I was watching the nta network news yesterday night,  and I heard the immigration have decided to change the passport. The new one is going to have an electronic chip which is going to be at the back of the passport. Actually, what baffles me is that the immigration officer said the old passport would only be valid for 12 months after that all nigerians are expected to get the new one. What is going to happen to people living outside nigeria. Does it mean that if we don't have the new passport we cannot come to nigeria with the Old one. I want to know more about this. . . .People please share your views.

ehn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please tell me you are joking.

if this true, then another stupid government decision to chop money!

they have not counted correctly how many nigerians, yet want to do chip-embedded passport!!!

foolish government

they'll be expected to get the new one via the nigeria high commission where they reside, you can get your passport/visa online now according to the commissioner http://www.nigeriahc.org.uk/

It is probably a condition given to the Nigerian govt by the UK and the US. And obviously u can get a new passport for the high commission wherever u live.

When is it coming out?

is it only chips? no piece of chicken? i don't like chips without chiken

U funny mehn

It's not stupid. Practically every country in the world has electronic passports. African countries are the only countries behind.

Well, this will mean that my passport will be invalid after 12 Months, which means that as soon as the news gets out to immigration offices worldwide, I'll be screwed.

But the Government will probably work something out.

Excuse me, this is such an untrue statement! which countries have electronic passports? the UK is only just introducing it now amid severe resistance. Also, the Nigerian passport is not in any way backward it is readable which is what countries like the UK which are under terrorist threat are just now trying to improve upon.

Let us look for money and jappa.
