When traveling out, go with your Nigerian Driver's license

Thanks for this head up bro, will need your guidance when the time comes soon..

BAZ001:


Bro I don pass every ooh. Without license you can’t register a car and drive here. (Own a title)
But the physical test na war, you must fail twice before you pass shaaa
You must use two hands throughout, if you take one hand off … Gbam failed.
If you want to reverse and you don’t look out for blind spot… Gbam failed.

Upon all my defensive driving and Lagos driving.
But guys gave me code on 2nd attempt and it worked… follow who know road.
Not all this old uncles

Modified: you can drive with Nigerian or intl license but you can’t register a car without yankee license. Cos he will soon come for me now

You don quick pass their driver’s test Abi na international license you Dey use

BAZ001:


Until una go put me for trouble

ReadaDream Na correct guy, he no follow dem do time na money… strategy (drive 15mins to pick for 700 trip, cos no traffic )

But Lagos is something else, na so so side mirrors dem dey target, dem break my side sotee my Igbo spare part seller called me on phone to come buy side mirror from someone that removed follow come to put fancy side mirrors.
since Ive been driving here, no single scratch at all on my car, tyre's intact no picking of nails, no pot hole, no muddy roads to dey wash car everyday.

Upon all my defensive driving lesson I go reach house still see yellow paint on my car… how ?when ? Lagos go humble you.

He didn’t speak like who wants to be educated mine is almost two years too

YeyeGbami:

Except he also didn’t commit an offense or wasn’t caught committing an offense

Pearl1910:


Since u have been given ticket even Sanwolu can't help except give u money to pay.
Before they gave u ticket u could have negotiated ur way out.

Oga no waste your time, was there a parking sign or Bustop where you dropped the passenger? If not you are just speaking English..Be patience and get your car out on monday

Olayetan:


Pls. Is there a line to call to lay complaint cuz i wasn't on highway when dropping my rider, I was on service lane.

Sorry bro, God is your strength but na You Fuckup, Lagos doesn’t give a second chance , learn and move on… next time if rider ask you to stop at a wrong place, you will make the right choice These are part of the steps to become a veteran…

Olayetan:
Ticket given to me for just dropping off a rider by service lane.

Imagine 50k fine for a country that pays 33k as minimum wage...

I'm just too sad right now

pufframmy:
which center

I got mine six weeks after capturing

KangaIye:
If you need your passport urgent do not go the DIY way, it's take 3 to 4 months before you get your booklet after payment.

Good day Sir/Mas please what is the present fee for Nhs and Visa ?

You will need to give a letter of authorization plus An id from you and that of the picker

prettyamebo:


?

Didn’t check, I went to drop it at the collection basket…

Canalmind:
Did you check with the servicom or went through to the collection center.

I will advise you wait till last week only ending of July but don’t bother checking at servicom, just go to collection center, drop your name and enrollment number in the basket

Demariz:
Hey y'all, i captured june 3rd and its been 6weeks already,how do i know the passport is ready? i wouldn't want to waste my time and money for nothing.

I have finally collected my passport today without paying shishi… Victory to TeamDIY…. And please don’t rely on that tracking site to get to the last lap, it was showing the second to the last stage but I decided to check on it after seven weeks of capturing… Total Cost = 26k each for both passport

AgentXxx:
Finally done with all approval, awaiting capturing at VIP 3 ... hoping I get captured soon...

They came in around 9am, first thing is they get your appointment page and verify your NIN, after that you are directed to an office where your files will be arranged for you then you proceed to approval for renewal but fresh will first get a confirmation then proceed to approval and it’s done in different places , don’t know if it’s just for kids...


Presently in approval stage, they seems to be delaying their purposely here cos have been here for almost 30mins now, yet to get my file and I need my old passport for my daughter’s approval and it’s with those doing approval....

Was asked for marriage certificate at my child approval section even though I will be debating it when I get back since am here with her mother and also can’t a divorced father get a passport for his daughter ? That is what am dragging with them as I didn’t come with any marriage certificate ....

Did you get the passport when you checked after 4weeks?

rotile247:


None of the above. The timeline according to Ministry of Interior: Renewal :3weeks after capture
New passport: 6 weeks after capture.
So for my renewal I went there on the 4th week after capture date.

Send me a message on WhatsApp.. I can share one that I used then to use set destination several times

Glithronix:

Ehmmm, before I forget - abeg show me how to use the set destination 4 times a day, abeg.
I fit DM you, sir?

BAZ001:


2022 is a year of stepping up and making progress.
Changing levels

Who is the next to step up ?

Emi lo kan…

You seems to be missing the point.. it’s not about your earning as you are not doing bad with your earning, it’s about working smart by reducing the amount of time you spend on the wheel blowing empty from one place to another, 3MB is about 15 to 20km and no smart driver will blow empty on it… from what you have stated earlier , you spend about 12hrs driving to gross your earning, think and work on ways to reducing your driving time to still get your normal earning … KEYNOTE from readadream “it’s only a matter of time before you burn out” …

Glithronix:

Boss, I got the messages and the lectures right.
Amma adjust and ensure I improve on that I improve on that.
I understand that y'all want me to maximize my earnings, I will adjust and improve.
Much respect, boss.

You are blessed my brother… Travel section has been my bae since January this year and it’s been of great help, thanks for this headsOn, hoping to share my japa in this thread soon

BAZ001:


For anybody that wants to jappa please don’t leave nairaland Travel section. Follow every post , event and opportunities there back to back.
In the core of Covid-19 guys found out an opportunity to UK and US was opened. I doubted myself , but still tried and it was locked trust Nigerians, them flood am chap chap, so I went on to post in the thread jokingly how them done lock up, right there a girl DM me that I should try Abuja and not Lagos, Gbam one hand Abuja never full... (tail end of Trump administration). To cut long story short every one that was qualified and keyed into that opening are in U.S or U.K. (I was among last set) By the time covid was over everybody just they hear jappa... jappa... you don’t know how long we dey d process, with prayer and fasting.

There is one opportunity that showed up for developers in Amazon (Canada, Ireland and United State). I got the info late and nairaland won’t allow me post link here.
The guys that jumped on it can be in the process for next 3years and when they jappa our American uncle will say they are not in USA but Canada that it’s not easy to move to U.S except you marry

So bro eyes open, hold your passport tight, save money and ready to sell your lands or property. It requires a lot of money

Here is my experience as a DIY applicant at Ibadan Office of NIS.


Good afternoon to you all. Its a lengthy one but if you take your time, you will find it worthy especially those that wants to do DIY.

I have been following this thread for years but just silent reader since i wasn't ready to apply for any passport.

Around March this year, I decided that it is time to get my passport because of incoming opportunities.

I went through like 50 new pages of the thread to gather latest new infos.

The journey begins;

I went through the web to read all the instructions before i begin my application and after going through it, i begin the application.

- I opened the portal www.passport.immigration.gov.ng and registered within 30mins.

- I copied out my application and reference number, it is a key DIY applicants must have on their phone anytime.

- Time for payment, my mastercard for declining for the payment. kept trying it for days using different options apart from paystack, the same thing, used different banks, the same issue persist I was like village no want make i apply). So i was already behind schedule. Without payment you can't choose appointment date.


- Some days later i open the portal login, i went through other payment options, i saw transfer options, called Sanna pay agent via their web and told me to ahead that they will confirm it within 30mins. I paid 25,000 and 500 as transaction fees making total of 25,500 qnd truly it was confirmed within 10mins and appears on my NIS application page that i have paid. I scaled that hurdle.

- I was like i will choose date later since na Ibadan, we no dey rush things like lag people make i rest small, something tells me to check on how their appointment page looks like, na so i went to through www.appointment.immigration.gov.ng, I paid around May 4th. All the remaining working days in may are fully booked. I said abi na my eyes dey pain me ni? I went through june, fully booked, i was like ha, so things be like this? Only July and August have space, i didn't choose date and left it.

- Few minutes later, i went back to book appointment, fortunately i saw an opening on June 8th, i sharply pick the date and save it for printing later. How did that happen, I don't know. I saved all the application on my phone. I went to business center and to get it printed.

-I have 5weeks of waiting for the appointed capturing date. Well i used the time to gather my documents, I couldn't get guarantor a week to the capturing date, because those i trusted to help as my guarantor are doing somehow even in Church, I let it slide. Chatted an old friend who is a big brother, he offered to help. He gave me his passport and ID to go and use it and bring it back whenever I am through with it this. He filled the form for me and signed. I can never forget that gesture forever.

- I went to local Government magistrate court near my house for the stamp, the man said #500, i sha bargain to #300 and got the stamp.
I went to do enough photocopies. This is just one day to the capturing.

I am ready for the capturing!

On June 8th, 2022. I left early, just an hour to my place, i got there 8.05am and i saw many people outside already. They ushered us in, we all sat down. One of the officers came to address us, they have a parade we should wait until they finished. They spent an hour on the parade ground.

Everyone went to their various offices, the officers brought files, and started calling names, mumu me sat and expecting my name to be called.

I waited for over two hours, i was like what is going on here? Not knowing my real journey just started.

THE REAL JOURNEY

I stood up and approached the officer who just finished calling names. Sir, i didn't hear my name for capturing, he said who is handling my files, i said myself. He asked why? I told him i applied online, he looked at me from head to toe, and hissed! He left! I was dumbfounded and disappointed.

I saw another officer and approached him, i told him my predicament, and i quote him "ha ha, you for don come before capturing date, you never do anything, you just applied, you never do anything. Online application have several stages which includes:"
i. Documents arrangements
ii. Account checking
iii. Verification
iv. Interview
v. Capturing

He said i can't capture that day again, i have to follow the due process first. He directed me to the office where my documents will be properly arranged. I went there, the officer who was on sit is a nice man, he sorted the files, gave me offline application form, almost same form we filled online, told me to go and do 10 photocopies . When i got to the photocopy shop, the one woman said #100/copy.

The vex wey i vex leave the place, i went out and bargain with a guy outside the NIS compound, he did it 3 for #50 for me. I rushed back inside, the man told me to fill the form and collected the remaining, i did so. He also told me to write a letter, i asked for a sample and he gave me one . After writing the letter, he brought a [b]brown file[/b]and attached the documents with it.

He told to go and come back after an hour. I did. Where they took my file to, the officer said they can't do anything again because there are too many crowd. He told me to come back next week (15th June). I collected his number. I chat him two days later and he told me, they have gone through my files and is ready for capturing. I was happy.

On june 15th, i left early as usual. I went straight to the office, and asked the office about my file, na there i know say the officer dey lie. He didn't even know where they kept DIY files again. They were looking everywhere for almost 20mins before they finally saw it. You can imagine. I saw some DIY files which are already dusty and unattended to.

I collected my file, i wanted to get angry. I calm my nerves, he directed me to where do my account checking. He supposed to be the one to carry the files around and get it signed. Here i am, doing his job. But if I don't do it, my file won't be attended to unless i pay, which i have vowed not to give any officer shishi.

Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for other offline applicants, the NIS capturing portal was totally down. So they couldn't do anything, so the officers have time for other things. They have my time now since all their applicants they collected money from, no network to capture them.

I went to the account office, they checked online to be sure i really paid online. And i went for verification, few minutes later. The called me and two other offline applicants for interview. Everything went fast because they have nothing to do that period. The person that interview DIY is different from those that paid through agents. The man was nice. He was shocked that i haven't got captured and asked what the problem was, i told him. He said those officers lied to me, i could have done all everything same day i came last week.

He didn't even looked at my file that much, just glanced through it and signed every documents. He told me to take it back to verification unit, and he informed that Officer to take my file to the capturing unit which he did. I was relieved! It was around 2pm and capturing portal is still down.

Come and see film, some applicants who paid to some officers started shouting at them showing their frustrations. The officers were running up and down sweating. Why? The state controller is around and anyone caught lasan, you go collect kiakia.

When i see that the portal not coming up, there is Ibadan North local government secretariat sharing fence with NIS. I went to their INEC office, the gate man said they can't attend to anyone again time has gone. I was at the gate and saw of one of the Inec staff, i pleaded, told the gateman to open it for me. I went in, did my Inec registration within 10mins and i left. I don use 1 stone kills 2 birds bayen.


I went back, capturing never comes up, but that man at the interview session have told me, son do everything to get captured today because tomorrow or next week is not guaranteed. So i keep waiting, half of those to be captured have left.

We remain like 100+, around 5:25pm, portal came back. So they came with files and call to know who are still there for capturing. I was called among, then i knew i am 75% done! So by 7:30pm, i was called in, portal went off for another 20mins. Came back again. I was captured around 7:55pm. It was dark already.

After capturing, they gave me a piece of paper. Me i no send, i wanted to be sure, then i check www.track.immigration.gov.ng and i saw that my application is at production stage. I left!

Then i went into the production side and i was told to check within three to five weeks it will be out.

Note:

From my experience and mistakes;

1. If you are doing DIY, go there before capturing date, sort your files out till it reaches capturing unit. Then come on the capturing date. If you miss the capturing date, they can do it any day you go there, IF you tip officers at the capturing unit. No need to do reapportionment online again because online is fully booked till may August/September. Those agents are making it more complicated because they choose dates for their applicants too online.

2. What DIY applicants are doing is the same those officers are doing if you pay to them. What they do is, since they work there, they will fast track it. They also applied for you online.

3. If you are rushing to get your passport, DIY is not the best for you. The frustrations alone, many can't deal with it.

4. Many still don't know they can apply themselves. I have to create the awareness for applicants who paid to officers there. Some paid 50k, 70k depending on how the officer prey on their gullibility.

5. If you can negotiate with your agent and agree on 35k -40k, pls go for the agent because the 10k to 15k worth the stress especially if you are a busy type.

6. You can DIY and still pay like 10k to fast track your passport depending on how fast you need it.

7. You can pay to officers and still get delayed. So be sure the options that suite you.

8. DIY applicants are respected because they don't know who is who and nobody wants to loose their job. So they are being careful attending to you, they only use body language to frustrate you.

9. Do every photocopies before coming in or else photocopies go chop all of your money.

10. In Ibadan office, throughout the day i did capturing, out of 100s of files, only 3 are DIY and DIY uses brown file. While others uses white file.

I will stop here for now, sorry for length post, i hope new applicants can learn from it. Questions are welcome.

Thank you.
