Take that small cover before the letter P off.

Use an object or key to depress the button there and shift gear to park.

Your case is very much better, get a new admission letter and Letter of presence. Your previous visa application will be rejected so what you will do is to appeal.





Let him get the above and send to the embassy via email.

Also print all the above and take to the embassy request for an update politely from Paulinus and plead with him to asisst you in whatever way he can on the status of your visa.

Good luck

OP did well but was not just totally ready to share his story.

Private life
Your girlfriend/Spouse will never agree with your opinions 100%
Same with parents,siblings,uncles and aunts,children, in laws etc

Public life
Your teachers/Lecturers will never agree with your thoughts and opinion 100%
Same with employers and employees
Domestic staff,friends etc

And you now get worked up on a public forum like nairaland because people disagreed with you.

Properties / Re: Lagos To Deliver Sangotedo, Lekki Housing Schemes Before Year End by asamwababy: 7:52pm On Aug 27, 2020
Onlinealaba:
Have they allocated the ones at igando Nice houses though

This govt is not serious at all.

Igando yet to be allocated.

Gbagada that was built by Fashola going to almost 6 years now still not allocated.

Funny govt and the Gbagaga scheme was next to the Lsdpc where he was MD.

Ilubirin abandoned half way.

Ikorodu road that was scrapped for re laying of asphalt during lockdown abandoned.

Light rail abandoned.

Then you go on to develop new ones turning the whole city into an abandoned construction yard.

The governor has eyes and they drive him through this projects daily,knowing fully well the challenges of accommodation in Lagos.

The embassy is fully functional.

They re just worried about the delay in commencement of intl flight and how many can duly afford evacuation flights if issued a visa.

You guys should channel your protest to your govt to order resumption of intl flight or at least give a date.

Correct. It's nothing to do with Nigerians, it's everything to do with the system. The system itself is unable to uphold rule of law.

Law that isn't enforced is useless. Thinking humans will simply act according to your definition of "what is right" at the detriment of themselves is, at best, silly, and at worst, delusional. People go do wetin sweet them. That's human nature. It's up to the law to direct them.

Like you said, even abroad people break traffic and road laws. Some cities are worse than others in the US. What's the difference? Law enforcement.

Well said.

Even with all their law enforcement, the world still relies on them for accidented vehicles grin

Common sense is not common.Hence the reason why laws have to be made and enforced.

Read my comments on the thread again, slowly this time so you can comprehend.

I never implied that all Nigerians are road traffic offenders.

Why not, you can join the bandwagon of those who wish to relocate out of Nigeria because of the road traffic offenders. I wish you and them safe trips.

Read again my comments here and you will find that the solution to these seemingly increasing problem borders first on attitudinal change......

I cant comprehend cos you re speaking from both sides of your mouth now.

Not interested.Good luck to those who want to do do that.Is that hard to understand?

FRSC/VIO are doing these already, may not be on a full scale yet. But lemme ask,

Have you had to dodge FRSC/VIO when driving because you remembered that your Vehicle/Driver's license is expired?
.

P.S

We are not discussing politics here.

Pls speak for your self and stop generalizing and dragging other Nigerians into this mess.

Some of us do have respect for the rule of law.

Driving manners is the least of our worry and if anyone wants to relocate cos of that then so be it grin

nurey:


it is an Avalon ship 2011, check it first before you conclude ooo. That vehicle is loaded and doesn't have a basic trim also it's standard equipment are optional in the 08-12 Rx

Spot on analysis.

But it has a base model.

2011 Avalon comes in only two trims base and unlimited .The 1st one has no navigation trim,heating seats and JBL speakers though its also equipped with other standard equipment while the 2nd trim is loaded to the teeth.Though whichever he picks he is good to go.Might be even lucky to have some add on from the limited to the base model.

The Avalon is a more recent car and beats the Es hands down in terms of luxury.

Clean toks , won't ever do naija used angry

Ran vin ,98k miles original, complete details of service history

2019 Michelin tires

Super neat interior

From VIN check, it had a front collision, so bumper was replaced plus headlamps.

Fan now direct and no overheating for 3 days now

I am taking it back to the workshop so they return it to factory settings and then find what exactly the issue might be. I am guessing a weak thermostat or coolant temperature switch sensor. A device that's suppose to trigger the fan to roll and cool the engine is not doing its work properly.

After changing the radiator and radiator cap,It's until the temp almost reaches the red line on the dash gauge before the fan blows and the temp reduces back to the middle point, then same cycle again and again. When this happens, the coolant container overflows and is boiling.

Now that the fans are direct, temp is stabilized and no overheating


Next steps
1. Undo direct connection of fan
2. Change thermostat
3. Replace fan switch
4. Replace coolant temperature sensor

This should fix the issue once and for all.

What do you think?

No offence sir.

You fail to realise that some naija used re better than toks.

You clearly bought a faulty vehicle simple.


As you mentioned water rushing behind your dash,your gasket made up of two layers has separated and allowed water into your engine block.

If you like change everything and leave the gasket you re just buying time for the katakata that will eventually happen.

Heavenly bang you get time.

Mercedes clearly messed up by naming that line M class without taking into consideration BMW had the M line already.

If they factored the above, Merc would have stuck to the ML class and not trying to act funny by saying the ML was under the M class umbrella.

Severely abused car indeed.

Since the correction of the fuel pipe by my original mechanic, everything has been running well, till yesterday I discovered the oil leakage from engine cover area.and you were last to touch it.

If anyone has severely abused my car , it is you.

I am bitter because in this hard times , I have been spending money to replace or correct what you did wrong.

Now I will spend another 22k to more to buy Mobil 1 again.

If my car is severely abused, do you think I will be buying 22k Mobil 1 oil where there are cheap 4k oil everywhere.

I don't allow anyhow mechanic touch my car.

As a matter of fact I have been using only one mechanic since I bought this car 4 years back.

I only tried you because I was away outside the country and when I returned my mechanic was fully booked and so I searched here and saw you.

The problem with you is you outsource someone's car to numerous mechanics in your mechanic yard
.

And all of them will be doing different different things without coordination and hence errors everywhere.



Now you re talking.

Look for a firm that does auto financing and compare rates if you were to take a loan to buy the car or this hire purchase.

I would prefer you walk up to an auto financing firm and get a credit facility and purchase vehicles like what nurey suggested to avoid playing village people on the long run.

Hello, it's really bad to call her/his post "nonsense" on an advertised product with contact attached ! Let's stop making a mockery or caricature of ones post on their various products here ! You ought to have observed the price of that particular gen set might be a bit pricey or above your budget if interested .. let it slide if you ain't interested after contacting the seller as business transactions isn't really by force especially now dollar & vat rates ain't friendly okay ! Cheer's

Pls keep this bs to yourself.

This is a clearance thread and not a place to hide prices by telling people to call you.

If you want to sell pls sell.Stop preying on the innocence of others.

Afterall, its you so not suprised.
