Kingxiee: Guys, I need help on directions please. I'd be traveling to Lagos from Abuja by road through 'God is Good motors' and my destination is Mile 2. Now, what Terminal should I drop and what bus stop is close to Mile 2?
Book a ticket going to the Festac Terminal. Let the driver know that you will alight in Mile 2.

Arizona1: I've been looking for where to check the transmission oil for that volvo xc90 2006 model but I could not find it. A mechanic I asked said that model of Volvo does not have where to check transmission fluid level.
Change your mechanic. The dipstick is covered by the lower radiator hose.
Teetomania: I'm trying to get the yellow fever vaccine passport. Even though I know where and how to get it in Lagos, at the airport, I'm in Ogun state right now. Going back to Lagos when I'm close to where I want to travel to (Benin republic) doesn't make sense. I heard it can be obtained at Seme and Idiroko borders, I don't know how true or how to go about it. Please shed more light if you know. Thanks.
You heard right. Ask for the Port Health Services office in any of the locations and request for a yellow fever vaccination. Official price is ₦2,000 plus admin charges on Remita (https://yellowcardnigeria.com/users/adduser#)
You can also visit the Federal Secretariat Mosan, Abeokuta and ask for directions to the Port Health Services office.
N.B - The vaccine is supposed to be administered at least 2 weeks before travel. You will open yourself to extortion if you try to get the card very close to the intended travel date.
Thegamingorca: Boss abeg, did you need to change your money before traveling
I would advice you to change your money to USD before the travel. NGN to GHS rates are exorbitant where available.
There is a 50 USD payment for Covid19 Antigen test immediately you arrive Accra and AirPeace staff at the MMIA counter will request to see this before they issue you with a boarding pass.

KlassicTM: Now I've tried using an Access Visa card and now it's telling me spending limit exceeded when I haven't made any purchases with the card and what I'm buying is just $140.
ndidibabe: I have made up my mind to drive down to Ado Ekiti tommorow. However, due to the bad road, my husband suggested that I travel with his jeep which was registered in his name. All my ID has my maiden name include my driver's license. Will this be a problem at the 12 checking points that is between Ilesha and Ado? I want to be sure everything is right to make my journey as smooth as possible. Pls what do u think?
No it won't. Look responsible and make sure all vehicle and driving documents are up to date.
ndidibabe: You got me scared with this funeral stuff... Be like say na to join Bus o..
Do not let anybody scare you. Lagos to Ado is roughly 5 hours. The route thins out into a single lane once you branch off the Ilesa-Akure Express into Iwaraja. The checkpoints from Iwaraja to Ado are more than 10 and fully active so prepare to be stopped multiple times.
JackBaueress1: Back in those years, Festac Town had coconut trees almost in all closes. It was fun seeing coconuts fall and residents will rush to pick them up. The trees are almost in extinction now because the coconuts fall and smash car front windows.
Those that grew up in Festac Town like me in the 80s and 90s can relate to my story
honey001: Please, a repairer told me to buy half engine to this generator that it will function optimally, that the generator is a good one. Please, do anyone has an idea of how much the half engine cost?
Your repairer will make gain if he goes to buy the half engine.
The same repairer will make gain if he is the one to install the engine.
He will be waiting for you after 6 months when the half engines starts giving you issues.
My advice - if the engine is not Honda or Yamaha, save money to buy a new generating set. If you don't, your gen mechanic will be the most dialled contact on your phone.
CaptainChaox: Does anyone have any idea on the new policy the federal government implemented about the window period now being 6 weeks?
The Federal Government has said it is turning around the entire passport application process by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to six weeks.
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this today at a meeting with the Comptroller General of Immigration, Mohammad Babandede, passport officers, as well as the attaches in Nigeria Missions abroad, at the Immigration Headquarters, Sauka, Abuja.
In his speech titled ‘A NEW DAWN IN PASSPORT APPLICATION PROCESSING’, the Minister said, “We have had several challenges in the past, including shortage of booklets, touting, racketeering, inflating the cost, passports being issued to ineligible persons, among others. It has become imperative therefore to review our operations and rejig our system, in order to be able to offer excellent services to our clients.”
According to him, efforts are on to embed security operatives both seen and unseen, in all passport offices. “They will wear body cameras. They will detect and report any form of solicitations, inflation, improper communications, extortion, diversion, hoarding and other corrupt practices. Those caught will be dealt with according to the law,” he stressed.
The Minister disclosed further that an ombudsman will also be created for members of the public to receive complaints and reports on officers trying to deviate from prescribed guidelines and subversion of the process.
“Therefore, I am declaring a zero-tolerance stance to all forms of touting. No applicant will be made to pay any illegitimate fees,” he said.
Highlights of the meeting include but not limited to the following: i. Creation of special centres for expedited services. These special centres will run on public-private partnership basis. This has already taken off in Abuja and 10 more will be opened in the coming weeks as more of such centres will be opened all over the country. Our goal is to have one in each local government, university campuses, institutions of higher learning and other places.
II. A timeline will be fixed for every application i.e., a collection date. This will be six weeks, comparable to what obtains in other countries. This is to allow for enough time to investigate and validate personal information supplied by the applicants. What we are driving at is the peace of mind that comes from assurance of certainty. If there are circumstances that will make the date to change, it will be communicated to the applicant one week before the collection date.
iii. Applicants will have no basis for further communication with officers, other than to complete their application process and leave the venue. The date for the collection of their passports or any challenge to the application, will be communicated to them. The technology for the efficient running of this system has been acquired and will be deployed.
iv. To publish the list of the backlog of applications that are ready which are yet to be collected by the owners. They will be required to go to the State commands to collect them.
