Hi all,
Contrary to many expressed opinions here, we got our flight tickets through IOM in naija within 1 week (amazing enh). This may not be the general experience but it also means that it is possible, if you have God working on your case ;D. The lady at the office had actually told my husband that we required at least 3 weeks notice and that getting it within a week was 'impossible', but he persevered and pressed her to at least try. so I encourage anyone pressed for time to not give up but at least give it a try. worst case scenario is that you don't get it, but what if you do?
and to concur with omo naija, we were given change
;D ;D
The IOM process is by far the best option. we paid about 920k for a family of 5, as against the regular airline fare of 1.7M which we were given (and this was the cheapest ticket o). This kinda discount is sure sweet
and the more money you can conserve, the better for you. On top of this, we got free chaperone duty at Germany ;D
;D
I think the problem is the Nigerian element, the boss, boss thing!!! about Nigerians. I believe most times the ticket is ready but they are just going through our usual long protocol in naija. In our case, the ticket had been ready for 2 days (so it only took about 5 days) but they were still telling us it was not ready. We had to press and cajole them to at least call accra to confirm before they reluctantly did and found out it was ready.
So pls dont give up!
