You have issues with Tinubu and you blocked Dangote from selling Cement. Is there any sense in this?

Supreme court judgement is final. No way to appeal.

Why will they attack a private man's business just to press home their grievances. This is what scare away investors from some communities.
A lot of idiots are blaming wrong people when they do not understand anything

This is misplaced priority. You have issues with INEC, they block a private facility that has nothing to do with Govt

I am doing it for someone, the documents are plenty.

Let's just do the three documents

1. Document checklist
2. Visa Application confirmation page.
3. Cover letter.


Categories are
1. Proof of application
2. Life events
3. Others
I struggle to understand this but
1. Proof of application (Visa application form should be uploaded here)

Cover letter. (can come under proof of finance, proof of application)

Well, I have never explained income. When I checked the requirement, it says prove that they have sufficient money and no duration was stated, so I decided to stick to 1 month statement. Most of the inflow and outcome was like usual spending or I sent money to them. No bulk money entered. Statement was always printed after the money was deposited.

My invitation letter states where I work and the purpose of their visit:

Documents:
1. Our acct statement, all three of us. I always state that my dad is the sponsor. My mum has small change to buy gifts for the kids. I have money should they need support
2 My work ID
3 My council tax or tenancy agreement ( proof of accommodation)
4 Their CAC (Business registration)
5 Invitation Letter
6. My BRP (Proof of my status)
7 My Birth Certificate (Proof of relationship)

This is my third application. One thing I have done is consistency, what I claimed they earned annually, I bumped it a bit for the next application. I also make sure all details I filled tallied with that of the previous one.
You didn't really answer his question.

We've seen people get denied visas even though they have 20 million in their accounts.


Your parents are not first time travellers. Hence, their previous records worked in their favour.

There's no way they would not have asked for the origin of the ₦11m in your dad's account and that of your mum.

Because people deposit money into accounts before applying, they now ask where they got the money from, to the extent they trace all in flows.

If you work with Zenith bank, they expect to see Zenith bank transfer to your account with description March Salary.

That's the question the person is asking

@davodyguy thank you very much..like how much do you think will be okay for a family of 4?..for tickets, feeding and accommodation for like 10 days?..sorry for my many questions.
Ticket will cost can between ₦5m-₦7m depending on Airline

Hotel that can accommodate 4 people can be about €100 per night (convert to Naira) or more

Feeding for 10 nights is €100 per day


You'll spend up to ₦10m or more depending on how you can manage.

So your sponsor account balance should be 1.5 times total cost

Alternatively, if your husband doesn't have that much, you can co sponsor .

Just make sure you have more than what it will cost

Hello Everyone..We want to go on a family trip to Paris this October and would be applying around june/july.. But my issue is this (if it is actually an issue)- I am a Director in one of my Husband's companies and I have been earning a monthly income from the business since we started about 5 years ago..However, I own 20% shares in the company..Do you guys think I can use this in my application?..I have the CAC documents, tax clearance certificate and any other company document that I may need to present but my question is do I stand a chance? I ask because someone said they might feel the shares is too small.
I earn 450k monthly plus other allowances depending on the month and sales. I currently have almost 4m in my account and Hubby is going to be the sole sponsor on the trip.

Please note: we all have valid Canadian visas.
@hunee @davodyguy and other experienced gurus here, pls i need your input..thank you.
Stop panicking.

This is not UK

Put all the documents you have together, do a cover letter and come back here to share visa approval.

You don't need to even mention anything about shares

All documents to prove home ties, all documents to show you own company or co-own, tax, CAC, statement of account that will be enough to buy ticket for all of you, please hotel and feeding

That makes the heart sick
That's why it's advisable to apply months before travel date.

I went to New Zealand precisely 1st September, 2019

I applied for Visa in June, 2019 and was granted on 5th July, 2019

Apply early

Anything can happen

I think if travel date passes for frequent travelers, they usually grant the visas
.Not necessarily for frequent travellers. They do that for first timers as well.

Once you exit France, make sure to keep the evidence.

Then when you return to Nigeria, show up with explanation

There's Condition on the visa they issue if you found something like that when you received your passport if you don't show up they will Tag you no EU embassy you go they Will see the Red Flag. Ire ooo Kosi Idamu bi Emi ti se niyen oo Oodua Agbewa oo
Which one be Yoruba na?

What of those that can't speak Yorùbá? Ejowo óo

Anyway, there's someone here that was denied Italy Visa just because he didn't show up at the embassy after he returned back to Nigeria.

You're very correct.

Once that caveat is there, make sure you come back to the TLS or Embassy upon your return

BusinessRe: Green Africa Halts Flights Amid Aircraft Lessor Dispute by davodyguy: 2:36pm On Apr 01, 2025
nedekid:
Hello sir, my point is that a 20 year old aircraft is not old. That same air peace aircraft may be bought by an airline in America, europe, Asia or where ever, you will then fly in it thinking it is a recent aircraft.
I have not flow on air peace for international flight as personally I prefer qatar airways/ star alliance as I have built up loyalty miles. If I will fly direct without transit then I will use BA(star alliance) .
Air peace from complaints I have seen on YouTube is that their inflight entertainment does not work. Of course that needs to be fixed along with necessary renovations on the aircraft. Likely that will be done once the aeroplane is due for D check. It might not be economical to pull the aircraft form operations just to sort out superficial issues, scheduled DC maintenance with sort that.
Yes air peace has major issues with their domestic operation as I have experienced. The major one is cancellation or flight delays, Infact because of that I stopped using airpeace instead chose United Nigeria Air. Before I will use air peace locally, it means no other option. I know how may times I had to plead with hotels to give me extended checkout time all because of rescheduled AP flight.
In surmarry, their 777 is not an old aircraft as that plane is the backbone of most international airlines, yes the interior tells normal wear and tear which scheduled work will fix.
Fair enough.

If you've flown with the London route and judging by the taste you must have enjoyed from Qatar (if actually true) you definitely not try Air Peace.

The screen actual is that of a 2005 system that doesn't allow you to charge your device. Can you see how terrible that is?

The interior is still the same fabrics used by Singapore Airlines.

Staff are rude.

What they did to me is even worse. We had booked seat already for my trip, these guys changed it and assigned a family of 3 to different seats. I called and they admitted they did it.

They said I should get to the airport on time, tip someone and see how to they reassign by original seats.

This is my conversation with them on 28th March, 2025, not story of 1930.

All they should do is to send the aircraft to Boeing for thorough overhaul.

The interior will give you vibe of an old aircraft using a screen of 2005 before usb cable became popular.

When we say old in this context, it's their interior that older than the exterior.

All the airlines you compared them with have cleaner interiors.

I've flown to 15 countries. Not making mouth, when you read my posts here on the various threads of different countries on this same Nairaland, you'll see how much of a traveller I am and have seen better aircrafts

I was in Auckland, New Zealand awhile back and Emirates took us on A380

Turkish Airlines will take us on A330
Ethiopian Airline will take us on A350, same as South African Airways
Qatar will us B787 dreamliner

I know what I am saying about how old their aircraft is based on aesthetics and I stand by it

I had a long phone chat with an old friend of mine who I previously had a public falling out with. We agreed to disagree about religion and family life, and promised each other not to allow our differences of opinion to be a stumbling block to our friendship anymore.

We also committed to doing business together. I will buy a beautiful duplex from his company and consult them when I need to travel. He will buy 7.5% of Nairaland at a very attractive valuation and become a director of our company so that we can benefit from his vast experience.

It feels so good to be on good terms again! I urge you to follow our example if you're currently not on good terms with any old friend.

They're the 4th Airline using this particular B777-300

It's old fashioned interior that needed upgrade before being deployed. Of course it's Nigeria, let everything go, no one can do us anything.

The interior is super terrible, with dirty seats. Yes, I say dirty seats. I have boarded same 777-300 last year and unfortunately, boarding it again in few days this month of April, 2025
