Prof Corruption: NY office is a fraud too. Atlanta? Don't even go there! They are all the same.

A-town:


I think the main issue is why do we Nigerians expect excellent service when we know we don't deserve it.
Our orientation is the problem. We do not like to do things the right way, yet we expect that when other Nigerians are in "positions of trust" that they will suddenly "forget" they are Nigerians and start behaving well.

Until we change our attitude nothing will change. If you as a Nigerian keep giving bribe, there will always be "bribe giver and takers"
If as a Nigerian, you keep rewarding incompetence, you will keep receiving incompetent service
Do you really expect people who don't give a damn about their duties to suddenly "change" because they are in another country? Especially when they have to render service to the same type of Nigerians who do the exact same thing they do?

If they would do the same thing in Nigeria, then you expecting them to change in another country is wishful thinking.
If we want anything to change, it has to start from Nigeria. If people are treated the same way in Nigeria, why do you expect it to change. Because they are in Canada?

delors:
in other words, the decadence is a welcome act that should be condoned and wholeheartedly embraced? I dont seem to follow your point. So, the best way to solve the problem is to continue with this non-challant attitude or go to nursery school to start teaching the kids moral studies? Change starts from you and me, true, and it starts now. Its a mental corruption. More is expected from people in positions of trust, thats why they are there. What exactly would it have cost who ever is in charge of public relations to post a single line on the website that the embassy would be closed for the following days? What? It is a case of unprofessionalism, mental poverty, mental corruption and the Nigerian-factor. Ordinarily, you try that as a canadian ministry, you pay millions in damages in lawsuit. But who is gonna sue who in this case? SMH Even the crying girl who just lost her $300 has no one to run to...its a shame. A big one.

payless: Sad indeed! I have seen it all in the U.S too. They behave like animals when you go to Nigerian embassies in the U.S and Canada. My sister in Canada went from Ontario to Ottawa four times before she got her passport renewed.

My friend went for appointment in Atlanta, Georgia for an appointment but when he got there there was no one to attend to him. He met Nigerians at the embassy drinking beer like it is beer parlor. [size=20pt]They also invited him to join them. [/size]

There was also a case of a Nigerian in Washington D.C who sent his passport for renewal but when they sent a passport back, it was someone else American passport that was snet to him with Nigerian visa on it.

Nigeria is a mess from top to the bottom. The country needs a shake down, home and abroad.

Siga: This is so embarrassing and sad.... When will things change?


i paid 41pounds to NHC in london to renew my passport , and on their website its says 20pounds, so i rang up, the guy that answered the phone was so unprofessional; the conservation went like these

pDude: Watching this, tears welled in my eyes.

Nigeria is really cursed, within and without.

Like I said, as soon as I can I am burning that green passport as soon as I am able to.

Is this not interesting? "The high commission staff explained that they don't know how to operate the computer that makes passports and visas". I wonder how they still have a job.

ronnietilo: Best thing is to fly to Nigeria if you can to sort things out. Nigerian Embassy in Canada is a shame

saxywale: I ave heard that it's also difficult to get a Nigerian visa cos they expect applicants to bribe them.
Getting the passport is easier in Nigeria, just part with 18k and your passport is ready in three days!
