UgoFly:
Hello. I am facing the same challenge but they aren't responding to my mail. Kindly tell me the email address you sent your complaints to. Please.

For those coming to this thread, beware of scammers like this. He claimed to be RitaAmaka and tried to scam me but his name is Adekemi Adeniyi

OLOKOESHIN:
Congratulations
More than 98days today I’ve not got back my passport. What can I do and I applied for short course which date has passed….i called TLS they said they’ve not received my passport still with the consulate and they have not made decisions. We were three that applied for the same course and two others have got their passports back. I went for submission before them

I read this comment and it's similar to what's currently happening to me but I pray it doesn't end this way. Pls did you finally get the visa? Were you told cause of the delay? The course I am going for is starting this weekend and I am beginning to panic.

RitaAmaka:
The consulate responded to my email and have actually given me reasons why my passport has been delayed. Maybe you can also send them email. Be polite and don't make it too long. Be specific on how long you have waited in the mail subject. I also added all the email address associated to them.

Katebless:
Please, has anyone recently submitted their documents and done biometrics at the Italian Embassy in Lagos for a family reunion visa?

I would like to know if the lawyer calls everyone for marriage verification after submission. I have been waiting for the lawyer’s call for almost two months now, but I haven’t been contacted yet.

Has anyone experienced this before? If you were contacted by the lawyer, how long did you wait after your biometrics before receiving the call?

Thank you.

Ask AI. You might not get a good reply here

chinedu

Economic migration is as old as man, even in d bible people moved to search for greener pastures

So na Tinubu dey make people dey move inside bible right?

Why did you call him "chinedu"?

Why did you assume he/she is Igbo?

Offpoint1:
Why should I tell her that? You've confess to God already... Use the brain he gave you.


Never confess your sins to a human unless you were caught in the act... Don't try it as a man, women lack the ability to forgive... They're master of pretense, you'll be reminded about such issues till eternity.
It's hard for men to forgive, but once they do you'll never ever hear such issue mentioned ever again.

This is correct. Follow God's leading in all things. Not all spouses are born again Christians. If your spouse is not a born again, don't confess to the spouse. Once you repent in your heart and believe that you are forgiven, you have been forgiven. If you are moved to confess, confess to your pastor/priest or an elder in church. You must not tell your spouse.

The world cup was a battle between both worlds. The devil was fighting through brands support and flashing LGBTQ, the players were fighting through open display of Jesus

Abeg who don hear about NRC investment how legit is it? Please help a sister.....!!! before I dive into boiling oil.

No enter o. Their crash is imminent.

This is an old news. US has bombed Iran again. Negotiations have failed once more.

Ekabobo:
How far with the therapy sir ... Pls answer asap

I didn't later use therapy. I used YouTube and it worked. He is now speaking better.

This is an important question.

You look at your life and the life of your age mates in other climes or from wealthy background and you ask yourself "why me?"

But then again this life is not summed up in the totality of what you can gather but the level of your impact. You can have huge impact on people without financial stability or wealth. So no matter where you find yourself in life, live as God's tool/vessel for mankind. This is the essence of life.

Dear Seun Osewa,
I am a long-time Nairalander one of the many who joined back in the early 2010s and have never left. For over a decade, Nairaland has been my daily go-to for real talk: politics, business, tech, career advice, Naija entertainment, and everything in between. It is still the most authentic Nigerian online space. But brother, with all due respect, it is time to monetize the platform for its users.
Look at what is happening around us. TikTok’s Creator Rewards Program, YouTube Partner Programme, Instagram Reels bonuses and Facebook in-stream ads are paying creators real money for the content that keeps users glued to their apps. These platforms did not become global giants by accident. They gave their users a direct stake in the success of the platform. Nigerian creators who were once posting long threads here have migrated to TikTok and Instagram because that is where the money is. We are losing our best voices, our sharpest analysts, and our funniest storytellers to platforms that actually pay them for the value they create.
And the numbers don’t lie. As of October 2025, Nigeria has 47.8 million social media user identities — that is a massive 34.7% jump (12 million new users) in just one year, according to DataReportal. We rank among the top 5 countries in the world for daily time spent on social media (over 3 hours per user). Nigerians are some of the most active digital citizens on earth. Yet the one platform built by a Nigerian, for Nigerians, remains the only major one where the people creating the content get zero direct financial reward.
Imagine what would happen if Nairaland introduced a practical monetization system:
Ad revenue sharing for threads that cross certain view and engagement thresholds (just like X and YouTube do).
A Creator Fund or bonus pool for consistently high-quality contributors (similar to TikTok’s model).
Subscription tiers or tipping on posts for exclusive sections, premium discussions, or “Nairaland Gold” badges.
Even simple things like paid promotions or sponsored sections where users can earn commissions.
This is not rocket science. It is what every successful social platform has done. The result? More users stay longer, post better content, and bring their friends. Traffic explodes. Ad inventory becomes more valuable. Nairaland itself makes more money while finally giving back to the people who built it with their time and intellect.
Seun, you have built something special a truly Nigerian product that has outlived many foreign copycats. But the world has moved on. If we want Nairaland to compete globally and remain the number one destination for serious Naija conversation, we must give our contributors a reason to stay and invest their best effort here instead of chasing pennies on foreign apps.
This is a win-win. Better content = more users = more ad revenue = sustainable platform + empowered Nigerian voices. Our people are already online in record numbers. Let us stop exporting their talent and start rewarding it at home.
I am not asking for handouts. I am asking for a fair system that matches the global standard. Thousands of us long-time users are ready to support this move 100%. We just need you to take the first step.
Seun, the ball is in your court. Let’s monetize Nairaland and take it to the next level.

Respectfully and with all love for the platform,
A Dedicated Long-Time Nairalander

That's why they are the police of the world. That's what police do literally.

Ibehchizzy:
Your post says the form is out
The picture you posted says successful candidates that has been recruited to the navy
Are you okay at all

No vex. Na mistake. Ya kuri

kpankpangolo:
Why shouldn’t Boko Haram/ISWAP concern them? Beliefs of the sort lead to complacency. I read news not long ago of the US navy dropping troops on land to engage whatever. The major aim of defense forces is to carry out operations no matter where they find themselves.

Their focus is militants and pirates on the sea. It's not complacency. It's specialisation.

The Nigerian Navy recruitment form list is out. If you applied, check for your name

Tell us the worst thing a family member has done to yoj

Give us details of any failed investments you or someone you know made.

Daniel simply avoided to make merry with those that didn't honour his God

Chaii..my condolences to him

duduade:
You go explain tire

I am sure you had to be talking too much because it's a female

I am speaking facts beyond your knowledge and you are playing gender card.

fabolouz1:
She was a combat pilot and the first female at that in the Nigeria Airforce.

Not at all. She wasn't.
