Emirates wishes Mikel happy 35years.
Good.i m sure money wil flow in also …..
Some guys are playing in the real Emirate in the middle east …they wil pay fines not because of their mistake but because they can’t access passport renewal to update their visa.after they paid the real amount to govt purse for 2 months now. As a result they are on overstay . Fine per day is 16000 naira and so many ve up to 100days overstay because no international passport is available at the Nigerian embassy in Abu Dhabi ..the Liberian passport is a week to access also Ghana and some other nationality.but Nigeria u wil see heaven before u get it a footballer told me.
@shehu .if I tell u wat I know about this thing u just talked about u wil be crying for Nigerian in middle east . A guy was going to collect his international passport which he did capturing in December 2021 and his visa expires in February 2022 on his way he was stopped by kelebe … Rest is history. He is in prison as I am talking.he paid 700 diram that is over 100000naira.yet immigration wil never know this.
