MiddyO: Gbam!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Yours will be about the umpteenth i have heard of which was not done properly. Even my first daughter's ears were not properly pierced after being charged $60! Lesson learned, i just KIV those for back home... Along with some immunisations. HMO will even pay for those procedures back home, and they are not even critical to baby's health/survival in the short run or not at all... 1 Like |

HouseofMabella:@HouseofMabella Babe, Keep calm. SSN not really critical for port. Slap some zeros in those damn boxes and put in your application. But have you explored all possible reasons why the SSN is not yet delivered? Do you stay with family? Can you ask them? Perhaps someone has seen it? Get your application in then perhaps go to the SSN office to confirm if it can be tracked. God will work it all out. All the best. 1 Like |

TheLeakyTribe:@TheLeakyTribe Mama, You don't know? If you didn't withdraw your application there would have been PTA to share with her na?! Seriously though, I am aware that banks are still giving, but some insider deals are going on. Someone just told me of an "indecent proposal" she received from a bank staff. Azzin... You will be approved if you agree to give up part of the dollars to them. So they can buy off you at 199 and sell for themselves at a profit. Best bet, go to your usual bank and make your officer Put in your application by providing justification on your behalf. I'm about to explore that option and hope it works. Will bring soon. 1 Like |

cutie333: Spoke to them yesterday. Qatar doesn't provide hotel accommodation for promo ticket buyers. Even when you buy normal economy, your ticket has to have layover of 8+ hours to qualify for hotel. In other words if your ticket is normal economy and ing thru another stop before Doha (for instance Dallas-London-Doha-Lagos) the layover on each leg may be like 4 hours for each leg, so they won't give you hotel. Anyway it's one of the cheapest tickets available today @259k today's price, so I guess one gets what one pays for... Only that the journey is long sha. .. Not for the faint-hearted. 16 hours in the air for one of the legs (in my case) I commot hand quick like person wey put hand for hot soup! This hustle must end in praise IJN!!! ![]() |

ozycy: @ozycy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Na so we dey roll o. We go all the way from Lekki axis to Oyingbo and Ajegunle markets to buy wholesale foodstuffs, fruits and vegetables... Even on NatGeo channel, I see the lions and elephants and etc going far on foot to find the food, not to talk of me wey get car... Its my Ajekpako Aploko extra mile runs... And its quite a happy thing for me buying a big basket of mangoes for instance, and the kids can eat as much as they like... For same price as i would buy just half a dozen on my axis!! But i recognise that some may not see my point and thats okay too! ![]() Try it, you just might get hooked on it too... You never know! 13 Likes 1 Share |

Ajujuju2: I usually approach Oyingbo market with the craftiness of a tortoise. Step 1. Wear boubou and tie scarf well well. Hide your weave. Natural hair. Brazillian. Crochet. Etc...If your brow is on fleek or your make up is on point, those women are adding money to your crayfish o. Wear jewelry but very simple. Leave your Marc Jacobs watch at home. Step 2. Go right inside. Far far inside. No buying on the pavement or in a shop on the street o. Those sellers are at the tail end of the supply chain o. Step 3. Ask for price of a bag. After pricing well ( check more than one seller) decide on half or quarter bag depending on your pocket. Never fails me.. whether beans or garri or crayfish. Good luck! 14 Likes |

Abefeokin: @Abefeokin Congratulations Mama!! No mean feat o! Even with one not to talk of with two. May God bless and keep you and the LOs. And your oga-ATT too oh. What's the plan for bringing them home to Naija? Are moms allowed to travel with more than one now? Perhaps you check it out so as to avoid unpleasant surprises when time comes. Please o. I hope I will not be labelled as an agent or hovering spirit ooh. I am a newbie here but I have had 2 kids in the US between 2010 and 2015. I only got to know about this forum last year from one NL mum I met in US when having my baby last year. Excellent info coming out of this thread. I have been giving advice to folks on this matter but didnt know there was such an excellent forum like this for the purpose. May God bless all of you that are giving back by: 1. Paying your bills and being honest in your dealings abroad so as to keep the road open and free for others. 2. Sharing pertinent info to be a guiding light for those wanting to key in. God bless us all! 10 Likes |

kemmytino: @kemmytino. Youre right about 911: Use 911 only when in a sticky situation. I tried it in 2010 in Las Vegas when having my daughter... I had a seafood alergy while waiting for my EDD and called them. Bill estimate was about $1200-1300 for the ride alone! Main hospital bill for actual treatment not included o! I thank God for the paramedics who broke it down for me. I ended up taking a cab to the hospital and was charged circa $700 for one hour on a hospital bed and an injection... Lesson learned! |
