Hello guys,

As there is no thread for Irish Visit/Tourist Visa in nairaland, i have decided to create this thread for the purpose of gathering information about Irish Visit/Tourist Visa. For those who believe that it is extremely difficult to obtain an Irish Visit/Tourist Visa at the Irish Embassy, i can confirm that it is not difficult to obtain an Irish Visit/Tourist Visa provided that you meet the requirements of the relevant rules by the Embassy of Ireland. If you have a good job in Nigeria, i mean well paying job in Nigeria and working full time and you can prove that, off course you can apply for an Irish Visit/Tourist visa to the Embassy of Ireland in Abuja through the VFS.

Dozieson:


I am not a mech. But I have little experience on car maintenance. Search the profiles of autologic, nurey, Gazzuzz, kingreign, kasif for their contact. They will be of immense help to you

Okay thank you

Dozieson:


Chaiii for Camry? The right oil is Toyota WS. You have contaminated the gear. Maybe a flush will help but I doubt. It is cheaper to try than buy new gear.

Never use abro for any car gear. It is a killer

Omg
Plss can I have your number for more explanation Plss
I’m seriously worried �

Dozieson:


That is the issue. That 13pin u250e gear is very sensitive. Dirt or gum particles has entered it. Except you can get a very good gear specialist to open and clean out every contamination. Again, what gear oil did he use to top it?

I normally use Abro gear oil
Plss does it mean my gear has been damaged and need replacement
I’m scared of that because it’s so costly

Dozieson:


Scan your car. The gear for the 4 cylinder is about 300k in Lagos. oil and mechanic that will fix takes it to over 400k.

Did you do any mechanic work recently? Did you drive inside water?

Yes i did mechanic work
The gear oil was licking the mechanic said he need to remove the sump and use gum to gum it
That was day before yesterday
He leave it for about 8hrs before he loose the sump
The car drives well after that
But started malfunctioning yesterday morning after driving it for about 30min to a location

Plss I need urgent help Plss kindly reply me Plss
My car just didn’t select gear yesterday it only select to reverse the d d2 d3 d4 and L won’t function anymore it won’t select to d it selects to d when it’s not hot again and after few seconds of that it won’t move at all the mechanics said I’ll have to buy another gear it wasn’t like that before I haven’t experienced that in the car before I use reverse to move to the mechanic shop which causes a lot of traffic
I gauge the oil it’s fine it’s a muscle Camry 2007 model I’m scared of buying another gear because I can’t afford it is there any solution and what could have cause that it’s only the reverse that’s working Plss reply

Solofresh2:
There is course mate of mine. We were close friends in school. So there is this day she followed me to my home (because I don't live in the hostel, I rented an apartment outside), I was so hungry so she decided to cook for me. After we finished eating, one thing led to the other and we had sex. This girl is in her early twenties just like me.

Since that day, she never lets me rest. We have been having sex and she told me she has a boyfriend. She comes to my house and we always end up having sex all the time. I have told her enough is enough but she keeps coming. I use protection though.

I blamed myself for letting her know my place
How can I discard this girl totally because as long as she comes, I will keep sleeping with her.

DaddyFabooluz:
My aunt has this 2006 Toyota Corolla she wants to sell.
It's not up to a year the car was bought direct belgium with all papers intact.

The car has not issue at all. Ac chilling well, cd player working, automatic with no issue, engine still on point. Just pay and carry go. Clean exterior and interior because she didn't use it much and was driving it like egg to learn.

The reason for sale is simply because her husband bought her a bigger car and she doesn't need two cars.

She contacted me to help her find buyer and said someone is offering 2.2m but she refused. Please I need the car gurus in the house to help with approximately how much I could sell it for as it's registered but still very neat without fault.

Nah I don’t believe someone can offer 2.2m for that
I’m into cars
If I should buy that car I’ll be it 1.6 to 1.8 depending of the year used and specifications and also how it looks likes used car is a used car even if it’s used for 1month it’s nigeria used

shagamite:

I haven't fix it yet, still wanna open nd clean it if it persist i go give repairer. How much it cost you abeg

I gave him 10k as we agreed in the first place but I knw it doesn’t worth it
I just had to let go off it I can’t let them hold the tv for long it’s light anything might happen to it again I had to let go the money those engineers will bill you base on the size of tv which I think it’s not normal lol �
This is Nigeria

shagamite:

This is exactly what my TV developed, it flickers. what could be wrong

Nobody is giving us an answer to that here
Did you fix ur tv?
I took mine to an engineer
They fix it but it’s not as good as before small part of it brings out another color it looks assive magnet is close to it
And another thing is it blinks but it shows clearly but not like before
The engineer said I was even lucky that sometimes if things like this happen they don’t get to correct it or it will still bring that horizontal line or vertical
So I left it alone
I’m only looking for a way to swap now

daddy001:
when did you buy it

2020 sir

GRACEGLORY:
Vertical Line in Center of the Screen

Vertical lines have three regular causes.

In the first place, there may be a weak input signal because of a loose wire or a bad channel. In a case that all wires are tight and the line shows up on all channels, a portion of the TV's pixels may have given up, that is, died. This is the situation when there is a strong dark line with no gleaming light, and pixel issues can't be repaired. Something else, the circuits and wires inside the TV might be loose. The most common sign this is the issue is that the vertical line changes when the TV is moved or when the TV warms up or cools off.



Horizontal Line on Screen

Horizontal lines have close causes to vertical lines. In a case where the line where the line fluctuates, or moves up and down, the issue is likely to be the input quality, and that could be settled by adjusting the wire that links the cable box, or any other source of input. On the off chance that it is static or flashing, there is likely a physical issue with the TV itself.


And then, you will have to consult a technician.

I don’t knw if I need to consult a technician but I need to know the cause it’s surprising watching the tv then suddenly it started blinking Plss sir is there any solution to it it’s a 55inches UKA TV bought from jumia

niyogeol:
Hello Babaisha,

I believe I am in a stead to offer some perspective on your post.

Republic of Ireland — in Irish (Eire) is a peaceful place and a vibrant economy built around services, tourism, manufacturing and agricultural sectors. Also it is a relatively small country with some 5 million inhabitants.

Back to your query, immigration rules in Ireland aren’t much different from what you find in many European countries. That is: come in via short stay visa (study, visit, work permit, or through Bel**** etc} and try to gain permanent resident status via employer sponsorship transition, marriage or asylum after which one can have a shot at citizenship.

Wanting your wife to move to Ireland as a student is a great idea. Irish education is sound and globally recognised. But the unfortunate thing is that only PhD students are allowed to bring their spouse, common law partner and dependents to Ireland while studying. Unlike the UK that allows MSc and PhD students to do same. Given this peculiarity vis-à-vis your wife’s educational background, I doubt she will qualify to move to Ireland with your kids on a student visa if she is not studying for a PhD.

If you are really desirous of moving to Ireland, perhaps you might want to encourage your wife to do a nursing diploma (RN) or degree and practice for a few years in some other country and then apply for job with the HSE (Health Service Executive - Ireland’s equivalent of UK’s NHS. This approach would allow her get work permit that permits the holder to come with spouse and dependents.

Also to collaborate what some earlier posters have said, cost of living in Ireland is pretty high. You should brace up to cough some real cash for a family of 6 if you insist on travelling this road.

I hope this helps. Cheers.

Yes you got it all

Mekas2016:
I live in Ireland, precisely dublin...it is a very good country.

Your wife can try the school option for now, really wish you guys were here earlier because there is an amnesty scheme going on at the moment here to regularise immigrants and allow them work permit and pathway to becoming citizens thereafter.

I have few relatives in Dublin they said the same thing which is the school option but it’s too expensive sir and they said I should try the scholarship things which is very rare to be given scholarships by those schools especially if u don’t have a strong grade in your institution for example it’s very hard to do masters in abroad when you’re a polytechnic graduate they don’t accept HND TO MASTERS

FCID stands for Force Criminal Investigation Department.

This same thing happened to me few weeks ago
They came for someone else in my compound the guy ran away they came into my apartment they said they heard info that the guy his a cultists and a ritualist they search all my apartment they didn’t find anything but because I’m using iPhone they took me away that night around 9pm with guns I have never experienced it in my life I was shocked because I on my generator they off my generator that night for them to do their nonsense operation they arrested me I slept overnight for the first time in my life for station without knowing my offense by FIB SQUAD the aop or Wetin them Dey call ham police in charge of me was handling my phone assive it’s his phone he red all my conversations including the private ones with my wife
My phone was with him throughout the night till the second morning he even threatened to kill me if I don’t find him 1.5million he said he will kill me and dump me and nobody will know that he normally kill for a living I was shocked �
Without seeing anything implicating they saw it that I’m into buying and selling of cars I hustle around the street to look for used vehicle and find customers for it in short the collected all the money in my account
If you don’t have strong leg in this country person go just suffer there’s nothing like law anywhere in Nigeria police always believe they’re GOD

Brandonx:


From your writeup I can deduce you are arrogant and that's what get you kids in police problem.

When a police man controls you he expects your full cooperation, but when you try to tell him you know your rights and ridicule him, he'll then show you in Nigeria he is the law.

It’s not your fault

Brandonx:
If you were decently dressed no police man can intimidate you. You were profiled based on your appearance and you couldn’t prove beyond reasonable doubt what you do for a living.

I've realised that most of those coming to my mention are kids .

Don't come to my mention to disgrace your parents if you are well dressed and able to to defend your source of income No policeman can intimidate you.

I'm a Nigerian and I've had one or two encounters with the NPF. One occasion they asked me to step out of the vehicle, I willingly did, they requested for my phone , I gave it to them, collected my wallet went through my IDs I was looking at them, and they finally gave me my property back and asked i find them something, we all laughted and I told them next time.

A policeman can only harass you when you are arrogant.

You’re talking in the rubbish
It’s not your fault it’s because you’ve never jam those police squad that are crazy
Those that will arrest u because u use car or because u use iPhone
Moreover why did police have to stop you and ask for your phone what are u saying?
Are you telling me stoping you and asking for your phone is normal?
I guess you’re a police officer they came into my apartment few days ago to arrest one of my neighbors they checked his apartment but couldn’t find him they came to my apartment and was asking for my neighbor they don’t even know him
My wife and kid isn’t around they searched all my house, without seeing anything they forced my phone from me they took me away I can’t contact anyone or my lawyer they switched my phone off and everything and was demanding for 1.5m from me because I have binance app on my phone
They checked all my phone including my private conversations with my wife and family he listen to
All my voice noise i haven’t withness this before in my life I told them I’m into buying and selling of cars they checked my phone and see proof of it
I can’t forget that day the policeman telling my sister that night that he will kill me and dump me and nobody will know all because of money
Threatening me with death I was shocked �
I weap for this country

joyandfaith:


Who told you the video was made?
It was a cctv footage.
Baba ijesa was a fool for abusing minor

Maybe you should go and listen to what princess said if u don’t knw she said she set up camera for Baba ijebu

My girlfriend hack mine 5days ago and I’m leaving her for good because she almost killed me and herself meanwhile what she saw wasn’t right so Plss don’t hack it’s not a sign of love

Yes Na true I heard the explosion because I was close to the hotel when it happened
Omo e loud gan oo I don’t know gas explosion fit sound like that

BRATISLAVA:


Exactly what I'm trying to say. When a persons love is forceful and oppressive, leave the relationship because you are a hostage, not a lover anymore.

Beware of jealous people. Even if you anger them, they will still force their way back rather than let you go. If you know a way to leave them and never see them again, do it. They don't care about your emotions or feelings while they are with you. They are just validating themselves whilst manipulating you. Get new associates who will wean you off that person.

hmm Plss how can we talk?I need you to enlighten me like I said this is what I’m going through and it’s what I have been enduring for 7yrs it has got to a point I can’t hold it

design106:


If your relationship get wahala, visit a counsellor or Phsychologist.
them go profer solutions tailored to you.

No dey follow wetin everybody dey post online. You'll be more fvcked up than you initially were.

pls where’s your counselor?

BRATISLAVA:

Not true. There is the need for exclusivity, but all that jealousy is a sign of a dangerous relationship. Run away from anyone who is jealous/possessive of you in a relationship. Most killers/abusers exhibit those traits. Later they shed tears and say it's the devil that made them do it.

jesus omo this is what I’m going through now it’s really frustrating pple do say it’s because the love is too much that’s why the jealousy is there so pple do say it’s normal I don’t think it’s normal because it can cause depression which I’m going through now

SenatePresdo:
