kudos

saintsola:
Explanation was given in written by UK immigration that my passport has been forwarded to NIS.

But for NIS, there was no official confirmation yet, just personal connections.

equlibrium:
ha! But you are wrong man.
your caustic nature and posts are a regular feature here too. You do contribute too, just never anything meaningful

justwise:
Keep your commendation to people who kept this thread going, starting a thread means nothing if i don't contribute meaningfully to people's questions. I take no credit for that.

You are just too chicken to use that patronizing commendation to cover up your silliness.

equlibrium:
so commending you for opening a thread that turns out to be informative for people makes me hypocritical right?
You need to get yourself checked man, your ship of sanity seemed to have sailed a long time ago and done left you behind. Does this make you happy now? Am I frank enough for you now? Rabbish.

saintsola:
Dear All,

I have been to Nigeria Immigration Service in Abuja to request for my passport and was told it has not been forwarded yet. Further, I was made to realize that embassies does not relate directly with NIS, except through the Ministry of Foreign affairs. But was adviced that nothing can be done until ministry of foreign affairs forwards my 2 international passports to NIS.

How true is this, and how long does it take Ministry of Foreign Affairs to forward my passports to NIS?

monchouchou:
Yes it is true. They recognize the certificates. However, whether or not you will get a job based on your recognized certificate is a totally different matter

DSSHQ:

Caucasoid:
LoooL. Never! U never yabbed the man naaah! If at all anything looked like yab, it should be the way I called him out. Haha. I was only trying to tell d other man justwise to lighten up n all when u mentioned him coz one or two bants here n there hurts no one. As for Jenny, she should go! I don't tolerate arrogance! Her level of supposed exposure should distinguish her from the crowd. Even me wey I dey think say I know one thing, from this thread u know how many things I learn from all of una? Abeg leave story! We deserve a better life to be honest! Do u know what it means to LIVE? I am tired of purposeless living waiting for pay checks at the end if every other month and continuing the cycle the next month, doing the same thing over and over again, same routine and all. I wanna SURF! Goldcoast it is!!! I wanna partake in global events, Go to australian open and all. So many things you won't think about in this part of the world coz of the system! *Cheers

saxywale:
just got back from work. Justwise. Stop responding to momoya... the character is a robot.. She knows absolutely nothing about Nigeria hence no point arguing with her. You would just keep going round in circles.

momoyama:
Did you read NONE of my posts? When did I say I grew up in the United States? I left that country at the age of one year and two months. I only returned for any length of time to attend a private boarding school for which my parents paid. Aside from that, I use the USA only as a transit for flights to countries that do not have direct flights to Nassau.

I was a US citizen only as an accident of birth. In every meaningful sense I am a pure Bahamian, born to two Bahamians who live and lived in the Bahamas their whole lives aside from University.

It does not matter where you are born. It matters what you ARE. Jesus was born in a stable. Does that make him a horse??

momoyama:
I never said US was not colonized. I said it was never a group of separate peoples cobbled together by the colonizer. Africa was grouped into colonies based on the needs of the colonizer, not the locals. Hence, look how many languages are spoken in Nigeria as native tongues. Therefore you cannot compare the difficulties with those of the USA. But Nigeria will get there with time and patriotism.

momoyama:
I was a dual citizen. My father was studying in New York when I was born. But I have since renounced my U.S. Citizenship. There are no income taxes in the Bahamas, so it does not make sense to keep U.S. citizenship if you live here, since Uncle Sam tries to tax you on worldwide income. So now I am only a Bahamas citizen.

Amdan:
Ok. But from indication, they are satisfied with my wife's documents and the bank statement because it was my chid's application that was said to be awaiting further enquiries. The interesting question now is how do can/will they verify a national population commission certificate issued by a local government secretariat?

momoyama:
The fact is that EVERYWHERE you go on earth, there are problems. But you always have to put them in perspective. I agree with Helpee when he says Americans sacrificed and worked to make the USA what it is. Same can happen for Nigeria. In fact, in comparing, you have to understand that Nigeria (like most of Africa) began life not as a unified people, but separate tribes bound together by colonialism. the US did not have that disadvantage. So when you criticize Nigeria and expect it to become a wonder overnight, everyone should remember that IT WILL TAKE TIME. In the meantime, I prefer concentrate on the positives. We had a famous Bahamian religious pastor called Myles Munroe who sadly died in a plane crash in November. That man loved Nigeria so much that it was his second home. The way he talked about it was like paradise on earth. I guess he found the good to concentrate on rather than trying to tear it down. So no matter how much negativity I see on here, it is not going to put me off my positive impression of Naija and the belief that its future is positive.

bebe2:
good man,

nothing do u.

patriotism indeed

momoyama:
I was born in the US (New York). I (unfortunately) went to boarding school there for four years. And I live a half hour flight away, so I know the place pretty inside out.

ulale:
Hello house, I need help, i was refused a uk visit visa back in 2010 and I intend to apply again now and I know there is a space in application form where they asked reasons for refusal which I can't remember and I lost the refusal letter because it's been long

tonero230:

tonero230:

dxpx:
Thanks @justwise... Really appreciate your swift response. *fingers crossed*

helpee:
. @ Momoyama, you can see the kind of people you want to listen to about nigeria. Going defensive about Britain not being racist while insisting that his own country is a coffin. These are unpatriotic nigerians. Anyway, how will justwise be relevant on nairaland if nigeria is ok.....if we have to travel without visa? So so pathetic for the kind of citizens we have in this country

PrinceAdeAde:
I hear you justwise but I still struggle to grasp the standardization of these rules, for instance, how different is the info I shared about accommodation options and cost different from those who share similar info on docs,hospitals and airlines cost/pricing?

Does these guys contact you before they post such info?

helpee:
yes sir. Hypocrisy is when you run away from boko haram only to be pursued by racism.....run my brother

helpee:
unlike you that believes every garbage in papers, I don't. I didn't give you the advise....the link your fellow posted here gave you the advice. Why should I believe you are safe when the link says you may come back in coffin..
.so sorry I can't wish you that but that's what the link says and I still want you safe. Boko haram is thousands of kilometers away so worry about your safety first......run run run

helpee:
I copied the whole of second link and pasted it above....read it again. travel advice....if you are already in Britain, get out fast. Pls, read it again.

helpee:
I really have time today so I read the post in your link. Guess what? Britain where justwise lives a descent/secured life rank far higher than Germany in terms of racism according to your second link. In fact Britain is like number 3 while Germany is no 7. So, do you still believe the credibility of your link cos according to that story...nigerians in Britain may not come back to tell the full story. In fact, I just re read the lead....it says German racism is not directed against foreigners but internally. zero racism is what your link ascribed to Germany. By the way, German embassy in Nigeria is the most courteous in Nigeria. Those guys treat u well even if you will be denied visa. American embassy makes you sick....

Hello @justwise first I'll commend d wonderful pple here doing everything to help pple like us out of their busy schedule. Y'll are doing a great job.

I submitted my application for uk tourist visa at teleperformance at etiebet's place ikeja on dec 23 but till today I hve not gotten any feedback (email/sms) from either d embassy or teleperformance.

I'd like to know if I should be more worried than I already am or is there anyone on here in a similar dilemma.

Thanks in anticipation
