Can I file a lost item?
Pained

That salary can't make you wealthy is not entirely true


Depends on the salary, depends on the company or job.
Not working in access bank or mtn Nigeria oo

But some companies have very sweet packages, benefits and career growth that can be a very good way to raise wealth gradually.

As long as entrepreneurs are the wealthiest people on earth, only a very few make it.

This wealthy we are talking about sef, can someone describe it in specific terms? Because I know there are jobs that can make you wealthy.

Dshocker:
If your annual rent is 20% of your monthly income, it means you are supposed to raise a minimum of N5m-N10m in 6 months.

And on the island, there are apartments that can be sold for N10m-N100m, and can even allow you pay installments of up to 3yrs.

So why haven't you own one?

please show me how to get such apartment… not the one I will be chasing people up and down for my money o.

payjoe:
How would you know that if you've not been in the UK before. I have been to Paris and some places in Spain (Alicante, Valencia and Benidorm) and some other European cities. Trust me, the UK is not boring. My work and some times social life takes me around the UK quite often and there are lots of places of Interest in these four Nations.

well, I use to watch travel videos on YouTube extensively before I decide which country to visit on holidays. I’ve never found anything interesting that will compel me to visit the Uk. I enjoyed my trip to nairobi and Cape Town/ Johannesburg more than trips to Europe.
I’m thinking it just have to do with personal interests anyway.

I’ve not been to the UK before, but I think it’s a boring place with nothing much to see compared to places like Paris and Barcelona.

Are you a Fulani herdsman or bokoharam? What are you going to do in chad?

davodyguy:
Thank you for your response.

I thought about this, but I was like, what if the case officer feels it was deliberately omitted and then rule against my application.

The reference number is with me, which is what was sent to the embassy.

I can send soft copy via email and also do hard copy drop off myself at Walter Carrington on Monday.

Just worried about the reaction of the officer.

but how come you forgot to include your personal account statement or was it deliberate? Them no day forget that kind thing for visa matter nau.

Ramaphosa should know that Just As Nigeria and His Country Rejected The West GAY thing few years ago is the Main Reason why this Whites Dogs called Anglo-America wanna Bomb Nigeria and South Africa.

It is only a foolishly Stupid African that Supports France, USA, Britain.

bro, what are you saying? Gay has been legalized in South Africa since nau. Don’t misinform people, please.

Blackfinegirl:
let me try to explain it to you.

You get a three months visa (Permit to travel and enter ) from June 30th to September 30th, so you can enter anytime from June 30th to September 29th and your 3 months starts counting from the day you entered brazil, just like the way its done in the US. If you entered brazil July 25th, you 3 months starts counting from July to Oct. (Permit to stay).

I am open to corrections though.

I’m thinking you should enter and leave before September 30th. If you stay beyond September 30th, then it’s illegal.you would have overstayed your visa

Viraltrends123:
I've been to SA, SA has lots of slum, even more than Lagos, I don't want to share pictures.

Lagos is the 3 most developed cities in AFRICA. and the main thing is it's by far more Developed than your ADAMAWA and Anambra, so why pushing a failed leader on us

Abeg, where in SA did you go to? If you have truely been to SA, you won’t compare it to Nigeria. Dem no be mate.
This Lagos you people speak so highly of, I use to wonder if it’s the same Lagos I live in.
The whole of Nigeria is a slum sef.
Don’t tell lies because you want to be patriotic.

Ashirioluwa:
I am aware that travel history is a factor when considering visa applications, but it is not the sole reason.

It also important how an application is packaged. A thorough cover letter and the required paperwork are equally important.

Also, keep in mind that the "regular travelers" of today once filed for visas with brand-new passports.

well, I think a lot of factors come into play in deciding who gets a visa or not and travel history is just one of them.
If you are an employee, the organization you work with, your role and how much you earn is important. Some organizations open doors. This could come in handy for first timers.
If you are a business person, the type of business you do and your turnover comes into play here.
When I got my first shengen visa, I didn’t have what could be considered travel history, as I only had a dubai stamp and Brazilian visa that I had not used.

Some one mentioned a very key factor on another thread and I’m going to quote it here( credit to pansophist)

“To get a visa easily from any country, YOU MUST GIVE THE CONSULAR A VIBE OF AFFLUENCE. The consular must be convinced that you are least likely to overstay or abuse the conditions of your visa. This is where most applicants get a denial because it is difficult to prove”.

The bolded sums it up.
There are visa applications the consular will see and can’t help but approve your application. In fact, if it normally takes 1 month for visa processing, such applications will be out in two weeks.
My brother will always tell me that…. Hmmm your documents look intimidating o. This one na express approval, and it has always been like that.
Pansophist….one of the few monikers I always never jump his comments! you are ALWAYS making sense.

pansophist:
To get a visa easily from any country, you must give the consular a vibe of affluence. The consular must be convinced that you are least likely to overstay or abuse the conditions of your visa. This is where most applicants get a denial because it is difficult to prove.

So if your plan is to start traveling around the world in two years' time for example, then you must start planning now. necessary plans are things like registering your business and operating with a corporate account, to show the inflow and outflow of transactions, and you can boost possibly, and delay cash there. If you have any landed properties, are married with kids, or have any affiliations that show that you are thoroughly invested back home, then it is a plus.

What you must do is show that you have more ties back home than abroad. Lots of visa applicants make the fatal mistake of showing excessive ties with their destination countries, and no strong ties back home. They show ties such as invitation letters from abroad, financial statements from their sponsors, the strength of their relationship with their sponsors, and no ties back home that is equally or stronger than their ties abroad.

From the eyes of the consular officer, you are in the category of risk, and the visa will hardly be given to you unless your circumstances change. If your destination is the Schengen area, then it will help you immensely if you download the document titled ''visa code'' (REGULATION (EC) No 810/2009), this is the document that consular officers make their decisions from, and if you have ever applied for a visa before, you will notice that they quote sections from this documents when denying or issuing a visa.

As to the old saying, to catch a rat, you must be able to think like a rat. To get a visa, you must be able to analyze yourself from the eyes of the visa officer. Getting a visa is mostly something you qualify for or don't. And the consular officer will mostly just reveal your status to you. SO prepare well, don't rush, and make sure that when you hit, you don't miss.

what kind of visa? It’s just 2 weeks nau. Still early. Though I got a response from them in 2 weeks, but Voya Visa will tell you that it’s a minimum of 3 weeks before you get a response.

Theunbothered:
What exactly is wrong with you people?

There were 72 Chinese and one Nigerian arrested for fraud, the racist Arabs will ignore the Chinese and focus on the one Nigerian while self hating Nigerians will clap for them like monkeys.
https://www.khaleejtimes.com/crime/uae-79-fined-up-to-dh10-million-after-being-convicted-of-fraud-money-laundering?amp=1

was this the reason for the recent ban?

They should have made their visa process stringent like the those of the USA and Europe rather than opting for an outright ban.

sihamey:
If you want to jakpa to Turkey take note of this ;
Turkey is 101% Muslim country
There is no good job in Turkey for you as a foreigner especially for African
Turkey is good for holiday not for hustle
Turkish are racist
A friend of mine in Turkey is regretting now with no job , hunger and considering joining Yahoo gang to survive. This is what put Nigerian in bad light abroad, it wasn’t his intention to do yahoo because he believes anything abroad is better than Nigeria and the reality is done on him

Note I’m not discouraging anyone to Japa you need to do your research well I’m sure my friend is not the only one trapped in turkey

It was his intention. Don’t make excuses for him. He has a choice of returning to Nigeria if things are not working well for him, rather than delving into criminality; at least, he has friends like you to fall back on if he decides to return,

Hmmm! I score 3/15. Next month it will be 4/15.
God is good, all the time !

johnpalmer774:
You are a big fool for written the rubbish all because you want to fool your gullible followers, i watched the video of Tinubu live and i can tell you those in attendance understood what Tinubu means, they eve clapped for him so let me school you a bit before you continue to deceive your senseless followers , What he meant is that America and the companies that manufacture those cars also borrow to run their businesses .

it's very simple logic and example, always looking for fault where there is none.

Does your explanation make sense? Why do you always have to explain tinubu’s statements anytime he gives a speech? You guys are really annoying.

KGD10:
Tinubu keep showing the low intelligence of his haters!

He mentioned two things here

He said if borrowing is a crime, then America will be in jail (since they've got debt too). He also said if borrowing is a crime, people should stop using Lexus etc (which are not from Nigeria of course). He's saying there's nothing wrong in borrowing, only if it's used for something tangible such as development, just like there's nothing wrong with America borrowing since they're using it for good stuff.

this your explanation no make sense.
If you have to interpret everything Tinubu says, when he is not speaking Spanish, then that means there is a problem.
You people should quit supporting rubbish because of your selfish aims.

@Olasco001

A fully paid Conference in December for just a week, accommodation and feeding on the conference.

I am 27 yrs old final year student, middle class and as of today, I don't have any money in my account.

What will I submit as proof of statement?

Are there other alternatives?

My interview is in November.

How do you know you are middle class as at today?

Iondale988:
I guess they process differently. Mine is a student visa. The email clearly states that I should come to Turkish Embassy in Abuja. Voya Visa cannot stamp the visa. I will be going to the embassy

oh okay.

Iondale988:
I submitted my passport at Voya visa Lagos on the 15th of August 2022 with $225 and 18,800 naira for courier of my passport. Dhl delivered my passport to me with a white paper that said my Visa application has been sent to Turkish authorities for examination, then yesterday i received an email from the Turkish embassy in Abuja that my visa has been approved, and I should come to the embassy with
1) Paid Flight ticket
2) Health insurance
3) My passport

Do these people process visas differently?
When I applied last month, my passport was returned to me In exactly 2 weeks with visa on it. I wasn’t asked for paid flight ticket either.

Does that mean you will have to travel to Abuja with your documents or you can submit at Voya visa?

Was it a tourist visa you applied for?

Tesclaros:
bro you serious about this? You sure it takes 5 days to process even for first time travelers? Cos i need a nice country for vacation this year that takes lesser time to process

well, a decision was made on my application in 3-5 days In may. Was a first time traveler.

Tesclaros:
heard tourist visa now takes 3-4 months to process
Was told by Travelbeta (for first timers)

na wa o. Even better country like France took just 5days to process.

officialwdhtv:

What are the best cities in the world?

These are the coolest cities to visit on the planet, as voted for by the readers of Condé Nast Traveller… and Cape Town in South Africa has found itself on the list once again.

The annual Readers’ Travel Awards celebrates the best of the best in travel, as voted for by people who love travel… the readers of Condé Nast Traveller.

Readers have to rate their favourite countries based on various criteria including food, accommodation, scenery, and value for money. A score is then given representing overall average levels of satisfaction.

And Cape Town scored 88.27 for 2022, putting the Mother City (SA's oldest city) at number 9!

This is what the publication had to say.

“On pristine beaches, penguins waddle about their business while leaping dolphins frame spectacular sunsets – and thrill-seekers head out on boats to come face-to-face with fearsome sharks. Away from the ocean, guests check into world-renowned hotels such as The Silo, the recognisable property where rooms feature contemporary African art and 360-degree views of the city. Table Mountain views are enjoyed over supper, especially during trips to Delaire Graff Estate for wine-swirling and impeccable tasting menus.”

But this is not the first time that Cape Town has been voted as “one of the best cities” in the world. In 2019, the Telegraph voted Cape Town as THE BEST CITY in the world… a title that the city had held onto for seven years! I

Check out the full Condé Nast Traveller list below:

10. Mumbai, India. Score 88.27
9. Cape Town, South Africa. Score 88.27
8. Québec City, Canada. Score 88.29
7. Mérida, Mexico. Score 88.30
6. Tokyo, Japan. Score 88.32
5. San Sebastián, Spain. Score 89.15
4. Bangkok, Thailand. Score 89.36
3. Victoria, Canada. Score 89.46
2. Singapore. Score 89.49
1. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Score 92.94

Not surprised! Cape Town is more beautiful than some European cities. You will think you are in Europe.
