The package must contain:
1. Your original Passport or copy of your passport (please check what is required in your Passport Request Letter) ;
2. The Passport Request Letter and documents required in it.
3. VFS Consent Form – signed and duly completed for the authorized courier company (attached).
4. Payment confirmation for Service charges:

For One-way courier:

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, all passports will only be returned using the courier services offered by the Visa Application Centre.

The Visa Application Centre is offering courier services at a discount of 10% on the courier prices listed in the pricing table on this website. This discounted rate will only be available from 27 Jul 2020 until further notice during which time, the 10% discounted price for courier services will be 18.35 GBP (within the UK) and 74.00 GBP (outside the UK).

Package transmission fee (if applicable per applicant) – 16.15 GBP.
The package transmission fee is applicable if you have not provided biometrics for this application at Canada Visa Application Centre, London.
If you have provided biometrics there will be a white sticker attached to the back of your passport.
In the event, that you do not have that evidence that the biometrics were provided at the London centre, you need to pay 16.15 GBP as a package transmission fee (service charge) on top of your courier fee.

Following up by the link you will find information regarding VFS services: VFS services

Also you pay 74.00 GBP for return outside the UK (please note this does not cover Nigeria) just Norway, Denmark and Sweden and need to sign the consent form for Authorised courier company or your Family friend that would pick up.

1stGenAmerican:
You don’t even know what a deductible is, you’ve used it in a wrong context. You’re not worth arguing with.

You know nothing. Na your type dem dey use their head break coconut You think your insurance deductible won't go up after such accident? That's even if any insurance coy would even want to cover you. Lol because you are now a big risk/liability.

You lots think things are just rosy and everything just works seemlessly.

1stGenAmerican:
In America, if you are in a traffic accident an ambulance will arrive to get you within minutes even if you are penniless. You will be taken to a hospital and treated whether you have money or not, they’ll send a bill later if you’re uninsured but you won’t be refused treatment.

Police reports are free and they are dispatched at no cost.

Does this happen in Nigeria?

Hahhhahhahahahah.


I should laugh. Lol . Ambulance pick you for free.

Don't worry when you see your deductible after the accident. You go sabi say no be moimoi and it is not free.

Some Americans have resorted to Uber for emergency services because calling an ambulance can cost you as much $750
For a trip.

What kind of hard disk does it use?

I might have spares to give you.

Hi everyone, my family and I landed Ontario few days ago, we are currently in an airbnb and urgently need a place to rent in Ontario. Anywhere in Ontario that is a bit close to Toronto will be ok.

Hi ,

Did you get and how were you able to sort it out? And costs please

aieromon:
Yes. The law states that faded plates should be replaced.

Whoever is responsible for printing these plates is doing a very poor job. These plates start fading into the second year of use.

Or maybe tell your car wash to stop using detergent to wash plates.

A water rinse is what a number plate needs not the scrubbing with harsh liquids and brush that lots of Nigerians indulge in.

Lots of those plates used acrylic. If you use washing materials with higher pH they definitely would wash out. Cleaning agents used for car soaps aren't acidic or caustic but you see car wash using all manner of soaps to wash.

Used to want to patronise Nigerian clothing and shoes but never again.

90% of Nigerian tailors who sew clothes for men can't even get the ass crack settings on a trousers or even the armpit right. You either get extremely tight clothes you can't even bend in it. Bought multiple $83 to $100 shoe from local makers and till today they were the worst shoes i ever bought. I had pains in my back leg just for wearing them. They are either too clunky , heavy or they don't understand the concept of shoe confort and just think the pad in between soles are just there for decoration. But they know how to put outrageous prices on such bad shoes.

My average Giorgio brutini shoes cost me $60 but i can wear them for 5 years and they perfectly fit and don't cause me sole pains.

Why should i waste money on such purchases? And this isn't a me thing alone . Just talk a walk on the street, ask any male wearing locally made clothes to raise up their hands abruptly and see the upper wear tear from the armpit for most.

Uche1993 and snok58.

Please take this offline.

You have a responsibility to sit this out with families and decide what to do.

Lots of all these online commenters are just here to catch cruise, laugh at you guys and throw words around.

Don't aggravate the issue with bad words. Two adults can communicate without cursing using swear words or calling on God to purnish the other for what they did or did not do. Tempers are high and i understand the pain both parties may feel but best bet to sit this out and reason with a clear head.

Take this offline and find a way to get elders to settle it.

Trust me you would look back at this thread in future and regret everything you said if you don't stop. People would keep goarding you to spill more, talk more and make it nasty. They would pick sides and try to push narratives.
To them, you both are like two rams(fools) fighting in a circus and they are the audience shouting "finish him". Would you want to be such?

Anyone with s21 plus Uk used. Mint atleast 9/10 condition

ThierryJay:
The driver survived. From the pic, you can see that he instinctively protected himself by swerving the vehicle to allow the passenger side take the impact of the collision with the truck, killing madam and 2 daughters in the process.

Driver was reckless and was indirectly responsible for the sad deaths of the family.

Doubt that . Lokely he had seat belts on and most have suffered a lot injuries to his legs. His front was also damaged from the pictures. Yeah the right passenger side suffered more damage but i guess the deaths from the back was largely caused because the occupants at the back weren't strapped in (i.e wearing seat belts).

Likely they were ejected on impact and flunged at crazy speeds against the stationery truck. That's instant death. It would take a miracle to survive such. Even surviving such would lead to almost a life strapped to a bed for decades.


Please guys the seat belts at the back isn't for decoration. Always wear them.

Also Nigerians should stop running like mad people. Use your cruise Control. Limit speeds to less than 100km and max 120km on straight roads where you can see almost 200m ahead.

I cannot wrap my head around why someone would be doing 160km on Nigerian roads. That's suicidal. And lots of cars weave past you at such speeds on a daily basis.

Lots of families complaining about having it hard in terms of housework. Ask them how much they spent on their wedding?

Millions of naira on frivolous wedding and doing eye service.

Money that should have gone into setting up your house to remove all stress. You spent it on a rice and chicken for hundreds of people who don't give a damn about you.

Ordinary washing machine, you guys don't have. It is always ironic that it is the girls always pushing for such expensive wedding without thinking of setting up the house. When you put him debt and he has to struggle to pay such in the first few years of marriage. Don't complain when you are at the receiving end of things.

I have gone ahead to even get an automatic/robotic vacuum cleaner to ease the stress.

As for lots of guys in here stating thrash about house work.

Pay for a weekly house cleaning service(Labout is fucking cheap in Nigeria. I have someone come clean and mop the house completely weekly for 2500 per week), buy the house tools to remove the stress. Help with the kids when you can. Lots of you have never changed a diaper let alone wash the feaces soiled bum bum of your kids. Do things that makes her understand that you are both in these together. Now see you make requests and see if she would turn you down. The kids are crying and you continue playing games or watching that movie or typing away on your phone while angrily ordering them into their mum's room to stop disturbing you. What signal are you trying to tell the mum? That all the stress belongs to the mum. Men you need to change, especially when it comes child caring. That's one of the biggest house work women face. Lots of you do absolutely nothing in the formative years of your kids. It is not only to provide money for upkeep. Knew someone who throughout the first few months of the birth of his baby , he never woke up while the baby was crying at night to even help. Why won't the woman resent you?

CountVersailles:
I ask myself this same question a lot. I've not seen it happen once that commuters, for example, will protest hike in transport fares by trekking and actually showing these danfo buses who's boss.
In America, black people started walking as a form of protest to segregation in buses. Na beg dem beg dem las las to please come back.

You guys just like to heap blames on the average Nigerian. Lots of commuters refuse such hikes in lagos and would rather wait. You definitely don't expect everyone to stick with such refusal. In Lagos for example, the population far outweighs the supply of buses, so you already have an inelastic market and transporters are king. Commuters have little to no leverage because even if 80% decide to trek, the available buses isn't enough to ferry the left over 20%. Heck even such hike in fares happen all over the world especially when there are large events, only challenge is every single day is a large event in Lagos. So you are out of options.

Also we should stop making it seem like Nigerians don't fight back. Let those same countries experience half of what Nigerians go through and see how they respond.

Only scarcity of fuel happened in UK for few weeks. People were hoarding fuel and even fighting at stations. Some even started looting fuel from cars and others were buying at hiked prices.

When the system is rigged against you, you either just flow with it.

For example. Who do your report price gouging to?

How effective are those agencies ?

What processes are in place by gov't to protect consumers against such?

When I see people cheering all these Startup generating Billions from people.... I just shake My Head.

This is the path most of them want to follow... Just that this one was too fast and Dumb .

See all those Agritechs generating billions of naira without Any Physical Farm .

Those agro biz are worse. I don't know how any right thinking person would invest in such.

I can invest in plentywaka. I see their buses. Their rates are responsible. There is a massive gap in the transport biz that needs fulfilling with large buses and smart movement in Lagos.

But you see those agro? Nah, no sense in it at all. I grew up on a cocoa farm. Takes an average of 6 years to get the crops out and here you are promising to pay me 30% in 6 months. How na? Your own cooca na on top Mars e dey grow? Means you would be using another person money to pay me. Which is a Pyramid scheme. If you have cash flow issues, even a bank loan at 22% per year is far better than sourcing money from the public that you have to pay a compound interest of 60% in year which is impossible to fulfill in any climate except maybe you are doing oil bunkering. That alone is a red flag for anyone who knows basic financing. But we have lots of Nigerian investors who are more moved by the prospects of profits and sweet words than the viability of an investment.

agohmamuda:
Transfer. She took the account details to her bank to complain. Her bank told her its not a regular account that is a Flutter wave account. That it/might cost her alot to recover her money. She was advised to send a complain mail to flutter wave that they will respond in 10 working days, its been a month now. Nothing. Positive

Send another email to flutterwave. They refund and do reversal.

Also chat them up on Twitter @flutterwave. They respond.

agohmamuda:
I think she already did, they claimed they will reach her in 10 working days, this is 3 weeks or a month now.

What was the method of payment?

ednut1:
How can his wife be chairman of bod while he is MD. That's illegal and criminal minded.

Exactly... First red flag.

Second they said the company is Registered in the UK. To offer credit to the Public, you need to be registered with the FCA. Not a single FCA number was given.

What they did was just a company registration, something that an average Joe can do from the comfort of their houses.


People need to carry out more due diligence when investing in Businesses. It's your hard earned money, so a little 50k to a financial adviser to scrutinize things won't be too bad.

water2wine:
A couple from the pit of hell. Causing people pain and trauma.

They feign being good Christains, however, they hail from the pit of hell.

Bamise and Ajetunmobi saw money and he became a slave to money. This was borne of a poverty mindset; the business and it's process was solid, but for the greed of amassing properties around the world.

Devil got Bamise big time. His greed made him destroyed his family name and legacy. Posterity will not be kind to him. The wife's quest for fame and cheap popularity also led them to this.

The Ananias and Sapphira of this age. As Bamise and Elizabeth Ajetunmobi have cuase people pain, *unless they restore ALL* - may pain and shame cling unto thier generation, may peace be far away from thier lives, may God scatter all they have gathered and will ever gather, may reproach be thiers and their generations, may thier place be desolate, may they build for another to inhabit, may thier life and labor be in vain, may everlasting destruction visit them and as far as water remains in the ocean may they, their entire family, and generation be cursed in the Mighty name of Jesus! And so shall it be in Jesus Mighty name...Amen Selah!!

Bastards. Sold your birth right for a piece of meal. A business with a great tendency. Bamise Ajetunmobi Elizabeth Ajetunmobi saw money and went mad. Poverty stricken mindset. From grace to grass where they belong.

The business wasn't solid.

A cursory look through their site alone shows that they aren't crunching the data that shows any credibility. They came across as boastful and naive. Any company that is worth its salt would not be boasting of eradicating poverty in Africa, East Europe, south America single handedly by lending to the poor as its mission statement. That's enough bullshit for me to run with my money. Even Lapo and Accion with multiple decades of experience would not even talk about eradicating poverty in Mushin Local government let alone Africa.

Also website looks alot shoddy. They were full of boasting. They are in 350 markets across Africa. Listed Lagos, Ibadan , Jumped to Benin Republic a country before jumping back to Akure or something. Yeah the CEO doesn't verify such info but such are basic things any company worth its salt won't be committing errors at. Lastly, most people that carry religion on their forehead most times are just masking it to move forward in life especially when it comes to money. Once you start calling God or stating your Godliness in a business deal, i am already on the edge.

I hope and pray investors are able to regain their funds back.

Amanstailored:
That error speaks more of your boss's character than of the young mans. Sometimes what might be the criteria or criterion in deciding who stays or who goes might just be a mistake as insignificant as this. While I understand how much you wanted this guy to get the job. I think your boss acted on instinct and gut and sometimes that's what CEO's need when the chips are down. I once texted a friend saying I am greatful and the next thing he said was if you took all the pain to type greatful wouldn't it be the same time it would take to just type the correct form of the word "grateful". Besides greatful has the exact same letters as grateful but one is wrong and the other is right. I guess my point is the young guy will look back at this experience and learn an important lesson. Which is anything worth doing is worth doing right

I totally disagree with this.

I converse a lot with native English speakers in multiple cross functional roles. If i had a dollar for every mistake or typos lots make , i would be a millionaire.

It is only in Nigeria we carry English on top of our head like Ijebu garri. They are interns and mostly fresh out of school or someone learning a new skill in a work environment. The threshold of capabilities for such team members is always set extremely low and showing up and showing a will to learn should be more than enough to grant you a sit.


They just lost a talent because of their irrational thinking. I am so glad for the young man. The OP should please even send me the details of the guy. I would hook him up to something far better than wherever he is coming from.

Hello Nairalanders, I will like the house to judge this matter...

You seem to be in a none structured work environment. If you were, your "boss" wouldn't be reviewing essays of interns.

Also your boss must suck a lot to work with. Good for the interns they didn't have to put up with such an insufferable person.

They are interns. Not English professors. Also why would his personal irritation overshadow logical thinking?


A true test of competency is not graded on just writing essays. Character checks, tenancity, ability to be able to make mistakes and develop are key areas. The weighted average of these with communication skills and appearance is what should form the basis of hiring people.

To not consider other skills and see this as a learning opportunity for the interns is like someone who has a huge ego issue and definitely should not be managing people.

He should pull up his evaluation file from when he was an officer/Analyst and let's see how good he was and never made a mistake. Mtswwwheeewww

Did COVID 19 not make life hard for you here in Nigeria? Yours is even worse because the govt doesn’t care. So why singling out that your friend for onslaught? The begging culture online and offline skyrocketed during the pandemic and it hasn’t reduced since then. Nigerians are suffering!

I wish I could reach that your friend. She needs to stop telling you her predicament because it obviously tickles your clitoris and delivers hard orgasms to you.

I have a friend colleague that resigned too to travel abroad. He calls me to tell me the same things your friend is telling you, but I know he made a good decision leaving Nigeria for Canada. I simply tell him it is a phase and yes it is a phase!! 95% of immigrants go through that phase and it is worst when they have no one to help them settle in. I check up on him because I know how depressing life could be for a new immigrant. Sometimes they just want to rant to someone and get some encouragement. Something I am very sure you are not giving her.

Maybe you are also waiting for your friend to pack her bags and come home. I bet you would create a thread filled with smiling emojis that day. Amooo-su!

Ignore the dolt.

From the talk of 200k salary in Nigeria is better than $5k you know they have no idea what they are saying already. Definitely some kid in one Ajegunle street with a Tecno phone who has never worked one day in their life chatting shit online. Not surprising 200k that is a ridiculous salary seems like a big deal to her.

That her friend is an imaginary YouTube /Online blogger she read about. Ask her to post receipts now and she would disappear.

For her so called imaginary friend to have migrated to the US in the last few years would either mean they went on a tourist visa and overstayed or they are currently a student which means limited work hours and limited pay. Can't remember when the US started giving work visas to just anybody. To get an H1B visa would mean you are technically gifted and in a special role and would definitely be earning big bucks.
