Did mine in London but that'd be closer to me. Can't recollect what options were on the booking portal but if there's a centre in Manchester, it should be listed online.

Okay, thanks

How much does it cost to renew Nigerian passport?

Does the self service mean I don't have to go to embassy?

I know the self service cost £330.

Has anyone used the self service?

I renewed 3yrs ago, i remembered paying £120 express processing + i think £70-80 ( i can't remember the actual amount) but i got my passport the same day

Na Una Dey make fish cost for naija now 😂 well done o, kundus to you 😂

100k ish for a full carton vs £20p for 2-3 dried pieces that look suspect. The UK street value of the carton fit reach to buy ticket.

On return, almost 2 bags are dedicated for certain items as most of my belongings dey enter my oversized hand carry. On one occasion, I remember as one immigration officer kept asking- this one wey all of una dey pack foodstuff, una wan finish food wey dey Nigeria abi food no dey UK?

The one wey tire me was once seeing someone stopped for having yam in their cabin bag.

The key question is: Does missjekyll agree?

Hehe... people carry the matter for head.
To me, there is too much ado about it, but it brings much needed clarity. I can however see why many are particular on the issue.

BTW, it's been a while since missjekyll posted.. hope she's good

Worrying times indeed, Our Prime minister (KeirS), had to rely on the supreme court, to help him identify the true definition of a woman..... 🧑😂🤣

Lol ...his U-turn is welcome, although he probably owes women an apology for boldly claiming that a woman could have a p**** 🙄 - and to Rosie Duffield for hounding her out of the Labour party for standing up for women's rights.
[Meanwhile he's standing steadfastly by Tulip even with all her Bangladeshi corruption allegations and links with her deposed aunt. Must be nice to be a friend of the boss...]

He faced some tough questions at PMQs yesterday on his flip-flopping over the definition of a woman, and he was waffling all over the place lol.

Is it me not understanding tiktok box matches or am I such an old foddy doddi......

Why would I give someone a gift(s), to win a match?

I usually give gifts because I like to or I like what you're doing. I joined one one day and gave some coins, she later called my handle and said they are winning us o, let's not allow them win us. I almost smashed my phone on the floor. Who is us?

Evening Everyone.

Can anyone please recommend a reliable automatic, petrol family car? The budget is about £2500.

Had car challenges over the past months...Stories for another day.

Thank you!

E go hard with this your money oo. If you were looking for manual, then you would be able to get.

Your last point, is exactly my point..... When they expect you to give them money, to win their matches......

NB: Let's not deceive ourselves, coins is belittling the real concept and value of money, more like psychologically mind twisting real value....... 😂🤣

It’s like you’re a prophetess oh

Lol I'm breathing great. Unlike some,I was bracing myself for Trump 2.0 so I'm not shocked at all.

On a serious note, Trump's new border tsar sounds ruthless, Elon and Vivek are going to make sweeping cuts to their civil service, Obamacare might not survive or might get slashed to bare bone, tariffs might end up pushing prices of consumer goods sky high while the rich get even richer, and the country is likely to become even more divided. I'm thankful as always that I don't live in the US.

Lol lol lolies

Treadway:
lol
Zahra, don't worry

We all will be here to witness how he will do well, just like last time. He will tweet a lot, but he will still do the job. He won't go after his political enemies, just as he didn't do so the last time. The ones who weaponised the Justice dept and went after political enemies just got booted out in historic fashion by Americans..200x worse than what the Tories faced in the Youkay🤣🤣🤣. Imagine losing on ALL fronts. That is a damning indictment and a true testament to what failure looks like.

He won't mismanage 1b USD on Oprah and Beyonce like one airhead I know. If Diddy was not in trouble, himself for collect from the largesse. Lol

Last I heard, Cardiff uni is about to close up their nursing course on the current students, like not even into the next year, they’re about to leave current students stranded! I don’t know if the situation has gotten better since I last heard about this.

University cash crisis to get worse despite tuition fee rise, BBC told



Almost three quarters of universities in England will face financial problems next year - despite tuition fees increasing, the BBC has been told.

A report to be published on Friday - seen by the BBC - reveals how financial issues faced by most universities are even worse than previously thought. The Office for Students (OfS) predicts more than a third are likely to have serious cash flow problems.

Speaking exclusively to the BBC, Sir David Behan, the regulator’s chairman, called for radical change, saying course closures and university mergers might be needed for financial stability.

The government is considering the long-term funding and reform of universities.

Tuition fees in England will rise for current and existing students by £285 to £9,535 a year for those on full-time degrees, in autumn 2025.

Even so, new analysis by the OfS, the independent regulator of higher education in England, will show a worsening position for universities, the BBC understands.

The regulator had said it expected 40% of universities to be in financial deficit in 2023-24.

Now the OfS says by 2025-26, 72% could be spending more money than they have coming in and may have to use an overdraft or financial reserves.

In 40% of institutions, cash flow may become so tight there will only be enough money in the bank to cover one month at a time of bills including salaries.


Universities that traditionally required higher entry grades have fared better, because they have simply taken a bigger share by accepting some students with lower results.

This has led to lower recruitment and increased pressure in universities that accept middling grades, and some smaller institutions.

International recruitment has also fallen, with overall visa applications down by about 16% this year, and 20% fewer applications from India alone.

Since January, most international students have been banned from bringing family members to live with them in the UK.

The rule was introduced last year by Rishi Sunak's government, which committed to bringing immigration numbers down.

Apparently Ulster University is offering free accommodation for a year to students. We will see how many universities will still be operating strongly by the end of this year.

This can be attributed directly to immigrants...... 🤣😂😜

I renewed last month using the Self service option you don't need to go to the embassy in London - I believe this option was only available for the 10year passport when it rolled out. You'd provide your fingerprint and photograph via the app.

total cost spent.

$242 for 10 years passport.
$100 for self service.
£20 postal order + C4 special delivery self-addressed envelope for return delivery

passport delivered to my Uk address in a week.
