Go countries like Canada or USA no get car now na die you go die. What you said is only applicable in countries like Netherlands and most parts of Europe.

Anyway I’m saying based on what I saw when I visited Europe and I thought is same in USA and Canada, honestly buying a car in Europe is a waste of resources.

90% of them can not afford flight ticket back home especially the married ones,western world is rigged in such a way that they can make you live like Dangote and make you believe you are wealthy but the time you pay all the bills,you will be left with few dollars,you won’t even have anything left to send people at home,I am talking about people earning legitimately
You buy a big while earning $4500 plus wife salary a month
You buy a big car for wife
Big care for yourself
Children going to school
Everything on mortgages
By the time you pay everything you are left with nothing

Who said they buy big cars for the wife and himself ??
Abroad don’t leave life like Nigerians. They have good transportation systems sometimes they do not consider cars as a necessity plus the cost attached to owning a car like insurance etc .
The problem is too much bills and tax which most of us don’t pay here.

With all the noise Politicians are still not defecting to LP party because they are not stupid. They are not blind, they can see the writing on the wall.
I will be shocked if Obi wins Anambra state.

We must not forget that the presidential campaign hasn’t started yet, just wait still around December to witness the power of a sensible campaign noise from all around the country. The gala sellers (the LP nuisance/ senseless noise makers) will be consumed alive when the time is right.

E go shock you come 2023 . I will advise you to get shock absorber E GET WHY. Be OBIdient and Yusful

Righteousness2:
This ekweremadu's daughter's case is a moi- moi case for the God of Chosen.

Unfortunately, Some people do not value what God has given to humanity in these Endtimes via The Lord's Chosen and so they keep rigmaroling around.

I Have seen God of Chosen give women with damaged and removed womb their babies.

I Have seen people with Medically certified dead kidneys get new ones by just a simple prayer

I Have seen people with cancerous cancers have it terminated from their bodies by just an encounter with this Great God of Chosen.

I Have seen people with All manners of terminal sickness , Diseases and problems made whole without too much grammar.

I myself have received incredible and unimaginable miracles. I Remember I used to have a very terrible Heart defect that defiled all medications. But God of Chosen Healed me.
Medically speaking, my wife should not be able to conceive talkless of carrying a baby. But the Great GOD of Chosen, the Only Good GOD crushed all medical grammars, gave us a baby and carried the baby for 9 months without us knowing.

Listen! What GOD cannot do! Does not Exist. It is not a poem or mere talk. It is Real!
GOD has given the world something Special and Heavenly via Nigeria and The Lord's Chosen. It is not by grammar or long stories. Let us make use of what GOD has given Us.

Is your god of chosen only work in a designated location? Can’t your god of chosen send the miracle healing to where she is .
Please help me tell god chosen to crush Bokoharam , headsmen and bandits causing insecurity in Nigeria. Biko

HappyRabbi:
I have observed with keen interest the recent waves of defections and cross carpeting from APC TO PDP and vice Versa, even in some states like Oyo and Osun states, Bigwig politicians are defecting to parties like Accord and ADC,

However, with the way Peter Obis Obidient movement is sweeping across the board, taking over mainstream social media space, nobody, not even a lightweight politician has dumped his party for Labor Party, even in the southeast where he came from. Could this mean the Obidients still have a lot of homework to do? Just want to know as a political observer

They do not need defection to Labour Party to vote Obi . They Will secretly vote OBI this I have seen . Shame no go allow them defects but in their mind they are OBIdient :~)

FROM THE ARCHIVES:

The Story Of Attah Ameh Oboni - the Nigerian King who Chose Suicide Instead of Bowing to the Queen of England.

Attah Ameh Oboni was a revered Igala King.

At a particular Meeting held in Kaduna which consisted of all paramount traditional rulers in Nigeria and which had the Queen of England in attendance, Attah Ameh was asked to remove his cap to greet the Queen of England as others had done.

Though he refused until they said he should leave the Meeting if he would not remove his cap. But Attah was not like others, or was he?

It was a taboo for Attah to remove his cap in the public.
He grudgingly succumbed and removed his reverted Cap and immediately, the entire hall where they were staying was occupied by a swam of bees which emanated from the cap of Attah Ameh Oboni which he removed in order to greet the Queen.

The Queen of England as well as other Rulers in the meeting ran helter-skelter except the friendly Oba of Benin who was asked by Attah Ameh to go out before he removed his cap.
The hall became empty as some were stung by the bees and the meeting ended.

According to history, Attah Ameh Oboni was asked to be arrested and handcuffed by the Queen's Guards, which they did, but the handcuffs fell off his hands.

He was later locked up in a room on the instruction of the Northern rulers and guarded by the security personnel but only to find out later by the Security personnels that he had left the room.
Yes, when the security were taking him to be locked up, he told his driver, Amanabo (of blessed memory), to take the car and be going to Idah while the security locked him in the room.

He then warned Amanabo not to look back until he felt a cool breeze in the car. Though Amanabo argued a little that he cannot leave the Attah there but later obeyed and started driving back to Idah from Kaduna.

After some time, he felt the cool breeze in the car, and Attah Ameh was sitted inside the car.

The incident in the meeting made many traditional rulers which were mostly Northerners to be angry especially making other Kings run in such a manner because of bees.

This became one important sin and it was like “one sin too many”.

The Queen of Englnad was also not happy and they (the Queen and Northern leaders) started looking for a way to remove Attah Ameh from the throne since he was getting tougher and uncontrollable like others, as well as searching for an obedient replacement.

Igala has various cultural festivals, one of which is Ocho. Ocho is celebrated before farming starts, and it is the time that Attah Igala prays to God for sufficient rainfall, bountiful harvest, success in hunting. It is celebrated in the bush and the venue is called Ere-ocho, where the Attah will hunt until he kills a Buffalo or a strong animal. The community in Idah where Ocho takes place is called Ogo-Efa. He performs a little sacrifice to the ancestors using a fowl in the process, and this was to find out if there will blessings or problems in the land after the Ocho.

Before this time, the enemies at home (among the Igala people), especially those having connections with the leaders of the Northern Region, were working hard to get any evidence either true or false which can be used to remove him from the throne. The blood of the animal used as sacrifice at Ocho ground now became what the enemies would use against him.

Petition was written by these two Igala people to the Queen and some other Northern leaders that Attah Ameh was sacrificing humans during the Ocho festivals. Since they were looking for any means to displace him with, judgment was quickly passed that he must be dethroned, even when investigations were not yet concluded.

In addition, all the Igala cultural festivals including the Ocho were immediately banned and this remained for almost 63 years until Governor Yahaya Bello unbanned them based on the appeal of the present Attah Igala.

Already, before this time, the Oba of Benin who had such friction with the British had already been dethroned and banished from Benin. So, Attah Ameh Oboni knew that at that point, no matter what spiritual approach applied, it can only postpone the evil day as his enemies will never relent until he was removed by them.

The result of the blood sample which was taken from the Ocho venue and taken to University of Ibadan for analysis had arrived and it was proved that it was the blood of an animal and not human. Sadly, the revered King, Attah Ameh had passed on before the result was brought.

But Attah Ameh, being very sure that he was wrongly accused and framed up by his enemies, especially those from Igala who wrote the petition against him marking the beginning of his planned dethronement, made some pronouncements before his death.

He was allegedly quoted to have said that ” the person who wrote the petition against him would have that hand dried up, and that the leader of the gang or petitioners would be buried three times”. And they all came to pass.

While the hand dried as said, the other was buried as stated, first was the leg, second was his hand and the third was himself, all buried at various times at different locations.

In addition, as this information of his dethronement was given to him in a meeting from where he was supposed to go back to Idah and prepare to leave the throne, he stopped on the way in another Igala land called Dekina.

That was where he committed suicide.

Before taking his life, he was allegedly quoted to have said that the town, Dekina will be popular but its development will not be as much as its popularity.

He was also quoted to have said that because Igala was the genesis of his ordeal, there will be disunity among the Igala people until the reign of his own blood (son) as Attah, and all Igalas irrespective of their locations will be reunited again.

I think from the reconnection and reunification of Igala people across Nigeria and beyond which has been going on and still going on under the reign of his son, Agabaidu Idakwo Ameh Oboni II, the present Attah Igala, that pronouncement of reunification of Igala people is also coming through.

Once you have submitted the Ds160 form . You can't make any amendment to the form. You can send an email to the embassy or consulate to update them on your new passport. But on the day of the appointment you will need to go with the old passport you used when submitting your Ds160 together with the new passport. If the visa is approved the embassy will attach it to the new passport. Your other option is to fill a new Ds160, which means paying for a new application .
Similar case happened to my colleague he applied for a new b1/b2 visa via interview waiver with a Nigerian passport that had 4months to expire . 2 weeks after submitting the Ds160 he applied for a new passport. While submitting his documents via DHL as required by the consulate, he submitted both passports since the old passport contained his expired b1/b2 visa and other valid Visas and stamps showing travelling history. His visa was approved but the new Visa was attached to the new passport.
So the bottom line is if you included any information regarding the old passport you will need to bring it along with you and even if you misplaced it you will need to get a police report that you misplaced the passport .

I don't think the bolded is not true, we don't pay to fill application form but appointment booking requires your MVR fee payment receipt to gain access as your visa fee since I don't need to book another appointment it will not require another visa fee. Someone suggested here I should fill a new application and update my appointment site with new ds160 and my new passport. which I think is a way forward.
I will still go with my expired passport because I have visas on it to show travel history. I might not need to change the expired passport details but my ds160 should reflect my current travel plan which I do not need to pay to fill a new one. Hope I'm in order,

mrprolifik:
You need to go with both passports. i.e the expired one and the new one. You don't need to make any changes .

I was supposed to attend a conference this year in US and I field my DS160 visa application based on that, but unfortunately I couldn't get appointment date this year but next year January. Since the conference is annual I decide to use the date for next year conference.
Now my question is , even if I should go with both passport, is it necessary I update ds160 detail for the purpose of next year travel and my renewed passport ?

sheunsheun:
Yes, the portal. I did fresh registration rather than renewal. I was surprised to see the information of my old passport on the printout. It’s why i am asking if my application is a renewal or a fresh registration. I need to know so i can prepare the guarantor’s form. My capture date is 19th Sept

You mean you did not add your old passport details , I'm also wondering how it came out because E-Passport was introduced the 2007 that was when your passport expired according to you. Meaning you did not do biometric during the time you did your passport .
I also applied for renewal and the printout shows my old passport details because it required on the form I filled not that it was pooled out by itself on the application portal. Maybe iyou added your expired passport detials when filling the application form because is showing renewal not new passport.
In this case, Since you have done the application you need to go with your expired passport booklet at the biometric day.

Who is this guy
Someone said he is hungry blogger
I need a confirmation please

I did my NIN since 2016 do I need to revalidate my NIN before proceeding to Immigration office for my passport renewal to avoid my NIN not reflecting on their portal.
Secondly if yes can I do the revalidate on the NIMC App ?

sheunsheun:
I tried to apply for renewal but the portal wasn’t accepting my passport number(incomplete, because it’s a very old passport, expired 2007). I then proceeded to apply for a new one. However i was surprised to see my old passport information on my new application. Does it mean i am renewing?

Are you talking of NIS application portal ? How did you pool out this information if yes .

Charmray:

Have you ever used another person information to get a passport? This is most likely the cause of the problem.

KangaIye:
They will return it back to you after capturing

Okay

KangaIye:
From front desk, you will be directed to the next office, you can go to the PCO office too. But you will still be directed back to the front desk.

Application letter that will printed when you get there (from business centers) some centers prefer it written.

relax,while Payoneer buy at 430/$. Assume ,you sell 100$ to Payoneer they will send 43,000 to your dorm account and 43,000 is not upto $100 even if you sell at 680/$ that's why you need good exchanger like me

Payoneer don’t convert dollar to be withdrawn to dollar account this can only happen to those who use their Naira account to withdraw from Payoneer therefore Payoneer use their conversion rate for dollar to Niara . I withdraw to my dollar account and exact amount I have on my Payoneer in dollar after Payoneer charges is what I get into my dollar account and I withdraw from my dom account and sell to aboki rate . So market those who don’t withdraw with dom account.

Linzo:
Good evening everyone. I'm having a little concerned with receiving fund from payoneer to my GTB dormicillary account.

Each time I make withdrawal from payoneer to my GTB dormicillary account, I will get alert of $10 less of what I withdrew from payoneer.

Note: this is not payoneer charge, for example last week I withdrew $989 and payoneer charged me $18 for service charge and also send me the receipt. But I receiving alert of $961 instead of $971.

This has been happening every month, I have contacted payoneer, they said I should contact my bank. And went to my branch to complain and still they said I should contact the sender. Well, I wonder who is the sender than me.

Please house, who has had similar experience? Is it normal or someone is taking my money. I have not been able to make withdrawal for my last month earning which is above $1k because of fear of what of this.

The $10 extra charges is from your bank not from Payoneer. I use my Ecobank dom account to withdraw from my Payoneer with no extra charges outside Payoneer charge. Bank can only charge me for withdrawal from bank, I discovered anytime I withdraw from bank I get commission change between $0.01 to $0.15 depending on the amount I withdrawn. Payoneer do inform their client that some bank do change for deposite outside payoneer charges so it depend on the bank you use.
