Hello I’m trying to get Nigerian passport for my toddler as soon as possible.

He was born here and has no means of identification whatsoever.

Can anyone please help with tips and steps to make this possible? Hoping to get it before the end of the year.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks bro but sorry to disappoint you, it wasn’t manual o as I do not see any reason to stress myself to learn manual when i stopped driving manual about 7years ago. Good luck to you 🤞🏾

Hkana:


Congratulations. Your post has given me a bit of hope. I'm currently learning to drive using a manual and I'm almost at my wits end. Lol.

Was yours a manual test?

Exactly, this whole thing taught me knowledge should take precedence before action. Which is the other way round in Nigeria. They would tell you you will catch up while doing the action 😂

jedisco:



Lol... it was a comedy of basic errors. For most, it's anxiety which didn't appear to be an major issue with you.

I think you were being over-confident and undermining the test cos its straightforward. Confidence should come from knowledge no be only bravado.
Perhaps, if you had settled down, taken 10 - 20hr spaced-out lessons, you might have pulled through on your first attempt.

Thanks bro 🙏🏾 , Rules wey dem no dey follow, that one na rule? 😂 everything in Nigeria is about who is faster 😂

Cyberknight:


Congrats. "Traffic on the road has priority over traffic joining the road", and "Give way to traffic on your left at roundabouts" are rules of the road in Nigeria o . We do have rules, even though few obey them.

jedisco:


Hehe.. Big congrats.

Forget luck, lemme ask, what caused the 5 failed practical attempts?
You wouldn't blame 9ja for the faild theory attempts.

First one ( decided to try myself on without prior lessons, failed in my observation as we do not have the 6points check in Nigeria driving and also failed at the roundabout) as we don’t have the give way to right issh in Nigeria, na who fast pass 😂.

Second one (after 6hrs lessons, I didn’t position well at the roundabout again as I was turning third exit at the right and I was meant to be positioned inside more) this isn’t also taught in Nigeria driving.

Third one after 6hrs lesson again( very silly mistake and I failed from the beginning, we parked on the right side of the road at the driving centre. When we were about to move, for a seconds I forget it is left hand driving so I moved out while being on the right before I could swap to left, dem press break.

Fourth one after 2hrs lesson, (was also silly just as the third one and it was close to the end of the test, I got to a junction to go right and I forgot to keep left for a seconds and started moving right before I knew it, dem hammer break)

Fifth one was today Didn’t take any lessons and it was smooth and came out with three minors.

NB: I never drove with my Nigeria license when I got here. Observation, Roundabouts, Owning the road over those coming from side roads, pedestrian crossing etc are not a common knowledge in Nigeria driving oo.

Make Una help me jubilate oo, After 3 theory test attempts , 5 practical test attempts, Over 2k£ spent between booking test dates, a car for each tests and driving lessons, I have finally passed today 🍾🥳

Despite having 14yrs experience of driving through the nook and crook of Nigeria thinking I was a professional driver, my doubt was cleared and I had to relearn and throw a way the bad habits .

As Oga Lexus once said “the more years you spent driving the Nigeria roads, the more lessons and trainings you would need to pass unless you are among the few lucky ones. 😂

If she passed and she doesn’t owe any fee then she can go ahead and apply.

Tboy0777:
Hi, my wife is an international student. She failed a module and was asked to resit. Now she has done the resit, the results came out last week and she passed but she hasn’t been awarded a certificate yet. Her student visa expires in second week of September . Can she go ahead and apply for PSW if she hasn’t been awarded a certificate before her visa expires. Thank you

Tbh, I doubt if you would find a one bed or two bed for less than 1k in SE London. The least you would get a 1bed (if you are lucky) is around 1250, just forget about 2bed. Most studio apartment are going for 800 to 1k

Umeleeds:
Good morning All
👋
Please if anyone gets information on a 2 or 1 bedroom flat for rent available to families, and (not a shared space, multiple occupancy ) within south-east London for below £1000 (unfurnished or otherwise)
Kindly let me know please

lol the page was even created about 7days. Everything smell scam.

True. He sounds dubious. Who vouches for people they don't know?

Gurus please recommend a good MacBook Air for me to buy. 🙏🏿

What you intend to use it for and your budget will be the main factor. Any MBA from 2020 is superb with at least 8Gb RAM. If money dey go for 16GB RAM. SSD size will depend on if you would saving large files on it but at least 512GB should be okay.

Looking forward to sharing your story as that would really be helpful. Thanks

iluvtotodie:
The importance of joining a trade union cannot be overemphasized. I hope someday I'll have that strength to share my story. If you're working in healthcare sector (not limiting it to this) please join a trade union. God just saved me from what i don't know how to put words together in other
to explain.

Join a union! I take God be una wey dey this UK

Thank you bro 🙏🏾

Here - visabot.eu

😳 Thanks for this, I would read more about the orange carpet. do you know of any reason why it wouldn’t be expedited? Since it’s like a 3days event so I am definitely not going to overstay.

OlaLiberty:
Just ask your company to book for Orange carpet for you. You will be able to attend the interview say tomorrow but it does not quarantee that your visa application decision would be expedited

Hi all,

Can someone please share that bot for finding a close appointment date for Schengen visa? I have a company sponsored Expo for Nov 6 in Amsterdam and I was seeing on their site that visa application must be made at least 45days earlier.

Can anyone also share if there is a way my company could be of help to fast track the visa process? I am currently thinking of applying by myself.

Thank you

#Fact!!!

I'm a Man Utd fan too and na Maguire drop aspire to Maguire lamba pass cos baba na otu

Now we are progressing. Great points listed 👍🏾

Miss Jekyll, I hope you are taking notes. Please take it to the Oga at the top as the labour spoke person in this forum 😀

Goodenoch:


Decisive enforcement and long prison sentences for deterrence whether it's sexual assault, grooming, racist attacks and incitement or whatever else.

Assessing and (changing as neccessary) the immigration system for sustainability and making sure when they do that they don't constantly bash immigrants.

Process asylum seekers quickly and either grant them asylum or refuse them and return them if they're found to be ineligible.

Stop the bleeding of taxpayer money to government cronies like the Tories did with Baronness Mone and other party donors. Use they money to improve deprived areas and educate the unemployed and unemployable.

Invest more into the Healthcare system to get more people on long term sick back to work.

Problems, Causes and Solutions is how I would like us to view this issue.

Problems - Thugs attacking and attempting to murder immigrants and asylum seekers.

Is this right? No!!! And I believe every sane person would agree. So I would assume we are passed this stage .

Causes - Most of us are jumping this part.

Is this caused by immigrants or asylum seekers?
No!!!! I believe every sane person would agree.

Is this caused by government? I believe most if not all of us would agree.

How is government the cause? Zahra29 points it out and we all flare up 😊.

Can anyone of those against her points list out how the government are the cause? 🙏🏾


Once the above becomes known, it is easier to move to the last stage.

Solution
(Temporary): Government is stern about not tolerating this act, arrests and jail this thugs.
(Permanent ): The root cause is needed to get a permanent solution

This takes us back to my initial question: Aside points listed by Zahra29 , can any other person list out the causes?

Thank you.

We have agreement on some things just in case you are doubting. Yes, it is terrorism and attempt to murder people, it is not acceptable, they should be severely punished and jailed. Immigrants/Asylum seekers are not the cause of their problem.

Now let’s get back to the question. What should the government do to permanently resolve this? Or you think it would end with just jailing some thugs?

Goodenoch:


What is in question is violence not merely aggression, which can vary from a stern face to clipped sentences and up to violence, assault and murder.

Stop being mealy-mouthed and be specific - say expressly if you think being angry at your boss would be an 'underlying cause' for setting your children on fire.

That's what we're discussing here. If a million people protested peacefully saying they don't want migrants of any kind, I wouldn't complain. It's their democratic right. If they vote, as they did, for a party with aggressive views about migrants, same thing.

What we're seeing is terrorism and attempts to murder people. Be bold and answer like you were asked if you believe you also share responsibility for those merely by virtue of being in the country as an immigrant.

Are you just reading to reply and argue? 😒Anyways your answer lies in my last paragraph, kindly read all over to understand the point.

Mind you most (if not all) parents have fallen into the narrated scenario at one time in their life.

missjekyll:


So the next time I feel aggrieved ,can I attack my neighbours too? Instead of petitioning the government the actual cause of my woes,can I burn down the travelodge with people in them?
Was that an equal reaction?

I would like to request that we personalise this discussion. Instead of just saying "immigrants" say "I" , "my job" etc etc. See if you still want to accept any responsibility for these riots. I ,an immigrant ,do not accept any of the responsibility for these riots.
I return them squarely back to the rioters . None of my actions caused this. They own this 100%.

As a Man Utd fan, I no agree with that “aspire to maguire” because na aspire to be shit niyen 😌

hustla:



Still valid.

Since writing these posts, all my guys have now gotten jobs in the UK

Last one called on Tuesday to say he would be resuming a Cloud Engineer role at the end of the month

The country tries to limit you but always bet on yourself and you will always win. Strive for better, always aim for the top and aspire not to be a bottom feeder. If you work in a care home, strive to be a manager, if a warehouse, try to be a line manager.

Make Nigerians sef dey occupy top roles, those wey dey there no get two heads like my mother would always say (aspire to maguire )

You fit run am, those wey dey run am no get two heads -

In the words of legendary Nigerian musician NairaMarley "Heyyyyssssssssssssssss, ma fo"

missjekyll:
Debriefing.

I think the worst of these riots are over now. I have switched my summer plans back on. If you ,like me, love schadenfreude, then we are both in for a treat watching these mouthbreathers get banged up in jail.

These riots made me have a rethink of my place in this country ( am I wanted,is there a future for me etcetera) but, after watching the quick reaction from the government and the massive outpouring of support from the people of the UK,I feel secure once again.
It will take a while to heal the wounds from the riots and some of our children may never forget it but it is hoped that the wrath of the state visited on these miscreants will start to sew these wounds together.please feel free to share your own thoughts on this unfortunate events and the best way to heal as a community.

Having said that, I ve read from quite a few people on here that Zahra's views are right and the problem was the timing.

If I m not mistaken,her contention is that the rioters have legitimate grievances for the violence visited on all of us this past week. That they have been victims of deprivation,poverty directly linked to us immigrants. And that is why they decided to maim us and destroy livelihoods .

I say that is not true. I have no powers except that vested in me by occupying the office of the citizen. I pay my taxes dutifully and work in the public service of this country. No-one in the country could be found to do my job when I migrated(still can't be replaced even now).I haven't taken any jobs.i make no policies.
If anything, I am also a victim of deprivation and poverty directly linked to disastrous government policies.

You can now see why I have an issue with the content of her messaging.

(I stand to be corrected if I misread her message)

I am totally in agreement with the first two paragraphs but like you stated the government and good people of Britain has assured that those thugs do not represent them.

On Zahra29 point

There is a difference betweeen having a point in a discussion and being right. In the aspect of the underlying issues, I totally agree with her, I am a science student and a law in physic states that “For every action, there is a reaction”. the debate now moves to “is that the right channel the reaction is to be directed to?” and I believe this is exactly Zahra29’s view and not like she is supporting their violence attitude when she is also prone to be a victim.

The situation can be likened to a father/mother who had a bad day at work probably due to a bad manager then arrives home and transfers aggression to his/her kids. Is the father right? No!!! But is there an underlying cause if looked into that could potentially stop such reaction? Yes! Either the father/mother stands up with the oppressive boss/leave the job/ learn to manage their emotion.

I hope I have been able to shed a bit of light to what u understand about Zahra29’s point raised.

Exactly… What is life w/out diversity in views and opinions…

justwise:


I;m totally with you on this, i got no prob with Zahra's view on this but i have prob with the timing.

Let me also say this for a record, we need people that see things differently like Zahra and put it out without personal attack.

Zahra29

The main issue people are having with your comment which you seems not to grab is the timing of your arguments. It should come later when it is all calm and not at the moment when POC are living in fear being harmed or maimed.

If your family were in the position of harm during this riot, I believe you wouldn’t come here defending why they were being attacked.

An important aspect of emotional intelligence is timing.

Are you talking from a point of experience or hearsay? As I do not want to believe this.

Hi,
I saw your mail and I did reply it do you could respond.

1) CRM(Customer Relationship Manager) right? This isn’t specifically IT related except you are working for a tech company but it is still marketing related. Saas(Software as a service) is not a part of IT but a name for a service.

There are various Saas applications and this depends largely on the organisation. We used a lots in my organisation among them are FreshService, Dropbox, M365 etc. you can learn all.

My advise is to figure what part of tech you want to go into then do recognised courses related to it.

Typing isn’t the best form of communication . If you can reach out via call +2348054818393 then we may be able to discussed better.

That is the job link though even though we already got people shortlisted.

PMKeirStarmerer:
Hello Agentxxx,
I am mentioning you on this thread to see if I can get some attention, please.
1. I am making a 360 degrees switch into IT, specifically CRM and SaaS.
I saw in your post on UK thread that you even enrolled a subordinate for an SaaS course which your company uses =
Please what SaaS is that please?
I want to get as much exposure as possible.

I have already obtained a couple of certifications in Salesforce.
I have also got some hands on experience with Microsoft Dynamics. I am thinking of learning some ServiceNow, and Hubspot in my horizon.

Please I need your advice/help/recommendation.

I saw also that you mentioned briefly that your company may be wanting to employ a Junuor IT role. Please can you help tell me more? Even if the role has been filled. I will be happy to see the advert script for the role. This will help me know the requirements and help me fill in any skill gaps.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for this great input. His business is registered and he does annual tax returns but doesn’t pay himself which I plan on making him start this month end.

He is eager to witness a climate different to the typical Nigeria weather so it was his choice to come during winter 😌

Do you have an idea how much he would need to sponsor himself? We should be able to get a SOA (within 4months) to support this as he also gets income from rents.

missjekyll:


For his business, he needs tax receipts,financial statements that show enough turnover to justify his salary from his business.
Have you got those?then don't mention his business.

2nd way is to sponsor him. His ties in that case will be his young family. He is retired and focused on parenting his toddler while his wife works outside the home.
He is family focused and keeps an eye on all his children even the adult ones.
Thats how I would sell it to the EO to come over in December which is just 4 months away.

While this arrangement is common here,it's unusual at home and you would need to sell it very hard to the EO who may not buy it.

3rd and best option: postpone till spring. He should register his business and pay tax then pay himself a salary.
You pay him a stipend regularly. Enough for him to sponsor himself .

It ll be spring then too and better weather

Thanks for the input…. How many months of SOA did you provide for yourself and your mum’s account?

Lolli2pop:


I don’t really the tax receipts are necessary ohh.. my mum has visited the uk twice to pay me a visit. Shes a business owner. On both occasions i declared her business and claimed she was paying hereelf like 300k every month. The only SOA i had to submit on her part was the account where she was receiving 300k monthly. I have never included an account of the business nor any tax receipts.

Lastly after all the above, i always add my statements because i always let the ECO know that i am sponsoring her fully.

As for the ties, we have evidence that would cover like his business as you suggest plus properties, and also I have a step sister (who is just 2yrs) and step mother who I believe should strengthen his tie back home. Won’t they be an enquiry to his savings? Also what is needed to prove his business? Like how much would I need to show to to be submitted and would it be in form of a statement of account? If Yes, how many months?

directonpc:


Boss. I think your Dad can even use his savings as POF, and you mention in the application that you'll be covering the expenses for his trip. Maybe you need to add other stuff (including the business) as tires to Nigeria.

Tbh, we haven’t decided yet but anyone whose finance would make the visa application easy and straightforward. kindly advise on the best method.

justwise:


Who will be sponsoring the visit?

Hi Elders,

I am trying to bring my dad to visit by December. He runs his own business and he hasn’t been paying himself (typical of Nigerian sole proprietor business owners). Now I need advise on how to rectify his finance for his visa application. How many months of statements would need to be submitted as I was thinking of making him open an account and start paying from his company’s account at least 500k to 1m as savings for his travel. Would this work out? Or is there a better way of proving his finance? Your advise is sincerely sought after.

Thanks 🙏🏾

NOTE: he wouldn’t be paying for hotel as he would be staying with us.

Replied…
