I told them that i am a blogger and also an actor/entertainer

is that suppose to be a recognised profession or something, why would anyone introduce himself as a blogger in Nigeria to Police?

histemple:
The letter was wrongly addressed. The ministry of Petroleum was in position to receive and respond to such requests, not the NNPC.

The initial request was made to Ibechukwu he referred them to NNPC and DPR

Some of these our so called experts are complicit...this dude is always on social media preaching openness and transparency..something as basic as this has been turned into a buck passing exercise....involving lawyers SAN who would obfuscate the populace with their jargon subsection this and paragraph that

Mamatukwas:
It's very clear thanks. Home office is not smiling... For legal residents they should've made it shorter nah... If your kids are born here then they can apply for citizenship after 5 years regardless of the status of the parents application. I'm just wondering coz I hear some people's ILR app is not immediately successful. The kids will then suffer too.. if you're illegal that one is worse

They don't want to be seen as being 'soft'. plus there are a lot of people abusing the system-some have made a killing with their benefit systems esp Eastern Europeans- Romania etc. it's all about balance; imagine Nigeria giving everyone an easy pass when unemployment, crime is skyrocketing

What is the point of wasting value resources in establishing a national carrier in the 21st century if we are just going to sell it off?. Just encourage the massive private sector to establish their own airlines. I said it before the average Nigerian will not enter a plane in his or her life, we need the little money we have to be spent on 24 hours light, not vanity projects that will be misused by the corrupt board of directors appointed that will give themselves and their families free tickets.


Nigerians should not encourage this wasteful venture, which will only benefit the elite.


I am a PROUD NIGERIAN and I believe our NIGERIAN entrepreneurs have a better chance of having the best airlines in the world rather than a useless government airline. (Afterall a few years ago a Nigerian businessman was at the head of a private consortium that bought and ran the second largest airport in the UK, Gatwick Airport - would any Nigerian government allow that in Nigeria?)

I will see it as an investment actually, job creating opportunities, Forex Inflow etc... Most airline now are run as partnership between a big established Airline hence passing on the experience to local management. There are many businesses and policy of government targeted at the elite that has great trickle down potential for everyone, the elites wont man the check-in desk, run the back end of the airline website, or handle luggages..these are all jobs that will be opened to everyone..

Rubbish!!!

We do not need a national carrier. National carrier are just pride symbols and white elephants that developing countries use to deceive themselves. Which progressive country has a state run national carrier?

Nigeria should provide drinking water, 24 hours light, good health care to everybody in Nigeria before providing an airline that less than 0.01% of people in Nigeria can ever afford to fly.

The richest, most peaceful and developed countries in the world do not have national carriers yet their people have 24 hours light and water and their airports are busier and cleaner than ours

A national carrier doesn't necessarily have to be owned 100% by the state...many developed countries have national carriers..that they eventually dispose of totally to private investors or invest in through pension/sovereign funds

I have been bored and lonely here in Manchester. The social life is missing. Social apps are not helping matters. Who's anywhere around Manchester pls? Hit me up once U read this

Try the colourful churches....

That happens in almost every UK city I've been too. You'll learn to ignore.
Another racist behaviour is people refusing to sit beside you on the bus or train.
Or when you stand up to give the space to an old person, and the person ignores you and prefers to stand

Anyway, I much prefer Glasgow to Murder Capital.

personally, I wouldn't class this as racism, as i don't know the reason why ...but i do this myself so i cant point fingers at other.
I sometimes prefer to stand even when there are seats available, space might be tight (the other person might be on the big side) or i want to make a call and don't want to inconvenience anyone...or could just be going a few stops..

boyjo:
Apart from these, what other stuff would you like review on?

Most cities have top ten must see/visit places or even restaurants/activities....so these are the types of reviews i was talking
But as she said she went partially for business so I understand it's not entirely possible

Just got back from 5 days in Barcelona but I doubt i can write extensively but loads of pics of main tourist sites

Very interesting...wish there's more touristy reviews and pics but seems shopping is the number 1 priority for most Nigerian tourist especially females


Lalasticlala

he probably had medical insurance, maybe the hospital returned the money to the FG with a note saying his medical insurance was enough to cover the bill....

All the same the bishop/cleric might just be ignorant, FG don't release money at the click of a finger...processes are involved

It's the economy...no part time jobs, no health insurance

She didnt reveal anything. She even blocked the guys name. Only to post her own name and picture

Smh

Hmm naija bloggers

I read this story yesterday. The dude is apparently from the Caribbean and not Nigeria

@sutelk

Estate agents must run checks and references before leasing out rents. 10days is almost impossible except perhaps you come across a landlord advertising in shop fronts or word of mouth. Depending on the city you're going to. Renting a room in an apartment/house could be easier

Just saw this recent article listing the Top 10 Nigerian restaurants in London.

http://metro.co.uk/2018/03/16/10-of-the-best-nigerian-restaurants-in-london-7372272/

How many have you been to? I've been to 805 Restaurant at Old Kent Road a few times.

Enish, 805, Obalende, K-Spice, Tasty, Lolake (many moons ago!)

I think construction companies in Nigeria should release illustrations or images of what the final structures would look like.. esp with a mini map so we know what the road layout will be like afterwards

@Autoreportng do you have the design plan or final image?

Went past this area in march, the place needs this terminus badly!! so congested

Nigerians need to learn some basic and advance first aid

even the ambulance driver could have administered some basic first aid to stop/reduce the bleeding

This egrissh sef...

The moderator sef join put am for front page like that....

Enish is around finchley. New branch

Any pictures of how it was when it was launched?

Not too bad for Lagos... but the buses looks battered and abused!!

Congratulations to her!

I personally prefer to be taught/lectured by someone with real industrial experience than..... i mean especially for business!

Impressive stuff nontheless

Wiseoldman:
Thanks for the hint, but i read on the Texas traffic website that valid internal ID is allowed for temporary visitor. However residents must go thtpugh the test. Have you had any experiences you can share.

Many Thanks.

Are you doubting what you read on the official website? You can use your license just make sure you arrange insurance with the car hire company or before driving

Jarus:

To add to what mr Lexusgs430 said... you can easily pick up a car....but as a jjc or newly qualified UK driver your insurance could be well over £3000 ....the bigger the engine the higher the premium....also depending on your location

Thanks Romeo for opening an interactive diary

Just want some tips to avoid major faux pas riding uber Lagos

From different uber threads- can you decline a ride just because it's not cash? My uber is linked to paypal/debit card. Thought this would be the most ideal method as there's less stress for the drivers faffing around looking for change

Do drivers get pick up and destination details when they accept a ride? I notice a lot of drivers saying they call to confirm destinations. Then cancel if they dont want to go that route. perhaps taxify?

What does a riders rating do to you as the boss, i notice you rate almost all your riders. Do you check a riders rating before accepting a ride?

Face cap?

But the burden of VAT charges is on the passenger not Airline Operators.Airlines are not saving anything but save all passengers the burden of VAT.

Basically they keep charging the passengers VAT but won't pay it to the FG

Nigerian business model 101!
