mugu. What’s stopping Nigeria from teaching the terrorist a lesson themselves??

Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari have been there done that. The terrorists have continued to expand and taken over the Sahel.
Tinubu is pursuing this approach and it will work.

KingOfAmebo:
Mr. Timekeeper, show us evidence of the time when Trump tweeted and the time the Nigerian government responded, You are terribly slow because time difference doesn't affect the speed of the Internet, You type anything online everyone sees it immediately around the globe irrespective of time difference, it took hours after Trump tweeted before the Nigerian government responded, below is another video evidence to cure your ignorance.

You can go do that work yourself. I have posted on here when the Nigerian govt posted, and it was around the same time the US posted.

KingOfAmebo:
See this ones, Is Christmas day on 26th? Saying trash as always, So if Americans type anything online it takes hours before you see it here in Nigeria because it is still 25th over there... defending rubbish without sense.

Fact is, it took hours after Trump tweeted before the Nigerian government responded, whether it is 25th in America or 26th in Nigeria...the response was hours apart and there's no such thing as typing something in America for it to take hours before anyone around the world to see it, you see it seconds after it is typed in America...period.

It took me hours to get to see the response of the Nigerian government after Trump's tweet, Infact, I went on YouTube to search, Aisha Yesufu event talked about not getting responses from the Nigerian government while recording a video about the US Airstrike, she keeps scrolling her to see any updates from the Nigerian government hours after the airstrike.

We were all awake but the Nigerian government was asleep as always.

Below is the Youtube Video were Aisha Yesufu was checking for the Nigerian government response hours after the Airstrike.

You are a bit slow. It was NOT hours. It was a few minutes apart.
Dec 25th 10pm (USA) is the exact same time as Dec 26th 5am (Nigeria). I was watching everything happen live on twitter and I am in the US. It was Christmas night here when the bombs went off. You people were in the middle of the night of Boxing Day..

So many ridiculous posts.

Can the obidient propagandists on the front page rest.

These joint US-Nigerian air strikes have been publicly discussed since November as part of the strategy between Nigeria and the US against terrorists. It’s not out of the blue. And Tinubu reiterated it last week that all terrorist cells will be destroyed.

So why the dramatic takes? More strikes are coming and it’s all according to President Tinubus security plan.

Checkmate to the terrorists and their sympathisers
Checkmate to propagandists too. You absolving Tinubu of responsibility for the bombing will only make him look good to northerners - a fine line he has been threading. So continue. Lol!

SmartyPants:
Talking obvious gibberish. The strike occurred in the early morning of the 26th, which is today. It is being reported as the 25th by the American press, because it is still the 25th over there.

They are just grasping at straws. It’s currently December 25th 10:07 pm in the United states right now. I believe it’s currently December 26th 5:07am in Nigeria right now.
The Nigerian government twitter page and the US Africon page all posted the same time as Trump about 4 hours ago.

The Nigerian ministry of defence even already posted this 21 hours ago on Dec 24th before the strikes happened. The 2 countries are clearly working together.

omoredia:
Sultan is not happy nah. US should run this country for us abeg

Tinubu and the US are working together hand in hand to get the terrorist cells destroyed.
It’s a thing of joy to all the good people of Nigeria. All the haters of Nigeria can keep lamenting about the good news though.

More strikes are coming. Keep crying.

They targeted the Lakurawa terrorist group.
Well done President Tinubu!
He has warned everyone at the National Assembly during the budget rollout. Every terrorist cell will be attacked in the coming weeks. Expect more strikes.

Arewa must not complain. They must allow this important work be done in coordination with the US.

omoredia:
Nigerian govt shame on u. Sebi u said u cant bomb terrorists in Nigeria because sambisa forest is too thick

frog12:
ah, nigeria dey weak

see as dem pull nigeria pants down

Tinubu said last week that they are focused on the terrorists and will be attacking their enclaves.

They have started now, in coordination with US intelligence and capabilities.
Why are you still complaining?

omoredia:
Nigerian govt shame on u. Sebi u said u cant bomb terrorists in Nigeria because sambisa forest is too thick

KingOfAmebo:
The Nigerian government have not come out to say anything about the strike. This should tell us that they weren't informed and the US government is making it look like they were informed so it doesn't look like an invasion.

If it was Peter Obi that spoke the same time the American government conducted the strike, Bayo Onanuga and his shameless fellow APC spokesperson would have responded with a speed of light, but hours after the airstrike by America none of them have spoken...they have suddenly become dummb.

Shame on the Nigerian government and the compromised military architecture, a deadly strike you cannot conduct for over 15 years was done in just one night.

Now that the strike has started, expect more to come... except the Nigerian government start prosecuting and eliminating known terrorists sponsors and sympathyzers in government and outside government to save face.





Is Pete Hegseth now the spokesperson for the Nigerian government? You people just enjoy deceiving yourselves.

You want the American government to inform the terrorists filled Nigerian government before they strike so terrorists in government will leak the information to their brothers in the forests. Make una dey play, the botched Chibok girls rescue mission already tought the American government a lesson on how not to trust the Nigerian government with Intel.



I am current enough to know the strike was conducted on December 25, 2025 but the Nigerian government is issuing a statement the following day, didn't you check the date on the statement you uploaded? Have they ever taken this long to respond to statements by Peter Obi?

The Nigerian government and ministry of foreign affairs have both tweeted about the strikes in Sokoto.

It was coordinated by America and Nigeria. This is the official Nigerian government page 3 hours ago.

Wow!

Ashirioluwa:
$235 per person

Thank you for this.

aiguobs:
The green card is 235 dollars per person. I paid 1410 for a family of 6 with my access bank visa gold card.

Okay thanks. Please did you have to submit any other forms? Like the i485 cos that’s what I saw when I went to the USCIS website?

Ashirioluwa:
- Visit the USCIS' “Case Status Online” tracker.
- Enter your Receipt Number.
- Click check status

See the link below

Just for your information.
When a new immigrant enters the U.S. for the first time with an immigrant visa, the immigration officer at the POE will stamp the immigrant passport with an I-551 endorsement that serves as a temporary green card and proof of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, allowing the immigrant to work and reside before the physical green card arrives.

The I-551 stamp, combined with the immigrant visa in your passport, functions as a temporary green card for up to one year from the date of entry. 

You can take your passport to the social security office to apply for a social security number if you don't have one yet.

Hi, thanks for this info. Apparently the homeland security at the border control already ordered for our social security numbers when we landed and we had no idea. I went to the social security office and they said it was already ordered and we should expect it via mail.

Please can i ask how much it is to apply for the green card for the applicant and each beneficiary?

aiguobs:
Good evening all. Please how do I track my green card?

Hi please can i confirm how much the green card is for each person cos im seeing $1500 to submit the i485 form and my eyes are turningonitsown.
So if a family of 4 relocated is that $1500 for each person?

Amoj4682:
Hi all, just wanted to ask why people living overseas still come to Nigeria for interview why not transfer the case to Embassy in your new location provided you have the resident permit of the country for the US preference visa to processed over there.

For my own case, when I was submitting my documents to CEAC last year my UK visa was expiring in May 2025. We didn't know where we would be to complete the process since many things take years, that's why i chose Lagos. We only renewed the visa again a few months ago.

Ellie123:
Good day guys,
I have been scheduled for my visa interview f3 and I just submitted some documents on the CEAC (pictures,calls etc) and I don’t know how long it will take for the documents submitted to be approved because my in person document review is soon.
And what other documents should I upload to show proof of relationship?

Bank transfers or western union transfers.
Call logs/whassap chats

aiguobs:
Congratulations

Thank you bro.

Its been one long journey and I finally got my F3 visa (formally F1 but I got married and pivoted).

aiguobs:
Had my interview on the 13th of November, showed administrative processing on the 14th, showed issued on the 17th which was on Monday, then ready for pickup on the 20th of November.

Haa, mine is not even showing administrative processing at all. It just keeps saying 'no results'. Is it the CEAC visa status tracker you were using?

aiguobs:
Please I want to ask is there any way IOS can deliver my passport to me instead of traveling to Lagos? I already scheduled an appointment, but I want it delivered instead. Thanks

Hi sorry to disturb, please can i ask how long from the interview date before the tracker showed that visa was issued? I just want to have an idea of number of days.

Also if you check the OIS website, there are other pickup locations across Nigeria, not just Lagos and Abuja. So you might have one in your city, but youll have to pay for the service for them to take it to that branch.

Oluwa18:
The petition has not expired. Still active . I said in my post that I write or call nvc every year to keep the petition active

Check the bulletin for where your mums category stands now. Use her priority date to see when it might be her turn to submit documents.
This will tell you how long it will take for your current application. Also look at the category your dad would submit under if he's the one applying and look at the priority dates they are currently attending to, and compare.

Once you know the timeline to submit documents for both categories, this can help you guage which will be faster. After being documentarily qualified the rest of the process till the interview is 1 year.

In some cases, the mother-child application is better for interview cos they hardly reject it. But you have to consider your household size and current dependents if you can afford it.
I believe the spouse application is faster but might go under more scrutiny at interview.

Compare the pros and cons of both.

aiguobs:
I opened but I discovered that all you have to do is to track your passport on the CEAC website. When it shows issued, you go to the OIS website put in your passport no. When it shows that it is ready for pick up, you book an appointment then go for pick up. At least that is what I am doing.

Okay.
I opened an account on the AVITZ page, the page the link takes you to, but it doesn’t bring up anywhere to update phone number and email, as instructed on the sheet.
I’ll keep tracking it then, thanks.

aiguobs:
You will have to pay the sum of 220 dollars before you can get your green card. It would have been better if you paid it here in Nigeria before you travelled to reduce your wait time when you get to the US.

hi, after interview, please did you open an online account anywhere before you collected your passport back.

realone1917:
Goodday guys, after successful interview and approved they said they will contact by SMS
and email for passport pickup,
please how long does this usually take to come through?

Please can you explain the process you followed after the interview. Many thanks.

aiguobs:
But you can still upload it though

Thanks. I am uploading everything now.

apach4ever:
Neither, I was worried but figured if he noticed anything missing he would have told us.

Okay. Did you upload all your photos evidence of relationship evidence stuff on the CEAC account before the document review? I did not upload any of this and took it physically.

aiguobs:
Good day all. Please for those that have gone for document review, how is it like? How did you arrange your document for the consular officer to see? Pardon my questions I just don’t want to make any mistakes. Thank you and have a blessed new month of November.

Don't forget to print the receipt of payment from your CEAC account. I forgot to print a receipt and those printer guys in front of the street charged me 3k for 1 page.

Just ignore those guys and have all your documents. When u get inside the embassy. They'll tell you the order to arrange the documents.

ecomallchemistt:
Nothing serious , just make sure you carry all the documents they requested for.

If any document is missing , they’d ask you to bring it on the day of your interview.

After checking your docs , theyd put it in a file and SEAL it , you are not expected to open it.

You’d take it along on the day of your interview and the consular officer will open it when you commence your interview.

Cheers !

During document review, did you have any document missing that they asked you to bring on the day of the interview? Or was it all tagged complete?

apach4ever:
It went well. Didn't spend up to 5 minutes. Interviewer confirmed I had done DNA during USCIS process, then returned my documents. Asked routine questions like if I or my wife have been previously married, any issues with law enforcement or immigration, have we lived outside the country before and are the kids our biological children. He confirmed our financial sponsors made enough to cover us and asked who lives with my mum. That was all. Kept our passports and by the next day the status had changed to issued. Was at OIS before the end of the week and we scheduled free pickup for the following week.

Can I just ask, during your document review, did they tick complete or incomplete, before you went for the interview.

Wow congrats, I hope mine is this easy too.
