I think u might have a problem..while not complain to the embassy to avoid embarrassment at POE? They will surely move it to the new one for u. Even if u have to pay a token, but in ur case, I don't think u will even have to pay anything as I belief it was an oversight or error
Plausible

Always take the two passports wherever you’re going, present both at the airport too, there’s no problem with that as long As they both got your informations on both passports.

Hello house,
Any issue with this?
I applied for Visa but it was stamped inside my expired international passport attached to the new one.

Will this create issue with immigration?

No issues at all.
Take both passports when travelling. You will be stamped VIPP in your current passport.

Visa In Previous Passport

Just make sure all three names tally.
Old and new passport and visa

I don't know why but I am still Pro-Cars45 (sort of).
Maybe because I know cars are treated like poop in Nigeria and I will go into the venture with the mindset that EVERYTHING is wrong with the car and I am getting it for a commensurate price.

You want to repaint the car? I am very wary of these painting I see being done on cars in nigeria; they're disgusting to say the least. Its always too shiny, and there are always ripple below the surface. After a few months, the paints begins to look like they were plastered on the car, it doesn't look like a second skin anymore. Where would you be painting this bmw?

So, dear sir, with my above submission and without let or hindrance, do I have your blessing/permission to send Adolf in for a paint job?
I humbly await your anticipated kind approval grin wink

Yours sincerely.
