PASSPORT BOOKLET SCARCITY AT NIS HQ ABUJA.

The Minister Olubunmi Ojo is simply on a self showmanship mission.
As we write, NIS officers still claim NO PASSPORT BOOKLET at Abuja HQ.
The NIS officer says some officers have the booklet and he would find out from them and get back to me.
I suspect he might ask me to pay for their booklet to produce my passport.
This is their Abuja HQ.
My application has been on AWAITING PRODUCTION for 8 WEEKS!
So what’s Olubunmi Ojo saying about this.

They're playing games in my opinion. Report through the appropriate channel. I no longer have that number but I believe you can get it online.

viodemus:
Then he should work with them.

That is where misplaced priority sets in. So, the roads are not under the transport ministry?

Roads are under Ministry of Works.

Never because i know my loyal client
This one is just one of time waster and if you notice i didn't even insult him

If your experience over time shows that he's a time waster ( not evident from your post), you could just have ignored him. Sometimes, responses are not necessary.

Available for learning

Read through the posts without any bias. You'll learn some things. Get books to read on Sales and Marketing. If you can't take time out for formal study, read journals on management especially those relating to successful business owners and basic principles. It's not about degrees, it's about more knowledge, greater wisdom and enlightenment on how to manage your business for greater success.

You should learn to exercise great control on how you respond to other people's actions. Never respond to matters like this if you're angry or irritated. Think it through and do what can build relationships not destroy them. There are difficult people no doubt but this person hasn't done anything outrageous as per your post. Moreover, you could have followed up on your proposal too. That's how you know if he still has a plan or he has moved on. Still, he can refer you to others depending on his reason for backing out. Lack of funds for instance. In this case, you could have offered that he pay by instalments depending on your assessment.

We must learn a lesson in hard way

E pain Am

You need to learn more about marketing, communications and business management. This isn't the right way to deal with a customer even if he didn't patronise you.

You could have won him over for another deal with a better response.

That you're doing well doesn't mean you can't do better. Your millions can become trillions plus easier move towards greater stability and continuous growth.

joseph1832:
I believe an investigation should be carried out. Those who sold the land should be arrested and prosecuted. The drainage/land doesn't belong to them in first place, so selling something that doesn't belong to you, is stealing.

The property owners can sue those who sold to them since they're known to them.

naptu2:
Is this not complete lunacy?

Agungi in Lekki.

Wow! Of course there can't be any government approval for this. This is so unprofessional and disgraceful if the developers are indeed educated. Where's the water supposed to go? No wonder there's been heavy flooding in Lekki. Yet, we always blame LASG for inefficiency.

If there's no victim there's no crime.
Unless the raped victim out herself I don't see how this case can go anywhere.

If it happened in Lagos and the self proclaimed rapist is found, he'll be tried.

Reality2023:
Na wah o. I applied for passport since September and they gave me January 2024 date of collection

Make use of the complaints contact numbers of the Minister's aides as posted a while ago. Unfortunately I no longer have it but I'm aware that it worked for some people.

One of the reasons poor people remain in poverty...

Money that should have been properly invested to generate income from which they can buy new phones. I wonder why expensive phones are so important to those who can't conveniently afford it.

oliverwrites:
They were with me for midterm and will be back for Easter. I doubt I can have them for Christmas as I am not willing to force anything but my kids will always be in my life, I work hard and try my best to stay healthy for them so that posterity will be kind on me and I have zero intention of changing regardless.

I like your positive outlook and selflessness with regards to your kids. Buy what the children want and invest more for their future. They're too young for cash gifts. God bless you so much more.

Thankfully you were wise enough to get depression out of your mind. God will touch your wife's heart if she was truly wrong. I pray that you get the desires of your heart so you can live together again as one loving and happy family someday soon.

@OP
Continue working towards getting your papers. You'll find a suitable Nigerian lady in due course if you persist.

Bobloco:
Of course they are necessities
But at this point in time and with current realities especially as regards the judiciary it's purely a criminal state capture

Maybe....but when will it be the right time?

Bobloco:
To put it appropriately, Wike and Tinubu have criminally captured the entire judiciary system

Remember that the buildings and facilities will still be in place long after BAT and Wike have gone. They're necessities for the development of institutions and in this case the judiciary.

From the comments, it's obvious that most people only read the heading.

Anyway, kudos to Prof. Uche Amazigo Uche for making women proud and for not betraying the trust of TYD. Certainly, she'll ensure that the hospital project makes a huge impact on the community. God bless her and TYD for this worthwhile project.

Shame on the men who have taken funds from TYD without results.

ValarDoharis:
Is it not Tinubu thats in the federal and Lagos state govt? You can't deceive anybody but yourself. But know that Nigerians will remember you guys for defending this wickedness in SW Nigeria

Tinubu wasn't the President when the notices were issued last year. I have no reason to defend him or any other politician. All are the same to me. The important thing is that we should all learn to abide by set rules and the law.

BTW I once had to abandon land that I bought years ago somewhere in Lekki when there were doubts being raised even after verifying it. Just last week, I read in the news that the occupants are having issues with the government. Due diligence is key at all times. "Settlement" is a risk and often doesn't end well.

Annahh:
My dear it's not as easy as you think. How will they cope and recover their sold landed properties in the few years?

The reality is that those who do the processing themselves don't spend as much as those who go through agents. I know quite a number of people there and they didn't sell their landed properties to relocate. Having proper knowledge of the requirements and procedures is important.

I agree that it's more difficult for those who have nowhere to stay for the first few months. They need to have sufficient funds to live on till they have jobs that can pay their bills. Tax is quite heavy unfortunately so saving isn't easy.

Maybe...but there'll be other candidates to contest against. Anyone can win.

viodemus:
action in indeed, not talking in words alone.


Umahi, should have put all these energy in rail. If I were him, I would have started with rail, if I last as minister, then I would go to roads.


My logic would be, people will be paying for train, then the roads will decongest a little bit, then I can use the early railway use time, to start building the roads.

Rail is under the Transport Ministry.

ajepako:
Ok..

My two home towns are there

Epe ( father's side, Ogumodede)

Ikorodu , mother's side ( Ikorodu Oga, ilu ti ko si alaaru, lol)

Lagos Island : my place of birth ( known as well)

However, Shomolu/Bariga is not there oo

So, I will make myself the ' founder of shomolu- Bariga niyen oo

As e no get owner

Shomolu- Bariga axis is mainly occupied by Ijebu settlers. Those places used to be part of the old Western Region....up to Fadeyi/Mushin areas.

Lagos Territory started from Yaba/Surulere.

They should wind up the commission and hand it over to the private sector after an independent audit. Afterall, Baba Ijebu et al are making fantastic profits out of compulsive gamblers.

Gambling is ruining lives and it has a terrible impact on youth development, especially the poor ones who see it as a lifeline only to end up sinking deeper into poverty.

Manny21:
Nigeria has ten times potentials to do it but because it will not further their looting agenda, they will look the other way

Nigeria has been working on solar energy especially for rural electricity projects. I've seen a few commissioned ones in the news.

I don't understand why he's hanging on to power. His family should advise him if he's under some unimaginable force that is encouraging him to ruin himself. Health first above everything. We can be leaders only when the body and soul are fully in good shape. I'm wondering why his wife and doctors aren't helping him to do what's right for his own good.

If this is true, may this guy reap as he's sowing.

Why should the woman have to sell her father's house to support his other family? The height of oppression and wickedness. I pray that she finds help.

Yonce:
These foreign doctors were probably not trained or raised to face the rigourous and stressful ways Nigerian trained doctors are conditioned to write exams and pass them despite hardships of medical school.
They're probably not used to negative marking and unnecessary twisting of lexicon in the question to deliberately confuse you into failure.

When they sit for foreign exams like PLAB and USMLE, they'll usually ace them.
MDCN should probably look into itself as an exam body.

Well, if they want to work here, they should study in line with the requirements of MDCN same way they'll do for a foreign exam. Just like you have to pass the Nigerian Law School exams if you want to practice law in Nigeria. Our peculiarities differ so there's no basis of comparison. They have the option of the foreign exams too anyway.

Based on all I've read and the responses of those affected, most of the structures were built without genuine approvals. They paid omo onile and bribed scammers to acquire government land. Some were hoping that they would be allowed to "regularise" after building. Notices were given last year according to FHA. Some who had not built still went ahead. Anyone with genuine documents and approvals can sue the government.

Honestly, we need to learn to comply with our laws if we truly want a better society. We're the greatest critics of government when flooding occurs, yet we see nothing wrong in building on water channels.

The most annoying thing is the silly idea that a tribe is being targeted. Most reports I've read show a mix of tribes as respondents from Lekki and Festac.

May God grant them full restoration.

Aww! So proud of her. The real slay mama.

oluztx:
Another Yorubaa. The problem with Yorubaa people is they lack foresight when doing things, they think they are wise and strategic. Lord Luggard even said that they are so selfish to their own detriment. Tinuubu has been appointing mostly Yorubaas to all majors positions, he's doing this not knowing this is not Lagos. Northerners are watching, SE and SS are also watching. When the time comes, Northerners know whatever they do, SE and SS will not interfere. If Tinubuu was smart, he would have given SS more positions, even more than Yorubaa, because those will be your core support base. This what Asari Dokubo was trying to say in his last video, you need a strong support base to run this country, otherwise you won't last. GEJ had two strong support base in SS and SE. Buhari had core North as his support base which is big enough. Tinuubu now has only SW has his support, which is not enough if you are from the south, you need at least two, SW alone cannot help you. It's obvious SE can never support him even if he give them 200 billion because they vote on principle and stand by it, but SS he can buy. Just my advice to him.

It appears that there are more Northerners on the list. Somewhat lopsided.
Yes, there should be more SS people on the list but there are other oil related agencies. Probably they have more positions across board.

I think there are surgeries that can be undertaken to correct this anomaly. Besides that, there's no reason why he can't be loved by someone who sees beyond his physical self.

I pray that he finds true love.

Most qualified Nigerians have decent jobs there. What happens is that in the first year, some are unable to get jobs at the level they were back home because of the usual request gor Canadian experience. That cancels out in a few years in the worst scenario. By that time, guy is already a citizen.

I'm referring to those who migrated legitimately.

Ndimkpurummiri:
Ibos should choose between deportation or demolition in Lagos

Deportation to where when they're Nigerians?

Demolished buildings belonged to people from different parts of Nigeria including Yorubas. It's certainly not an attack on Igbos. It's all about sanitising the environment and stopping impunity. The flooding we experience often stems from issues arising from unplanned development.

Two immature people.....
