Choose lost or stolen.

Asaba na country



BTW, wetin do Mongolia?
That country no too bad nah...
Save for the extreme cold, language barrier and dearth of internationalization (non-inclusive culture to foreigners) I don't think the country qualifies as "worst" in the context of this post.

Plus, if you're a man, the damsels of Mongolia are enough incentive...

Yes, ladies in Mongolia and Vietnam are beautiful.

[b]Those PNG looks somehow. They looks different to me. [/b]They do scared me whenever I watch anything about them. What's happening in Togo.

Papua New Guineans exhibit diverse physical appearances due to a complex history of migration, interbreeding, and isolation.

We have been saying Israel is overrated. They said we were terrorist sympathizers.

Till now Israel can't lift a hand without the support of the US.

Iran has struggled to respond effectively after Israel killed many of its top military commanders. In conventional military terms it is clear that Iran is under extreme pressure. Israel has been able to achieve superiority over Iran’s skies at extraordinary speed, within hours of launching its surprise assault. Israel has knocked out 120 Iranian air defence systems through a mixture of air and drone strikes – about a third of Iraq's pre-war total.
Israel having killed 21 out of 22 Iranian senior military figures in the first 24 hours, 10 out of 12 Iranian nuclear scientists, and Israel's fighter jets face almost no air defence threat as they fly over western and central Iran, then I must admit Iran’s capabilities have been exposed as inefficient.

God1000:
The target area has underground military facilities operated by IDF


Iran is stronger than Israel one on one, Israel is enjoying full support of America

For now, Israel is only destroying nuclear plants in Iran. When it completely destroys every nuclear plant in Iran, it will start bombing major cities and towns in Iran. Unlike Iran, Israel has a clear agenda which has been made known.

Hypocrisy at it's peaks.

The same people asking Benue state governor to resign.

They would always protect their own, others are just the threat

No, there's no evidence to suggest that the Igbo people have called for the Benue State governor's resignation.

Thanks boss.. if u noticed, I put up an update on my first comment B4 dis reply..
So I was able to get my stuff sorted out.. I enrolled, did my biometrics nd capturing today..
After I got my confirmation slip, I checked my application tracker and saw production stage... I was happy... I didn't give shishi to anyone shaa.. except d officer dat checked if my details were accurate..
I gave her 1k for card...

So fast forward to the this night, I checked back the tracker and saw it has gone back to application received but initially it was in production "passport awaiting production"..
Shud I be worried? Has anybody faced such

It's a technical glitch. No cause for worry.

Ebereisraelyt:
Hello sir..
I'm also on this boat. I registered on the 9th of june and picked today 16th for appointment. Up till now, it's still showing waiting for approval. If I get to servicom in alausa, can I still do the biometrics today?
I don't even know how this works, it's my first time and it's also DIY.
Because I thought after registration online and payment, I choose a date and proceed for capturing nd biometrics. Pls I will appreciate a breakdown of the processes. God bless you

You should have chosen a date in mid July or first week in August. This is to give you ample time to receive the approval mail. It is always advisable to let your date of appointment be a few weeks from the date of registration. You can still do the biometric(s) today if the SERVICOM office sorts out your pending approval in good time.

Yewandequeen:
I applied for passport last week and its still showing waiting for approval till now. Meanwhile i selected Monday 16th for capture. Don't know what to do since its still awaiting approval.

On Monday the 16th of June 2025, go to the SERVICOM office within the Passport Office you chose for biometric enrolment, and lay a complaint.

aliadi2:
Local government... I thought you said that I will go to the NPC to clear the name issue and that's all... Am renewing ma these thing no suppose hard like these na

I thought you also needed state of origin or local government letter.

For name correction on your birth certificate just approach the nearest NPC office.

NPC cannot or does not issue state of origin certificate or local government letter.

"Am renewing ma these thing no suppose hard like these na". It is always advisable to ensure names match exactly across all submitted documents, including applications, birth certificates, and other relevant papers, is vital. Any discrepancies, even minor spelling differences, can raise doubts about the authenticity of your application and cause delays. Regularly updating personal information and verifying consistency across all documents is key to avoiding these issues.

GreatWallz:
Thank you so much for your help, sir!
I did my biometrics/capturing today, and the changes happened just like you said.

Meanwhile, e be like say everybody wan finally japa o because the huge crowd I met there scared me. Lol

I appreciate the opportunity to have helped.

Many Nigerians are migrating abroad due to a combination of factors, including economic hardship, insecurity, and a desire for better opportunities.

Have a fantastic day!

Taal17:
Photogov charges though

Are you sure? All my clients' passport photographs for documents were processed completely free this morning.
https://photogov.net

aliadi2:
Thanks for your reply someone said I can apply for it on npc website and i have begin the process already. My state of origin is lagos

You should go to the secretariat in your local government area to get your local government letter.

aliadi2:
Thanks for your reply someone said I can apply for it on npc website and i have begin the process already. My state of origin is lagos

I strongly advise you go to the nearest NPC office instead of applying online..., because it's possible to encounter technical errors when applying for a document online through the National Population Commission (NPC). Many users have reported problems with the self-service portal, including difficulties accessing the site, failed payment transactions, and issues with validating or retrieving records. Network issues can also cause problems, such as a download failing due to a network hiccup,

Yewandequeen:
Hi,

Since yesterday been trying to apply online but it's keep flagging the passport attached that the lighting isnt bright enough despite how quality the picture is. Any advice?

Go to www.photogov.net and upload your passport photograph there. It will adjust your passport photograph...

aliadi2:
Good evening I want to apply for 10 years passport renewal and I just noticed that the name on my birth certificate is liadi yahyah akanbi olaseinde while the name on my passport and NIN is liadi adewale yahyah can these affect my application and also please where can I do these local government something.

Yes, the discrepancy in your name on both vital documents for Nigerian passport application can, sadly, affect your application. For your application to be successful, your name on your NIN slip must match the name on your birth certificate. You need to go for a correction of your name on your birth certificate.

To correct a name on a Nigerian birth certificate, you'll need to visit the National Population Commission (NPC) office and complete a correction request. You'll likely need to provide documentation like a Deed Poll or Affidavit of Name Change (a legal document attesting to the name change) and a valid ID, along with your birth certificate (original). The process also involves completing an application form and potentially paying a fee.

May I know your state of origin, please?

Exgee:
Hi everyone!

Doctors, Pharmacists and other Medical experts in the House, please help me out. I can't seem to understand how my body system is reacting to lack of sex anymore.

I've abstained from sex for exactly four years now. I decided against going into any relationship with any lady since my last encounter with my ex. And I don't patronize hook-up girls because I can't imagine having sex with someone I don't have any atom of feelings for. I Also do not believe in sleeping with random girls, reason I stayed away from sex until I'm ready for marriage. Another major reason is that I don't use condoms during sex, so I've got to be careful with whoever I'm getting down with.

Some nights, I would have wet dreams, get up to the bathroom to wash myself. I don't masturbate. Last night I had a wet dream again as i slept and laid on my stomach(Sleeping posture), in the middle of the night, I noticed my d**k was rubbing the mattress thoroughly and I noticed something discomforting, when I noticed what was about to occur, I tried to quickly jump off the bed, but unfortunately, while in the process of jumping off, I ejaculated profusely & uncontrollably. My semen was very thick as I checked my boxers. I got up and went straight to bath before going back to bed. I was so angry about it.

Today, I'm now feeling pains in my scrotum and it's a bit swollen too. After I finished bathing this afternoon and was trying to dry my body, I noticed semen coming out but looking like pre-cum.
I need some advice on what to do, and how to go about this please.

The bible says we shouldn't indulge in Premarital sex cos it's a sin. You guys preach against Masturbation cos some see it as a devilish act. While others say it can cause erectile dysfunctional issues. So I don't know what to do. I'm just between the rock and the hard ground now.

Is there any Drugs I can take to inhibit the activities of these stubborn semen?
Again, how do Reverend fathers cope without sex throughout their Lives?
I need answers.

Swollen testicles (also known as scrotal swelling) can be a sign of a variety of things, including injury, infection or a testicular tumor. You should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Elkindo:
Does anyone who renewed passport recently take their NIN slip (or copy) there? Especially if the previous passport had the NIN written on it?
I'm not seeing it as requirements any longer but some friends are saying it's required.

The last time I checked a Nigerian passport applicant renewing his or her passport did not require NIN. On the day of capture or enrollment go with your NIN slip (original and copy) just to be on a safe side.

GreatWallz:
Hello, sir, good afternoon!

Please, I chose next Monday for my biometrics, and I just realized it's public holiday.
Should I reschedule my appointment?
Also, this ready for enrollment and NIN verification are yet to change.

Go on Tuesday 10th of June 2025.
Shortly after you capture or enrol you will begin to notice changes.

GreatWallz:
Alright, sir!
Thank you so much for your time!
Meanwhile, how long does it take for one to get an approval?

If you're lucky you should receive an approval email within days. Should you not receive one a day or two to your enrollment day, you can go to the SERVICOM office for assistance. SERVICOM is a government office that handles complaints about poor service, unreasonable delays, mistakes, etc.

adibo:
Good evening all. Pls, someone should answer me

It wouldn't affect your passport application.

GreatWallz:
Noted, sir!

I've just printed my Standard Passport Application, Payment receipt, and Appointment slip and I've also booked an appointment. I hope I'm on the right track?
Also this is what my status is showing. Please, how long does it take to change?

Wait for application approval mail from NIS

adibo:
Good morning, please, I will appreciate if you can also answer my question. My nin record has single in it but I got married recently and I did not see any option to change my marital status on the nimc website.

Can I go ahead to apply for my passport even though my nin record says that I am single? Will there be an option to pick my marital status while inputting my data for the passport application? Thanks for your anticipated response

May I know your gender, please?

GreatWallz:
My data on my NIN matches with the information on my passport.

Although there's little I can do, my only concern now is about the occupational part where my NIN generated Student, so I was thinking I would have included my current profession to it.

... profession is not formally mandated. Your names, date of birth and gender MUST match.

GreatWallz:
Thank you so much for your help, sir!
After payment what should I do next, please?

I was supposed to ask this particular question earlier before submitting, but it skipped my mind.
I'm currently running a conversion program and at the same time, I work as a Site Engineer. My NIN already has my occupation generated as 'student' on the passport portal.

I hope there won't be issues? I'm just thinking maybe, I should have added 'Site Engineer/student' instead of 'student' alone.

After successfully paying the passport application fee, the next step is to print the acknowledgment slip and receipt, and schedule an appointment for biometric data capture.

Your data will be verified from the National Identity Database at the NIMC. So, your names, date of birth and gender must match exactly with the information provided on your Nigerian passport application. Any discrepancies can cause delays or even rejection of your passport application.

I hope your names, date of birth and gender match exactly with the information provided on your Nigerian passport application.

GreatWallz:
You are a good man! Thank you, sir!
Another thing, sir, this is what I got from them.
I was told it's what the embassy needs!

You're issued the right document. The NPC attestation of birth is available only to individuals aged 17 and above. Those under 17 can only apply for a standard birth certificate.

GreatWallz:
Big thanks, sir!
I've gone past that stage.

However, the NPC portal for birth certificate is not working from my end. Any heads-up about that, please?

You reside in Osogbo. Go to the NPC office to get your attestation of birth.

I think NPC office address in Osun State is: Adjacent Federal Road Safety Office Zone XI, Abere, Osogbo.

GreatWallz:
Good evening, sir.
Thanks for your contribution to this thread.

Please, this is my first time of applying for a passport. I'd appreciate your help in putting me through.
I got stuck at contact information. My family reside in Rivers state, while my current address is Osun state. Can I use Rivers state as my Permanent address and Osun as Current address? My state of origin is also different from the two states mentioned.

Yes, enter your Rivers State address as your permanent one and Osun State address as your current.
It does not matter if a Nigerian passport applicant's state of origin is different from his or her state(s) of residence.
Please proceed with your passport application. Have a good night's sleep.

ElevationD:
Now that you agreed that there’s tribal problem in our country, we can continue for clarity.

The Indians have a class system that segregates the people. Maybe they do not like black people that much, but everyone generally gets along peacefully.
There’s no difficulty finding accommodation. It is easy once you get a property agent. There’s no workplace discrimination because Indian organizations do not have much spaces even for their own people. Unlike China, Malaysia, South Korea and Singapore, job spaces are not there and the salaries are low, if you find any. By the way, visas are structured in such a way that you cannot be there legally for too long.

Nigerians face violence simply because of their irresponsible ways. The youths long exported cultism to India and openly attack and kill each other in New Delhi and other cities. I was on a visit there once when two Nigerians attacked a bureau de change, rob and kill the operator. They were caught the next day. Generally African ladies are involved in prostitution and Nigerian men from all tribes are involved in various criminal activities. [i]How many Indians are in criminal activities here?[

Thankfully there are Nigerians who travel to do their genuine businesses, conclude and return happily.

They are more technologically advanced than us, developed and far wealthier. They encourage you to do business with them and if trusted, you can have a lasting business relationship.

Indians are worldwide job seekers. That’s why you find them in Nigeria. Look out for them in the plastic, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. They work hard and can be trusted. Dangote runs his businesses using Indians. He cannot trust his fellow Nigerians because they will look and kill his organization.

Na Nigerian do themselves, no be Indians.

My male cousin is a Master's degree student at a university in India. He constantly complains about the racism against people with black skin. His Cameroonian friend and course mate had to abandon his study midway and fled India for his safety. Racism against black people in India is deeper than you think! The law of mob is always there.
A year ago, a mob in India dragged a Tanzanian student from her vehicle, stripped her and set her car alight. Thank God she was not raped and murdered. Rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India
In May, 23-year-old Congolese man Masonda Ketanda Olivier was beaten to death in an upscale Delhi neighbourhood. A week after his murder, a spate of assaults left seven Africans injured in Delhi’s Chhatarpur area. Look, Nigerians are not the only ones under racial attacks in India.

Chandra Singh, an Indian national, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, for procurement fraud involving over N816 million. There are Indians who have been involved in crude oil bunkering in Nigeria. Yes, reports indicate that Indians have been involved in illegal crude oil bunkering in Nigeria. In 2019, the Nigerian Navy apprehended an Indian sailor and 17 others attempting to illegally export stolen crude oil to Ghana.

There's workplace discrimination in India and it's a prevalent issue, impacting a significant portion of the workforce. A considerable number of employees report experiencing workplace discrimination in India. Bro, do your findings!

ElevationD:
You sit in your country and accuse others of racism?

So now you differentiate. Are Nigerians racists to themselves? Yes or No?

It is a fact that Nigerians practice ethnic bigotry. But in India black Africans face widespread discrimination from Indians, threat of violence, workplace discrimination, and many face difficulty finding housing and have to pay far higher for it than native residents. Here in Nigeria, Indians are not subjected to such inhuman treatment because Nigerians are not racists to people whose skin colours are different from theirs.

ElevationD:
And Nigeria is free from racism?

Nigerians are not racists towards Indians residing in Nigeria.

ElevationD:
Sorry to tell you that India is bigger and better than your country. Get there and see for self first hand and then draw your conclusion.

But yet racism is an undiagnosed sickness in India. Africans are not exactly safe there.
