Has anyone carried dried or frozen snails before to US?
Must one grind the ogbono and egusi?
I don't like grinded egusi after some time. I feel it gets stale easily.

Make a reservation now and put it on hold. I reserved emirate on Friday But couldn't pay. I reserved it for 298k on thier website and on Saturday same ticket was 897k.
I used a fake name to reserve it cos I was trying to get the price 1st before making payment. I was now ready to pay and called them to change it to my dads name, the guy said I can't change d name again . Na so I loose the ticket.Very rude guy. I called thier Dubai customer care.
I went to Qatar website and reserved on sat for 292k and paid yesterday for it. The sane ticket in Qatar is 400k today

Bossman:
Udiboy, have you looked into Transfast? Their rates are usually about 10 naira less than the going market rate. And they charge 1.5% of the transfer amount. You have to walk into one of their brick and mortar stores to get this rate. The last transfer I did was done at 345 naira. I got a txt from my first bank, within 1 minutes of doing the transfer. Heck! Before I could even finish looking at the receipt the woman gave me. I transfered 2K and paid $30 fee. To me, it's safer and all about peace of mind.

Thank you.
I have not used them before.
Funny enough I have been exchanging with nairalanders and so far it's been going great.
No stories . I thank God
I actually did 5k$ last year with a guy here and he paid me 1st (that's my rule, I have trust issue) and I transfered him to him afterwards.
I couldn't believe people still trust people . Me I can't anyway.
I have met a couple of people here that I trust and give my dollars and wait for thier naira.
I send money to my peeps in Enugu often so I am always exchanging .

Jiji11:
Just call the Nigeria contact center in the morning; Plus as long as you paid within the time frame they stipulated on the booking- you will be fine.

Ok good!
Thank you
Have you travelled?
How was the treatment at the layover? Hotel and food?

Jiji11:
You reserved yesterday so you have till tomorrow at about the same time you made your initial reservation to make payment so you are good unless their payments terms have changed . Either way you don pay and today is Sunday -not a working day. So your ticket go come tomorrow -hope you remember to include your booking reference sha. Or just call in the morning- I had to call cos I did my transfer on a Sunday also

Oh wow! So was your ticket still on hold the said Sunday because it was a Sunday?
If yes, then I can rest now. Cos men I can't afford to pay 800k and something for a new ticket.
I was beginning to panick though. I called Qatar US office and they said it's still pending.
Hopefully it's because today is Sunday that it's delaying.

MommaT:
I transferred into their account using the naira equivalent, got my ticket within an hour, did not have to call them.

I transferee naira equivalent 2 hours ago and am yet to get a confirmation
It's still saying pending
I transfered to thier GTB account

Jiji11:
I paid via bank transfer -Internet banking into their naira account with Eco bank( include your booking reference in transfer description part) I paid the equivalent of the usd amount (used the currency converter on their website) and called the next day with my reference number and my payment was seen and my ticket was issued straight up and they also sent the hotel voucher asap in a separate email. Some people would call them for the naira amount to pay while others would go to the bank and they would do that.

Thank you jiji.
I did transfer online to thier GTB account the naira equivalent. Reserved it yday for 298k but today the same ticket is 873k. I have 48 hours to make payment but wanna pay today to avoid stories that touch. I paid about 2 hours ago and On thier website it's still saying Ticket PENDING.
I will wait and see
Thank you

Please who have used Qatar airlines and how did you pay to them directly!
They have ecobank and standard bank as thier banks on the website and they also posted their naira accounts.
I want to be sure before my money will enter voicemail
Please guide
Thanks

chloe7:
if you want to change date or add infant please don't, wetin wakanow do me I can't forget in my life, they are all same what I do now is that I search through them then proceed to the airlines website to buy because it gives me an idea of how much the airline ticket price will be.

Exactly my thought.
Y buy from travel start while you can but it cheaper from the airline directly and pay in naira if you wish. ?
I will advice you to reserve one and put it on hold at the airline website because nobody knows what naira will be tomoro and the prices may go up. Just reserved mind and paying 1st thing tomoro morning.
Good luck

Please how did you pay for your Qatar airways ticket in naira?
Which bank can I pay to and can I do online transfer in naira to the bank.
Anyone done this before?
Thank uou

nefertitiram:
Av had them email you. You can take the discussion further from there

Ok, thank you. Saw the email. I will reply them now.

ekoboy:
It is possible something is not right but observe that exchange rate is no longer N199. It is a figure X which will be known from Monday. Expectations is that X will likely be more than 199. If that happens ticket prices will definitely increase. I will advise that you quickly book on hold any of the airlines still using N199 exchange rate and quickly pay 1st thing on Monday.

I think you are very correct. I am guessing that's what happened. Because I actually put a ticket on hold for 293k but didn't pay and wanted to pay in d morning the following day and it's 886k the cheapest value. Na wa

Na wa o
Emirate has gone bunker too.
From 300k to 489k overnight.
Something is not right

It's your time

Thank you everyone. I am buying from emirate directly and that will save me the stress of 3rd party agent especially if I need to change the dates.
My peeps don't mind doing the long hour layovers, so it's a win win.
Thank you all for your contributions.

Oga justwise removed "ALL" my comments. That's ok. I will move back to my business session whenever I need to exchange.
I was only here to 'help' peeps here so you don't keep running upandan Incase you wanted small $.
I am not a businesswoman.
Good luck everyone.
And be careful with fx dealings.Too many unreal people are out there.
