President Jonathan today officially launched and obtained the new 64-page e-passport. According to presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati;
"The new 64-pg e-passport helps frequent travelers, it's gender friendly,
forestalls identity theft, cheaper for the aged and low income
earners, conforms with international best practices."
"Cost of new e-passport for below 18yrs and 60 years and above is
N8,750; change of name as a result of marriage or divorce is also N8,750
"The existing e-passport is 32pp; new one is 64pp but it is strictly for
frequent travelers. Please note, it does not invalidate the 32 pp"
Nice

Insecurity makes every GEJ's achievement like childs play.I just wish he'll read Chimamanda's write up.He may have a good heart with alotta vision but he really needs to have courage too to face evil face to face! Nice one initiative though

ReplyDeleteA passport that discriminates! It's strictly for frequent travellers. Tripe!! Why that colour?
ReplyDelete"We" thank God for foreign passports. A Nigerian passport is good for going into the country.

One thing i ever regret is being a Nigerian. The Nigerian passport has done more harm than good to every average Nigerian out there. If i were to hold a different passport ,very little of my hustle would have been a success, but there is God though. Let the truth be told, this should be the last thing on Mr president's agenda right now.
ReplyDeleteIs a new passport our greatest problem right now?
ReplyDeleteIt may not be for now, but sooner than later it will, so lets embrace it ..!! Still a good dev.
DeleteThe only improvement I'm interested in is scrapping the abuja tripnfor change of name. So frustrating!
ReplyDeleteYes u are right . I spent 3 days in Abuja because of change of name and I live in Lagos. I see no reason why this can't be done in Lagos. The govt should do something about this
DeleteYeah! Dat was d problem has b facing 4 long,if we can start doing changing of name in both lagos & abuja ill b d happiest person on earth. So annoying and scary.linda pls help us do sometin to dis issue if by writting it up 4 dem to no dat many people ar in big fear to go to abuja.dis country is dumb
DeleteSee scammers....who are dey decieving
ReplyDeleteIs that what we need now? Mumu dem. I beg make una bring back our girls oooooooooO.
ReplyDelete⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
You are calling your president mumu, what a pity on you
DeleteIts a welcome idea.
DeleteWhy is this news? Why does the President need to launch such a mundane development?
ReplyDeleteKimmy *****
Thak you GEJ, get rid of the green.The red color looks more sophisticated and modern.
ReplyDeleteMost civilised countries passports are valid for 10 years.I thought that would be corrected. the reason as an adult your facial features do not change so much unlike kids and therefore kids passports are valid for 5 years, That the same way osita chidoka ranted about the new nigerian licence to expire in 3 years without talking about driver education or the need for refreshers for drivers, Expiry is 3 years and thats it, Where things are done properly you would ony need a retest at 65. To many yeye side ways think money motivated people ruling Nigeria, Shame
ReplyDeleteMr GEJ we dont need a 64pp passport or 1000pp passport. What we need is a passport that is valid for 10years so that we dont need to keep paying for a new passport every five years. Besides why should the price of passport for under 18 and over 60 be different from others.
ReplyDeleteHeard
ReplyDeleteI seriously dont understand y everyone considers this a welcome development. Like seriously??? That'll now be counted as one of his achievements. In this day and age??. With all the problems that abound in Nigeria? I weep for Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWe ned d gals# LIB Princess! Pretex4luv@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletewill that make USA give me visa....abeg chemicalx52003@yahoo.com
ReplyDelete#I LOVE MY GEJ.
ReplyDeleteOh GEJ. You take one one step forward then you allow eejiot people dem ruin it. This pictures will only remind people of the murder those murderous duo commiteed earlier his year. Stop associating yourself with walking by curses.
ReplyDeletewhy is it red na? the green colour is ok and fit the country's flag
ReplyDeleteWhy do Nigerian carry more than 4 passport glued together when they travel, just like they carry 4 cellphone, I see them at heathrow airport. So sad....
ReplyDeleteOkay but DAT doesn't change the fact that our passport is useless, we basically need a visa to go to any country even SA!!!!! They should work on that aspect please.
ReplyDeletewhatever
ReplyDeleteis this an achievement?
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
What is it with bring back our girls ...una no get leg to go sambisa forest to go find dem
ReplyDeleteGood idea, but he needs to change Federal Republic of Nigeria to Boko Haram Caliphate.
ReplyDeleteBoko Haram governs half of Nigeria. Boko Haram have immunity from prosecution. They have diplomatic immunity. Thats why the President has refused to send Boko Haram sponsors to the electric chair or guillotine.
I can imagine OBAMA going to launch a new passport or even the south African president. But I guess when achievments are far and in between the president has sufficient time to attend all functions, unbelieveably trivial as they may be. Some of us just can't be swayed by these mediocre stuffs! Its an achievement but seriously the president launching it!!!
ReplyDeleteHope it's a different colour mbong, that green one is so embarrassing to show when coming into nija.
ReplyDeleteok oh...
ReplyDeleteGuys, Do you seek a serious relationship? Try
BV HookUps
how about a 10yr expiration esp when ur embassies are non-functional with virtual workers (never ever pick up or work)... mchewww
ReplyDeleteand what does it mean by doesnt discriminate gender? was the old one doing that? lol...
That's not the issue for now. They should extend the validity period to ten years like other countries!
ReplyDeleteOk o! We don hear.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it red in color?
ReplyDeleteNice development.
ReplyDeleteThey should extend the validity to 10yrs and stop this renewal every 5yrs.
ReplyDeleteThey said the passport will help the average and low income earners. But seriously, do the poor get to travel often?
ReplyDeleteThe question is wat is e- about the passport. it may be good though... i stand to be corrected
ReplyDeleteNa fr linda dem wey shebi vanish frm naija.....
ReplyDelete~@iamJbankz Olamide's PA~
what does the change of e passport get to do with the current situation in the country ,,,,??PGEJ...
ReplyDeleteso all of a sudden we have forgotten what this 2 bastard did to us those that wrote the immigration exam and died has been swept under the carpet as usual NIGERIA I HAIL UNA so what about those vacant space in immigration that they wanted to recruit for them don put in their person or rather sell the slot and we are here condemning e passport what my biz with that no job,no light , no good roads , no security, you go see policeman and you go dey fear even if you ne be criminal police go dey harras anyhow SARS has suddenly become the new soldier wey Nigerians don dey fear anyhow and we sit down doing nothing i am just fed up
