Twitter user alleges corruption and sharp practices within the Immigration service
Twitter user @segalink made the following allegations and it appears he has proof to back up his claims, because he says a list of guilty officials is being compiled. More tweets after the cut...
This has been the order and it is getting worse. You cannot get or renew your passport in Nigeria without going through a racket or immigration agent except you are Obasanjo or related to Buhari.I stand with @Sega.This is the reason I have not collected my passport in 10 yes because I don't bribe and cannot bribe
....CGIS? Reporting to the CGIS won't help matters.He is part of the whole set up.Can he say he does not know about this syndicated syndrome? Nigeria is doomed honestly.....

The Nigerian immigration services stinks,just like the police & customs.But passport offices nationwide are as putrid as Ojota waste dump! Nigerians are the cause! We bribe to get passports as if it is a ticket to heaven,meanwhile ,the passport dey your wardrobe,no visa to any country inside.Not even Ghana! We just like to boast to our friends " my own came out after 3 days,come make I introduce you to......." Meanwhile,you and your friends are enriching one bastard uniformed man paid to do his job!
I was surprised when I was asked to pay the outrageous amt for Ppt. Even my hubby paid same for renewal. It's so disheartening to see how evil becomes our way of life. Extortion is all I see at immigration offices and they do it with pride. I weep for Nigeria
I have had to cancel my trip because It is taking over a month to renew my international passport, even when I had to pay almost 45k. Nigerian Immigration service is a virus that needs to be checked... from extortion at international airports to harassment of first time travellers, to laziness and arrogance, then bribery etc. No one is willing to attend to you except you part with some cash... this is our reality!
When fayose was advising nigerians not to vote a great grandfather as president, fools like bonario and aboki d warriboy were raining insults on fayose. Who is the fool now. Buhari will go down as the most incompetent leader in d history of nigeria
Shut up joor! Did it all start when Buhari became presidinent? I can't believe any sensible young person would be listening to a man with psychosis like Fayose.is that one a normal human being?
It's not only the immigration. What of FRSC?? I applied for drivers license since last year and they're yet to give me the permanent card till today. What a country.
30k is small nah,they collected 170k from my hubby at Abuja for their so called VIP and express job and 4months after no passport. They keep telling on story after another.same issue with my brother in Jamaica,he is stranded. Not only immigration, other public offices too,they double, sometimes triple the price and still delay you.we have proof also,in case the guy needs them. Nigeria is doomed.
The Nigeria Immigration service is as corrupt as the Nigeria Police Farce. I was made to pay 35,000 Naira for a passport, they refused to issue a receipt! It is almost impossible to get a passport without bribing an Immigration officer, a friend paid online in March, he only got his passport in June when he had no choice but to bribe an officer. Its a shame.
Hahaha..I paid 50k to renew mine just few months back,immigration office is just racket domain.i was amazed of wat was happening there. Naija no be country abeg.
na today ? that waste of space called nigerian embassy in abudhabi, wen u have to make or renew ur passport u wld b told any and all payment is online but on collection you wld be charged approximately 200dhs (20,000 naira) as processing fees. not to mention they open at 10am and close by 2pm. a timing difference from their advertised wrk hrs. Nigerian civil servants- tufia!
he is not the only one, i had to pay 25k for my son passport as against the official price of 11500, and this is with i beg'. from the gate you will be asigned to an officer, when i insisited on the official price, the lady said ,it seems am not ready to get the passport any time soon.
No be small thing.

ReplyDeleteHere in Malaysia,the Nigeria embassy charges its citizens minimum of 200,000 naira for passport renewal or you are told that the booklet is finished.
