We have done well, to be honest. We will definitely overcome.
Our surveillance activities were topo grade, we actually showed the world the resilience of our systems.
We are properly prepared, and lucky in many respects.
1. The index patient was a high profile individual, just like sawyer. That means minimal contact with people.
2. We had sufficient test kits and PPE, with isolation centres ready for the cases
3. Funds were already released,
We will do well

I don't think this is new practise.
How it makes sense for someone to sit between the driver and the window seat passenger is beyond me. No safety belt, no balance, no leg room, poor ventilation, and you're literally in the way of the driver's gear shifting hand.
Too stressful.
Stop it

Yes you can still use the first appointment booking.
Just make sure you have it printed. I did the Walk-in 42k

Sociallyawkward:
Please did you finally do the walk in at Abuja?

I had to cancel my first application due to a mistake but I don't know if I can still reuse the appointment I booked for my old application. Please help

oluayebenz:
42k

Thank you for this information

MrsDaniels:
I guess dey now do Walk-in appointments so you could go and pay for it to allow you submit your docs and do biometrics

Thank you so much for this answer. Do you have an idea how much the walk-in costs?

Hello guys,
I missed my TLS biometrics (premium appointment) on Wednesday 21st August.
Do I need to reschedule to book another appointment? Or can I go on 25th?

I missed it cos I was stuck at work!
Please respond. Thanks

Media has not failed. They are on strict instructions not to report those kidnapping incidents otherwise, they put themselves at risk

OhiOfIhima:
Our media has failed us again.. what happen in Nigeria was first reported by foreign media..

OK oo..

I work offshore as well, and I had to move out of PH for security reasons. Multinationals would warn you to be careful, otherwise, they won't pay the ransom if you get kidnapped.
Now I just live a quiet life in Lagos, fly to the airport, then offshore and back to PH airport. Don't pass one night in PH!

bendike:
So I hear oh. My paddy was kidnapped in pH 2 years ago. Bros now goes to work from lekki.

See, once you allow criminals taste blood, there will be no going back.
The petrol dollars these guys earn from their criminal activities can never be matched by the FG.
They're a whole army right now, and can't be tamed.
My primary concern is how these things reflect on Nigeria as a coutry, and how people of ND NEVER look inwards and remove the spec in their own eyes.
Kidnapping is a whole ass industry in SS, and I like that they keep it off the media while they cry Buhari everyday.

By the time they implode, it will be too late

lexy2014:
Some years ago, I was in a vehicle travelling in an Agofure vehicle from Lagos to PH. During this time, ND boys had just started kidnapping white oil workers. There was a conversation in d vehicle about this new trend as it was then. Unfortunately, virtually everyone in d bus supported it because they said it was oyibos that were being kidnapped. 4 some reason, I didn't support it& I was d lone voice in d wilderness. I told them that they shouldn't think that d kidnappings will stop with oyibo. They dismissed & said it is good& that I should forget it. Once govt gives them what they want, d kidnappings will stop. But alas, here we are

It is worthy of note that this is the 60th kidnapping INCIDENT offshore Nigeria (Gulf of Guinea) in 2019 alone, with hundreds of people kidnapped.
Even locals are kidnapped along with the expats. Mighty, a popular OIM just got released recently.
About 15-20 of these incidents happened offshore Lagos
Only 2 groups claim responsibility for these crimes, and they are both in the Niger Delta region.
So all drilling rigs MUST now spend tens of thousands of dollars to hire naval ships to protect EACH of them.

Expats don't bother staying in PH anymore. From rig to the airport to Lagos or Amsterdam, then off to their country.
How do you expect Niger Delta to develop with this madness?


Kidnappings in the SS and SE NEVER make it to mainstream media, cos the criminals are smart and warn victims NEVER to put it online.

SE roads are worse death traps than anywhere else in Nigeria, in terms of criminal activities. They themselves kill themselves in their thirst for wealth, yet they scream marginalization the most.

Fix up, Ndo

Finally found a place to pour this rant.
When I find the kidnapping map, I'll add it to this post.

Now that seaports are opening up in other parts of the country, can we now implore people to remain in their states and stop trooping to Lagos?
Or they go develop the capital city as well.

Angelfrost:
Tell that to the large number of citizens trooping in daily from every region in the nation... This is what happens when you center all major business activities and international business interests in one state... Lagos has long ceased to be the capital of Nigeria, but the memo obviously failed to trickle down all these decades. It never occurred to your leaders to decentralize business activities by opening up seaports in other parts of the country, even move diplomatic buildings, or mandate industries to relocate to other states...

Shall we talk about the failure of most states to create jobs, and enable establishment of businesses to accommodate the teeming work force of the nation...

This is truly a shithole...

But it's not compulsory to live in Lagos sha

They did this lady dirty, ruined her.
You can see through it all

It's an impoverished mind that would stash up cash abroad

CEE-CEE was worse off sha. Hope she knows

Lord have mercy o

Smooth roads but time and chance�

I was in your shoes this time last year and I returned to Nigeria. Zero regrets
