Bosses wey don book flight, is there any direct flight from Lagos to Finland? Cos the agent I contacted is telling me about 225k. (told him to get me cheap one). I asked, he said it's direct, non stop.
.
Anybody here dey travel to Finland on 1st September?

@genexy, have dey respond 2 ur mail?

I'm on wakanow.com page... About the payment options, wch one you use?

I'm thinking of using bank, but I'm thinking on how I'll be notified when they receive the money.... and get my ticket.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
maybe its cos I wore black tee shirt n camouflage shorts..... I was a naval cadet then and all I did was apply like every other person there.... I just walked in, stated my intention and I was told to fill a form, pay my money n asked to wait after doing all that was required

Now you've seen the reason...

INDUSTRIALFAN:
a friend did his own at asaba at 17,500 and even got it same day same with me.... I did mine at Benin At 17500 also and I waited n collected it same day in less than 4hrs

Government new approved cost for Nigerian Passport is N15,000. It use to be 9-10k. But NO IMMIGRATION OFFICER/OFFICE in this country will do it at that cost.(Unless you an officer yourself).
The deal is presently the price is negotiable. It ranges from 25K to 28K. It all depends on your power of negotiation and the officer involved.

This is from a post made last year.

[color=#000050]Well, there are a lot of factors to put into consideration as regards this issue of reading to understand.

First of all one has to decide to want to read. You can't do anything well if you are forced to do that thing or you feel that thing is something you 'must' do, so you just have to do it.
It's the same way with reading. You first of all have to develop the desire to read. The desire to get the knowledge that the particular book or course you want to read is offering.
The truth is if you don't desire to read, you will never understand as you supposed to.

Another thing one should take into consideration is the environment you want to read in.
Some people like to read in quite environments, some like to read in noisy environments. Some like to read while listening to soft or loud music. Some like to read while munching a snack, or biscuit or sipping from their favorite drinks.
Some like to read with a friend and have chit chats in between the reading exercise.
As for me, I can only understand in a quite environment. One where I am alone and there is no noise.
I also like to walking around while I am memorizing(craming). It helps me grasp it faster.
I am someone who thinks on her feet, so when I am memorizing a passage of a book, I prefer to walk around.

I also like to jot down as I write. Before I read a course, I get a 60/80 leaves exercise book and I draw a thin like down the middle of each page.
So as I read each topic, I jot down some important points.
I have come to the realization that whenever I jot down anything while reading, I hardly forget.
In school, the lecturers normally gave us materials, both in soft and hard copy.
So when I am done jotting down those important points in this materials, the next time I read that subject or topic, I just go through what I have jotted down.

I also try to understand the ways lecturers set their questions. Some lecturers always follow a certain pattern when setting their exam and test questions.
Even in some courses, despite the lecturer handling that course, the method of setting the questions is always the same.
So if you know how these exam question are asked, you would know the pattern you would use in reading.
Some students just ignorantly read everything and they don't pay cognizance to some center key areas where the bulk of these questions are asked from.

Past questions are also important and surprisingly, they are always available.
When I get these past questions, I always use them as a guide as to how to read.
When I am done reading a course, I test myself with these past question to see if I have really covered the scheme and if I truly understand the course and to ascertain how ready I am for the exam.

Group reading is also essential. Is good to always have a group of friends you discuss a course with. It's not necessary you do it with them everyday but you pick a particular time maybe twice a week to read and discuss together.
One thing I have noticed is whatever I discuss any topic with my friends, I never forget it and I also understand it better.

Finally, one thing about this courses is that they are very volatile. So I always try to make sure at every point in time, I able to remember everything I have read.
The way I do this is that I get an exercise book, and from time to time, I try to replicate what I have read and memorized on the book. The more I do that, the more I tend not to forget what I read.

The time one reads is also important. In school, majority of students always read at night. In Uniben it's called Night class. One thing I noticed is that not everyone actually likes or knows how to read night but because their friends read at night, they decide to tag along.
I noticed that my brain is normally alert during the evenings and early in the morning.
So, I always read from 5- 7 in the morning and after classes in the evening all the way till 11-12pm.
Once it's 1am in the morning, my brain stops assimilating so at that time, I just go to my hostel and sleep.

I always read in classes or at the library. And it's not just any class. The way the class is lighted also affects the way I read and understand. I prefer classes that are well lighted.
I also like chewing gum when I read. It also helps me grasp faster, and I don't fall asleep easily.
And when I sit in the class, I always sit at the extreme of the chairs. If I sit in the middle, I just feel uncomfortable.

I also commit what I read into God's hand. He is the one that blessed me with the brain, so I always ask Him to help me understand better.[/color]

Nice one babe.
..... Jst wanna know... Did you make 1st class?

kaka22:
Then, it is general agreement on the part of immigration staffs in Ibadan and Lagos to get illegal money through that means. I had all the necessary documents with me but I wasn't informed by the immigration officer that the official price was 17k. If I was informed, I would have done it myself...

That is the corruption everybody is talking about.
There is no immigration office in Nigeria that will do it for you @that 17k official price.

In Asaba, it ranges from 25k to 27.5k. Lowest you can do it is 24k.

You weren't 'cheated' per say. It is the corruption in that system. It needs to b sanitized.

Bosses in the house, I hail ooooooo!
I am happy to tell u guys that, though it started like a dream but right now gbabe omo na reality. Live from Jyvaskila, the city of midnight sun!

I got to Helsinki around 7:30am yesterday was able to catch a train and head directly to Jyvaskila through the help of the info centre at the airport and of course my beautiful tutor (Valeria). The journey was not as smooth as painted though, I had one or two challenges expected of a jjc normally.

Please pay attention to some of my gist here, don't fall into the pit I had fallen!

Most importantly money: don't borther to change money from any Aboki or bureau de change ooooo if the exchange as at today is more than 251 naira to euro. U can comfortably use ur naira master card and get ur money in Euro at that price and sometimes lesser arround 249 at the ATM machines in Helsinki airport. I used my gt naira MasterCard here and that was the exchange rate with their charges included.

Yellow card: it is a fable! U don't need that shit. I got mine for 1.5k but it was just an extra luggage nobody asked for it or pay any attention to it even when I try to tender it to show off say I get complete document. But if u are not comfortable or to avoid the wahala of immigration for Nija cos they won't stop at nothing to extort u as a first timer!

Buy anything buy able and carry anything carry able cos when u get here u will definitely regreat leaving that stuff u call minor back home. I could not communicate or get some stuff done since yesterday cos my charger na three pin mouth. Here u can only find sockets with two round holes or small three round holes that I am not sure we have similar type in Nija........

Abeg I go continue later ...... Got to attend to something right now. Here dem no de play with punctuality ooooooo

Boss well done.

Pls this is really happening to me, I want my friends in nairaland to help me with there candid advice, there is this girl l fall in love with and I really want to settle down with her. I have introduced her to my people especially my mum, and she tried introduced me to her people but the problem her is her dad who is a strong hold in assemblies of God told her that it is not GOING to work because am a catholic, the girl is very confused and me too too I don't know what to do and really want her to be my wife as am planing to do everything next years, pks my friends your candid advice is needed in this situation and I will appreciate it thanks...

My candid advice is for parents to avoid using denominations to alter the love of their children.

Pray the father soft pedals. You can also seek his reasons for rejecting you as a Catholic.

All the Best.

I absolutely understand you.

I will like the Assembly of God brethren to clear this.
