What makes it not true? I may decide to write my fist, second and surname name on a particular document and decides to write only my first name and surname on the other document and it'll still be acceptable unlike if I have my first, second and surname but my date of birth is different say maybe I wrote 1990 instead of 1980 and it won'tbe acceptable. So what makes it not true?
My dear you are seeing this issue from a general perspective not from the NIN’s perspective lool

These Executive chairs aren't the best for lumbar support. Get a good Ergonomic Office Chair.
Thanks for your response dear… pls do you have any recommendations?

I would recommend East London. This includes Dagenham, Romford, Ilford, Eastham, Westham, Stratford etc. You can easily access central London from these places. You will find plenty African stores there as well.

Cheers
Ahahha my dear these areas have even become expensive… the housing commotion is real, rents have increased severely

I would have to consider the option of paying for a lounge access too. I think it's just the visa thing that disqualifies us from the free accommodation. Thanks for sharing your thought.
Please let me know your experience after you fly any useful tips you could share that would help not make the transit awful

Help guys! I will be travelling to Nigeria next week via Turkish airline. The layover time is about 15 hours. The airline will be lodging passengers in a hotel. I just want to know if I need visa to be able to leave the airport and lodge in the hotel. Has anybody ever been through similar situation before? Please how did you handle it?
My dear read the terms and conditions properly of the free accommodation … i just booked Turkish airline as well. The accommodation access thingy is a very tricky one loool. I realised most Nigerians wouldn’t actually qualify for it because there are other options on Turkish airline with a shorter transit time.

I stand to be corrected if i am wrong anyways… but I personally planning to go with an alternative plans like paying for a lounge access. Its my first time flying turkish or even transit so my experience is really limited.

Honestly, I didn’t use the app. My trainer gave me a number to call, obviously there are some people who could help you get the date faster, I think that’s their job. My booking fee was £75 or so because it was a bank holiday test date and they charged £25 for their own admin fee… I paid £105 and I got the test within 2 weeks ( mind you, they only collected the payment after they’ve booked my test). I don’t have the time checking one Testi app every time like my life depend on it, I really hate stress.
Please Dm the number

Why are people booking ticket through agent? How about buying directly through airline website? For all my travels I have never bought a ticket through agent. That is just no no for me. You will avoid all these problems when you buy your ticket directly from the airline
I have always thought that agents are cheaper than purchasing directly from airline.. is that a misconception??

Hey Lexus do you think i should wait for the dispute to come to an end before commencing section 75?? Or should i kick off asap?

Also do you know how long the secrion 75 thingy goes on for before i get the money back?

Issue 1 - The only chance you have of recovery, is if it was handed over by the new owner........ Freeze your cards + report them stolen + request new cards .......

Issue 2 - How much did you pay ....... Google ads are full of scammers........ Call the airline to confirm......

This might not be a scam, but never take your chances with Google ads ........
Lexus i have finally confirmed it was a scam.. they were scammers. These scammers are really terrible, with every single passing day these scammers are evolving in their approach ohhh… please guys if anyone wants to book ticket book only from an agent that has a proper uk website. And before making any payment request for a booking summary and ensure it comes via the customer service mail box. For example if you are booking from flight centre the only mail box you should receive booking summary should be xyz@flightcentre.com.

I have spoken to American express, we are in the process of charge dispute. By the way there is a product manager here who works at Amex right?

To the guy who wrote a his story about traveling with Egyptair, well done boss your writing skill is exceptional. You have just reminded me to also share a current predicament loll

Issue 1: Guys please i left my bag on the Elizabeth line. Its been almost 3 weeks now since I filled the online form . Does anyone by any chance know what further steps I can take? The contents of the bag are mainly a very expensive laptop and my bank cards.(note- since the bag was left on the train there hasn’t been any fraudulent transactions with my cards). Please i’d appreciate any further ideas.

Issue 2: I bought a ticket from an agent whose number I found on google yesterday. The agent told me the ticket would be issued within 24-48 hours. Up till now I haven’t received the tickets. In the past, i have always received my tickets immediately. Should i be worried? Is this normal? Does anyone have an experience of receiving their tickets days after making payments to an agent? Also I used a credit card for the purchase(American express), does anyone by any chance know if amex would refund me if perhaps i have fallen for a scam.

Hey guys please has anyone flown turkish airline recently ? I understand with a nigerian passport a turkish transit visa is required? Please how much does it cost and is the process a frustrating one? Is it just way better to buy a slightly more expensive ticket (say +200-300 more)

This is a faceless forum so why would he lie? Such things are good to motivate others to believing in aiming higher.. I've got friends that think they can not earn more than 35k.
I never said he is lying oh.. i wonder why he even thinks the other guy was insinuating that he is lying. No one has actually said anything to say he was telling lies but for some reasons he believes some people are calling him liars.

I think on this forum we should all do better in understanding People’s point of view and being able to extract the most important point from a message

Where I work i have leads earning 180k per year + stock options

75k is nothing no one has ever earned, what is there to doubt.. so I believe him 100%

Sorry what do you mean? Do you mean she shouldn’t change the name on her passport or on her brp? I am confused

And why is it shege promax?

Hi guys please important question.. a friend of mine got married in 2019 but she kept using her maiden name because she was too lazy to apply for a new nigerian passport that would reflect her husband’s name. Now she is about to finally apply for a change of name on her pass post since her passport is about to expire.

She has a uk brp in her maiden name.. can she continue to use this brp even after she gets a new passport in her husband’s name. If she can’t, can she apply for update of info on her existing brp card before her new passport arrives or does she have to wait?

Her biggest concern was if her new passport comes with her husband name nd she continues using the brp card in her name, when she travels outside the uk how would she prove to the border control that its the same person for both docs. Could this cause an issue? Has anyone been through similar experience?
