Cars are parked at owner's risk in most public places even though you paid parking fees.
No one wants to take liability. Hence, get comprehensive insurance |

rapthugx: Bros can you give a rough estimate of amount data to access the CCcam will consume in a month? Thanks. Lol. In fact, what's up consume more data than CCcam in a month. For entire month, less than 100mb. There's difference between SKS/IKS and IPTV. IPTV uses heavy data for you to stream videos or listen to music. SKS/IKS shares keys and not data for it to show video/audio. Most of this information are available online and even better explained than the highlight I've given here. |

SillyMods: So, that he won both means that he will win all their future contests?
The fact is, if Federer plays his A game, NOBODY in tennis can beat him even if they play their A game too. The problem with Federer nowadays is inconsistency with his games which is caused by age.
If Federer at almost 38 can be this competitive, it's disrespectful for anyone to write him off against any tennis player at this point. Are you sure you follow stats on men's tennis? Since 2015 to 2019 Roger had only beaten Djokovic once in 2015 group stage of ATP finals in London. For 4 years plus, Federer has been very abysmal vs Djokovic. Mind you, I'm his fan want GS 21 tomorrow, but as you said, a 38 year old man playing at that level, is really a legend, but can be very inconsistent as he has been since winning Australia open in 2018 in all GS since then |

garfield1: But why? Why is djokovic so hard to beat It's easy for the lower ranked players to beat Djokovic than Nadal or Federer. Djokovic took time to study his main rivals and knows too much about them. But a Thiem, a Zverev, can easily beat Novak coming in as underdog |

ucheuzor1: sorry to disappoint you but Novak is just too strong for him to beat. I'm a Rafa Nadal fan but Djokovic is just too strong for both of them. Djokovic is on another level, presently. On grass and hard court, non of Roger of Rafal is a match for Djokovic at the moment. If Federer wins on Sunday, it may be due to luck. Try watch the 2015 Wimbledon final and also US Open final of same year. It was Djokovic vs Federer in back to back finals, he won both |

femijck: Option 4 is the best ..... what I pointed out to u is the same option but replacing ‘Perth’ with ‘Hong kong’ ( if u don’t wanna apply for any transit visa) same SAA nothing changes.
SAA have two route to NZ..... one requires transit visa, one doesn’t. I’ve used the Honk kong route before and Honk kong Airport and Airline is one of the best I’ve experienced so far.
But expect to see upto 98% Asian on your flight from Honk kong if u choose that route.
Cheers Ok thanks. But I'm also considering the total hours in the air from instance. Because of my allergies, I can't do more than 11hours without Natural air. Lagos to JXB is 5:00hrs Jxb to Perth is 9hr: 30mins Pert to AKL is 5:30hrs Overall stop is 16hours in Jxb+ 7hours in Perth. We SAA, we tend to spend 24hours sitting in Airport browsing and watching TV. The last time we had very long stopover in JXB, we stayed in Aspire lounge in OR Tambo int'l airport. May God forgive me, those SA ladies are blessed with Big a**. 90% of those in that lounge are women and we paid $66 for the 18hours Had an encounter with one in the bathroom when I didn't understand how to get hot water and called for assistance.  Anyway, nothing happened but hmmmmmm. It is well, the devil can't use me. Moreso that they're still vexing for Nigeria, before they gas us us out  |

ugsams: Bro, according to what you posted this is what they said about Perth.
are you transiting through different terminals? If yes, then apply for a transit visa as fast as possible. In fact, I think it's safe to apply for a transit visa whether different terminals or not. Just in case of any irregularities. It should be easy for you since you were in Australia for the same conference few years ago. They will see some consistency in your travel history and shouldn't be difficult to get.
However, if the price difference with other airlines is not much just go for some other one that won't need to transit through Australia. Here's the cost of air ticket and options 1. Ethiad Lagos -Abu Dhabi- Auckland no need for transit Visa ₦1,400,000 2. Qatar airways Lagos -Doha- Auckland no need for transit ₦1,400,000 3. Emirates Airline Lagos- Dubai- Auckland, no need for transit ₦1,350,000 4. SAA Lagos- JXB- Perth- AKL may need transit ₦817,000 Considering I'm only going for conference and I'm not going to make any money in Auckland, which is the most reasonable option to take as a family who need to spend money on other important things apart from traveling? |

femijck: You are the man.... Thanks to you, that encouraged us to apply early. My experience I would share below. I've been getting PMs from Nairalanders and I always direct them to this thread so we can get it more interactive. My application was submitted on Tuesday 11th June, 2019. I was contacted by case officer on Wednesday 19th, June 2019 requesting for more information. Between 19th and 27th we were having back and forth exchanges o we the information required, but was able to scale through on 27th June, when officer said he's satisfied with the information I've provided. Next was making payment to VFS in Pretoria for Passport handling fees. Sent them Sterling bank debit card details, it failed Sent them Zenith Bank debit card details, it failed. Went to my bank to do Form M according to CBN rules, I was declined the usage. On Monday 1st July, 2019 I opened a dollar denominated Account and did international transfer. The money entered the VFS account on Wednesday, 3rd July, 2019. They sent my Passport to Immigration NZL embassy in Pretoria on Thursday 4th, July, 2019. By Friday, 5th July, 2019 My Visa was granted. That's how the journey has been. I sent passport via UPS, paid ₦14,500 Same UPS picked passport from SA at a cost of ₦18,000 Purpose of travel is to attend 11th ICVPME, in Auckland, this year. That's my story, for anyone interested in visiting NZL Thanks to Femi, Ugsam and others that we've been chatting on this thread since December, 2018 |

femijck: If u all traveling with Nigeria passport, I think u should be worried  I see. I will send an email to SAA ASAP for clarification, if not I can apply for transit Visa myself. I was given AU visa in 2017 and didn't violate their rules, so I think there would be no issue apply for Transit Visa. One of the benefits I enjoy is having my Visa come early and ample time to prepare |

femijck: Alright mate, Upto u what u decide......but if I were u, I will go for certainty than risking not being allowed to board on your travel date. The only non- transit visa required route I know of are Honk kong and Bangkok Thailand. I may be wrong, that's why we are sharing ideas. Kindly read the below to see if I may have interpreted wrongly Home

Just re-route I see, But I read somewhere that if we remain on airside and not stay beyond 8:00hours, we would not need a transit. I just check SA now, they said we're stopping over in Pert for 7hrs:15m Should we be worried? |

graphicicon: you should have reviewed the price of the main mytv subscription before putting this price, #2,500 per month, from mytv, I think it will be nice if you put it at the rate of #1,500 for 3 months, it will be a fair price, think about it dear. You need to understand that there is a difference between Per annum and Per Month. Per annum simply means after 365 days, Per month means after 30/31 days I said Per annum and didn't say Per month, please understand this. Secondly, from what I lifted from their site, http://www.mytvafrica.tv/Press.aspx?id=-1below are their advertised rates New Reduced Prices New, reduced My TV subscription prices as of June 14, 2017:
- NGN 1,450 for 3 months
- NGN 2,800 for 6 months
- NGN 5,400 for 12 months
1-month subscriptions have been suspended. To the analysis I made earlier. ₦1000 per month for CCcam means ₦12000 per annum but you tend to have both Mytv and TVsat Afrique with a sport channel to watch MLS, EFL, Dutch Eredivise and other sports using IKS ₦5400 per annum for legal subscription of mytv means you're restricted to what they have to offer, which exclude a sport channel to watch MLS, EFL, Dutch Eredivise and other sports using IKS. It's a matter of choice and opportunity cost for whosoever decides on option A or B |
