That's the back door expedited process. Don't argue.

Note all: As was said today, expedited requires a flight ticket or itinerary and a $60 money order.
It takes 1 week.


I know too much math and have too much sense to rack up credit card debts unnecessarily.
Loan for school fees is an investment in my future, credit card to buy non longterm life investments no make sense.

So basically your New Nigerian passport will be mailed to you in Texas in one week time correct?

I'm asking because mine was expedited & was available for pick up the next morning.

MackyNaija:

You'll need to be more detailed concerning the loan part.

How much are you borrowing?
What's the cost of your school fees and living expenses?
If you have enough to cover your entire cost, no need to fear anything.

Nigerians toooo fear to borrow money, I just collected half of the $12k, I deh even find more to borrow. cheesy

Just be extra cautious when borrowing money.

You don't wanna be stuck in a cycle of paying back debts.

When you're unable to pay back those debts they become deliquent and your credit history is severely impacted.

You can't do anything in this country with bad credit from renting an apartment, to buying a car plus getting a federal job you really need good credit.

Just finished paying over $5000 in Credit Card Debt to Citi Bank, Capital One Bank & Discover Bank.

I was paying only the minimum payment every month & came to realise those banks were actually playing me.

I was paying almost $200 in Credit Card Interest every month.

No wonder the only want you to pay the minimum payment which is only $25/month so in the long run they make more money out of you.

Done at the Consulate, no issues.
Start to finish was 1hour 15mins - I came verrry early.

Too many redundant activities, doesn't take up to 20mins for the actual process.

I also renewed my Passport at the Nigerian Consulate in Atlanta Georgia around September last year.

I paid an extra $60 for expedited processing.

So I ended up spending a night at Comfort inn around Market Blvd in Roswell Atlanta.

Very Cheap hotel with a Nice Breakfast. I only paid about $80 for the night.

I went back to the Consulate the following morning around 10:00 AM and my passport was ready for pick up.

I picked up my Passport and headed straight to the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport to catch my flight back to New York City.

Travel / Re: 8 Things You Need To Know About New Zealand by LUCAS99: 3:56am On Oct 16, 2018
suxes2005:


It's not real.

NZ does not have 2 years working permit.

You should check their website for the kinds of work permits
available to Nigerians.

SHALOM

New Zealand actually have a 2 year working permit for citizens of certain countries.

But I don't think is available to Citizens of Nigeria.

It's very similar to the Australia Subclass 462 Visa.

A friend of mine who is a U.S. Citizen actually moved Temporarily to Queensland Australia using the same route.

I'm also looking into it as I plan to spend some time overseas.

I haven’t abandoned this thread. School is on my neck like crazy. There’s always one assignment or essay or quiz coming up and it’s hitting me back to back; I’m trying to catch. Abeg bear with your boy. Biko.


Happy new month guys

grin grin grin

It's that way my Brother.

I remember taking Physics, Chemistry, Differential Equation & English during a single semester.

Those professors nearly killed me with quizzes, assignment, Tests & Group Presentation.

I finally figured my way around

I now take 2 easy courses + 2 hard courses every semseter.

2 of those courses must be online while the remaining 2 courses will be in Class.

it could be those types of soap used for good luck, money, wife or husband etc. grin
or it could be bleaching type too, since it is illegal to sell in the UK, may be difficult to find.

grin grin grin

This table you're shaking...

Meanwhile I usually use Irish Spring OR Dove.

They both work perfectly fine.

You should be able to get them from the Grocery Store OR Pharmacy Shop.

hello lucas i have apparently been around the town centre in wolverhampton and i have gone around birmingham as well must african stores re like they dont do it...i checked amazon but its 18 pounds on amazon, soap that they re selling 600 hundred naira in nigeria.....mshewwww

Better spend the $18 on amazon & get the soap you need.
If you continue converting from Dollar to Naira & vice versa you will never spend any money.

I believe you still Fresh off the Boat but with time you will adjust.
I used to do same exact thing just like you when I first moved to the United States until I got my first job and started earning in dollars.

Just Last Week I wanted to make Egusi Soup but I couldn’t find any stores selling Palm Oil, I had to take the Train to a neighboring city about 45 minutes away before I could find an African Store.

I ended up paying almost $18 for a small bottle of palm oil that shouldn’t cost more than #600 in Nigeria.
After Buying everything I needed to make Egusi Soup & Beef Stew I ended up spending almost $150.

Normally I don’t spend more than $100/month when I Strictly eat American food only during the course of the month.

Everyone has their own destiney , so don’t bash anyone that they must make it in 5-10 years . Whatever making it means to you . Adjusting to the American system and getting settled can take a long time LEGITMETELY. Most people do not go Doing 419 eventually catches up with people so becaseful.

5years - 10 years is more enough time to adjust into the American system.

The use of such language here will not be overlooked next time.

I know you have access to all sorts of doctored documents so as to throw them around in an attempt to deceive people.

Don't even try to use this section for any unholy activity.

Justwise I have utmost respect for you but I'm not one to let anybody disrespect me including You.

If there are any part of story that doesn't add up bring it to attention and I will be more than happy to answer you.

But saying someone can forge a United States Passport & a United States Paasport Card is a fallacy.

If you understand the consequences of such action which include federal imprisonment, you wouldn't be making such claims.

No she is not the only one, I'm one of those who sees you as a questionable character, I follow your story for a long time and it doesn't add up.

Your display of imaginary wealth is just a trap to clean up greedy and unsuspecting individuals.


People need to be careful believing anything you post here.

What & what doesn't add up.

Let's start from there...

Thanks you very much . He has questionable source of income and immigration history. I’m reposting old his posts because they contradict each other. People like him spoil our name abroad and is very confident in doing so.

If you aren't satisfied with my answers to your questions then get outta here with your bullshit...

Heck I'm not even answerable to you but made every effort to answer your questions.

But you were only looking for loopholes in my story to discredit me which unfortunately you didn't find.

So therefore IDGAF...

Go find something else to do with yourself...

Bye...
