I’m Giving It To My Girlfriend Sister Without Her Knowing

Just bought my girlfriends sister a new Tecno spark 5 pro without my babe knowing

Her sister has been phone-less for 3months now
She’s been begging me to get it for her but her elder sister who is my babe refused saying “she doesn’t deserve it” reasons best know to her though.

I also feel it’s not my responsibility but she keeps on bugging me to buy it for her and that I shouldn’t don’t tell her elder sister !!!

Well I just decided to buy it for her today at a mini Plaza close to my area

(Picture below)

Have I made the right decision

When you’re in the finishing stage, always remove the notion that you’re being robbed. Give your project all the attention it deserves.

55 bags of pop cement can never give you the same quality of job 95 bags will achieve.

Engage a very good POP contractor and pay well for supervision if you can’t do-it-yourself.
You’d have a maintenance-free house.

A lot of people spend less today to spend more tomorrow.
That’s not a good one in construction. [/quote]
How many bags of POP cement per sqm ideally?

Health / Re: How Do I Get Rid Of Bed Bug? by Ezepikin: 9:23pm On Sep 12, 2021
Textra:
Please, bed bug is actually one of my greatest fear growing up. I can't just imagine having it in my room back then due to people experiences... The shame, if it follows me outside. Lo, and behold, I can't really say how it got it into my room. My fear has turn to reality now... I rented a room, clean it bought everything new, and after a year I allowed a friend to stay with me, whether it was from him or I got it somewhere else I don't know, but i am dying inside seeing it, I have tried all that I know... Killing it alone makes me wanna vomit... Please, what should I do, to eradicate this enemy.
Go and look for this chemical DD Force.. Take a sample ofit, mix with water and spray on infested spots like the edges of chairs, bed covers, rugs etc. Spray in the night and leave the place till morning. Repeat again the next day. This is highly effevtive in treating these bugs.

Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Ezepikin: 10:11pm On Sep 08, 2021
Thanks a lot for the insight.
All visa applications and documents are submitted electronically. If he applies, he will have a profile to upload these documents... so yes scanned copies. There is no submission of hard copy anywhere
You need to explore what ties your brother has to Nigeria. Without been seen to have adequate ties to Nigeria, he cnt get a visa as they see all applicants as potential overstayers until proven otherwise.
It is not just enough reason for you to say ‘you want to open his passport’ as there are several countries he can go to besides UK to do this.
Point is , get purpose of trip and ties to Nigeria sorted.

Thank you very much.. I think this suggestion is a better option. Thanks for all you do here. I appreciate.

That would be his first visa with no family/friends in the uk so ild say you apply for Tourism visa 6months.How old is he?.Above 18 and not in full time education he would need to provide his own statement of account so transfer money into his account and write a sponsorship letter stating he is your biological brother and he deserves a holiday bla bla bla the amount you transferred/date and what it is to cover.
Whether you choose to scan or submit documents in hard copy is entirely up to you,what matters is they get the documents.
Hope this helps.[/quote]

Pls can you share your whatsapp number so i can forward the pics to you?
Thanks for the feedback.

Good evening sir, first of all, I need you to calm down, all will be fine. There are medications I can prescribe for you that will complement the treatment given by your vet, but if you wouldn't mind, can you send a picture of the wound. Then secondly, please can you let me know if possible the names of the drugs your vet administered, this would guide me in making an accurate diagnosis and prescription. I'll be on standby[/quote]
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Ezepikin: 8:20am On Aug 16, 2021
Thanks for your feedback. I actually want to build his passport. So will it be better if i apply for him alone and stand as sponsor?
Secondly, can you address my 3rd question about scanning documents or submitting it physically. Thanks so much.

Depends on why you want him to travel also, every application is treated on its own merit regardless of number of people in the group so travelling with them would not influence the outcome of his application.
“Good salary” is relative and when you convert it to pounds it doesn’t look as good.I personally would not advice you sponsor so many people at the same time especially as your brother is an adult.

Autos / Re: Total Cost Of Clearing A Vehicle In Nigeria by Ezepikin: 11:15pm On Aug 15, 2021
You sound very professional and i will definitely love to do business with you. I an working on something and will let you know.
kaysy:
How to calculate Total Cost of Clearing vehicles at the Tincan Island Port via RORO
Example of how to calculate the Import Duty of your vehicle, let’s say Toyota Corolla 2004.

SOLUTION:

The CIF Value of a used Toyota Corolla 2004 is usually around $1,886 (Kindly take the amount you purchased your vehicle as your CIF Value for that vehicle) Also note that CIF Value is usually in US Dollar, so if the cost of your vehicle at the country you are buying from is not in USD, please convert it to USD at https://www.xe.com/

The exchange rate the Nigerian Custom Service (NCS) uses at the moment is N405. The Rate of Duty for Vehicles is currently 35% of CIF Value.

So let’s convert the CIF Value to Naira, $1886 X 405 = N763,830

Let’s get the 35% of N763,830. Which is N763,830 X 0.35 = N267,340.5

Now N267,340.5 is your Import duty which is called the surface value. This surface value is negotiable, you can negotiate this with the custom officers to reach a minimal acceptable value and the lower you bid the price, the higher settlement you pay to the NCS Officer, but the NCS Officer will not accept it when you bid below the least acceptable value, so basically at this point you can decide what you want to pay but it must not go below the minimal acceptable value, once an agreement is reached, the NCS Officer will proceed to issue you valuation.

After the surface value is sorted out, an agreement is reached and valuation issued, the next is to add VAT and others to the value given, now to get the total amount u are to pay to NCS account including VAT, Surcharge & ETLS, we have to multiply our surface value with a constant value of 1.38. That will give us N267,340.5 X 1.38 = N368,929.89 This is your total import duty.

Other Charges Includes: These are estimated values based on experiences from previous jobs.

Shipping company Fee, Terminal Charges, Release & Gate + all other miscellaneous payments made to custom officers, depending on the type of human being / officer your work is assigned to.

 Budget around N100,000 to N150,000 for vehicles between 2008 and older
 Budget around N150,000 to N250,000 for vehicles between 2009 and 2012
 Budget around N250,000 to N400,000 for vehicles between 2013 and newer

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE DEMURRAGE SHOULD THE VEHICLE INCUR DEMURRAGE CHARGES.

Clearing Agent Fee is dependent on the shipping line and it’s opened to negotiations if the vehicles to clear are more than one.
Grimaldi Line - N80,000
Sallaum Line - N100,000

Visit our office at Tincan Island with photocopy of your Bill of Lading / Telex Release let’s start the process and clear your vehicle today. Call / WhatsApp me on 0 8 0 2 4 1 0 2 5 5 4

We'll strongly recommend u visit our office in person or send someone to come and see exactly how everything is being done here, once the car has been cleared and released from terminal, we hand it over to you.

Hi Doc, my dog is about 3mths old l.she suffered parvo and recovered. Later we noticed a wound just underneath her tummy which was so big that stiching wasn't an option. After series of treatments at the Vet, the wound is almost healed now and will cover up hopefully this week.
The challenge now is that she can hardly stand or walk. Right from the day we observed that wound some 2wks back, she has neither been able to stand or walk.
What do we do pls? Vet said i should wait for the wound to heal completely.

[b][/b]Hello Everyone...pls I need advice from experienced guys in the house. I want my younger brother to travel to the UK but the challenge is that I do not know his chances cos he doesn't have any travel history and he is single.. I am thinking of him applying with my wife and kids cos they have good travel history with visits to the US and UK several times and we all share same surname. My questions;

1) What documents does he need to provide cos right now he works with my wife who runs a registered business.

2) I want to stand as co-sponsor for their trip.I work and earn good salary and also a signatory to my wife's biz account. Does my brother require his personal accounts to be rich enough to be considered?

3) Are we expected to scan and upload all our documents online or have the option to submit original copy at VFS ?

Happy to get a feedback.

Thank you.

Hi VO, my question is on drop box application. I noticed that the earlier clause of ''no more than two years prior to re issuance'' is now four years on the US visa website. Has it been extended now? My family and i were issued visas in Nov 2013 does it mean we are still qualified for drop box application?





To qualify for the DHL Drop Box Visa Renewal Program, visa applicants must be applying to renew either a B1/B2, an F, an L, or an H visa.

The applicant principally resides in Nigeria;
The applicant’s last visa interview resulted in an issuance;
The applicant was issued a two-year B1/B2 United States visa;
The visa expired no more than two years prior to reissuance
The applicant was at least 14 years old at the time of the last issuance or will be under the age of 14 at the time of reissuance; and
The applicant has never been arrested nor had an encounter with law enforcement, customs, or immigration officials in the United States.


For B1/B2 visa holders:
• The applicant is a Nigerian passport holder; if not a Nigerian passport holder, the applicant principally resides in Nigeria and their last visa was issued in Nigeria;
• The applicant’s last visa interview resulted in an issuance;
• The applicant was issued a two-year B1/B2 United States visa;
The visa expired no more than four years prior to reissuance;
• The applicant was at least 14 years old at the time of the last issuance or will be under the age of 14 at the time of reissuance; and
