Hello @nigimmigration why does a married Nigerian woman need to attach her husband's passport page or proof of her husband's identity before she can renew her passport? Is this really the new policy you're following? Is everything okay? This is official policy?!

You already demand proof from local govt, and population office, why does a woman need to attach her husband's identity to her own before she can renew her passport?
This country looks for ways to invalidate women's existence everyday.
We are people too. @nigimmigration

I have a birth certificate that proves who I am. Information on my NIN proves my identity, yet because my old passport carries my married name, I have to attach my husband's passport page or proof of his identity? What if I'm divorced? So I'm no longer Nigerian?!

Do you realise how dangerous this is for women trying to escape all kinds of things, including domestic violence?

Are you saying a woman has no identity of her own? If my birth certificate and NIN is not enough, then what?! @nigimmi

You're busy celebrating your new contactless passport process, while adding more hoops for women to jump through just to prove their own identity.

Are you asking men to do this or is it just women who can't own their own identities?! @nigimmigration

Imagine a woman trying to get away from an abusive situation. Because the name on her birth certificate is different from the name on her current passport, she must put herself back in harm's way to obtain her abuser's passport page just to renew her passport?

I'm not a victim of DV, just a woman in the middle of a divorce trying to get a new passport. @nigimmigration
Am I Nigerian or not? My birth certificate says I am. So does my NIN. What's your verdict?
Should I bring you my blood? Or my children?!

This country just cannot stop dehumanising women.

You're drawing up a new policy. You've been sued before for doing nonsense like this.

And no one thought to make sure it doesn't happen again?

@nigimmigration hello?

Started trying to renew my passport last week and just put on the breaks when I got this info because frankly, I was sick and tired.

I woke up this morning just pissed off again. @nigimmigration why do you people like stressing someone?

I'm told the website will automatically reject your upload if the name on your current passport is different from your birth certificate, if you don't upload your husband's passport page. @nigimmigration THIS is the amazing contactless service you're celebrating?

Hello sir. @DrJoeabah you showed us when you renewed your passport recently and how easy it was. Please pardon my forwardness. Has your wife renewed hers? Did she need to attach your identity before she could? @nigimmigration

All this for a renewal. Meanwhile this is information we already provided when the first e-passports were launched.

Honestly I'm sick of it all. Sick of needing to prove my humanity, even to government agencies in my own country @nigimmigration

And bear in mind that if you were born before 1992, you can't use your old birth certificate. You have to go to the population council office to get age attestation. And then go to your local govt office to prove you're from there. THEN add extra layers for women. @nigimmigration

HOPE NOTHING??! IS YOUR JACKET ALRIGHT @nigimmigration

The husband should have no business with a woman getting her passport, except that the woman would also have a say in his

Father4all:
Sadly, she is right

spiSeyi:
So no married woman owned herself her dead and living body belongs to the husband here in Africa and that's why women are mostly buried in their husbands backyard and not in their father's house whenever they kissed the dust
Real Men are kings even the SIMPs are sometimes called daddy

BoldBrainz:
With a face like that, it's no surprise the Immigration office is asking for her husband's identity so they can understand who was bold enough to put a feminist goblin in his home.
