This your heading is quite misleading. It makes people think that Nigerians are been maltreated or subjected to unlawful punishments while on the contrary they are not. This is how Airports should work. It shows Benin republic has standard and laws that are followed to the latest.

My funny experience at Cotonou International Airport
It is no more news that for some months, Nigerians can not travel to Dubai directly from Nigeria. This because of the issues between Emirate Airline, the Nigerian and the UAE government.

In the last few months, travelling to Dubai from Nigeria which used to be very easy has all of a sudden become a nightmare. To go on this trip, you will have to go through other countries and one of the easiest being Ghana and the Republic of Benin. This is because the two countries are our closest neighbours.

I have read several stories about different issues people have had in the Republic of Benin and Ghana. One of the popular stories was shared by Derende here https://www.nairaland.com/6544747/30-days-sojourn-through-cotonou
Sometimes this month, A client contacted me to help him process a three months Dubai visa and also to plan his itinerary to Dubai via Benin republic. I processed the Dubai visa, booked the flight, then we headed straight to the Republic of Benin. I think he just got a sweet offer in Dubai.

To cut a long story short, on his travel date, we got to Cotonou Cadjehoun Airport. The Benin Airport is less rowdy, less congested and looking well maintained. That was when I got the shocks of my life. Firstly, the majority of the people going to Dubai from the Cotonou Cadjehoun Airport were Nigerians.

As we were driving into the car park, I realize most of the people doing bureau de change are Nigerians. We changed some money and headed straight to the departure. I met lots of Nigerians at the waiting area. You will almost think it is another branch of Murtala Muhammed International airport located in Lagos. Then the worst happened, as we were heading in, we saw 4 Nigerians coming out, at first I thought they were coming back. Only to get to the queue and we were told they were denied boarding. I got more curious, on further investigation, I later got to know that they backdated the date they got in, not knowing that The republic of Benin had changed their stamp. Unfortunate for them, they backdated with the new stamp.

I also saw another Nigerian who was arrested at the airport because he was trying to board with a fake visa. I can not believe someone would try to do that. I think the person he paid gave him a fake visa. He got locked up for some days. This is really painful.
Then the last set of Nigerians that were rejected either have damaged passports or International passport with a picture that is not clear. The last sets of Nigerians that got denied were people who got late to the checking point.
Here are the major reasons why you could get denied boarding at the Cotonou Airport.

Reasons for the rejection
1. Damaged passport: Any passport with stains, a picture that is not clear, damaged on any part of the data page is automatic rejection.

2. Fake visa: Please always try to confirm the validity of your passport. There was a passport that I saw which the user had mark on its left eye, she was rejected. Some one claim they are rejecting it on purpose just to frustrate Nigerians. LOL

3. Fake stamp: Please ensure you always stamp at the border, do not pay touts to stamp for you.

4. Backdated stamp: YOu are supposed to spend two weeks minimum at the Cotonou Airport before you are allowed to travel.

5. Expired covid 19 test: Please ensure you do your Covid 19 test on time so you can get the result on time.


Things to note when visiting Dubai through the Republic of Benin
1. you must spend a minimum of 2 weeks in the Republic of Benin
2. To be on the safe side, Make sure you stamp in Seme border rather than Idiroko border, I heard so many people are having issues at Idiroko when they arrive in Dubai.
3. Confirm your Visa validity online.
4. Get to the airport at least three hours before your flight
5. Do a VIP covid 19 test. You will get your result the same day.
6. If you can get an agent that is familiar with the route to help you out. It will save you lots of money in the long run.
7. Please get familiar with their currency , read more here about their currency here https://www.nairaland.com/6553232/comparing-nigerian-naira-benin-republic


Please ensure you follow all Covid 19 protocols, please try to do the right thing because once you are caught they will ensure you face the law. Have you had a similar experience? Please share below.

“If you don’t accommodate other tribes, there will be challenges because we also accommodate other tribes in Bauchi and other places. We have many Tiv people farming in Alkaleri, Tafawa Balewa, and Bogoro in Bauchi State. Has anybody told them to go? No, because they have inalienable rights to be here.

All these tribes live in peace with their host communities!!! If they behave like fulanis by killing same people hosting them You will definitely ask them to go!!!! Fulanis must learn to respect people and conduct their business amicably. Back in the 70s,80s and early 90s these fulani were among the peaceful in Nigeria but they have resorted too crime now.

Seven Policemen, Three Soldiers Killed As Boko Haram Terrorists Attack Borno Governor, Zulum’s Convoyhttp://saharareporters.com/2020/09/25/seven-policemen-three-soldiers-killed-boko-haram-terrorists-attack-borno-governor-zulum

Whoever wrote this Article need psychological Attention!

As bad as Buhari... As clueless as Buhari!

He is 1000 times better than Jonathan.

Deep down we all know that.

Some people hate buhari right from time because of religious and ethnic Reasons.

No one should believe this Article! The columnist that wrote this is probably high on Weed!

When Jonathan was rulling this country...

There was no state in the north that had not been bombed!

Here in kano bombing here and there...

Kaduna bombing here and there!

Same thing in Gombe, yobe, bauchi, Jigawa, Adamawa and other northern states.

During his regime no safe zone in the north.

Now Bokoharam has been religated to Borno villages!

Yes we have bandits in kastina and zamfara villages which buhari has failed to crush!

But belive me buhari is 1000 times better than Jonathan

As for 2023 we don't know yet! And it's probably not north!

We will never forget...

The kind of people babangida gave Oil wells

Imagine giving your wife's fashion designer / Caterer and your rumoured side chick NigerDelta Oil

Funniest part, Pastor Mrs Alakiji if given a free empty land in the NigerDelta creeks without oil prospect for her to build a house and relocate her family , she won't agree

You Know nothing about Gen. Zamina Lekwot. You ignorance about Zango Kataf is monumentally displayed in your writeup. Lekwot is a respectable Nigerian General who was wrongfully accused by a desperate IBB junta to satisfy the clamour of few Kaduna mafians. However, people from Southern Kaduna and well meaning Nigerians, protested against all odds. Defy government warns and made the grievances known. The truth about the conspiracy to kill an innocent man was glaringly visible. This in large measure forced IBB and his ill advised panel of inquiry to absolve him of any wrong doing. stating the Lekwot has 'histroy of violence' is quite pathetic especially when is it uttered by sharp ignoramus. for the umpteenth time, He was and still is a respected retired General.

RichBoy247:


Idiots will never be sensible. General Lekwot has a history of violence and arms running. He was sentenced to death for his last escapes but, God just gave him another chance. Unfortunately, it seems he is still unrepentant.

NavalBoy:
Please, Doctors and Medical Practitioners, what may be caused of this?

Antifungal creams are not working. After applying, the itching stops, it resurfaces within a short period of time with possible expansion and growth.


Itching.
Pimples around his body.

What may be the cause?


Your relative input is highly needed.

Go to hospital . Preferably when you get to hospital ask for a dermatologist...No one here can accurately give you a solution here online. You need to carry out some test. It's not too bad

Based on the ruling , All APC vote cast are invalid, void and non existent ab initio. For governoship, It suffice to say that the total valid votes is now 810,782-534,541= 276, 241.

Therefore, the winner must meet the following;

1. The majority votes.
2. The contest having scored upto 25% in 2/3 no of local govts .

This could be verified by subtracting the void votes of the APC from each of the local govt council (for governoship)

Meanwhile, for all other positions like Senatorial seat, House of Reps and state house of Assembly shall be for the candidate having the highest votes.

This is an unintelligent and selfish attempt peculiarly tailored by northern distraught . I feel with this kind of evil politics, Nigeria will go nowhere. Where was this writer when Buhari was depending and romancing Tinibu for votes? I am neither a Buhari nor Tinibu supporter because I believe they have nothing new to contribute to Nigeria"s growth. It's absolutely a sorry the for this country. May God help us

From my own observations, I have noticed that the predominance of cars in Nigeria varies from one state to another. These are some of my observations as regards to cars predominance by states in Nigeria:
Abia - Mercedes-Benz
Anambra - Peugeot
Bayelsa - Mazda
Delta - Toyota (especially camry, corolla and Venza) and Honda (Accord and crosstour)
Edo - Mercedes-Benz (especially C-class trim : w202 C180)
Kaduna -Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot
Lagos - Toyota and Honda
Ogun - Nissan (especially the old primera)
Ondo - Nissan (especially the old primera)

These are my observations. Please add yours

Nahhh....Kaduna:Honda/Toyota

The Bible says "he who findeth a wife(Not girlfriend) findeth a good thing and obtain favour from the lord" Prov 18:22. Marriage should be d bedrock or condition for any man to enter into any emotional relationship with a woman(not girl). It should be honourable and undefile(Heb 13:4)........if one is careful about his/her spiritual life, boy friend/girl friend relationship should not be entertained...............the bible is critical about love only when built on Christ. Girls should be treated as sister and older women as mothers, they aren't sex-properties!(1Tim 5:2)...May God help us in Jesus name

May God heal your marriage......God hates Divorce Mal 2:16 Matt 5:31-32 matt 9:1-13..... Rev Anita/Chris look unto God(not court) for healing

Emasel:

You are very much qualified!

Thank you very much my brother. God will surely bless you.

Emasel:

He should,but it will also depend on the persons' grades at HND and PGD,because Elect/Elect has high admission standards.

thank you for your response. HND (upper credit 4.08, PGD 3.8 ) will this be enough for admission? I really appreciate.

Almighty father,since you hate divorce.......pls my father, heal their marriage in Jesus name. Amen

Emasel:

It depends on the program/department you are applying for. General Masters like MBA accept 2-2,but most professional masters like MSc and MEng do not.However,if you did your first degree in UNIBEN,you might be given provisional admission but for external candidates with 2-2,it is usually difficult.Most departments will advise you to enrol for PGD before commencing your MSc,that is if you are applying with a 2-2 degree from another school.

thanks for the enlightenment. Pls what about someone who holds HND Telecomunication/Electronics Engineering, PGD Telecommunication and Electronics Engineering from a different university, will he be given M.Eng in electronics and telecommunication Engineering?

Finally, its out....Good luck to all applicants....see u @the great Uniben soon,

Pls is there any1 from UI studying M.Eng in Instrument and Control Engineering here? A brother with a PGD in Telecommunication/Electronics Engineering wants to apply M.Eng in instrument/Control Engineering. What's the basic requirement pls? Thanks
