pls don't waste your money. They won't board you. I had a bitter experience with Qatar Air from USA.

You can try your luck with any airline that flies direct. No stop over anywhere to Nigeria. Before you buy ask the first.

A bike said that then, and it have elapsed January after it was said. Airlines are no longer mandated by Nigerian government to lift those with expired passports.

Another thing you can use is ETC. You can get emergency travel certificate from Nigerian embassy in the country you are.

When was your Qatar flight?
Sounds like misinformation. Rescinding a policy like that would take time.

1Sharon:
From what I heard from the Nigerian High commission, it depends on the airline. And the passport must not be expired for more than 5 years. So it's possible.

Also look into getting an Emergency Travel Document to Nigeria.

Why would it depend on the airline? What business does the airline have in arbitrarily deciding who is allowed into a country? The airlines follow the immigration policies of the countries the passengers are going to. The airlines in the US check travel requirements because they are fined by the US if they don't reasonably check the passengers documents and the passenger is denied entry. And they have to fly the passenger back to the US.

Here is the letter stating the Nigerian policy. It doesn't say anything about the length of expiration. Seems that would be a lot to force the airport agents to check for.

Lol when you can easily reach out to the consulate or the airline you wants to fly nd confirm buh u choose NL....

Information is always helpful and a post like this has the potential to alleviate some headaches for people trying to travel.
FYI, I wouldn't trust the Nigerian consulate to be helpful when you are at the airport being denied the ability to board. Have you ever tried calling any US based Nigerian embassy and reaching an agent?

As to the airlines, I reached out to British Airlines by phone. The first rep, said you couldn't, told me to call TSA. Called TSA, who told me to call the airline. Called the airline back and escalated the call and wouldn't take an answer until I had someone actually check their system. The rep finally told me that she could see the policy and Nationals could enter with an expired passport. Taking no chances I went to the check-in terminal to ask an actual British Airways agent there, last week while returning from a trip. She also told me that she could see the policy in their system. But only found it when searching for the Entry requirements from London to Nigeria.

As all things Naija, I was also concerned. I'm flying back to Naija for xmas with an expired passport. So, I stopped by the British Airways check-in while at the airport just to make sure I would have no issues. The agent seemed aware and said that there was an advisory in there system that said "Nigerian Nationals could return with an expired passport". And that all airlines should be able to see the advisory. She found it when searching the system for flights from London to Nigeria, London being my stopover.

Good Read for those who don't believe in systemic racism.

Yeah. It’s like the indictments had the opposite effect on him. It’s truly remarkable in the sense that 15-20 years ago, a state or federal indictment would be the automatic end of any politician’s campaign; but today it’s a massive boost in the polls for the indicted politician

The Republican party has been trending this way for a while. Indictments still matter for Democrats.

😂😂😂😂 funny but actually a good summary of this thread.

All these are mostly caused by just one user. Whenever he goes away the conversation becomes more substantive. As soon as he shows up things derail pretty fast.

I see you're probably cycling through all your usernames as your posts get taken down. Seems this post has aged rather poorly.

My fault. you were talking about yourself here.

bemeruca:
That looks like an item from 1995. So old. So you do dumpster diving? Wonders shall never end 🤣🤣🤣 shame

Your girlfriend who you claim flies 1stclass has a butler and a team of cooks and laundry workers who take the best ones 🤣🤣🤣

You know you put out old shiit taken from the trash of your neighbor so you imaginary girlfriend is here to save you again. She took the best ones 🤣🤣🤣

You left out the driver and mopo out front and didn't mention the fact that her work pays for all of it.
But you're too stupid to know when to shut up.
fyi, Jealousy doesn't look good on ya.

A friend told me about the ECOWAS travel document, says it can be completed in a couple of hours and will let me into Ghana. Will try this route. Will update how it works out.

MentalCase98:
Opinion poll;

Has IjeBos ever made a bigger ass of himself on nairaland than he has in the past 2 days on this first class travel matter?

Hit LIKE for YES

Hit Share for NO

😂😂😂😂

Just to put a bow on this. And since I am unpacking/packing for the next 2 trips, they are here.
You probably don't know what these are... but look them up. My girl takes the nicer ones.
And the 2nd pic should make it clearer for someone who has never entered a plane like you.

If this were Mortal Kombat, this is the spot they would have said "FINISH HIM".

MentalCase98:
Guys are we enjoying the show?

We can now CATEGORICALLY say IjeBos has never flown either Emirates, Lufthansa or BA since he evidently didn’t even know what they call their premium travel lounges.

I guess he is really just a JetBlue boy after all 😂😂

Holy Shit. This is my last post on this. Have better shit to do than educating you on flying. First class lounges are exceptions. Top tier airlines do it occasionally to differentiate and moreso in the places they are based or the flag carrier of i.e Lufthansa in Germany, Korean Air, South Korea, two airlines you've talked about in terminals in their home countries. This is the same shit you do in this thread. You talk authoritatively about shit you have 0 clue about based on limited research. Like you talking authoritatively about the US as if you've ever even been here.

You've started with lounges having unicorns that magically fly you through the airport and into your seat on the plane so you don't touch those nasty general flyers to every flight departure is announced in supposed tranquil places like most lounges, allowing the cacophony of the airport in. With each domino that falls you stand a new one up. All to prove I am what... someone who flies often but doesn't go to lounges? Even at that, someone who'd you be calling fada?

I'll leave you with this post. Yes, let's get it out of the way; I am lying, the NY Times is lying, this link is a lie, the only truthful person is the person who has never been in a lounge or on a plane. Remember click your heels three times and say Fake News three times and it'll be all ok.

https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/lufthansa-first-class-lounge-boston/

As I said, the exception that proves the rule.

MentalCase98:
Thank you I have never been on a plane. Keep saying that please. Make sure you say it on every post you make. Thanks. 🤣🤣

Meanwhile another video exposing more of your lies of EVER flying first class. You said they don’t call the lounge what? 🤣🤣

Holy Shit. This guy has spent the last few days scouring videos of lounges for one that says First Class Lounge. See an idiot. As in Gen. Chem, you have found the exception that proves the rule.

Try this, click your heels 3 times then say "Fake News" 3 times and all those pesky facts I gave you will just disappear. That's how you conservative idiots work right?

MentalCase98:
Doubling down on stupidity and lies 🤣🤣🤣

So people in first class lounge have NO WAY of knowing the status of their flight except getting up and walking to the gates? You must be flying Okada airlines fist class then 🤣😅

Bloody liar. Everybody is laughing at you.

I have found like 3 other airlines that boldly still call their lounge “first class lounge” remember that was your first lie? 🤣🤣

God has made you open your nyash here today 😂😂 no one will ever believe your braggings about wealth here ago.

Dude is still swearing that I have never flown 😂😂 well thank you for finally indirectly admitting I am not the person you claim I am. Because you said you saw his FB pics right? Lol.

You’re so dumb you can’t even keep your lies and accusations straight.

I'm a liar, the NY times is a liar. Everyone but the person who has never sat his ass in a lounge nor been on a plane is lying. Lol.

You can put up ur dork call to Benalvino and Basilico now to get help as you're clearly getting ur head bashed in again.

MentalCase98:
Shut up dunce. I see you’re back for your daily dose of utter humiliation. First go learn how airports work before you open that lying moth of yours here again.

Dude said announcements of delays and calls to board don’t reach the 1st class lounge 😂

Another day another teaching lesson for you. Most of the better international airport lounges are places to retreat and relax, and so are generally quiet. The last one I was at had a enclosed booth to make calls.

From the NYtimes:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/06/travel/airport-lounges-guide.html

Serious question. What is the point of opening your mouth to talk about something you have 0 experience with, whereas it be flying or lounge access? Do you like constantly looking stupid? Is there a daily "I want to be made a fool" quota you have to fill?

MentalCase98:

Yeah OmotaleeJanet, aka slyfoxx-Janet, all these bans must have been rewards for your amazing contributions to this thread.

MentalCase98:
Let’s never forget… This is the post that made IjeBos lose his shit after being exposed for the fraud he is who doesn’t even know how airports work, never mind being the frequent premium flyer he constantly lies to be.

He tried so many distraction tactics afterwards but only ended up making a bigger fool of himself.

The pleasure is mine.

Cc: Basilico, Bemeruca

Look at this the Dork call. Hey fellow dorks, Basilico, Bemeruca, I'm getting my head bashed, I've exposed the fact that I've never been on a plane and I'm being made a fool. Come help.
What a collection of dorks and losers you three are. Two practiced Liars, 2 Mentally ill peons, and a dead-beat dad. Nice squad you got there.

MentalCase98:
Bro I got back from China not too long ago where I was finalizing a deal with contractors for one of my projects in Southern Africa. In a couple weeks I will be off on vacation abroad again.

I don’t have time to argue with a clown like you about whether I’ve ever even been on a fvcking plane. Debating you literally Kills brain cells. You are just too stupid, shallow and immature to be worth the effort

Fake rich kind. Son of an absolute garbage father. I feel your pain sometimes.

Try Crystal or a Glenfiddich 21 Yr, may help with that pain.
My fault, a little out of your budget.. lol
What do they sell in Naij for 5k? lol

MentalCase98:
Your worthless father beats up women to feel important. Just think about that every time you want to talk about another persons family. Worthless fool.

Stupid liar. Imaginary gf, imaginary car, imaginary first class flights. Everything about you here is just fake. What a sad life you must really live.

I could talk about your family, I don't. I've seen their worthlessness before you locked down your facebook page. They're probably tired of you as well.
I'm talking about the worthless, lying delusional multiple personality having degenerate that you are.

Yes, it's quite a sad life I live, when I'm at parties in Ikoyi, in VIP seats at concerts in Lagos, sippin Moet and Crystal on New Years Eve, chilling on the beaches of Ghana, partying in Abuja, and shopping in London on my way back to the US, I never know how I'll live with myself. It'll be so sad, I'll post pics and maybe you can tell me about that imaginary girl you're at some made up restaurant with and cheer me up.

MentalCase98:
Bloody pathetic liar.

Just look at how you sound. “This guy has never been on a flight before”.

Like a toddler. Okay say amen to this prayer; If I have never been on an intercontinental flight before may it never be well with me and my whole family. If I have then may IjeBos and his battered and bruised mother die wretched death before the last day of this year.

I dare you to say amen to the above prayer. Let’s see if that your battered and bruised mother won’t die like the worthless fowl she is.

Stupid fool. Taking about flight Allie it’s a big deal That’s your level bro? Even for as much as I hate you and think you are a clown I’m actually somehow disappointed.

You’re not even a worthy opponent I swear.

Opponent? lol Oh, you thought this was a competition? Sorry fool. You want to belong so badly. You're a fuxing deluisional liar with multiple personalities. I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

MentalCase98:
Shut up fool!

Bloody liar. You’re a clown and have been exposed but just refuse to lay down.

YES! The PA system extends to those in the first class lounge as well. I have been in an airport public toilet and heard an announcement for my flight before.

Jesus you’re such a clown. Don’t even mind humiliating yourself just because you don’t want to accept you’ve lost an argument.

IjeBos you did not fly first class yesterday!!

Prove me wrong and show the pictures of yourself in the lounge or the cabin.

I dare you!

You were probably there waiting for your brother to land from London and went to the restroom... near his gate.
FYI, you are not your brother. Just cuz you steal his passports and bank account statements to post them online, does not make you him.
Many successful people have loser brothers just like you. He must hate to have to keep sending your mommy money to send to you.

This fool has never gone past the security check-in of an airport.
This was comedy gold.

MentalCase98:
IjeBos fake rich kid.

Never even heard of a PA system at an airport before 😂😂😂

Has to go sit at the gate to find out if his flight has been delayed 😂

Like I said, you’re either lying or stupid. Neither of which look good on you.

Comedy Gold
PA system throughout the airport? Lol... keep going dumbass. 😂
Some airports have 100 flights an hour and trains to take you from terminal to terminal. They do not announce throughout the airport what flights are delayed. Imagine if they did. Fuxing dumbass. They have flight boards, airline apps and text messages for that. Holy dumbass. And definitely not in lounges. In fact lounges are a relaxing generally quiet place. My flight was delayed, decided to walk to the gate and as it got delayed further chose to stay there.
The PA is more localized around the gate for people waiting.

Ahahhahah.. This guy has never been on a flight before.

MentalCase98:
You don't even know 1st class passengers are notified and have the liberty of boarding at anytime once the plane is ready without sitting at the gates.

Keep on going... This is comedy gold....
Like a blinking NEON sign saying, I've never been on a plane
Holy shit, do you think people are sitting at the gate for their heath?
Or are airlines just wasting time keeping people them there if they could board?
What planes are the first class passengers getting on if the plane hasn't landed or is being cleaned?

Try to keep up, 1st class passengers and some others get Priority boarding. Meaning it is given that they board first. It says so on their boarding pass that they get when they check in. Noone has to notify them.

Mind Blown... You have never been on a plane before to understand what is happening when they call certain group numbers.

MentalCase98:
Hahahahahaahahah.

Out of all your excuses when being caught in a lie this has to be the best!

I give it to you bro. Lucifer dey learn where you dey.

And to think it only took you 4 hours of pontificating (despite being online here the whole time) to come up with this garbage lie.

Bravo! But frankly I expected something better.

#FakeRichKid #JesterofBoston

You clearly missed the insult. My boys and I were discussing cars. Two just upgraded, one got the 911 turbo s. They asked me when my turn was. We laughed. That's a normal convo for us. For you it's someone showing off.

The fact that you think someone hanging in a lounge is a big deal speaks to your pockets. And we already seen your pocket. It's that poverty mentality benalvino speaks so much about.

bemeruca:
This is how his father prideoflncoln lied and I exposed him. Since then he hasn't showed his face on this thread.

This is the point I have been making. I read that post and you were wrong. But to people not in the know about flying you may have sounded like you knew what your were talking about, but you didn't. I've booked that Lufthansa stopover in Germany flight and he was exactly right about how it works.

You and slyfoxx are two peas in the same pod. Two people trying to overextend themselves outside their stations in life.

MentalCase98:
IjeBos proudly flies

Fixed that for you.
Unlike you, I can afford it.

MentalCase98:
Of course you won’t recover with your peanut sized brain that thinks what he said here actually makes sense.

Can’t you see he hasn’t “recovered” since I asked him to explain why a first class passenger like he claims to be cannot get notification on his flight delay from the lounge and has to go sit for hours at the gates with regular passengers? Of course you can’t see the ridiculousness of that because you’re even more stupid than him.

IjeBos is actually the smartest amongst you liberal moronns on this thread. And that really says a lot about how dumb y’all are as a collective. He sounds smart once in a while in his political commentary but his major problem is that he is a flaming liar with extreme small man syndrome.

You on the other hand are a Trump deranged lunatic who never makes any sense even on your best days.

Sit this one out fool.

He said, there are announcements in the lounge over the PA at busy international airports. Lol.. As I said visit the lounge at the less busy Lagos airport and you'll understand how stupid that statement is. I believe the entrance fee is 15k, so you will have to ask your mommy for next months allowance early.

But this whole post is reductive. As if "regular" passengers are diseased. I'm not one for all that flexing. I leave that to my g/f. But, it's always the poorest people who hold their noses up the highest.

And it's a fuxing lounge. Who cares. If that's what's got ur panties in bunch, you're not adulting right.

MentalCase98:
2. The passenger went straight from the first class lounge to a designated boarding gate for first class passengers and then onto a designated boarding bridge for first class passengers.

The ONLY time he mingled with passengers from the lower class was when he went through security. All his documents are taken and processed for him while he was in the lounge. He NEVER at any point sat down at the gate chatting shit on nairaland like you were doing in that picture 🤣🤣

Thanks for posting this. Always good when you provide your own receipts to your stupidity. At one point I gave you the benefit that you might have actually left Nigeria. Now I don't believe you have ever been to an airport. You watched this video and didn't even understand what you watched.

1.) Picture 1 As I said there is no train, railway, balloon, or horse drawn carriage that takes you to your gate from the Lounge. You walk to your gate from your lounge. The first picture is the youtuber walking through the concourse from his Lounge to get to his gate. I guess you missed all those Regular passengers he had to "mingle" with in this photo. Or did you think this was all first class? This is the same walk I did yesterday (further distance). (I added the subtitles to help prove your stupidity).

2.) Picture 2 The second photo is him walking to his gate (231). As you can see there are two sides, one for Priority boarders (First, Prestige(status)) and the other side for regular (Zone 1,2,3) But, both go through the same gate(door) and the same bridge to the plane.

3.) Picture 3 The last photo is a blown up picture of the Priority sign to differentiate where the Priority people line up vs. the non Priority(zone 1,2,3) other side. Still the same gate. And if the flight is delayed as mine was yesterday, he may have opted to sit there instead of walking back to his Lounge as I did yesterday. Difference, at larger airports the lounge can be much further from the gate.

You posted a clip of everything I explained yesterday.. lol. What is the point of coming to a forum to argue about shit you don't know/never experienced with people who actually do? Get your money up, worry about having more than 15k in your bank and not having to beg nairalanders for 1.5k transport fare. Then take small steps, buy an airplane ticket to Abuja, then out of the country. Learn what a gate looks like, what a Western terminal looks like. And if you want start with the lounge in the Lagos Domestic terminal... I heard it's decent.

MentalCase98:
Are you some kind of retardd honestly? Were the beatings to your mother while you were in her womb so severe that you have irreparable brain damage or something? All these lies and mental gymnastics just to cover up the fact that you are obviously flying commercial? Hahahaha

Will an average Joe like you be able to qualify for access to the BA first lounge even according to the criteria you posted here? Are those not descriptions of your typical first class passenger?

Telling me I don’t know about airports when you are the one who doesn’t even know that first class passengers DO NOT wait at the gates with others. They typically board FIRST straight form their lounge hahahahahaha. They are allowed access to the aircraft right after the crew. They do not balance with their laptop and luggage at the gates. Most times they do NOT even carry their own luggage. Hahahaha. They sometimes pass through the gates yes but they DO NOT hangout waiting at the gates.

if there is a flight delay they wait in the lounge till the plane is ready. Why would they leave the comfort there and sit at the gates with others? Does that not defy the whole purpose of being a premium passenger?

hahahahahahahahahaha

IjeBos fake rich boy doesn’t even know how airports work ooooo. You have embarrassed yourself many times on this forum but this has to be the funniest episode of the “IjeBos humiliation show” I swear.

The more you write the clearer it is that you haven't really flown outside of Nigeria. Airport processes in Western countries after 9/11 are more security oriented. First Class passengers get A/1 priority boarding . (My status generally gives me A/1 boarding priority.) They board first and at times last (seen it once, so they aren't just waiting on the plane while eveyone else boards). And a gate is just a door. Everyone has to go through it to access a plane. So, if the plane is delayed, has issues, needs to be recleaned, EVERYONE waits at the gate.

Because you asked. I have acess to a premium lounge (or First class lounge as your mind thinks it's called) in airports that have then. I can shower, eat, drink etc. And I generally do so before a second leg of a long haul (if it's not direct).

Your posts always sound like you are relaying incomplete information born from the fact you haven't really experienced these things, you don't have first hand information on any of them, so you spew half nonsense from scattered posts from random websites you find online. It's the same thing you do and continue to do in this thread. The reason I was sure you had never lived in the US. You may sound like you are in the know to somone like you who is equally not in the know, but people who are (other Americans, people who fly regularly), can easily tell your Bullshitting.

Continue being a purveyer of misinformation and Mr. Liar #1. He says he's the CEO of 6 companies. Same bullshit I'm talking about, curated for rather stupid people, like the Basilico's and Benvalino's of the world. Enjoy being whatever that broken mind wants you to be today.

MentalCase98:
Keep telling me about 1.5k transport money 😂😂😂 yeah right because someone that has 3 foreign degrees, is the CEO of over 6 thriving companies and on the board of a further 3 is looking for 1.5k transport.

Degrees went from 2 to 3 and he went from 2 companies to 6. lol
I'm convinced Slyfoxx is setting up a profile to commit fraud on this site.
The mods should check well.

MentalCase98:
The clown said they don’t call them fist class lounge anymore. He said it’s just “lounge” 😅😅

Maybe he should call BA and tell them to fix their website. They apparently didn’t get the memo 😂

That clown just keep embarrassing himself daily.

Lol, why didn't you post the rest of this site with the deails about this FIrst lounge? Let's look at the Eligibity for this "First" Lounge.

Eligibility
The First lounges are available for passengers who are:
Flying on a scheduled British Airways flight in First.
A Gold Member of the British Airways Executive Club on a scheduled flight operated by British Airways or one of our oneworld partners.
An Emerald member of any of the oneworld airline frequent flyer programmes on a scheduled flight operated by British Airways or one of our oneworld partners.
Over the age of 18 or, if under the age of 18, accompanied by a responsible adult. Local laws relating to the consumption of alcohol will apply.
At our overseas lounges, access to First Dining and the Bar is for customers travelling in First, as well as Premier card holders, or those with Gold Guest List status

Clearly sounds like a Lounge for only First Class Passengers... NOT. As I said you are so far out of your depth here. You don't even understand how airports work (that everyone has to go to and at times wait at the gate for the flight), to begin to understand how lounges work. And as I said, given that I have status in one of their affiliated oneworld airlines, I'd be able to access the "First" Lounge even if I didn't buy a BA First class ticket.

As I said, focus on making some money so you aren't begging nairaland for money when you are stranded. What kind of family could you be from that you are giving out your personal info on nairaland because of 1.5k? Stop stealing people's clout before one of them finds out.

basilico:
I will register several handles to like your posts Since you crave attention and acceptance.
I use Nairaland as my bookmark, I get a lot of insights from the tech section, religion and foreign affairs too.Im never bothered by likes or shares like you and your friends.
I usually list down a lot of references. I do it because I can refer to them later.
I will let you know when I am in America.

Should we believe what u say or what nairaland says about what section you are most active?

Or maybe you should read what you posted. Nowhere does it say "First Class". As I said they are just lounges. Some uber premium airlines may have a section in the lounge for First class tickets. But that is extremely rare. Why don't you tell me where the "first class" lounge is in Lagos airport. Do all the airlines share them? Or does each airline have their own specific one? If you thought about the economics of it you'd realize how stupid what you are saying is. But thinking isn't ur strong suit. Work on not having to sell bet9aija credits for transport money before you worry about first class tickets.

A guy who can't afford 1.5k for transport is talking about a first class lounge. The sheer nuttiness of it
