Dear @abujaniv,

I am Nigerian and I plan to travel to San Jose, Costa Rica and I will transit via George Bush International Airport in Houston.

I will like to know if I need a transit visa.

If yes, what is the cost of the visa? Do I need to do an interview at the embassy for the visa? What documents do I need to apply for the visa and how long before I get the visa.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I am presently at Alagbon.

It is best you come here to do it yourself. It takes an hour and costs 6k. They only need your name, tribe, race, passport number, where issued and date of issue. Finally your finger prints.

They are forensic experts so they know how to take the prints.

Hi guys,

I am visiting SA next month with my wife. We were in SA in 2014, we went clean and back. Now I want to ask a couple of questions.

1. How easy is it to reapply? Do we get quicker easier service since we visited about 2 years ago?

2. I am thinking we should apply for multiple entry since we will have reasons to visa SA frequently? Is this reasonable? Is multiple entry more expensive than single entry?

3. When we visited in 2014, I was the one that was invited, but I got the organizers of the conference to get my wife her own invitation letter. This time, my wife was invited and I do not have an invitation letter. Of course we will apply as a family, but will my not having an invitation letter spoil my chances of getting the visa?

I look forward to informed responses as we will apply by Friday.

Thank you

Dear Chiscomax,

After dropping my advice, I started reading through other people's advises and I see a trend, almost everyone leaned to the Same side. But I thought this guy's post was instructive, a graduate and what set him aside was that he could drive a manual car. Think Driver. Now if the dude because of this decided to leave, his post will tell you what he would have missed. Be wise bro.

jnizzle:
My advice goes thus....u r very lucky to even learn the electerical aspect that you r currently doing.....wen u finish school, you might not even study wat u learnt in sch......wen I did my IT, I did mine wit a movie production company, my knowledge of driving a manual vechicle was put to use as I was d only 1 who could drive a manual car, I came to learn editing but I learnt more things dan I can imagine.....I still get called by dem years after to do jobs for dem and I get paid for it, let's just say am part of their family nw. So endure.

While I understand your hunger to learn, I am beginning to think it's pride that is pushing you. Your background is mechanical and you are 'learning' electrical, don't you see yourself as a better expert than a pure mechanical person? Do you forget that in 10 years, you could own your own firm and you ca close electrical deals despite been mechanical? Do you know that when you review projects with your subordinates in the next 15 years, the electrical guys cannot bamboozle you with stories and big words from the electrical dictionary? My brother (or sister as the case may be), submit yourself to learn. Learn like an hungry and angry dog, eat all of the knowledge they have to offer you, let them keep their change, whatever they want to pay you cannot buy you more than a couple of Jean trousers. In the next 10 years, you will look back, smile and try calculate how much this 'IT' that students usually carry file about when they do it has earned you and your calculator will scream 'error, error ' because it will surpass your imagination. Learn my bro, learn.

Chiscomax:
I got a placement on the Last week of June, 2016 for my industrial training having completed 3years and a semester of Mechanical Engineering in a prominent Federal University. The I.T placement I got happen to be a project which I believe a lot of money is involved in( this is not my concern anyway).


I have worked with them through some mechanical stages until the site engineer insisted I work with him on electrical engineering jobs which I had to join him because he is a senior colleague after all. 3weeks into the electrical job it started to occur to me that I am;
1. Not gaining mechanical Experience
2. I am being used for most of the work(electrical) by this site engineer since I happen to learn fast and do more than my other colleagues even when they are getting paid and I am not and it is going to 2 months now

I have discussed the issue with the site manager and he promised to talk to the site engineer which I am not certain of he did.


I am fed of everything and the training is becoming frustrating since I am neither Learning what I came for nor getting any pay for doing electrical jobs.

I intend meeting the site manager on Monday to quit if they insist I do the electrical jobs which hectic and comes along side with other mini jobs like digging to lay Cables, climbing of tanks. Please I need your advice

Oun pon bebe le lakisa (you are making unimportant things important). If church no gree, biko go court go to your wedding. God recognizes it, government does. Wetin remain?

This man and his funny look though.

Hi guys, I visited SA in 2014. Left on good terms. I am going back before the end of the year for another 2 weeks. Do I need to reapply or renew?

Are we confused? Because the Turkish coup was by the military. If impeachment is by the NASS, lemme see what resistance will come

Is this calculation true? We have 7.8b people in the world. 2b go to Google daily. That means every 1 off 4 people go on Google. I am not willing to accept tha calculation.

locosis007:
GOOGLE IS THE BIGGEST SEARCH ENGINE

IF TWO MILLION PEOPLE USE ONLY GOOGLE SEARCH PER MINUTE.

SO GOING BY CALCULATIONS.
1HR= 2M PPL * 60
WHILE ONE DAY IS
2M*60*24.. DTS ABOVW 2BILLION PPL A DAY.

AMAZING TRAFFIC!

BUT


HOW COME GOOGLE IS NOT THE RICHEST COMPANY ??



....thinking.....

Did she mean eat and run?

Did she mean eat and run?

The education she will get is worth more than whatever she spent. Learning new cultures, new way of life. It's amazing. I did Amsterdam-Hague-colonge(germany)-Amsterdam last year. Reading this now is making me want to do cross-europe again. This time, with my madam.

In Lagos, when you see 'this land is not for sale'. It actually means that land is for sale. The owners are just trying to avoid omo-oni wahala. I think you should do 2 things.
I. Get a lawyer
2. Go to the survey office to confirm the status of the documents the land owner has

Sheybi he is tinubu's stooge. It's Tinubu that is directing him... Ambode wey never begin work.... M own concern is for him to continue with this speed (or better) in his second term

Eni kukuru ti n pe eni gig ran ni se (short man that sends taller/ bigger men on errands)

Hahahaha @Explorers. I was in the back sit, silently following

I was in J'burg with my wife in 2014. Had no issues at all. We plan to visa SA again this year. Should we expect the same stress like we did the first time or will this application be easier since we had visited before and have clean records

Same 'ol 'ít's cheaper to maintain blah blah blah'.

Siena:
[color=Blue]Then you need to ask him why he insists you should pull the V6, and swap in an I4.[/color]

Thanks Siena. I prefer a V6, love the power the car had. Just an uncle based in the US and who sends cars home that insists that I should do V4 instead of V6.

Siena:
[color=Blue]Whilst it is possible to install an I4 engine from a similar year Camry, it is not advisable to do so. You're just creating more room for problems that will benefit no one except your mechanic. Such a conversion will involve the following:

Replacing the transmission with one that bolts to an I4 engine.
Replacing the driveshafts with a pair that bolt to the above transmission.
Replacing the engine harness with one that plugs to an I4 engine.
Replacing the ECU with one that plugs to the above harness, and powers an I4 engine.
Replacing the exhaust front section with one that bolts to an I4 engine.
Replacing the radiator and coolant hoses with I4 items.
Replacing the engine and transmission mounts with I4 items.
Replacing the front crossmember with one that will allow an I4 engine and transmission to bolt to it.
Replacing the transmission TCU with one compatible with the I4 transmission (if you wish to retain automatic transmission).
Replacing the transmission harness with one compatible with the above transmission and TCU.

I would advise you to replace the engine with the correct one. Why are you even considering a swap? Because your "mechanic" said so? It's time to swap mechanics too. [/color]

Thanks Gazzuzz, Whatsapping you now.

GAZZUZZ:
your engine should be the 3mz-fe engine, call me I might have a good deal on ground for you 08033910382 Whatsapp

Hi guys,

My 2004 Camry got an engine knock-out. I am planning to change the said engine in the car. The engine is VVT-I V6 24V
My questions are

1. What will it cost to get the engine
2. Where can I get the engine?
3. Can I fix a V4 engine into a V6 car, people are advising me to do so.
4. Is an engine swap reliable?

I I based in Lagos.
