Now Dollar is N360 and Andrew is dead. Andrew eventually listened and stayed but died due poor healthcare and Charlaton Pastors in the same country.

If only Enebeli Enebeluwa checked out, he may have been alive today!

Who is leading this initiative from the Columbia University Side?

Stuff like this requires joint briefings between the state, the federal agency and the univeristy.

ManirBK:
The Kebbi State
Government is partnering with the Federal Government under the Solid Minerals Development Fund (SMDF) on formalization of Artisinal Miners in the State for Gold production with the support of Columbia University, New York, USA.

The Governor, Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu in a meeting with SMDF led by Hajia Fatima Shinkafi and Columbia University on March 21 in Abuja stated that his administration is supporting a pilot programme to organise & support miners to give them better technology and an available market. The pilot programmes approved by President Buhari will commence in Kebbi & Osun States.


The Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs Team will aid the SMDF in fulfilling its objectives by developing a report that analyzes the challenges preventing formalization of Artisanal & Small Scale Mining (ASM) in Nigeria and suggests ways for the SMDF to incentivize formalization through a strategic use of its capital resources.

A world bank report puts the outflow of illegally mined gold leaving Nigeria at $500m a year. This represents a huge revenue loss for both State and Federal governments in addition to environmental degradation to farming communities and pollution of waterways for people and livestock.

Special focus will be placed on how the SMDF can work with other institutions in accordance with section 34 of the 2007 Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act to register formalize operators and how the SMDF can leverage its financial capital to provide funding and/or services to support the ASM value chain.


Governor Bagudu reiterated his administrations continued focus on creating jobs and support for the diversification of the economy which is a priority of the Buhari administration. It can be recalled that the Governor is an alumnus of Columbia University where he obtained his M.A in International Affairs.

Let me tell you what's new!

Nigeria has surpassed India in the global poverty index

INFOBIZ3:
That was our position before Buhari administration.. so what's new

Just trying to lighten the mood though.

Joking

I heard Mexico has finally agreed to pay for the whole wall but only at the original boundary with the USA.

That means that for those of us who gave birth or are planning to give birth in Texas, our children are going to be Mexicans!

Anyone still with recent info on visa on arrival for baby?
I sent in an email to the address on NIS website and I am yet to get a reply.

Would appreciate support here cos we have already paid for ticket to return to Naija next week Tuesday.

At this point would doing a Naija passport scale through?

Good afternoon everyone.

in the spirit of giving back, I arrived ATL on the 19th of Nov at about 1pm.

No fit to fly was asked at LOS and also in Amsterdam.
I travelled at 35 weeks 4 days and I used the wheel chair service. In Amsterderm, I was taken to the lounge cos my layover was 3hrs 45mins. it was very comfy I slept till the wheel chair attendant came to wake me up and took me to the gate. everything was easy and stressfree.

we had an 8hrs 40 mins flght to ATL. KLM was very stingy with water and drinks unlike qatar and turkish airline.

I used the wheel chair service in ATL too in 5mins I was infront of the CBP officer.

He askd what am in the U.S for noting that I was in the U.S in July.
I told him that i came in then for holiday with my family but that am here now to have my baby. He looked at me properly and said he did not know I was pregnant. I just smiled.

He asked if I had spoken with any doctor and if I had made arrangements, I told him yes and showed him my appointment letter from the doctor and correspondence from the hospital.

He asked how much cash I had and where I worked and I told him. I asked if I should show him the cash, he said no that he believes me.

He told me he knows the hospital am using and we chatted for a while. he stamped me in for six months and wished ma a safe delivery.
he was very friendly.

ATL was breeze but my dried pomo and maggie chicken was siezed at secondary inspection.

Am greatful to God!!

Am so happy for you. You see, the wheel chair was very useful to ease your stress.

Thank God for your life.

Wish you safe delivery and every...

Hello House.

Has anyone applied for visa on arrival to Nigeria for baby recently? How did it go?

cutie333:
Good morning house,
please I will be travelling to Atl in a week's time at 35 weeks 4days.
I need advice from the house.
is it ok for me to book wheelchair services or will it create unnecessarry attention at POE and on transit at frankfurt.

The reason I want to opt for the wheel chair service is that for the past 2 weeks I have been having severe pelvic pain especially when standing to walk from one place to another after sitting or lying down. It can be so painful that I might find it difficult to even move my legs for about a minute or so.

Please anyone with this experience that have also travelled should kindly share. I will appreciate your advice too

Your health should be First priority and so I suggest you use a wheelchair.
You would draw attention obviously but that's normal.

We ordered a wheel chair for Air France from Abuja airport at 33 weeks even though we didnt have the pain you complain about.

Tried to get boarding pass online but they only checked us in and said to present the check-in document at the counter. At counter air france ticketer (Naija)asked why we ordered wheel chair and we told him it was for convenience should there be a long queue on transit stops. He asked for doctors approval to fly doc and we showed him. We were.asked to go to port bealth and it was a checked ok and we moved on.

After that, from Abuja to US, nobody even worried about us. Naija didn't even provide wheel chair. It was when we landed ATL that wheel chair was ready for us. That wheel chair was why we didn't miss our connecting flight that day as it seemed the whole world landed at ATL at the same time and we were given prioroty.

Don't know.about your case but you need to live first before any other aspiration.

All the best as you decide

I feel your pain. Let me see if my contribution can help you the next time you apply.

Check the following:
1. Ensure your purpose of travel aligns with what the country allows legally. E.g: tourism, schooling, medical, work, seminar/conference, entrepreneurship. Each of these has their own requirements

2. Proof of funds. Do you have the money to cater to your needs while in that country? Show your original bank statements

3. Lodging. Did you book a hotel or are you staying with someone? Show hotel booking or proof of residence from your host

4. Invitation letter. From host

5. Proof of what you do in Nigeria. ( payslips, business documents etc)

6. Ties to Nigeria ( so they know you won't run away). Your job, business, family

7. Travel history ( if any)

8. Be honest. Honesty pays.

9. Pray

Dear House,

Please help.

Can the notary at the US embassy be done before the birth of the baby? Or must it be after the birth of the baby? Would they need the baby's birth date of birth during the Notary process at the embassy?

Your urgent reaponse will be highly appreciated.

Thank u

They need the baby's date of birth during your notary process at the embassy.

Besides how can you swear to a baby that is not even born yet? From a legal perspective I believe that person does not exist yet. That could be dicey.

I would rather advice you wait for the baby's arrival then swear for the baby before a notary.

Hello House,
Does anyone have experience with requesting emergency appointment?
We are.scheduled for 17th Sept in Abuja but would love to move to an earlier date So we can travel earlier. EDD is 4-5 weeks from visa interview date

priceaction:
Nice attempt, but you can also use blender of smaller size to do the job and save you stress if you know how to. How do u expect our women to carry this thing to their house and still buy fuel, pay for servicing on top of 100 naira bitter leaves?
And if it multipurpose, it will be , lets assume,market friendly but if only restricted to bitter leaves then, it will be useless in the long run because not everyone like or eat bitter leaves.
To me it is just another nice attempt but in the long run likely useless.

The women don't need to buy it, rather all the women can bring their bitter leaves to a service center for an industrial scale processing. Economy of scale plus lots of industrial fluid washed out.

A blender would not separate the water like this one would.

This is an industrial scale machine at the initial stage of innovation.

1 simple question...Does the building have a lightening arrestor?

It actually shows that the guy doesnt understand science. The law of aerodynamics does not annul gravity. The gravitational pull is still there and constantly acting on any obect in flight and on ground. Heck it is keeping the whole earth in orbit and the planets and galaxies.

Some bloke.comes out to talk nonsense using scientific laws he doesnt understand to support a religious conviction e has not thoroughly researched.

Euouae:
Can you please proof the bolden assertion Cos you simply just made no point.

You found him out right.

Afonjaaaaaaaaaa! Bad belle can kill, face barren gbongan

The only valid application is the one with CV sent to that HR email address and nothing else.
All the other online applications are not from Tenaris.
