For me, I have never had to hide my Nigerian passport. Infact it seems nobody here in my part of Europe cares. They will look at you suspiciously anyway because you are black.

If i no flunt am na which one i go flaunt. If you are scared of showing your passport they will make it harder for you but if you brought it out and flaunt it like tomorrow no dey dem go park well. Moreover i have never been harassed due to my Nigerian passport and never will and it also depends on ow you package yourself

Neither flaunt or hide.Its a passport I.e document that you use for travelling.That said I am the only who still uses a Nigerian passport in my house (keep procrastinating on doing my naturalisation.am just not bothered except dem go give me 1M pounds with the red kpali ) but my hubby is on my case that its embarrasing and annoying for them to have cleared immigration and customs and still be waiting for me. :DThese waits are like 40 mins to 1 hr.They have said no more travelling with me if I dont do my red passport.

THAT is the only reason I would get my naturalisation done.If not am not fussed.I can do most things with my ILR anyway

Are we not the people causing disrespect and manhandling for ourselves?
We need to change. Honestly, I get angry at what many of us do outside here.
What else do we expect from the international community?

Anyway, OP, I do not hide my Naija Ppt. I flaunt it.

I think only GEJ and Dame will flaunt Nigeria PP. I dont think any Nigerian especially young men below 40 will ever try it.
Green passport is scary, Nigeria = green, Pakistan = green. all high risk country.

You enjoying torturing your family 45mins -1 hour wait? What happens when yous are traveling to other developed countries??I know the red passport carriers are eligible for the visa waiver program in some countries, so what happens with you? You apply for visa ? I did that a few times until hubby got mad

I've never had cause to hide my passport neither do i flaunt it unnecessarily. To what purpose? I present it only when i have to & let my grammar whilst flashing a set of pearly whites do the rest

Enemies of progress. All them people talking about flaunting their green passport are only saying it cos they are nowhere near acquiring foreign passports na today

Since when did having a foreign passport become an achievement in life?

And you wonder why people fail JAMB and WAEC? How does your question relate to my post in anyway?

I will answer you tough, it shows that a developed country have found you worthy enough to represent them not minding your color, nationality or the Terrible country you come from.

Obama's citizenship made way for him

Hmmnn, all the she-nairalanders I thought were single

First black woman to be a minister in Italy, she made news and re-wrrote history. A Congolese and Italian citizen. Her foreign citizenship gave her ^^^^^ that

We have the likes of @callotti, traveling from one country to the other and not stressing.

Make I hear word, how many Nigerian citizens can go into politics? Nansense

Ileke this is serious matter o. An experience with customs whilst traveling on your Nigerian passport is the best teacher. Just travel to Ekiti with your Nigerian passport and tell me your experience the minute you land JFK.

I have this feeling they have stored the color of our passport in their heads, when you are walking up to them with your green passport, the way they squeeze their faces will make you wanno turn back, but fly with your foreign passport and watch them start shining their 21 teeth from 5 miles away

Most of it is in your mind. Answer the questions they ask and move on.

Is this the legendary Akin Alabi I know or another one?

Jarus: Indifferent.

But it appears those airport/immigration officers see Nigerian passport with special interest//attraction. Was in Amsterdam early May en route Edinburgh, when one Dutch officer, on sighting my passport, retorted: "people that carry this passport normally transit in early flights, your people have passed, how come you're just going with afternoon connection" (words to that effect), meaning he took special interest in Nigerian passport.

And you answered the question and moved on i'm sure. That's the spirit.

Looks like some people here have already developed a complex and just because they got asked a few questions. They hide their passports because of that.

Shame.

Did you read the article in that link you posted at all?

Since then, she has been the subject of taunts on far-right websites, which have branded her with names such as "Congolese monkey", "Zulu" and "the black anti-Italian". She also faced race-tinged insults from Mario Borghezio, a European parliament member of the pro-devolution Northern League, which has been allied in the past with former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. In reference to Kyenge, Borghezio called Letta's
coalition a "bonga bonga government" - a play on

you too are not exempted from those insults as long as your skin remians black, foreign passport or not.

The only airport I ever faced problem is Murtala International Airport. We are the problem of ourselves.

I am yet to see that country that will ridicule me because of my green P. No need of hiding it

collynzo2: Did you read the article in that link you posted at all?

Yes I read the article. Of course I am not exempted from the insults, why should I be? Even OBAMA saw hell and is still seeing hell but it didn't stop him from coming back for second term or stopped him from being the president of the "worlds number one country".

I have my Yoruba brothers hating on igbos and vice versa, I have boko haram killing innocent Christians cos they refused to convert to Islam. How many of us have made mockery of our president GEJ? Woke Soyinka and late Achebe (icons) also had issues with each other

So even Nigerians are not safe in Nigeria

Yes a black woman made a minister in Italy, she was chosen by the Italians in Italy seeing that she is the first black ever. They will always be people who hate and people who encourage, appreciate, and are grateful for the foreign talents they are blessed with
