Miyachi:
I had a different experience.
I was captured the same day I went to the HQ in Gwagalada, their scheduling system didn't give a valid date during the application. The passport took a little longer than ETA I was given, but hey, I didn't pay for the "expedited process".

I didn't spend anything more than the 70-something I paid for the 10 year passport. I didn't have anyone there, just went with a smiling face and good manners.

Na your link no sure. Got families that captured around October ending and they've gotten their passport. Did mine on the 17 of this month and should be out within 3weeks. Cost is 70k sha

TheMostComplex1:


So the brought the Machine to capture in at home

AerialMapper:
My useless passport expired since last year. Paid for express service in March…. I am still waiting for passport!

Thank God for my alternate travel document. I travel out on that passport, at the immigration desk, they ask for my Nigerian passport and I give them the expired one and tell them to speed up their process and go my way. When I return, they ask me for my Nigerian passport and I give them the expired one and tell them the same thing.

Problem solved… get yourself another country’s passport

Getting my passport was hell! I spent over 95k for a regular passport just to hasten things up but I ended up waiting 4months! This used to be a same day process in 2014.
.
At the capturing they would call in VIPs and people with referrals allowing them to jump queues...I stayed from morning till 8pm to get my capturing done. To Japa from that country, you will see hell...

Immigrations office Ilorin, Lagos airport international wing, federal ministry of education and federal ministry of foreign affairs, na God go punish all the corrupt officials there. Nigeria is ruined.

I bet you can't spend anything less than 60k for a regular passport right now.

Yes, I said it first

I recommend Sagamu passport office for International passport processing. I went for capture on the 21 Oct, my passport was dated 27 Oct but I picked it up on 14 Nov. I started the process end-Aug, made N70k payment online for the 64-page/ 10-year passport and scheduled 21 Oct capture date online. I drove to Sagamu from Lagos and spent less than 1 hour for capture, well cared for at their airconditioned waiting room. Collection was the same experience.
This is one time I remember praising a Nigerian Government agency. Hopefully, the capture date scheduling can be shortened to mere days in future.
Shout out to Officer Ajagbe of NIS Passport office Sagamu!

Justbesure:

Please, when was this because i did my capturing in that office september 22, up till now i have not receive my passport

mrking3:
Lagos - Ikoyi.

Miyachi:

Mine was issued Aug. '21. I'm surprised you haven't gotten yours, although I know of someone who had similar issues but his was an official passport.

I remember I collected the officer's number at the passport collection point, I used to call and text him my details to help me check every week till my passport was ready.

armadeo:


Confirm.na next year you go see that passport. That three weeks na story to make belle sweet. I ran mu own recently paid August captured September promised 3 weeks na 2 weeks ago I collect.

I still know people who captured before me sef. Their own never show.

larrypourl:


I'll update you once I get it in 3 weeks time.

brainhgeek:


Forget I, it is at least, 6weeks now if you know someone but about 4months if you don't. The location doesn't really matter

PinkStarsFallIn:

YoungBruzzy:


if you did your passport at the immigration office in ilorin, I won’t dare to oppose your claims cos those idiots stationed in that place will make life hell for anyone unfortunate enough to walk in there for his/her passport.

mediclife1987:


Did my passport for 25k or so in Katsina 2015, collected it that same day.

With all this lamentations, I might travel to the core North West to renew my passport when time reach...

Have you ever gone beyond Abuja before?
I have and came back. Infact I've actually traveled to ALL the states in the North, North Central inclusive.
It's like going beyond the wall.
Say what you know.

brainhgeek:


If your interpretation of 'gone beyond Abuja' is for the sake of acquiring an international passport, then I haven't but if you are talking about traveling beyond Abuja, I have been to all geopolitical regions of Nigeria. Though my first passport was done in Abuja, the renewal was done in the West?

speedxe1256:



I did mine in the north few months ago. walked into immigration office did registration and captured immediately ,got it within 2weeks.i didn't spend up to 24k.. no connection, just me in my NYSC khaki . Lol

mediclife1987:


Are you equating geopolitical regions with states?
If you are then there's no need for further discussion.

larrypourl:


You did the capturing and all in ilorin too right? Link me up with your agent.

brainhgeek:


Yes, in a way. I have been to and stayed in 21, of the 36 states in Nigeria, FCT inclusive. I don't know if you have that much coverage, if you do, you are king. Mind you, of these 21 states, 5 are core northern states where I once lived or visited. So, if you are limited to the North, then, there is no need for further discussion. I can tell a tale of what works in Nigeria from my wider knowledge. Not from a one sided view of a region

mediclife1987:


You're just a joker.

I'm from the South Western part of Nigeria, and yet I've visited ALL the states in the North, in addition ofcourse to ALL in the states in the SW, and also Enugu & Port Harcourt.

You're still learning, so better stay humble and learn.
