Why not go for Biafra passport, it can take you to 78 villages in the East. Apply now at Unwazurieke Office at Ajijedidun Street off Agunlejika street Ijeshatedo Lagos.

Please get your facts before you post them, some of your facts are false. Singapore and Japan holds the most powerful passport in the world and the number of countries accessible is 180
Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, and South Korea are number 3 with access to 178 countries.

For budding travelers, holding their first passport is wonderful. It offers a sense of possibility and excitement. It turns out that there are a lot of other things to know about passports right now. I highlight a list of 10 facts you may not know about a passport.

Your passport is not necessarily valid until the expiration date

Many countries require you to have a valid passport for up to six months after you arrive which means you can never travel up until the expiration date. The requirement is in place to ensure your passport doesn’t expire while you are traveling.

Nicaraguan passports are among the hardest to forge 

With no fewer than 89 security features, including ‘bio-dimensional barcodes’, holograms and watermarks, the Nicaraguan passport is among the hardest documents in the world to forge.

Getting a visa may take more time than you think.

Applying for a visa can be among the most complicated document transactions you will ever encounter. Many countries have multiple types, including tourist, work, business and student visas, and the application process and turnaround times can vary dramatically for each.


Sweden is the home of the world’s most powerful passport

The most desirable passport belongs to the Swedes. Impressively, it costs just $43 and gets you into 174 countries without a visa.

Many passports have cool secret features.

Many passports in the world today have security features to prevent them from being replicated. The new Norwegian passport — the design of which was chosen from a public competition — shows the northern lights when you put it under a UV light. And the U.S. passport has some 30 different security features.

the above is certainly NOT true, the best passport in the world (that would get you in most countries visa free) is the Singapore one.... Swedish passport isnt even the best in Europe, the best in Europe is the German one.

Quite informative.
Swedish passport, so desirable

Singapore has taken over already. German passport is even way ahead now.

Any European Union/EEA passport is better than Singapore passport though. It is not just about travelling visa free. Unless you're a profesional tourist paid to review tourist resorts worldwide.

EU/EEA passports will actually allow you not only to travel to around 170 countries visa free (including USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc), you can also settle & work in around 40 countries in Western Europe. Including non-EU countries like Norway, Switzerland, etc.

Nigerian passport can ruin your entire image and reputation the moment you bring it out outside Naija
Dude stop this nonsense of feeling entitled to people liking you all over this world. Your perception of the world is very wrong and flawed. I've not had anyone looked at me or disregarded me for being a Nigerian outside this country. People are always willing to learn more when I tell them I'm a Nigerian. The way you carry yourself and see things is why people disre6 you or maybe just you feeling entitled or being inferior to yourself. Even the Chinese don't like the Japanese that much. Get out of your black as.s and embrace the world. No one owes you a thing, likeness or respect, unless you earn it!

Just a heads up or update: Swedish passport use to be the most powerful passport before now due to the number of countries a swede can visit without passport. However, it's no longer the case according to : https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php

We can see that it's position has drop and almost in same ranking as Germany and other related country in the EU.

However, I have come to understand that your passport doesn't define you as a person. By God's grace and mercy, I have both Nigerian and a Swedish a passport and I can tell you that I don't feel any different compare to when I didn't have a Swedish passport. I have not even traveled out for once with it. Not because i don't have the money or time, but I have come to understand that the greatness of a man is not tie to any of this passports but it lies within everyone.
