Hehehe. Same German Embassy, same trip, the security were the ones who set me up with the printer.

For keeping my bag, they wanted 5k.

I was so angry cos I had missed flight, had to pay extra for hotel, we had an exchange of words. Eventually didn't pay for the bag.

Salowise:
Normally many Nigerians are criminals, i went to embassy a certain time with my bag, removed my documents and gave it to one lady to keep for me, after the interview i gave her 500 as appreciation, she was actually selling snacks in rubber around there, she refused taking the money that i should pay her 2k on top empty bag, thought she was joking until she started talking to herself and explained to someone, i had to give her the money. I felt robbed in broad daylight.

I said this year and early next year before the election, things will be manipulated so that things will be cheaper, all in an effort to win the election, after they win the election, your suffering will continue. If you have money, invest am before the elections, after they win, things will go back to being hard
Someone is not happy that food prices are about to crash further. Were you not the ones complaining of high food prices?
You are not happy you won’t be able to use high food prices as campaign material

Unfortunately this wouldn't still reduce prices of anything in the market.

Nigerians are mostly ridiculously greedy. angry

Had to do emergency printing close to an Embassy and I was shocked when the lady said for 4 pages....

I would pay 100k! shocked shocked shocked

I had it in mind to tip her 20k before, but I refused to collect the paper from her and returned to my hotel, missing my flight .

I would rather pay for rescheduling and an extra night than pay her 25k per page.

Funny enough at the hotel, I asked the receptionists how much it would cost , they said it they don't print for a fee - it could be done as a favour. I ended up gifting them 15k - WILLINGLY. Not out of desperation.

Epilogue - she called to ab*se me. I got the visa.
The way you people are calling money ehnmm... u sure say the same country we dey? I have lived almost everywhere and I've imagine a place in Nigeria that someone will charge 25k per photocopy... for this sake country? Omooooo, e bi like say na for parallel Nigeria me I dey. 2.5k per copy would have been something possible, but 25khuh? Omooooo

Which Embassy is that in Nigeria that there are no photocopiers around and the trip to civilization from the Embassy will take forever. Most Embassies in abj are around UN house, Central Business Area, there'sa photocopier there and church gate is not far from there where photocopy is around 200., and the ones in Lagos are not far from civilization, even the US consulate they plan in Eko Antantic will not be that far when they complete. So which Embassy did u go that the staff will charge you that outrageous amount knowing photocopiers are not that far?

Something's not adding up.

Germany Embassy in Lagos there's a container there where printers are. .

My first schengen visa application before I got my Diplomatic Passport .

My 2nd application was at the Embassy in Abuja being a diplomat. 95% of other people who aren't diplomat or service men HAVE to go to Lagos.

Pray you don't fall in their hands when they see you're desperate and out of time... You wouldnt type the none ..
.




Sense you did there.

Wow, wow just wow. I'm completely speechless. Some Nigerians are not human and are worse than demons. I bet that the moronic woman would still tithe in church.

I swear.

Horrible thing, we both speak same language, she was backing a baby.

When I refused to be exploited, she still called me back to invoke curses on her own futuregenerations.

If she had succeeded, she would have thanked "God"

The person that charged you that is super evil. That 100k could buy a printer with preloaded ink to print many rims of paper.

Brendaniel:
The question is: what is your current president teaching Nigerians as their leader?

I'm not here to justify anybody's greed, but what is Tinubu showing as good example to Nigerians as their leader?

Do you and Tinubu think leadership is all about holding a title and gallivanting up and down?

What good example is he showing the governors, the institutions, the children going to school and Nigerians in general?

And can you tell me the changes Tinubu has made?
Depends on your perspective... So what change your LGA and Governor has Made?? They are the leader that gets the larger resources and can affects you immediately...

Can my governor or LGA chairman reduce the price of dollar?, can my governor or LGA chairman reduce inflation?

Does my governor alone receive more more money than the federal government that is headed by Tinubu?

You people always trying to flip logic over its head...

Who is more important in a governor and president?

So i should leave the more important one and focus on the less important?

Why didn't you people focus on governors during GEJ's time?

Every blame was heaped on him, now Tinubu is president, it is now very convenient to divert blames to governors and leave the president because he is your tribesman...

You guys are the major reason I gave up on the unity of Nigeria, I never thought in my life I will see you people from this perspective...

I always though you people wanted the good of the country but it was all about tribal dominance, the more you are doing this, the more you are justifying my perspective...

i keep asking, what exactly did Tinubu become president for? And what exactly did you people support Tinubu to become president for and what are you people still supporting him for?

After i check everything, the only answer that pops up strong is tribal, religious and/or political dominance...

You people always trying to flip logic over its head... They were talking about how wickedness at Embassy and related to society greediness and you said its TInubu fault...
So why did price of dollar rised?? Floated and your agulu Obi also promised to float the foreign exchange and remove subsidy on fuel...
Anyway nothing will make you people see better side of the present day govt and continue wailing till 2031...
Every region have Aviation schools now which will only have 1 in Zaria for decades.. Lg autonomy working in some States now, Poor Students getting loan presently in Nigeria, Uncountable infrastructure going on across every zone, Stock market is back to track... Even Paypal back in Naija, All State and LGA are financially bouyants now... Etc
So you can take your phone and search for BAT achievements

Pacesetter123:
But the FG didn't wait for the senators and governors in those areas to move any motion or something before it opens the borders there.
So,why should it take our governors and senators to draw the attention of the FG to it before they do it here for us too?
Anyway, your message is well understood my dear sister.Since the FG has done it there in the north,our senators and governors should use that as a yardstick to demand for the same thing to be done here too.
You are correct.
I'm aware that a lot goes on behind closed doors in politics. Those who lobby privately may not tell us. They're focused on achieving their goals quietly to avoid raising eyebrows or contentious situations. Let the SE and SS demand for the same thing.

Remember that some borders in the SW were closed for a while under Buhari. They were later opened.
