Travel › Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by marshall69: 8:23pm On Mar 18, 2021

Hello My Fellow Nairalanders,

I need to apply for a passport renewal as a DIY, and hope to correct/replace my first name and my place of birth.

Already did my research on the NIM website (https://immigration.gov.ng/standard-passport/), and I undertsand that I need to (1) write an application letter for the "Correction of Error(s) and (2) pay the non-refundable administrative charges of N30K.

Please does any have any experience for this particular case/scenario? Your advice/insight will be highly appreciated.

Kudos to you.

Nice... Thanks for the message.. Most importantly, before you make a decision, seek God's face!

Bless!

Indeed, seek His face & His plan becuase God’s plan is way better than anything you can ever come up with

Again this write-up isn't for everybody, but I just thought it wise to share for those of you who might be in my shoes. Please excuse my typo, doing this with a bit of tiredness from work.

Unfortunately my Canada immigration pursuit has been truncated for now...NOT TRYING to DISCOURAGE anybody from immigrating to CANADA

I only started comtemplating to relocating out of the Nigeria on March 25th, 2016 after I had sensed in my spirit that God wanted me to leave Nigeria (again, I didn't say I heard God's voice oh!). Meanwhile I was working for a multi-national company in Lagos, salary was okay, bla bla but I never took any action towards relocating.

My belief is that God has a plan for me and I only want to go where He wants me to God, so for the next 1 and half years I was ruminating with the idea and checking my heart for peace. Eventually, I decided to move to Canada after it became clear that it was time for me to leave Nigeria in early 2018. I did the whole shebang - WES (BSc) & IELTS. My first IELTS score was LRWS - 8,8.5,6.5,7.5 with a CRS 0f 376.

The application for my IELTS remark was denied and I only had the option to re-write the test inorder to boost my CRS score. I didn't have the morale/nudging to study for IELTS again, instead I had the convinction to start believing God for a job. Getting a job offer in Canada would go a long way in actualizing the dream, so I started checking with my company's Canadian offices if they had an opening for my role, but unfortunately someone was hired from our Mexico office to Toronto a few months before and the office didn't have any more slots.

Not long after, I found an internal job listing in one of our offices in Western Europe (decided not to mention the exact country becos I want to remain anonymous), after checking my heart if this is what God wants for me and discussing with some people I respect, I applied for the role. Did the interviews and got the job offer late last year. Finally moved/transferred to the new office in January this year.

My brothers & sisters, I'm writing from this Strong western european country where I now live & work. The company I work for practically took care of the costs from visa, air-travel. I also got a relocation allowance and even had the option to move my furnitures & other house hold items with a sea & air shipping company all expenses-paid. Did I mention that I'm also single with only a Nigeria BSc :-). Life for me here is great and I can work in this new country for as long as I want to. Weather is less colder than Canada and I can be back in MMA2 within 6-8 hours.

So what's the moral of the story? Again, this is not for everybody. So here it is - I could still be back in Nigeria wasting time trying to get to Canada, whereas God has already prepared a much better place for me here in this Strong Western Europe country. My parting comment - always check your heart for peace and be open minded to God. I'm not trying to discourage any body from chasing the Canada dream, all I'm saying be open to other options and enter your God given destiny.

Please what the best cost effective way one can use to convert funds to foreign currency when relocating besides PAT/BAT & aboki/mallam?

Thanks, how long does it take to get a revised score after remark?

sunvick:
Ohhh dear missed by .5. Raise a bank draft of 15k and go to BC office, you will be given a from to feel.
You surely will get a raise in score but if you have spare cash register for another one.

You guys should wake up IELTS is ready!!!

Cancel fire, the persin wan die like Yar' Adua then...

UnknownT:
With the results of the presidential election released so far, there is a high probability that any of the 2 major candidates may be declared winner today. My question, if GMB eventually wins, will it affect this recruitment either by postponement till his government settles down or outright cancellation knowing that NNPC is a major player in our economy? Happy New Week All!

KINGTELLER:
Hi folks
Let me whet your appetite a bit.

Disclaimer: All figures stated below may not be the actual figure stipulated on SS scale, but it serves as guide on what to expect if u are eventually successful

Housing + sercurity allowance is over 2million Naira payable upfront every January.. You get 13th Month as 1 month consolidated salary. Your leave allowance is 13% of your annual salary. You also have the Gift Voucher ( NNPC pays in cash about 50K ).. You may get a monthly meal allowance of over 50k depening on your location...But this are the basics, except you working the feild location where you get 13% of Monthly Salary as Shift allowance and a daily field allowance of 3k per day(may have been increased) and hazard allowance of 20K monthly (may have also been increased).Hope this will help you.All the best

with Pensions benefits I believe....morale is high :-)

Well, back then we had a panel of about 5 - 8 people conducting the interview (and there were different panels for different sets of people).

Standard interview questions were:

Tell us about yourself
what do you know about NNPC
List 3 or 4 subsidiaries of NNPC (acronym and full meaning). might want to know what some of them actually do
questions related to individual CV and specialty
Some general questions which vary depending on the mood in the room
your question(s)

Back then, each interview session lasted about 15mins per person.

It should be a lot sterner this time around because the spirit is high......
