[quote author=sisisioge post=67392615]Since you've been around all this while without any headway in the food dept, why not just start cooking your own food? If you eventually find a good spot, it will still be expensive. Issue resolve

I’ve tried to find foods in Shoprite to make myself but not much luck there either and moreso due to the lack of cooking equipment where I’m staying.

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can help me..

I’ve been in Nigeria (Ibadan) for 3 1/2 months now and really struggling to find places where I can eat foods I enjoy. Most days I am mostly having just one meal as there is only a handful of places that I can find food that is not African.

I am from England and most foods are too spicy for me even when I ask for something not to be and makes me bad. I find myself eating KFC, Pizza or noodles or fruits/Veg etc most days.

When I visit Lagos there is slightly more options for me but still struggling here In Ibadan.

Is there any restaurant suggestions that cater for continental dishes? I find some hotels have better options for me but obviously more expensive Preferably in the area or not too far away for ideas please.

Thank you.

Ok thanks for your help

Hi

I am hoping someone can help. I am getting a lot of mixed information in regards to marriage certificates. Me (British) and my partner (Nigerian) are getting married in February.. we were going to go to the local registry officer near where he lives but then was told we should go to Ikoyi Registry as they are the only ones that issue federal marriage certificates and if we get married at the local registry the certificate would not be recognised internationally i.e back in UK.

Is this true as I cannot seem to find a straight answer anywhere and now getting worried as what is best to do to avoid any problems with the certificate in the future.

My partner went to the local registry today to ask their advice and they said it would be ok to have it there but I just want everything to be right.

Any help would be appreciated!

Partnerbiz:
Yes you can get it there for a pittance. The people there have samples already. They will charge you between 400 to .....

Again it can be gotten in 10 mins.

Ah that’s great news thank you!

Hi

Can anybody please advise me on how to get an Affidavit of Bachelorhood and Spinsterhood?

Can this be done on the day of filing the notice for marriage or does it have to be done in advance? I cannot seem to find information on this. I am from the UK marrying a Nigerian if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Can anybody confirm about the affidavit of Bachelorhood and Spinsterhood?

Can this be done on the day of filing notice or is it something you need to bring?

With a little greasing of Palms you would get two years visa if you want. Go ahead and book your flight.

Really?? How would I do that? That would be useful as I am going next month but will likely be going over again late next year.

I have many expatriate contacts coming into the country regularly. Nigeria Immigration will usually give you only 30-days entry permit on arrival. Pls go ahead and book your return flight for your desired 60/90 days visit. It is very easy and so definite to legally extend your visit visa at Nigeria Immigrations.

Thank you, I feel so much better now. So should I also get my friend to put the 60-90day duration on the invitation letter too as well as on my application?

sholatech:
Sure you can apply for 90 day visa and will be granted. However on arrival, the immigration stamp might most likely admit you for 30 days. If you thus require additional 60-days, you will go to nearby immigration office for 60-days extension before the initial 30-days visa expire.

Thanks for the reply.

My experience.

Got a 2 yrs Visitor Visa to Nigeria. Got to Nigeria and was stamped in for 30 days only,but I errorneusly assumed it was 90 days as obtainable every Where.

I did not look at the stamp entry.

I stayed 40 days,and on my way back I was delayed and told I was an illegal immigrant, which was comical, considering the fact I am a Nigerian by birth, but sometimes uses the Visa If I am travelling to Nigeria from where I have no access to my Nigeria passport.

Money exchanged(20k Naira) and I was allowed on my way. So, I guess this 30 days thing is the official thing.

This happened 3 yrs ago.

Thanks for the reply..
