Please, what are the documents required for renewal ?

Two passport photographs, expired passport booklet and about 65k.

Even before I opened the thread, I already knew it was going to be them!

Everyone is facing economic challenges in Nigeria, but these ones think they can use ritual killings to survive

The same people that believe human beings could turned to yams

Ritual capital of the world!!!

Ovamboland:
Another round of mass starvation loading. You are even far less prepared than 1967.

No need for Calabar or Bonny amphibious landing by 3CMD, all that needs to be done is blockade the 5 SE states and let them fight each other till they call for surrender

Lol, you're not smart at all. Starvation, blockade or carpet bombing that was used against Biafra was possible because there was a central government engaged in a territorial war against the federal government.

Now, such scenario can't happen again. There is no central authority in Igboland with a standing army and territory to protect! What you will experience is a guerilla warfare targeting Nigerian government interests and if you think that committing genocide will work, then it shows how ignorant you are because once Igbo elite aligns with the Igbo masses, they will achieve a critical mass needed to get global attention. The world will never want Nigeria to go into full blown war knowing the challenges it will bring, so they will prefer a peaceful resolution.

During the peak of IPOB confrontations with the police and army, you saw how the police stations at some point began to put up Biafra flag because they were afraid! Checkpoints disappeared on our highways!

IPOB was able to get to that extent even without Igbo elite support, then imagine what it will be like should they enjoy mass support!

And believe me, there ain't much the federal government will do, because you can't send jets to bomb cities when the guerilla fighters are in the bush. Add the fact that Nigeria is now a fragile state, with Boko Haram and all manner of terrorists fast enveloping the North.

You claim that Igbos are less prepared than in 1967 but forgot that Nigeria was cohesive and prosperous back then with very little or challenges at all. Unlike now that virtually everyone is fed up!

Stop threatening war because you're not even in the position to guarantee its outcome!!

Gbagura:
SE shouldn't expect presidency be given without sweating for it. If there's any ibo man that can boast of getting supports across the country, let him prove himself. You wouldn't have burnt all available bridges and later ask arrogantly to be given president.

We have only 2 tribes deciding for Nigeria which are Yoruba and Haúsá/fulani. Others are just mere spectators. They are known as Èrò iworan

Lol, funny yoruba man. Stop flattering yourself dude, yoruba has never decided for Nigeria, rather it's the Fulani. Can you tell me one instance where yoruba decided for Nigeria?

With all the yoruba support, Awolowo struggled till his death to rule Nigeria but the true deciders i.e. Fulanis refused!

Abiola struggled to rule Nigeria with all yorubas behind him but Fulanis vehemently refused and he died in prison while still trying!

You yorubas wanted Olu Falae in 1999 and gave him 100% support but the true deciders refused and wanted Obasanjo and OBJ ruled!

Throughout history, it has always been like that until 2011 when tinubu betrayed the South yet the same North came out openly to say that tinubu or yoruba support was insignificant in making Buhari president!

Acting as snitches and grovelling before others doesn't make you a decide please!

You guys are so funny indeed, always beating empty dry chest like a mountain gorrila

Just imagine the coward herdsmen terrorists, they go about robbing, kidnapping and killing innocent defenseless citizens but once they face armed militia like them, they run away.

God bless the vigilante group in Arondizuogu!!

Okay.
Finally my comment made it to the first page.
One day I shall be the first to comment

Lol, and after 5 hours and despite being moved to front page, I still met you in the same first page

Meanwhile, Nigeria is scam. After I read a report about how state governors are allowed to spend billions of naira personally allocated to them monthly in the name of security votes, I just gave up. It means that these rogues can spend billions of naira or even pocket it and no one will know talk more of asking questions!

In a country where wages are agonisingly low, infrastructure in deplorable state, the populace starving etc, why can't states be managed like corporations with activities and projects vetted by independent auditors that would be appointed by external bodies?

Borno state is largely ungovernable at the moment, with terrorists controlling large swats which means that government can't access those places. Yet they are budgeting these amounts. If this man decides to pocket half of the money, who will question him?

Is this how governance is run in sane countries?

If banks can have hundreds of branches nationwide yet each branch is monitored effectively without branch managers stealing money, why can't governance be made open like that so it can be monitored too?

Nigeria is indeed a sh1thole not because of lack of money but due to criminal minded rulers and a bastardized system!

Skybridge33:
A friend of mine called me last week, she resigned from a high paying job working for a Telecom company in Nigeria to move to America with her two kids. Before she left she was doing okay, her salary was over a million, her kids went to the best schools in Lagos and she bought a plot of land in lekki. She sha want to leave Nigeria and japa even though she was in her mid forties and can't hustle like before. She got a tourist visa and left with her kids.
Now she's complaining even after advising her not to leave as she was average rich here before she left . Now she lives in a one bedroom apartment in a ghetto area of Houston. She works 20 hrs a day doing two jobs and she still doesn't make enough money to pay her rent, the landlord will chase her out anytime. Now she's complaining that things are hard and she wants to come back to Nigeria. What should I tell her, everybody wants to japa thinking life is better there. Eventually when they get there, instant regret it's cold, the people are unfriendly and even the blacks there are racist to Africans.

Then she must be very daft!
How can one abandon a job paying her a million naira monthly to travel to America as an illegal migrant?

With that salary, she would be able to live in a nice duplex, drive two SUV's, have servants and be able to travel to America and other countries on holidays!

Hello everyone

since @whyna have refused to be updating us, let me keep the thread updated till whenever she makes out a little time out of her busy schedule to give us some update but as far as God dey and me I dey too, this thread no go die.

My gist....this TEFL course of a thing no be moi moi o, I have been battling it and for a reason I don't even know I choose a 250hour course, I just submitted my lesson plan assignment, I don dey gas out already self and I never even enter Vietnam to face the real music.

Wow, I just saw your post now. How is the process?

What do you mean by choosing a 250 hour course, I thought it's meant to last one month max?

Is the country now allowing visitors? I want to do TEFL course there ASAP.

Hahaha, I smell envy
Ndi "giant of Africa" crew are humbled

Brazil is giant of South America and they have great cities and infrastructure to show for it!

China is giant of Asia and they have great cities and infrastructure to show for it!

We kept yelling giant of Africa because of 200 million starving population with dilapidated infrastructure. Even third world African countries are now leaving Nigeria behind too

Welcome development!

rofemhell:
But Aba is bigger than Makoko

While Ibadan is the biggest of them all.
80% of those living in that slum are Yorubas, the remainder are Ijaws!

RobbStark:
Na dream you dey dream abi na wetin.
You well like this so.
Opobo n Bonny host what exactly.
No sea route for you guys

[b]Come Opobo n claim it not ranting n foaming in the mouth.
You Miscreants will be here telling millions of people who they are. Aren't there ibos from bonny in this forum.
Oh I forgot, there is no Ibo indigene from. Hahahaha

Ignorance has finished this one. Now let me educate you, of all the Igbo clans in the SS, Opobo is the only one that observe annual reunion with Igbos of SE. They do this in two ways; by celebrating the Nwaotam cultural festival in Aba and by royal fathers visit! Ask anyone who is living in Aba and they will inform you that the two most popular and flamboyant Igbo cultural festivals celebrated in the city are the Abriba cultural parade and Nwaotam masquerade festival.

Now, ask yourself the following questions;

1. If the Opobo people doesn't consider themselves Igbos, why would they be bringing their most prestigious cultural event to Aba?

2. If the ijaws truly believe that Opobo people are their brothers, then why did Isaac boro use the cover of Nigerian army to commit crimes against the good people of Opobo during the civil war?

I just dey laugh una because too much of ogogoro has really messed you guys up

Na wa o, no one wants to say anything, even agents too

DubaiLandLord1:
All this una long trash won't change anything.

Just like Tiv land, igbo land is landlock.

You wish, Igboland has never been landlocked and will never be.

I understand why you all are desperately hoping that Igboland will be landlocked so we can use your ports, but that will never happen. God is so gracious and merciful

DubaiLandLord1:
Please carry your useless and foolish explanation comot my front.

I'm allergic to illiterate and dum.b people like you, I only exposed your ignorance so that gullible people won't fall for your ignorance.

DubaiLandLord1:
When the igbos ate ready for biafla

Referendum will be conducted for them in the Old East Central State alone.

Dunce, the earliest recorded history of Igboland is what will be used and not Aboki military creations of yesterday.

All recorded data dating back to early 1600's, 1700's and after by both the Portuguese and English explorers all recorded that Igbo clans, particularly the Ndoki established Opobo, Bonny and Azumini areas! Till date, all these areas still speak Igbo language and practice Igbo culture!

Even the first Igbo language Bible was written in Bonny Igbo dialect!

That we lost a civil war doesn't mean our native lands will be taken away from us! Germany lost the WW11 and was divided into two with communists ruling the East Germany but at the end of the day, the Iron Curtain fell and they were reunified!

Pray that Nigeria doesn't break up because the day it breaks up is the day Bonny and Opobo will be reunified fully with the rest of Igbo country. We have the exhibits and all facts on our side to win in any court of arbitration and if any fool thinks they can stand on our way, we push them all into the Atlantic ocean.

Bonny, Opobo and Azumini will host three of our ports and we will ensure they become prosperous cities.

DubaiLandLord1:
Igbo land never extended to the coastal areas in present day Rivers State and there is no evidence any igbo kingdom went to war and defeated any coastal area before and after the arrival of the white man

You don't have sense, worse still you're also an illiterate who can't interpret map. Now take a look at the map again check those blocks that weren't labeled then ask yourself why they said IGBO STATES!!

Traveling abroad now seems to be at the top of to-do list of many Nigerians, and from the look of things, it is going to spike next year and beyond considering the gloomy situation of Nigeria's economy.

This now brings to question, is it necessary to use the services of travel agents?

Does agents improve the chances of one getting getting visa against DIY?

When I'm talking about traveling abroad, I don't necessarily mean migration on a permanent basis but also traveling for tourism or temporary work that requires maybe weeks or up to 6 months to one year and return. To countries such as US, Canada, UK or others in Asia and Europe.

Why I'm curious is because I have heard some school of thought saying:

"why would you use agents when you can DIY?"

"Agents are not reliable, they would even scam you!" Etc.

For Nigerians that traveled abroad successfully, did you make use of agents or you did the process yourself?

Asking for myself and hundreds of thousands of other Nigerians

seunolu7:
Some ignoramus said Lagos was built by all Nigerians. Even if we ignore this blatant lie (PDP though OBJ dealt with lagos. Lagos today was nothing before 1999), what about ibadan and Oyo generally? Today, oyo has a bigger igr and definitely gdp than all south east states combined. Who developed Oyo?

Village man, is this one development?
Of course rusted roofs and dilapidated buildings is the hallmark of afonja settlements including ibadan

Good points, but meanwhile, they were never lost!

Forget about the noise by teeth filing cannibals who constitute nuisance trying to grab other people's lands.

[s]He is an exceptional manager of resources and a seasoned administrator, writes Tosin Adeyanju

“We have discovered a man who is ready to sacrifice all he has for his fatherland…the least sacrifice we can make is to let the whole country see the Leadership we have seen, feel the compassion we have felt; and move the maker of modern Lagos (Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu) to the moulder of a greater Nigeria”- Hon James Faleke

Date was Saturday, October 23, 2021.


Setting was at the TSG Secretariat on highbrow Kainji Crescent, Maitama. The atmosphere was electrifying with enthusiastic APC Chieftains and members, TSG faithful in celebration mood. All gladly donning an all-white attire with the famous “Asiwaju Logo” inscribed on them.

The highpoint of the day was when speaker upon speaker mounted the podium to list reasons why Tinubu remains the best Presidential Candidate for APC at the moment.

For Senate Deputy Whip, Senator Sabi Abdullahi from Niger Sate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Jagaban Borgu remains the best option for the rich and the poor in Nigeria.

“The man who is up and the man who is down are all affected by what is happening in the country. Jagaban will make a difference.”

In his words, Member, House of Representatives from Borno State, Hon Mohammed Zana describes Jagaban as a nation builder whose contributions to nation building have benefited most Nigerians.

“Jagaban is a nation builder. So, we are going to win this election by God’s grace in 2023”, he declared. For the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Hamisu Chidari who also graced the occasion, Kano State which has the highest number of voters and delegates in the country would repay Tinubu act of helping President Muhammadu Buhari to become President in 2015.

According to him, “My Purpose is to kick-start the journey that will take us to the villa by God’s grace with Asiwaju Tinubu as the number one Citizen of Nigeria. “ He added that “In Kano, being the state with the highest number of delegates, we have already decided and already concluded; we are set to give him at least 98 Percent of delegates in the primaries. Not only that, we are set as usual to give him the highest number of votes so that come May 29, 2023, we will be at the Eagle Square to swear him in as the President”.

The Kano Speaker buttressed the popular slogan of TSG”SAKKAYA,” meaning “Payback” by declaring that “all of us in the North-West are aware of the role he (Asiwaju) played in taking our son, President Buhari, to the villa. So, we are going to reward him; we are going to pay him back. So, I have assured him of victory. Almost all the delegates from the North-West States are going to vote for him in the Primary elections.” He capped his assertions thus: “We don’t know a better candidate than Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.”



Speaking during the programme, a Member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and Chairman, House Committee on Finance, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke poignantly declared that Asiwaju Tinubu deserves offer of first refusal from the APC for the 2023 Presidential election. In his speech titled “Run, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu,” Faleke said; “it is not often that history nurtures a particular person to fit into the need of a particular time; Our Party is therefore lucky that it does not need to go on a wild goose chase for the man to fly our Party’s flag in these challenging times; a time when the Presidency of Nigeria must go to the person who can continue to end banditry, to crush kidnappers and engage separatists so that our people can live in peace and prosperity. This is a man who will use his financial wizardry to further the gains of economic transformation.”

Faleke went further to state that “To secure the votes of majority in 2023, we must present a candidate who knows where the shoe pinches the average Nigerian, not just because he has been there, but because, as the governor of the most difficult, most complex state in Nigeria, he put smiles on the faces of the poor by convincing the rich to join the government to chase poverty from the streets…That man is Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is already our National Leader. (And) by the practice and standards in other climes, when the issue of raising a Presidential candidate is on the burner, such a personality should be given the right of first refusal.”

Further pushing for the suitability of Asiwaju for the highest office in the land, Faleke said: “People have wondered why I am on the frontiers for the campaign to draft Asiwaju Tinubu for Presidency. For me and many other men and women he raised, the least sacrifice we can make is to let the whole country see the Leadership we have seen, feel the compassion we have felt; and move the maker of modern Lagos to the moulder of a greater Nigeria.”

In his address, the Director –General of TSG, Arc Umar Ibrahim Mohammed said: “In our search for credible Ieadership to consolidate and improve on the enormous gains of the Buhari administration in the next dispensation, we have painstakingly and consciously undertaken to observe, study and critically analysed the challenges confronting the nation as well as our immense resources, potential and strength. We have also reflected deeply on the outstanding Leadership qualities, personal attributes and antecedents of Asiwaju Tinubu as a man with the attributes of hard work, extensive vision, rich experience and striking intelligence, networks of vital contacts, sense of equity, justice and fairness with high regard for the rule of law.”

“Tinubu is a bridge builder across regional, ethnic and religious lines that is capable of uniting the country. We have identified him as an exceptional manager of resources and a seasoned administrator and we are convinced that the nation needs him in the next dispensation.

“We have no doubt that he has the capacity and the political will to institute a new concept of governance and new agenda of sustainable development, to provide effective leadership, capable of providing solutions to the numerous challenges confronting the nation.”

Indeed, the nation’s political atmosphere has been agog lately with supporters of Tinubu leading the pack with the huge numbers of support group they parade engaging in unrelenting advocacy on the need for the National Leader of the APC to throw his hat in the Presidential ring and for all Nigerians to support him.

Trash!!
Tinubu is at best a deadwood, in sane climes, people like him would either be in jail or old people's home.

No normal person except those motivated with brown envelopes or their percieved personal gains would advocate for Tinubu.

Adaka Boro even hid behind the Nigerian army to unleash mayhem on the good people of Opobo during the civil war, before Adekunle eventually killed him like the rat he is!

So after killing Opobo people because they're Igbos, they still wake up today and claiming they're ijaw and must learn ijaw language by force?!

I only blame Opobo people for allowing such insult in the first place.

More random screenshots from different Opobo cultural groups!

I really pity all the small Niger Delta tribes because if these bunch of nuisances could have the guts to try their landgrabbing on the proud Igbo clans, despite all clear evidences of their Igboness then imagine would be going on with the minority tribes!

Damn it, they are dragging Gelegele with Bini people, dragging Warri with Itshekiri people, dragging Ibeno with Ibibio people, claiming the Abuas, Engennis etc as Ijaw people!!

Don't worry, you guys have finally touched the Lions tail, so expect the consequences!!!

I swear these lazy ogogoro drinkers are nothing but a bunch of landgrabbing theives!

Due to their noise here, I had to do a quick search on Facebook about Opobo indigenes and I discoy that everything about them is Igbo and they also overwhelmingly believe their heritage is Igbo too!

Since they're not Igbos according to these bastards, why do they bring the nwaotam masquerade (Opobo most celebrated cultural festival) to Aba and not Yenegoa or Brass? This nwaotam is the second most popular street carnival in Aba after the Abriba cultural celebration!

So why all these lies by these ogogoro drinkers?!

Please check few random screenshots below for emphasis!!

I almost had migraine trying to understand the rubbish they wrote there. The half baked journalist wrote fantasies that are far from reality on ground.

Even Tinubu already knows he can't possibly become president in 2023, Osinbajo too knows that only a total support by cabals can make him president.

Junk journalism!!

mrvitalis:
Nah I'm igbo but let yorubas take Lagos and let middle belt take Abuja ...it's their luck

Would they share the over 160 trillion cubic of gas in Igbo land ? ... would north share sea access ?

Yes igbos would lose out but we move ...give them head start so that the over taking go sweet

You're not being realistic, stop fantasizing!
Yorubas can only have Lagos if Nigeria breaks up, same applies to North/Middle belt with Abuja!

Go and check your history, Lagos even used to be an independent region separate from Western region!

The oil and gas in Igboland and SS will never be enjoyed 100% by the owners except Nigeria breaks up completely. Even in the first republic, the regions were paying certain percentage to the central government from resources in their domain.

Never support something that will put you in serious disadvantage!

mrvitalis:
The only solution to Nigeria is forming a federal system where regions control security and resources

But the map of the regions 6 has to be redrawn completely with ethnic boundaries not this political map we have today

Then for the sake of fairness and equity, Lagos and Abuja would have to be independent of any region. You can't use resources from other places to develop them only to hand them over to a particular region, that would be injustice and should never happen!!

It is not going to split again, ndi Yoruba self. For the sake of Lagos, Nigeria will not break again

Meanwhile, I heard from exclusive source that Fulanis have been begging Igbos to stop Biafra agitation and they promised Igbos presidency in 2023 and that herdsmen will also avoid SE.

These Fulanis are smart I must say, they've realized that only Igbos truly have what it takes to actually break Nigeria, that's why they're now trying to make peace with them. If they succeed, then forget it, this country will never break again

Dr Babayo Sule , the internationally renowned economist wrote :

"I suggest that it is a high time to consider an act or any other alternative that will allow for a referendum to allow the IPOB to determine where they want to be.

One just example of the benefits that The North or remaining Nigeria can derive is at least, not less than N200,000 annually as a revenue for the government alone of any Igbo that decides to stay in the North as a foreigner. N100,000 as an annual visa fee and another N100,000 as annual insurance for their protective stay. Guess how much we can make from our neighbouring foreigners!"

Delusions of grandeur!
A region that if it were to be a country will definitely be the world's worst in terms of poverty, Illiteracy, diseases etc. is here talking about imposing visa?

Someone should tell this almajiri that without Igbos, they would face crises trying to fill the vacuum. Without oil and gas money flowing to the North, would they be any better than Chad or Niger rep, so can these wretched countries impose such fees?
