lamiobo: I don't think d policy stopped banks from making transfers abroad ...all u need 2 ∂☺ is open a domiciliary account with your bank and you can transfer and receive any amount from abroad through your bank

Are you going to transfer money from an empty account? You still have to visit the aboki before you pay into your account. It's a sick process, cos it's not safe out there on the streets negotiating with strangers.

Killlin no mata wat I jst dnt lyk d idea

30 years on whose money? The same tax payers that they've been kidnapping?

Willgates: and over a 100 politicians are going about freely

The politicians didn't kidnap anyone.

I also need info on where to fix a module screen, that 15K seems much. I have a 10K budget. Any info?

@ChriGo: Congrats o. It was good having you here...the comedy posts and chill pills. God bless. Just hope you'll have time to throw in your 'chill' words once in a while as you enter Canada.
I think I should storm the embassy for my TRV. I think the VOs just get it ready pending when you're bothered enough to come knock at their big gate. Success to all who merit it. Otito Dili Chukwu!!!

kjbobo:
Bros.....let's not flog issue....but let's look at issues very deeply...in a sane country...somebody will give my details(the amount I have) to a third party without my consentand you say it is normalThat is why I am afraid for Nigeria....we are beginning to see how we are treated as normal!
I CAN bet it with you they aren't doing it this way in Europe....even if there are verifying!

Hey, you specifically gave the embassy approval to verify your sponsor's state of account while signing your application form. Besides, what's the issue with that? Will the embassy rob you cos of your money?

Wheeew

waleswizzy: Hello house,I submmited my application form in August at vfs center ikeja.Please can anyone tell me when I wll be call for medicals.

Probably December.

Waxxy: Just got an email from SPGS with a link to process refund. Did anyone else seeking refund get this?

Please how did you go about the refund? I need a refund. What's the process?

Quantumfisika: hi guys...how una dey? I have two questions o...first o...CIC sent me an email askin me to go for medicals with a medical form attached to d email. I checked VFS trackin and dis was wat dey said..

Your Passport Status

further instructions , your attention is
required at the earliest.

Reserved.

I though they will also inform me to come for medicals...abi is it the standard thing they say wen uve bin called for medicals?

secondly o...after the medicals at Asaju in VI, where do they send the results to? Is it same day d medical is done they send your result to wherever they suppose to send it to?

abeg I dey wait for response...una tank u o in advance..

Yes, congrats. That's the standard way. Go and pick your passport for medicals and maybe further instructions on fees payment.

Now I see people complaining about some medical centres. At this stage we need to point out the one that's hitch free to prevent delays.

kayconsult: @ jay, half bread is better than none. I also submitted a copy of my telex before the schools receipt came in. I'll suggest u back it up with an explanatory note, but don't ever put der that the school said ur money hav'nt reflected in there schools aCct. Just write in there some tangible reasons.

@playpays and @kayconsult: much appreciation. I'll do just that if my school doesn't send the receipt by Friday. Gratias!!!

Oh, now this is getting scary. My school's account office says my tuition and board hasn't dropped in my student account yet, and the embassy needs the receipt by oct 16. I'm worried about this. Anyone facing similar situation? I have my telex copy mailed to me from my bank (for the wire transfer). Can I submit this telex copy with an explanation letter? It seems risky. Please let me hear from you guys.

NO. 1000-NIGERIA: Nigeria, is the 1,000th country to migrate to. Known as "the Giant of Africa", it is also the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the world.
Per capital income in Nigeria is $2,866 while the unemployment rate is at a scary 23%

Nigeria is roughly divided in half between Christians, who mostly live in the South and central parts of the country, and Muslims, concentrated mostly in the north. A minority of the population practice traditional and local religions, including the Igbo and Yoruba religions.
The main problem with the country is corruption and boko haram, which was born out of un-identifiable factors.
Its oil reserves have brought great revenues to the country. It is listed among the "Next Eleven" economies. Nigeria is a member of both the Commonwealth of Nations, and the African Union

momodub: many nairalander would need this pen

Like you

diehard: The real issue is people's ignorance about manufacturers specifications when it comes to consumable parts. Most owners lose their car transmission because they use the wrong transmission oil, I.e. abro transmission fluid. An the car is unforgiving when it concerns transmission fluid, na new gear box the person go most likely buy after such mistake. The gear box is quite expensive at that. Best advice is the buy what the car maker recommends. I know person who use this car without issues for years

Thanks. This should help.

I have been in circles where discussions about cars come up. During one of such car talks I found out the Nissan Murano currently has a bad reputation in the Nigerian market. One dude even said he won't accept murano as a gift, while another wouldn't buy the car for as low as any amount. Please I need the experts to throw more light into this. Is the car really a bad buy? I still see people cruising in it tho.

Please house, is it appropriate to pay mu tuition and board using a GTB Mastercard (Debit)? Anyone paid this way? Pls advise.

Please I don't understand this thread. Can someone kindly explain?

clusterphobia: For maple, its most times means medicals. I was in the same situation yesterday morning but later in the day, picked my passort and medics instruction.
Q- after medicals what next? cos I did all d tests and returned my passport to my agents.

After medics, wait a lil bit and start shopping for tickets...hopefully.

Pls, I'll like to get in touch with a Brandon Uni (Winter) hopeful. Preferably one who couldn't join the Fall session cos of delays in obtaining study permit

President Goodluck Jonathan raised one of his most outsized delegation yet for his ongoing trip to the United Nations General Assembly in the United States, drawing up personalities apparently irrelevant for the meeting, with likely cost implications in several millions if not billions of naira.

Several members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party for instance, joined the train to New York, so much that the party halted its activities since Monday, PREMIUM TIMES confirmed.

On Tuesday, PREMIUM TIMES also confirmed several ex-militant leaders, and known supporters of the president, and several others are presently in the United States for the same mission.

“I can tell you everyone I called today are in New York,” an associate of President Jonathan said. “Several ex-militants are also there, although there are claims they paid their way there.”

The source, who did not want to be named out of concern the disclosure he made might anger Mr. Jonathan, gave some names of militants he said travelled to New York with the President. We are withholding the names because we could not independently verify them as at the time of filing this report.

The sidekicks that accompanied the president are separate from the nearly a dozen ministers travelling with Mr Jonathan, several aides, hangers on with clearly no relevance to the trip.

Mr. Jonathan has managed to build a notorious reputation for travelling for international events with huge entourages that often put him up for stinging criticisms since taking office in 2010.

That year, the president reportedly travelled with 120 people to New York.

In February 2013, officials who travelled with the president for an African Union meeting in Ethiopia, averaged 200, making the Nigerian delegation the largest to the meeting.

When concerns flared again this time about his team to the current UN meeting, with allegations that as many as 600 may have travelled with the president to New York, the presidency scrambled a denial, saying those who travelled officially with the president were less than 30.

The response, in a statement issued by spokesperson, Reuben Abati, however admitted more people were in New York but said they were “for their own purposes”.

“We are certainly aware that many Nigerian citizens are currently on visits to New York. These persons are here for their own purposes and neither President Jonathan nor his administration has any responsibility for the presence of these persons in New York,” Mr. Abati said.He said those include Nigerian businessmen for “an African Business Roundtable event, members of non-governmental organizations and tourists”.


PREMIUM TIMES could however not ascertain the exact number of those who travelled with the president this time.

But our reporters who visited PDP headquarters on Monday and Tuesday confirmed several party members were on the trip. All events were accordingly suspended at the party office.

Presidency sources also confirmed former militant leaders who since become loyalists of the president, were on the trip.

So awkward was the Nigerian team accompanying Mr. Jonathan that at the president’s meeting with Mr Obama on Monday, the ministers were left standing by the sides, apparently as seating arrangements were not made for the large number.

kayconsult: I will like to know wen u applied and weda u used paper or online route ?

Paper application on May 24.
Thanks for your response. But a GTB Mastercard might me the fastest means of fee payment. I'll talk to the customer care guys. Thanks.

Hello house, my med instructions came with a further request to pay one year tuition and board. I'm willing to stay off the school residence when I hopefully resume. So what's the best approach to this? And does a GTB mastercard process such transactions as international sch fees? I'll appreciate ur response and recommendations. Kudos

Wow!!! Such a great feat! Oshe!!!

My Medical instructions dropped yesterday Sept 17. Applied May 24. Really appreciate a forum like this. The info here is priceless. Kudos guys. Good luck to all med call and TRV awaitees.

SLIDE waxie: u be MUMU...
So, if u av a company, and someone decided to buy into its shares, u will refuse?

Do u understand d difference btw money laundry and shares?

It depends on who's buying. When you're presented with an unrealistic value of money in purchase of shares it isn't hard to know the source of such wealth. Stop supporting evil

That's not the only way to prepare stew. You can blend your ingredients with less water and fry. This takes about 20-30minutes.
