Dino is cantankerous

Fragility6:
Nigeria as a country has had bad leaders but buhari is comfortably the worst to ever seat up there. Failed both as a military and more embarrassing failed as a civilian. Goat followers come and prove me wrong

I disagree, Jonathan was the worse, followed by Buhari.

Buhari's major problem is being Nepotistic and appointing corrupt men to work for him.
Jonathan did same

Thanks for your comment.

I have some things to say, but so I don't sound racists, I would not say it here in the open, maybe to your mail.

It's quite unfortunate how they treat Nigerians.

In 2017 precisely in July, I was denied AU visa (my application was submitted online and treated in SA)

The officer said I didn't provide evidence that I've attended a similar conference before in a comparable country. He denied me on 27th July, I reapplied on 31st July and sent a protest letter against for not considering previous visas and the fact that I was in Tokyo for same conference in 2015. He responded and said the Japanese Visa showed visit Visa, rather than business Visa, hence he assumed I went for tourism and not for conference.

Just image that kind of excuse.

After reapplication, same person granted the visa on 31/8/2017. I was able to travel to Australia and participated in the Sydney conference.

25 Nigerians applied, only 6 of us were issued Visas. Out of the 6, only 3 of us traveled cos the ticket cost was into the millions, because of closeness to travel date.

Now in 2019, we faced the same thing. About tell has applied, and only 3 so far, all others were denied.

Sometimes, I wonder what's happening. Is it that our image is so battered abroad that genuine applicants will have to suffer for the sins of microscopic stupid individuals who criminally violated visa rules?

It's very unfortunate to say the least

femijck:
I can only say congratz to those who got theirs. Nobody can guarantee the outcome of any visa.In all honesty I didn’t support the second application because it has a very little chance. U need to get it right the first time. If denied, give it sometimes and claim your circumstances have changed. But because of your seminar date fast approaching, this kind of advice isn’t for your group.

A Nigerian guy is legally married to a kiwi, he lives in Brazil and the lady lives in NZ, the lady and her mum had visited him.... she’s re-visited several times but still he’s been denied ordinary temporary entry visa upto 6x. Now the lady had relocated to live with him in Brazil, so he can reapply whenever he qualifies for a Residence visa. Why am I saying this? It’s just to show a lot have changed in the last couple of years. Never use to be this hard. But people have taken too much advantage of NZ relaxed immigration rules and the new government is trying to correct that.

Many issues going on with migration all over the world and NZ is not exceptional. Many Europeans migrants are also finding it difficult to get a permanent stay in NZ now. So they ain’t targeting any particular race. It’s just what it is for now.

Cheers

No country will value the lives of another country's citizens that is not valued by its own government. A neighbor will only be confident to beat your children if he sees you have no respect for them. It's a natural response and opportunity every oppressor seek for; a defenseless prey.

When Trump introduced the slogan 'America First', he resonated around the world that America will defend its interests and citizens anywhere in the world.

Richdad

Senseless talk.

An American was arrested in North Korea, tortured until he died.

Russia done same to UK citizens

UAE done that to many Nationals of developed countries that cater for their citizens better than Nigeria does.

Tell me how brutality in foreign land related to Government in these countries?

Oladeep:
can I apply twice since they already have my record on their system for renewal?

Reconcile with her, cos you can't apply twice if your first application has be captured into the system.

The NIS system is very secured and would detect multiple registration.

Reconcile with her, give her what she wants and learn not to deal with her again

Hello business travelers and other travel enthusiasts

One of the questions that comes to mind when it comes to taking long haul flights is which seat is the best in Economy and sometimes in business.

long-haul flights is defined as being longer than 2,200–2,600 nmi (4,100–4,800 km). Hence, our focus on this thread would on majorly international flights and not local flights within Nigeria.

Boeing and Airbus are world's largest aircrafts producers producing most commercial planes being used by major airlines, save for some private jets that are produced by Bombardier, Gulfstream, Cessna etc that are mostly regional flights.

Our focus is not limited to any route, meaning we discuss our travel experience
Within Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Dominican Republic, Fiji Islands, Americas etc

Also experiences should be shared from flying all major airlines like
Emirates
Qatar Airways
South Africa Airways
Ethiopian Airline
Ethiad Airways
Air Peace(International route only)
Medview (International route only)
Delta Airlines
American Airlines
ANA
Qantas
Air Newzealand
Singapore Airlines
Virgin Atlantic
KLM
Air France
Arik Air (International route only)

Feel free to share your experience, who knows? You might just be saving someone from stress by knowing how to plan well

femijck:
Economically Europe and Most Europeans countries are a bigger market but you might face Language barrier and other things faced by people of colour all around the world.

On the other hand, NZ is a smaller market, no major language barrier, unemployment rate is less than 5% so which means u will always get something to do while studying. Kiwis are generally welcoming no matter where u from. But as a student visa holder, u can only work 20hrs/ week.


Hope this is helpful

Oga, you didn't comment on my post for visa denial for a colleague the second time

Nafizzey:
Great guy can i watch Tstv on strong SRT 4954 decoder with dstv dish?

Yes, any Mpeg 4 or Strong HD decoder is cool for you

This is some great news for some of us who don't follow EPL

ulak:
Greetings to the elders of this forum, I have been following this post anonymously since December and it’s right time for me to apply for vv ahead my annual Christmas holiday between December/January.
I have all the necessary paperwork for the vv but patiently waiting for availability money in my bank statements to be up to 3m or more from my monthly income.
My only concern is the information below as written on the INZ website;
“Evidence that you are a genuine visitor”
Declined visa applications
If you have ever had a visa application declined by any other country, provide:
a copy of the letter from that country's immigration authority declining your application, or
if the original letter is not available, a letter explaining the reason your application was not successful.

Yes I have a copy of the declined visa application from Italy.

Then two successful visas and travel experience to UAE and Oman.

Is it advisable to attach the declined visa application as instructed and write something about that in my introduction letter or cover letter ?
Please I need good advice now to be able to get everything together and apply first week of September.

Thank you all in advance

Declined visas should be the least of your concern at the moment.

Get all relevant documents in place first and there's a portion that you'll fill in the online application that would cover for the declined visas

I am extremely very sad this morning. This is not nice at all

Good morning aunty.

They refused Yinka the second time.

You can see this is just wickedness. They repeated the same reasons, despite showing strong employment evidence, with his company writing two separate letters to prove his strong employment and how important he is to them.

He provided his real estate assets, car documents, statement of account, pension documents, his wife's details of employment, with federal government agency as a civil servant, his personal bank account, another fresh Statement of account of the sponsor, with over ₦100 million balance in last 6 months, showed his house rent and every other thing to respond to the two reasons of initial refusal.

This Chinese guy that handled his case still repeated everything they said in the first refusal that

1. He didn't demonstrate strong employment in Nigeria
2. He didn't show he has participated in similar conference before.
3. That's he didn't provide strong financial commitment

What else does these people want?

All these 3 things were said in first refusal letter and he reapplied, then showed stronger Evidences to prove strong employment, with the office written separate letters that he's a senior staff earning ₦8million per annum.

Will I just say I'm lucky or the officer that handled mine has the fear of God or what?

This guy refused another colleague's own too.

Dalung was well expended in the first term, no need to return

alphaconde:
I envy u. If not for shitte and herdmen and buhari Nigeria b de okay

Before Buhari was Nigeria ever ok?
Under Abacha, Abdulsam, OBJ, Yar Adua and Jonathan, was there 24 hours power supply or good roads?

ugsams:
What are you going to do in Fiji? Have you been there before? Do you know anyone there?

Honestly, Nigerians are trying in the name of exploration or Hustling.

We get liver pass astronauts sef

Magdagascariens:
I doubt if you need a visa, since you will not be checking in. You may stay at the arrivals, even for 24hrs.

You should talk to experienced travel agents around.

I am checking in again.

It's not same flight.

A different from from Lagos to Dubai

Another flight from Dubai to Auckland.

I wouldn't mind getting a Transit 48 hours Visa

[quote author=DameB post=80507397]The annoying thing is that this geh has so much pride and a nasty attitude.... For what reason :
She's not that intelligent, her English and diction is wack....
She's rude...
She's as fake as it gets....

But she'll make it to the final stage cos she has a lot of equally dumb people rooting for her[/quote] you're very correct

NwaAmaikpe:




Sometime in May, I received an email from a distant relative intimating me on her daughter's desire to marry a certain First Lieutenant in the Nigerian Army.

My stand was stated without mincing words.
I told her that it will serve our family better if she remained a spinster to the grave than marry even a Field Marshal in the Army.

Mama Talikwatu, if you are reading this,
Stories like this are the only reason for my stand.
No woman deserves the trauma of becoming an avoidable widow.

Ọgá, abeg say something else. Anyone can die at anytime from numerous causes.

What about those that lose their lives driving on the road, building collapse, or even plane crash, were they also Soldiers fighting against insurgency?

Use you head to think and not your emotions

Natoski5:
Tacha again!!! Nigerian and the love of yasch

They love rude ladies like they kept CeCe till the final last year.

That Tasha has a very disgusting attitude. She couldn't even hug any female talk less of a male, but passing instructions around that they should get her things.

Now she still got the highest votes ahead of Seyi that showed the truth character of Jesus and selflessness.

Youths have lost it in Nigeria completely.

Like someone said, can't BBNaija empower youths with that ₦60,000,000 prize in another like Toni Elumelu and Jim Ovia does?

If you're still in doubt that this guy is guilty and trying to hide something, you need to ha e a rethink.

This is what typical Nigerian 'bigmanism' is

1. Accuse them of doing a wrong thing like harassment or corruption,
2. They run to court to get injunction restraining police from arresting them
3. Run to the IGP to claim threat to life and act like they're the victim.

Number is what this guy did to the Dakolos yesterday. He ran to the police to claim threat to life, in order to turn the case on its head.

Nigeria will never move forward with the current t system we have

Pretty mike no well again kai lol

This is funny. It calls for weeping on his behalf by his people

MD of the following companies Ascon Oil, Heyden, Raven Oil, Forte Oil, Eterna, Petrocam, Conoil, Oando, Mobil are far far richer than this idiot, but would they do this?

BarristerAlarig:
Which kind notice me be all this??

he's an illiterate
Mike Adenuga, Dangote, Alakija, Femi Otedola are richer than this idiot, but will you see any of them do this?

That tells you the kind of mentality he has

justi4jesu:
Goodluck

Hello justi and anyone else who can provide this information

I'm traveling to Auckland (New Zealand) in September and thinking of going with Emirates but break the trip.

Direct booking from Lagos is

LOS-DXB-AKL and would cost ₦1,300,000

But if I break, this would be

LOS-DXB then DXB - LOS return ticket
DXB- AKL- DXB return ticket.
To break would cost total about ₦1,000,000

But my question is if I can arrive Dubai without obtaining Visa/clearing immigration just pick up my luggage and then connect from Dubai Airport straight to Auckland. Then once I'm done in Auckland, I'll then return to Dubai to join Dubai Lagos on the other ticket.

Kindly advise on how doable this is and how to scale through immigration.

Your prompt response would be appreciated

Thanks

chukwumexes:
Please how do I get this IPTV?

It's something you can get on your own.
Boxes are less than ₦10,000 depending on version. Connect to your TV and start enjoying

odilibe:
Verimatrix is not broken ..The use of hashmode in powervu makes it difficult for some receivers to decode channel even with valid keys since hashmode changes time to time you will need updated software.. most boxes won't give support for this update..


For Auto roll to work the receiver emulator needs valid EMM key in softcam.key file..to update ECM key. it seems like the provider emm key / auto roll keys has expired; end of the road @ the moment!

We're saying typically the same thing.

It's been end of the road for Strong decoders since 2018, as well as the early Sunplus decoders, to the extent that manually inputting keys failed to decode, until we changed to the Advanced boxes like Range T20, Tiger decoders, Hellobox etc with Auto roll capabilities.

But at the moment virtually all decoders have gone south, we're hoping that at least Tiger can offer an update to crack the system and hopefully Sunplus team as well. But as you said, which I kinda agree with, some manufacturers may not roll out software, meaning that's the end of the boxes in people's possession when it comes to AFN.

Qsat and Strong decoders are good examples of how manufacturers can fail to update boxes, leading to their end

mytime24:
I saw this post and showed it to my landlord, out of Joy he told me not to pay house rent for the rest of the year. I am so happy. thank you so much for sharing this post

Do you pay monthly or biannually?

Ashiruhabeeb:
My crush that year, she be my ancestor now

Which village?

tiwatenitomi:
They expect every delegates to returned back to the country but they failed to do that..... And that is why all the above previously mention documents always been requested by the embassy before it wasn't like that.

I wonder why some Nigerians are very foolish, will use their badluck to affect others. What Yorubas will call 'ofi oriburuku tí wọn kò bá ní'

When we went to Tokyo in 2015, the embassy emailed our host that they would not give Nigerians visas cos many do run away to become liabilities on tax payers money.

They gave at least 95% of us that applied and we all returned back to Nigeria, all 22 of us.

From then, I've toured all continents, sometimes with my wife and do return back to base.

I intend returning to Tokyo next year with my family for the Olympics. I just hope Nigerians wouldn't have messed up chances for other genuine people
