They're telling him we would not make the same mistake we made with Ambode by allowing him to pick political appointees.

Sanwo probably selected those 3 himself.

These are some of the reasons why 2023 would be tough cos they'll be waiting for the Lion to impose himself as the candidate

Maymai:
She's married (though separated from her husband) and has kids who will not accompany her. We would like for her to meet us there. We are sponsoring the whole thing and meeting her there with our kids. I read that for certain Dubai visas you can't apply if you travel alone. There's so much info, don't know what's what's real and fake

If we use Ethihad, we can save over $400 USD since my hubby's friend work with their parent company.

Thank you for providing the link

My Wife can travel alone and most of the 'runs girls' do travel alone.

Myself and my wife traveled in 2017 the hotel needed to be sure that we're actually married and she's not a girlfriend. Luckily, she's pregnant then and they saw the bump.

She can get visa alone and travel alone

Maymai:
Thank you

We are trying to establish travel history. So the passport will not contsin any visa, but she will receive an email visa that she has to present at airports in nigeria and uae?

Thank you. If I don't want to use Emirates, do I apply for the 30 day visit visa or the 14 day one. And she has to go live in person to the embassy in Abuja?

My first visit to UAE(Dubai) is through an agent. There are many of them that facilitate Electronic Visa for you on a paper. You present it to immigration officers in Nigeria and Airline to allow her board, them when you get to UAE, they'll stamp passport for entry. When departing, same thing.

The link I sent to, try to enquire if they can do it if the passenger can use another Airline and still get visa through them.

Engage them first.

I'm going to Auckland, but I'm flying Emirates from Lagos.

The flight cost is about ₦1,500,000 direct but I deliberately broke the ticket as Lagos DXB Lagos and then Dubai-Auckland-Dubai so save some ₦100s of thousands. Hence, Emirates airline would give me 48 hours transit visas, so I can exist the airport to go to Deira or Dubai Marina to shop.

Open the link and engage them first

My Seyi is safe.

I must vote for Frodd as Esther is already showing him love and consoling him

Pity votes for Frodd as Tacha just said so many demeaning things to him and he didn't react.

If I was in that house, id have slapped Tacha and got a strike.

Please stop this. Complacency kills.

As a Seyi fan, Seyi first please

Same mistake was made last week voting Cindy instead of Joe

Popular actor, Charles Okocha aka Igwe 2pac Has exposed what goes on at Nigerian Airports.

He exposed the begging attitude of Nigeria Airport staff.

Oby Ezekwesili once complained about the begging attitudes in Nigeria.

In the video the actor shared, an airport staff was seen begging him money..


Watch The Video .https://www.thenaijafame.com.ng/2019/08/charles-okocha-shows-what-happens-at.html?m=1

Immigration officers no dey shame again.
What I do is to just strong face pa, as if I can't speak English.

When they're searching your luggage for cocaine or contraband and found nothing not worthy, they still say Ọgá anything for us?

As if that's not enough, when you're going to the boarding gate at the Lagos international airport, there's one hall that they stamp your passport for departure, those ones too will beg, ọgá we're hungry ooo.

Just as you're about to board the plane, those guys that do final check for the Airline close to the plane's door would still beg.

When I'm in good mood, I keep ₦100 notes well, I'll just be dashing ₦100 so Dem no go swear for me for plane to crash

People can beg.......

Maymai:
SA as in South Africa? Yes. We want to do UAE this year and then SA or maybe Kenya early next year.

If Singapore is easy, might try that as well

I was hoping to apply the normal way and not use Emirates or Wakanow. Still hoping she can be approved for UAE Visa without Emirates as using Ethihad would be more cost efficient for us since my hubby's friend can get us discounts with them.

Will explore the UAE Visa via Emirates vs applying on our own for it.

Thank you

It's practically same thing.

Check the prices.

I'll send you a link for Emirates shortly...
I applied through them. Mine is a Transit and I'm paying ₦3800

Maymai:
This is true. Seems they will guarantee the visa for the right pricd

Will be worth it if it can help to establish my in law's travel history

Thank you

It's good. and you can also try Simgapore after UAE.

We are going for a conference in Auckland, but some of my colleagues were denied Visa on virgin passports.

If they had even been to SA or UAE, it would have been better.

If she can do both countries within the next 6 months, getting UK, US and Canada may not be difficult

charlesELIKIBA:
bro give those boys on the weighing scale 2k and enjoy your flight

Chai, how i wish Oyinbo can be bribed. My Emirates flight to Auckland is restricted to 25Kg and you can't bribe Oyinbo

Maymai:
I just checked and the price used to be 47k but has now been reduced to 38k. Thank you.

Will study the requirements and check for prices

One of the reasons you should pick Emirates is because they are the only airline that flies directly to Dubai without Stopover in any other country. It is also safe but may be expensive.

You can also apply for 14days Visa if you have a zenith bank account with access to online details

Yawn

Mynd44:
The question is simple, should we go down to the level of freedom they have in China too? Ban twitter, van Facebook and have one party? You should think things thought before pressing send

I have been trading with Chinese companies for a long time and I was opportuned to visit HongKong in 2015( A state controlled by China) They are doing very well more than Nigeria. The recent protests is due to overbearing and not because of twitter or Facebook issue, but politics.
China took away Whatsapp and gave them WeChat.

Pacesetter123:
I av bin following ur conversation with Mynn44 very well.De guy is not arguing dat NBC or weda NCC is not de regulator of any broadcast content,nor lack de power to sanction any erring media outfit.But dat dey cannot be banned/punish because dey have not erred.Which is simply de position of de NCAC man.When de president of NCWS complaint of live sex on stage as de main sin of bb9ja dat should warrant de ban we r talking abt here,de NCAC man reply dat dere are no laws to back up de ban based on nudity show of bb9ja...and dat u cannot fight dis battle without any legal framework.Hence,de nid to revisit a bill proposed by one time chairperson,Senate committee on women n youth,Mrs Eme Uffot Ekaette.This means de bill was neither passed by de Senate nor assented to by de president.So it's not a law.It is on dis ground dat I agree with Mynn44 dat dey av not violated any law because dere was no law against dat in de first place.My good book tells me dat wer dere in no law,dere is no sin.
De above is my personal opinion tho, based on wot Runsewe said.But if am not understanding or applying his statement on ' u cannot fight a battle with no legal framework n de need to revisit Ekaette's proposed bill' well,den u can tro more light on his statement.Am here to learn.

Thanks for commenting.

let me clarify something.

NBC is the regulator and knows the limit for all broadcasters. As i posited earlier, the first edition of BBA in 2004 was terrible. They were having live sex. Then it was called MNET and they put cameras in the bathroom that they show shower hour in the morning and nights. The senate then under Ken Nnamani( I hope i got the name correctly) made out cry and NBC stepped and forced MNET SA to limit cameras to scenes that doesn't show shower hour anymore.

In order not to lose money and to satisfy sexual perverts, MNET launched the online platform that are to be subscribed to called BBA VIP. all the nede scenes are sent there daily and was no longer aired on live TV up to 2014 that they stopped BBA.

If you can recall, that since the return of BBN in 2017, they dont have cameras in the bathroom anymore due to strict conditions in the industry they operate in.

In this case, FG went to report to the regulator, just same way you can report MTN to NCC. NBC would now check operational guidelines to see if there is any infraction. If there is infraction, NBC would write DSTV Nigeria to stop showing those images of Gedoni and Khaffi, or Mercy and Ike when they want to act naughty. If DSTV then fails to comply, they can be sanctioned accordingly.

If you watch Africa Magic, do you know that they censor most of the movies they show us? Especially AM yoruba. When the actors are cursing, they mute their voices, also when translating, the block words like 'God and Jesus' despite showing rate 16 or 18.

Why are they doing that, after all the programme is rated 18, why censoring? This is Nigeria and the regulator is NBC that told them any channel you want to broadcast within our space, you must only do XYZ and not ABC.

On the other issue, they are not related.

It is also expected that the NCAC will represent the 2008 Nudity Bill titled ‘A Bill for an Act to punish and prohibit nudity, sexual intimidation and other-related offences in Nigeria,' sponsored by the former chairperson, Senate Committee on Women and Youth, Eme Ekaette.

This has more to do with what Tekno was caught doing and all our oloshos that stay in Allen and Surulere, wearing terrible body revealing clothes and not TV shows.

NBC is for contents on radio and TV and not necessarily affected by this bill.

One of the guidelines in broadcasting is to warn viewers before showing graphic contents and there are some images that broadcasters can be sanctioned for if they show.

Nice, I would comment in full on this subject

This kind of news early in the morning

zeromeridian:
Igbere TV has joined league of Lagos Ibadan express news

It has never been a source of credible news before. He's known to plagiarize known news agencies and add 'Igbere tv reports'

slickbak:
Tell the ITK. He obviously wasn't watching dstv when the Senate made sure all the pornography and playboy channel were stopped.

Myndd44 is my friend and I know he's just trying to be mischievious, knwoing fully well that DSTV Nigeria is registred with CAC and subject to all laws in the country they're operating.

The first Edition of BBA was staged in 2004 when OBJ was the president. Nigeria was represented by Bayo. There was an outcry in the Senate that people were having live sex, which is try. The first edition was not censored at all. The Senate then was brutal and DSTV SA had to adjust and stopped showing nude scenes and shower hour, just to comply with the query they were issued. From them, they now require people to subscribe for BBA VIP, where they are allowed access to nude contents by paying extra. They did this till the last edition of the show in 2014 that featured Tayo Faniran.

I am trying to educate him that NBC can indeed sanction any broadcaster operating in Nigeria, whether on DTT or satellite platform.

Myndd44, I've known you since 2011 before you became a mod in the Religion section and by your antecdedent, you seldom argue pointlessly. Dont ask me more, cos I wouldn't reveal too much about those days, since I abandoned the old handle due to password loss

Mynd44:
1. NBC is the regulator, the show has been reported like 5 tines already and what has been the outcome?

That's why I want you to learn. They may Have reported like 200 times and nothing may have been done. This topic says FG just made complaints about it to NBC. Just calm down and wait for the Outcome. How many times have members complained about you of being unfair to them or called you a Yoruba bigot? (mind, I am Yoruba too) Many times. But Seun is yet to axe you cause he may have found you not to have erred or may he did and chose not to act

Mynd44:
2. How is this even relevant apart from helping you throw a tantrum?

It is relevant cause you're attempting to be deliberately mischievous.

Mynd44:
3. Go to 1

4. Go to 3

I'll take this that you don't have answers.

Mynd44:
The NBC cannot function the show because it has not broken any broadcast code. Is that too difficult to decipher?

Let the NBC conclude the investigation. If after investigation the show is found to not have erred, so be it. Coza Pastor has been accused of Rape. It's an allegation until a proper court of law declares him guilty.

You can't claim they have not or have, except if you want to claim you know all the NBC laws.

If you do, them I'm willing to learn from you about the NBC laws

Mynd44:
Actually, they have not err according to the broadcast code which is why year after year, you people come amd shout and the show is still up there. Even the senate screamed last year but guess what? The show is still there.

It is cable TV meaning the consumer pay to see it and it is appropriately rated.

Go watch Emmanuel TV if you are so pissed

Stop exhibiting ignorance on this subject.

1. You are not the one to decide if they have erred or not, that's why NBC is the regulator
2. You are a moderator here and Seun gave you the power to sanction, which i'm sure you're very happy to use and have used many times, same way NBC is empowered by Section 1 of the National Broadcasting Commission Act, Cap. NII, laws of the Federation, 2004 and vested with the responsibilities of, amongst other things, regulating and controlling the broadcasting Industry in Nigeria.
3. That consumer pay for the service doesn't mean the regulator can not sanction the service provider.
4. We pay MTN heavily for Data and airtime top up, but when they're found guilty, they were sanctioned appropriately.

For the umpteenth time, whether cable or terrestrial, whether Paytv or FTA, the broadcast organization of any country can ban and sanction any service provider in that industry.

Just to correct anther erroneous notion that you have( you've exhibited a handful already) I want BBNaija. Hence, I am not pissed by the show. In fact i'm rooting for Seyi. I hope you can correct your erroneous position, which is what i'm trying to educate you on and not whether the show is good bad.

It's about the topic whether NBC can sanction Cable Tv operators or not

oyatz:
That Elliot-2 guy is a terrible tribal bigot. He spreads propaganda everywhere.

I am ready for him.

he's been spewing trash since.

Below are some of the lies he told

1. That MKO Abiola was violent
2. That Ken Saro WIwa was violent
3. That Omoyele Sowore was also Violent
4. That a certain Oba told Yorubas to attack Igbos violently, in order to stop them from voting

He's a kid spewing trash since, but haven't provided one single evidence to back up his claim.

Mynd44:
Yen yen.

The show has not broken any broadcast code. It is cable TV with required ratings.

The government should focus on upgrading NTA

Study the NBC laws. They have jurisdiction over cable.
They can sack DSTV, GOTV and even Star times if they err.

The Commission's responsibilities include advising the federal government, on the implementation of the National Mass Communication Policy, with particular reference to broadcasting, as well as licensing Cable, DTH, and all terrestrial radio and television services.

Just to clarify that part for you. If they err, they can be sacked at any time

Mynd44:
I actually dont like the Big Brother show sef cos i find it boring but

1. It is called cable TV for a reason. Your regular censorship won't work.

2. Your new BBN that "seeks to promote Nigerian culture" will be a massive failure and look like something produced by NTA because it is not original, it will be a cheap immigration with less than 10% viewership and even much less in interest.

3. Stealing money is also not part of your culture but here we are.

4. Runsewe should be more busy promoting festivals like Osun, Ojude Oba, Calabar festival, New Yam festival, Argungun festival and the likes not worrying his head about a TV show.

5. Live sex scenes are affecting her sensibilities and for some reason, she didn't flip the station to the boring African Magic Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa?

6. The show is rated. If any child is watching it, it is more of the fault of the parent that that of the child or the show itself.

It would work

Read about broadcasting. Even if it is cable, DSTV Nigeria is registered as a Limited Liability and subject to the laws of broadcasting.

They can restrict the broadcast from being viewed in Nigeria.

In UAE, some sites are blocked from being accessed within the country, likewise some channels are also blocked from being viewed even on cable in some countries.

Just study broadcasting code well and also about satellite TV.

GOTV is operating on DTT and can be restricted.

Elliot2:
Lol. If you would have the patience to go through my mentions,you would find something interesting. That day,I was typing from my hideout when assassins stormed my house with guns. Why? Because in my own little way to improve the living condition of people in my state,I asked for accountability from my leaders for all the monies they get from allocation. The powers that be got angry with me and therefore sort to finish me. I never used any violence but my phone I used in typing.
In another twist, I have used my non violent protest to see that all tertiary students from my community get a bursary from the oil companies, and our chief saw reasons with me and made it happen.
Bottom line is, whatever means that could be used to see to accountability from leaders is good,provide the which one is effective with them. It is the people's right to enjoy their common patrimony.

You claimed the Oba in Yoruba land ordered that the Igbos should be violently attacked and be disenfranchised.

I've asked you to provide evidence of when the Oba said so.

You're still looking for the evidence.

Why did you have to lie?

Can you please provide the link to where the Oba instructed that Igbos be attacked violently?

You've lied that MKO Abiola, Ken Saro Wiwa and Omoyele Sowore were violent, can you provide evidence?

Elliot2:
But you heed to the call of one of your obas to disenfranchise Igbo's by attacking them violently in their polling units.

Can you name the Oba that ordered this claim you made?

Elliot2:
Very ridiculous question! Violence helped keep Nigeria one in 1970,was that not a good thing? Kanu's approach failed by criminalising his right to self determination which your country accepts as an inalienable right in the UN charter?

You need to learn.

Was there war in Nigeria in 1966?

Who used violence in 1967 to attack Nigeria?

Did he succeed in his attempt to force Biafra?

3 questions for you

Elliot2:
Violence helped keep Nigeria one. Is that not a good thing? Will you not conscribe into the force peradventure what happened in the past happens?

No.

I believe you are a millenial, reason you're spewing these things.

Nigeria was one as at 1966.

Ojukwu wanted to split the country using violence, and he failed.

One man took arms against his nation and was defeated in his own game

stayreal:
You believe sending letters to money hungry corrupt politicians will help people in the mad house called Nigeria? You are mentally ill.

Mumu, what are you waiting for? Today is Monday, why can't you take up arms and go to Aso Rock to demand Buhari resign from office?

jaybeez:
Foolish goat. Placing money on head of any elected goverment official is a crime anywhere in the world. That, in the court of law, can also be classed as terrorism or promoting terrorist act. The fact that you are abroad does not give you immunity over international laws of terrosist act. Because you are even a treat by so doing to the present country you are currently hiding and from where you are ordering out your "hits" on elected goverment official in your home country, which is a big CRIME!

And also, this goverment that we are all blaming for all the mismanagement of things but we are forgetting that they were all once normal citizens of the same country, some genuinely wanted the best and to help but they get elected and become thieves? or they already had a thiefing spirit in them before goverment position came?

You, Mr Kanu has spoilt all show for yourself and the small voice you thought you have by putting a bounty of goverment officials. You are not a leader, you can not and never be the voice for the oppressed south east and the Ibo's. You have zero capacity and charisma like the great Ojukwu.

You are a fraud and a chicken.

A certain Igbo boy on this thread has been justifying the action and claiming violence is the best.

I've asked him to show me how violence has helo them since 1967. He's discombobulated and still looking for evidence

Elliot2:
It is not difficult to understand that call even though it was made in the year Jesus was born,has changed the way thing are done as regards to the igbos exercising their franchise. We all saw the videos here.

Stop acting childish.
You said a Yoruba Oba ordered that the Igbos should be violently attacked and disenfranchised.

Can you name that Oba that emphatically called for the Igbos to be violently attacked?

Or you just made it up out of your imagination?

Be a man and show me that Oba that ordered violence against igbo
