Mr. Don't forget that the Foreign Embassies are monitoring events in Nigeria
The president of a country determines the approval rating, not the governors

In the USA, Russia, China and Europe, they don't talk about the governors.
Nigeria has a weak, Clueless and corrupt President
They know that Nigerians are running away

Obviously you have not travelled abroad before.

Citizens over there do not bother to even know the President or Prime Minister. Their Governor and MPs are in direct line of fire.

In an attempt to prove smart, you end up with eggs smeared on your face.

Forget all these long stories, the major reasons why they are rejecting Nigerians despite meeting requirements is because the visa fee is none refundable, most especially the US and British embassy Nigeria they are extorting millions of Nigerians they generate those money at the end of the day they will give few people visa.

Let’s say for instance 200 people applied and pay visa fee of about 150 dollars calculate how much they are getting from everyone that applies for visa, 200x150= 30,000x 1,600= 48m and this goes for everyday the embassy is filled with thousands of people coming to apply .. if you have traveled abroad and visit any embassy you will see how empty it is… Nigeria govt need to stop them from extorting us if anybody applies they should make the visa fee refundable.

If they can deny Nigerian Army, who you be

Nebes:
I applied for a US visa from a European country. I can bet money the consular officer stamped denial for me even before I got to his counter. The interview process didn't last up to 2 minutes.

With a Nigerian passport, I assume

I think this is a rare case, I have never traveled from Lagos to Abuja in less than 50 minutes before, it's always 53 to 55 minutes. Even from Lagos to owerri which is closer is not less than 45 minutes in all my travels

Yes. It’s a rare case but nonetheless, pilots want us to enjoy our money in air while we are being swindl.ed.
They don’t want us to feel chèâted paying higher for such short journey.

It takes only 5 minutes to get to Ibadan, from Lagos. A Dana Air pilot that was interviewed after one of its air mishap confirmed this because he did a solo flight to Ibadan on that same plane some time before the air crash of the same plane.

How can we fix the country when we have the likes of hellanus who defends failures and continue to adore failures

[color=indigo] They are paid by the politicians to defend them nah.
They are only instructions, unfortunately.
We still have a long way to go as a country

But that doesn't make sense because the more time you spend up there the more aviation fuel you consume so what's the essence? You are also wasting time that you should have used to go for another trip. I found it difficult to believe that all the airlines and pilots conspired to that intentional delay. I will still do my research on this.

For that uk, don’t just try submit a fake document to them. If you do so, just forget the visa for some years bcs na ban dem go ban u or they reject u and let you keep wasting your money to reapply why they keep rejecting you bcs of your first mistake

We have paid for the fuel 😄.

They don’t want to break the sound/noise barrier. That’s how those planes were designed.
If they speed too much, their noses tend to be hotter. That’s why their speed is regulated. On a good day, a plane could cover a distance of 1,000km in 1hr.

Lagos to Kaduna is around 700+ kilometers.

Of course!!!!

This is the scenario most times.

I hope they “Completely avoid fake documents; they could get you banned. Too many Nigerians have been blacklisted by the UK and other countries because of fake bank statements or employment letters submitted by street agents,” she warned.

I hope they listen.

So sad. They make so much money from those applications but don't regard the applicants.
