The Shame Called Nigerian Embassy In Johannesburg, SA by madejibo: 3:16am On Sep 02, 2015 |
Yesterday: Now getting frustrated: A friend of mine in Cape Town wants to convert his Nigerian Driver's license to South African Driver's license. The process entails the holder of the Nigerian driver's license to take his license to the SA traffic department and apply for SA's license. The SA traffic department will now email the Nigerian Embassy to confirm if the license the applicant has tendered is real. This is where the wahala starts. My friend followed this process and the SA traffic dept sent a mail to cg@nigeria.co.za for verification since June and up to date no response by the Nigerian Embassy. I was at the embassy (in Ilovo, Johannesburg) two weeks ago I met a very rude embassy official Femi and he went inside claiming that the person in charge said no email was received. I conveyed this to my friend in cape town and he went back to SA Traffic Dept and the officials sent another email on the 24th of August to Nigerian Embassy, yet no reply. Today 1st of September 2015, I got here at 9 am, I met Femi again he said the woman in charge of such issue hasn't come to work, this is 12 noon SA time she is still not at work, and the embassy closes at 1 pm. There is a woman here, her passport is missing she has applied since 3 months ago, no response, nothing. She is in tears and can't write exams and all yet the embassy staff are not bothered. Please repost this. I am still at the embassy am waiting for them to chase me out at 1pm Today: Still on my visit to the Nigerian Consulate in Ilovo, Sandton, Johannesburg. (I initially posted a story yesterday) I finally left the Consulate at about 1:40pm yesterday, without any solution to the problem, I was told the woman that checks emails, Mrs Obidi is not in the office (in other words, she didn't come to work yesterday) so every one that had similar issues will have to come back another day. Some people came from Cape Town (cape town is about 20hours by road to Johannesburg or 2 hours by flight), some came from neighboring Southern African countries like Swaziland and Lesotho. While in the Consulate, the only two members of staff that you are allowed to see are Femi and Ifeanyi. These two guys are corruption personified. I have heard about Femi since my days in cape town, he only attends to people that offer him money, you don't need a sting operation to confirm this. For people who wants to apply for passports, after paying the recommended fees online, you proceed to submit your application to Femi with R120 cash. This R120 cash is not stated anywhere on the website, you don't get any receipt for this R120. Then Femi will tell you if you want your passport application to be attended to you have to pay R2000 (roughly 30,000 Naira). One interesting thing is if your passport gets missing in SA, you can't get a replacement in SA, they tell such a person to go to Abuja. They can only issue such a person an emergency travel certificate. They can only assist you if that missing passport was printed in SA. They can also assist if you are ready to bribe heavily. Visas are granted easily to foreigners with little or no questioning, with little or no paper work. Visas are granted and issued on the spot, depending on how much you pay. This is very worrisome. Only visa applicants are allowed to pass through Femi and Ifeanyi. I once passed through Femi and Ifeanyi just to see what happens at the visa application center and I was shocked! Please friends share these around till authorities see this. I am ready to go to any length to defend this, please don't hesitate to quote my name if need be. For now am a resident of Johannesburg, South Africa. 140 Likes 49 Shares |

@op, its sickening how nigerians are treated by fellow nigerians that work at d consulate. I was also at the consulate in illovo sandton on the 18th of august for capturing cus I'm renewing my passport. People that captured before me,some were told to come back the next day to receive their new passport and us(I refused to bribe anyone)were given the date of 23 september for collection. I also asked them why we had to 120rand extra bcus there is nothing like that on their website,it was only one response that I got, u either pay d 120 and get a receipt or u won't be attended to. This one guy came all the way from mozambique bcus nigerian embassy in maputo does not do passport renewal. What a shame. Meanwhile u see foreigners get in and 5minutes later they r out. Even anytime I visit nigeria u see those with foreign passports get their passports stamped with d entry stamp as soon as they join their own queue but those with naija passport r asked silly questions. Thing is they intentionally make d normal process very difficult just to get u to bribe them. It will be just over 3months before I get my passport since d day I submitted my application but if they wanted they can issue u with a passport in less than a day. Which way nigeria/nigerians. 50 Likes 5 Shares |

My brother, you're right. This is why Buhari is out to kill corruption and I believe he is on the right track. I and most well meaning Nigerians are behind him on this war against if he will not spare "the sacred cows". I'll help spread your message because I've been a victim of corruption in the past. 11 Likes |

Can't anybody set those guys up? Can't anyone contact a lawyer to find out the sort of evidence that will be required to pin those guys down? Can't a scape goat be made of those two fools? Femi and ifeanyi! Guys from those two tribes are all round the world exporting their dubious characters. 6 Likes 1 Share |

madejibo: Sorry, but that's typical of Nigeria. It's like that everywhere. In Malaysia, Indonesia, India, everywhere!. Even at Seme border going to neighboring Benin republic, it's the same. Our immigration and customs give priority to foreigners (mostly white people) than Nigerians. Foreigners go without paying a kobo, but once you're a fellow Nigerian you'll be humiliated and be required to part with some money. Problem is we don't have a strong sense of nationalism in Nigeria, instead we have ethnic identity. Even our leaders don't believe in Nigeria in their hearts. I'm sure you must have heard of political appointments going to a particular part of the country, only. And people are complaining from other ethnic groups. 17 Likes 3 Shares |
