Good day good people. Pls who knows the collection point for PTA if one applies from ECOBANK Port harcourt.


Very interesting.
someone will spend extra 70k flying to lagos and back and if you have no where to stay, hotel bill just to collect PTA.and if the person doesnt want to put it in a dorm account and it gets stolen by robbers what then..... these banks are not sensitive at all. Kai

Its sad that a forum created to help people is being dominated by 'Gurus' who where previ to good info and made the right choices but unfortunately are so judgmental about people who post sincere questions and are seeking solutions because they were advised wrongly!

my advice to y'all quoted here, PLEASE, if you don't have anything solution to questions like this or any words that lead to solutions...don't comment on it, its not meant for you!

Every one can comment. if you dont like it, you can simply ignore or you rephrase the question and ask again. if they disagree with you doesnt make them right. after all not all questions get the right answer. so dont take it hard on anyone. My opinion.

Hi everyone

I'm a first time mum, yet to go for my interview and I'm really showing. I've contacted doctores para ti and MIHS, MIHS said they only now attend to residents. Please are there other cheap hospitals on the range of the one in El Paso as I really want to make a good choice. Thanks

congrats.
Lemme not be the spoiler, but do mothers still go that far to El-paso anymore.
or u have any specific reasons for wanting to go there?
if you say cheap, i wonder how much you have in mind. if you give an estimated budget here of what u want to spend on medical and housing, am sure some mothers here can help you find a reasonable hospital and/or accommodation. Some ppl can share a 2 bedroom and u split the bill equally.

Please a quick obe house
Although my twins are still in the NICU but by His grace they are doing very good. I want to ask a question,I had my babies in Fort Worth dallas,I have collected their SSN and BC within 2weeks of the if arrival. Can I do their passport in Houston cos the amount am paying where staying is quite expensive $1800 per month&I would want to move to Houston ASAP where my cousin is.
Since its the same texts can I do their passport in Houston instead of Dallas
I think its possible but why not just do it say tmr or even today at dallas and pay to have them mail it to Houston for you?
maybe some others here have a second opinion

Is it because we r paying Cash?

Adding extra 1000 dollars is Just crazy.

Now it just occurred to me, this forum can actually act as a union for some sort to frequently used hospitals. if we write oakbend and tell them ppl here are not happy anymore with them and anybody using this forum wont be referred to them, you might see changes...But e go be long thing shaa cause everybody get their money to spend as they want...

Not true. Except u are sure u can get PTA same day ticket was issued. If u issue a ticket it takes till 12am of that day to void it. So who will issue a ticket that costs for just 10k.



You can buy a ticket today for a travel you want to make in Dec 2016 right? so thats exactly how the licensed travel agency works. With their Amadeus software, they can also do same. most travel agencies issue full ticket for any class of travel so cancelling or rebooking is either free or at a fraction... Anyways. Thats how i understand it. but u may be right i dont know.

Hello house, pls I need info on airline that does refund easily, a banker want to help us with PTA and we need to book flight for him in order to do this. Pls whc airline do you advice we use from your experience?
Thanks in anticipation of ur responses

i Think you should meet a travel agency. I know some can collect 10k from you and issue you a confirmed ticket even if the bank decides to investigate, your ticket status will show confirmed meaning you have paid. afterwards, they will cancel the ticket.

Dear House.

Pregnant women already in the US should ask their Doctors about the FLU vaccine shot which the CDC advised all to take. My DW's Obgyn told her about it yesterday and it's $20 in the hospital but she should check walgreens and cvs to know if it's given for free. If contracted, it can lead to Dea.....th. so I read it up on walgreens website. And got this link for anyone interested. Even kids from 6 months and healthy ppl can also take d shot as I read.

Why do people do this?
shelly23:
Don't do it! Besides being illegal, you're also exposing your child unnecessarily cos this person can use your child's SSN to apply for credit cards, etc and run up debt and destroy his/her credit rating.
dere5:

Which tax returns are you filling,are you a US citizen,do you pay tax in the US? If you are talking about giving your baby's SSN number to a friend or a family member to use to file tax returns,then that is a no no. It has been discussed extensively sometime ago on this thread,the disadvantages are enormous

Well will search for the thread where it was discussed. Am not doing it. Just asking to know cause someone asked and I don't know a single thing about it. That's part of y we are here. Thanks though.

@neks31 any feedback yet cos still stuck looking for banks n branches that will do moneygram. Looking like u must be related to a banker now to get the form.

Union, first and Diamond in Abuja don't ask for Dom accounts but regular accounts with the bank where the Naira equivalent will be debited. All do moneygram.They write down ur name and take your number, you are placed on the queue, cause they are allowed either one or two transactions a day. When your turn reach, they will call you. Diamond here used to allocate dollar quota to branches, now they open the moneygram Portal at 8am everyday for all their branches nationwide. They call it (fastest fingers first) if that branch dulls, nothing for them.

That's for schooling.

This is daycare. Even citizens cringe at d prospect of paying for daycare. It's not illegal. Infact, d govt needs ya money. It's about $5 to $10 an hour

Yaay! Okay cool. The cheapest I have seen so far in Naples, Florida is $99 dollars per week. But the search was done on the Internet, my DW may have to physically go to the day care and negotiate. So if anyone knows any in another state, I can search for them in Naples. Thanks.
