SalamRushdie:
If you take look at the following

High set up cost

Heavy wear and tear on your engine


3 times more oil change

Loss of engine power

Risk if explosion during accident


If you take all these into consideration CNG is far far far more expensive than Petro
Someone will just wake up and start spreading misinformation. Mtchheew.

I came with almost all the foodstuffs I could get in the market including fried meat. Only my palm oil and vegetable oil were seized at the airport in Lagos. I didn't come with pomo.
Wow, it wasn't checked on arrival?

A bit off topic, but guys I'll be traveling to the UK soon.
Wanna know which food items are banned or contraband over there...

Meat especially I hear is contraband, is Pomo regarded as contraband too?

Guys, a quick question for any that have used Wakanow...

After getting the itinerary from Wakanow, does one have to go physically to the airline in question's local office or just take the itinerary to the airport??

Hello..

Please I noticed you wrote to the email address and after you said you got your mail. Can you please share with me what your issue was in the first place? I did biometrics with my wife since the 1st of Aug and her (dependant) application is still awaiting a decision even though I’ve gotten my (Main Applicant) visa. Can I write to the email as well?
I'm not sure. I only wrote them to get my brp/decision letter which didn't come with my passport.

I used a single email address for my family of 6. I also sent emails asking for our BRP letters in 1 email message.
Just ensure that you write the names, GWF numbers etc.
How long did it take them to send the brp letters, i.e if they have?

At Post office they ask you for your surname and passport. Then they hand the BRP to you .

I have benefitted so much from this thread so I thought to also share my experience smiley.

Got admission offer from University of Dundee on 7 April. I was still hanging around to see if I would get a substantial scholarship from other schools, but did not so I requested for CAS on June 21. They wanted bank statement which I submitted on July 2.

Since then they were so unresponsive, I tried using a school agent to get the CAS but it didn't help because according to him, I had already started the process myself by submitting the bank statement. On July 21, they sent me an email for PreCAS interview, and then sent my CAS on July 26 after I requested a refund of my fees because CAS was taking too long. I already paid 50%.

I only had 5 days left for the validity of my bank statement but I went ahead to apply for my visa on the same July 26.

Biometrics - Aug 3 (V.I)
Transferred to DMC - Aug 3
Paid Mail - Aug 24
Decision Made on Letter - August 22
Collection- September 1

I had booked a flight on Aug 24 on Wakanow for Sep 13, it was Air France. But the customer service assured me transit visa only takes 5 days, so I went to confirm booking. Unfortunately, there was no appointment in Lagos till Sep 15.

So had to go to Abuja for walk-in on Sep 2, Friday. A travel agency on twitter wrote it takes 2-3 working days at the center o.

As at Wednesday, the note on my online application was still showing transferred to the France embassy, I wasn't familiar with the France visa process tracking but I assumed it was already being processed hy the embassy. On Thursday morning , I started getting worried, so I gathered all the emails of the embassy contacts I could find online and emailed by 8am that I needed my visa to travel quickly, I sent this in French sha, thanks to Google translate.

No one responded o, but In less than 1hour I got notifications that my transit visa was being processed and then it was transferred to VFS for collection. VFS sent collection email by 5pm yesterday. Picked up today with stamp on it.

Crazy ride but God was faithful. Avoid any transit routes except you have atleast 2-3 weeks before your travel. See y'all in the Youkay!
Omo.., was the transit visa expensive?

And you had to pay for walk-in again?

Hello, thanks a lot for the response. Though, I want to clarify something, the link you posted seems to be for the BRP itself and not the letter, can I still use it to report non-receipt of BRP letter?
Pls could you give updates on how this went. I also didn't receive the brp mail or letter with the package..

Already added an enquiry to the paid mail and they're yet to get back.
