Hi guys, pls is there any other official way of renewing a drivers license and drivers extract from Nigeria? I have sent two mails to the email address put up earlier by @lagbaja88 but did not get any response. Would have just used the Nigerian Embassy here but they cannot renew a driver's license. |

diordavies is an Elder in this section, he would not give u a blow below the belt Skimanski now spends time on Instagram.. I'm sure the newbies would be asking who be this Skimanski sef ..... I miss the good old days when we had several experts commenting with their expertise opinion on various topics... People like segcymoore would break down Civils, substructures and piling projects... Abdulwastecx would bring his FUTminna knowledge and skills, Brabus would come with contemporary designs, lekki real estate knowledge and biz development skills. I remember spyders first project here just before/after he resigned from coca cola, how muyesky was the go to guy for irons works before michilins came into the picture, how rottech grew to become a builder, And so many others I can't remember but what do we have now, names calling and dragging over recommendations n3xt: 14 Likes 1 Share |

From my over 8 years of frequenting the property section, I can tell u that Skimanski remains the best when it comes to detailed, quality and top notch finishes. Others such as Brabus, Dennis are trying but I don't think they are not upto skimanskis level. My opinion not bibeli 6 Likes |

Get your test done a day before your departure. Make sure u get to the test centre early enough say 9am and your result would be mailed to you say 4pm same day. Ensure u print out 3 copies of the test result. Talking from my experience Pinky: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

This scenario played out with a family friend. The father was a very big and successful biz man, infact was a major supplier of security doors for banks in Nigeria. The man tried so hard to convince his son to leave the UK to take over the biz, the son refused and stayed put. The father died some years ago and now the son is back to take over the biz, guess what, d biz has not been d same ever since.. he missed d opportunity to learn directly under his father and their competitors have seized control of their market share. emmanuelewumi: 8 Likes 1 Share |

Landing gists We arrived at the airport at 9.05am, our flight was scheduled for 1.40pm. We went to the ET check in stand, weighed our luggages. We had excess luggage and the ET staff was very helpful. He advised us to upgrade 2 of our luggages from 23kg to 32kg and we made pymt of 53,000 for the upgrade. They requested for print out copies and photocopy of covid-19 test results, CoPR, passport data page, evidence of full vaccination and arrivecan app code. After this we proceeded to get our boarding pass, na there wahala start... The Nahcol staff issuing the boarding pass said there was an issue with my wife's or baby's visa. He said it was not activated, ghen ghen..... He asked us series of questions and we answered. He said the only solution is to call IRCC and that we have to use our credit to make d call. Na xo we load 4k airtime. He spoke with an IRCC agent, this process took us over 50mins. Time was already 12:45pm. The IRCC agent checked and said there was nothing wrong with the visa and she gave them a code to use to override the error. It took the Nahcol staff another 20mins battling with the system. At this point we became apprehensive, time was already past 1 and we didn't have a boarding pass, boarding had started like 30mins earlier. We had to involve the head of ET who then gave the Nahcol staff instructions on what to do. Eventually they printed a boarding pass for my wife to take her to Ethiopia and that they will send a mail to Ethiopia to prepare her boarding pass from Ethiopia to Toronto. At 1.20pm we started racing down to do immigration, customs etc. We were lucky to have a family frnd who works with faan.. he helped us breeze tru these, and we eventually boarded d plan at 1.40pm as the last passengers. Gosh it was a terrible experience, imagine having to carry a one year baby, with three hand luggages and other stuffs and running all the way to the tarmac. We were sweeting like goats The trip to Addis Ababa was smooth, we disembarked and went straight to join the connection flight to Canada. When we got to the boarding gate, we told them that we were to pick up up boarding pass for my wife, they took her passport and told us to chill, within 10mins her boarding pass was ready and we boarded the plane off to Canada. Canada Events: After we landed, we were ushered into a room where they separated fully vaccinated travels from non vaccinated. Vaccinated travellers get to show evidence of vaccination to the boarder agent and a green sticky paper is affixed on the passport. We proceeded to another agent who requested for our CoPR, Passport and asked some basic questions ( address in Canada, phone no, how much we were coming with) he signed off the CoPR and said welcome to canada . We joined a queue for covid-19 test and within 10mins we were done. We spent a total of 3hours from landing till we got out of the airport. Our hosts were already waiting for us. 71 Likes 1 Share |

Car Talk / Purchasing A Toyota Hiace Bus by seunpinky(m): 9:58pm On May 05, 2021 |
Hi Guys, Please I have been saddled with the task of getting a family friend two toyota hiace bus to serve as a school bus. Asides going with a trusted mechanic, Please what are the major things to look out for? What engines model should I avoid? What years are preferable? I am on the lookout for the long chasis type (18 passenger seats) Most of these buses are from Europe and as such running a vin check on them might not yield so much in information. Kindly see the attached pics of the hiace bus in question. Cc: gazzuzz, nurey, blackbishop, radautos,marpol,kingreign and others. I have a week to deliver this task.
