In a statement released today by the NIS Public Relations Officer, Emeka Obua, they said Davido had approached immigration officers at MMIA on the fateful day with the intention of travelling out of the country and presented a US passport number 460918874 issued at Georgia on Dec. 14, 2009 and valid till December 14, 2019.
It explained that the officer that attended to him drew his attention
to the fact that his US passport had no Nigerian visa on it with which
he would have been admitted into the country, and Davido reportedly
responded that he had a Nigerian passport but forgot it at home. Continue...
The statement said,
The NIS stated that the passport was endorsed and the artiste then proceeded on his trip.
The statement said,
“The officer now informed him that he should go and bring the Nigerian passport to convince him that he did not enter Nigeria illegally with a foreign passport without visa. Adeleke started arguing with the officer, who had to refer the case to his superiors and the verdict was that he could not make the trip unless he produced the said Nigerian passport.
“Livid with anger, Adeleke, in company with his bodyguards, started protesting in a disorderly manner, prompting the Comptroller of Immigration in-charge at MMIA to intervene. He advised Adeleke to call his bodyguards to order (caution) and comply with the lawful instruction which would not only erase any doubt as to his immigration status but also establish his claim to dual citizenship.”Davido was said to have left and on the following day produced his Nigerian e-passport with number A02227477 issued at Abuja on August13, 2010 and valid till August 12, 2015.
The NIS stated that the passport was endorsed and the artiste then proceeded on his trip.
The statement added,
“This behaviour of Adeleke is quite unfortunate. One would ordinarily have expected some form of commendation from him for the professional manner the officers, who attended to him, conducted themselves especially in saving him from embarrassment at some international port of entry by ensuring that his passport is endorsed as is the law and practice in Nigeria .
“The intention of this statement is not to to join issues with Mr. Adeleke but to set the facts of the incident, as it happened at MMIA on the said day straight."Source: Punch

BUT!..... immigration officers harrass travellers. True story.
smh.liar liar,nigerans uniform men and bribe.commot for road make super star pass una dey talk big drama
Oh please... all he needed was the passport to enter the country he needed. If you are flying from uk to nigeria... all immigration and check in staff ask for is a nigerian visa or nigerian passport.. he did not need a naija passport to fly to uk.. theywanted money . Hiss
#BringBackOurGirls
After hearing from both sides, i'll urge Davido to comport himself in an orderly manner next time.
********************************
Silly lil cretin trying to flex with bodyguards. He should know he has to travel with both if he doesn't have a nigerian visa on the american passport.
He wouldn't have been able to reenter
the country otherwise.
The officials did their job accordingly & good on them for releasing a statement.
Came out looking foolish. No free passes for you. Daddy or no daddy.

Our Naija entertainers tho.
At least he didn't he say he'll report them to his father,his normal threat.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Honestly, some Nigerian Immigrations officers can piss one off the way they beg for money or if you don't settle them. They even go as far as threatening you that they will make you miss your flight even if all your papers are intact. Even if you give them N500 or N1000, they will tell you it is not enough, like I owe them money. #EXECUTIVE ANNOYING BEGGARS. Government should please tell Nigerian Immigration to stop the harrassment and begging.
Ѕтσяιєѕ.... Their business.
Oh pls! We all know a few coins wud hv made dat Nig passport "valid in absentia" No b d same immigration we knw? D one wey dey wear carton-color uniform? Lmao
Join issues wit him naa, n see hw ur lives will change.
Linda leave dis immigration pple.. they can intimidate sm1.. lyk dey didnt knw hes a nigerian. . They jus wan to clear deir name.. y d passport nos nd dates..Mtchew. .# bring back our gals
Y'all treat Nig citizens like crap n kiss foreign asses....Nig immigration. Y'all let some white folks pass with lotion n other fluids in their hand luggage. N made me pay for lotion n shower gel n perfume (let us buy mineral) Smh.
dis guys are full of it, like we re to believe d crap dis fool wrote. i mean i can imagine davido getting pissed and raising all hell bt to say the Nigeria officers didn't at one point request for money is appalling. we ave all been tru it n we sure know how dis thiefs act.i mean they act like its part of d job to ask u for money n shit, 4 cryin out loud do d blood job ur paid to do. if u cant make do with d salary,sort some business outrather than makinthings hard 4 peeps. As far as am concerned, he can shove this statement far up his arse. emeka obuah, we re nt fools u know.
Abeg the immigration officer wanted money. He was leaving the country, no immigration officer will ask you for a visa or passport you came into the country with when you are leaving the States as long as u have the right travel document for your destination. We know how to frustrate our own. He can even get a visa on his US passport so what's their own...
Abeg free the boy. When you enter the u.s or u.k.noone asks you how you will leave. Our immigration officials are rude, they demand for bribes with impunity. I don't want to narrate the horrible experience I have had on many occasions with them.
Misbehaving as per rich n pampered kid things....expect a counter from davido but me believe immigration dudes
Linda u for blot his passport details na. If punch stupid, u suppose follow stupid ni?
They should swear they didn't ask Davido for money. Long hiss
But why put his passport number up ! It's dats not a bridge of privacy
And that's maturity! No mind Davido, na small piken dey worry am! Wat stops him from rushing home or sending for his local passport once he realised he forgot it?
I knew it. This boy is just too proud
o please. they are just trying to confuse us. there was no need to confirm how he came into the country as he was already in the country. The only thing immigration needed to confirm was his path to the U.S. he had a u.s. passport.that's it. never heard of anyone in the u.S. or nigeria asking anyone to confirm how they came in. so silly
Davido and his behaviour shaa...
Arrogant talentless prick, would he have argued with an American Immigration officer??
very dull idiot who calls himself davido.see as u carry social media expose ur stupidity.hurry hurry to post.who tell you say na the first person wey go court dey win case?
Different stories everyday... Nw we have hrd d truth
Davido mellow joor...what is wrong with u sef...*Amarachi*
Dis guy is razz like wilheminna moses, he went to show himself at d airport, while wilheminna shows her local igbotic self on lib,with her rotten teeth, den she go type "anonyshit" wen her life is shit,I pity d man who puts u at home as a wife, u wud b fighting neighbours everyday nd putting d poor man at risk...oooo now I know y u dnt work,ur bad mouth can't make u keep a job..lol ..iknw u r jobless,come and lick my anus anytime I poo in d toilet..no mata how bad u are,u can also be used as a bad example willy willy,oya go and brush ur teeth and clitoris bfor u reply mi...ewu colombia
wonders shall never end.most people always post things on the media.Davido please do not tarnish your image like baba suwe oooo.you don buy market for immigration place.you think say immigration na Nigerian police.i pity you
This stupid info will not change my view of the NIS.
they are very wicked people, very unprofessional and ill mannered...... I am yet to do a recording of their unlawful harassment of Nigerian first time travelers. I will get my evidence and God willing, Linda will post it for me on LIB
shame on NIS!
even though he have d passport,he just dnt av to be rude. Too much money sumtimes makes one misbehaves. Infact am short of words.
That's their cup of fura de nunu....love davido's songs not his person!
Wow! I feel like they are penalizing him by sharing his passport info. Just coldblooded!
Na so. Not dropping the full story
Seriously i dont knw who to believe i swear......
.
.

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
It is very unprofessional to display his passport numbers to the general public.....so if that was dangote or Adenuga would they have done same? If I were Davido, I ll claim for damages
Such a stupid boy,h
Davido should berra b careful! Or he'll kiss his sowi ass! Te je je.
Such a stupid boy,he tinks he can do anything cos he z Davido.Fuck him
If the narrative is correct, then Davido is wrong to have behaved like he did. I am indeed very happy that the NIS is beginning to stand up to its responsibilities. You cannot tender your US passport in MMIA without showing your Nigerian passport to prove that you did enter the country legally. He was probably expecting them to recognize him based on the fact that he is popular. Story!!!
Nis shut up if he had given u people money u would,nt have requested of his naijia passport.
Abeg who get Blackberry charger? How this one take #Bring Our Girls Back
Am almost certain when he cudn't produce his naija passport they asked him to settle.
And when he refused 2 comply they decided to do d "right" thing & he got furious.
So they r both wrong.
Those airport immigration officials r full of bribery & corruption. They'll be checking ur bag & be using style to beg 4 money.
On d other hand, Davido shudnt be childish &naive he cant get away with that in any other country.
And probably wanted them to let him thru based on recognition.
Case closed. Next....
Linda why are you posting his passport details? Expected you to blur it out.....very sensitive information.
Analytical Observer
God bless u a lot.
That Davido of a Lad is grossly lacking manners.Everyone is out to rubbish our institutions just to score em'selves cheap scores.
Glad u guys made this statement.
I knw one unrepentant element will say he is richer than me.........Monetar,yeah buh my pool of wisdom,he can't measure up.
NIS should go and sit down!!! Wat nonsense! Who doesn't know davido is Nigerian n has dual citizenship! D officer on duty simply brought up d issue to make davido to sort him wit some cash so as not to miss his flight... We know u pple! Mtcheeeeeeeew
Hmm is dis Nigeria...? Big Ups NIS! Am proud.
So mature...
Very impressed!!!
You mean 'breach'
Those guys in uniform can be a pain in the ass tbh!
BASIC BLAZER FOR MEN.
NIS should go na sit down!!!!!!!!! Mtcheeeeeew
Honestly speaking, if you have been through this before you will know how corrupt this immigration officers are. NONE, I mean NONE is exempted. They ar all the same. They asked for money and you refused, you are gone. I went tru same last year dec and the next thing was to giv them money instead of me wasting time to go back home. They ar disgrace to this country. They ar parts of the people killing this country slowly, damaging our identity out there. Shameles people. Liars
Nigerian Immigration, we all know the truth, U want money, fucking corrupt officers.... all of you should roth in Hell both the pregnant ones!!!!
Abeg na lie...u guys blaming davido ar acting like u not nigerians..u don't know what our law enforcement does..i pray make I believe NIS..until u enter their wahala..for ur case them go change am..am sure if davido has tipped the guy 5k..he won't proceed with all this...asking davido how he entered nigeria or illegal entry...who doesn't know davido in nigeria...Abeg make I hear word...I trust my. boy...
The earlier nigeria immgration change deir ways d better 4 dem,dey re alway gud @ asking travellers 4 money body ass holes..............
Yes bcos uv nva travelled out b4. Till wen u do,u wl kw ow bad ds NIS beg 4 money so badly.
They are very correct in asking for his nigerian passport since there is no nigerian visa in his American passport.
It is their duty to find out how he entered the country.

THEY ARE BUNCH OF THIEVES. I ONCE CAME INTO THE COUNTRY AND I SHOWED THEM MY NIGERIAN PASSPORT, D IDIOT WAS ASKING ME THE VISA I WAS USING WHERE I CAME FROM LIKE THAT WAS HIS PROBLEM...AND THEY EVEN ASK ME TO PAY FOR MY USED AND WORN SHOES COS THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM.. I HAVE SEEN THEM INTIMIDATE FIRST TIME TRAVELLERS TOO AND WHEN THEY KNOW YOU'RE IN A HURRY THEY TRY TO DELAY YOU. NO TIME I PASS THRU THEM AND EACH ONE OF THEM DON'T ASK FOR MONEY AND WHY ARE THEY POSTING THE BOIS'S PERSONAL INFORMATIONS ? I REMEMBERED THE FIRST TIME I TRAVELLED TOO. HOW THEY DELAYED ME COS I WON'T GIVE DEM MONEY AFTER CHECKING MA PASSPORT AND EVEN GOT STAMPED. BUNCH OF BASTARDS...
Abeg...Jesus ! When will Nigerians use common sense? What business does the immigration officer have in regards to how he entered the country? Clearly he has entered the country...and he has d proper document leaving the country!!
I hold dual citizenship too and do not have any visa on my British passport..and no they have not asked me how I got to d country!!
Immigration officers are thieves!! If you have ever travelled out of d country ul know!...most pole blaming Davido clearly have not dealt with our airport before ...from d airline staff to immigration..to customs..they are blood suckers!!M

What are the computer records for? I'm sure they could have looked him up. Immigration guys are always trying to collect money.
NIS should go na sit down!!!!!!!!! Mtcheeeeeew
one reason i dislike this boy! Arrogance is a very unattractive trait and no matter hw good his music is, his bad attitude always comes through .. Shame.. Pride comes before a Fall!
Really? Wait till its ur turn. Nonsense
Why do they hv computers then? Dont their records show how he entered the country?
He wudnt try it in other countries cos they wont ask stupid questions.
Our immigration system... sigh!
They should park well abeg....don't they know he is a Nigerian citizen? Didn't the officer see his name or he wants to tell us he doesn't know who Davido is? So which on is visa to prove he didn't enter the country illegally??? How many chinese ppl doing business in Nigeria are here legally? It's when some law enforcement officers want to demand bribe from you they go all official and start forming due process.....mcchheeww
Things Only A Dude With A Small Pee-Pee Says- click my name to read more
They're bastards, aparti oriburuku..# princessa#
Showing his passport numbers to the world is bad practice. Scammers abound. They'll steal his identity.
Nigerians are corrupt! We complain about our leaders, but will cut corners when we get the opportunity.
They won't demand for money frm him and say "sir" each time they ask him questions#princessa#
Shaaaarap,ode...
Even if he did whatever they claim, they are crazy to refused to him travel out to d country (USA)he's holding her passport. That is low level of operation. anyone who has ever had an encounter with Nigeria immigration at airport will agree that they are set of crazy quark jarks.
Best comment right there. The NIS staffs are rude, mean, and jealous. The superior officers will always be in their support, cuz they know about their corrupt operations. That nigga D is a rotten brat.
4get about how he came to nigeria, US passport is all he needs to get out and leave this secluded nigeria. NIS is the dirtiest uniform job in Nigeria. Dont any1 know how those NIS staffs can intimidate some1? Nigeria government officials of d year. That's what they are, cuz corruption and bribe is their motto.
Na so dem dey rush home abi? With the crazy holdup in lagos! U try! Uv prolly not been 2 d airport b4. N I'm sure the dude was even late for boarding already! Celeb tinz!
That's because an American Immigration Officer would know what he or she is saying and won't ever beg for money!!! U can be sure they are strict professionals!
You can be asked to confirm how you came into a country
AA
He can't try that shit here. He would land himself in court for assault
Na 2day? Abegi! Immigration and customs officers are always begging for money! The worst is when you arrive Nigeria and your already hot and sweaty and wondering y u ever returned to the country and then one customs official will now be giving you fake greetings, asking you to open your luggage and will start asking: wetin you bring con for them! I always feel irritated and angry ehn! Hope I don't return to the country anytime soon mehn! I just hope!
That's because an American Immigration Officer would know what he or she is saying and won't ever beg for money!!! U can be sure they are strict professionals!
All the story na way to collect bribe. Na Davido them see make dem go ask Bokoharam for pasport na. Davido is a well known G not a visitor in Nigeria
Na so dem dey rush home abi? With the crazy holdup in lagos! U try! Uv prolly not been 2 d airport b4. N I'm sure the dude was even late for boarding already! Celeb tinz!
See Gobe.
How would he have entered the country illegally if no b d immigration officers allow am b ofcos collected bribe..fuck immigration officers..I was flying frm enugu to singapore on ethiopian airways n dis fraudsters nearly caused me shame simply bcos they can't read my stay permit written in indonesia language even though d dates are just numbers..# believe davido
In the end Davido u are wrong! That's why uve got a PA always ensure u travel with the right documents that way they can't ask u for shit! Don't give them a reason to break the law and u don't act like u haven't travelled b4......... Just take ur damned passports u aren't the first person to fly having dual citizenship.... Okrrrrrr! This time u wrong playa!
nIS is right. I am a dual citizen with UK. When I travel,with nigerian passport back to Nigeriamform UK. uK immigration ask me how I entered UK. I said I am leaving UK now back to nigeria so what does it matter. They said they have the right to ask how I entered even if I am leaving so I produce UK passport and they let me go. David is wrong and howmdidmhe expect to enter back to nigeriamifmthe passport is at home. Grow up.
You are a dumb fuck Bonario. Where has he said so ?
If you have travelled outside the country, you will understand where he is coming from but clearly you've NOT.
Smh. How do some of you people reason ??? You compare case of drug dealer to this huh ? Nigeria immigration are worse than Nigerian police if you care to know..or you are just assume because they seem good ? Beggers !
And exactly.. they just proved his point. Harassment because he didn't give them money. Nobody asks for that shit they are saying, dual citizenship doesn't require all this nonsense and they could have checked their computers. KNOWING NIS if he had given them money and didn't stand for what he believed in...Davido would have gone through. Hungry mofos.
Even though our entertainers think they are larger than life, the Nigerian immigration is bunch of unprofessional and corrupt group. I don't believe this cooked up version at all. After all, we all know what happens amongst them.
I'll do exactly what David did cause this NIS are diots, they always look for a way to collect money from travellers..babiyalas (bergers) that was how they frustrated my frd @ the Lagos airport.. locked her passport in their locker then threaten her to give them 15k or else she will miss her flight for no reason. She had to give them the money before her passport was given to her, they should shut that their gutter mouth already
this is the dafest reply the immigration service could have given. which immigration service asks for the passport you came into the country with when you leaving the country.All that matters is whaat document you have for entry into the intended country you travelling to.
Why did dey put up his passport number on d internet?? Mscheeeeew.. Awon haterz
Abi ooo ooooo. Don't they always ask for money? As if them work money put for ur hand. There is no time we are in Nigeria that they don't beg us for money upon arrival and my husband ALWAYS give to them left to me I won't even drop a cent. Yeye people! Ttttssssswww
Seriously! Some people here don't know dts why they are commending them they probably wanted him him to give them some money awon Ole oshi
I know davido is rude but naija immigration too always task ppl for money at the airport. They did thesame to me too.
OK. Let me get this.
You have dual citizenship eg. Nigeria and USA.
You are coming into Nigeria from USA. You do not need visa. The NIS stamps arrival on your Nigeria passport. Now you want to travel to UK (which you can do and do not need visa with USA passport), what business does NIS have with your Nigeria passport? NIS explanation is balderdash. Emphasis mine!
I bet you have never traveled out of the country. Others you won't be impressed. After dem don beg am for money e nor gree yeye people
I think it is very wrong of them to release his passport details including expiry date. Identity theft is a serious problem worldwide and they are supposed to be vast in data protection limits, unless ofcourse this does not apply in Nigeria.
Secondly, what is the point taking finger print when you can not take it to identify him?
I don't like Davido but I know immigration officers are NOT helpful,will have a sense of victory when they know their actions will affect you. I also sense resentment from them when you are leaving Naija. They are extremely rude and probably could have dealt with things better. The only issue is how did Davido plan to return without his passport unless they post it to him?
It is possible that davido was actually rude to the NIS officials. But truth be told, NIS officials are always harassing people for money. Whether u are going out of the country or into it, they look for avenues to extort people.
It is high they are caught on secret recordings & exposed just like our corrupt police
You are ignorant
Customs
You are ignorant
The truth of the matter is that we (Nigerians) like committing offences & claiming right on it! Davido himself knows he should be carrying two passports anywhere he goes as required by the law of the land, but instead he decides to go with only American Passport, thereby causing commotion @ MMIA! Can Davido harass an Immigration officer of the United States??? We should just learn to respect our country's laws irrespective of our status!!!
ignorant
All dis novel 4 someone u dnt know? (Ooouuch) she's so pained! Asori nwam......I understand wat ur passing tru! Anonimonkey! U'll take ur own life wen ur tired of reading my comments. Buhahahahahahha

Most of u blaming Davido have never used a flight before in ur life! Stop trying to belong on LIB! If u have traveled out of this country by flight before, u wil realize that NIS officers r THIEVES!
E~passport,I don't av 2 carry it along,dey should check deir computer,Davido u re rite
NIS, do u really have to lie on public feeds? Have u not made me miss my flight 2ce because of money? And im not even a celeb so I can just imagine what poor david had to deal with. I have my tabs on y'all, summer break is around d corner and I will get my sweet revenge.
Probably not. Cos an American Immigration officer would know his job. And would not be asking for bribes.
Anon 12.04am, r u joking? What is NIS' business with how I entered the country at the point of leaving? This their explanation is only for people who have no first hand experience with the dogs at the airport. "Oga, u dey leave us? Wetin u go leave for us make we dey chop till u come back na? Assholes.
Ur "pool of wisdom" is extremely shallow, Charles. Travel out of the country first and then come back and comment after. Ewu
Please let's give our officials some respect. They did a professional job in this matter. There are no different rules for different folks. What they requested from him was standard requirement. If you have dual citizenship and you use 2 Passports for your travels, then you must show evidence of your entrance and exit between countries.
I live in Qatar and have both US and Nigerian Passports and was prevented from travelling to Dubai because I went to the airport with only my US Passport, which would have been sufficient to enter both UAE and Qatar. Just as happened to this dude, I had to go back home to retrieve my Nigerian Passport and then travelled on a later flight. I didn't make any troubles on this occasion, because they were right and I was at fault.
Everything is not about money. Let's start respecting those in authority. Rules and policies must be obeyed, no matter who is involved. Let us write from position of knowledge.....please.
You are exposing your ignorant here.immigration is right
NIS should go and sit down joor, they can beg for Africa. I travelled out 2 weeks ago and even after stamping my passport, they still asked for 'nkan weekend'. Seeing as i was hours ahead of my flight i decided to prove sturborn and the chick started making noise. Immediately i picked up my fone and called my Dad who is a Senior military officer, she let me go kiakia. Useless people.

Is true oooo...always begging for money.
Wait oh! Nobody has even asked, how come Davido has a US passport, how manage?
Wait oh! Nobody even asked, how come Davido had a US passport on him, how manage?
Shut the fuck up u jealous stupid muddafucka........u just mad cuz he has made more money than the whole of ur fam put together....
They have no business on how he entered Nigeria! As long as his destination papers are intact; the Nigeria immigration could be so frustrating at times and it hurt how bad we treat our own citizens! Am sure davido has his Nigeria passport on him because he is in fact well travelled, and would know better ! I feel he was in a hurry not to miss his flight and they capitalized on that and wanted money and that alone can make a well behaved person misbehave! And why must they release his passport numbers that is soooooo wrong! Isn't your traveling details meant to be protected? NIS that is very unprofessional!
I can't believe everybody is taking to NIS claims. They already know what this lie can do to them that's why they said they don't want ti join issue with Adeleke. Congrat Davido coz nxt time, they wount try to harass u.
Lol! He dey talk anyhow before?
Lol! Him don talk anyhow before?
I think you father is one of the stupid immigration people..
Boy..... U need to go back to school ASAP!
Fuck al this immigration officers..d last tym one was begging me for money and I told her I didnt av naira..dat I had jux 350naira left..the idiot was asking me if she was a police officer..imagine..she wanted more..I beliv davido jare
Abi o. Why display his details? Awon were . As if he lied about the extortion. Idiots.
Clears throat! There is God o.... #bringbackourgirls
Did u read? There was no Nigerian visa on d passport, the silly child would not have been able to come back to Naija except he now applies for a naija visa in the us. Immigration officers did their job right.
David is not above the law no matter how many bodyguards he travels with.
What does NIS has to say about their officers asking for recharge cards from first time travellers?
We all know that our Immigration officers are all a bunch of rogues. I travel to Nigeria from London quite often and these criminals boldly demand for money. On my last trip in March, I paid over 30,000 else i would've missed my flight.
Please spare us the gist.
I travelled out of Nigeria about 2weeks ago, had a valid work permit for the country I was coming to; NIS officer still insisted I have to see his superior to determine whether or not I would be allowed to leave Nigeria. .. Plus they have like 5 different checks.
RUBBISH!! SO HE THINKS HE IS THE ONly NIGERIAN THAT OWNS AN AMERICAN PASSPORT, WHAT NONSENSE TRYING TO SHOW OFF.

Foolish fool! Read d passage again
Very professional response to the cheap lie Davido told via his published tweet. Lets learn to follow simple rules and regulations.
You couldn't have said it any better. That's just d point!
Shut up idiot, even after d explanations 4m d NIS? Dy won't stop his flight if he had his Nigerian passport n wen he cld nt produce it, he had to wait till d nxt day, besides most of those pple r his fans n wld av accorded him some recognition, n if dy let him off d hook it Is imbeciles lyk u dt will say dy r nt wrkin n givin dm prefrencial teatment
Solary
You will not believe I lust my ePassport in ph and went to their office,they said I will go to abuja to re snap and pay 50k that if I'm going,but if I can't go to abuja I will pay 60k I said better. then I paid the 60k till now I av not getin my epassport back they now say I will go to abuja again that the money I av paid is gone....too bad
Very true. Nigerian immigration officers are the worst you can meet. The day I was travelling, they kept ragging for money like beggars. I had to tell them that since I was travelling with my superiors, they should collect from them. One even went as far as saying he might not be on duty then and even if he was, my superiors would pass the other side as VIP travellers and he won't get anything. I told him that once they pass, he should jump in front of them naa. Very greedy people.
Yes even though davido brags too much but at the same time NIS are looters they keep begging for money at the airport I have had an experience too
If wot Emeka said is true then Davido shudnt hv said wot he said esp since he's d wrong one
A passport number is. Just a number and nothing else. Of what consequence is publishing a US passport number. In the narrative of what happened at the airport. A passport number without any other personal details is nothing and perhaps if you do not know , the US passport has a lot of security details and biometrics. So just rest I beg
I think the NIS did their job well. Some celebrities lack humility.
I just remember leaving Nigeria on a spouse visa and the stupid immigration woman told me that I won't be allowed into Australia because I had less than $500 on me. I just looked at her and said "until u change ur uniform to Australian Immigration service, then I can listen to u". She called me all sort of names but could do nothing cos I boarded very early and was ready to spend 2 hours there with her. Bunch of thieves!
Hnmmmm. It would have been easier for Davido if he had the Nigerian passprt. Nobody would have been shouting on the social media. Really some officers in NIS are corrupt but not all. At least my late dad wasn't. Any immigration officer in the southeast and headquarter can testify to that. But why disclosing his passport details to the world. Haba this is not part of it na. It is his privacy. $£.
Come to think of it, if they didn't ask for money I dn't think davido and his bodyguards would hv caused riot there! They did what was right, those immigration officers are thiefs! Nigeria is so so corrupt and it all over. May God save us
Davido and any other passenger is expected to present his passport on demand by an immigration officer at departure or arrival point. If you are dual citizen you should show your nigerian passport as the basis of legal stay and the US passport in this case as basis for entry at destination. An immigration officer should not be satisfied on presentatioon of US passport as it would not have a valid visa. Regardles dual nationality is a choice therefeore you should have both passports at all times when you depart and arrive Nigeria
Big fnk u anon 11.28pm. I check visa's aswell. Immigration no nofin @ all. Davido was ok 2 board buh Immiagration just wntd money frm em.
They r tifs.....bcos davido didnt tip dem
linda u ve no right to post his passport details....so unprofessional
Davido was right
"How they FRUSTRATES and OBTAINS money", like seriously? You're very fluent when it comes to throwing insults at ONYX GIDEON and other people, but see the nonsense you just typed. Brighter grammar is just #200 you know.
Lets forget about sentiment of Davido being proud or something ,Nigeria Immigration do harass travelers ,thats not a story by now cuz i'm also a victim of it before..they will tell you that if you don't settle us now we will make you to miss your flight..Nigeria government need to look into this ,its getting too much!!
I BELIEVE DEVIDO 120%.MY CHRISMAS VACATION TRIP TO DUBAI CONFIRMED TO ME THAT NIGERIA IMMIGRATION IS CRAP AND LOW. THEY COLLECTED ALL MY MONEY AND WHEN THE NEXT OFFICER ASKED ME FOR MONEY, I GAVE HER THE LAST N200 ON ME ONLY FOR HER TO THROW IT BACK AT ME WITH DISGUST. HER COLLEAGUES TRIED TO PERSUADE HER TO ACCEPT THE N200 BUT LAYE, SHE NO GREE O.
Dunno who to believe but Nigerian immigration can frustrate someone because of tips or whatever they want,the last time i traveled out the same thing happen to me and was really sweating inside their office without AC working..
Story. What Visa will he present when he wants to re-enter Naija? Everyone knows that you have to travel with two passports if you have dual citizenship. Stop endorsing Davido's bad behavior
Idiot, we got the message, ITK
1st nis doesnt have a rite to as davido for a naija p, dey r just bunch of looters, dis same fin happend to my fiancee, he left his naija p at ome and proceeded wif his american p, he was seriously questioned and dey asked him 4 a bribe which he didnt, buh was later freed, if the naija p was as important as anyfin 4 him to travel wif, dey wont av allowed him to go. As davido, sure dey wld av asked him for a particular amount which he cldnt give dem. It sucks! Nis really needs to b checked.
Davido comport yourself with decorum especially in public and Nigerian immigration officers are executive beggars and thieves. Change your ways behave properly ALL OF YOU#
I pray u experience those immigration pple at the port. If u don't giv them money,u r nt going anywhere. They ll frustrate life out of u.
For all those who do not know who these immigration officers are or probably you have not tasted a bit of them,i pray you do because they are miscreants and beggars,once you do not comply with their begging habits they will frustrate your trip!!!
My guess is dat his manner of approach was rude bcos wen I was on my way to d UK two wks ago, d lady on d queue behind me had similar issues but she appealed to dem saying her naija passport was in d bag she checked in and dey let her through. But dat doesn't take away d fact dat dese immigration pple beg too much. I gave one of den 1k and she was upset dat I gave her dat little amt of money. If he was calm dey would have listened.
Immigration is crab, they re useless nd stupid set of human beings..i know of 3nigeria border that enter nd go out of nigeria as they wish nd want. ,
U are a big fool, have you ever traveled before NIS are theives they always ask for dollars from travellers.
Abeg ooo which one we go believeooo? If he was told to bring Niaja passport, they were right but I no say Niaja immigration sometimes dey take bribeooo. For me Davido carry ur two passports anywhere to avoid embrassment...
As an immigration officer. They are right to stop him and ask about his visa or Nigerian passport. It does not mean he should be delayed too late and miss his flight. He was leaving Nigeria, his details should ve been taking and allow him to leave. They have no right to keep him in Nigeria even if he does not have a visa. After all illegal immigrants get deported and in his case he was on his way out.
na wah davido again
rich boy,no let body too catch you.
Anon 8:26. Gbam! I can just imagine myself now, getting up to go to Lagos, grabbing my Nigerian passport WITHOUT a valid UK Visa on it, and on getting to Heathrow, I'll simply say to the UKBA official at Terminal 5 - 'Oh! I'm sorry, but I DO have a British passport with which I entered the UK. ..only that I FORGOT IT AT HOME'!!! Like, seriously??? That is exactly what our dear 'daddy's boy" tried to do and get a slap on the back for. Tomorrow WE are the very same people who will open our mouth to complain 'I don't know what is wrong with this country! " "Nigeria is this!' 'Nigeria is that!' Oh just shut up! THE PEOPLE and their loud-mouth fish-brain mentality, are what is wrong with the country! Come to Heathrow and see how they 'humble' themselves in front of 22-23 year old immigration officials, and talk with small small voice, and you will be so disgusted! Oh, na the same people be dis? Ah! Oga, so you fit talk small small like dis? If na naija, you go dey flex abi???? IDIOTA!
Lol na work of auto correct
so true dey re always beging for money at the airport.
So who is lying?
The immigration staff were wrong. On exiting the country they had no right to turn him back for failure to show his nigerian passport. That difficulty should arise when he tries to return to Nigeria. Sorry sha I feel his pain *sighfornaija*
Passing by....
Immigrations are murder fulkers they are shit, I believed davido i00% who dosent no how uniform men behaves in our country, a driver was shot to death jst bcos of 20naira. So am nt surprise to hear this frm davido. They are all beggers ass holes.
That wz wrong of davido!
~D great anonymous!
English Killer...... jobless hoe...@whilemna moses
For all those who do not know who these immigration officers are or probably you have not tasted a bit of them,i pray you do because they are miscreants and beggars,once you do not comply with their begging habits they will frustrate your trip!!!
lolz!
Chei @ Anonymous 11.53 you really ready to insult that yeye Willy Moses this morning.. I sha agree with you. The girl is beyond annoying, she smells of desperation for the 100K Xmas giveaway...Lol
but really, davido didnt need a nigerian passport since he was going out of the country. immigration just wanna get sometin out of his pocket nii.
I BELIEVE DEVIDO ,is true,i travel from MM always,Nigerian Immigration ask for money like thiefs
Anonymous 6:57 and 7:09. You both are FOOLS. So the imm. Officers should have allowed him travel with a US passport that has no Nigerian' visa?? Or u mean anyone can just go to the airport and say he left his passport @ home? Sure both of you have not left d borders of your parent's rented apartments before.
Nigerian Immigration officers are thieves anything for us. Low life scumbags that know nothing but money. They should try and deny they dont harrass passengers for money and passengers will start filming them as they are harrassing i feel especially sorry for the non nationals that come into the country on my last flight a white dude was telling the immigration officer he didnt hv naira n the immigration officer said dont worry give us dollars SMH
If you are a young person and you travel abroad very often I'm sure you must have experienced some kind of harassment by the Nigerian immigration, it annoying the way they ask you for money, as if they don't get paid for the job they are doing.
SINCERELY I MUST SAY THAT THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH IN DAVIDO'S STORY. LIKE THE SAYING GOES THAT IT IS HE WHO FEELS IT THAT KNOWS IT.
I HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH ALL THESE OUR CORRUPT IMMIGRATION OFFICERS. THEY NEED TO BE CALLED TO ORDER.
EVERY TIME I TRAVEL OUT THAT IS HOW I AM BEING SURCHARGED TO PAY MONEY FOR TRAVELING.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS NIGERIA IS BREEDING CORRUPT CIVIL SERVANTS AND PUBLIC OFFICERS WHICH WE ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT FOR ALL THESE DONKEY YEARS WE ARE STILL TAGGED AS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY.
ALL OF U SAYING DAVIDO IS A SPOILT BRAT GO THERE AND SEE IF YOU WILL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO THE SAME RIDICULE.
NIGERIANS WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE FACTS KINDLY SHUT THE HELL UP AND NOT THROW TANTRUMS BECAUSE OF BAD BELLE. DAVIDO KNOWS WHAT HE IS SAYING. ALL THESE LYING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS THAT HAVE EATEN THE SEED OF CORRUPTION AND THEY WILL ALL PAY\\\\\
You really should be short of words with all these grammar you are blowing...
This dude I have nothing against him u do not even know him one on one but trust me the Nigeria immigration they are lying if u hv traveled through Lagos Air port u will know they like begging for money as if they are not been paid for there job many of them will delay you there until u miss ur flight. The lady that took 120 dollars from me any day I see her will beat her, expect she give me back my money. They do not even accept naira
@ May 11th 1246....."bridge of privacy"??? Come on!
@ May 11, 2014 1146....."bridge of privacy"??? Come on!
I've never travelled out without 'finding something' for the immigration people. If it's not 'mother's day' it's another sly request for money with the ovbious threat of delaying u, until u miss ur flight if u don't comply.
With so many people losing their lives trying to get the same NIS jobs, why are those who have it not more grateful or professional?. Professional beggars.
The head has to be rotten, if the officer are allowed to get away with constantly fleecing EVERYONE who dare to enter their den.
