These were the old requirements. There's a current guidelines in operation today which is different.

How long exactly is this visa valid for?

Passports picked up today at VFS Port Harcourt.

Visa granted. I and wifey given multiple entries. To enter on or before 30th June 2025.

toluFernandez:
When did you submit your application please?

January 21st

Another mail just came in that the application is on transit from Lagos Operation Center to Visa Application Centre in Nigeria.

The lady at VFS Port Harcourt said I should come pick up our passports by Tuesday.

I just received an email from VFS that my processed application is in transit from the Consulate General of South Africa to the Lagos Operations Centre in Nigeria.

What does this even mean?

My supposed trip for which is applied for the tourist visa on 22nd January was supposed to be on Thursday 10th of April and up until now I haven't received nothing. At this point, I'll just retrieve our passports once I get back to Port Harcourt

gateleo:
Not yet..it's exactly two months today

Mine will be 2 months by Friday.

gateleo:
Pls can you ask her the procedure to retrieve my passport before decision is made? I need my passport urgently..it's almost two months now that I applied.

Just apply to VFS that you intend to retrieve your passport. Note that you will forfeit your visa application if you do.

Spoke to the lady in charge at VFS here in Port Harcourt and she was complaining bitterly about the delays. She further said the current info from the High Commission is that they are short on staff as most core are on leave. Sounded like a load of bulls to me though.

My contact says they are only treating applications for official trips for now since the server mishap. Port Harcourt has been receiving not more than two applications per day since last week. According to him, only one application came back yesterday and it was for an official application made two weeks back.

I was informed by a VFS staff here in Port Harcourt that they had a major server downtime in Lagos the entire past week but it has now been rectified. The downtime was the reason for the hold up. He asked me to expect updates from this week.

rowlandwhy:
But they no longer collect passports along with the applications.
They will only ask for your passport when the visa decision has been made.

This is not true please. I submitted mine and my spouse's along with our passports and three other applicants before us did the same thing. The choice is actually yours and they will let you know. At least I was told so at VFS in Port Harcourt. You will also get to sign a waiver for them to keep your passport for at least 21 days. If for any reason you ask for your passport back before expiry of the 21 days, you forfeit your application.

Submitted two applications for wife and I at VFS Port Harcourt on 22nd January 2025. Last update was 3 days later that applications are undergoing processing at Consulate General of South Africa in Lagos. Nothing else till now.

richmond500:
I have seen comments of people who do not understand the case, here is what happened.

Governor Fubara had withdrawn the case yesterday against Martins Amewhule and others, by this withdrawal, it shows that the appeal court judgement that Amaewhule is the authentic speaker still stands and Fubara was fined N2m.
You may want to ask why the governor withdraw the case? Ofcos everyone who has followed the case knows why but I won't talk on that.
Now there is another case in federal high court in Rivers state following the defection of the speakers, Supreme court has nothing to do with this case, cos the case today was about authentic speaker and not defection.
So in the coming days, expect the federal court to sack Amaewhule and his friends, and if this judgement happens, it automatically means the supreme court ruling will not be obeyed.

The case is far from over

STOP POSTING RUBBISH.

The appeal that was withdrawn had to do with the propriety of Fubara presenting the 2024 budget to the 4 man House of Assembly. The 2024 Budget expired on 31st December 2024 and there's a 2025 budget duely passed and currently being operated now in the state. The implication is that any issue based on the 2024 budget has been overtaken by events and is no longer a live issue. Such issues have become merely academic since that particular 2024 budget is no longer operative and has been replaced by the 2025 budget. Since courts in Nigeria do not deal with hypothetical or academic issues, the appeal serves no useful purpose and Fubara's lawyers who filed the appeal in the first place did the needful and withdrew it before it was dismissed.

Please everyone, I am having an issue. How do I do I get the hotel reservation without using third party booking. All I tried online refers me to third party like Agoda. Has anyone done hotel reservation recently and the visa was approved? Please drop your details or help me out. I want to apply at port Harcourt centre.

Secondly must I get the flight booking ID for the fight booking? I did not pay for the fight but just printed the booking summary without payment, but this doesn't have booing id . Please help out

Ahh me i know fakes abound in the market these days. They fake these oils even from abroad and package them before exporting and It’s easier to distinguish the Nigerian fakes from the foreign ones. This unhealthy practice became rampant circa 4 years ago.

Now me I use the mobil semi synthetic for two oil changes and then use the full synthetic for one oil change. I keep cycling it like that so that the full synthetic can at least clean some crud in the engine once in a while. It helps my pocket and the engine in the long run.

Me I can’t come and kill myself oh

I try to stick to full synthetic to avoid stories that touch. I ran my 09 2AZ Camry from when I got it at 78k to 215k on full synthetic and the engine remained pristine and sludge free. The Honda came at 32k genuine miles so it’s full synthetic for me. Engine too cost, I can’t shout

luvinhubby:
And you trust those Syrians??

I am a newbie to this Honda business but when I was on Toyota, they never disappointed me plus the caliber of equipment in their garage and their technical know how shows they know what they are doing. So yeah, I do trust them.

I have been on NL since 2005 and I know you are one of the top Honda heads on this platform so I’d also take your word for it but where I reside, the fake lubricant business is like crack cocaine in Harlem back in the 70s. Every one is making a killing of it at the detriment of the consumers.

That said, give me a quote for the Honda oil plus filter and waybill to PH so I’ll get from you for my next service.

GreekDon:
Please what's the name of this Garage? You seem quite confident of them.( Hope it is not that Honda Place at Trans Amadi)

Speed Autos. It’s just behind Cheers Bar and before the Redeemed Church on Abacha Road. Once you pass Enclave, it’s on the left.

luvinhubby:
The cost of genuine 0W20 Ultimate(long life) full synthetic oil is N35,000 for gallon

I saw a lot of this in the market when I was looking around for oils but I didn’t trust the authenticity.

Conner44:
Wow nice. I’ve never tried these total oils before.

But if I had 37k to spend on engine oil I’d have gotten mobil 1 instead so far it’s original. I trust their brand.

My mechanics are Syrians and they categorically advised me to stick to Total oils. According to them, 90% of Mobil and other imported foreign lubricants sold in the Nigerian open market are fake. These guys have been in the business for over two decades here in PH and they have no affiliation whatsoever to Total (at least to the best of my knowledge). Before now, it was Castrol 5W30 for my Toyota back to back for 7 years.

Conner44:
Don’t worry, the car will love you back

High end synthetic oil costs around N30k
High grade conventional costs around N15k

Please what specific type of engine oil do you use that costs the N23k you usually spend in buying it?

LOL! I just serviced my '15 Accord with Total Synthetic Future 0W20. The oil alone cost me 37k at Total Service Centre at Slaughter, Port Harcourt.

KIndly give me a quote for these two links to Lagos and onwards to Port Harcourt

Mata is quite finished! Why is Ole dragging his retirement?

Maybe we are watching different games. Not the Mata that I'm watching please!

Telles has been shit in this game!

This team isn't ready!

This Damsgaard boy must move to a bigger club after this tournament. He’s been magnificent so far!

Manchester United have had their contract offer accepted by Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.

The France international is eager to leave the Bernabeu for a new challenge this summer with his deal now having less than a year to run.

ABC reports Varane has agreed personal terms with United, with the 2018 World Cup winner poised to pocket £10million a year once the transfer officially goes through.

It's also claimed the player wants everything sorted within the next two weeks so he can link up with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side for pre-season training.

Anyone having an old eBay account from 2018 below should contact me

I have a 2014 account. What do you need it for?

shadeyinka:
The father is very very correct. In a Christian wedding, wedding is complete only AFTER ALL the wedding rites have been performed.
If there is no other wedding rites after the traditional wedding, the man is allowed to take home his wife. However, if the wedding rites still remain a church ceremony, then the wedding ceremony is NOT complete and the man should wait.

The father is correct!

The situation is different if the couple do not intend to do any church wedding ceremony, then the traditional wedding will be their own FINAL wedding rites.

Hope it makes sense

NO YOU DIDNT MAKE AN IOTA OF SENSE.
