Heyya,

I’m back again with another astonishing experience. Who said you cant be in Nigeria and still make your life beautiful. Life is full of experiences and based on your choices in life, you can never go wrong with self enjoyment and dedication. Let me not bore you with ted talk.

It was a journey that was bound to happen in present or near future. Came with a bit of drama that almost mad me feel as if my village people were after me… Village people or my siblings 😂

I planned to make my travel last 2 nonths to Doha for a business/leisure trip. It was easy for me being that i have a valid US visa and canada visa. Which qualifies me to use the ETA platform called Hayya. It took me less than 24hrs for the during of the application - Applying, confirmation, payment and visa grant. They gave me a 30 day valid visa and i booked my ticket for my journey 16th sept. Also i was able to secure my hotel booking after being sure of the date. Which is a hotel in Msheireb In Doha.

VISA APPLICATION
this is one of the easiest visa apllications i have ever done. Ynfortunately for those who dont have any US or Canada visa they cant use a platform known as HAYYA. It does take you more than 10-15mins to complete. Just biodata, active US or canada visa. The process takes less than 24hrs from visa application to approval. It was interesting and i made payment the same day and was granted visa same day.

PREPARATION
Like i always say, i’m not a too much luggage guy. So its always easy for me travelling light. And in the event that i have to buy things for people then i can get a bag and easier for me to bring it back than going with much. In this trip, i wasnt expecting myself to look for guides on what to do or how to do it. I love the surprises. One thing i was eager to see was the airport. It was the top for me and to be frank i wasnt disappointed. Got my ticket for the trip and did some research on the hotel to be in using booking.com. Massive help on that. Book a city view room which was around QR600 for 3nights. Lucky for me, my algie friend who happened to be there a week before me did some sightseeing for me. Got the best views. Places and even suggested another hotel for me Holiday inn. Holiday inn is multinational.

On the day of the trip, i arrived at the airport after work just few mins to counter closing. This is when i realised a turn of event. About to receive my boarding pass when the attendant came back to me to tell me that a letter was mistaken on my Hayya visa application. Couldnt believe my ears and eyes. Tried all i could to reach the hayya customer care which is very disappointing to say the least. Logged in to the app to make edits but couldnt. However, the only positive in this was i could open my ticket while my ETA was to expire the next day. Which means i can as well reapply and get my visa same day. That was exactly what i did and got my visa for another 30days.

DOHA

The journey was a 9hrs flight from Nigeria. Which is a direct daily flight to doha using Qatar Airways. I still feel i enjoyed the qatar airways more than the British Airways in my previous post. I didnt feel much of the stress because i love to select my seat before departure. I’m not that rich o, so i cant afford a free leg seat which costs N88k/N44k 🙂.

I had the best hotel view and i’d like the advice people to check them up if possible. Note: No bad hotel. Paid about QR600 for the first 3 nights i spent. 😍 great room, great view, close to the Metro as well - probably like 5mins walk. Ubers are freaking cheap as well. The name is The Town Hotel

SOUK WAQIF

If you the arabian cultural vibes, cuisine, local products, fancy views. Then you have yourself to blame if you are in doha and havent visited this place. I think it has a good history about 500years or so. They have the availability to oil perfumes, abayas, spices for both food, drink and medicinal i guess 🤔. (NOT KAYAN MATA TYPE OOO). Bought a few fabrics myself.

MUSEUM OF ISLAMIC ARTS

This a tourist wonder, you will have the biew to the doha city center. The historical building has a lot of Arabian artefacts from all over arabian dating back to 7-19th century. Its about 8 floors with so much details and evidence that creativity and culture is what what people should value more. In Nigeria we are really bad at keeping our cultural and ethnic afrtefacts. Regardless of what anyone says, you should not let your tribe, belief slide under the carpet. Family name and ethnicity has a validity, if you allow yourself to loose it then you dont exist.

VILLAGGIO

i’ll advice you check this great place out, its as if you are in different cities/countries but in a single location. The ceiling is a design of the sky, the path are made as a street within a mall.

I wasnt opportuned to check the stadium 974. Which was used during the Qatar world cup 2022. The amazing theming about the stadium is that it was designed using cargo containers (974) of them. Saw it along the old airport road though and looks great with the water and all.

HOLIDAY INN
I later changed hotel to holiday inn based on suggestion from my algie friend. Its a wonderful place with good location and the customer services is brilliant and professional. I spent QR1,115 for the 4nights. But i’d prefer my other hotel because of the view and closeness to the souk waqif.

Overall, Qatar - Doha is a wonderful place for tourism with the visa ban from Dubai. Middle east have a way of taking its visitors by surprise.



THE END

We have the wrong Muslims in our country.

Yll should be afraid on what Thiefbu will be offering to the United States in other for them to not release that thing.

Jobless or still on unemployment benefits?

Blacks are not cursed. Lol . Do you know that a white blonde enjoys more privilege than one who is not blonde?

At least White people gets along to build shit while blacks are busy fighting themselves..

Zxcvbnmghtr:
There are those who are called 'OSU' in Igboland. These people are also Igbos but are discrimated against by not Yorubas nor Fulanis, nor Tiv but Igbos which they are a part of.

Kindly look inwards. Thank you.

You think Western Europeans get along with Eastern Europeans?

I bet you saw where I mentioned that Igbos themselves don’t get along whether it is Osu or not they don’t that’s why south east is a big mess today. You also mentioned that West Europe doesn’t get along with the Eastern Europe at least Western Europe is doing pretty good but we can’t say the same with our Western Africa because blacks are cursed.

Yourbas did the same to Igbos living in Lagos during the election many people even lost their lives, Igbos on the other hands don’t get along with their own people that’s why our south east is a big mess today. Africans don’t get along with each others so guess what black people are bleeped forever.

I heard this is going to affect only Peter Obi and his headless mobs. Una never seen nothing yet. All of you for that zoological country will run mad soon.

Some idiots are supporting him because he is from their region but they totally forgot that this will affect anyone trying to apply for admission in United States especially in Chicago colleges. Very useless set of idiots we have in Nigeria roaming around like headless monkeys.

I have just received message from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Simon! They came to me and demanded that i should call you to order, but i refused” these criminals instead of releasing him they want him to call me to order.
Anyway na the woto woto this weekend go tell una how next week will be.

Mazi Simon Ekpa
Prime Minister

Bloody fool you bunch of devilish fools have finally destroyed our lands. May Chukwu okike kee you and that useless Nnamdi Kanu. He will rot in jail and nothing will happen. Umu ekwensu

By the way the only way to move this stagnant country to the next level is to divide it and let everyone find their way.

Most people are using his death to make more money the more likes and engagement the more money. Nobody gives a fk about anyone.

plaindealer:
What is obi Pandora ipob hiding..??

Dollar is now 1000, Peter obi will kee you and your useless stinky generation.

RepoMan007:
you guys cried from 2015 until 2023 and now have resumed the childish antics of politicizing every news. LP was not the only party available asides APC and PDP.

Waaa waaaa waaaa.Go fk yourself

Igbos will suffer this alone.

BoldBrainz:
Smh.
The mindsets some of you waltz around with are quite pitiable.

You get time for that slowpoke. They will suffer and cough out bloods bunch of nitwits.

Wetin concern Enugu for this matter ? They should stay far away from this shit. Ndi ara Ndi ara

This is why yourbas are unhappy that Simon Ekpa is securing our lands they would love to see this happen in Igbo land but God go punish all of una for that useless zoo. Nigeria is cursed and will never never progress bunch of bastards.

Peter Obi’s fault l,Igbo peoples fault. Thunder go kee all you useless people for that country.

Apart from Music, Nigeria is a total failure to this earth.

This is the zoo country my mother wants to drag me back to, I reject it.

Animalistic country

All the people insulting and laughing at PDP and Obidents remember 2027 is not too far and yll gonna need their votes when that time comes . Until then enjoy your stolen elections.

Enjoy for now it is your time to insult and laugh at your opponents come 2027 when PDP and Obidents team up I want to see the magic you clowns will come up with.

danvon:
I think he needs serious prayers, deep down he is not a bad person but all the sudden fame, hype and deification has really impaired his thinking faculty and brought out the dark nature in him. People have glorified him so much that he starts to believe it, he now genuinely believes he won the election and can no longer accept the contrary, this is actually a sign of negative narcissism but of course he doesn't see it that way.

Again, he needs prayers many of us are not better than him, if we were constantly being praised and worshipped on social media there's no telling what we could do.

Let us all work together to build a better country.

The money PO spent at the useless appeal court alone will feed your entire useless smelling broke cursed generation to come. Bitch

With what I have observed on this forum in the past couple months I have come to a conclusion that Nigeria will never never work as a team or as a country . Now the question is why are you all Yourbas, Igbos and the Hausas wasting your damn time living together? What is the point of all this? How long will this pretense go before una realize that this isn’t working or ever work? Yourbas will grow better if they have there own and the same thing goes with other region.. Splitting on time is the best thing for everyone ..

The more you people drag this division the worst this country gets and believe me you Nigeria like this will never never go past what it is at the moment.

This man is the best Anambra needs him..
