So now i dont have to insult you, when you change every thing to stereotypes and decieving ignorant ppl.

Nigerian International passport comes out same day.

You shouldn't reach to conclusions you don't know anything about just because you think the number of people who seek for it in a day would be many whereas the fact is that they are not.

Huh?!

Wetin you dey yarn?!

Na by page?!

The expiry date is still the same o! Wether 100 page or not. The last time wey my Passport full (when I was still hussling ECOWAS COuntries), them start to dey stamp anywhere.. Some sef stamp the cover of the passport. grin

Yes, pages are relevant. Some who travels frequently would need more pages. This development is basically targeted to them.

They get 2 passports for just an extra 5k.

Btw, the length of validity of a pass is inversely proportional to the security. Ask visa officers, they would tell you why

I am cool with the validity period to be honest. You dont want a dead Niggas passport to still be in circulation for so long after he is gone.

And I understand targeting the frequent fliers with this new 'bible sized' passport booklet. I just hope this does not invalidate the existing ones sha.

Don't read to reply, read to understand. smiley

I didn't jump into conclusion. I replied based on how I understood your post. You should have clearly asked how much will the Government spend on rolling the new passport out.

I don't think much will be spent by the Government for this new passport since no feature is added to the passport. Same colour, same quality, just additional pages.

mayorall: Currently at immigration office. I was told it will be #30,000 from August 1st. Am getting this at #16,500 Now. Still sitting

Which immigration office is that?
The passport has always been 15k. I think you used the stereotype mentality of going through someone, instead of doing it your self. So na service charge you dey pay grin

Thats a point.

Ofcourse not, old passports are still valid, it's just new ones that would have to get the bible sized parle

I just renewed my epassport last week for 18k. I was told the renewal would have cost 30k if I had come from Aug 1 when issuing of the new passport would commence.

It took 4 working days to get the renewed passport.

you just justified your little mistakes with a bigger stupidity. a simple thank you to the fella would have gone a long way, not this kinda attitude.



@topic,
I'd rather they extend the expiration date instead, for those of us who don't really use it often.

i may be wrong though
an e passport contains an electronic chip in it which stores all ur data,this is the new advanced type of passport which all countries must comply with and change to. Before most countries was using what we called machine readable passport. By increasing the pages it will save ppl time ,especially frequent travellers who have to get a new booklet each time the old one gets full. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometric_passport

Attitude, he implied i didn't read before commenting, you are obviously not reading the trend of this issue, i was not referring to the 20k but the over all cost our govt will claim they used for the whole initiative (knowing how corrupt they are) . What do i have to thank him for? misunderstanding my comment?

Depending on the state, it does.
I got mine within 5 hours of applying for it in Akure.
I didn't have to grease any palm, but it sure does pay to know one or two ogas at the top.

if you can't explain yourself to others in the simplest form, it means you don't know what you are saying. wether you perused through or not ,either ways you still sound confused.

don't take it personal. I'm not getting on you, but lines. cool
