Finally after seeing this your write up I am AUTHORITATIVELY calling you a liar.

Nigeria Consulate in Atlanta is bad? liar. You are fond of writing stuff on the pages of Nairaland just because you want to write. I have written about the Nigerian House in Atlanta before, and honestly if not for the fact that its says Nigerian. I would not believe that place is run by Nigerians.

My two dealings so far with them(Applied for visa on a Thursday my passport was in the mail Saturday/renewed my Nigerian passport for official purpose and 3 days later I received it) and both times I was there, it was less crowd, less noisy and honestly very well mannered staff.

You are the first I am seeing, ever complaining about them, and again this has led me to believe you have never been there and like your other write UPS wants to FEEL among by claiming something you have never experienced.

Siga: Bro, sorry to hear .... but I dont think you need that doc to drive bro... if you are trying to use it to show your driving experience to earn full G, u dont need it or for lower insurance...Im just curious cos I hardly hear anyone apply for that thing oooo....

Stromae: Last month I had to get an endorsement letter from the Nigerian Embassy in Ottawa, Canada to submit to the Canadian government. The document (Driver's License Endorsement) is quite a common request for the embassy as most adult Nigerians require the document to easily drive in Canada. Unfortunately, the document is a devoid of any significant security feature, making it look like something a person could come up with only using his laptop and standard HP printer.

According to the embassy website it should take a maximum of two weeks to receive the document after applying, but in my case it took a whole month, neverminding all that, the real problem was when I finally received the document my name was misspelled. I failed to understand how my own government could screw up their own citizens name in a document intended for foreigners or at all for that matter. The fact that I submitted my passport Info page, nigeria drivers license, Canadian visa, bank draft paying for it, all documents having my correct name on them, also seems to be irrelevant to them.

I submitted the document to the Canadian government as it was, because I was too upset and frustrated to seek a correction. Rather lettting the Canadian Special Investigations Unit look into the document and contact the embassy concerning its authenticity.

It's just amazing that after all the time I've been in foreign countries I have never had any error made on my documents or information and yet the first time I have to do business with a Nigerian embassy abroad it ends up with a serious blunder. My own country!!

CONSTAINE:

I dont understand you guys,you tarnish the image of your country everywhere you find yourself.Despite you got your document in one month.This is not a topic to gossip about,from the way you talk you are not a Nigerian residence in CANADA,

True dat!
Nigerian Embassy staff, all over, are the worst form of "representation" Nigeria can put forward.

So, lazy, so incompetent, rude, corrupt ....and you can use every bad appellative you can find to describe them.

Some years back, my Passport was about to expire (and the Residency permit on it as well, though the residency permit letter still had about two years to elapse), so l called them that would they extend the "date on the Passport" since it still has a lot of unused pages or should l come for a new one all together?

The Lady suggested that l come for a new one (which l dont mind) but that the "process is booked-up for the next six months"!
I reminded the lady that l dont have six months (it will expire in two months time, which l thought was enough notice?) and maybe they should just endorse this one and we can then think about a new one in due course.

Embassy Lady insisted that l must apply for new one and it wont be available inthe next six months because their is "heavy cue" of six months!

I was so frustrated that l bought a return Ticket to Nigeria, and within Two weeks, l was back to my base with a New Passport!

But hey, dont blame them, l mean these embassy staff.
They are only where they are because maybe one "Oga-at-the Top" is sleeping with her (sexual favor) or as a political favor.
It has nadda to do with qualification and competence.
You cant give what you dont have, right?

Did l hear somebori mention 'Chema Chikwe' and OBJ in the same statement?
Maybe it was my imagination!

Mr knowitall.:

Bro just tell us you just want to comment for commenting sake and you have nothing meaningful to say cause from your comment above you were just full of pride that is why you didn't bother to call back but instead decipated your energy in going to get a Ghanian visa.What a shame on a Nigerian who still come to NL to criticize the Government and still speak as a patroitic citizen in Diaspora.If really the event occurred Which Atlanta Nigerian Embassy are you talking about if i may ask?That is the best Nigerian consulate in the US.That is the only embassy you can apply for a Passport and in some occasion get it same day.People travel from all parts of the country to that place simply because of the high level of competency.I am a regular caller at the Washington DC office and the place seems okay but people still prefare ATL consulate to DC because of how they get things done quickly.

whitecat007: If that is the best Nigeria consulate, then Nigeria is in deep trouble

CrazyMan: Its everywhere bro...Most corpers have bitter experiences in regards to this issue.

The problem Nigeria is facing is a National one...From our leaders at the top, to the common man on the street…we simply can’t get things right that’s why this nation has remained the way it was since 1960.
