Its a standard and btw not sprayed on the passengers but rather in the air. The purpose is to prevent mosquitoes or flies from being onboard when landing in the destination country. Even on a flight to Ghana, foreign airlines spray the cabin .....pls don't misunderstand the purpose but appreciate it. rentAcock: Inferiority complex is when the white man is allowed to fly into Nigeria with any food stuff but you cannot enter their country with common indomie, gala or egusi and these stupid airport workers actually enforce the ban as if their lives depend on it. After going through all this hassle, [b]one _idiot will still spray insecticide on passengers [/b]already boarded on the plane right before take off, at least Arik used to do that. This man has a point, we should be exporting Nigerian food and culture overseas and not being restricted because the white man is afraid. |

I wonder why people are like this ....they will end up being used by the politicians to cause mayhem in the country while the politicians own children are safely hidden abroad  DTaj: Dandsome, when you lie, next time, lie intelligently!
The person you stupidly tagged with “INEC” is Hajo Sanni, one of the SAs of the First Lady! This woman is NOT Amina Zakari.
Why don’t you guys use your porous brains? Did you think everyone on Nairaland or elsewhere are unthinking nincompoops who will just gulp up any fake news or fake picture you Atiku dunderheads spread
This won’t ever make Atiku win next month.
Buhari WILL win a 2nd term!

Careful with that Glo Shop at the Palms ....they are criminals.

I'm sure that is not a partner shop. I didn't bother much because my phone(RN5AI) and my modem do not support their 4G band. |

Happy New Year sis. Nice one ....I would suggest each tout have their own NL thread separate from this one on which they advertise their goods. Place the page URL in your signature and for every comment you make, interested buyers would always reference it. Better than pasting ads on the thread itself and it gets lost due to more pages being added during the day. Its disadvantageous pasting in this thread adverts fibonacci2526: Would it be bad if we have an ad free page?
The tweaking enthusiastics have Xiaomi phones already,was referring to guests who dont have Xiaomi phones and are pondering if to buy or not.
If no ad is the way to go, then it's very fine. |
Politics › Re: Minimum Wage: NLC Begins Indefinite Strike Jan. 8 by bigtt76(f): 4:19pm On Jan 02, 2019 |
Why not start today?  sophsia62: Following the inability of the Federal Government to urgently transmit the bill on the new national minimum wage to the National Assembly, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has set Jan. 8 as date for the commencement of an indefinite nationwide strike.
NLC President Comrade Ayuba Wabba said the strike would be inevitable if nothing happened before the set date.
He appealed to workers across the nation to support the action to succeed in the interest of their social and economic prosperity.
Wabba called on Federal Government to urgently transmit the bill on the new national minimum wage to the National Assembly for a speedy passage.
He said: “It is unfortunate that the Federal Government is yet to transmit to the National Assembly an executive bill for the enactment of N30,000 as the new national minimum wage.
“Government’s dilly-dallying on the issue has strained Government-Labour relations with a potential for a major national strike which could just be days away.
“I want to appeal to the government to do the needful by urgently transmitting the bill on the new national minimum wage to the National Assembly.
“We also would like to use this same opportunity to urge workers to fully mobilise for a prolonged national strike and enforce their right.”
Explaining the strike becomes inevitable the last option for labour, the NLC president called on all Nigerians and businesses to understand and support it.
He however assured workers that their labour, patience and diligence would not be in vain.
Wabba said the NLC leadership remains committed to giving all it takes to ensure workers get just and fair wages in a decent work environment appropriate to their well-being.
He added that the NLC leadership is similarly committed to social protection for workers.
“The new year presents great opportunities for workers, pensioners, civil society allies and their friends and families to put their numbers to good use.
“This is by voting out, not on the basis of tribe or religion but purely policy, any candidate that cannot serve their interest.
“In the year that is ahead of us, the NLC remains unequivocally committed to the national and workers’ goals which include the campaign for industrialisation, against selective enforcement of “No Work, No Pay” policy of government, among others,” he said.

Looks good to me but you need to show proof of close tie to your home country. You need to also provide your full itinerary (hotel and flight booking) to show you've made your accommodation arrangements and sites you looking forward to visiting. I would suggest your coverage of the trip's cost covers your wife too. So a letter to that effect would do. All the best lantres000: Thanks for your response. I actually felt i will not be needing an invitation since its a tourist visa. As for my source of Income am a full time salary earner with a monthly inflow of 500K.
But what if i leave it the way it is with the intention that i am sponsoring the full trip?
Your response will go a long way. Thanks |

Travel › Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigtt76(f): 3:44pm On Dec 31, 2018 |
The balance and breakdown looks good but this is just part of the requirements for a UK visa. Do you have a letter of invitation and what is or are your reason for the trip? Source of your income and strong ties to your home country? Beefing up your wife's bank account is not advisable for now since it would be seen as an attempt to hoodwink the ECO into believing your wife has enough funds. You can however do this if you are applying in 6-7 months time. Share answers to the questions and will help confirm. lantres000: Hello Justwise and poca4real
Am about to apply for a tourist Uk Visa on a 10 days Visit. I am presenting and account with a closing balance of 2,400,000 and i intend to spend 1,285,125Naira on the trip. Below is my expense break down.
Airline ticket 280,000 x 2 =560,000 (1,174GBP @ 477 Conversion rate) Hotel Accommodation for 10 Nights (400GBP) @40 GBP Per day Feeding for 10 Days @ 60 GBP Per day (600GBP) Cash at Hand (700GBP) Totalling 2,874(GBP)
My Question is do you think this break down is fair enough? and if not how much more do i step it up with.
Secondly i am sponsoring the trip wholly and i want to know if i would need to assign some money to my wife on the application because her salary is pretty low and i doubt if her closing balance will amount to anything.How much should i assign to my wife as her own travelling expenses.
I will so appreciate your response |

Have you addressed the underlying issues which lead them to believe you don't have sufficient funds? Can you outline here what you submitted so the gurus in the house can advise you appropriately? It's not evertime you appeal especially if your case is proven by the ECO madamgrace: I just got my travel document from the courier and it's visa rejection. The reasons was insufficient funding and they are unsure of my returning after the short trip. I consider this unfair and want to appeal.
Can I appeal via email to them? Please help |
