Nigeria Embassy Berlin Germany. by dominion001(m): 7:24am On Dec 17, 2021
I am writing this just incase whoever it may concern is here in Nairaland (we may not know).
The arrogant Character of the embassy officials in Berlin to Nigerians is alarming.

Let me take you through how one obtain a passport through difficulties in Nigerian Embassy in Berlin.
1. It will take ages before you can get the normal appointment online. What they have done is to make it extremely difficult for Nigerians to get normal appointment online as the case was, so they now have the opportunity of giving appointments through back doors and collecting different amounts of Euros from desperate Nigerians who need their passports urgently.
2. Travelling down to Berlin. Some Nigerians travel for hours to Berlin, e.g people living in Bayern, Barden-wurtenberg etc. Only to reach the Embassy and meet those arrogant officials who doesn't care from where you came from and give you too much stress.
3. Entrance: you get to the embassy gate and meet an uncoordinated line with the workers turning you around like animals. Even the oyibos that pass through the street will be looking at Nigerians like what is wrong with this people?
4. Inside the embassy compound: Nigerians are kept inside the compound but outside the building for a long time, no matter if the weather is minus 5 degrees.
5. Inside: Here is where the most annoying part happens. When they finally usher you in you will be asked to switch off your phones and submit it to the receptionist. The aim is so that no one will make a video of all the atrocities going on there. Once you can be able to make videos or take pictures they treat and talk to you anyhow they like and if you try to reply then they will find a way to frustrate you by making sure you did not get your passport.
6. Processing time: for God's sake alot of countries that I know get their passport that same day they capture but Nigeria Embassy Berlin will tell you to come back between 4 to 6 months time for your passport. Many people have to buy another train ticket with all the stress back to Berlin it doesn't matter where you stay.
7. Environment: outside this Embassy, everything is in order. You feel the system working the way it should be, but once u step foot into the embassy compound you have this normal Lagos lifestyle where officials think they have the power to decide your fate, where lobbying in secrete is order of the day. Everyone is made to pay 20€ per passport that is aside the normal passport application fee. They even have a POS in the office to collect this money. That is if you have 3 kids plus parents then you should be paying 100 extra Euro which is not in the passport application fee.

The ministry of external affairs should do something because Nigerians in Germany �� are becoming angry with those embassy workers and may do something that will even attract German police to the embassy one day.
