ReplyDeleteThey should refund our 20b dollars dt dey stole instead of increasing pasport charges and other charges. Nothing in Nigeria will ever decrease in prize or charges.
ReplyDeleteOur governments are like zomby without conscience.

ReplyDeleteStory! Backyard price has increased den!
ReplyDeleteSee thief dem o. Na how much be the passport before? Mtchew. Abeg e dis one dem no get anything talk about
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteIf people choose to pay more than the official passport price to some immigration official so that you can get your passport faster/get two passports with different names/etc, that's your decision. Don't think its fair for you to add that 'we all know how much we paid' bit because no one will FORCE you to pay more than the official price unless you ask how you can facilitate the process.
We can't keep contributing to the problems in Nigeria by refusing to follow due process and then blame 'the Government'. Just think, if no one paid bribes, no one would expect to be paid bribes. If no one jumped ahead of the line, those that had been standing in line wouldn't have to wait as long. If people didn't turn 2 lane traffic into 6 lanes, the 2 lanes would move along faster. Let's do better people- be the change you want to see!!
I have never commented on LIB but I have to agree with you! This truth is what is holding us back, BH not politicians. if we want change we should be the change
DeleteFederal government all they know is increasing money #bright bravo#

ReplyDeleteThey should also increase the validity period of the passport. Going through the hassle every 5yrs makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteand this bastard man wants to run again in 2015? Anyone who votes for him should know that they are the cause of Nigeria's problems. he's looking for a 2nd term and things are this bad, what happend when he knows he's not going to run again? is this what we need at this time? what justifies this increase? i'm sick and tired of Nigeria!!! i would have relocated since, but my family doesn't want to move.

I won't render any more curses on these bastards because I'm sure they have more than enough on their heads and 10 generations to come. I paid about 16K for my passport in Lagos only for the chip to malfunction after a year and a half. I was actually at immigration when it was discovered and it wouldn't scan. Only for them to try and embarrass me by taking me to a room to interrogate me like a common criminal, on how I obtained my passport. Knowing fully well that a lot of people had been experiencing this. Note that this was a passport I had used to travel in and out of Nigeria a few days prior (2 and 10 days respectively). The passport was siezed and I eventually ended up having to go to Abuja where I paid 30K "express" fee to have a new one reissued because I needed to travel urgently! No one responsible for my travel expenses to/fro Lagos-Abuja, or rebooking fee for my internatinal flight or change in my hotel reservation or anything else. No apology! I'm even thankful because my case could have been worse, as I met other people in Abuja who were from different parts of the world who just came on holiday/work to Nigeria that experienced this...some had their jobs on the line where they were returning to. All because the contract for these new biometric passports was issued to some incompetent fool! And now these bastards have the nerve to increase the fee...by 50%??! The hearts of wicked men. E never pain us reach sha, if not....
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of everything that's going on in this country. Always stealing form Nigerians one way or the other. That's how the road safety guy changed the plates nos and driving licences. Now this! Smh and Jona is still condenming and not performing.

ReplyDeleteNaija 4life.......FG.
ReplyDeleteThe House is on fire, this dudes are busy chasing rats...
ReplyDeleteY the increment? Of what use is it? Which way Nigeria? Are there no organizations that puts checks on all these things? Why do we have to go to passport office in Abuja to do change of name or to retrieve passport if it's missing? It does not make any sense. So many things we need talk about. So many things that needs change. Immigration/ passport office can't just put all their equipment in Abuja knowing quite well that d roads are not safe and by air is not better.
ReplyDeleteYeye Country ...While would a person born in the Federal republic of Nigeria , whose parents are Full citizens Pay 2 acquire a passport.
ReplyDeleteThat same country na 20 Billion Dollars 4 mix.. Moni wen go Repair Nigeria .. I mean the full Nigeria OOO.

ReplyDeletehmmm Now that official fee is 10K it means the actual price to pay for a passport will be between 20K to 28K.
ReplyDeleteNothing works in Naija. Passport documents are 'manufactured right around the passport office.thus we have foreigner with Naija passport claiming state of origin Adamawa,Kogi, etc. !!!! - Concerned Citizen!!!

ReplyDeleteFellow Nigerians, if you can read this you sure know you are Lucky to be breathing. I woke up this morning to read about another set of 43 school children slaughtered by Boko Haram making the death toll in Yobe and Borno to 200 this year alone. If our Government are incompetent and not proactive enough it is because we are too quite as a people. If a part of our country is taken over by insurgents and Our military have less information and weapons to combat them, what happens when the whole Country is under attack!I charge you all to put every other thing aside and let us LOUD, DISCUSS this killings till #BornoMassacre #YobeMassacre is well taaken care of by our government. Let us promo it like that davido-Aye ,Dr Sid-surulere or wiz kid- caro, as popular as those shows and events. Let our PM,DP FB status,Twitter and IG carry this Hash Tag(#BornoMassacre/#YobeMassacre. Let's make this government end this inhuman acts at all cost. Let them know we are unhappy.We know Corruption has eaten too deep into our system but we must not let the act of terror prevail too. Let stop this killings first and deal with other issues as current affairs. Remember, the time is always right to do right. War anywhere(North) is a threat to peace elsewhere(other part of Nigeria)Together we can push the government to Stop this despicable act. #BornoMassacre #YobeMassacre Please RE BC....may God guild us.Amen
ReplyDeleteDi ole.
ReplyDeleteThe truth of the matter is government in government out, things will continue this way,prices of various goods n services will go higher and citizens will be milked dry until we take destiny into our hands and OCCUPY NIGERIA.
ReplyDeleteOur leaders have taken us for granted and labeled us as fools.
why pay more for this worthless piece of trash? Why is the Nigerian passport only valid for 5 years. My American passport is valid for 10 years & does not cost as much
ReplyDeleteWhy pay more for this worthless trash? Why is the passport only good for 5years? My American passport is good for 10years and does not cost this much
ReplyDeleteBunch of morons, they collected $30 from me at the Consulate in D.C to mail the passport to me in Texas once it was processed. All of a sudden it was only cash they collected for mailing passports, all of a sudden nobody had change after handing $40 cash, all of a sudden passport arrives at home in Texas with $5.62 receipt from post office on it. Whoever is pocketing the balance from this mail back scam, I sha hope they will pay tithe and offering out of it too. 9ja we too much as a people from Abuja to Washington D.C we can't change.
ReplyDeleteLinda,the wait for LOST cases is now 6 MONTHS o.I'm in abuja now to get a new one cos I lost my passport and that is wat they're telling me. Incredulous! Wat kind of country is this?? We seem to be regressing rather than progressing. Where in the world does one wait 6 months after having lost their passport?? Ridiculous! Rubbish!! Shame on those lawmakers that are hellbent on making the lives off their citizens worse rather than better.
ReplyDeleteYinmu....in 2005 sef,I paid more than 15k to get my passport ,and when I renewed it,it was more than 30k....stop deceiving urselves by putting dis up... Abi nw dt its been increased by 50%,how much dem cum dey pay b4...Rubbish govt. Awon werey.

ReplyDeleteWith a large pool of persons waiting in line for Enrollment, that is the process of entering individual information on the system, which I suppose was a core reason why there had to be an online registration in the first place, the passport office in its undermining role had only two old computers for over a hundred files, and a crippling snail like internet service that should supposedly be the best in the country. While for the Capturing Process, the same two old like computers, when there should have been at least seven brand new latest versions of Apple or Dell computers for the capturing purpose to speed up and facilitate a smooth issuing process, complemented with a safety risk (in case of a fire outbreak) of piled up files at the two ends of the corridors, not to mention other room-full of those needless papers. The point is, when one considers the problems crippling the system and the e-passport issuing process, which shouldn’t take more than fifteen minutes of ones time, one then wonders why the government incessantly fails to come up with effective measures to improve the passport service of the Nigeria Immigration Service, but dares to come up with reforms that causes more hardship and less comfort for most Nigerians. Obviously, the minister of the federal ministry of Interior, Abba Moro is bent on generating more money for himself or someone in the corridors of power, and hasn’t learned any lessons from his act of impunity in the death of some innocent Nigerians during the immigration recruitment exercise in March 2014. Therefore, suffice it to say that, if as the president has said in his speech on the launching of the new 64 page e-passport; “Visitors that come into the country have different impressions about our immigration officers, so they must improve; they are the image of this country. How they handle visitors matters so much, if they conduct themselves poorly, it reflects on all of us.” It is also paramount that Nigerians at home are treated with respect, and given the necessary and best support in obtaining any desired services from the Nigeria Immigration Service, or any other government, private or public institution. Anything less than this would reflect poorly on the country’s image regardless of how well Immigration personnel’s put up improved performances to deceive foreigners on its dysfunctional system, that got a young man at the Kaduna passport office screaming at the top of his voice that “common Ghana’s passport services is more efficient than Nigeria’s.” I add; we must improve on what is presently available, like improving the Nigeria police force than agitating for State police. As it is overly necessary that the system is overhauled to get it more functional, effective and productive, than the introduction of political moves or reforms that doesn’t in anyway improve the system and lives of the common man, or average Nigerian.
