Kpeleeeee

I have been trying to renew my Nigerian passport for some days now and the NIS website Innovate is becoming herculean task - The space provided to sign in to the website ask you to put in your contact address- it says 255 characters or so - you type in less than 50 characters and it freezes up!!! You try to edit your phone number on the website profile, no chance !!!! You finally start application proper - it ask for contact address - the country will not scroll beyond Nigeria! And what do they mean by Permanent Nigerian address What of us that do not have address in Nigeria?

Brossss ....you suppose get address for Naija naa even if na your cousins, grandparents sef. The aim is just to remind you that adjo odabi ile (Foreign Land Nor Bi Like Home)

Why must anything Nigeria be difficult You are asked to pay an amount online, you get to the Embassy and find so many frivolous charges !!!

Na small small ...e go better!

They create so much hurdles for you just to fleece you off some dollars !!! Why must Nigerians be like this ? You claim an application is online and they demand for so many paper copies !!! Then we get to the credit cards, so many warnings and security checks, they make payment so difficult.

Even in the banks here, there must be paper trails. I'm sure in US too they still maintain paper trails for such transactions.

Most processes you do in the US are done online and they are seamless! Infact I was surprised I can open a bank account by just making a phone call, deposit cheques through your phone and so much more . Why must the Nigerian system make things so difficult ?? Your life is so perfect in the US except when it has something to do with Nigeria !!!! You get a fantastic job and for them to verify your certificates in Nigerian Universities it becomes impossible !!!!

US has Social Security Number system built over the years so takes care of their identification needs. In Nigeria, we have got plenty National Cards - National ID, National Driver's Licence, National Voter's Cards ....I'm sure National Health or Mental Card go soon show

Will it not be better to just forget renewing the Nigerian passport and just get a visa on your US passport ? Why must our lives be made difficult just because we want to be patriotic ? I rest my case !

Abeg try renew else applying for Nigerian Visa won't be any easy

Please are you new in Lagos?

Charism:
Am a young graduate who has finished service since 2013, don't have a job yet. As at wednesday last week, a pastor of my church who is aware of my plight reffered me to one Mr xx whose "office" is at suite C038, kaduna 1 plaza, trade fair lagos.

I was told that the man operates an agency that links people up to jobs and that there is a vacancy for a store keeper of my age and that I should met him on thursday. On thursday after meeting him, he asked me who linked me, I told him the pastors name, he also told me to pay #3000 for service charge, I was skeptical about it, but I did it. I was handed a letter and told to go to the company which located at number 1 glass road mafoluku, oshodi lagos. It was a nigerian breweries ware house. I was told to meet the HR guy who when I met him, requested for my C.V. And told me that he would get back to me. Since then, I have not heared from any of them.

But then am tempted to think that its a scam, because

1.The job linking stuff sounds too good to be true.

2. When I got to the ware house and asked for the HR guy, the workers said they didn't know any body like that and that I should refer to the next ware house. On my way to the next ware house the HR guy Intercepted me.

3. The 3k I was asked to pay.

But on the other hand am still tempted to believe its real because

1. I know the pastor very well. He lives in my neighbourhood and has a good reputation, when I expressed my concerns to him he vouched for the mr sammy and said he knows someone who got a job through the agency.

2. While asking for directions to the “job agency office" many people reffered to mr Bleep as the man that helps people with job.

Honestly I don't know what to think of it. Anyone that know anything about this job agency should please help me confirm the details.

RIP sad if true

Seem we've gotten for ourselves a new jester at the NASS after Patrick Obahiagbon and on Twitter a replacement for FFK + Abati

One BVN gotten from any bank works with all your banks

My thoughts here is what kind of deep sleep did she fall into that at the first sign of unholy heat or shocks did not wake her up? Or could it be that she died from generator fumes before the burnt occured? Knowing that theres been power failure of late.

Survived a near incident during my school days. Lit a candle and placed on a plastic container of sulphur ointment. Candle burnt through the plastic container and was consuming the ointment on the rug with me lying on a mattress there on the rug. I woke up just time and till date still give thanks to God for saving me.

I don't dispute the fact of the burnt but something could have woken her up except she died before the burnt occured. Not doubting these chinese products, they may have used high capacitive capacitors for holding charges instead of real batteries. That may have caused the death from powerful voltage shock

Thought of him only recently. His kind of music is unique and captivating. He will be missed. RIP One of the Great Musicians of Nigeria

He will get it. You stay more than 6 months at a time in a foreign country. Its usually from the date of departure. You migh5 be refused entry if remaining months on passport is very small

stobery:
He is applying in August which is less than the stipulated six months

It has not expired yet. You will only have issues if spending more than the remaining valid period overseas

stobery:
How is the passport valid?

Yes o! And they would be flying free pocketing their transport allowances Of what use is it paying those allowances when they are being housed, fed, transported and bribed

agarawu23:

New levels don enter Nigerian politics

We nor see light yet o

Where de parking space naaa? This na hold up again o!

Pack wan side jooooooor! For your information ...we do not hate GEJ ....we all fought to have in there and he dropped the ball. Corruption under him snow balled to an all time high in Nigeria. Even IBB confessed that they guy (GEJ) too much ....he had to go and we all ensured he left at the right time. We will salvage Nigeria and when its stable again, we might help bring him back as a Local Government Councillor .....for he needs to get the basic training in governance before heading to the pinnacle.

He was never a Commissioner, even as deputy governor, he never was in the mainstream politics before he became governor. During his tenor as governor, he wasn't even known amongst his mates. As President, it became worst ....shyness wan kill am at world fora where meeting the other world leaders is always cherished ....he would get himself drunk at all times to avoid the scene

You de come tell me about who hate GEJ and who nor hate am. I'm sure he always reeks of alcohol which led to many heads of government not inviting him over did you not see how many invitations PMB got even before being sworn in?

PPAngel:
Your hatred for Jonathan and the better south comprising of the SS and SE is why you are aligned to the same that Boko commander.

Your nemesis is on its way.

You will soon see first hand what christians in the NE went through under Boko Haram.

I see people still in self denial over the clueless one ....still believing he was the best thing that happened to Naija and his loss at the elections is the worst for Naija tuofiakwa!!! 10 times

Please name the teleco and stop protecting them while at the same time complaining about poor service

Go sidon wan side if you nor get naaatin to tok about! #Mtscheeeeeeeeew

I pray they visit Shoprite and Games stores to check on all those wines, juice, butchery products etc so as to ascertain their wholeness for human consumption. I had once seen a pack of locally packaged bacon with a dead fly inside at Shoprite (Palms) called the attention of the section manager, he just took it back into the butchery ....I guess to wash and repackage. He was so lackadaisical about it. I stopped buying their bacon. Wished I had a phone camera with me that day

I hope these expired wine don't end up being part of those kept for 'tasting' at the Shoprite o

Hmm
