TravelRe: FRSC Arrests Mary Ikoku For Using Google Maps In Abuja by davodyguy: 6:19am On Dec 04, 2019
This is very not nice.

Does the FRSC not use same Google technology to track their vehicular operations?

It's a normal Standard for navigational equipment being used in automobiles.

The navigation helps you find your way to your destination and no crime in using it.

Lagos debt is around $1bn usd , Dubai is about $500bn
Here's the difference.

90% of the Lagos debt are stolen by politicians under the dictates of one man in Ikoyi, while Dubai's debt is spent on infrastructures that you can see, touch and feel

Hi ...am sorry, my question might seems childish.
Am currently in my final year and I plan to get a scholarship to go for my masters abroad. Somebody told me that getting international passport is the first step. Is the person right?
If yes , how do I go about getting one? I mean the pre requisites and requirements,location and cost.
Thanks... please bear with me
Walk up to any immigration office in your state of residence and apply for an international passport. But first visit the immigration Nigeria's website

Point 2: the purpose of stay was not provided.
Do you plan on reapplying?

As I do advise a lot of people, immigration officers are like HR Managers who don't know visa applicants and would require as much information they can get.

Australia and NZL visas are some of the most difficult visas to obtain.

In 2017 over 25 of us applied, they gave about 5 of us AU visa.

In June, 2019 About 10 of us applied, 6 were denied on first trial, but I was given with 3 others. 4 out of the initial 6 were also given on second application. We loaded their reapplications with more information

The only reason I can think of was overloading them with information, thanks to Femijck, a Nairalander. The guy is based in Auckland and was just giving advice as and when due.

I loaded the Immigration officer documents so tey, hmm no be small thing.

They just want to be sure you're not going to become liability by choosing not to return

Great.

I've always done that and would continue to.

There are lots of reasons to:
1. Visa can get denied
2. You might find either a cheaper hotel days after or even find finer/more beautiful options

My coming travels, I still have till sometime next week to still cancel all bookings without being charged

TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by davodyguy:

Lol.

Short Story:

So in February 2019, I got a pay later option hotel in Paris with my Debit card. I had limited funds on that card though it’s stated the card is just to guarantee booking. I was so happy reading this until I submitted my application and 4 Days after submission first email: the hotel has tried to process your credit card details: insufficient funds next email was the hotel cancellation. I called the hotel immediately and asked why my reservation was cancelled. Rude reply was no funds on the card then I said but the booking said pay later. He rudely said we didn’t instruct any 3rd party to issue such privileges.

I immediately funded the card to keep the reservation but it was too late. Next day : your processed visa application email from VFS .

Read what’s on the site but call the hotel to ensure they have such an agreement with the said 3rd party.
Was your visa denied?

Some Nigerian banks (due to risk of stolen cards) actually prevent online payment via cards. Zenith Bank does. They require second authorization before they debit for hotels in some countries

If you use the filter as I posited above, you can always find a couple of hotels or apartments that are free of charge even on Airbnb.

Before settling for one hotel in Istanbul a couple of days ago, I reserved 4 different hotels with Pay later option. I only cancelled more than 2 weeks after our choices have been made

See below quote. The hotel practically 'begged' that I cancel 1 out of two

Hi
You have 2 bookings on the same dates for your upcoming trip from Sat 21 Dec to Tue 24 Dec. Please cancel any you don't need, so our properties can plan ahead - and you can save money!
see the terms below

Prepayment
You will be charged a prepayment of the total price of the reservation in the 7 days before arrival.

Cancellation cost
until 13 December 2019 23:59 [Istanbul]: € 0

from 14 December 2019 00:00 [Istanbul]: € 117.45
Today being 2/12/2019, I could have waited till 13th December and still cancel for free and no prepayment made or card charged
Same for Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam hotel reservations

OmoBendel24:
Why speak with so much authority? Well, my experience these past few weeks is what I just put up here. It’s not compulsory you believe. Just first make the mistake of submitting an application to these embassies with any of these bookings done with unfunded cards, and then they go on to cancel it, you will then understand what the time says, if you like, use all the filters you can think of, you will understand at some point. Hope you know they mostly have it as part of your booking conditions that they can try to access the money in your card at any point in time, and that this point can be after you have submitted your application?

I just got refunded one of my reservation’s money on Friday after it was withheld for over two weeks, the others - some up to three weeks - are still being withheld, including the one I’ve cancelled by myself. I however know that I will be refunded most definitely. And I think I’m much more comfortable with this their approach, instead of them canceling my reservation out midway into my visa application’s submission.

LESSON: Dud and unfunded cards as at today will sure get applicants into trouble per their hotel bookings if not extra careful.
Oga, I have been traveling for more than 3 decades, but I can help educate you by sharing some threads on some of the countries that I have visited

https://www.nairaland.com/4001717/8-things-need-know-new/28#82015296

This year alone, I have visited 4 different countries and in the next couple of days, I'll spend 4 days in Istanbul, Turkey and another 10 days in many of the 26 Schengen countries. Invariably, I have booked Hotels in 10 countries this year 2019 alone in different parts of the world(excluding Africa) and all the bookings I made are of free cancellation without losing N1.

Experience matters. Don't just argue based on your limited experience, as you're not talking to a fresher. Some people call me 'Ajala the traveler on Nairaland'
There are ways I do it, that I don't pay 1 kobo in booking hotels in any part of the world using booking.com, hotel.com and Airbnb

Mostly a night's money has to be withheld, whether you pick the no prepayment option or not, noticed this with the UK and France hotels already in the past few weeks.
Not true

There are over 100 filters on Booking.com and Hotel.com

Just select Hotel with free cancellation.
