This is a big problem in the country. If corruption here can be tackled, things may actually start looking up for this country.

My ePassport has expired and i decided to renew it and the hell i have been going through can only be understood by God. I paid N30,000 to an officer there thinking it was the normal fee and that i'd have to tip him or sort him later, only to discover that it actually costs N17,500, the foolish officer abandoned me after collecting my money and for more than 3 weeks, i have been trying to get my passport. Apparently, nationwide the booklet for the passport has finished and there is a serious backlog of applicants waiting to collect their passports. I have been going to their office at ikeja everyday since monday just for one passport and nothing. While waiting in line today, a discussion about the whole situation started and i discovered that my own case isn't even that bad, someone paid N45,000 for his passport, another paid N52,000(they were supposed to collect it on the same day) and they have both been waiting since middle of November for their passports. This is really bad. Did anyone expeirence this and please how did you get your passport? i'm going to miss a deadline because of their foolishness
