Good morning all and I must say this thread has been so helpful. I got my Passport yesterday, I applied on 31st August, 2022. I was REFUSED These are the excuses they gave 1. My finances! They did not believe I have access to the money and complained about some lumpsums that came in and also on the fact that I use my money to balances that they believe are inconsistent with the expected amount that will cover for my stay for a week 2. My itinerary has passed as I informed I will travel in October as a result of expecting 6-8 weeks to process my visa 3. I did not book my hotel even though I showed them where I will stay. Will never have booked o until I see my Visa approved 4. They believed I did not have a tie to my home country (I run my business, have pictures of my family attached, showed them evidence of my assets (cars and house), church leadership!) This must be the Nigeria Japa factor and every Nigerian is now a suspect 5. My travel history was also an issue. I had only travelled to Cape Town and Dubai before now. They pointed to this that my last travel out of Nigeria was in 2018 6. The application letter too was stylishly used against me. I wrote that I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A WEEK OR TWO WEEK REST AT THE END OF THE YEAR. 7. Looks like they were not concerned about my earlier UK refusal though. Won't know if that also affected the decision though Conclusion: I am truly not too bothered as indeed i just want to go for sightseeing and rest from many wahala and stress around here. not thinking of Japaing for now. I am looking to APPEAL even if not for overturning their decision. Do I need to add my Passport again as I can't afford giving them another 3 months to hold me to ransom o Sincerely, BEING A NIGERIAN AT THIS MOMENT IS SERIOUS O! |

Politics / Re: Tomorrow Starts Today! A Youth Political Part? Your Views? by Yinkaolu(m): 8:59am On Jan 07, 2014 |
The Presidency has made a proposal for an upfront deposit of N1.5billion for a brand new private jet, which will become the Presidential Air Fleet’s (PAF) 11th aircraft. This figure is contained in the details of the 2014 Appropriation Bill presented to the National Assembly by President Goodluck Jonathan through the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. The Federal Government has budgeted another N1.52b for the maintenance of the 10 aircraft currently in the PAF in 2014 and it is now set to spend just about that amount on a new one. This prodigious squandering of taxpayers’ money is reckless and unacceptable. The PAF already boasts two Falcon 7X jets, two Falcon 900 jets, Gulfstream 550, one Boeing 737 BBJ (Nigerian Air Force 001 or Eagle One), and Gulfstream IVSP. Others are one Gulfstream V, Cessna Citation 2 aircraft and Hawker Siddley 125-800 jet. The combined estimated value of the PAF is about $390.5m (N60.53bn). According to industry experts, it costs a minimum of 20 per cent of that figure to maintain them annually. So we’re looking at about $58.57m (N9.08bn) yearly for maintenance. Private jets are money guzzlers either in the air or on land. The proclivity of this administration for frivolous spending is well documented. The government has been severely criticised in the past for the colossal amount of embezzlement, rip-off and wastage that have been its hallmark. The rationale behind this new aircraft in the PAF must be condemned . Apparently to hush the cacophony of voices that will rise in opposition to the proposed new jet, the Presidency in its usual deceitful manner, has made part payment for what can best be described as a completely unnecessary toy of comfort. The Nigerian PAF is already bloated. If he can’t travel in any of the 10 jets in PAF’s possession, then there’s absolutely no need for an eleventh one. At a time we would think the numerous editorials and op-eds have succeeded in curbing waste and frivolities which this government now symbolises, then came this new proposal. We must continue to resist their recalcitrance. This lavish lifestyle must be checked. The waste in government is also demonstrated in the large entourage that accompanies Mr. President on his foreign trips. One can only imagine the millions spent on hotel bills and estacodes that accrue to the government officials. According to reports, world leaders are stunned at the strangely large number of such entourage. The recent trip of President Jonathan in the first week of January this year to Kenya and the hullabaloo about his entourage are apt. It is shocking that the same people who have budgeted millions for this new flying toy are aware that the country has no national carrier as I write. It is shameful that the PAF has about the third largest fleet of aircraft in the country with a total of 10 aircraft, coming closely behind Aero Contractors with 12 and Arik Air, the largest commercial airline in Nigeria with a fleet of 23 aircraft. Nigeria happens to be one of the few countries in the world with such a large PAF. It is ridiculous that this is happening in an aviation sector that is dominated by foreign airlines. Nigerian carriers are going under due to cash constraints. Countries with visionary and focused leadership like Malaysia, Ghana, South Africa and a host of others across Europe maintain only one aircraft in their PAF. As the much publicised take-off of the proposed national carrier before the end of the year failed, it won’t be out of place to make a case for the government to seriously consider converting the PAF to a national carrier, retaining one or two for use by Mr. President and his co-travellers. The private jets can form the hub of the charter aircraft. What better example than the one given by a national leader like British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in 2010 when he slummed it in business class of a commercial airline flying from London to Washington. He was caught on camera swanning around the world in hired jets. He flies around the world on British Airways! Had it been in Nigeria, security risks, flight delays are few of the sundry reasons government officials would have given for not flying commercial airlines. The U.S. President, Barack Obama, reportedly pays for his food, ours spends almost a billion naira to entertain himself and members of his government yearly. It amazes many Nigerians who watch in utter disbelief the profligate nature of government. This government has embarked on some white elephants like mere renovation of official residences with billions of naira. Courtesy: punchng.com |

edunwosu: Good governance is the responsibility of everybody. Until we are able to exhibit the attributes of good governance in our individual capacities, the ills that bedevil our dear country, Nigeria will only become worse. To this end, well meaning Nigerians and groups/organizations have been so supportive of Nigeria Youth Network initiatives and not just Olukanni Olayinka's thought. Of note is GGN, Idiaminrepublica, Expressions Nigeria etc. The much awaited meeting is in January and venue is in Lagos. Details to be given soon on this same thread and other media. Together, we will have the Nigeria we deserve and will put in our joint efforts to the change for the better. Together, it is possible! Happy 2014 and wishing Nigeria the best any Nation can achieve in a year in 2014! God bless all Nigerians! God bless Nigeria! God bless Nigeria Youth Network! 1 Like |

To all: In the words of Mr. Nwosu, significant change can be made in Nigeria through politics. The much awaited meeting is in January 2014 and venue is in Lagos. Logistics is highly in place and soon to be announced to all. Topics of discuss will also be highlighted. Thanks as we all work together in making possible the Nigeria we so desire! |

barcanista: What is the ideology of this "group? @Barcanista: The Op of this thread used to hate politics with all passion seeing the end point of most well meaning politicians even worse off than the so called known tyrants but got to know that POLITICS is the tool to which governance can be totally changed/reformed. The ideologies of the proposed NIGERIA YOUTH NETWORK includes but not limited to; - Youth inclusion in administration - Nigerian youth seen/encouraged to meaningfully contributing to the development of the nation - Preventing an unwanted Nigeria version of the ARAB SPRING as the youth are VEXED and revolution imminent - Constitutional review to make Nigeria a better nation - Foreigners/Foreign investors outlook on the Nigerian youth due to the way even our leaders present us as incapable - Support/Oppose any government/individual/group that is anti-human and youth degrading - Add yours* These are just some of the ideas that brought about the proposed Nigeria Youth Network which are expected to be well refined as we come together soon and make the change we desire. Moreso, we believe, DEVELOPMENT is possible! |

phantonce: what is the assurance that the youths won't be like pdp or apc. @PhantOne: Thats a good example cited above. Lets also take Ghana here as an example. Lets take Tunisia and Libya also as examples. Sir/Ma, I want us to start with knowing that the change recorded by these countries were brought about by singular/collective efforts of the youth and also that the proposed Nigeria Youth Network is not a YOUR party as you stated and not against any/working for any party. Much more, proposed NYN as earlier stated is not a SUG/Tertiary institution political party as earlier explained, hence the age range of 20-45 years. Sir/Ma, the aim of this group/party is YOUTH INCLUSION in administration and a means of bringing up a change. The OLD are not relegated and not to be relegated but the fact is if we keep on doing the same thing the same way and expect different result, then we may not be so wise.We stand to try out a change and also make a move at making out a YOUTH GROUP/PARTY that gives room to Nigerian youth having a say and not just seen as political thugs/election tools alone. The constitution as you said is corrupted and we can all move as a voice to make the change we desire. Finally, what I think you are missing is the fact that the first set of posts on this thread would have given you the insight into what we really stand for. Thanks as we will soon formally make a launch for the change we desire together! |

phase1: Op good idea!...but...em, unfortunately i doubt the workability of your proposition. Wanna know why?. Aight, let's go back in history. @Phase1: For real, Nigeria politics/administration in the era of democracy has been plagued by these two weapon/menace of RELIGION AND ETHNICITY! While the former is really subtle that the former, Nigerians had fallen for these all along. Well, the time is now when we need to make the move as the purpose of creating this thread is definitely almost fulfilled i.e to know youths readiness for liberation. The proposed Nigeria Youth Network aims at getting the youth together and bringing out leaders/administrators in Us. Religion/ethnicity/academic level etc will not be a barrier but we hereby want all change oriented Nigerian youth to constructively contribute/be a part of this move for change. Thanks as I know someone like you will definitely be an indispensable part of this movement! It always seem impossible until it is done! |

latitidejavu: Been reading the posts and i must commend the zeal. But i am still watching. The nigerian youth network name is too legalistic. There are thousands of networks out there. It will just turn into another NGO. Lets get a name that shows we mean business. I suggest simply THE YOUTH PARTY. No big deal, straight and direct. Then i suggest we get off our computers into the real world as fast as possible, if not this idea will die. @Latitidejavu: Thanks for the contribution. The Nigerian Youth Network as I said earlier is a proposed name. We are aiming at something political and is youth oriented. The Youth Party/Nigeria Youth Party/ the African Youth Party are viable suggestions that will come up as we hold the first general meeting in Lagos by January. For real, staying behind the computers may not achieve a thing until we come out and make realistic plans and actions. Awaiting your constructive presence at the meeting. .
