Shouldn't be an issue. However I don't know what the experience for the return trip will look like.

That is quick.

Pls which state or passport office did you do your passport for 7 days?
Festac. However, I used an agent. Just make sure to use a trustworthy agent with good track record.

Don't ask me for the agent contact. Just ask people around you that you trust wink

Need some advice

I have applied and paid for the renewal in London and will attend data capture on the 11th next month.

However I need to travel on the 15th and will have to go with my expired passport, if the new one does not come on time?


Will I have issues coming back with a British passport if I show proof that I have applied and paid for a renewal in London?
Since you've started the renewal process and have evidence to prove it, you should be fine. They should stamp your expired Nigerian Passport. However you may meet a difficult officer who just want to be difficult. So be ready to part with a fine if they insist.

Going forward, I advice everyone with expired passport who intend travelling to Nigeria to do the renewal in Nigeria as it is faster and cheaper. It took me 3 days to get my passport done in Nigeria and the total amount I paid was 70k (approximately $44). This is way less than the amount I'd paid if I were to do the renewal in yankee.
Education › Re: FG To Enforce 18-Year Age Limit For WAEC, NECO Exams by Obinoscopy(m): 1:24pm On Aug 26, 2024
This is stupidity at the highest level. I took WAEC (GCE) when I was 14 in SS2 and passed. I took JAMB and WASSCE when I was 15 in SS3 and passed. This is unnecessary. They should rather focus on how to provide quality education. Let the parents and the teachers decide if a child should write either WAEC or JAMB.

Mjolnir:
so what of travelling out with soon to expire passport for a nigerian, say your passport is to expire in august, and you want to do a quick internal travel in july to return same july...would you have any issues with the airline or nigerian immigration?.

i have paid for renewal online, but not willing to bribe anybody, so will follow due process which may take months
You are traveling out of Nigeria to a foreign country and back? I don't think you can do that. The airline and the foreign country you are traveling to will not allow it.

How?

I'd like to learn
The reasoning behind it is to realize that the question is not about just one birthday being duplicated but any birthday so there are actually 23C2 ways to get a birthday match. And 23C2 is a pretty large number relative to the total possible combinations.

You can see the exact calculation on ChatGPT. I can still explain further if you feel ChatGPT is not explanatory enough.

The sample size is too big to have such a coincidence.
Makes sense. However you are wrong. The answer doesn't make sense logically but can be proven mathematically. The question is called the Birthday Paradox and the answer is A (over 50% chance).

I will still choose Close to Zero.
Ok, and what is the reasoning behind your answer? No calculations need to be showed.
