You will need a transit visa if you fly through Dublin as Ireland not part of the UK. You are best flying into Edinburgh (So, Lagos-Istanbul-Edinburgh), there are direct Turkish airline flights from Istanbul to Edinburgh and you can travel to whatever Scottish city(Glasgow, Aberdeen etc) you are heading to by train/coach from Edinburgh. You can get the tram straight from Edinburgh airport to city center where you can take a train from Edinburgh Waverley station or bus from the bus station. You will need to book all these in advance, else might be a bit expensive.

Generally, Rodo is quite expensive here, we tend to buy a box of it(rather than just picking up some for weighing which can work out quite expensive). The box( we normally ask for at Kashmir), if I remember well cost about 20quid and defo more than custard paint. You can call Kashmir and ask how much the box of rodo is before buying more at Alfa? See if that works out cheaper.

I went to this store and got a shock of my life. Red pepper(Rodo) £16, something that can not fill custard paint. Haa mogbe.... Is that how we used to do �� . Maybe the guy made mistake in our bill sha. Hubby is planning to go there and buy the same quantity to see the price again.

Just to give update. Thank you

You can get palm oil and other African stuff from Kashmir store on Eglinton Road G5 9RU (you can get directions their from Google map) walking distance from some parts of city centre. They have 10kg bags of rice as well, they have long grain one( Tollyboy Rice is closest to Naija one).
For bigger bag rice and wholesale products generally there's Alfa Wholesale on Lancefield street G3 8HZ
Also another African shop called Larrytino on maryhill road G20 9AX ( they stock all Naija food stuff, owned by a Nigerian), the others are Asian owned.
Hope this helps.

We have surplus doctors and equipment....no need to worry...our Labour minister says so

Yep, everything tied to deliverance and God. I think we have enough of that already and people still steal. Church on Sunday, Mosque on Friday and back to work on Monday to continue stealing................. and the cycle continues.

Unfortunately, we are continuing along the same path of zoning positions rather than selecting people on merit.

Wow...Am I the only one that thinks giving this long list of entitlement to all past presidents and vice presidents ( no doubt other subordinates will have something similar as well) is just excessive and a great financial drain on the country? Why should the government be funding the entire life of a former president or vice president just because they managed to 'serve' the country for 4 years? And it's is disheartening that everybody is bugged down with ethnic and tribal sentiment instead of the extremely expensive remuneration even after leaving office these politicians are enshrining in the constitution for themselves and there family while vast majority of the country are struggling. I think this remuneration is far too much.

pls guys note that if you are applying for settlement visa ur sponsore should be receiving £22400 not £18600 this is the new review done by the home office. people within EU is still £18600 and people outside EU is now £22400.

Can you please include link of where you got this info cos I dont think there has been any change in the financial requirement level. The 22400 is for spouse with a non-EU child. For a spouse without a child, i believe the financial requirement level still remains 18600.

Hello guys and ladies,

I have a quick question....I had the impression that name change due to Marriage can only be done at Immigration office in Abuja.....is this still the case or can name change due to marriage on Nigerian E-Passport be done at the Nigerian High Commission in London?

Thanks for your anticipated help.

Pretty Unfortunate that the SE have put all there eggs in one basket with no APC senator because that means they can't even get the House of Assembly Speaker position.

Still too close to call.....fingers and toes crossed

Enugu Cancelled out already.......waiting for Lagos, Kano, Kaduna and Borno.

Tension.......Naija Decides.

It's with great shame I read this in a British paper. I know people are probably going to jump on the bandwagon of 'Brits like reporting negative news about African countries', but surely these are factual reports that are glaring and everybody see it day in day out. I guess Lagbaja don talk am finish, the country is Mumuland.

Nigeria is not quite the most corrupt country on earth. But according to Transparency International, which monitors international financial corruption, it is not far off — coming a shameful 172nd worst among the 215 nations surveyed.
Only countries as dysfunctional, derelict and downright dangerous as Haiti or the Congo are more corrupt.
In theory, Nigeria’s 170 million-strong population should be prospering in a country that in recent years has launched four satellites into space and now has a burgeoning space programme.
Frankly, we might as well flush our cash away or burn it for all the good it's doing for ordinary Nigerians

Moreover, Nigeria is sitting on crude oil reserves estimated at 35 billion barrels (enough to fuel the entire world for more than a year), not to mention 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
It also manages to pay its legislators the highest salaries in the world, with a basic wage of £122,000, nearly double what British MPs earn and many hundreds of times that of the country’s ordinary citizens.
The oil industry is highly corrupt, with 136 million barrels of crude oil worth $11¿billion (£7.79 billion) were illegally siphoned off in just two years from 2009 to 2011

No wonder the ruling elite can afford luxury homes in London or Paris, and top-end cars that, across West Africa, have led to the sobriquet ‘Wabenzi’, or people of the Mercedes-Benz.
Yet 70 per cent of Nigerians live below the poverty line of £1.29 a day, struggling with a failing infrastructure and chronic fuel shortages because of a lack of petrol refining capacity, even though their country produces more crude oil than Texas.
And that poverty is not for want of assistance from the wider world.

Since gaining its independence in 1960, Nigeria has received $400 billion (£257 billion) in aid — six times what the U.S. pumped into reconstructing the whole of Western Europe after World War II.
Nigeria suffers from what economists call the ‘resource curse’ — the paradox that developing countries with an abundance of natural reserves tend to enjoy worse economic growth than countries without minerals and fuels.
The huge flow of oil wealth means the government does not rely on taxpayers for its income, so does not have to answer to the people — a situation that fosters rampant corruption and economic sclerosis because there is no investment in infrastructure as the country’s leaders cream off its wealth.
Nigerian police can be easily bribed to look the other way in a country where corruption in Nigeria is endemic
Nigerian police can often be easily bribed to look the other way in a country where corruption in Nigeria is endemic
Corruption in Nigeria is endemic — from parents bribing teachers to get hold of exam papers for their children through clerks handed ‘dash’ money to get round the country’s stifling bureaucracy to policemen taking money for turning a blind eye.
It is at its most blatant, perhaps, in the oil industry, where 136 million barrels of crude oil worth $11 billion (£7.79 billion) were illegally siphoned off in just two years from 2009 to 2011, while hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies were given to fuel merchants to deliver petrol that never materialised.
Whether the country is ruled by civilians or soldiers, who invariably proclaim their burning desire to eradicate civilian corruption, it makes absolutely no difference.

The military ruled Nigeria between 1966 and 1979 and from 1983 to 1999, but if anything, corruption was worse when they were in charge since they had a habit of killing anyone threatening to expose them.
It is estimated that since 1960, about $380 billion (£245 billion) of government money has been stolen — almost the total sum Nigeria has received in foreign aid.
And that even when successive governments attempt to recover the stolen money, much of this is looted again.
President Sani Abacha, a military dictator who ruled in the Nineties, had accrued a staggering $4¿billion (£2.58¿billion) fortune by the time he died

In essence, 80 per cent of the country’s substantial oil revenues go to the government, which disburses cash to individual governors and hundreds of their cronies, so effectively these huge sums remain in the hands of a mere 1 per cent of the Nigerian population.

Political power is universally regarded as a chance to reap the fortunes of office by the ruling elite and its families and tribes.
The most egregious example was President Sani Abacha, a military dictator who ruled in the Nineties and accrued a staggering $4 billion (£2.58 billion) fortune by the time he died of a heart attack while in bed with two Indian prostitutes at his palace in the nation’s capital, Abuja, in 1998. Abacha’s business associates did nicely, too — one of them deposited £122 million in a Jersey offshore account after selling Nigerian army trucks for five times their worth.
Public office is so lucrative that people will kill to get it. Nigeria has 36 state governors, 31 of whom are under federal investigation for corruption.
In one of the smallest states, a candidate for the governorship occupied by one Ayo Fayose received texts signed by the ‘Fayose M Squad’ — and it was clear the ‘M’ was for ‘Murder’ when they stabbed and bludgeoned a third candidate to death in his own bed.
By the end of its term of office, the British Government will have handed over £1 billion in aid to Nigeria.
Given the appalling levels of corruption in that nation, this largesse is utterly sickening — for the money will only be recycled into bank accounts in the Channel Islands or Switzerland.
Frankly, we might as well flush our cash away or burn it for all the good it’s doing for ordinary Nigerians.
