I'm in Ibadan sir, how long do you think it would take to get the passport?

Hello and good day. Could someone guide me through the process of obtaining an international passport? I've heard that the processing time has improved. Is this true, or would I need to go through an intermediary to expedite the process? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sapasenator:


Are you an IPOB?, Lagos is as developed as NYC and PARIS, When last did you visit Lagos? PBAT really tried for Lagos and lots of my friends here in the USA are dying to visit Lagos.

Okay, now i get the gist

Sapasenator:
Who says Nigeria is underdeveloped?

Have you been to Lagos?

Lmao, how exactly is Lagos developed? I really want to know please.
Now, this is a another significant issue because many people misunderstand what true development entails, which is why we often praise governments for achieving only the bare minimum.

yemmit90:


Lolz, dey play. Education is not the reason we are underdeveloped but our cultures and traditions. Do I even need to mention numerous highly educated people in the public services that are hopelessly corrupt. These are professionals who earned their degrees in both Nigeria and first grade universities abroad.

The reality is that, black man cultures, particularly ours in Nigeria are exploitative and domineering ones. Every single soul in Nigeria are out there to oppress and make the other ones worship and beg for crumbs. You can take anything out of a black man but you can never take this innate attitude out of him.

In summary, everyone want to be king in order for others to worship, and the only way to achieve this is by holding an economic power and denied others the privilege to be like him. I am so sorry to say, we are not different from the same leaders we are blaming today. It is not our fault, but what we are by nature.

Although you made some valid point but I'll not entirely agree with you. Are you saying over 200million people will behave and act the same way? Definitely not!
In as much as I've seen most of everything you highlighted in so many individuals but at the same time in this same country, I've seen people that are completely selfless and want the best for other people as much as the want for themselves, I believe I'm one of such people. What this means is that, we definitely still have people who can get to power and make serious change. Forget the numerous educated people that are highly corrupt, all of that can be easily dealt with by having the right people in power.

Now i must say i do agree with the OP to a great extent. Our education system shouldn't even be called an education system in the first place, there's nothing being taught in our schools that can drive development of a nation in any way, I believe we both can both agree to this.
A nation's development and progress hinge on a multifaceted approach where education plays a pivotal role. While intelligence contributes to productivity, it is not the sole determinant. The interplay of quality education, socio-economic conditions, infrastructure, technology, cultural practices, and collaborative efforts creates a conducive environment for sustainable development. By focusing on these areas, a nation can unlock the full potential of its people and achieve significant advancements.

In conclusion and to address the topic from my own viewpoint, I believe both the government and the people play crucial roles in developing a nation. The government creates policies that shape the economy, education, healthcare, infrastructure and others. It allocates resources and funds projects that support national development, and provides legal frameworks and ensures stability, which are essential for growth. On the other hand, individuals drive innovation and start businesses that contribute to economic growth. The people's skills and labor are vital for implementing development projects, and active participation by citizens in democratic processes holds the government accountable and drives social progress. A nation develops effectively when both the government and the people work together towards common goals.

All of these can be achieved when a significant number of individuals with high intelligence quotient are present among both the citizens and the government. Sadly this is something missing in our dear nation.

Let me reiterate this here. If your plan is to be wealthy in life, like very wealthy, then you have nothing to do with japa. There's nowhere in the world to accumulate wealth like Nigeria because we're an emerging economy with an enormous population. All you have to do is to be able to use your brain, think of something useful to create, be serious and diligent, and watch how you amass wealth.
Think about it, almost everything a society can need has been created in the developed nations, in every sector, so how can anyone think they can penetrate such an economy and make plenty of money? No way.
I understand the fact that things aren't as they should be currently, we have so many unfortunate people managing the affairs of the country. But trust me, it's not going to be like this forever, the big players know this, you should too.

Nigeria’s large and growing population is impossible for business to ignore and a recent exodus from the West African state won’t last, South African billionaire Christo Wiese said in an interview on Bloomberg TV.

“How do you ignore an economy like this?” said the former chairman of Shoprite Holdings Ltd., the continent’s largest grocer which left Nigeria in 2021.

“Sooner or later the big players will enter again,” the billionaire declared.

In December Procter & Gamble Co. also ditched Nigeria, with at least three other global conglomerates in recent months announcing they are exiting Africa’s most populous nation, and second-biggest economy.

Many African countries, like Nigeria, developed as single-commodity economies which has meant that when the price of that product falls, the currency and consumer spending take a hit, making it difficult for foreign investors to get a return.

“Most foreign investors, including South African investors, I think have adopted an attitude when it comes to Nigeria that it’s too early,” Wiese said. “We’ve got to wait for things to settle, for the economy to develop more and then for governments that adopt the correct policies.”

The entry of several global firms into Nigeria was heralded with fanfare.
For example as Nigeria’s vice president cut the ribbon on Procter & Gamble Co.’s diaper production line in 2017, the $300 million facility near Lagos was hailed as a symbol of the country’s economic ambitions. In December, P&G said it was leaving the West African state.

The US consumer goods giant is not alone. In recent months at least three other global conglomerates have announced they are exiting Africa’s most populous nation, and second biggest economy. Among them GSK Plc, Bayer AG and Sanofi SA. Last year Unilever Plc cut some of the products it was manufacturing in the country. Nestle SA has posted losses from its operations.

At the heart of the exodus is a scarcity of the dollars international businesses need to repatriate earnings. The central bank has devalued the naira twice in the past eight months and is still struggling to clear a backlog of demand for greenbacks companies require to pay debts and import raw materials. A near complete absence of a reliable electricity supply and congestion at Nigeria’s ports are compounding the malaise.

“It’s news because it’s P&G. It’s news because it’s GSK. It’s news because they have been in the country for a long time — but there are others that have died quietly,” Segun Ajayi-Kadir, director general of The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria advocacy group said on local television after the P&G announcement. “If the current situation doesn’t improve, certainly we’ll have more closures.”

Some of the world’s largest oil reserves, ample fertile land and a rapidly growing population should have created a lucrative market for consumer goods producers following the restoration of democracy in 1999. Instead policy missteps, corruption and an over-reliance on oil fueled dysfunction in the economy. The middle class didn’t expand as much as expected.

The implications for Nigeria are hard to ignore. Its oil-dependent, $394 billion economy is already hobbled by high levels of imports. The corporate exits — $187 million in investment left the country in 2022 compared with an inflow of almost $9 billion in 2011 — will only exacerbate pressure on the naira, which has depreciated 86% over the last eight years, and deal a further blow to long-standing diversification efforts.

EXCELLENT!

The South West leads again...

Now what we need is proper training on infrastructure maintenance and security.

God continue to bless Lagos

God bless YORUBALAND.

God bless Nigeria.

Amen!

The proper training on maintenance and security should actually come first and not last. I don't think that should be so difficult to understand.
For example, can you buy a car without knowing how to drive? No nah.

As it should be!

Suddenly the governor in less than 2 hours, knows the cause of the explosion.

Were security officials aware before time that illegal miners were residing in that location?

The speed at which the government came out to state the cause of the explosion, sounds strange and smells of a coverup.

Oyo is a backward state, where electric power is supplied for only 30 minutes every 4 days, populated with cheap-looking, Ankara wearing semi illiterates, driving like crazed demons in Tin-sized, toy cars called Micra's.

Fc*uk that state.

Your attempt to disparage an entire state for the sake of appearing woke is misguided, what you are is a bloody fool! If we should ask of your state now, your papa no go fit talk am!

Hugose:


And you still attend church and pray very hard against these same so called spiritual attacks.

There is no doubt Africa still lives in the dark ages and truth be told, I have learned that it's way easier for them to harm anyone who constantly lives in denial of their existence

Pray against spiritual attack? Lol! I'm beyond that, sorry.
Liberation lies in understanding it's a mental game, stop enriching the so called men of God in the name of fighting what's not there.
But like i said earlier, you're free to maintain your beliefs. Slalom!!

It's disheartening that in this modern era, some still believe in the notion of spiritual attacks from fellow humans. Such beliefs contribute to perpetuating stereotypes about Africa being backward. Let's strive for a more enlightened perspective and embrace progress for God sake!!!
Anyways what do i know, y'all can continue wallowing in your ignorance.

adigun27:
Old news if Mr Governor no do that Betty and Jide want to make the governor unpopular so that there favorite can win April primary and they won't be probe them, nothing will change feb for Aketi burial so after burial we would dissolve cabinet and the Governor can work and ondo state people can vote him for second term

What are you saying?

Learn to understand the concept.

Before now pregnancy tests could only be done in hospitals.

Home DNA testing is closer than before.

You made a good point.

Is this still available? I have someone looking for a shared apartment around Gbagi.

Iseekforpeace:

Thank you. Were you once addicted?

Yeah i used to be some years ago when i was idle, was home doing nothing during one of the stupid ASSU strike. Somehow i found myself hooked to virtual, going to the bet shop almost everyday. I played with any money i could lay my hands on, it was really crazy, most times i trekked back home after losing all my money. After sometime i just made up my mind that this isn't right and not meant for me, so i stopped, not completely at first though but after some time, i completely stopped and the rest is history. You can do it also!!!!

I really understand and feel your pain. I wish i could do something to help you stop but in this case, only YOU can help yourself, no one else can. You have to be very determined, ready to count your losses and move on. Won't be easy of course but you have to try, cheers!

kunle4toyeyaho:
Makinde is overrated. Apart from salary payment,what other areas has he really touched? The debt profile of Oyo state has risen drastically. Until revenue started dwindling in his second term, Ajimobi's performance was excellent - Mokola flyover, a well fortified security architecture, Apete bridge,Mass recruitment of teachers in 2015, embarked on ologuneru- Akufo-Ido- eruwa road etc

First of all, none of them is special in my own book ok. And you actually made a valid point, in terms of infrastructure and the fortified security, no one comes close to Ajimobi. But you see that ordinary salary payment that Makinde have been doing promptly ehn, i think it's really good considering the current situation of everything. I understand that no government should be praised for paying salary, after all it's their duty. But for a minute, just imagine Makinde owing salary with this current situation of the economy, trust me it would have been disastrous for the civil servants. I remember vividly how it was when Ajimobi started owing salary then, even though the economy wasn't as bad as it is now.

kunle4toyeyaho:
Alao Akala tried but Ajimobi surpassed him. As for me, Ajimobi was the best

Except we're only naming past governors, i would say Makinde so far surpassed all of them. For the past 4yrs going to 5yrs in office now, man has never owed a single salary or pension plus he's trying in terms of infrastructure. Even though i don't even rate any of them in my own book but he seems to be the best so far.
