Bossman: Yes it was seamless, glad it wasn't just me that had a smooth process. I also contacted the chat agent on the portal around 11pm to ask a few questions and not only were they online, they responded with all the info within minutes. I've learnt not to criticize something simply because people say it won't work, it's govt etc. 1 Like 1 Share |

tot:I am guessing yours went well then.. I remember few years back I went to apply for a Nigerian passport at their consulate the website clearly says the passport would be available to collect after or within 7 days, it was different when I turned up personally at the consulate. I was told that it would take atleast 3 months before i could collect, they said they can give me a free visa on my other passport. But strangely when i presented my other passport for the visa after about 3 weeks, they told me to go that they will call me. They did call me, (strangely also) the next day said I can come and collect the Nigerian passport i applied for that it is ready to collect rather than a visa they gave me a new Nigerian passport did they print the passport in less than one day? Though it was supposed to take 3 months. Maybe because i threatned to sue... ever since i don't take them serious anymore. 2 Likes |

Looool funny people...why not use their names, when this Bubu government start caring about privacy - if you check, those numbers belong to dead people, or don't belong to anyone at all. You can't enter Nigeria without showing a negative test result, well, except you are big man in government or the private sector. |

oshonwambada: So between that paltry amount and the money the government would have realize from affected individuals (especially frequent travelers) within a 6-month period, which would be greater? We should learn to respect our sovereignty, same way we respect that of other countries. It is better the government collect from us to do the right thing (protect citizens) than being irresponsible. Meanwhile, we all berated the government last year with all sort of name-calling for been so careless on the COVID-19 Issue, especially with their poor handling of returnees. They took the scolding (though late as a number of lives including VIPs were already lost), and later put measures in place to ensure the general safety of Nigerians. Now, the same set of people being protected (Nigerians) are complaining, again. Worst, disobeying and putting other people's lives at risk. Let's check ourselves o |

erico2k2:Really? 42k isn't bad, my mate said he paid 90k from ABJ to owerri, (Air peace) I doubt that though. Okay, I ve never booked online after I did once, i think it was with Air peace, and the flght was cancelled twice that day. I had to travel by road eventually. they couldn't even refund me, what they gave me was a slip to enable me book a return from any local Airport when returning, (they exchanged for a return). Ever since i stopped booking online. So what is this story that touches? |

gypsey: Hahaha! Can you imagine, 3 months for what exactly?! Nigerian consulates abroad are hit or miss, sometimes they will cooperate, other times they can be a nightmare, lol. Your threat to sue can also be part of what gingered them. |
Re: Nigeria Imposes 6-Month Travel Ban On 100 COVID-19 Regulation Defaulters by Nobody: 11:32am On Jan 04, 2021 |
tot:oh! I met some Nigerians who has actually waited for more than 3 months. Some of them were ready to bribe the staffs.. there was a long queue of Nigerians begging, crying some were cursing, shouting, aguing in anger, it was chaotic. When i got there they called me into an office gave me the passport and told me to go through the back door as that their main reception area is too crowdy. some nigerians who have been waiting for more than 3 months rushed up to me outside asking how i did it, if i knew any top official at the consulate? I said NO! I believe it must have been my threat to sue, because their website was giving out wrong informations, they were quick to take my money, No where on their website did it state that passport collections would take 3 months (I wouldn't have applied and paid if it did). And no clear explainations on why the 3 months delay, what they said was that they ran out of booklets, I mean, how da hell is that my problem? okay, if that was the case, why take my money if they cannot provide the services? I accused them of fraud. It is like a shoe shop taking a debit card payment from a customer online knowing that they have no shoes in stock. Even though their website says they have shoes in stock. |
