VisaOfficer:



Yes, you can apply for a non-immigrant visa anywhere in the world (that has an NIV Unit, anyway). It may be harder for an officer in another country to make a firm decision, because he or she may not know very much about Nigeria and may not feel equipped to understand your context. But if you can convince the officer that you will respect the terms of the visa, you'll be fine.

THANKS. I SEND MY LOVE AND BEST WISHES.

VisaOfficer: The North Carolina police say: "thank you for your online report. in order to complete the report we will need his full name, dob, address, etc and also how much money was lost ?"

Could you send that information to LagosIV@state.gov, and I'll forward it to them (and cc you)? Put NORTH CAROLINA SCAM in the subject line so I can find it easily. Thanks!

Yeah, I know, I was pretending to be vaguely somewhere in West Africa, to stay as anonymous as possible. For something like this, I'll go ahead and admit I'm in Nigeria. You all knew that anyway.

HAHAHAHAAHAHA. I HAVE CAUGHT YOU. BUT ITS ALL FOR GOOD. I KNEW YOU RESIDE IN WITHIN CAUSE THE INFOMATIONS YOU PROVIDE ARE TOO APPLICABLE TO US AND TOO BENEFICIAL. THANKS FOR THE HELP YOU ARE RENDERING. BELIEVE ME, WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW YOU IN PERSON CAUSE THE INFORMATIONS AND ASSISTANCE YOU PROVIDE FOR US HERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH AND ITS VERY COSTLY OUT THERE, WHILE U PROVIDE IT FREE OF CHARGE TO US. WITH ALL THESE INFORS AND KNOWLEDGE AM GETTING FROM YOU, AM CONFIDENT OF GETTING VISA AS FAR AS I TELL THE TRUTH AND INFORMATION PROVIDED CAN BE TRACED AND LINK TO EACH OTHER.

BUT MY QUESTION IS: CAN SOMEONE WHO IS USING A TEMPORARY RESIDENT PERMIT LIKE WORK PERMIT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR A NON IMMIGRANT VISA TO US IN THAT COUNTRY THOUGH ORIGINALLY FROM NIGERIA BUT NOT RESIDING IN NIGERIA AT THE MOMENT?

THANKS FOR THE MANY HELP.

Raahym: DEAR VO,

REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP HERE.
I AM A WORKING DAD IN SOUTH AFRICA. I RECENTLY APPLIED FOR A NON-IMMIGRANT VISA TO THE UNITED STATE ON THE REQUEST OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER AFTER WE HAVE VISITED THE UNITED KINGDOM AND OTHER ASIAN COUNTRIES AND WE WERE REFUSED. BEFORE NOW IN 2002 I HAD APPLIED FOR A STUDY PERMIT AT THE US EMBASSY IN LAGOS AND WAS REFUSED BUT I HONESTLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS BEEN THAT MY STATUS HAS CHANGED AND ITS BEEN A LONG TIME THUS FORGOT TO MENTION IT IN THE NEW APPLICATION AND THE VISA OFFICER MADE REFRENCE TO THIS AND REFUSED MY ENTIRE FAMILY BASED ON THIS, HE SAID AND I QUOTE "I HAVE DOUBTS"

PLEASE ADVICE AS WE INTEND TO APPLY AGAIN IN APRIL NEXT YEAR FOR OUR 5TH YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. WHAT CHANCES DO WE HAVE AND HOW DO WE APPROACH?

Plz My brother, are you using a South African passport or Nigerian passport with Temporary resident permit or permanent resident? Plz reply cause i wish to know as the US EMBASSY in South Africa has refused to accpet application from a friend of mine here in South Africa cause he is using a permit.

CFCfan: Lol. That could be the case.

On the airport, I believe the 'mega' carriers such as Emirates or even British Airways, will wait till the new terminal is completed before they move in. The present doemstic terminal can't possibly handle 7 large plane loads of passengers.

Let the Emirate, British airways wait till Ethiopia made all the money. They are waiting for others to do the Job for them so that it will be easy for them to fly. The truth is that, if you use emirate or British airways to Lagos, you will still have to spend a day in Lagos before heading to east spending more money for that matter. This Ethiopia airline that probably will not make much money at the initial stage need to be supported even when other airlines flies to the coal city airport.

Abagworo: Sometimes I feel ashamed of being Igbo going by some shameful writings I often see on Nairaland. I however doubt your origin because Imolites are quite intelligent. You've been trying to sew a seed of discord or create a non-existent PDP-Igbo relationship. Okorocha is in APC and not PDP.

That guy is right. We are not talking of party here. He simply said that if such things like a big infrastructure were to be in North, you will clearly see okorocha there. We don't want to know the party anyone belongs to but we simply want our cities to develop. What imo governor is doing might have made him not to be speaking with the president and this is very bad cause for the development of the state. Let us leave party issues here and put the interest of the region first of all things. i guess he is not more intelligent than perter obi who is still not in the same party with the president but still appears wen the interest of the region is on ground. Remember that we need the federal government to build the INTERNATIONAL CARGO TERMINAL AT IMO STATE, but i wonder how such will be achieved with the attitude of the present governor. He is presently trying to put the state against all igbos in the name of politics. even the previous governor was in great touch with his igbo governors. Why do he tend to present things as if the state or himself is against all igbos? For not appearing in saturday event, he has certainly made fool of himself and no igbo person should support him

Am at work now but I manage to track the second flight to Enugu, it is on its way. Very nice work. The exposure is coming gradually to all igbo cities. I don't care about state. But I only want to know why imo governor has choose to ignore good things to our region in d name of politics. I do indeed applaud the 4 governors who showed commitment and disregarding politics to put d interest of the region first.

CFCfan: What do u guys think of the vision of this Igbo Council of Europe. I find their plans exciting:
http://igbocouncilofeurope.org/the-african-tiger/employment-generation/infrastructure/

Its a very nice plan if it will work. I loved wat I saw nor matter in which igbo city it is but I guess from d plan, development will be in all cities of igbo land

hahshhoohohohahaha

JW are good people. They live in accordance with Bible principles, obeying God's laws and the law of the land whereever they are. JW are honest cause they live by what they teach and what they preach. i will also Admit that there are few among them that find it difficult to live with those standards. Yes they are imperfect and may not meet up to required standard just like all of us do fall in many ways.

There are somethings you guys need to understand. The most high and Almighty God had rebellious sons or angels. Jesus Christ who is the second most high in the universe had a rebellious friend or apostle who betrayed him. Then won't it be logical to expect rebellious sons and daughters among imperfect humans? i guess that is the reason our lord said that we must not judge others. What we need to do is play our part to what is good. Contribute your part to doing good. but do not discourage one who is tying to be good.

If this girl in question is playing honesty, play along with her. Be honest yourself. Honesty is the best way to life. it can help you when you are not around. people can defend you to any extent because of your honesty. i have seen where this happens and interestingly, the person who the people there branded honest man is one of JW. I was so impressed.

so let your attitude speak for you. Be Honest yourself and don't criticize, gossip, slander one who is TRYING to be honest.

more pix please

Great news. We are very pleased. Help pass the massage to our sons and daughters to fly to Enugu direct. We will eventually get there soon. Our great journey has just begin.

Men you are doing a great job. keep the camera rolling please please please. So all this people actually want to board the plane?

adaobi123: When the likes of British airways or virgin start flying to enugu, notify me

Adaobi, just make sure you continue to use the one you use. If we succeed to popularize Enugu, i know you will be the first to book.

adaobi123: Yaaaaay

Adaobi, honestly you are my sister but you should apologize to your igbo brothers and sisters for wanting to fly to Lagos because of money. Hahahahahahaha

hillsate: An Ethopian flight that was forcefully re-routed to land in Enugu just to prove a point leaving the passengers stranded.
Shame!

you are sick. you and your poeple never wanted the progress of these region. one day, they will be the best of all region. change is constant.

CFCfan: 1 min left. I'm in California.

Men you disappointed me. why you didn't tell us on time. I thought you went with big camera men to do the job. hahahahahaha

macjive01: passengers disembarking.

Ethiopian air might need to increase the frequency

Keep the updates coming. Roll your camera more as you are doing. you may later upload them to us. Thanks..

macjive01: Nwachinaemelu ‏@cchukudebelu 15m

Peter Obi also claimed there were close to 200 passengers on the inaugural flight. People came from Rome, Dubai etc.

Peter Obi claims that Ethiopian Airlines from Enugu is already fully booked for two weeks.

Continue to brief us my brother. Thank you very much. Am very happy and pleased with what you have done. it makes us seem as we are there live just because of the updates./

Igbo Delta: PLEASE SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!!! DONT SPOIL OUR JOY WITH YOUR UNNECESSARY PESSIMISM. THE INSTALLATION OF NIGHT LIGHTING AND THE AIRPORT RUNWAY EXPANSION HAVE GOTTEN TO A VERY ADVANCED STAGE. KEEP YOUR DISRUPTIVE TANTRUMS TO YOURSELF

Take it easy. We are all brothers. 3 minutes left. CfcFan, arrange your camera men very well.

5 minutes left. I feel the joy in our hearts.

Coal city brothers, keep your cameras rolling. 33 minutes left for the flight to land. Am tracking it here.


flightaware.com/#live/flight/ETH931/history/20130824/0700Z/HAAB/DNEN

I just tracked it, 38 minutes left to land. This is very good. Arroba, makaboy, Cfcfan, spyder, Joe and others, those who are in coal city, keep you cameras rolling.

ARROBA: The flight is currently in Cameroon Airspace. I am tracking the flight. 56 minutes more to Enugu.

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ETH931

Arroba my broda, am sure you are at that airport live. All our hope is in you right now.

Plz our coal city brothers, keep the cameras and videos rolling today at the airport. DO NOT DISAPPOINT US. We are waiting with great anticipation and eagerness. Do not rely on the cameras of the media. Use yours and get as many as possible. Today is the D day. In fact, by 12pm, activities in the airport will be interesting to see. So capture all the captivating sights and seens. We rejoice with u our brothers in coal city and east as a whole

ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING. THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED YOU ON THE PHONE JUST LIKE THEY WILL IF THEY OVER PAY YOU. WHILE WAIT TILL YOU COM. NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR ME AT ALL.

wow

mekaboy: No need to trivialize things or sound like lagos or lagosians r ur enemies. Jst say as long as enugu airport is convenient for you, you won't need to go to lagos.

Hahahaha. You are right. But answer me, what can you say of someone who withhold your right just because he is benefiting from you. OBJ should have done this airport when he stayed 8 years in office. i guess he saw bad business for Lagos. I don't have anything against Lagos cause i do use it but i don't like the seems and i guess it happens that way cause we centralized everything there thus making too much money for one state. Anyway, we need other regions to develop as well not only one place.

It will be bad if no one of us capture the sights and seens of the arrival and departure of these Ethiopia airline. There is great anticipation and our people are curious to know how it all went. Guys in coal city, plz don't disappoint us.

I tried again to know how things are going but I saw that our ppl has not disappointed. They are booking and booking cause I saw some seats has been taken. One interesting thing is that in any part of the world u want to go and arrive from, this Ethiopia will take u there or bring u home. Its so encouraging to me. So I wish to state that I will not step a foot in Lagos as far as Ethiopia or any other airline flies to Enugu international airport. Let the celebrations begin
