This is a sign that Obi may soon leave, his loyalists are leaving.

You are right. You have very good foresight.

There were no passport control officers in Frankfurt, he just proceeded to his gate immediately he landed in Frankfurt. No security checks at all. I think its due to two reasons:

1. He is flying from a non-schengen area (USA) to a non-schengen area (NGR).

2. He flew from a country (USA) where they trust their security checks so no need to do any security checks again

So there was no incidence in Frankfurt. He presented his expired passport and boardinc pass to the airline attendant and they allowed him board...no issues.

I'll let you know what happens when he lands naija. I'm almost 100% sure there will be an incidence in Lagos with the immigration guys...lol. But he will trash it out, na correct naija guy im be.

So just like I predicted, there was a little drama at the Nigerian airport. Just a little drama that my guy was able to wiggle out of.

So when he got to the Lagos International Airport, he brought out his expired Nigerian Passport and his Emergency Travel Document which he got from the Nigerian Embassy in the US. He made sure to properly fold the Emergency docuemnt so it's not visible to the Passprt control guys. His plan was to just present the passport to the immigration guys and if they question the expiration date then he will reveal the Emergency document.

However for some reason, an immigration officer spoted the folded paper was able to decipher its content! He approached my guy, and made it seem as if he was trying to help beyond his statutory duty. He took my guys passport and his emergency document. He also asked some questions which he documented avidly. He then personally made sure to give the documents to a passport officer to adjudicate. After it was stamped, he asked my guy to find something for him. My guy politely told him no.

So this is the conclusion on my guy's trip. Lufthansa has no issues with expired passport as long you have another valid ID in addition to the passport. Just make sure to get your Emergency Travel Certificate done so you can take along with you to the Nigerian immigration guys.

Update:

I know someone who just boarded a lufthansa flight enroute to Lagos. He presented both his expired Nigerian Passport and valid USA Passport to the airline at the checkin counter. Both passports were scanned and boarding pass given to the guy with no questions asked. The flight will be transiting in Frankfurt. I'll give you more update as they come regarding his flight.

APC should take care of this guy

They will....albeit temporarily. Now I know why he made the decision to support APC.

Phewwwwww

Sharp guy, if he's transferred to finish his time in Nigeria then legally he wasn't deported from America and can easily get another visa to America

You think he can easily get another visa?

I think he wants a prison where his chances of being released is much higher. Also american prisons has lots of gangs/cults in it. He is not fully suited for it as a foreigner.

The rise and fall of Chelsea. Chelsea is going down.

pls don't waste your money. They won't board you. I had a bitter experience with Qatar Air from USA.

You can try your luck with any airline that flies direct. No stop over anywhere to Nigeria. Before you buy ask the first.

A bike said that then, and it have elapsed January after it was said. Airlines are no longer mandated by Nigerian government to lift those with expired passports.

Another thing you can use is ETC. You can get emergency travel certificate from Nigerian embassy in the country you are.

Were you an American citizen or a Permanent Resident when this happened?

I've heard Delta Airline, KLM Airline accept Nigerians with expired Nigerian Passport. However, I don't know about Lufthansa, British Airway etc

sholatech:
Abike Dabiri has several times announced that FG of Nigeria approved all Nigerians be allowed to fly into the country with expired travel international passports. All airlines should have that advisory notice since

Yeah she has. However she did say it's subject to the airlines to accept or reject. So I just want to know people's personal experiences which each airline.

Hi Guys,

Getting an expired Nigerian passport renewed is a hassle especially in Nigerian Embassies in foreign countries. This has left too many Nigerians in Diaspora with expired Nigerian Passport.

I'm aware of an an existing law that prohibits the prevention of a Nigerian citizen from entry simply because he/she has an expired Passport. Once the airline drops you in Nigeria, nobody, i repeat, no nobody can send you back as long as you are a Nigerian. Infact I know a lot of Nigerians with dual citizenship who has traveled to Nigeria and back with their valid Foreign Passport and an expired Nigerian Passport.

However I'm told that certain airlines might have their own policy regarding the use of expired passport. This thread is for people who have traveled with expired Nigerian Passport to share their experience.

Please tell us the airline you used and the country you flew in from. Tell us which airport you used and the difficulties or ease you experienced throughout the flight.

This information might be invaluable to people who intend traveling back to Nigeria during this yuletide season.

Both terminal one and two are in the same place just different entrance and different runway

What's the best way to move from MM1 to MM2? If someone is landing at MM1 via Lufthansa and has a domestic flight with airpeace to Enugu, how best should he connect the international terminal with the domestic terminal?

If I'm Labour Party, I won't appeal this judgement. Just give a press statement stating that you will not be surprised with the judgement and thus will not appeal it.

Everyone will know what that statement implies.

I'll try to be respectful to the Iraqi laws. However the least abusive sentence I can use is that the rule of saving someone who wants to kill herself and then killing the same person yourself is sheer stupidity in the highest level.

None. He is my role model. He made so much sacrifice for me and my siblings. He is smart, intelligent and very sociable. He commands respect wherever he goes. I think his huge size and body build also play a very big role in the fear/respect he instill on people around him. However he is not a troublemaker. He would never hurt a fly unless if the fly intends hurting his family. He is a family man. I don't know if I can really be like him but I'll always try.

Hi, I am interested

Send me a DM if interested. You may include your whatsapp number in the DM.

Hi guys, I set up a Book Club centered around GRE preparation. Anyone interested to join should send me a DM.

If you are a physics teacher or language teacher, the UK is offering to pay you £10,000 if you decide to relocate to the UK to teach. That money is to assist with visa and travel expenses as well as other miscellaneous expenses. Below is the link on how to apply:

The international relocation payment (IRP) is a single payment of £10,000 which will be available to eligible non-UK trainees and teachers of languages and physics.

The payment is designed to cover:

1. the costs of visas
2. the immigration health surcharge
3. other relocation expenses

The IRP will offer financial support to teachers and trainees from all over the world who wish to come to train and work in English schools. It will be paid around the end of the teacher’s or trainee’s first term. It will not need to be repaid.

If eligible, trainee teachers can receive both the IRP and a bursary or scholarship.

We are running the international relocation payment as a pilot in the 2023 to 2024 academic year.

The scheme will open to applications in autumn 2023.

Eligibility
To be eligible, teachers or trainees must:

1. be coming to England to work or train in the 2023 to 2024 academic year

Good idea. However you didn't factor in corruption.

I'm 100% sure the Nigerian Judiciary can get Tinubu records if they request for it albeit privately. The Judiciary, especially the Supreme Court, has its integrity to protect. If they dismiss this drug case and FBI eventually releases an incriminating report, that will taint the reputation of the Supreme Court.

This man seem to have forgotten he is a LABOUR PARTY governor!

Workers ie Labour force, should not be made to pay the price for the previous government.

Honestly, this is the kind of politician we need in this country. It is my hope that our young budding politicians take Peter Obi as their role model.

Good development. However govt should go further to ensure that the value of the 200k does not depreciate. They can do this by reducing unnecessary expenses within govt for example the jumbo pay of political office holder should be cut. Also emphasis has to be placed on production so that prices of food commodities and other items are brought down. And also emphasis of production will increase the value of the naira against the dollar.

More rebel s are coming for u

A Russian Spy spotted. I'm sure CIA will do the needful.

Drug case is no longer a serious case in Nigeria.

Lets face it, all these is happening because Ukraine is giving Russia hard time.

I think Putin is losing his authoritarian grip. And thats all it takes to take down a dictatorial leader, a little dip in control. The Russian rebel that will emerge might not be Prigozhin but Prigozhin has cracked open the rebellion door for others to take cue from. Putin will definitely not be sleeping with his two eyes closed. The western world should just grab some popcorn and watch and should not interfere on the impending Putin implosion. My opinion.

● Lukashenko says Wagner boss Prigozhin no longer in Belarus
● Terms of Wagner relocation to Belarus unresolved
● Uncertainty surrounds deal that ended armed mutiny in Russia

MINSK, July 6 (Reuters) - The mutinous head of Russia's Wagner group is no longer in Belarus and it is not clear if his fighters will move there, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday, raising questions about the deal that ended last month's revolt.

Lukashenko said on June 27 that Yevgeny Prigozhin had arrived in Belarus as part of the deal that defused the crisis, which had seen the Wagner fighters briefly capture the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and then march towards Moscow.

But Lukashenko, who brokered the deal, said on Thursday that Prigozhin was now in St Petersburg, Russia's second city, or may have moved on to Moscow.

"He is not on the territory of Belarus," Lukashenko told a press conference in Minsk.

Lukashenko also said the question of Wagner units relocating to Belarus had not been resolved, and would depend on decisions by Russia and by Wagner.

"Whether they will be in Belarus or not, in what quantity, we will figure it out in the near future," he said.

His comments highlighted the huge uncertainties surrounding the terms and implementation of the deal that ended the mutiny, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has said could have plunged the country into civil war.

Prigozhin's men have spearheaded much of the fighting in Ukraine but he has also accused Russia's top brass of corruption and incompetence. Prigozhin cast the June 24 "march of justice" on Moscow as a protest against the military leadership.

If Prigozhin is able to return to Russia with impunity, it would raise new questions about Putin's authority in the wake of the brief mutiny that marked the gravest challenge to his 23 years in power.

I'll provide the answer here.

The answer is 11:55am.

This is because we only count clockwise when it comes to time. So for example, when we say 20 minutes to 10, it means 20 minutes before 10 and not 20 minutes after 10.

What is the closest time to midnight?

A. 11:55 am
B. 12:06 am
C. 11:50 am
D. 12:03 am

Seems easy but it's not. The answer is not what you might think it is.
