Crime › Re: Gunmen Kill Deaf Man, Abduct Seven In Kaduna Community by cucumbar: 1:28pm On Mar 17
Faith0:
Gunmen suspected to be bandits on Monday attacked Sabon Gyero community in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing one person and abducting seven others.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the attackers stormed the community in large numbers in the early hours, breaking into a residence and abducting three women and four children.

During the raid, the bandits were said to have also attacked a phone charging centre, where they shot and killed a young man identified as Abdullahi Lawal, popularly known as “Kurma.” Lawal, who was deaf and dumb, reportedly sustained a gunshot wound to the head. He was rushed to a hospital but died before reaching medical care.

Sources in the community said the assailants also stole several mobile phones and laptops from the charging centre before fleeing the scene. The deceased was later buried in the community in accordance with Islamic rites.Reacting to the attack, the Commandant of the Joint Task Force in the area, Uwaisu Yunusa, told our correspondent that the operatives responded promptly after hearing gunshots.

“Our men heard gunshots and quickly moved to the area. We tried to pursue the attackers, but they had already escaped before our arrival,” he said.

As of the time of filing this report, the Nigeria Police Force had not yet issued an official statement on the incident.

Passport has been submitted and yet to be collected.

But the visa details on tracker site indicates its to the end of passport validity. You know, the tracker site shows visa details such as number and validity. Infact, it’s from this details that some know they've been issued visa even before receiving PPR letter.
Yeah, I know you could see that info on the tracker site.

Congrats again.

Spouse solo application few months after husband's successful application.
Submission: 11th Feb
Biometrics: 13th Feb (Lagos)
PPR: 13th Mar

Self-application with following usual documents:

-Detailed cover letter explaining why hubby initially said he'll be travelling alone but now, after getting his visa, wife is applying to travel with him (this gave some concerns during the application but relieved it didn't work against the application).
-Employment letter.
-Employer letter of intro confirming monthly salary of 800k NGN.
-Joint hubby/wife dom Account balance of 8k USD
-hotel reservation (just this, no tours were booked)
-Yet to use hubby's Canada visa issued last year, 2025.
-Average travel history with 3 expired visas on passport but all utilized within the last 3 years. 1 Schengen, 1 UK and another non tier 1 country.
-Pictures from previous travels at different times.
- There was zero visa refusal history (I'm having a feeling this probably made the application processing faster, might be wrong though).
Congrats! Did the visa issued cover the validity of your passport?

Shipro services is top notch.

I got a DJI product directly from China through their service.

This was an item I was looking to purchase since last year October.

Aliexpress wouldn’t ship to Nigeria because of customs ish .

I saved over 200k, compared to the amount I would have paid if I purchased it in Lagos.

I never knew them, but saw the thread here and decided to give them a try.

Thanx boss. I’m happy with my purchase.

Hope to patronize you again soon.

Construction progress continues on the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, particularly between Kilometer 20 and 30 (Ogombo–Sangotedo–Eko Akete axis).

During our last visit in February, this stretch was still undergoing active pavement works. Now, as of March, one carriageway has been fully completed from Kilometer 20 all the way to Kilometer 30, marking significant progress on this section of the project.

I once said this should be made compulsory in Nigeria. This will give birth to patriotic countrymen not just political aliens. The nysc should be scrapped and converted into a military service for atleast 2yrs for the male gender and a bit less for the female gender. Qualifications not needed except mental evaluation and age should be between 17-45.

MayorOfEdmonton:
Baba is there a “statistic” or official visa requirement of $45,000 PoF as a tourist?
While your stats about visa refusal is accurate…it’s unrelated to POF. Which was the question OP asked.

Let’s learn to separate verifiable facts from personal opinion.
Fact: there’s increasing rejection rate of TRV.
Opinion: having a significant POF ($45k that most Canadians don’t even have saved) that can be traced to the stated source of income improves possible positive outcome.

And you’re 100% correct that the 2026 TRV rejection rate will keep increasing as Conservatives are asking for Diab to be fired for problems that predates her resumption of office. It has become very political now.
Cheers
45k wetin ? 😁😁 Una go kill person for this thread o.

Goodmarlian:
I mean come to think of it, it seems ladies have totally lost interest in online communication in this generation people are all over social media but they are not really communicating or communicating very little, they may jump on trends, make comments but never communicate directly with each other, I remember in the days of 2go people are so eager to chat like crazy, it seems the steam has died down now.

These days I can bet you that if you collect the number of 10 ladies only 2 or 3 will reply you the way you want to be replied , I use to think the women do not chat a guy because they are not interested but I later realised it's not really so because even my girlfriend does the same thing she is so lazy to chat online.

Maybe the world is drifting back to the days of physical communication as online communication is getting boring and emotionless.
Dem no like you if they aren’t responding to you.

That same girl is spamming another guy that’s why she’s not responding to you.

If them like you, na you go taya for chat sef.

Travel › Re: Considering Returning To Nigeria After Growing Up Abroad by cucumbar: 9:26pm On Feb 24
Candycindy:
Good day everyone,
I was born in Nigeria but moved to Europe when I was 10. I’ve been living here for almost 10 years, and now I’m about to turn 20. Despite growing up, going to school, and having some education, I still don’t have my papers. This has made continuing my education or even building a stable life extremely difficult.
My dad, who brought me here, has stopped providing for me. I don’t want to resort to anything illegal or unsafe to survive, so I’m seriously considering returning to Nigeria in 2027. I’m planning to save up as much as I can through jobs and small gigs — ideally, I want to come back with at least 5 million naira.
I want to be with my mom and finally have some control over my life. My question is: with this amount, what kind of business or investment could I realistically start that’s not too risky, so I can build a stable future without losing money?
Any advice, personal experience, or ideas would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
but how come you grew up there and still don’t have papers?

Is that possible?
