The Nigerian passport is a document issued by the Nigeria immigration services. It is a travel document that allows you to travel to other countries around the world.

International Passport was introduced to Nigerian in 1948. It was called the British West African passport. The colour of the passport was brown with 63 pages. However, after Nigerian gained her independence in 1960. A new International passport was issued. Nigeria as a country started issuing its passport officially in 1960 The colour of the passport was then changed from brown to green. The number of pages was reduced from 63 to 32.
In 1988 the Nigeria Immigration Service was chosen as the only institution to issue the Nigerian passport.

A useless passport that some African countries have been rejecting....



A passport that you must pay kickbacks before you'd get it...


A passport that only the rich gets at ease...


A useless passport that makes you look like a demon in a western country...


A passport that you can't renew easily....

A passport that is so useless that other countries immigration officers can easily twist it right before your face and nothing will happen to the officer.

This right here is a straight ticket to have yourself educated about Airport security and how narcotics smugglers are caught, all their scanning machines and what not. The Nigerian passport will open doors in airports that other travellers will never go through. grin grin grin

What a joke of a nation.

Notice the first generation of Nigerian passports , The information in the data page is written with a pen , to renew it, you will have to take it back for them to re-stamp it with a new expiry date. This got me laughing out loud.

Sadly, the country economy or state doesn't depicts the progression in the life span of the passport.
