Travel / Re: White Lady Complains About The Difficulty In Getting Nigerian Permit (video) by Akwukalia: 2:03pm On Nov 20, 2023
Monaboo:
To get her Nigerian Permit, she needs to meet up with the following criteria's

1) She needs to write WASSCE and have nothing less than a B2 in English Language.

2) She also needs to learn Pidgin English and speak it fluently becos she would be tested on it on the day of her Nigerian Visa interview.

3) She needs have POF of nothing less than N500M in her account. We don't want foreign beggars roaming the streets of Nigeria.
Lol, you're funny.
She is Switz, & have been annually visiting Nigeria for over 14years with her family (Kids & husband).
Search for Nwanyiocha on Facebook & twitter, she speaks Igbo fluently more than some people born in Igboland, she speaks English & Pidgin too.
After she made the video, lots of +234 twitter tagged Immigration & Minister of Interior. It seems it paid off & something positive is on the way as she confirmed Abuja people
from interior ministry contacted her & got involved.
Nwanyiocha is one of the biggest promoter of Igbo culture

Pls I need Urgent response!
I am traveling to London Heathrow via Cotonou on Turkish airlines. I have skilled worker visa and I will like to know the documents I need to be able to board the plane.
If you have travelled through Cotonou on Turkish airlines kindly share your experience.
Thanks
Screenshot your question to someone who traveled to the UK last week via Cotonou,& these was his response (would have attached screenshot but I don't know what is wrong with Nairaland)

You don't need anything

(1) : Print your boarding pass & go with your passport

(2) : Your passport *MUST* be stamped at the boarder else you won't be allowed to fly

(3) : Your check-in šŸ›« bags šŸ›ļø are allowed to weigh up to 23.4kg each and *NOT* 23.5kg

(4) : Maintain 8kg on your hand luggage šŸ§³ & if you're carrying a back pack or a hand bag, make sure it is not looking heavy, else you'll be asked to pay
**********

That's All, happy flying

Education / Re: Sexual Harassment: UNIZIK Launches ā€˜Operation Speak Outā€™ by Akwukalia: 6:16pm On Sep 18, 2023
Nice one from my Alma mata...
There should also be a decent dress code. All these small small diploma & year 1 students are something else. Most parents have no idea what their children are doing in school environment, going to university is an opportunity for some of them to explore & live wayward lifestyle they couldn't have while at home. If only some parents can visit their children unannounced, they'd be surprised what their wards have turned into. These girls(most especially yr1) dress half naked without bra walking around in the evening from 6pm upwards, from Miracle junction to school gate down to Next Level & beyond. Ifite is something else, that's where they're. Sigh šŸ˜”šŸ˜ž

Romance / Re: I Love My Colleague But She Has A Boyfriend by Akwukalia: 6:32am On Aug 23, 2023
MISTAICEY02288:


Hmmm Okay Bro. Well hereā€™s my take on this. In as much as you like this lady and consider her as ambitious and focused, which every sane Man would love to have as partner of course. I would still advise you maintain your friendship with her and if possible, make the friendship more solid as you can always tap from her business and entrepreneurial ideas and knowledge still. You already said she made it clear to you that she has a Man already and she would NEVER double date too. Even if she agrees to double-date, Iā€™m sure you wouldnā€™t be comfortable being a side guy to her or you being the Main guy knowing thereā€™s also a side guy somewhere too. You will obviously have your insecurities about the situation and the relationship will be problematic in the process.

Since sheā€™s cool with you being friend and doesnā€™t wanna lose the friendship, you should keep it that way. After all, you donā€™t have to be in a relationship with her before you both tap some knowledge from each other, you can still do that while being friends. If you really want to be her Man, that will be if she ends her affair with her current guy. And please, whatever you do, DO NOT, be the one to persuade, tell or pressure her to call it quits with that guy. That will be unfair and nemesis might catch up with you later on. Instead, just go with the flow as it is now and see what the universe and nature has in stock for you both. If you both will end up being couples, trust me, it will happen cos things might just go wrong with her relationship with that guy. And if itā€™s not designed to be that way, be happy and enjoy your friendship with her. But like I said, do not be the one to ruin their relationship.
Good bless you..
God bless you too, thanks...
Romance / Re: I Love My Colleague But She Has A Boyfriend by Akwukalia: 5:50pm On Aug 21, 2023
MISTAICEY02288:
Lol.. You're obviously the problem MR. I am a Man too and I will tell you the truth. Since that lady has told you she is in a relationship and she stands by her words, why not let her be and keep it moving? Also, You don't have to be bitter towards her all because she turned down your advances. If you are to be the other guy she is dating and wants to get married to, would you be happy someone, especially your soon to be Wife's Colleague snatches her away from you? Do you know how much the guy has invested in the relationship and how far they've gone together? Leave that lady alone and look for your woman elsewhere! It's not even advisable to get involved in Workplace romance. I find it cringy and believe me, most of such relationships don't end well. How do you have relationship with someone you see at home daily and still see each other at work? Na wah!

Since she has made it clear she doesn't want you, you don't have to be cold to her for her nice gestures towards you. Its fine if you reduce your closeness with her a bit, at least for you to get over whatever you're nursing in your mind towards her, but don't be harsh or cold to her regardless, especially when she still tries to be nice around you. You should balance the situation...
I had to login because I am in a similar scenario. I seek your wise counsel & that of others.....
After over 3 weeks of WhatsApp & calls, we went on a date, spent over 3hours there. Told me because of her mom's pressure, she recently started a new relationship (distant one) after 2years of singlehood & she doesn't double date, never did & never will, but she likes me blablabla. Told her I appreciate her sincerity & wouldn't want to be an asunder that I wish her good luck. She got angry & said we are still friends, she likes me & that man propose but God have the final say. Told her thanks for liking me but I cannot be an option or a fallback plan. Discussed with my friend & he said I should play along & pipe.
Here is my dilemma, in the cause of our discussions, I found out this girl is loaded with ideas, her entrepreneurial drive is top notch. She opened my eyes/brains to some money making opportunities I never knew existed or I looked down on. We discussed alot of things & she is very current. Stylishly asked about telemundo, bbnaija & the likes, but she told me she is not a fan of any, if it's not about making money & expanding her brand she doesn't bother. The only 2 category of ladies I can really want is either a career lady or a business minded lady. What's your advice senior ?

Travel / Re: Nigerians Keep Embarrassing The Country And Continent Abroad by Akwukalia: 12:21pm On Apr 23, 2023
Dgrant:

The Western world and the entire Europe want to keep justifying their behavior towards us and incidents like this will further validate their perception about us. We see how they treat us at airports, in the streets, random search etc and we wonder why? it's because we have no respect for ourselves and if you don't respect yourself, who will respect you? I decided to distant myself from the guys involved but to what end? we have same skin color and they see us as all hungry people and scammers.
You did the right thing, just keep being yourself and upholding the good morals expected of you. With time, they'll separate the beans from the shaft

N.B: Please ignore my beards, barding and shaving isn't cheap in this country, it goes up to Ā£15 to Ā£25 per cut and sometime more, depending on where you live. Na to buy clipper begin cut myself.
Thank God I am bald, na to learn barbing before I jakpa so that I will be barbing myself & saving money. Can't leave home to hustle in a foreign land then minor things will be taking up my savings. Mbanu

Politics / Re: Labour Partyā€™s Tony Nwoye Defeats Stella Oduah, Ex-first Lady, Ebele Obiano by Akwukalia: 3:01pm On Feb 27, 2023
Azyne:
Nwoye is a dangerous Tout but won under the influence of PO and LP. If he dares to defect to another party later on thunder will fire him.

People were just voting LP top to bottom, Oduah would have been more preferable. As for Chicken feather wig woman, she never see anything. After you and your husband plundered the state and completely wrecked it you're back to do what? This can only happen in Nigeria cause in Saner climes she and her husband would have been cooling off in jail by now

She thinks it's by looking pitiful and miserable, Ndi oshi azuru azu
On what ground are you saying Stella would have been more preferable? She's been in govt for years, What are her scorecard & achievement in the national assembly for Anambra North & her Ogbaru LGA in particular? Do you know that in her own LGA (Ogbaru) the only motorable road is an eyesore. The deathtrap of a road ended in Osamala, the people from Obeagwe, Akili-ogidi & Ogwu are cut off, for you to get to these agrarian communities you've to use the speed boat at the river bank in Osamala, it is even worse during rainy season, because of boat capsize & people dying.
Even though I have my reservation about Tony based on Arthur Eze's boy & an alleged thug, I was told he did well for his community as a private individual, mounting street lights & tarring roads. I supported Stella & Campaigned for her in 2015 & 2019, but she bleeped up big time & should go & rest. We shouldn't re-enforce failure. If Tony do anyhow, or fail to deliver the dividends of democracy, we'll vote him out in 2027. Period!!!

Okay guys, here's how it's going to be.

Firstly, It'll be 10k for 27 people.

Secondly, I see lot of first come first serve suggestions on the first 3 pages. I was tempted to go with that idea as it will make my life easier but then I realized that people posted with lots of alternate accounts. Hence the idea of FCFS is not making sense at this time.

There were other suggestions as well but here's how it will play out.


I will create a separate thread and at exactly 10:27PM naija time, I will post a set of questions on the new thread. These will be simple questions and the best 27 answers will be selected.

NOTE: You will only have 10 minutes to answer. At exactly 10:38PM naija time, no more answers will be accepted.
And for the space bookers, I would not say you shouldn't.

I'll post the link to the new thread on the first page of this thread later today.

Dependants are not required to do English Test

Test of English or proof of Degree taught in english, whichever is available is only mandatory for MA

Although, Test of English or Proof of Degree taught in English is only mandatory for the Main Applicant. Nevertheless, on getting to the UK, a Dependant who wish to switch from Dependant Visa to a Sponsorship Visa will still need it over there to switch over.
So demmysoft take note. In Nigeria, you don't need it to apply for a Dependant Visa, but in the UK, you'll need it to switch from a Dependant Visa to a Sponsorship Visa if you get a job that is willing to Sponsor you while in the UK. I hope I am not confusing you sha

Because Ndoni is closer to Igbos in Delta than Igbos in SE, even the councilor bears Igbo name. Go & study your map!!!
Just as River Niger separates Onitsha in Anambra State from Asaba(Oko) in Delta state, that's same way River Niger separates Ndoni in Rivers state from Aboh(Home town of Uti Nwachukwu & Headquarters of Ndokwa East LGA) in Delta state
******"""""******"""""******
The title is misleading, Ndoni is NOT & CAN NEVER BE AN HAUSA FISHING ļæ½ COMMUNITY. Go & tell that to Peter Odili who is from Ndoni that his community is an Hausa ļæ½ fishing community. Yes hausas are there fishing, just like other communities, but Ndoni is not an Hausa community.

waleMac:


Lemme say itā€™s the best but only 99% if you block it in France,
Ure a student, two big questions come to mind, solve it and Ure good to go

1- How dyu fully fund urself for the whole of your stay in France

Your account should be big enough to accommodate
- The full school fees (not deposit), Accomodation (not hotel or airBnb rooms) and some Misc. for CVEC, OFII, Bank account, Stationery, Transport
- then you should have ā‚¬650 x number of months of your stay ( at least 50% )

2- whatā€™s the evidence that all the money in your account are not borrowed. Itā€™s yours ?
- prove with bank statements money flow in and out (not a single transfer from anybody).

Hope itā€™s clear, either way personal funding is the best especially when blocked
Just curious, what do you mean when you say it is the best when blocked in France? What of self-sponsoring students ?
