Preppie:
Please, did you apply in Lagos or Abuja? And was it at the embassy or VFS application centre? Thanks.

I applied at abuja and it is directly at the embassy.

I submitted my application for study permit to south african embassy for the past one month two weeks and they still tell me is still being processed. I dont know if anything could br worng. I got the medical insurance from their country, paid the repatriation fee as well.I am meant to travel by december. I have been to south africa before and I did not break any immigration rule so I returned to nigeria when I was due to return. I am worried over the time this have taken. My whole documents are authentic and I even paid 10percent of the tuition fee. I dont know if I have done anything wrong here?

People have to be very careful the way they speak against the men of God. I dont go to synagogue church but I dont judge him as well. We are not meant to judge but if every pastor you accused to have got powers from satan should do what he is doing then it is worth it. Our country would have been better. So all this critics in nairaland should mind themselves.

I submitted my application to the embassy a month ago for study permit after the stress of their medical insurance. I was told to check after three weeks of submission. I did as they said. After three weeks they said it was not yet ready. After a month I went to check again they said it was not ready again and they gave me a number they never picked. They have siezed my international passport for more than one month for the sake of study permit. Friends pls advice me, should I withdarw my international passport or should I continue to wait for them. A friend told me it would have been better to do a visitors permit and process my study permit from south africa. I dont know if that is a better idea.

My daily target is 200 and I have made calls for 600 today still no bonus. I am thinking of not making calls with mtn. They are fools. Wicked network.

I used nokia and androids all my life before going to  and I have used many brand of . The only thing  offers is unlimited internet download which makes it cheap ƒσя internet. Android phones A̶̲̥̅̊я̲̣̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ very G̲̣̣̣̥o̲̣̥O̲̣̣̥ƌ̲̣̣̣̥ in all but very expensive to maintain. Nokia is less in maintenace than androids. Apart from pinging which is P to P data sharing there is no other fantastic thing on BB

@oyibomoses: they require medical certificate, medical certificate,medical insurance, proof of sponsorship,proof of accomodation.

People should be very careful the way to speak about the men of God. I A̶̲̥̅♏ an anglican but still I don't condmen TB joshua. I have watched and followed his programs and if all the churches will emulate him I think the world would have been a better place. Pls be warned. Touch not my annointed and do my prophet no harm.

Dear nairalanders,

I got admission to study in south africa but the requirment I am seeing from the embassy of the study permit I dont know if it will possible to just obtain a visitors visa and then travel to process the study permit. Please ur advice will be highly appreciated.

May God give him freedom.

They refused to pay my 1500. Just made a promise to refund that. They ard thieves.

who says light goes off in south africa is insane. I dont think you will say that if you have visited SA for just one month. The entance gates in houses in south africa are controlled by electricity which means the country is doomed without electricity.  They are so dependent on it that it can not go off for just 5mins. I stayed a minimum of four years in yoville in joharnesburg and have wintnessed an uniterupted power supply. So who is sepaking about light going off. Shame on Nigeria on power  generation.

man u is going today

it has happened again as usual. I was an eye witness at Obosi, election did not take place and at Ojoto as well where I went to later, uptill 12.00pm there was no electoral material.

Which was Nigeria,

Which way INEC.

Which way Maurice Iwu and his promises

Anambra guber: Group reports Ngige to Pope
•It’s frivolous –Campaign organisation

Hours to the Anambra State gubernatorial election, a group that goes by the name, Human Rights Guard, has petitioned the Pope against the past actions of Dr. Chris Ngige adducing reasons while the church should not support him.

In a letter addressed to Pope Benedict XVI, through the Papal Embassy in Abuja and signed by Dr. Michael Nwokedi, which was copied to the Catholic Archbishop of Onitsha, Most Rev. Valarian Okeke; the Catholic Bishop of Awka, Most Rev. Simon Okafor; the Catholic Bishop of Nnewi, Most Rev. Hilary Odili Okeke; the Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Awka; Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor and the Emeritus Archbishop of Onitsha, Most Rev. Albert Obiefuna, the group raised two moral issues against Ngige.

Their letter reads: “We write to thank you for the leadership you are offering to the world in morals and religious issues. We write you with the greatest sense of responsibility and in the belief that you are the last resort on the issue under reference - the legalization of abortion in Anambra State and the bad moral example- swearing in a shrine- that some of those who are threatening to lead us are guilty of.

“We want to respectfully introduce Anambra State to your Holiness before we go into the issue in contention. Anambra State is one among the 36 states in Nigeria. It is the home state of Francis Cardinal Arinze. The state has three Dioceses of the Catholic Church: Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi. It has the highest concentration of Christians and Catholics in the country.

“In 2003, the election to choose who would govern the state was rigged in favour of Dr. Chris Ngige. Through perseverance, the actual winner of that election, Mr. Peter Obi, was returned by the courts of the land. When Dr. Chris Ngige illegally and immorally occupied the seat, he committed a lot of atrocities that were unbecoming of a true Christian. Besides visiting shrines, he caused to be passed by the state House of Assembly, into law, the Bill legalizing abortion in the state known as Reproductive Rights Law.

“It is regrettable, your holiness, to note that while he was doing all these, he was compensated by the church by being made a Knight of the Catholic Church. We believe sincerely that the church, as well as the civil society should work hand in hand to promote the values they share together, such as the respect for human rights and the preservation of the sanctity of life by guarding against any act that will promote acts geared towards taking of lives whether at foetal stage.

“Your holiness, from the little that we know about the church’s stand, we are convinced we share the same views with her, which is rooted in the Bible and the teachings of the fathers.
“We are aware that the Catholic Church has long opposed all forms of artificial birth control and abortion. Moral and philosophical grounds of the opposition can be traced back to the fathers and doctors of the church - St. Jerome, John Chrysostom, Epiphnius of Salamis, Augustine, Lactantus, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria etc, who condemned any and all means of frustrating the natural ‘end” of the procreative act.

“In modern times, the Catholic Church’s hostility has been made explicit in a series of Papal encyclicals, including Casti Cannubi (on chaste marriage); of Pope Pius XII; Humanae Vitae (on human life); of Pope Paul VI; Evangelium Vitae ( the gospel of life); of Pope John Paul II. The Catholic case against abortion cannot be expressed better than in the words of Pope Pius XII: “The unborn child is a human being in the same degree and by the same title as its mother.

Moreover, every human being, even the child in its mother’s womb, receives its right to life directly from God, not from its parents, nor from any human society or authority. Innocent human life, in whatever condition it is found, is immuned from the very moment of its existence, to any direct deliberate attack. The life of an innocent human being is inviolable, and any direct assault or aggression on it violates one of those fundamental laws without which it is impossible for human beings to live safely in society.”

Having taken the foregoing into consideration, the group said it is condemnable that Dr. Chris Ngige, a Catholic Knight, who legalized abortion in his state was courted by some officials of the church.
“Why can’t our clergy take a clue from what happened in America, how Archbishop Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Denver and Bishop Joseph F. Martino, of the Diocese of Scranton, among others refused Mr. Joe Biden, the vice president of America Communion because of his stand on abortion.

“We believe that the church should be more vocal in the promotion of Christian virtues by dealing decisively with her members that refuse to abide by the teachings of the church, especially while in public service.
“The man under reference was reported to have also visited one shrine in our state called Ogwugwu Akpu where he swore, thus telling us that he was not a Christian in the right meaning of the word.

“We appeal to his holiness to direct Dr Ngige’s local church leaders, Archbishop Valerian Maduka Okeke of the Archdiocese of Onitsha; the Bishop of the capital city of Awka, Bishop Simon Okafor and his Auxiliary, Bishop Paulinus Ezeokafor to furnish your holiness with the true state of the report we are humbly bringing before your holy seat.

“We believe that the strong stand of the church in matters like this will discourage others from taking a similar line of action.” The Ngige Campaign Organisation, however, dismissed the petition as “frivolous and mere politics.” The Assistant Director of Communications, Mr. Tony Icheku, who spoke to Daily Sun on telephone explained that the said ‘Reproductive Rights Law’ was never passed by Ngige during his tenure as governor, and challenged the authors to produce evidence to prove their case.

According to him, Abortion Laws are in the exclusive list in the Nigerian Constitution, which makes it impossible for a state House of Assembly to handle. “A state House of Assembly cannot handle it. It is not in the residual list in the constitution for state legislatures to handle. Since abortion and the right to life are in the exclusive list, it is for the National Assembly to handle.

The petition is frivolous and mere politics,” he said.
On the allegation that Ngige swore to an oath in a shrine in Okija, Ngige said there was no record that he participated in any oath administration, admitting, however, that he visited the shrine.
“He visited Okija quite alright, but no swearing occurred because Chris Uba, who took him there refused to swear.”
