Thailand is still closed for tourists. Nigerians don't have good reputation in Thailand so all the required documents are obligatory

cucumbar:
I’m thinking of a tourist visit to Thailand sometime next year.

The conditions I saw on their website required for Nigerians to obtain a tourist visa are really stringent. E.g:clearance certificate from NDLEA, Police clearance, and clearance from Ministry of foreign affairs; bank statements certified by ministry of foreign affairs and the courts.

I’m finding hard to believe all these are needed to go spend some days

I really want to find out lf one must meet these conditions before I can be granted a visa.

Has anyone successfully processed a tourist visa to Thailand recently (before COVID-19). ?

Ok, I'll text you now

Slimdaddy21:
Good morning,
@ Cutealexio please drop your number here, I want to call you to ask few questions concerning Wroclaw university

Here, are you starting this year also?

Slimdaddy21:
Hello house, anyone going to study in Wroclaw university this year?

Please who knows how to book appointment for documents legalization? Thank you

OP shouldn't join selfish bloggers in spreading fake news about the departed. The deceased family and close relatives already debunked the rumor and they told the blogger to take the story down. Her husband said she embarked on the procedure due to health challenges... People will do anything to get traffic to their blogs these days. Saddening!

Thailand is a nice place, I have been there twice on visit visa. I didn't tour Bangkok... spent my time in Pattaya and Koh lan. Planning to go again but this time to Phuket

Funniest part is they all see these things abroad and I'm sure the contractors included it in the cost but our politicians will rather cut it so that the National cake will be enough

Innoson and proforce are the leading automobile manufacturing companies in Nigeria. They both started by displaying their products first before giving in depth access to their manufacturing/assembly line. I remember innoson was also accused of assembling made in China vehicles when he first started. We shouldn't be quick to discredit local startups, if we don't have faith in them who will?

everything no be Buhari. If you read the article it was stated that they're now producing the oil similar to ours

Beckham14:
We did not have it this bad under the peaceful administration of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan..

The ineptitude of General buhari is causing this nation a whole lot.

Imagine Ghana chasing us like rats from their country indirectly and making us a laughing stock to South Africa and the rest of the world. Now, one of our biggest customers have slashed it's import of our crude oil because of one lanky President Buhari.

When we talk, zombies who choose to remain eternal slaves will attack us verbally.

Instead of Chinese company?

GamalNasser:
You can see the briefcase construction company they gave such an important job to do

Abachas loot was designated for some ongoing project (Lagos-Ibadan road, Second Nigeria bridge and another project) that was the agreement before US government released funds. I don't agree the rail is substandard as you stated but they should tune down the loans in other not to create burden for incoming government. You expect China to give loan without clause?

papermill:
Where is Abacha loot recovered? Why can’t they use the recovered loot to finance the substandard railway they renovated or built? I am happy that we all are going to taste the rot of communism from China.

I wonder why some people are trying to blow this out of proportion. Nigerians already know that if Chinese give you a loan and you're unable to pay back they'll take over the asset until they recover their investment. If IMF or world Bank gives you a loan they'll tell you to implement a policy that will suite the Western world but will kill your economy. I don't see anything bad in the conditions of the loan given by China the only problem is that the present Nigerian government shouldn't abuse this privilege and give incoming government debt burden. No doubt they're getting kickbacks from the Chinese companies. A country like Nigeria shouldn't be even applying for loan to facilitate a $500m project if Ethiopia can construct multi billion dollars dam project without any external loan then why can't we do the same? Buhari led government should make sure they only obtain loans that they'll pay off at the end of their tenure (which I doubt)

It's an already existing airport, just a new terminal to meet international standards.I think it's a good idea if the resources are available to finance the project

GboyegaD:
I understand the state has oil and gas producing and servicing companies who have expatriates however, is that enough to build an International Airport? We need think about ROI before just spending because we want to.

You criticized my statement without stating any reasonable solution to congestion in Nigerian prisons and high level of corruption by officers. Prisons are supposed to be rehabilitation and correction centre for non-fatal offenses and even the federal government is currently in the process of implementing this (FG hints on privatization of Nigerian prisons) just google it. Also there are some research that has be done and the result shows it will suite our needs (DEVELOPMENT OF PRIVATE PRISONS IN ADVANCE COUNTRIES: PROSPECTS FOR NIGERIA PRISONS AND CORRECTION SYSTEM Michael Afolayan, Ph.D.) Is either you're uneducated or you're stuck in stone age. Read more please, you need it!

alphaNomega:
I wonder if you and the 16 others that liked your post understand a thing you wrote there. You want a country like Nigeria to run the kind of prison system USA has? Why do you like learning things the hard way?

Most prisons in US are private owned. This is what Nigeria should do in terms of prison reform

I understand your point but the coastal railway from Lagos to onne port is also on the way. This will serve the Eastern part of Nigeria. My sincere apologies for not mentioning this

Bentila:
The write up is complaining about high cost of haulage to other parts of d country.But no, The greed, the selfishness must continue. All ur mention is Lagos, Ogun, ibadan. Am surprised you didn't mention the lekki deep sea Port .What happened to the other parts of Nigeria. What happens to the many other existing ports dat are been under utilized. Always put the interest of all in your heart, not just your personal interest. Am sure you understand what I am saying.

The Lagos-Ibadan rail will start operations soon. This rail will link both Lagos ports, Ogun State and Ibadan dry port which will help decongest Lagos port. I'll also suggest that Ogun State (most industrialized State in Nigeria) should construct dry port which will be linked to the rail. Rail is the best way to move around logistics no doubt

The role of Nigeria in the sustainability of AfDB cannot be underplayed

Aradu is really old, the weapon systems has become obsolete. The only solution to it will probably be stripping it off its navigation and weapon systems into skeleton in other to reinstall modern ones but that will be as good as buying a new frigate The Nigerian Navy nicknamed it ministry of works because there's always one problem to fix. The agreement signed by Japan after they surrendered to the US was that their armed forces will only maintain defensive roles, they can't buy a lot of weapons even if they want to. How can you say South Korean Navy is better than Chinese Navy?
How many Nuclear submarine do they have?
How many aircraft carriers do they have? Chinese Navy is the best in Asia and second best in the world...Do your research

MiddleDimension:
what kind of agreement do we have with our neighbours and provide links to how we rescued foreigners from pirates when there is enormous pirate activities going on in our waters?
i do not think Aradu is too old. there are ships still in service in the US and Russian Navies that are over 50 years old. ships do not become obsolete.
and china cannot be the second best navy in the world. not even in their neighbourhood can they be compared to the Japanese Navy or even the south Korean Navy.

Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot ...God bless you

Temiel:
You definitely know what you're talking about.
Comments like this is why I am still on Nairaland.

Nice move but as it stands now we have only minimal control on pirates causing mayhem in our coastal territories. The government should eradicate this by providing enough gun boats, frigates and Corrvetes. We don't need submarine or aircraft carrier (jet) yet but what we need is at least two helicopter carrier with transport and attack choppers, that can respond to any pirate activities in our coastal territory. I know the Nigerian Navy has an agreement with most neighbouring west African countries and that was why the Nigerian Navy was able to rescue the Chinese fishing vessels that was hijacked at Ivory Coast few days ago. This frigate is too old and it will only be used for training of the personnel that will man the New frigate Nigeria just ordered. Lastly, no Navy can be strong without producing its own ships. China has the second best Navy in the world today and they achieved this by manufacturing their own battle ships and importing few of its weapon system. Nigeria Navy should enlarge its flying wings for Swift operation

God bless you for this observation

VaselineCrew:
Some roads may have lanes when just constructed, but as soon as they start to fade away, that is the end of the lane marking on that road, almost never to be re-marked again.

Generation after generation of Nigerian drivers keep adapting to the lawlessness of driving on roads without lane markings, further worsening the already chaotic driving situation aided by low level enforcement of law and order by the police force.

I guess to some, we should rejoice at the fact that we even have roads in the first place. Unfortunately, these people are somewhat justified, in the sense that, the unsightly sight of bad roads pervades the entire country.

All in all, we need to promote order in our society and lane markings are a step towards order, at least in terms of road transportation.

You cannot aspire to become a developed country and ignore the details, because the details are far from trivial.

They didn't even bother to clean it up before photoshoot ��. Zero maintenance lifestyle

This video is old and the story behind it was that this Zambian guy was bleeping married woman. The husband came with his friends to settle scores. This is even the same thing they will do to themselves. Of course Racism,Xenophobia exist in China, I won't deny that

Sometimes it's better to just read than make comments that will make people question your reasoning

Saao:
AFTER HIS PLANE KILLED SO MANY, NA NOW HIM THE DIE? JUST REMEMBERED FAVORITE PREACHER KILLED BY HIS PLANE, PASTOR ODUKOYA BIMBO RIP AND RIP MR. VICTOR.

Chadian soldiers are famous for their expertise in land warfare. They're not well armed like Nigerian soldiers but they know how to use what they have. The sets of Nigerian soldiers we have now can't stand them when it comes land warfare.

I don't really understand you but if you're asking if my camera is bad then the answer is No, I was not at the location so how can I use my camera to record? I made a screenshot from a video. Secondly, I never denied the authenticity of the event but the location it took place, my first sentence should be clear enough to you. NB Next time you're writing don't hesitate to proof read and correct typos

bigpicture001:
Bro you don't have a good camera on the phone...its all blur...what hapoened to the floor of where of those lying dead..? It doesn't look real...but I know the pix are real...cuz of seen the original one not this one you soooo adjusted the cam maybe for your personal "look good"

He's not even Nigerian

NextD18:
Shot in IBADAN?

Nna eh! Why do those people hate IGBOs this bad?

Imagine shooting an innocent guy because he's Igbo.

Ndi ofe mmanua gbakwara ajor wicked oo!
Nya, fa choro igbusisi ndi Igbo niile no na obodo fa?

Anya ukwu adirokwa mma oo!

RIP to the dead but this didn't even happen in Nigeria. It happened in Congo

Most of the hand sanitizers imported to Nigeria are homemade. Because they're not in a fancy place doesn't mean it's fake, hand sanitizer is not that difficult to make (YouTube). What I'll suggest is that the regulatory body which is NAFDAC should look deep into this and make sure they adhere to the standard. This innovative prevented the scarcity of hand sanitizers in the country as those pharmacys are inflating the prices (most people can't afford). You'll be shocked to know most Item we use here in Nigeria are made in someone's room in China
