Hello guys, is there any freemasonry lodge in Glasgow?

LagosismyHome:
To be on the safe side ..... use 27th to 25th Dec

Thank you ma

Guys a quick one. My balance opened on Friday 27th November (I deposited Thursday afternoon 26th), is my 28th day account statement 27th - 24th or 27th to 25th?

Greenville990:
The verification of my ID (international passport) has returned "failed" a couple of times. I even tried my NIMC Card (that one that has ATM chip). Same story

How did you navigate this challenge

Use voters card manually (mailing). They have issues with their international passport verification API.

Why the hype on all these primary projects

Aderin0la:
Please has anybody here paid tuition/tuition deposit recently *(between last week and today)* and you already got your TELEX receipt? Please what bank did you use ? What was the Form A exchange rate and approximately how many days did it take?

Use stanbic, processing time = 2 days, rate = 517 or even lower now.

Tadebisi:
The calculation is wrong, the currency you have is supposed to be naira and currency you want will be pounds. As at yesterday it was 511.

Thanks for this

Someone please, is this particular display here the same we use in calculating pof?

And what will happen if the rate so skyrocket before the 28 days matures?

Phenmeson:
Both university are good. In terms of ranking and recognition, Greenwich is ahead. Roehampton is in a posh area. As a student l, you can live in Greenwich or close by for cheaper apartments. You can easily get your 9ja/African stores in Greenwich, Lewisham or Peckham. All the best in your decision.

Thanks man!

Good day everyone! Please between Roehampton and Greenwich which is a better shot in terms of quality and location

LagosismyHome:
Yes this bank statement is still within 31 days to use ...so good to go

What if the money have reduced?

Oloshi83:
Unfortunately, this is not 100% correct. If it was true, agents wouldn’t exist.

Airlines typically offer agents bulk seats at discounted prices not available on their websites because they have the reach and can often attract the numbers required. These discounted tickets would normally have some sort of restrictions and it is a way for them to push sales especially when they’re struggling to put bums on seats.

As an individual, you can’t buy more than say <365 tickets a year assuming you travel every day of the year. Which is pretty much impossible. An agent can sell that in a matter of hours/days hence the exclusive deals they get. It’s pretty standard and makes business sense.

Free the guy, he want to be right all the time.

justwise:
You don't know what you are talking about.

Na so, ask the fella how and stop arguing blindly.

The question you should be asking: what kind of business deal allows those agents to have bulk access to tickets so cheap than when one uses the direct website service of the airline?

You won’t ask that question oo, but will keep forming OG as usual, lol

justwise:
[/b]

No, agent's ticket price + commission will not be cheaper than that of airline especially when you are buying online.

Stop arguing baba, I have pals that offer such services.

Thanks for the mention.

Personally I cannot in good faith recommend that anyone should move to Nigeria. You should move to Nigeria because that's is where you want to be, not based on recommendation from someone else.

DO NOT MOVE TO NIGERIA IF:

You need uninterrupted electricity.

You need safe pipe borne water.

You need hygienic waste management system.

You are anxious about safety.

You need a government with clear policies.

CONSIDER MOVING TO NIGERIA IF:

You fancy yourself as the early Americans who came in killed all the Indians, took their lands and became overlord. Pretty drastic statement I know but to survive in Nigeria you need to be near ruthless. Not unlawful but ruthless. It has been my experience that being seen as kind, generous, caring is taken as a sign of weakness and a mumu.

To OP:

I was born in Nigeria and grew up here till I finished poly.

I retired back to Nigeria 18 months ago after 33 years in the USA. As an American citizen i could pretty much move to almost any country in the world and live there successfully on my retirement income. I chose to come back to Nigeria because frankly I love Nigeria and I could give my little means back to the country that gave me so much.

There hasn't been one day that I didn't wish I returned much earlier as Nigeria is good, very good, to me. This is much to the chagrin of most on here whop sees Nigeria as nothing but a death wish. I suppose I could share there macabre ideology about Nigeria if a was a 20 something year old that is still finding himself.

Moving to Nigeria should never ever be done on a whim. It's should be attacked like a military assault.

My move started around 2010. After I left in 1986, I didn't return for a visit until 2006, 20 years gone. On that trip I was able to see some changes and opportunities in Nigeria. So I made a plan to start spending my yearly vacations in Nigeria so I can get used to it. Between 2006 and 2010 I came home once every two years.

Come 2010 I really started putting things in gear. I came home much more frequently, some years twice. Between 2015 and 2019 I came home around 4 times a year. This is important, the back to back trips. It's on these trips that I convinced myself that I could actually do this. Live in this near lawless, ungovernable country and actually have fun and pursue opportunities.

One sunny day in 2019 sitting at my desk in the office in Los Angeles I upped and quit my lucrative career and move back to Nigeria. Now I moved back to my own house that I've built in that timeframe and fully furnished, my own vehicles that I've stashed in that timeframe.

I wrote all this in detail for others to read carefully as they make their choices. One of the most difficult things for returnees is when they move back and they have to rent or live with families that they hardly know. Some think they can only make it in Lagos or Abuja and pay N1M a year rent. I pay N0 rent. Some can't drive and take Uber. I pay N0 because I drive myself (mostly after heavy praying).

You cannot do a successful business without being on the ground and doing your own critical study. All the studies and plans that I made about Nigeria while I was in the USA has been thrown away. It's near useless.

So in closure, move to Nigeria because it's what you want to do, not because someone think it's a good idea. Move to Nigeria with residence and vehicle already sorted out. Have a bank account already funded (you can do this while your win the oversea).YOu can fund your bank without going through anyone so no one will know if you are a thousaniare or millionaire. And for the love of god do not use your actual physical home address at the back. The staff are suspects.

Good luck too all of us, those of us coming back, those of us heading out and those of us already here.

PS: Rely on no one. Your friends/family have their own palava going on. Most of the promises made too you while you're in the abroad will not pan out.

PPS: Nigeria is blindingly expensive, frankly I don't know how some do it. You will need to stop using pounds/dollars to justify at some point. I have a gen that I run and it consumes N5K gas in 3 days. Some people only make N20/N25K per month. So relatively I am wasteful.

Now this is unbiased and critical view unlike the ones I drag you at times. Well done senior man

Thanks

mimilyrics:
That's the cost in of the Tb test in $ but when you book your test, the naira equivalent (currently N57,800) is given. It's not part of the visa fee, it's paid to IOM via deposit or bank transfer.
Also, payments on TLS are for value added services for ease of submission and are optional except for the UserPay fee to use the VI VAC.

Mobilipia:
if there's no complications, you'll get your certificate immediately.

Why did they state the $150 is part of the visa fee? From the information here one has to pay some pounds while booking on TLS

Thanks

TheGuyFromHR:
You get the TB certificate the same day as the test.

Guys how long does TB result take to come out lately, from scheduling to obtaining cert?

TheGuyFromHR:
Standard Chartered is $300.

,

Okay, AccessBank, Access Diamond (green card) and Polaris. At least Two among these three is still on with $1k limits.

All visa cards.

Sonarirok:
Any bank will do.

Keep in mind getting a debit card will take about 5 working days or more. If you hope to book an appointment soon you are best of looking for someone who has a dollar account.

You guys should try standard chattered and then AccessBank, their limits is still around a thousand USD

Arhmiee:
They use oanda currency converter.
https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/

Thanks for the timely response

Please at what rate will the embassy convert the money on my account for the 28 days or you guys normally lodge pounds from black market?

The same monarch involved with real estate scams in Lagos, and couldn’t be arrested because he’s a king.

He shouldn’t make mistakes of the ondo yahoo yahoo monarch.

Those who lives in glass houses shouldn’t be doing pebbles throwing competitions.

Kabiyesi be warned!!!

Our igbo brothers when are we going to start getting appointment given to other ethnic groups in your states.

Have you been to any Eastern state before? Let’s start there

Qulink1:
Okay,
If you've successfully set the DNS to Afternic's and also listed there then you Landing page should be that of Afternics.

Thanks man. So I should wait for 48hrs and see if it’s gonna reflect yeah?

Qulink1:
(1) you want to list at Afternic right?log in to your acc,add the domain to your portfolio, add the price,follow necessary instructions till you submit for processing.
(2) which Landing page do you intend to use (Afternic, Dan or Epik) anyone,go to your domain in namecheap and change the DNS to your preferred DNS of the marketplace you want to use as Landing page(I don't know much about namecheap but it's always the same thing amongst Registras)
Lastly I guess the email you are getting, are from Afternic, Just ignore till your domain is over 60days, you will be directed to opt in to their Fast transfer network.
I hope I treated your questions to your understanding. If not ask again for proper clarification.
Thanks

Hello, thanks for trying to assist. I have done the step one above but I didn’t get any mail actually and a search with another browser for my domain name only brings out that it’s just registered on namecheap

I don’t really know how to locate those options in number 2 for landing page but I have successfully set the DNS to afternic DNS

Please how do I make it visible for sale on afternic

Good evening ladies and gents. I bought a domain yesterday on namecheap, it’s been long I visited this thread. Please I need step to step guide on how to get it listed on afternic. I just added the name on my afternic list page and set the price and saw a prompt that I will get an email message from whois or so but I don’t really grasp. I know that I haven’t done the necessary DNS stuffs et al. Kindly guide me.

Sometime one just have to make do with what’s available.

I will buy all the whores in LA, run STD test on all of them. We lock up till lockdown is over�

This life sha, chop life with no apology!
