@victjustice.

Let me emphatically tell you that your thread should be nominated for the "thread of the year" award. That was a very good thinking.
EVERYBODY in da house appreciate your thread including the critics.

As a matter of fact, the critics mail simply indicates that they envy you for beating them to this noble idea.

Personally, I will like to ask about the real-sector/mortgage in Iberia/Spain Islands, do you think its a good thing to tap into for investment purpose?
Thanks for the compliments, Olat. As for your query, i regret to say that i'm not the appropriate person to give advice on business or investments in these mentioned places. Perhaps you can brows google for ideas.
TravelRe: What Re My Chances by Vicjustice: 1:24pm On Nov 30, 2007
The time doesn't seem to me too late, you can still make it if your application condition is not complicated: though it's advisable to give enough time just in case of complications.
As for the "agent", i don't know any one who enjoys preferential favour from the embassy or one who has special power to influence a visa decision: As someone who's going to further his education abroad, i expect you're educated enough to handle such thing yourself, why would you even begin to think about "agent", by the way, who are the agents?
TravelRe: Information For An American Coming To Nigeria To Get Married by Vicjustice: 11:33am On Nov 29, 2007
Any type of visa is possible provided you have credible reason for it. I advice you to contact the Nigerian embassy in your area, they're in better position to help, and they will be glad to answer your queries.
TravelRe: The New Electronic Passport Or The Old One? by Vicjustice: 2:43pm On Nov 28, 2007
oje:
thanks. Now i know its accepted worldwide. But as i said earlier, would information on my old passport be transfered to the electronic on or would i still get to keep my old passport for references??
It's not necessary that the information on your old passport would be transfered to the new one: but every embassy (on realising that you once possess a previous passport) would want to see the old (previous) one or, at least a copy of it. Therefore, the value of the old passport does influence the new one. So, you need to present both the new and the previous passport in subsequent visa applications.

Maybe you need to ACTUALLY take a trip to the west then cause they are in the millions even in the west @VicJustice
Unlike in Nigeria where hard work doesn't guarantee freedom from poverty, a poor man in the west is responsible for his own poverty; in other word, NO normal person in the west can be so poor that he can't afford essential things in life. The only wayward people i've seen so far are either junkies or drunkards.
NO RESPONSIBLE PERSON IN THE WEST CAN BE SO POOR THAT HE CAN'T LIVE UP TO THE STANDARD OF AN AVERAGE MAN IN NIGERIA

Hello Vic and everyone.
I have a friend who left for italy 3months ago. He has a wife who lives in italy with their 4years old baby. she has been living there for about 8 years now. Now he is trying to travel to Canada where his sister and her family is living. He says his Italian born baby has to be 18 years to be Italian citizen. I thought a baby born in any foreign country automatically becomes a citizen of that country, and the parents can get permit to work?? What should he do to be able to get a job there? i don't know how he got the papers he used to travel to italy. What kind of advice should be given in this kind of situation?
Ireland in December 2004, was the last country in the EU to stop the automatic citizenship by birth right. Nowadays, a child born in Ireland (like in other EU states) takes after the parent/s immigration status; that is, LIKE-PARENTS-LIKE CHILD. Explanation of this is: if a child is born of illegal residence parents, he too would be illegal and like the parents, he's not immune to deportation.
  In some countries however, the children becomes eligible for citizenship at certain ages, but believe me, authorities usually get rid of such families diplomatically by deportation before the children attain the due ages: and even if they are not deported, the frustration of not being eligible to work or the uncertain future in a self exile is sufficient for a family to say enough-is-enough and return home.

Italy and Spain are not mentioned in your list of visited countries!! and why were you offering quack advice on them? man go get a life and stop editing your posts to look like a saint, HYPOCRITE

Which Ndi-igbo use the slogan "Onitsha boys" to describe the less educated? stupid tribalist
romeo:
The issue is that you did not mention a single thing Nigerians in Spain and Italy are doing to warrant this name smearing, and for that your post about them is ignorant and stupid

You have said it all there qouting yourself about the Yorubas and Onitsha boys in Greece, whether it was in the past or present, according to you the good ones (the Yorubas) were replaced by the bad ones ( Onitsha boys)

And you did not comment on the Ireland thing in my post and i guessed you are in Dublin, so i am sorry if you are one of them too
romeo:
I am in Spain and i have gone round the whole of Europe too, but your statement about our nationals in Spain, Italy and Greece is stupid and ignorant  and the fact that you said that the few good Nigerians in Greece are Yorubas and some few other Nigerian students and that the lousy ones are "onitsha boys" makes your story ridiculously lacking credibility (sounds like ethnic mud slinging to me)

And you did not mention anything about where you are staying!!! how our people there are faring, and if you are in Dublin you should know that the Nigerians in Greece are saints compared to the people in Ireland[/color]
my 2 cents
[color=#006600]Mr Romeo,
Giving informations or impressions that lack justification because you enjoy being recognised and praised for reason of your location is simply unfair and unsuitable: such behaviour is absolutely uncalled-for.
Are you trying to say that the Nigerians in Italy and in Spain (that you supposedly reside) are living any better than those in Greece?
NO way. In fact, many Nigerians in these two countries moved over to Greece after the Italian and Spanish authorities began to send them home in mass deportation: perhaps you managed to escape the raids.
Come to think about these:
*How many Nigerians in Italy or Spain entered the countries in genuine ways (if not by using "resemblance" passports or crossing the Mediterranean sea from Morocco)?
*How many Nigerians in Italy or Spain are doing noble jobs like those in the UK or Ireland?
*How many Nigerians in Italy and Spain properly deserve resident permits (if not for the past mercies of the authorities to do mass distribution of residence permits for those frustrated illegal immigrants)?
*How many Nigerian women that were/are not involved in road-side prostitution or human trafficking in Italy and Spain?
*How many Nigerian men that were/are not involved in door to door hawking toilet papares and under-wears and occasionally begging for money in Italy and Spain?
*How many Nigerian men that were/are not kept at home by Nigerian "sugar mummies" madams who would fend for their needs as long as they remain their gigolos "poure boys"?
I know of someone who use to go on door to door hawking, sometimes, he'd ring the bell at the main doors and instead of the doors being opened or at least answered, he'd see someone open an upstair window or a balcony and throw down some coins to him saying "Thank you, but we don't want to buy anything". Sometimes, there are notes at the door stating things like "NO HAWKERS PLEASE" OR "HAWKERS BEWARE OF DOGS".
So, how is it that you now try to claim that the Nigerians in Greece, Italy or your Spain are "saints"?
Man, forget about your location and stop deceiving yourself, just come out with the truth: even if you're one of these funny guys in Spain.

  And whatever took me to these countries is none of their business, i have the capability of conscious choice and decision and intention to go wherever i please. I'd answer that question if they asked in a decent manner.

I hope you are not one of those guys that collect money from unsuspecting Nigerians only to take them to hell. Just recently somebody took 800,000 from my younger brother only to dump him in Turkey. ROBBERY, STEALING, DRUG DEALING, and FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES are not opportunities. They are criminal acts that have done considerable damage to the image of Nigeria. People do not travel because there isn't constant power supply in Nigeria. I've been to 44 countries in 10 yrs, and I know the evil our people do all over the world.

i hear you can travel to swit2erland, however if you can get a schengen visa u can move round most of EU. however note that most embassies are becoming wary of nigerian students in the UK trying to travel around. . . . one of those punishments for the "sin" of being a nigerian. neways, try get a schengen, i guess irish embassy/french embassy/dutch will be the easiest to get and with that u can go anywhere within the schengen countries.

i'll advice you to avoid the american embassy. and if you ask me, i'll say u postpone travels to spring break. travelling now will get the unduly suspicious embassies wondering . . ."why does he want to travel so soon after entering europe" na one of those things we see in a fair world, but be happy and grateful to God, luckily they cam measure or tax happiness, at least for now.

@Vicjustice,
Thanks so much for your exposition. These pieces of information goes a long way in helping those of us in naija evaluate issues and make decisions better. It seems you are now based in Dublin. And you did not make any statement about Ireland. Can you give us an insight into life in Ireland. Studying, prospects after study, economy and the lot.

One love Nairalanders
* It's more or less frequently raining in Ireland: temperate maritime; modified by North Atlantic Current; mild winters, cool summers; consistently humid; overcast about half the time.
Ireland and the UK have their hands full and tight with immigrants; both documented and undocumented, students and families, asylum seekers and naturalised dwellers.
Though there are opportunities in these two countries, and while Ireland may be appealing because of it's rich and generous social welfare programmes, if you're a student, you're only like any other African or Asia students once in Ireland because, the education system (for those who are already in the state) is come-one-come-all: so, doing your education here does not guarantee you anything enviable afterall, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants from African and Asia do attend same schools. But once you're permitted to work in Ireland, believe me, they pay more than most big name countries in the world, not even the USA nor the UK can compete with Ireland in minimum wages.
Irish people are extremely lazy, they enjoy the extravagant "social welfare" system here which makes them unwilling to work: they go to the post office every friday to collect free Social, Unemployment, Disability, Sick, or House Allowance "benefit" which is usally 246 Euro per week: There are also child benefits for every single child born in Ireland irrespective of the parent/s status; too many Nigerian women are single parents in Ireland.
There use to be immigration programmes schemes organised by the Irish government in poor Asian countries like Bangladesh China and the Philippines, this was designed to import working immigrants to the benefit of the Irish economy which has boosted remarkably in recent years, in fact, it's rated the 2nd best in the word after Luxembourg. This programme came to a halt when it became dawn that the EU would expand by 10 additional countries mainly from East Europe with feeble economies, and their citizens would flock into Ireland sooner or later.
Currently, there are about six hundred thousand Polish nationals in Ireland alone which means, one in four people you see in Ireland is Polish; thus making things complicated for the government to consider giving documents to Asylum seekers: the Irish authority believe that they have more than enough immigrants.
In the past, there used to be an immigration law that says whoever is born in Ireland (irrespective of the parents immigration status) is automatically an Irish citizen, and their mothers are given residence status of PIBC (Parents of Irish Born Citizen) residence status known as the Stamp4 recidence card. until December 2004 after Poland and other poor countries joined the European Union. There is seldom border control between the UK and the Republic of Ireland, this made it easy for undocumented pregnant women in the UK to enter the country and give birth to Irish Citizens. Many people, both single and married African women forced themselves pregnant without husbands or regular boyfriends. . . Things became funny when the single mothers would receive payments of up to 5000 Euro from men who would claim to be the arriving fathers of the IBCs. The Irish authority have been fooled in thousands of such frauds, until they introduced the DNA test into immigration which eventually led to the arrest and fleeing of many men who have already benefited from the IBC fraud.
Many Nigerian women that got pregnant and came to Ireland to give brith are now facing frustration in Ireland with their kid/s because the IBC law was amended before they could give birth. They now live in asylum seekers hostels nationwide with uncertain futures. Some have been deported and many more have been served deportation letters

@Ezinwannem. Taking the Urban train as you leave Berlin Schoenefeld airport and passing through those impressive office facilities, then looking at your right as you see the huge Mercedes Benz building, even before getting to the city centre, one can tell that Germany indeed merit the tittle "Europe biggest economy"; to my observation, there's no country in Europe that's more develop than Germany where everything looks new and clean, where you hardly see a car that is up to 5 years old. Mind you, it's capability of accommodating and maintain a population of over 83 million people above poverty level explains that it's indeed a great nation.
   Canada, with it's size bigger than the USA and a population of less than 32 million is highly underpopulated and in need of immigrants, i visited my brother who lives in Ontario, his wife is an accountant masters degree holder from Nigeria, but she has recently began to attend a school of nursing because of the lucrative medical industry in Canada. Illegal residents are not having hard times there.


PapaBrowne:
Nice article, slightly informative, lots of holes in it and lacks adequate crediblity.
You didn't state the years you visited these countries, I believe it is wayback in the nineties.
@Papabrowne, i have been quite regular in these country until July this year, so i believe i'm more current. . . AND THE INFORMATION THAT I GIVE ABOUT THESE COUNTRIES ARE VALID. if you doubt me, ask other people.


PapaBrowne:
Czech Republic
Prague in Czech Republic, without doubt is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe second only to Paris.It is a magnet for loads of Americans, British and Irish folks.

The allure of the city is so great that I think I'd prefer to live in Prague than any of the major European cities.

If you would like to study in Europe, I'd reccomend Czech as there are more than enough American Universities you can attend and later on transfer to America with relative ease. And their schools are pretty cheap.
Friend, i do not argue about the beauties of these countries, they're quite beautiful, but who in Nigeria is interested in the beauty of Europe rather than the hope and promises of future which these countries obviously do not offer immigrants?
   But Papabrowne, don't you see that you're making the same point with me, or didn't you read the full article before making your comments? Here's my quote about my assessment of the Czech republic bellow:
Vicjustice:
*The Czech Rep. February (year withheld): I was in Prague and the temperature during my stay ranged between  -17 to -24 degree celsius, all ground covered in white, all through my short stay until my departure day, it was remarkable that i saw no black African, not even one, the only black guy i saw was an American army on transit with his white colleagues. My assessment about the Czech republic is that it's not a place for "hustlers" but it serves as an ideal place for courses, assignment or duties.
I'M ONLY TRYING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE THEY GO TO THESE COUNTRIES IT'S A SELFLESS SERVICE. SO, EXCEPT YOU HAVE PERSONAL GRIEVANCE AGAINST ME, I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WOULD ARGUE THIS USEFUL FACTS BASED ON MY TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCE. THIS ARTICLE IS NOT MISLEADING, BUT INFORMATIVE.
