Interestingly due to short time between getting passport stamped and his travel, i was seeing one-way tickets at prices higher than 2-way. Had to book 2-way (with return fixed for summer holidays next year) for economic reasons and not border officers matter. I doubt if Border officers ask for your ticket (though Airlines share information with them)

Really appreciate your insight sir, indeed some of the one-way fares are costlier than some of the return tickets. Can make more informed choice now, thanks.

My Son Landing Update (to help guide others in line with our common goal of helping one another)

Took Air France from Lagos to Paris to Vancouver to Winnipeg (no transit visa required)

Air France requested for admission letter, letter of acceptance, school fees payment receipt and passport (with visa in it of course).

He gladly told me he was given his study permit without being asked any questions (obviously happy because we have over drilled him ready with so much questions etc.). Was told by the border officer to submit his passport and letter of introduction while other documents (POF docs) were given back to him.

His Port of Entry was Vancouver, so the experience may not be the same for everyone. Advisable to be over ready.

We thank God for a smooth journey for an unaccompanied Minor and we saw God's hands all over it.

Very good college with affordable tuition. That was my first choice but they didnt have my course of choice so I settled for macewan in Edmonton.

Housing crisis and scarcity of student jobs have got nothing on you.

Wrong. Biden is a professed Catholic. Jehovah's witnesses do not pursue political office.

I don't like Biden even though Trump denied me visa last year.


Biden is just a cunning old Jehovah Witness man.

Lol. You can't understand. You are still very far from enlightenment. I will pray for your mind, so that you can get there. It is not a matter of white thing. He is saying the truth, but unfortunately, you are an average black man: lacking in exposure and sound knowledge. But I will pray for your mind, so that you will know how to do in-depth reasoning and fair judgement to complex human issues. Don't bother to comment back. I will not reply you!

Since neither you not who I quoted could objectively address the points I raised you resorted to insults under the guise of religion. Keep wallowing in your mud of self hate, your family need your prayers more

I am black but you see all this protest by the black community and riots going on freely is simply because of excessive freedom and how liberal the western world had open up to people. I have traveled to 9 countries and I must say, I feel more attached and comfortable mingling with white folks than the blacks.
.
Where in the world aside the western world can you travel from GOd knows where and give birth to a child and the child automatically become a full citizen enjoying same privilege as the indigenous people. Where in the world can you automatically get citizenship by marrying a citizen. I studied in the UK, your child automatically get access to free education, health care and a lot of facilities by the virtue of your student status in the west. A lot of students exploit the system especially those on scholarship by bringing their spouse and children while on study, thereby overstretching the limited resources. Go to the hospital and see indigenous white queuing for appointments that might take close to a month before they get access to see a doctor because a lot of people both foreigners and citizen had booked earlier. They were overwhelmed by such things and displayed decorum in votes to pull out of EU rather than following the path of fellow BLACK xenophobic South Africans displayed some time ago.
.
See, typically the black man in a white man’s country is so sensitive to how the white react, speak or even look at him and point to racism at every instance. I had a friend who worked in a bar and was dismissed because of his carelessness and poor attitude to work...before he left the bar he made sure he created a scene shouting racism racism. They were so courteous not to respond or engage him in a fight because they know most of the black Africans use racism to cover their shits.

.
Now we have phrases like black excellence, black live matters, I am black and proud, black history....flip the coin and say something like white supremacy, white excellence, white rules and hell will be let loose from the black community pointing racism. What sort of inferiority can that be?
.
Lastly, you see this Arab countries or most Asian countries.. nobody do racism pass them, but why don’t the suppressed black population protest...because the freedom is limited and they make sure you understand from your first presence in the country that you are second class to them and nothing can change that. Anyway, as the saying goes...when you give somebody a yard he will later ask for a mile.

A man is only respected and modelled if he earns such. Look at the African continent, the poorest, the most docile, the most disease ravaged, the most corrupt, the most backward...who has ever earned respect by displaying such attributes??

calm down, your gross generalization bespeaks a hatred of yourself since you are equally black. You and all those who liked your comment. You speak of students in UK who bring their family. Since you claim to study in Europe, are you conversant with the current financial (proof of funds) requirements for travelling there with your family. Why then will they not be accorded health priority when they are there with the bulky forex they bring into the country. For your information, Asia, not Africa is the most diseased ravaged continent in the world, what is the population number of India and China combined? Is Africa up to it. Should I begin with the sheer variety of diseases both airborne and water borne in that continent? You my friend have sadly been brainwashed by those UK adverts asking for money to help Africans just to line their own pockets. You are African and no matter how much you blindly criticize your continent, you wont get any whiter, peace.

Europeans did the same at a particular point in their history from the murder of Joan of arc to the Salem witch trials. Human sacrifice is pivotal in Christianity with the case of Jesus.

There were ancient universities in Timbuktu, Dakar and other ancient African cities attended by native Africans and a few Europeans.

You claim blacks are brutish, yet you forget whites bought humans as slaves, slave babies then were used as crocodile bait in the American south, not to mention lynching and segregation.
Native Americans were murdered by European colonists. Africans were killed by the colonists from domination of the African continent and the ones that lived were cheated, think apartheid in South Africa.

Blacks are superstitious, whites are also superstitious from astrology, tarot cards to fortune tellers patronized by Europeans.

Black people were also abolitionists from Fredrick Douglas to queen Nzinga from Tanzania. I don't know of any black person angered by the abolition of slavery.

Colonization did more harm than good, hundreds of thousands of people died from resisting colonial forces, the British didn't come all the way from their tiny island to spread Christianity or democracy without financial gains.

Your coherent presentation of facts provides a superior compelling argument. Some negative sentiments of a Non-colonized Africa stem from unpleasant personal experiences or observations within their own communities.

However when you sift through the western media propaganda (which many of us are too eager to subscribe to) it is self evident that a number of African countries would thrive as national entities.

A case study of a missed opportunity at true colonial indepence is the history of Congo. The Belgian king Leopold invaded that vast and beautiful country and carried out a grossly under-reported Holocaust that not even the worst African emperor could possibly match, wiping about 50% of the population (where were the missionaries when this took place).

But when Patrice Lumumba emerged as their democratically elected leader, he declared in no uncertain terms he was for his people alone and no puppet to Belgian colonists. this meant colonists could not tap into the diamonds, oil and natural resources without paying a fair price. well long story short, this African Patriot was slaughtered by the COLONIALIST-LOVING general, Mobutu sese seko and his minions.

The General was internationally touted by the west and Belgian Monarchy as the best thing since sliced bread. This allowed Belgium and the west to continue the daylight robbery of what is arguably the planet's richest country (in terms of natural resources). So did these colonialists 'liberate' and 'empower' this country and others like that of Somalia and CAR? well, let the reader decide.

While one can argue that Colonialists brought development in industry and education, ask yourself, could not an independent non-colonized country embark upon same venture by partnering with local and international countries (on an equal level) and also foster development?

In my view, the geographical location of present Nigeria would have been divided into kingdoms, caliphates and republics relatively smaller in size. These entities would probably evolve into countries today (to be on sociopolitical par with the rest of the world) each comprising of a dominant tribe and lesser tribes agreeing to unite as one (an administrative system perhaps like United Kingdom). However, without a common language, there may be a lot of division. The Monarchies would have to be progressive and exertive in order to maintain a strong influence and keep their domain united. The best real life example to analyse would be Ethiopia

Funny guy, how do you want to check brakes before you start your car? You check brakes after starting the car especially if the car isn't yours

So you adjust your rear view mirror everyday? You must be depreciating and appreciating in height every seconds of the day

Everyday you check gear whether he dey work, all the gears how convenient so I have to make sure P then press the throttle if car revs good, next R, press throttle car moves back good, then N, D, D2,L haaa my boss for don tender query later by the time I finish with my tests.

bro, you made me laugh so hard this morning, the Op made some points though, especially about checking tyres

the price is OK, from which site did you order it from.

Emks:


Drive straight towards Anthony, take a right turn after Anthony pedestrian bridge, take another right turn (first turn) this leads to the Anthony bridge facing gbagada, move a bit further then take a turn to your right, you should be headed towards Ikorodu road, when you are on Ikorodu Road, maintain the service lane you would see Maryland upfront. You should be at the mall in less than 10 mins.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for the detailed info. God bless

Detailed direction to the Mall will be appreciated

ihimiray:
if u can get to Antony, ask people around

Thanks for the suggestion bro, any specific directions to the Mall will also be appreciated.

Good morning Nairalanders,
kindly render any help on how I can navigate to the new Maryland Mall situated along Ikorodu Road. I will be driving from Ketu. Thanks

I wish games like resident evil and GTA can be shot in any Nigerian city.

Resident Evil 5 (Set in Africa, Naira Currency was used), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (A stage is set in Lagos)

It's a Potto, a gentle harmless primate, It ought to be free or at least be in the zoo where it can generate revenue, but no, it had to be killed it's still on nairaland I saw a water buffalo hunted down in Edo, and yet we southerners complain of beef over-dependency on the north We have so much biodiversity and yet not harnessing it properly.

Shut up

Stop calling Africa

The first African American judge was murdered yesterday in the USA

800 people were killed last year in Chicago, Chicago is not even a state, Chicago is just a small city

200 people die every year in Los Angeles and Compton every year

400 people die every year due to gang violence in the USA

300 people were beheaded in Mexico which is a country in the continent of North America

Stop calling Africa

Africa is the safest continent in the whole world

Go travel the world and see violence so you would know Africa is safe

I haven't mentioned the murder rates in Columbia, favela in brazil






You're cursed

You need to take your dumbass across the world and then decide if Africa is cursed

God bless you.

front page worthy. Kudos to her

emorse:

Can't you recognise an hyperbolic statement when you see one? Besides the fallen angels were demons (if my little knowledge serves me right).

You never acknowledged it either. Even worse, you shot at the person who did with so much venom.
@bolded, you personalised the black race in earlier comment like you're the only one who's proud to be black. Like acknowledging an achievement by a different race makes one "less black".
By the way, Ben is a great man.

Grow up man. Sounding tough on a faceless forum doesn't make you a tough guy.

So whites are no longer angels but demons (you keep getting funnier). After asking what my race has accomplished, you turn around and admit Ben is a great guy (see confusion). Yes I'm unapologetically proud to be a black man, the question you asked earlier shows you feel contrary. so once again get lost.

emorse:

Can your innovative medical history as a race transplant a face? If no, please give honour to whom it is due. What these guys have achieved is no mean feat.

so that makes them descendants of fallen angels as the other person claimed. please point out where I discredited the medical feat. furthermore, what do mean by "your race"? so you aren't black as well. lol. well last I checked, Ben Carson pioneered an innovative medical history and he is my race. So get lost you racist bigot

ThinkSmarter:
there is nothing like a55 licking, I was really flabbergasted by the medical feat. I'm not suffering from inferiority complex as u hv alleged.
Whether you admit it or not, the Caucasoid race hv made upto 90% of discoveries and inventions.
U hv berated me in the course of trying to make ur opinion, which is not fair.
I hv my phone and my fingers, would hv paid back to u in ur own coin.
But, no. Self control is a virtue.
I hv to prove to u that there is a difference between being a literate and being educated.

90 percent of inventions? where did you get your stats? Hollywood? You were a55 licking whites, pump and plain, own up. here's a discovery you can make on your own: Google the Kemets from which chemistry is derived. also Google inventions by africans and African Americans which were patented but hidden by whites. don't bring sentimentality to this. other readers need a balanced view of their own identity

ThinkSmarter:
The whites are amazing, they must hv been descendants of the fallen angels.
They ingenuity is extra ordinary.
Good job Explorer.

medicine and surgery did not even begin with Caucasians. this racial boot licking bespeaks ignorance and an inferiority complex. a piece of advice, do some research on medical pioneers and build yourself some self esteem.
