pipe you guys are laying underground to loot our nation dry. Instead of to build a company that can employ unto 6-7,000 people to ease suffering and you guys are busy building a road that will never generate half of the money wasted on it… fools in government

Govt can no longer be building companies; it is foolhardy to still be championing that. All they can do is create an enabling environment.

Building of this road is such!

Dangote refinery benefited from govt support and its employing thousands. The successful completion of this road will generate massive economic activities along the corridor that will create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

This is a road linking the new industrial area of Lagos, which has the biggest refinery in Africa, the Lekki deep sea port and the proposed Lekki International Airport. Accessing this international Airport from Bayelsa, Edo and Delta state will take just few hours by road.

The economic implications of this road if successfully completed and linking the proposed states is just to massive to imagine.

pansophist:
No, the visa will not become invalid during transit, as long as you fulfill the below conditions.

1. You will be in the sterile zone of the Schengen airport, also known as the international area. So you won't have to change airport, or stamp into the country, and stamp out again.
2. Your country of final destination is NOT a Schengen country
3. You are entering a Schengen airport from a non-schengen airport, and departing to a non-schengen airport. E.g., flying from Abuja to Paris, then leaving from the same airport from the sterile zone to Sao Paolo.

If you fulfill the above condition, then you won't have any issues, and your trip is lawful.

Before a visa can be considered used, you must have been stamped into the zone by the border guards. If you are not stamped, then your visa is considered unused.

The legal basis for what I wrote above is Article 3(5a) of the visa code, which states that holders of a valid uniform visa, national long-stay visa or residence permit issued by a Member State are exempted from the requirement to hold an airport transit visa.

The above article didn't state any exemption that a single entry Schengen visa automatically cancels the validity of the visa after transit. Having such a view is a narrow interpretation of that paragraph, and is also incorrect.

I think where your confusion comes from is confusing location with presence. Although you are located in e.g., Paris, from a legal perspective, you are not in France, as far as you are in the international area and didn't get your passport stamped into the country.

same way you are not in Nigeria if you are inside the Spanish embassy in Abuja. The Nigerian government cant arrest you there, since its considered Spain.

Don't forget that a visa in itself doesn't even permit entry to the zone, it's a privilege. So you might travel and be turned back at the point of entry, and from a legal perspective, you didn't enter the country yet.

So as far as you didn't get your passport stamped, you can enter and reenter and transit the Schengen as much as you like, you are safe.

Wow, what a detailed explanation. Thanks for taking your time to put this together all for the sake of knowledge share. 🙏 🙏

nonen:
Thanks guys for all your helpful responses. This misadventure ended up costing me over $5,000 to get new tickets for 4 persons after spending 3 additional days back and forth the airport

So sorry to hear this. Kindly advise other people on the current policy

pansophist:
No, you don't.

In accordance with article 3(5) of the Schengen Visa Code, Nigerians are exempt from airport transit visas if they hold a visa or residence permit issued by Canada, the US, and the UK.

Safe trip bro. Don't forget to buy stroopwafels at Schipol airport.

Pls is the holder of Schengen single entry visa also exempt from transit visa? Or will the visa be used for the transit and that's it?

The person has a Schengen single entry visa for a future trip. But wants to transit the Schengen zone to another country before this planned Schengen future trip.

There is this confusion if its appropriate to apply for a transit visa when there's an active Schengen visit visa on the passport, but unfortunately a single entry one.

Also, the other confusion is if the visa will become invalid after being used for transit nullifying the purpose for the visa for an intended future trip.

JaySterling:
if you are being selective of the question you answer, I think it’s high time you step away from this thread let someone more dedicated, committed, informed and sensible take over

What tf are you feeling like ?

Mtcheww

Are you okay at all? Nobody owes your nothing here. If you are not grateful for what is being given, you are free to hire an immigration agent that will be at your beck and call.

@cashmadam please ignore this entitled brat

Been to Kigali that is a good nation pretty babes but no beach

Go to their Lake Kivu beach and you'll be wowed

Ezeama400:
If the naira is naturally going down, it will instantly reflect on the prices of Products in the country


Have you asked yourself why dollar is going down yet prices of goods in the market are going up ? Where does such thing happen ?

From this part in bold, your level of reasoning does not worth any sensible engagement.

ScarletBrace:
Talking nonsense

You are obviously an ignoramus.

So you want Russia to go all in into the West and then get invaded from the East right?

Have you seen any premium Russian jet in action over Ukraine?

Has Russian bombers ever crossed into Ukraine? They are staying far away and firing missiles from the Caspian sea.

Russia is maintaining a readiness for NATO in case of an attack. It will never commit even 50% of its military resources to the Ukraine war.

jamesversion:
All this oil and gas that will last for 68 years and 97 years respectively, nonexistent in North and None in Yourubaland.

If they don't allow SS/SE to produce next president, all hell will let loose.

Stories. We have gone this path before. Nothing can be achieved by threat on social media.

Osanoghodua1:
Please, I didn't read all through I don't want to get angry, lols! Dangote refinery or his Modular refinery buying crude with naira? I don't totally understand this.

Yes, that's the best for the Nigerian economy and the naira.

fuckJones:
what of if dangote buy all the crude oil and sell in dollars?

I know dangote is a bad guy

That's the work of regulatory agencies.

It's not everybody that has the license to export crude.

Dangote should have the license to export only refined products.

This is good and a win for Nigeria!

It will strengthen the naira

Umueme:
Any direct interaction the U.S army has with the Russian army leads to WW3 asap. Both countries respect themselves.

Funny though how this war has lasted about 3 years now. Russia really thought Ukraine would be a walkover.

#LetThereBePeace

Russia is not using its full strength, they are maintaining readiness in case other countries intervene.

Unfortunately, the 25% of their forces they are committing is unable to defeat Ukraine.

AbuTwins:
Christians would always support Israel whether they are right or wrong!

Muslims will only support Muslims only on truth!

The end will surely be good for us!

Allah says what means: O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well­Acquainted with what you do. (Qur'an 4:135)

Hypocrite. Where's your condemnation of the October 7 attacks??

Ttipsy:
Why didn’t they slashed their prices before Airpeace had to announce cheaper price
?? Business indeed

Still business.

Your competitor initiates price reduction, you follow same.

This is called price war. Its all business.

Air Peace too that comes in at a lower price is engaging in strategic business positioning. Its all business. Airpeace should know that the other Airlines too will react, except if they do not know what they are doing.

When Glo came in those days with reduced price, all the other networks did same. Its all business.

Flame333:
I wish somebody else go still bring refinery come wey go make petrol go 200 Naira per liter

Exactly my thought. We need another huge refinery to compete with Dangote.

Ttipsy:
Other Airline operators slashing down their price to counter air peace is simply an oversight, mischievous and selfish

It's business

chikason22:
If not for corruption, what will give those bastard foreign airlines the gut to do what they're doing. Ripping us off.

We ha e everything in this country, but what we don't have is LEADERSHIP.
Jobless mofos like Helinues, Legendhero and other unfortunate agbadorians will not agree. They like supporting our oppressors.

I enjoined all patriotic Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion to patronize AIR PEACE and make those bastard foreign airlines pay for their years of evils against the Nigerian people.

I rest my case.

The Leadership is a microcosm of the people.

We are not nice people. We take advantage of each other at the slightest opportunity. Evidence abound all around in the offices, hospitals, markets, queues, etc

It is this same behavior that shows when people get elevated to a higher position. The behaviour has always been there. Everybody forming smart, and using nepotism to make judgement.

We are deceiving ourselves by looking at a phantom Leadership. This will continue till end of the world if we do not change our behaviour at the individual level.

No matter how many Leadership changes happen, the same result will be gotten until we change the mindset of a significant population say 70-80% of our people.
