Acknowledging honest hardworking vendors, contacted @Davidmactalabi all d way from Canada to work on some travel documentations for me, never met him in person but his efficiency + commitment to transparency was very impressive. Delivered without having to chase him around 💯
So, like last year when i dropped this update that has taken a lot of people out of the country already as the success rate was high. I am bringing you all the opportunity AGAIN this year.
Many of you here have been quietly planning to leave Nigeria. Most of you have been working on this plan for 18, 20, sometimes 24 months. The visa isn't the problem. The money isn't the problem.
What's holding the plan together by a thread is IELTS.
And it's not because IELTS is unusually hard. It's because most candidates prepare without ever knowing if they're actually ready.
They keep watching videos, doing past questions, downloading materials. But they can't honestly answer the most important question: what would I score tomorrow?
If that describes where you are, there's a 4-Week IELTS Exam Ready Masterclass starting 15th of June, built to close that gap.
Sharing this to help someone, everyone quietly working on their plan.

As the Minister of Interior, I joined key stakeholders in Lagos today for a critical high-level emergency preparedness meeting convened on the directive of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
The meeting led by the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, brought together the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), other health authorities, security agencies, and emergency response officials to review Nigeria’s readiness and strengthen preventive measures against the Ebola virus disease.
While there is currently no confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria, we are not leaving anything to chance.
At the Ministry of Interior, our focus remains firm on border control and robust screening at all points of entry; airports, seaports, and land borders. We are enhancing monitoring and surveillance protocols using available technology and structured decision-making mechanisms to prevent the virus from entering the country.
As government, we will continue to work seamlessly as a team with state governments, the Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, and all relevant agencies to ensure this threat does not rear its ugly head in our dear nation.
Together, drawing lessons from our successful containment of the 2014 Ebola outbreak, we are confident that Nigeria will once again rise to the challenge and protect our country.
I've just woken up to ease myself & it is from a very comfortable King sized bed.
There are 46 children in captivity, currently sleeping on the hard floor somewhere in the forest.
It's been two weeks & theyre languishing away.
That's not fair. It really isn't. It's not fair.
Let’s look at a few FACTS as per comparing the JAPA criticism to life in Nigeria.
Now, an average full time worker in Nigeria works a minimum of 50-60hrs per week, while a JAPA student works a max of 20hrs per week.
I can use €20-30 to stock up groceries that will last me a week, but in Nigeria I will need a minimum of ₦100-150K for same.
I pay €49 monthly for my regional ticket that I use for train, tram, and bus around Austria, but a Nigerian will need 35-45% of his salary for transportation alone in a month.
I pay €78 monthly for health insurance that gives me access to that same health care your President and Top men scamper to get abroad, but an average Nigerian can go bankrupt with just one health scare.
I can decide to take a walk around 2am midnight and not be scared of anything, but the average Nigerian can’t confidently move around in broad daylight without fear for his safety.
As a student I can travel to 29 countries without a VISA on a 3-day vacation and I won’t need to spend more than 15% of my income, but an average Nigerian can’t afford to go to Kenya 🇰🇪 for a 3-day holiday.
Let’s not talk about stable electricity, the quality of air I breathe here, the infrastructure, and all round quality of life.
Immigration Officer: How long will you be staying in the UK?
Me: Just overnight, my flight leaves at 6 tomorrow morning.
Immigration Officer: And what’s the purpose of your visit?
Me: Honestly…I’ve just come here to eat 😂
UK no longer keeps your passport for visitor visas?
The current process :
- Present passport for biometrics ,Take it right back home.
- Get your approval via email.

You're free to travel while waiting for your UK visa!
Immigration update from the USA.
“From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card for permanent residency must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances.”
Details at https://t.co/g1fZU9cuA8
Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose.
Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process.
UPDATE!
- Portugal 🇵🇹 has placed a temporary hold on issuing Study Visa to international students.
- The POF required from international students for Italian 🇮🇹 Study Visa has been increased to €10,000 from €7,000.
To JAPA is getting harder
JAPA now before it's too late ✈️

Your driver Chukwuemeka victor korie mistakenly got transferred 87,000 erroneously instead of 8700 naira by my client and instead of refunding 80k back he proceeded to block her instead.
She doesn’t have the platform to call your company out but since I have the platform I am asking that your company do the needful and refund her what is rightfully hers.
What level of impunity is going on with your drivers?
If you can see this post please help me make Chukwuemeka victor popular since rather than refund he has chosen to be a criminal.
Do retweet until @inDrive does the needful.
