Hello gurus in the house, please I am not sure of what 'CALAPKT' means on my passport tracking �, when other people's tracking IDs carry 'CALATRV'. I applied for a visiting visa from Nigeria and I have submitted my passport only to see that my tracking ID looks different from other visiting visa applicants'.

How far bro, what did it eventually mean? Did you get to find out? Was the response positive or otherwise?

Travel / Re: Japa: Nigerian Elite’s Disconnect From Reality – The Segun Agbaje Example by szczescie(m): 12:43pm On Nov 18, 2022
Tell them please, Most Advise has its targeted audience oh.

Look, If you are a billionaire or a multimillionaire as in you earn millions per month PLEASE don’t leave Nigeria.

I have worked and schooled all over Nigeria in bank, law firms, federal and state government levels and as a lawyer I can tell you if you are rich or you have connections you can talk, buy or beg your way out of jail, out of tax, out of most small and medium every day problems and even more, you can get away with a lot. Life is easier for you in Nigeria you can pay to cut lines in bank and cut corners in most places, protocols bend for you.

That is why Agbaje and his likes Will say NO NEED TO LEAVE NIGERIA he is right but it’s only For him and those in his financial bracket.

But for me and you on naira land the everyday normal, average salary earner who doesn’t have phone numbers of Governors, Ministers, IG of police on their phone, who has no money for ransom saved somewhere in case, for us who earn peanuts I mean you earn less than 250k a month for working full time 6am to 6pm (plus hold up) and the fact that even your spare time belongs to your boss or job based on respect for those in authority and elder and no job anywhere, everyone wants your job. So you go out of your way to add jara just to please your boss. It’s our culture. And despite all that your rent takes up half or more than half of your salary. Hmmm…. Agbaje’s Advise is not for us oh

People like you and me can FLEE (but please do it legally don’t go through desert you may end up paying those Libyans millions of naira to free you from their cells. And that’s even if you survive the Sahara desert. So please flee but do it legally and be ready to work hard as hard as you’ve been working in Naija things will go well for you just remove shame from your eye and be willing to work. You will be respected and you will be paid well and on time.

No mind agbaje and his likes, his advice is for those in his financial bracket.

They were slaves bought by the bini people to be sold to the Europeans but unfortunately for the bini people slave trade was abolished by the Anioma people refused to go back to Igbo land for fear of being outcast, osu, ghost because most of them were already osu and outcast or seen as dead via the long god of arochukwu and so on.
It’s only because they don’t know their history that they are claiming Igbo today but if they knew the story of how they got to where they are and why their ancestors refused to go back they’ll reject that Igbo identity.
Igbo’s today are doing as if they like them just for election numbers and resources finish.

Archworld:


Wait a minute o, Northern women no dey play football? I haven't heard anything about them before . Abia sharia no gree allow them?

The only female teams doing well for Nigeria and in the Nigerian female professional league are all from the South South (Niger delta) Rivers Angels and Bayelsa United 1 & 2 then Delta and co. Follows

I haven’t heard anything from even the South west and south eastern female teams. So it’s not just the north that’s quiet in female football.

That’s why I was surprised when this last under 17 girls team was almost entirely made up of Yoruba and 1 Igbo girl and 2 Akwa ibom girls I knew they weren’t serious to win the thing. Probably the coach is from that side or that was were they camped and they gave them community chance rather than scout the best talents.
If they did proper scouting we probably would have done much better.

Travel / Re: Poland Work Visa by szczescie(m): 10:53am On Jun 25, 2022
I don’t know how much your fees are
But Poland is Cheap compared to most other countries you’ll find especially in Europe and North America.
That money will not take you all the way for a student visa but will do a lot for you, almost all the major things infact.

Consider that
Proof of funds alone is like 1.5m to 2m
Flight ticket 300 to 400k if not more
Insurance is 35k
Visa application fee 80euro

There are other things to consider too like police report, transport to the embassy and more
Also as a student you’ll need to apostille or legalize your documents or whatever it’s called at the ministry of education or foreign affairs go to the student visa section you should see more info about that.

If you will get more money in the next 6months or there about then you may be able to do it all but if no money is coming in just this 1.5m I seriously doubt you’ll be able to do it all.

Also have in mind that VISA INTERVIEW at the polish embassy is not even guaranteed talk less of the VISA APPROVAL itself.

At the embassy I saw MANY people who came to complain and last year both online and offline I saw many students who wanted to get refunds back because they couldn’t get a visa interview let alone the visa itself and for many of them their schools had already commenced.

So essentially it’s a gamble; I mean they call it a “Draw” for a reason, so when you apply just remove your mind. If you plan to check every week or have people who will nag you for wasting 1m and getting no immediate result then it’d be a really difficult couple of months for you. [I’ll show you a screen shot of my “sorry you were not drawn this week”, and as long as it looks I deleted some of them and some weren’t covered in the screenshot, if not it’d be longer]

And consider the fact that the ‘raffle’ draw is held once every weekend to select about 8 or 10 lucky applicants out of the thousands in the pool and we only have 4 weekends a month on average.

Consider this we only have 52 weeks in a year (some people’s documents are valid for 6months (6 months work permit), some documents like the Nigeria police report or certificate of good character only valid for 3 months.
Here is the maths
If the embassy calls 10 people per week for interview
And accepts all 10 (which is impossible but let’s pretend) that will be 10 applicants accepted * 52 weeks = 520 applicants granted visa out of the thousands in the pool/draw
What happens to the others not drawn at all in that 52 weeks and their documents expires?

You have to have the full picture before going in.

[and according to my own hearsay from last year(this is not fact oh, even if it were fact things may have changed for the better or for worse) I heard they only gave 1 or 2 visas per week then] at the time I was speculating that it may be because they had reached their limit/target/cap for the year.

So before you start you should be as prepared as possible have all these in mind, have as many of the requirements as you possibly can, have things you feel you need to help you succeed, and also be prepared to lose it all if it doesn’t go your way.

Because the truth is there are people who were qualified, they had everything but they were never called for the interview at all till their documents expired. [i’ll add a picture of someone’s else’s application being removed from the system because his documents had expired]

My advice for you would be find the country that is most suitable for you, whose requirements you can meet and go with that, if that country is Poland then go ahead. Don’t let anyone or any of these things discourage you because it’s not easy for Nigerians in any embassy at all. And the truth is the more time you waste being indecisive the tougher things get.

You can see that everywhere when I first thought of traveling abroad TOEFL was 60something thousand naira when I wanted to apply it was 70 thousand today it’s getting to 80 thousand luckily I didn’t need it.

It’s the same for flight ticket the price has kept going up, its the same for the requirements at ALL embassies in Nigeria catering to Nigerians.

Example; the amount you need to put in a German blocked account has just been increased

As at 2014 Poland didn’t require insurance and one other thing I can’t remember now for their visa interview today the list has grown, they not only want you to have insurance but they want you to use specific insurance companies they approve and listed on their site and the insurance should have a specific duration, even the amount in the account for prove of funds as at a year or 2, people on this very thread used 500 to 600k as Proof of funds and were given national visas to Poland as at this year I don’t know of anyone who has entered Poland using less than 1m I have a feeling even that will also go up in future that’s why I recommended 1.5 to 2m to you.

So regardless of all the hurdles I told you about earlier still try and apply if you are convinced it’s the best chance you have or it’s the most suitable for you and you are willing to endure. It may be Poland or any other country you prefer but the truth is the earlier the better. Of all the countries visa processes I’ve been tracking over the years Germany, Poland, Canada, Estonia, and others not one of them became easier with time instead they ALL kept getting stricter and stricter.

If you go back to 2012-2013 and tell Nigerians that in future Poland embassy will take 6 months to even give them visa interview and they will be getting that interview by raffle draw they will laugh at you and ask you if poland is USA and if it is American visa lottery they are applying for. American visa lottery itself is a topic for another day.

So bro, The best time to plant a tree was yesterday the next best time is today, if you are serious to travel 1.5 should be enough to accomplish alot with in that regard. I wish you all the best, Goodluck.

Let me advice the good people of naira land

The world will learn to adjust; just be yourself, keep your hair the way it is, in time we all will be forced to get used to it.

As a man the first time you cut your hair skin cut or Moro Moro, Sekura, bololo etc people will laugh but by the time they see the head 2 to 3 times they’ll get used to it and even like it case in view 2face, Dwayne the rock Johnson and so on

If we as Africans have been rocking our natural hair since the 80’s by now we will be seeing it as normal we won’t see our natural hair as unkempt or hair of hoodlums and vagabonds. We only see our natural hair this way because our schools retained our colonial masters indoctrination the funny thing is those colonial masters are dead and gone but our schools still shave students hair, imagine a school in USA shaving a black kids hair because they don’t like the hairstyle imagine what would happen it would make breaking news the school will apologize people (the teacher responsible or the school administrators) will be sacked but we here we do it because we still have that inferiority Complex we inherited from our parents that they were given by the colonial masters

Think about it a white mans hair can never be too long or too stylish to be seen as unprofessional but black man with corn row or dread or even hair that is mini Afro those very small ones is seen as unprofessional where did we get it from? Even when the hair is not have the length as the white mans hair.

If you schooled with whites in Nigeria you’ll understand what I mean better all those “all the girls must plait xyz hair “ did not affect them.
All the “boys make sure you cut your hair, I don’t want to see nonsense hairstyles” didn’t affect them
So I believe that’s part of the problem because what message were acts like that sending to us all

Away from that; Me as a man I and many of my friends do not know the difference between Brazilian, Peruvian etc
I don’t know the value, their cost and what they worth.
All I know is I don’t find that space between your wig and forehead attractive at all.

If you keep your natural hair, your natural skin colour we will be forced to get used to it, but if you make us get used to wigs any day we see your real hair we will laugh. If you force us to get used to seeing your bleached skin any day you stop bleaching and it reverts or you over bleach and start shining red and green we will laugh.

Everybody should not and must not be the same colour with the same hair texture be yourself it is cheaper and healthier.

Maybe no one has told you before so let me tell you now; I as a man find Afro, corn rows, all back and so on to be much more attractive and appealing than those hair you wear and remove like cap

I find normal colour skin follow come more attractive than the bleached skin we have become used to seeing now

So if it is “man” you are doing it for men like me do not care. Stop wearing hair, stop bleaching skin.

You all saying or thinking Rivers will vote xyz because xyz.
It will shock you people Rivers State is not Biafra, rivers state is not Igbo, Rivers state is not as predictable as you think.
If you think rivers is bound to vote PDP at the federal level you are dreaming.

Let me give you people small expo some will vote Obi many more will vote APC and the rest are waiting for Wike to openly support somebody if Wike stays mute like this PDP will not even see 100,000 votes in the presidential election from Rivers it will all go to APC and some to LP

I as a Rivers man have discussed with rivers people and this is what I have found.

People from rivers will not vote Atiku because
1, they believe it’s the turn of the South
2, even the PDP rivers don’t see Atiku and co. As true PDP so they won’t vote Atiku but some of them cannot bring themselves to voting APC so some will vote LP
3, a lot of people in Rivers believe Tinubu will win the election
4, all the factions in APC rivers by all accounts so far have no beef with Tinubu
5 all factions of pdp in Rivers have beef with Atiku without votes from Rivers Atiku best bet in SS is parts Delta.
6 this election half of SS votes is going to APC and the remaining half will be shared between LP and PDP

They said I talk too much, let them leave me alone so that I will not talk too much.

If PDP win 2023 election let me bath naked. Wike will NEVER use his money, influence or anything to actively work for the victory of PDP in this election.

The best he will do is to sit down and look, he was really wronged for someone who kept the party alive to be so easily thrown away both as President and VP

The man has every right to feel wronged and to do as he pleases from here hence forth I do not think he will leave the party. But some of his men have left the party but are still loyal to him so I won’t be surprised if he too leaves but I doubt he will leave.

I also do not think it will be impossible for someone else like APC or LP to convince him to work for them, the fact that he is entertaining them says something.

The Wike of before would have Not entertained APC or Lp men even Buhari invite at Aso villa he didn’t use to honor because he didn’t want PDP to think his loyalty was in doubt

PDP messed up by losing Rivers + Bayelsa + edo votes as well as all the other states Wike was influencing their elections and voting patterns even at the expense of well established politicians like Dino Melaye let’s see if Votes from Adamawa and small sections of Delta will be enough for PDP to win 2023.
