🤣🤣 i have but i dont have the liver to check the status of My Application, so im just waiting for a collection mail
You don't have to wait for anything ok? Just keep checking your status either on https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

OR

https://atlas.my.salesforce-sites.com/applicanthome?sfdcIFrameOrigin=null.

Always check your mail too, in case you need to provide more information. I was away for over a week with a limited access to my mail sometime ago. I almost missed that chance cos the information I was asked to provide which I received via email was to be submitted within 24 hours. I checked my mail barely 24 hours to the deadline given. I had to rush to the nearest DHL the following day to do that. Always check your mail OK?

You may check status once at every close of business daily for updates. I hope you get 5 years because they've started issuing it already. Good luck.

My friend how market?
I told you before. Come back to the fold. Labour party is a party buit on falsehood, lie, propaganda, mischief, intimidation etc. I swear the party cannot excel. It lost even in the east.
Congratulations to sanwoolu, should he eventually emerge victorious. The message is clear already as they themselves have seen. Lagos isn't moving forward as expected. Ambode opened many people's eyes. If you're resident here, you'd attest to this. Arun oju ni. It's visible to the eyes. Except we're deceiving ourselves.

I hope he'd address people's concerns especially in my LG. But if status quo is maintained, the people will continue to suffer, and always agitate for a change. I've nothing to benefit from them and I don't intend to. I see most of them overseas and we don't greet cos I have no business with them but they should give the people what they want as they're their servants...dividends of democracy, not using their money to aquire property here and there, what they'd not be buried with when they die. Pa jakande, the revolutionist wasn't burried inside one of the estates he built for lagosians. Lagos isn't that big. They say...eko ko tobi, awa eeyan inu ę lo po. I don't care who wins, I'm an advocate of good governance. Lagos land mass can't be expanded than it is. Why not use the revenues judiciously? Did you know despise ambode's massive projects in lagos, lagos still declared budget surplus? Governance is not a rocket science. Corruption is hampering lagos development

The state is rich enough to even be autonomous. They keep saying tinubu ran lagos LGAs for years as governor without federal allocation, when they truly know that the fed allocation is like jaara. We don't need it to develop Lagos. Revenue from vehicle licence renewal annually alone would swallow a state's annual budget. There are other much more lucrative areas too. I don't need to mention my name here. I was one of those who agitated for CCTV at Strategic traffic points in lagos, before they began looking into it. What ought to have been in place long before now. Ordinary cotonou had it everywhere installed to curb crime. They use it to generate revenues from traffic offenders too.

God has blessed me and that's enough my friend. On coming back to the fold, forward ever, backward never. I've got nothing to do with the apc or its support again. The change i was looking for in them never existed. In near future, I do hope we'd get it right in lagos and entre country.

To those of you who may be attacking igbos wrongly, its really not fair. They have a right to vote their candidate like you and I in a democracy. I wonder why this doesn't happen in Abuja as well cos after lagos, it's abuja where you'd see a large number of them. Lagos election has always been this violent especially in the areas where they dominate. Thugs always go there to foment trouble. If you remember the past, it has always been so. I remember in 1999 , same scenario. This year's election is a different ball game. We had our reason for voting LP on 25th feb in Alimosho. Ibos are merely 5% of our population, same as other areas where APC had lost and that means a lot. It's a message to them. Their losses wasn't caused by ibos or Muslim Muslim ticket as people aleways ignorantly posit. We dont vote based on religon in Yorubaland as you always know. A pastor's wife at an RCCG said she's voting tinubu and sanwoolu. She's an ogbomoso woman. Thats it. They're just not doing enough with our resources. No nation thrives amid sentiments, check it. My humble opinion.

PoliticsRe: Deji Adeyanju Blasts Yorubas For Their Tribalism In Guber And HOA Election by Eriokanmi: 9:32am On Mar 19, 2023
Vinnie2000:
Blame is on APC/Tinubu. sad

APC brought out the Demons in most Yorubas!.. embarassed

When I see their TRIBALISTIC rants on Nairaland, I just SMH. 😟😒
Empty barrel makes the loudest noise. Most of them will return to their poverty after this election. Sadly, those politicians they're supporting don't know them. Their suffering continues. Imagine urchins calling me ipob. If I provide my twitter account here, you'd see my name all in yorubas. That Deji Adeyanju hails from kogi doesn't make him an ebira or igala. He's yoruba but from kogi by virtue of state creation. They were supposed to be in ekiti or kwara state. In kwara, there are nupes who were cut off cos of state creation, ijaws in ondo, etc. Despite being born to a lagos woman from jakande family, and claiming same lagos, they're calling me edo and not yoruba. That 5k they collected would soon finish and they resume their abeg to apply mentality, searching of jobs.

I fight for the masses in Lagos, not for myself. I benefit nothing from the government. Rather,
they're the ones taking from me in taxes Sadly,the same masses are calling me names grin. They say they prefer to be poor so I'm leaving them alone They've started begging already as usual but I simply ignored them. Tribalism is a menace. Seyi tinubu would one day have a grown up child who would want to vy for a political position in lagos. What goes around comes around. His Anambra wife won't allow him remove that igbo name she gave her child .

They said Gbadebo called tinubu afonja and so? Are we descendants of afonja? Why generalise it on yorubas? When tinubu was accused of narcotics dealings, they defended him despite the obvious. Is that reputable of ayoruba elder he claims to be? Had Awolowo ever dealt in drugs? What of pa jakande, our uncle? All these nonsense were caused by tinubu. Lagos was never this divided before 1999 and I blame Afenifere for giving him that mandate. I'm sure they're regretting it already as he has succeeded in splitting them with money. Things are changing now. Its a gradual process in our electoral process. The foundation for a change has been laid in this election. You shouldn't find your way into power by intimidation and violence. That's not democracy anymore.

To those spreading tribal wars, you've just shot yourself in the leg. I've seen non Yorubas pay yoruba's child's school fees. That would now stop. I know of an igboman., though delta igbo who sponsored one osun guy overseas. The guy ended up marrying from their side because they're the only ones he saw as his family. Would all these happen again? Would thise politicians who don't know them save them?

I drove freely in Alimosho yesterday. The light didn't even blink. The road was so smooth...that's as the good governance I'm talking about as we've never had it so good in the past until ambode came. Since sanwoolu came on board, he did nothing there but urchins like it cos he's settling all of their parents with money meant for developing lagos which ambode denied them. They don't like it as they don't drive in bad roads anymore. The community health centres built and equipped by ambide is still there.

We will all reap the consequences of our choices, either good or bad.

There's nothing like tribalism in yorubaland. We're accommodating and welcoming and that's why Yorubaland is developing. It was tinubu who came and changed the status quo by breeding thuggery. Was it Pa Awolowo who wasn't accommodating or who? How many thugs did Pa Awo breed? When tinubu talks, just analyse his words. You'd realise how stinking it is. No good man or leader talks the way he does, just like a drunk man. Is it normal for people to snatch ballot boxes and attack people openly just because they want to end bad governance?

It's not today opposition has been winning in Lagos and Yorubaland? Heaven didn't fall when it happened. Even if another candidate rises tomorrow to contest, urchins will still complain. Jimmy Agbaje was even called an igbo agenda. PDP, an opposition had won Lagos before and it won't be the last for an opposition. All tribes represented here jointly made it happen. Amazingly, most of those preaching tribal messages are among the poorest of the poor. They're badly hit by the policies of bad governance. This is just the beginning. Things can always get better with better people occupying our political space. No more free votes.

By the time Tinubu's empire ends, his supporters will be put where they belong. The end to his empire has just started as you can see. Nothing lasts forever.

More people are becoming emancipated. My friend's younger brother from awori was approached at his PU today by one useless urchin who called him ipob. He gave him a dirty slap and the guy fell. Thanks to the elders present. Maybe he'd have killed somebody today. How's Bolarinwa an igbo name?

Others are coming. Ikorodu is worse. It's like a ghost town today and that's one of the areas APC was expecting high votes. Maybe it's as a result of last week's protest by those working for the party. They said they didn't pay them what was promised on 25th

For those that has renewed their visa through IW; how do you know you have been approved before you actually pick up your passport?

My relatives applied for the waiver and I just checked the portal. Please see what it is saying below - Your passport is ready for pickup. I am not sure if they have been approved or not.
When did your relations submit their passport at DHL office? Did they write down the website of DHL where their documents were to be tracked?

Please go here and input all the details requested.

I love this your writeup. As Sanwo-Olu didn't deliver in Alimosho, he doesn't deserve the votes of residers there.
But if you're voting out Sanwo-Olu because Tinubu is his godfather that is very myopic.
I will vote Sanwo-Olu because last year I was in gidi, I could see impacts of good leadership especially on Lagos Mainland and the Island.
However, it is about the best for Lagos state.
You're right on those projects you mentioned. They were mostly ambode's projects which sanwoolu only completed and commissioned. There are still a lot more , which sanwoolu abandoned. Had ambode been allowed to continue, he'd have completed them and done much more.
