NIGERIA EMBASSY ROME

The embassy of Nigeria in Rome is a big shame to Nigerians. Everyone need to know what these stupid people do. After writing this they may never renew my Nigeria passport anymore. I don’t even care if they do, but they need to stop extorting Nigerians.

My wife needed to renew her Nigerian passport, I paid for 64 pages booklet. I did this because most times if you pay for 32 pages booklet, they will come up with stories like booklet is not available. And use it to delay your passport. The 64 pages cost more than 32 pages.

Then I went to the embassy website to book the appointment date. There was no appointment. In fact take a look at the screen recorded video. You will notice that there is no appointment now till January 2024. I decided to stop there. There is no appointment even till 2080.

The wonderful thing is that the embassy keeps issuing passports without appointments. The reason will shock you.

To be able to renew your passport you will have to pay an unofficial amount of money. The amount varies from the person helping you to do it.

In my wife case we paid €200 more to someone there to help us renew the passport. This is just to bribe them to do the passport. Even after paying them $137 they were not satisfied. They still wanted me to bribe them to release the passport.

Upon entering the embassy, her cellphone was collected from her. She was obligated to submit her cellphone before entering the embassy.

What could they be scared of?

Someone might video their corrupt activities and leak it?

She gave them her cellphone and entered inside.

One oyinbo came inside the embassy and they didn’t seize her cellphone. My wife saw her flaunting her cellphone inside the embassy. Now why didn’t they do the same to her? Maybe they are scared she might report them to the Italian police.

And if the Italian police get involved, their intelligence might leak everything. It might complicate the Chancery. Even the way they talk and embarrass citizens is very bad. My wife told me about someone who had difficulty speaking English. Instead of them to help, he was mocked

Let’s do simple Maths and figure check the business they’re doing at the embassy.

Assuming they issue 100 passports a day for €200, that’s €20,000 a day and €600,000 a month for 30 days. This in a year is €7.2 million. In just one year.

Na suit dem dey wear �‍♂️

That’s a lot of money. This is the business going on at the Nigerian embassy at Rome. Now you know why there is no appointment till 2080. For you to get scanned you have to pay that unofficial amount. And this is nothing but extortion.

If you’re a Nigerian and you believe it is wrong for the Nigerian Embassy to extort your fellow brothers then retweet this as a support to end this extortion. Nigerians deserve better.

Passports should be issued without bribe or extra fee.

Many Nigerians have no jobs and may not be able to afford it. We can’t allow this nonsense. If you don’t pay them you won’t get scanned and won’t get your passport.

Please, include these tags to every tweet in regards.

@NigeriaMFA You will remember this email. Instead of you to assist in securing an appointment and talking to the embassy, your office decided to be mute.

Are you by any means supporting the extortion of Nigerians by the Nigerian Embassy Rome?

We demand answers.

Just because of their dubious activities I have refused to request the issue of Nigeria passport for my kids. I can’t pay €600 for my two kids and myself. Then pay the official amount of $411. Transport to Rome from where I live for three of us is like €150.

That’s approximately €1000 just to get 3 international passports. I need to spend over 500k Naira to get three passports because of the embassy extorting us and @NigeriaMFA is quiet. Shame on you for allowing this

� IMPORTANT UPDATE �

The embassy contacted me. I requested to speak with the ambassador directly to ask him questions regarding the corrupt practices in the embassy.

He agreed to speak with me, and he sent me his phone number.

Firstly I will like to thank His Excellency @GeoffreyOnyeama for swift action in resolving the issue. The appointment booking is now open for citizens. Now they can book and get their passports without bribing anyone. This is what we wanted.

During my discussion with the ambassador, I asked him various questions regarding the corrupt practices around the embassy.

He assured me that he was not aware of such, and as a matter of fact he will definitely look into it and fix the situation immediately.

He also assured me that anytime I need to do my international passport that the embassy will be there to get it done without extra charges.

He explained how hard he is working to offer better services to Nigerians in Italy.

He also assured me that these things will change now that it has come to his notice. The Nigerian Ambassador to Italy, Ambassador Mfawa Abam and the Head of Chancery gave me their private numbers to resolve the issue and render better services to Nigerians living in Italy.

In conclusion, I want to thank everyone who helped in retweeting this sincerely. I dedicate this victory to you all. We must always speak up against illegality and corruption in our environment. Thank you so much to you all.

Again, thank you, His Excellency @GeoffreyOnyeama, for the swift intervention. Also, thanks to the Ambassador and Head of Chancery for their collaboration to offer better services to Nigerians living in Italy.

God bless Nigeria ��

It's a punishment that's why I don't go church anymore. It's obvious there is no God in this dark country. One can't be suffering and be going to church to dance and pretend that all is well. I will rather use the time for church to get some rest for the next day's hustle.

I pity those who think that Nigeria will ever get better.

It takes about 20 years to train a generation that leads a nation.

In past 60 years Nigeria has been training nothing but crooks.

There was a time they trained a generation of coup plotters.

Then followed the generation of anini

Then came the generation of ritualist

After then they trained the generation of yahoo boys

Presently they are training a generation of yahoo plus and ponze schemes

What is similar across those periods was that those that couldn't get "educated" were busy learning and perfecting the act of bribe taking and corruption.
