For some reason Nigerian applications are reviewed and processed in Nairobi Kenya.

The Lagos and Abuja office merely processes biometrics collection, receive your passport when it's required and inscribe the visa counterfoil already processed and presented to them from Nairobi.

No your passport will not be shipped to Nairobi and returned for visa stamping, it will reflect the issuing country (Nairobi Kenya) and not Lagos.

You were correct. It was requested by office in Kenya. It showed received in abuja. All four family members got their visa. They're beyond excited.
Thank you

The IRCC that will send you a PPR (request for your passport) will most likely be the one in Nairobi but your passport will be stamped at the Canadian VAC center in Lagos or Abuja.



Thank you for responding. So if i understand correctly, passport request will come from the office in Kenya, and will be sent to Kenya.

But the visa stamp will have Lagos office on it?

Quick question house.

When Canadian embassy request for passport? Is it either Kenya or south Africa? They no longer stamp in their Nigerian office?


Just inquiring on behalf of a friend.

What you said was what I noticed and mentioned to him
Its very easy to think that White is right abs black /brown is crap in this context.
But it's not exactly so
There are trailer parks in the south
And we both know the predominant race there

True. Some places in the south occupied by whites are are scarier.

I was talking more in terms of Redlining, access to governmental loan to buy houses, segregation, Jim crow etc etc.

Do you know that the US govt through the Federal housing administration made it illegal to approve mortgage to black people?

Do you know that there's a term for when black people move to a white neighborhood? It's called blockbusting and it was used to reduce the value of a property.

So, Redlining can affect the amount of funding available for an area. The wealth of the area, the health standards and also the quality of schools.

Honestly in my view, it seems Nigeria is somewhat more or even far developed than Jamaica. All the pics posted here so far, i have not seen a place better developed than Enugu city, let alone Lagos, talk most of Abuja. I haven't seen any thing outstanding here to be frank.

Lmao. Jamaica is a more functioning Nigeria. It's like Nigeria with less money but more friendlier and working environment.

Jamaica has some badass beautiful places that naija won't ever have. You gotta visit or live there to understand.

I did say Op keep showing houses and buildings. That's not how to showcase Jamaica. Kingston isn't the whole Jamaica. The pictures I see is all Kingston Kingston to me

I live in a 99% white state and I can categorically tell you how safe my state is. The Bronx is crazily unsafe even during the day. I was praying not to get robbed by the gang groups I was seeing. I was also trying to blend in by not taking many pictures so they dont notice the JJC I was to New York and Bronx.

Vermont isn't 99 percent white, so also is NH.

It's easy to be biased or prejudiced against some certain places occupied predominantly by AA/Blacks
While I'm not dismissing your fear, the question you should ask is why? Why is it like that.
The answers might not satisfy you but it'll somewhat resolve your bias

This is actually my first time to New York. I have been living in the New England region for quite some time now and my popular route is New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. Today is my first time of leaving the New England area.
So my gist: After dropping from the bus, I had a tough time using the subway. The Address that the Airbnb host sent me was incomplete, the people I showed the address couldn’t make sense of the direction via Subway. Nevertheless, I entered the subway only to discover that I needed a Metro Card to access the train. After wondering helplessly in the subway, a good Samaritan offered to use her card to give me the pass.
I entered the subway and started another round of rigmarole. The first train I entered took me to Manhattan, my Airbnb apartment is at Brooklyn.
I contacted the guy and after much explanation, I stopped at a particular train terminal and entered the right train in the proper direction. For the first time in my life I felt so clueless.

Fellow New England. (Go PATS!!!).

Which city do you reside? I'm in Billerica, MA.

Bus trip to NY is so exhausting. All that stop, stop and more stop. The driver sef go dey drive like say na inside bus we go sleep.
What of the people wey dey enter bus, dem go dey move like snail. grin

Terrible journalism. It isn't to stop sex. It's an environmental friendly option especially for events that is less than 2 months.

Those cardboards will be recycled for something else after the event.
Also maximum weight for each bed is 400pounds

I'm pretty sure there are other sex styles that don't require lying on the bed.

The Cars Profs in the house. I need your assessment on this particular car. Mercedes Benz C300. I need the pros and cons of this car of based on the conditions of the Nigerian Roads, Fuel rate consumption, Spare part availability in the Nigerian Market (Ladipo and Co.). Your assessment would be highly appreciated because I am thinking about copping one.

P.S:- I also noticed people often sell it after using it for 1-3 years. Could there be any problems ? Tell me things(problems) to encounter if I should buy the car this week!.

Thanks in Advance!

Don't. Everyone post when they buy benz (toks) but not all the trips they took to the Auto shops
For Nigerian roads, You're better off with a Toyota or Honda. No let social pressure stress you to buy benz.

Are you a citizen or resident of Benin Republic (with immigration proof)?

If not, they'll deny your application and refer you to their Nigerian embassies. It's a waste of time and money.

Please what is the cost of Transit Visa for Canada, just to stop over within the airport in less than 48 hours? I couldn't find any information about the cost of the transit visa for canada.

Try the gatwick-kingston (JM) route
Or apply for US visa

Or fly through KLM/Frankfurt to Montego-bay

That Canadian transit visa no be am at all.

Isn't there a direct flight from Belfast. I'd think there are Jamaicans in Belfast too.

What can they do with a 5min into video of yourself?

They could edit it, put text overlay on it, put a different description on it and post it on another website making you as front for another scam.
The possibilities and endless.

I personally think 5min intro video for a job application is ridiculous and pointless.

Think about this, 15 applicant, 5 Mins video each

That's 1hr and 15 mins of videos for the recruitment team to watch which an inperson interview would have taken care of

It's a waste of storage space, a 5 min video in HD can be between 40mb to over 500mb

It takes away time from the recruitment process

It's counter productive, they already have applicants resume which contain most of the same info

The company shows they are unprepared and unserious and lack direction.

Also, it's a big liability for for company. If the image/video shows up somewhere later you can sue (in the US, they'll make you sign documents when your video and/or pictures are involved)
