This has been my challenge since yesterday. I have tried all the Cards I have without luck. Don’t know if it’s a technical issue

I think it has to be a technical issue. If we can't make use of our strategy debit card, the Embassy would have advised. Over 5 years ago, I made payment without issues on same website with my naira debit ms card. Now, it's not working. Someone should assist with this as I have a limited time to submit my application.

Hello house. Please how does one pay for the TRV application fee online? I tried with my naira debit ms card but it was declined twice. I am not new to this process but I have not renewed in a long while. I paid with my debit naira ms card back then without hitches. Thank you all.

I have an issue that is bothering me. My brother is sickle cell due to my parents mistake during marriage. I have been reading topics about sicklers and it has being bothering me. It there any sickler here or has an experience. Please help. How do you overcome it. And what are things to do

There are 2 ways to ending this but one of it is the best

1) God (the best)
2) Bone marrow transplant( the medical/scientific route)

I have a colleague who was born in the 60s. He's still alive till today, all to the glory of God. You cannot even know if he's a sickler or not. He has never gone for any transfusion. There was a time he took ill. people thought he was going to die. He had sores on his ankles. He said, God must not let him die and he will serve Him till the end. That was the end of the crises. His bone received flesh and sores closed up miraculously. Once in every week, he fasts and prays. No sign of sickle cell in him. He's as healthy and strong as normal beings. This is the surest solution and your brother will be fine. May God restore his health and make him strong. There is nothing God cannot do. He has changed SS cases to AA. But your brother must believe and have an unwavering faith in God

It's so sad that majority that called themselves Christians are nothing but hypocrite, religious bigots and people filled with ignoramus mind. It's so sad how we Christians celebrate and rejoice at the death of many in Palestine. Some even quoted bible to back up their acerbic celebration. The bible is holy and will never condemn the killing of another, let alone the killing of innocent children and women. We all condemned Russia invasion of Ukraine, we back US for helping Ukraine defend themselves but we same lot are the ones rejoicing over the killing of innocent Palestine. Sad sad sad. Yes we condemned the heinous acts carried out by the Hamas militants but the question is does everyone living in Palestine members of the Hamas group. This humanitarian crisis has to stop. This genocide has to stop. For those quoting me, I'm a senior Apostle of the Christ Apostolic church

We are of same denomination bro. Hamas started it. Istrael was asked to pull out of Ghaza some years back and they did. Despite their exit, they still supplied Ghaza water and other aids. Did you see the manner at which Hamas attacked istrael before retaliating? You need to watch the video and see bodies of innocent istraelis litter the streets. While this was happening, Palestinians were jubilating and praying on the highway in excitement. Didn't hamas realise the consequences of their heinous act before striking?

When the hamas were carrying out the planned attack, what did the innocent palestinians do? You cant harbour a criminal in my compound and think I would not call the police. I may end up being held or implicated.

I want the war to end. I hope Hamas has learnt their lessons. I hated George Bush to the teeth when he went ahead and hit Sadam Hussein and his people when he was looking for a utopian weapon of mass destruction. I never liked him. This is a lesson everyone must learn. You do not start what you cannot finish.

Israel is nothing but a US military base

Stop ranting on NL. Better go and join Hamas and Hesbollah to show solidarity .

To the Aburos in the house, good evening. Please I need help bayi. I have been struggling to pay for my TRV application fee online. I tried a couple of times with my Naira debit Ms card, as done some years back seamlessly. This time, payment was declined twice so I stopped. Please any clues? I know this thread is for Students so, accept my apologies for presenting this. Thanks in anticipation.

Proscribe INEC. INEC is the problem of Nigeria.

INEC abi our power-drunk politicians . When Atiku was giving delegates 50k usd each, was he dreaming? Let him come again in 4 years if apc wont win again. They are the problens of Nigeria. Tinubu would never have smelt that place, had atiku allowed the pdp zone presidency to the south.

Your greed caused this mess Nigerians are in right now. Our politicians are so wicked. Had Atiku allowed a southerner to run under the PDP, how on earth would Tinubu have won in Nigeria...how? Labour party's plus the PDP's split votes would have elected a southerner as president. If Atiku runs again in 4 years' time, APC will win again.

They have deliberately impoverished the poor such that, once they induce them with money and a bag of noodles, they would vote them into power. Our greedy politicians are the reason criminals keep holding sway in our political space

"Unprotected sex with 12 girls in 4 years, I'm afraid I might have HIV"

https://www.nairaland.com/7893353/im-afraid-might-hiv

Good evening fellas...
I made this post two weeks ago, I was so terrified, was going crazy but thank God for the words of encouragement from you guys. Your kind words and encouragement made me took the bold step
After thinking about my life, I decided to do the test; if I perish I perish. It is better than all the sleepless nights and nightmares.

For over a month now my Google searches is 99% related to HIV; the modes of transmission, early signs, late symptoms, prevalence rate in Nigeria, my state, general world stats.

To worsen the whole situation, last week when I was trying to hold myself together, my latest girl called that she's been feeling feverish, vomited 3x or so, she's lost weight and all... I froze. That's all what google fed me as early signs and it's barely 2 months we had sex...

So I woke up one day and fixed today, Friday 10th November for the test come rain come shine.
This morning, I woke up, promised myself it must be today. If I have it, I have it already. It's not like the test will put the virus in my system. Just a confirmation.

After all, I've joined some HIV support groups on Facebook and saw many were requesting for a match making. These would be my family at worst, they are humans too!

So I left very early for a mission hospital kilometers away from my house. I got to the place, sneaked in after watching to ensure the coast is clear from anyone that might know me.
I asked the gateman and he directed me to where I can get a compulsory patient's card. I got to the office and met no one on duty, so I had to wait. Just as I was waiting, a primary school classmate walked in with her husband, they a planning a wedding and the church directed them for same blood test.
"Whick kind wahala be this" I asked myself, I thought no one will see me here today. No wam, we waited together until the card lady entered, we got the card and proceeded to the electronic capturing center.

The woman at the electronic center was reluctant to attend to me that it must be couple that will come for the test, ahhh cou what?? Madam I'm single and I want to do a blood test to know if I'm health for a relationship or not... People come dey laff me.
Finally, I was attended to and was directed to financial department. I went and made my payment and was redirected to the electronic capturing center, when i got back, I called on the woman "ma, I'm asked to give u this receipt" she turned, "you?? Your case is different" she said. I was like has she confirmed I'm positive by mere look? How is my case different?

At long last she directed me upstairs, to the test office. Omo, I actually thought they would collect my blood sample and ask me to come back for the test result.
I had planned to go take some alcohol before I will come for the rest but no... Korokoro, the lad pricked my hand got and test strip and it was it.... Ma ma I stammered... Like are u seriously doing this now??
Just like when Kalistus ate the poisoned fish, I began to get weak.
She began asking me questions, but I was busy watching the test strip until a line began to form at the down side, it was a single line. I was a bit happy but it wasn't over as I heard it might take up to 20 minutes.
I burst prayer oo. Just then the lady at the opposite side called to ask my age and all that. Before I could turn back I say the test lady writing Negative. Omo, I jumped out, they called be back to come take my result sheet.
I rushed out dancing skelewu as I made my way to the exit gate.
My good people I'm Negative to HIV 1$2.

You're still not safe, except you refrain from your reckless lifestyle

Hope really tried in Imo. I was surprised what I saw the last time i visited...solid road construction, unlike Rochas who only spread granite on the graded roads. If you work hard, you don't need to be afraid cos people would always support you.

Though I'm a supporter of labour party but only at the centre,especially Peter Obi.

Hope deserves 2nd term and I do hope, he'd not relent cos they always relax in their 2nd term in office.

Gerrard59:
Na wetin dey surprise me. Apart from cheap loans, what else makes them succeed against all odds?



Well, this is normal. Cost of living is usually lower in developing countries, especially if the income is in dollars. Just as rent is costlier in Lekki compared to Ewet Housing in Uyo.

FYI, Chinese don't need our loans. They're well-equipped with what they brought from their country. Are you aware Chinese government support their citizen's investments in the foreign land? That's why out of 10 management staff in any Chinese company, their people must be 8. When in the USA back in the days, the American givernment fought them.iber this, same in Canada.

Are you aware there are companies and individuals doing well in Nigeria today and still paying yearly what our people pay in a country like USA monthly despite living above the standards of those living abroad? Each time I visit Disneyland in California, I hardly see a single black man or woman there in attendance during summer. Their bosses are at Disneyland with family while their staff...our people are busy working for them roubd the clock with an enticing overtime bonuses.

If many can look inward's, they'd realise how much they're missing by staying put over there.

That's the consequence of inec's bad policies. They can send money successfully via their bank apps without any issues. The majority of inec officials have businesses that use POS, especially the popular moniepoint yet, they want to keep adopting an archaic method of voting, saying its not safe , in order to give way for electoral fraud. Why won't this nonsense happen, when that was the same way they rigged tinubu into power and locked up the irev portal so they could be counting votes manually.

Yahaya bello did same during the presidential election to favour tinubu without being caught, same way they did in other states in the country, while the porter remained locked He thinks he can do the same this time

Shame on inec, shame! For taking us back to Morris Iwuh days

DeOTR:
Of course. It's only in Nigeria manufacturers will increase their prices and at the same time, reduce the quality and quantity of the product, and standard organization will look away. Only in Nigeria.

Have you been to china before? Nigeria is still learning in this area. Meanwhile, credit them for still producing and employing workers, even in the midst of economic hardship which the government has put them into...they deserve some credit

Tell them sir. While our people keep running away, Chinese and Indians keep coming in and smiling to the bank. Imagine Chinese investing in our ceramics industry and exporting to China and other African countries. Them full edo state. Meanwhile, edo people would
be running to Italy and other EU countries. Chinese juju most be working.

Our annual tent in an eyebrow area in a Nigerian city is one month rent overseas. I don't get it

It was an Interview waiver (so no physical interview) and I also sent a relative to help me submit at the same Dhl office, since I am not in Lagos right now.

In that case, prepare a letter of authorisation, input your passport details and then, sign. Tell the proxy to make a photocopy of his/her ID and take it along .

snowphunmee:
Good day all, please who can advise me on how to get my passport back, I got an email that my passport is ready for pick up but I am unable to schedule a pick up because it says record not found. Please help on how to go about it or a number to contact DHL VIctoria Island

It will say record not found if you try scheduling a pick up via your phone because your date of birth, which must be filled-in would be hidden, due to the size of your phone screen. Activate the auto rotate function, which is usually on the top of your phone(see attached/encircled for details), turn the phone to the palm mode, (by turning it either left or right) to reveal the full page and you'd be able to see your date of birth column clearly. Alternatively, you can schedule on your computer.

You can also pick up anytime. Just go to your preferred dhl office anytime you wish to pick up, schedule while you're in their premises. Usually, you would not be able to schedule for pick up same day you're going. Don't bother yourself, schedule
for any later date while you're still there. They'd still attend to you. What's important is for your information to be available on their system.

akatovic1:
Please can anyone who has retrieved his/her passport by sending a representative to the DHL at Isolo tell me what is required of the representative?

Did you fill-in a proxy form with your representative's details on it? All that's required is the copy of the proxy form which is usually being given after a successful interview. The proxy (rep) would need to make photocopy of his/her valid government-approved ID and take it along. On arrival at the chosen dhl location, your rep would acknowledge the collection on the proxy form and sign, after which passpoet will be handed over to him/her

EyeCumInPiss:
Pls when will Tinubu visit his childhood Primary or Secondary school.

This isn't Tinubu's picture but that of Donald Duke. Who dash Tinubu this fine face . Donald had faulted the desperate move by tinubu and his allies but you know Donald, he's not a trouble maker. He'd have sued him.

Nigerian judiciary had set a bad precedent for generations to come, which will be very difficult to undo because references will be made to the circumstances that surrounded Tinubu's certificates. He didn't attend the children home school as claimed, neither did he attend the GCI but the supreme court allowed him go. A major candidates would just file fake results and fake school in future and nobody wouid dare nullify his candidature or victory....you'd just hear...in the case of Tinubu vs state. I wish salisu buhari could appeal the verdict that removed him as lawmaker over similar offence

A lot in 2 months kę. A lot can happen in 2 hours. God is amazing! Congrats David. He fit pack all the 3 sef

Bello really planted ebira people in key positions on his administration. He's not even hiding being a tribalism, smh. Someone said he'd defect to the pdp once he leaves office,.maybe cos he knows tinubu doesn't like him....politicians can't be trusted

Tinubuuuuul, according to the NSE after announcing the free fall of the Naira. They claimed the stock rose sharply.

tonybank01:
Good morning to you all

I want to apply for USA visiting visa, what is the procedure

The money agent is asking is too much. 5 million naira the work it out for me

Please I need your help

Did the agent lace his tongue with juju to hypnotise people who are desperately in need of date ? You can DIY. If you picked a far-reaching date and you feel you have compelling reasons to request an expedited appointment, don't bother to mail them cos you definitely won't
get the kind of help you need. Moreover, they're always overwhelmed with mails so, they may send you a FAQs link or send a generic response. Nothing could be more annoying. Instead, you call them on 012278955. Try and speak with an agent. You'd get connected immediately as the line isn't always busy. Follow the voice prompt and try to speak with an agent. The below is how to go about this.

1- Dial 012278955
2- Enter 4, on your dialling pad after the voice prompt
3- Enter 2, after the voice prompt
4- Enter 0, after the voice prompt
5- Enter 5, after the voice prompt and you'd be directed to an agent immediately.

If you don't follow the above, you'd get lost cos there are loads of information which would be thrown at you by the answering machine. Apart from being confused, you'd end up wasting your time and burning all your airtime. See the attached picture for a hint.

The agent would ask you some security questions to be sure you're the right applicant. Tell her why your interview should be brought to an earlier date. This has worked for like 2 people I introduced this to. She'd put you on hold while she checks the preferred date, if available, or she suggests a close one. Please note that, you must have booked an appointment , even if its year 2030 before calling.This information I'm sharing is worth even more than the 5m naira which the hungry and callous agent is asking you to pay. This thread was set up by the OP, to assist people for free but some people do take advantage of it to make money from unsuspecting applicants.

I've never paid a dime to receive a visa and I've been travelling to the states for almost 20 years now, even took people to US without collecting a dime. I'm not an agent so,no DMs please. I'm only saying this so people who are billing their fellow Nigerians who need help should have a change of orientation. In those days, I'd visit Indian threads to read about various visa categories and see how they're assisting one another free of charge, as if they're related. We should emulate them. No be everything be money. Meanwhile, members on that thread are' thousands of km apart yet, they help as if they're closely related, FOC.

Good evening my people. Long time. There was something I observed recently at the dhl drop off centres in lagos. My father and mother in-laws had their interview in Abuja and it was successful. So, father In-law preferred documents to be sent to Muri Okunola's dhl office in Lagos. When the passport was tracked, it showed muri okunola @ VI but on getting there, I was referred to Isolo for pick up, where I paid 4,500. Whereas in April when I went to pick up my passport at same isolo dhl office afrer my IW application was teated, I didn't pay a dime. Could it be a recent development?

I also observed that, the muri okunola, which used to be seething with crowd was so scanty the morning I visited. I met just 2 people on seat @ VI. It was same experience when I got to Isolo office. Don't people travel to US anymore or what? It was so strange to me cos I had used both centres in the past and it was always crowded each time.

From what is here he didn't plan the cost of birthing abroad.

I still don't get what the issue is really.
He's afraid of deportation?
Since he came to visit why is he afraid to go back to Nigeria

I don't see what racism has to do with it.
Maybe he should research what rights he supposedly has that prevents border personnel from going through his documents or phone.
You already shared that the reason for your travel was to birth abroad na so the border personnel is right na.

Their passports are with them so go to the hearing.
Better plan payment for the hospital bills or look for charities to help you pay. Jejely collect your baby's Canadian passport.
Deportation is not the end of the world.

If they're deported, they may never smell Canada ever again. It's a red flag. Maybe by the virtue if the baby, the decision to deport could be upturned

This guy may win, but narrowly

NLC and TUC are now unserious unions

Don't you understand what it means to physically assault the head of workers association in a country because he's fighting for the rights of his members? They call him all manner of names just because Peter obi came out under the Labour party( the party of the Labour union). NLC chairmanship is a rotatory office and I wonder why the Union leader now belongs to Labour party just because he was asking the government of the day to increase welfare of workers and their salaries in view of the current economic hardship, which all his predecessors, including my man, Adams Oshiomohle did. Had Ajaero shaken Tinubu same way osho baba did obasanjo, maybe by now, they'd have either killed him or he's maimed for life. Oshio baba no get time for a delayed implementation after a round table discussion, unlike what ajaero had done a couple of times now under tinubu. Once the meeting ended in a stalemate, oshio would proceed on strike ni. Ajaero is such a Liberal man and he's still being unappreciated for this.

It's high time all these supporters of the apc stopped reading meanings to such an issue of national interest, all because the union leader isn't on the side of hardship being deliberately unleashed on Nigerians. Imo workers arrears haven't been paid and the governor wants to come back to office? Common! Why not use part of the money he's using to campaign to settle workers salary? Would he vote himself into power? The last time I checked , workers are the majority of the electorate in every state.

Calling ajaero a Labour party member is childish as read here several times. Pdp and other pasties are also contesting election in imo, not an apc vs Labour party affair. Or is he also working for both Labour and pdp?

If you're going to compare AC Milan and PSG of the 90s with Napoli of today, then you're clearly the one who needs a history lesson.

AC millan wasn't a popular club that time, just like napoli in ranking, if truly you are in tune with football history, which i doubt. The club rose from nowhere to stardom, all thanks to George Weah, just like FC Porto did for the very first time and won that major trophy against all odds when Jose Mourinho was their helmsman..

AC Milan and FC Porto really shocked many. AC Millan brought Weah into limelight, same way Porto did for mourinho as a result of their undispitable outstanding performance in their profession. You can read more about them, especially the ac millan which produced weah as the world best in his generation
