You are in 'DARE' need indeed! And on a "serious" note, what notable higher institution do you say you lecture in? And are you looking to marry or appoint because this is Jobs section?

When you steal the people's properties

You will get the people's judgment and,

then the people's punishment

There is no justification whatsoever for that kind of barbaric act. We are talking about human beings here not animals. Nobody deserves to die like that for whatever reason - burnt alive?!. Not even animals!. And it's only in a backward country like Nigeria that people can decide to take the laws into their hands and get away with it. What they have done is first degree murder, and it is punishable under the law in any civilised country. But like they say again in Yoruba "bi oba aye o ri won, ti orun nwo won". God sees all, including the spectators.

Don't Americans still take criminals to the electric chair?

Yes they do, after being freely and fairly tried, and found guilty beyond reasonable doubts in a court of law.

Does he call his wives and children by their names? How could one possibly remember so many names and who is who? Their story now according to them is 'paradise on earth!', 'everyday is like Sallah!', do they ever pause to think what's going to happen to each and everyone of them when Pa Abubarkar goes to Al-janna?

This is my View regarding This, I enjoy it and would need a partner who is a freak aswell.

Let me hear your View.

If you speak the way you write - incoherent, I doubt if any lady would want to kiss you!

Pataki:
Accepted that he overstayed, on what grounds did he overstay? Ma'am, whether he uses a TC or his international passport, the fact still remains that he will be subjected to questioning upon his arrival at MMA.

On what grounds do people who have multiple visas and come here to work for months or even years, travel back home with a TC, backdate their passports for visa/immigration purposes and re-enter, overstay? I know people who have returned home on a TC before and am telling you it's not as difficult as you make it look. In Lagos you tell them your passport is lost, they wouldn't know exactly when you left the country, that you've been out for four years.

And I have been asked to leave UK before exactly like the guy in Ireland and I left. But in my case I wasn't an assylum seeker. All our passports(my whole family) were stamped by the home office, our fingerprints were not taken though, we were in UK for four years. We travelled back home on our passports which the home office returned to us. At the airport in Lagos they wanted to be funny, and wanted me to give them a certain amount of money before we could pass through but I told them we did not commit a criminal offence, none of us was in prison, we only overstayed because we filed for a stay to be able to live with my husband who is resident in UK. So I told them I have no money to give them. They delayed us for sometime but NOT for questioning, more like abandoning us to do other things until we are ready to comply. So we sat there, but then one of them came back to us after some time and jokingly said do I want to say that we do not have chewing gum or chocolates for them and I said no I don't. So he said we must be tired, we can go. Believe me they did not even check our luggages and we have loads of them, it's like everything we've had in four years and we were like the last to leave the airpot. We still returned here on the same stamped passports. That was years ago, I don't know if the home office take fingerpints for cases like that now.

Pataki:
Why?
1. He is going to pass through the Irish Immigration border at the airport, will most likely be asked to fill up some forms, and details will be stamped on either the TC or his passport.
Or do you wish to tell me otherwise?

I don't know about Ireland.

another 'new' ID card scheme?

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

New identity card management scheme to cost about N30 billion
x | July 02, 2008
The new identity card management scheme, which is expected to start at the end of the year is to cost about N30 billion.

The Director-General of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) said the money is to be used to upgrade the National Identity (ID) Card management scheme to an international standard and create a national identity database.

He said the N30 billion is an estimate since the Commission has not considered the existing infrastructure inherited by NIMC and when the audit is completed; the total cost of the identity card scheme might be reduced.

The previous identity card scheme cost about $215 million (N25 billion) and was handled by Sagem SA of France.

The Director-General said: “Another infrastructure upgrade has to do with the creation of a secure National Identity Database with necessary authentication and verification infrastructure and full business continuity support so that it would be easy for anyone from anywhere within Nigeria to prove or assert his /her identity.

“Accordingly, to achieve this objective, the Commission is focused on expanding, extending and enhancing existing identity infrastructure and where necessary exiting obsolete technology and processes in order to establish a reliable, secure and scalable identity management system infrastructure that utilises advanced biometric technologies to uniquely identify every individual in the country.

“This strategy is what we have code- named 4Es through, which we ultimately hope to deliver in partnership with the private sector, a National ID Management System infrastructure upgrade that is consumer focused and sustainable,”

"with the population of the northerners in the state as well as their productivity, we deserve, at least one commissioner slot in the state cabinet or even more."

OK now. With the population of Southerners and their productivity in some states like Sokoto, Kano and Kaduna, do we not at least deserve one commissioner slot in each of these state cabinets?

Our juju failed us, kidnappers tell Okiro
By Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja
Published: Thursday, 3 Jul 2008

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mike Okiro, and other senior police officers watched in awe on Wednesday as suspected kidnappers narrated how they tried in vain to secure the release of one of their own from police station with the aid of juju.

The suspects, Idorenyin Akpan, Aniefiok Sunday and Aniefiok, told Okiro that they had gone to the Akwa Ibom State Police Headquarters in Uyo to plant charms against the commissioner of police in the state and the investigating officers in charge of the case of a Lebanese who was kidnapped.

They claimed that their friend was arrested at Ikot Akpan, Abia Village, Uyo, on June 28, adding that the essence of the charm was to cause confusion among policemen in the headquarters to release their colleagues and evade justice.

Akpan, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, said, “We went there with our juju which was prepared for us by the man who we have paid for the job. We paid him N7,000.

“But we were surprised that instead of the juju working in our favour, it worked against us. That was how we were arrested.”

Our people use to say 'if one hasn't been to anothers father's farm, one would believe his father's farm is the best'. This is just a question of 'juju' pass 'juju'. Our policemen too no easy o!!! Then too they jazz, abi na who wan die? So the robbers wey carry juju go meet police for station, then know wetin the policemen get for hand and body?

@All

99% of Assylum seekers don't have passport.

Thts's exactly what am saying that he would leave on his own free will just like any other person. They wud issue him with a travel certificate. People do it all the time. He tells the immigration in Lagos if they ask him that his passport is lost. Am telling you he would only need to give them anything if he so desires. If he says he has no money then he has none, nobody would detain him for loss of passport. He hasn't just been released from prison. He overstayed(forget assylum) and is returning home.

[quote author=funkybaby link=topic=147413.msg2449576#msg2449576 date=121499949

Either he buys the ticket or he gets deported, those boys at immigration will still subject him to humiliation [quote][/quote]If he buys a ticket and leave like they say, no immigration officer in Nigeria will ever bother him if he knows his rights, he has not committed a criminal offence. He has only overstayed. It's not like he has been in prison and being deported, escorted or dragged into the aircraft in handcuffs by the police. He is leaving of his own free will(although advised to do that), from his home(not prison or detention camp), with a flight of his choice. A lot of people overstay in foreign countries and they have a right as citizens to return home. Some only pay to 'backdate' to be able to return to the same country immediately. And this doesn't even apply in his case. So he should just walk now while he still can.

Indifferent!

Udode:
What a smart girl you are :-)

yes i am white! Why, does that change anything in your way of replying?

No it wouldn't , but then you seek male opinions.

My opinion is that your wife will have to come and live in Nigeria for at least 3 years before she can apply for naturalisation to become a Nigerian Citizen, and that is the general rule in most countries of the world with some small variation.

Spot on. And poster to note should they decide to move to/reside in Nigeria for 3 years or more for his wife to be able to naturalize, she would need a visa to reenter the country each time she leaves.

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=144337.msg2434138#msg2434138 date=1214682439][size=10pt][color=#770077]Okay, so it is now a case of which comes first, the chicken or the egg? First destination or Principal/Main destination.
If he did not have the option to present at the Swedish Consulate as you presumed, why did you think he was turned down at the French Consulate?[/quote]Maybe they thought he was arrogant, doing a French visa interview and stating he was not going to stay in that country, that his destination is Sweden.
He was actually going to France for a day trip and France was his first point of call before Sweden. So the French Embassy was his best bet for the Schengen visa. But he started on a wrong footing with the french consulate on the 'address overseas' issue.

@ Poster:

Why stress yourself before the big day. Why not relax and let mum and dad take care of things.

Udode dearest, are you by any chance white and married to a black man?

Nothing extraordinary. Relax. No worries. Just live. Be happy and the babies will come.

wifepalava:
She is not an educated woman so this probably makes it more difficult because she doesn't seem to be able to help herself.

If I may ask what's the level of your education? You've been abroad for seven years, went home and the only lady that is attracted to you and you chose to marry as huge as Nigeria is, is the "uneducated". That speaks volumes about yourself.

What army? "A hungry man is an angry man"!!!

tpia:
RIP.
the news reports said their wives and children were escorted to the execution site?
I wonder why. Were they flown over from Nigeria to watch them die, or are the families Indonesian.

oh oh!

Delta007:
Although both countries are Schengen countries, since France is his first country of visit (amongst the Schengen countries), he has to apply for a schengen visa through the French embassy. I stand corrected tho.

I agree with you o jare. Don't forget @ poster, the guy himself said at the embassy he wasn't going to France. So we take it he is not interested in the bus trip to Paris. So then his destination after the course is Sweden to see his brother whom he last saw in 2005 while he was on a business trip to Brussels .

vikiviko:
Switzerland is not a member of the EU and she is also not a Schengen state. Hence, Wale turned to the French Embassy for a schengen visa since all schengen countries offer that. Unfortunately, Wale was denied a schengen visa by the French. It was only at the interview that they told him to present a hotel booking in Paris.
Wale explained to them at the embassy that he was not going to stay in Paris, that his destination is Sweden.
aderounmu@gmail.com

This is a very straightforward case and the French Embassy is 100% right in refusing your friend a Visa.
One of the requirements for the provision of a Visa at any foreign embassy is 'address overseas'. They want to know one has a place to stay abroad and not just roam or be stranded on the streets. These people know nobody, they do not know a rich man from a poor man, a banker from an engineer. For the purpose of a Visa, we are all applicants to them. Your friend is widely travelled yet he forgot the embassy would ask for his address overseas and thus was not able to provide the information regarding his hotel and to make matters worse categorically told them he was not even going to their country but he only wanted a visa from them for the purpose of going to another country in this case Sweden - now how does that sound to you? The Schengen rule states that ones first point of call is the Visa issuance country. Is the french consulate there for visitors to be able to visit Sweden? Why didn't your friend go to Embassy of Sweden? Please call a spade a spade!!!

I bet J. C Jeans and Clothes is smiling to the banks!

the trip wont be on till november!! i don't think i will want to wait that long. lookin at the private tour options

Something tells me mum would enjoy the trip better in the company of other fellow christian pilgrims. Don't the Yorubas say 'ki a rin ki a po, yiye ni iye ni' - Mum will get to meet lots of new christian friends: and it will just be like "the more we get together, the happier we'll be". Mum will have lots of company on the trip, there wouldn't be a dull moment and November is just round the corner anyway.

Lucky mum!
Why not contact your states christian pilgrims welfare board. They should have all the information you need.
