Hi I need to travel back urgently, just wondering if I can travel on expired Nigerian passport with the intention of renewing in Nigeria

taif:
Good day senior citizen, please I will be arriving UK on the 30 of January with my family by God grace,and we have plenty luggage, we have our short rent at North Yorkshire and we shall be landing at Heathrow airport,is there a mode of transportation which can be more easier to train, please your suggestion is highly recommended.

KA24DETT:
Stop passing wrong information. One of the parents have to be a Canadian Citizen or permanent residence for the child to be a citizen . Giving birth to a child in a Canadian hospital does not give the child automation citizenship like the USA. Get your info right .

Seun, JustWise, Mukina2.

SOS oo! Before people use new dispensation finish without knowing the laws. As it is, Nigerian grads who were employed by Big tech firms and got retrenched have to get a new employer on H1B within sixty days, or they return to face Emilokan, _{who is going to make Nigeria great again anyway}.

Ask here, hopefully you get a helpful response.. all the best.

Treadway:
wasn't expecting a different response.

Treadway:
lol
According to Justwise he is the ONLY one that is just wise, and all of una are talking about what you know nothing of. See the way bros said it is false without putting forward any superior information. Lol. I don't know much about this estacodes sha, but I'm tempted to believe ahiboilandgas cos after his post I was equally stunned and looked it up and found a news article in 2022 stating that estacodes for 2021 were almost $4b (unofficially this may even be more, who knows?)

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/govt-officials-estacodes-others-gulp-3-9bn-in-one-year-report/%3famp

Seriously though, something has to be done about these wastages. The three tiers of gov dey suck their own, all these ministries and parastatals go suck their own..kilode!!

studyless123:
Estacode is from $200 to $1000 depending on the grade level. Power corrupts, you have to learn how not to misuse your ability to ban despite disagreements.

ahiboilandgas:
mr i too know is it now 1400 USD per day in Firs directors level ! 2200 USD per day in pencom .that the DTA outside other add on . I never add NSWF . Dey there. If u like Ban me as usual.

ahiboilandgas:
one overseas official travels the director goes pass the annual income of a care giver ..

SIRTee15:
For utility I mean gas, water and electricity and maybe internet. For a family of 4 to 6, I really don't see how u spend that much in this UK. I have relatives with large family in London, they don't spend that much on utility.

SIRTee15:
I live in Sheffield and I can confidently say u don't live in UK. My new build house- semi terrace is 770/ month and that's on the high side. Average house rent is 600/month.
There's no way utility is up to 400 per month, what are u consuming.
U guys should relax. Una lie is becoming too annoying from both sides of the argument.

keepingmum:
This is very false budgeting. I have lived in the UK for 2 decades.
Which city is charging £800 per month for rent?? 2bed rent is about £900 upwards depending on the city. The cities with cheaper rent are often cities with no jobs or villages.


I can tell you categorically that utilities - water/gas/electric for a 2bed is around £400 per month. Then there's council tax. As long as you have a non- student living in the flat/house, u will pay which is anywhere from £100 - £170pm depending on the borough

This are core bills that MUST be paid before u move fmto feeding/tp to work/black tax (sending money back home), paying ur tuition, saving up IHS /course training for career advancement, personal savings.

What the thread poster said is a fact but 9ja will argue until they get here. This is why nigerians in the UK ignore the Japa crew because we can all see that they have been warned before they got on a plane but they refuse. Instead u want someone to accommodate u and ur family till u "find your feet". Forgetting that by "accomodating u, their own utilities bill goes up/feeding goes up, they run the risk of a neighbor reporting them for overcrowding etc.

He who has ears, let him hear

It is better to be a first class citizen in Nigeria than be a second class citizen in America, Europe or Asia.

I have achieved more than majority of my peers who relocated to America and the UK.

Many of the under 40 Nigerian youths who have the best opportunities to "Japa", but remained in Nigeria are the founders of the startups attracting over $800 million to the country in the past eight years.
There are opportunities of immense benefits for Nigerians who are ready to succeed.

Uber came to Nigeria with only their app without buying any vehicle and today they are making millions of dollars with fleet of cars for the Uber taxi service.
Four Nigerians can contribute to raise money to start a new taxi service startup and they will not need to "Japa" to anywhere.
The N300, 000 - N1,200, 000 that you need to "Japa" is enough for a lucrative venture in Nigeria.

I only advise anyone who wants to "Japa" to think twice and if you insist on leaving, don't be scammed.
With only N300, 000 you can become a member of a recognized organization of entrepreneurs and receive invitations to travel to trade fairs and other events in America, Canada and the UK.

As for me, I don't need to "Japa", because I am the CEO of my fully Incorporated digital media company since 2009 and my company has never borrowed and has done successful events for the IMAX Corporation of Canada, Dolby Laboratories of America and the High Commission of Canada with partnerships with Vuulr and Cinewav of Singapore.

Schoolhike:
Hello my people,

I need a serious advice please , I made a mistake and I need help in regards with the issue.

There was a fight in one of the 5 flats opposite mine. It resulted into police action which they came knocking at our door. I was about leaving home for work in the morning and I was asked what I can say in regards to the seen. I informed them I saw an hammer with someone I can't really describe except that the person is bald.

Now the issue is that I got a letter to come forward to the court as a withness to the crime committed by my neighbor. My mind has not been at rest since I got the letter cos of the likely public display of me as a withness.

I am thinking of going to the police station that I'm not comfortable doing this as i felt that I might not be safe living in that area anymore.
Kindly advise on this move.

And anyone with experience in such aspect should please advice.

Zahra29:
What about the very many yahoo boys, ritual killers, armed robbers, runs girls, dirty politicians and crooked professionals etc who were born and bred in Naij?

Parenting styles may vary for example hitting a child in the UK is generally seen as abuse because there are often better ways to teach and discipline a child. The majority of black boys and children in general who were raised here are doing well and are responsible. Conversely there are nigerian students who come here and get into trouble. Several during my uni days- one boy even got into trouble with the police over allegations from an oyinbo girl he was messing with.
Not every black boy here is in a gang, the same way not every young Nigerian is into yahoo or a Nigerian "prince". A lot of it is stereotypes due to media presentation.
