so gej appointed vp, senate president and speaker? did you go to school at all?

Krucifax:
Much has been made of President Buhari's recent appointments. Some see them as being nepotism, with him giving a majority of the appointments so far to Northerners. In response to this some have defended by saying that under Jonathan the Northerners were also not given a fair shot at key positions. This list below totally debunks that. It shows that whilst Jonathan had many failings nepotism and traibalism was not one. GEJ ran an inclusive government, and we admonish Mr President to do the same. Competence, ability and integrity is not the sole preserve of any one region. You should have a government that reflects the diversity of the great nation of Nigeria.

Na everyday I dey wait for dem to mail me or do something. Nothing. I suppose don dey Helsinki now dey prepare for orientation week/welcome fair which begins tomorrow. I still dey lagos dey battle with nepa and mosquitoes lol.

Is there anyone here still waiting for migri/embassy in abuja to contact them? Please let me know I'm not the only one in this. Now wey I don already plan how to knack my Asian student tutor as I dey enter Helsinki, embassy wan fall my hand.

well it gets boring asking same questions over and over again. you can do better by reading through. most (if not all ) questions have been asked and answered.

better. sorry to hear about all this. i understand how frustrating it is dealing with nigerians. tbh, we got the worst customer service in the world. i hope baba can look into this too... keep trying sha and hoping for the best.
Just the time constraint, but you have a very valid case

sureb0y:
Yes I was. Contacted wakanow, they said they've kept it open for me. Valid for 2 months. So I'm hoping everything is sorted. I've read on forums how cases that need extra attention like mine take a long time to be concluded. The wait isn't easy. Can only hope for the best now, sending emails and phone calls have been futile. They don't acknowledge/reply emails while the lady who answers the calls is a total disgrace.
Siiiiiggggggghhhhhh

were you able to change your ticket?

sureb0y:
Update from me. Embassy has confirmed they've received a letter from Mutual Benefits. It came as an email and also, a hard copy delivered at the embassy. Now I have to wait for the "verification department" to verify whatever it is they want to verify after which they would contact migri with their findings and wait for migri to decide on what to do. They've said they would contact me when all has been done. Until then, I've been told to WAIT. The wait is already depressing, nothing else I can do sha. My morale don low. How stupid of them to say they accept insurance policies from Mutual, have access to Mutual's portal to check and verify stuff yet they've been so ineffective. Since July 2!!! God dey sha.

Apparently she isnt ready for marriage yet.. and she has shown herself not to be a wife material. why tell the dj its her friend's wedding and not hers? OP, tell your guy to postpone the wedding else he will regret marrying this sl uts for the rest of his life

still baffled at your situation bro. never seen such before. everything about the whole ish isnt adding up but i hope something good will be done soon. i still dont get the point of sending documents 2 weeks before the interview because in most cases they do not do anything to it till you visit. i remember during my interview, i was asked if i sent the waec scratch card and they had to open the envelope again to confirm. i think its just a way of the embassy in abuja acting nigerian.. i know the RP can be revoked but i have never seen this kinda situation before. i mean who revokes a permit issued few weeks earlier? well, i suggest you schedule an appointment with the embassy prior your visit there. you may be denied entry if you dont... i wish you a speedy and favorable resolution

sureb0y:
@everyone thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate it. I've been patiently thinking about the best way to go about this, no point reacting to this present situation without a plan.

@iceberg I got a call from a Finn, I recognize the voice, it was the same guy who interviewed me. The same guy who withheld the insurance certificate in the first place.

Here's my understanding of the whole issue:
My application was examined in Finland and approved. I was to wait for 2-3 weeks as usual for the card to get Naija. 2 weeks later, like it's supposed to be, I got an email from the embassy asking me to send my passport and cover letter for my RP card to be returned to me. I stated in the cover letter that they were still holding my original insurance certificate (they asked us to indicate if we had any docs with them, remember? So I had a right to indicate and ask for it. 31k no be beans).
Now, it was at this point they must have remembered the insurance stuff and decided to revoke the RP.

This raises more questions than answers. Why didn't they try to verify the authenticity of the insurance certificate before I even went for the interview in the first place? Isn't that the whole point in sending out documents 2 weeks prior to the interview? They had the time to verify and check during and after my interview. Even before making the RP card. Now they're coming up with this! It makes no sense to me.

They had since forever to tell me about this issue, they didn't. Until after pressuring them. A whole international body couldn't reach me on phone and they saw no reason to contact me through email. Even without being a lawyer or a god, it's clear to see that something isn't right.

God dey sha. I don dey plan my trip to Abuja...
That's the update from me.

well, if he decides to reapply now, for this session, the earliest time he will get will be sometimes next month or october. and i dont think appeal cases will go through the same process so it might be faster, so either way, he has nothing to lose with the appeal...

ooluseyipa:
@sirkezman, can't @ebun reapply. I think he shld reapply shld be d best way. Appeal they take time bro.

sorry to hear about this but yes you should appeal. i think the guideline should be with the rejection email. Appealing doesnt mean you are desperate. It means they made a mistake and you want to prove them wrong.

Ebunolorun:
hi guys, a shocker tho, I got rejected now, based on contradictory source of fund (got money from my cousin which I didn't use as a sponsor)
so what do u guys think?

It was written that I can appeal, but I don't know how that operates and d method of appealing sef, I don't understand.

Also, I was told I can start all over by applying for d residence permit. Op it's not too close and won't they think I am being -vely desperate.

Pls quick responses.
If using know how didn't appealing goes, pls say

Thanks!
Good luck to using us all!

dondaddycares:
just checked, 4 of my cards are visa, hope i can make use of them too or do i need to get a master card? can the ATM over there give up to 1k euro per withdrawal? I think its better to withdraw with card then rather than changing here in Naija

gtb charges 420 per transaction

dondaddycares:
Hi Boss, pls i'm particularly interested in the charges to the master card over there. pls how much will one be surcharged on a withdrawal of 100 euros?

not important.
