This is fungal acne, that is why it has refused to go even after all the treatment. Retin-A would work but get the Tretinoin Gel variant. Be sure to apply only to the affected part, also note that it may get worse before it gets better because retinoids will usually purge the skin by breaking out all the acnes under the skin before clearing it.
You have to be patient, acne treatments could take up to 6 weeks before a noticeable improvement in the skin condition

SaAyomikun:
Hi Nairaladers,

I've noticed these acen-like spots on my face since around 5 years ago. Then, I didn't pay much attention cause I was erroneously convinced into believing it was caused by eating too much oil. Well, I cut down my oil consumption totally and those spots remain there.

The shocking part is they exist only around my eyes. The remaining of my face is smooth except around my eyes.

I have used several ointments including Ytacan and Funbact- A, still no difference.

Recently, somebody prescribed an ointment called "RETIN-A" for me but before using it, I wish to seek advice from the good people of this forum.

Please, do I go ahead to buy the RETIN-A or there's a better option?
I need advice, please.

First of: why is your moniker ‘Cheat***’?

Cheato64:
I got married in 2018, I love my wife so much and I know she loves me too but my wife is too dramatic.

She always claim she trusts me but mehn she doesn't let me out of her sight. I do everything and it's affecting me, we have a son and another is on the way, she has refused to learn how to drive on purpose, I take her everywhere, antenatal, market (hate this one the most), I drop and pick her from work, am forced to go church or other programs which I wouldn't like to go.

She goes through my phone every 3 days most especially at night. She noticed I snore I asked for a separate room, she will never let me, she Insists we sleep with light on.

Sometimes I pray for Nepa to take light. The day I called an ex that works in bank to assist me with transaction due to crowd, she went through my phone saw it, I had to explain out of anger she smashed my phone she does this very often she has smashed hers b4.

I feel like running away for a week but I can't leave my work or our son and she might go to my parents which I wouldn't want.

Pls I need help on how to tackle this wahala

OP, I do hope you get all the help you need. Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with Ethiad, but if you still haven’t been able to reach them, you could @ them on Twitter. I find it faster to get corporate organizations to respond that way.
Next time, try to check-in online for your flight. For most middle-eastern flights, online check in opens up to 24 hours before departure. Also remember, for international flights, you are advised to get to the airport at least 4 hours prior to departure time. Your still sleeping up to 10am when you have a 1.30pm flight to catch show more than a little tardiness.
Good luck

dapo456:
It was Etihad , lagos to india, i missed my flight, and i was rescheduled to tomorrow flight, the lady wrote a penalty of 75k on my print out which i know its not official, please someone in the house who is experience should help me, i don't have such amount of money , i have logged on there sight and confirmed that i'm scheduled for tomorrow flight.

I booked the ticket by myself online with my master card and i believe if there's any extra charges , i should also pay it by myself online. The lady said i should bring the 75k tomorrow on my travel date.

Please kindly move to front page if possible, i need urgent advice from experienced people, i've contacted ethihad but since the call was picked by nigerians , i still smell pre-intimacy. please help me. i attached a picture of an image which seams like what i could have paid if there's any charges , which is 75dolars or i have already paid charges for extension incase i missed the flight. please check the image

Reason why i missed the flight:[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] The first flight i booked showed September 18th, 1:30pm, i was so sad because this will not meet up with my course and i will have to book another one. Not knowing that the date was an error from there end and i wasn't charged at all, i almost cried for about 1hour while i was waiting for gtb to charge me, But when they didn't charge me, that was when i realized it was an error from their end so i rebooked it, now the date was okay (august 12th, 2019) but i never bother to checked the time again , forgetting that the date and time changed, i've been telling my self my flight was 1:30, I EVEN SLEPT AROUND 9 TILL 10, i live at ojodu berger, so i could be at ikeja airport by 11am which i did. Note: No village people is involved, It will had to my experience i live i know. so just give me your honest advice not village things.

My journey actually originated from London, not like I transited through Heathrow. I flew American Airline (AA). That seems to be the trend from London the two times I had flown out of Heathrow this year to the US -visa interview like check-in ��

seyewest:
This is why I try to avoid European Airline especially Gatwick and Amsterdam.

I was even scanned and thumb-printed while departing via DFW last Sunday 17th June.
When I was going, I traveled through London Heathrow and it was another round of interview for EVERYONE-similar questions to the ones asked during visa interview. This was after the visa had been swiped so I have a feeling they were comparing answers.
PS: I’m a frequent visitor -like this is my 3rd US trip this year.

ayenikunle:
They don't stamp but SCAN your passport out. You can even check your travel (entry and departure) history here https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home.

They don't need any airline to get your travel details.

You have no noble mission sir.

Unfortunately no university jokes with issues of examination malpractice. Ask your friend to enroll for UTME next year. Or if the family can afford it, let him go abroad.

Answering questions on Quora isn’t a full-time job na so she isn’t rotting away, just answering questions based on her experiences. Lot of VIPs and foremost tech guys are on Quora too providing insights, some run special features on contemporary tech topics, etc. Quota isn’t just an average social media platform. It is a foremost sharing economy platform and many A-list programs had built extensive datasets from the content. We even had a whole project based on Quora, Airbnb and Uber back in School.

seyewest:
Exactly US Homeland Dept won't allow someone with vast experience to rot away on Quora/Social Media (She's very good and remember I said may not be a Consular but very sure she has worked in various Embassy all over the world) but what do I know, it's just my gut feeling especially with her posting her pics isn't that risky?

I follow her on Quora and I believe she is legit and has a wealth of knowledge about our systems. She’d worked in several African countries including Nigeria and Kenya. She also trained a lot of our consular officers. That info about where she had worked even came up under another question not visa related.

OmoBendel24:
Seyewest; hardly can that woman be fake. Person wey me dey even suspect say she be "Security Personnel" join sef? Our prejudices may make us get swayed (remember she's worked at different Missions of the US around the world, her views may then not completely cover how we think it works in their Nigeria Mission), but she seems sometimes to be in the mould of the VOs we have had here on NL, even a higher version of them on occasions...

Not necessarily.
A good number of peeps that I know (colleagues) had successfully renewed their unused visas even without traveling elsewhere. One was invited after Dropbox and it was just a chat. No questions asked about the previous unused visa.

PinkSunset:
Aaah! Really? We didn't travel anywhere ooo. I guess we should start making travel plans then.

She may be lucky to get an earlier date if she could keep checking. I know someone who got June 6 got Lagos just this week.

flourishing247:
Lagos has gotten to October if not further. I guess the visa will be for Christmas or next year

Yes.

passionup:
Hello guys, i need clarification on this issue. Can a third party submit passport pursuant to a passport request in an online application? A response is highly appreciated. Thanks

I currently work outside of Nigeria and had wanted to apply from my country of residence but I am presently in Nigeria for another official assignment so I had to use the opportunity to renew my visa.
I had braced up for a 221(g) since that seems to be the trend these days, but I guess my profile worked for me.
Goodluck to everyone applying.

Thank you so much for your response

gaskinachi:
Yes, I only had a 2 year visa once.i skipped the 5 year option and went for 10 years and the visa was issued.

Good evening Nairalanders on the UK thread. For someone who had had two years UK visit visa twice , would advice that the person applies for 10 years straight off or for 5 years after the expiration of the two years?
Thank you all

POE Experience on Sunday 27 January 2019 was a breeze. Well almost
POE: Atlanta
CBP: Hi
Me: Hello
CBP: (Took my passport and Completed Custom declaration form, scans passport) And what is the purpose of your visit this time?
Me: to attend xyz conference
CBP: How long are you staying?
Me: yy days.
CBP: Do you have any food items in your luggage?
Me: Just noodles
CBP: Ok. Stamps passport. Have a good one

I went to pick my luggage -carry-on size but had to check it in because of my feminine orisirisi.
As I was heading for the exit, another officer saw me.
CBP-2: Ma'am where are you arriving from:
Me: Amsterdam
CBP-2: Did you visit any other country on this trip?
Me: Yes. my journey actually originated from Uganda.
CBP-2: Took my passport, placed it in a yellow-trimmed folder. This way, please...
So I had to go to secondary inspection. When it was my turn, the officer (a different one) asked same questions again. Me: same answers.
Said they would have to inspect my bag. As I opened it, another officer opened my backpack, and in the process, he saw my Official Passport. Picks it, opened it and goes: "ma'am" why aren't you traveling on your Diplomatic Passport and I replied that my US Visa is on my personal passport.
What is the purpose of your trip? Me: xyz Conference here in Atlanta. Do you have any food in your bag? Me: No, just noodles. Ok. You can re-pack your bag. Take the right to the exit.
The whole process took less than 10 minutes plus wait time. A lot of guys on Secondary Inspection were almost in tears due to the fear of missed connection.
Now contending with the crazy weather

What class of visa did your hubby travel with to the US? Postdocs are given J1 visas but then since he is not on a postdoctoral training now, it poses a problem. My advice is to apply after your hubby returns from the US. You most definitely would have to answer "Yes" to the question about family in the US and that family is your spouse- a quick check on his status and being in the US for 3 months (I assume on a B1/B2 visit visa) would raise a red flag.

All the best!

kaampe1:
I don't know why am bothering to respond but for the sake of those who genuinely want to help and need better clarification , I will say this. My husband just completed his PhD in SA and was supposed to start his post doctoral program this January. So he traveled in Nov to attend a seminar and spend some extra weeks vacationing . Unfortunately the post doc didn't work out so he stayed back a little longer and probably see if there are other schools for his post doc and if you read my post well you will see I mentioned he will be back next month. Moreso why will I want to go live in US permanently if I have things working for me here.

I would advise that you continue with your mathematics program. State of the art Artificial Intelligence areas like Data Science, Machine Learning, etc have blurred the lines between CS and MATHS. There is so much convergence now.
However do not just stop at the theoretical learning in school. Embrace programming, problem-solving and algorithms development. Sign up for Freecodecamp. You will get tons of invaluable resources.
All the very best! ��

dauddy97:
I love programming and I love Mathematics. I choose Mathematics myself when I applied for jamb since 2017. Currently in 200lvl. My eldest brother called my dad and ask him what I was studying, so he told him it's "Mathematics". After their discussion, I was told to start planning to write another jamb and choose computer science. I don't know how to convince them. pls help, should I continue with Mathematics or sit for another jamb.

pls, I need your candid advice.

Nope. Mine is a visit visa not study. So I don't need a POE letter.

IceQueen92:
Have you received a POE letter of introduction yet.. if yes, how long did it take

Mine took 15 days
Submitted on a 3rd and was called to pick up on 18th

PS: Didn't submit in Nigeria though, but a Nigeria passport

flgd:
Hello, please how long does take it for passport to be stamped with visa upon request by the embassy

Working
Foreign officer. Capish?

ugandalady:
why do you go to uganda ? it is poorer than nigeria. and as you say, you are a grassroot, you dont do business here, right ? then, why do you stay in this country ?

Funny
I am no tourist. I get to live in these countries for a spell due to the nature of my job.

BTW, I am Nigerian and very African, very grassroot

Let me know when next you are in Uganda. Would love to hang out in the suburbs while we eat some matoke garnished with meat

Enjoy

ugandalady:
you are a rich tourist

i mean the majority grassroot, who you as a tourist , sadly , will never encounter. they are the people, you sitting in a cruiser, pass by.

funny thing is , though you been to almost all the countries in the world, you see nothing.

africa is a place, you get nothing by passing by.

stay for 1 year or 2.

I totally disagree with you on item #3. I am a foreigner presently living in Uganda. If anything, they eat way too much meat here than any other East African country -I have been to all except Djibouti. It seems to me that almost all of the local delicacies (except chappati) I have tasted are meat-based.
And meat is very cheap here too.
[Qquote author=ugandalady post=73858282]1) uganda is more laid-back than nigeria, more undeveloped. the pastoral scene.

2) condiment in the market. no idea what is that.

3) ugandan people basically eat flapjacks and a cup of tea for a meal, they hardly can afford meat. stove for flapjack making.

4) joy after working hours. palm wine. see their faces, how could they smile so openly if i was who i appeared to be in this forum.[/quote]

What does "hook up applications" even mean?
Seems to me like your 'Prince' has scammed you

Hmmmmmm. "...got a call from the conference planner about payment..." that is a red flag comrade. Be sure that these organizers are genuinely promoting research and not some money/visa mills that are already known to and flagged by the embassy. Also be sure of their refund policy as well. All the best

pufframmy:
thanks i even got a call from the conference planner today asking me when am going to make the payment promise them next week

Unless you have legal status (Study Visa, Residence Permit, etc) in those two countries you mentioned, you have no reason to apply from there. You most likely would end up with same blue paper -or whatever colour their own denial paper is.
I think you should work more on your home country ties, get more travel experience before re-applying.
