pls, i want to get nigeria passport, can apply with my state id card ?
You don't even need an ID card to apply. All you need is a Local/ government letter of indigeneship and birth certificate.
It's gonna cost you between 22-30k depending on the location of the immigration office.

4. GREEN
Most Muslim countries have green passports. Examples include Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Green is considered to be the favorite color of the Prophet Muhammad, and is a symbol of nature and life. The citizens of several West African countries — for example, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, the Ivory Coast, and Senegal — also have travel documents that are various shades of green. In their case, the color indicates that they belong to ECOWAS (the Economic Community of West African States).

Everything about Nigeria's Nationality has been submerged in Islamic colors and symbols.
From the color of our Passport, the Coat of Arms, the Currency, the National Assembly building, ...just name it, they are all designed to protray Nigeria as an Islamic country, by those Military Dictators of our early days, who are northerners..

Just ask anyone to explain the Coat of Arms of the Nigerian Army to you and you will `laugh, wondering if it was an Islamic Army or that of a SECULAR STATE?

where they have two dominant religion but one religion is always domineering and thereby trickishly imposing symbols and cultures on the entire nation including the neighbouring religion is one of the causes of our backwardness as a country.
Christians and inferiority complex in Nigeria is a major source of backwardness in this country, must you lament on anything that has a similarity with Islamic culture in Nigeria, did you even read the part that the green passport has also been adopted by west African countries as a sign of ecowas membership ...you guyz are just too pained and jealous of Islam in Nigeria, that you won't seize to miss any opportunity to lament,any little similarity you begin to shout islamazation of Nigeria ....your inferiority won't kill you .....what if Muslims begin to protest against the political system in Nigeria or protest against wearing of suits as official wears in Nigeria because they are both from Christian and western civilization.

* and of course Friday too should be added as a resting day too because Nigeria is a state with more than one religion.

It turns out that there are only four primary passport colors in the world, and each country has its own reasons for choosing one of these colors for the cover.

1. RED
This is the most common color. Passports with a red cover are often chosen by countries with a historical or current communist system. Citizens of Slovenia, China, Serbia, Russia, Latvia, Romania, Poland, and Georgia have red passports. Member countries of the European Union, except Croatia, also use passports of burgundy and other shades of red. Countries interested in joining the EU, such as Turkey, Macedonia, and Albania, changed the color of their passports to red a few years ago. The Andean Community of Nations — Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru — also has burgundy passports.
It is either your thread is off point or your heading is just to mislead the public. The question is why then are there just 4 colours used?
Not about the countries using them , but the reason for having 4.


This is probably the reason according to business insider


Passport production is a highly controlled process, and only few companies around the world are doing it," Boghossian said. The cardstock used for passport covers is "usually supplied by a third party" and therefore "only comes in certain colour variations to meet the required standards," he said.Thank you.

Nigeria is not a Muslim country and the passport colour should be changed to pink. Pink is the colour of puzzy and that's all Nigerian leaders are best at.

Go jump into the lagoon with your hatred. Green is Nigerian National colour. If you like change your own passport to white. Nobody cares.

You kids just have a way of twisting information. To say the least, most of you all are actually bereaved of information literacy, that is, the ability to ask the appropriate questions and seek a corresponding answers, finding information, forming opinions, evaluating sources and making decisions that foster successful learning, effective contributors, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

This also includes “knowing when and why you need information, where to find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner.”

If you have the above qualities, that is if you have information literacy, you shouldn't be spewing this nonsense you call a comment, with your deluge of deluded co-travellers giving you 'likes' here and there.

What the OP said about green and some Muslim countries choosing green as their National Travel Passport colour has nothing to do with Nigeria's passport being green. The problem is that your already biased and deluded mind about Muslims and anything Islam would not make you see where the OP mentioned the other reasons, which is
"a symbol of nature and life"
.

My advice to you and your likes is that you should all purge yourself of the bags of prejudices the media has made you carry for a long time.

3.BLACK
The rarest passports are those with black covers. These can be found among the citizens of some African countries — Botswana, Zambia, Burundi, Gabon, Angola, Chad, Congo, Malawi and others. Citizens of New Zealand also have black passport covers, because black is the country’s national color.

Is this black,or blue? cool
