I understand how frustrating it is to be separated from our families for so long. I'm hoping that these guys reconsider and process our applications as soon as possible.

However, I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the here, and we came to the conclusion that we could form a Whatsapp group and have real-time discussions, as well as share important information.

In this group, we can talk about and suggest ways to possibly reach out to people in positions of power (Senate, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc.), either in writing or over the phone. I believe we can use this to air our grievances while also appealing to those in charge.

Guys, wetin una think about this ?

How can we address this issue? Is there a way we can reach the Senate or anyone in power to address this disheartening situation? How can they be this wicked to Nigerians.

Honestly, this Irish people do not understand the importance of having one's family around.

I really hope this can get to people in power.

Guys, I had to actually go to the Irish Immigration website to confirm the processing time for the following categories of Family Visas:

1. non EEA family member
For this category of family visa, it is stated that you can expect that your application will be dealt with within 12 months of receipt of all required documentation. Please see: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to--family-in-ireland/ing-a-non-eea-non-swiss-national/-non-eea-family-member/


2. ing an Irish national
For this category of family visa, you can expect that you application will be dealt with within 6 months of receipt of all required documentation Please see: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to--family-in-ireland/ing-an-irish-national/-family-visa/#long

I'm not sure why it takes so long to determine the outcome of a " Family Visa."

In India, it takes 20 working days (https://www.dfa.ie/irish-embassy/india/visas/processing-times-decisions-appeals/) and 10-14 working days in the UK (https://www.dfa.ie/irish-embassy/great-britain/our-services/visas/weekly-decision-report). Why is everything in Africa so difficult? I'm about to begin this application, but the delay is discouraging.

Mrtanji:
Quick question please. does anyone here know anyone who was refused for a visa and if it's not too much trouble why ?

Its getting really close to September now and prices are going up everyday, i'd like to start planning(putting money down for accommodation flights etc) but i'm just worried they might reject me

Are you a pesimmist ?
Why the negative thought ?
Please, be positive always.

skimmy005:
DAVIDO

ARE U SURE ?

The reaction to this issue of rape is not supposed to be based on tribalism and religion.

You guys keep looking for which tribe to push the blame to. This is the problem with Nigerians, every little thing, we go tribalistic and bring religion on board.

The fact is that religion has done more harm than good.

Pls, this is to inform u that the so-called 1TB data will be reduced to 3.5gb by Wednesday as an upgrade is due to take place.

A plot of land with completed building on it for sale at Ikorodu. Interested persons should me on 0803 422 3658.

hugman:

Your qsat don't have problem, rebooting is cause by qsat server
Turn off ur qsat and remove the sim and modern allow it to rest for a minute then turn it on,goto ur avartercamnd and turn it off now you qsat will be working fine

I have done what u said but it is still same, just rebooting and rebooting. I left it for 48hrs before switching it on again. Just displaying "Load" and later reboots

hugman:

Continuous rebooting of qsat decoder is cause when the server is down

Solution
Remove your sim to stop the rebooting.
Hope you have the new qsat Q28g firmware?
Pls let me know when your qsat Q28g start rebooting continously isn't since when you bought it or recently

I bought it as a new product and just a week later, started rebooting itself. I removed the 3g modem attached and restarted it again, still same result. I have not done any software upgrade on it. Pls help. Thanks for ur assistance

Hello house, pls I need ur help. I newly bought the Q28g receiver just 7days ago and now it is rebooting repeatedly and LED light is simply displaying "Load".

Pls how can I salvage the receiver's situation?

The way u guys discuss this queen stuff is not too good. A guy even posted his full Qsat avartarcam code.

Everyone should know that watching paytv without a valid subscription is illegal. Therefore, everyone should avoid mentioning channel names here n there. Pls, be aware dat the thieves agents are here to collect vital info which can be used to their own advantage.

A word is enough for the wise.......

Please, take this dude to the African Major Prophet at Ressurrection Praise Ministries in satellite town, Alakija, Lagos. You will be amazed at what the LORD can do through his servant.

A similar case what handled and to God be the glory.

Please, try God's power.
