Travel › Extortion Of Nigerians Across ECOWAS Land Borders by caprini1(op): 7:26am On Jan 05*. Modified: 7:45am On Jan 05 |
I have made a similar post on Nairaland a decade or so ago,but this time around it has gotten worse.
Only Nigerian immigration and law enforcement agencies at the seme border are friendly to Nigerians,they will never extort you ,but kindly ask if you have anything for them,if you don't have ,your passports are stamped and you are on your way.
But Benin Republic,Togo and Ghana,a Nigerian passport pays as much as 40,000 naira to get stamped if your final destination is Ghana,only God knows what happens after Ghana ,towards Cote D'Ivoire and the rest?
Let me break it down:
SEME Nigeria side: 500naira or nothing Benin side : 500 to 2000 naira a must.
HILA KONJI Benin side : CFA 2000 = 6000 naira Togo side : CFA 2000 = 6000 naira
AFLAO Togo side : CFA 5000 = 15,000 naira Ghana side: cedi 150=. 17,000 naira
Calculating the total amount you pay ,just to stamp your Passport or an ordinary ECOWAS travel certificate while traveling by road is approximately 45,000 naira ,transport fares are not included.
Where is the ECOWAS brotherhood in all of this?,but mind you travellers fron francophone ECOWAS countries pay absolutely nothing ,and they only travel with their national ID cards.
I think the Nigerian government should look into this. |

EcoLaw: Iit will be a bit difficult for the U.S air strike to take place without the jets being detected in our air space. A bit of Nigeria government collaboration was needed for the operation Tomahawk missiles,with precision technologies were launched from a war ship in the Atlantic,wetin concern America with planes,dey there make pant dey wear you...better start watching Arise News. |

EmperorIsaac: They remove tax before you are paid; then you pay tax for every item you buy with the taxed money...therein lies the system Jagaban wants to copy... in a country where we provide our own healthcare, use generators for electricity, dig boreholes for portable water, and educate our children in expensive private schools, to mention but a few. You forgot to add the uniformed security guards we pay so much for guarding homes. |

AndroBlaze: If this story is true, he is not only very different from a typical Nigerian Senior officer, he is very different from the typical Nigerian Leader fullstop.
Just like was said above, I really do hope this appointment makes a serious difference and people learn it pays to be diligent at your post instead of the endless stealing they all do when they think they have arrived and God has nothing left for them (so they steal everything now and forever hold their peace! ) The thing is there are so many credible men of integrity in the Nigerian army,I have met many ,even the police,but the very bad ones hinders the growth of the very few ones. |

F dinkyicon: I disagree.... VIO cannot mount a roadblock anywhere to check your vehicle. It has been held at the court of appeal that they don't have any business on any type of road. Their core function is only within their offices True,but they will take pictures of your number plate,and the next time you go for vehicle documents renewal,it won't be possible,because you will have some fines from 20k to 60k to pay... better just avoid troubles with them.

They won’t meet on mass shooting in same US they were elected to serve, and so concerned about Nigeria.
Coming from a country that just had 2 mass shootings in the last 7 days!
They should open up on EXACTLY what they want and stop fooling themselves and the gullible. Your president, assembly members, governor's, security outfits,all joined together can not guarantee you a safe drive from Lagos to Ilorin,and you are shamelessly insulting a country that you can drive all alone for thousands of kilometers with zero fear. |

All promise heaven on earth, all reach there and failed.
There is Yoruba saying, translated as “It’s only the person wearing the shoe that knows where it pinches” Nothing is too hard there,Tinubu knowing the controversies by which he became president, shouldn't try to do all at once ,if it was only electricity he faced squarely in the last two years and get it working, believe me he has written his name in gold,but he is truly confused. |

No Eminent2025: This man that is now being vocal was mute during Buhari's terrible Era. The politics of tribalism and religion is what made this country like this. Despite the rate Johnathan Build schools,Roads and other infrastructure in the North and abondon the South including his state, he was rigged out for Not being a Northerner and a Muslim.
This one now suddenly found his voice because a Southerner is there
This is in preparation for 2027 so that they could fool some stupid Southerners to support another Northerner probably Atiku
I can only take this people serious when all of them support another Southerner for 2027 He wasn't mute anything during Buhari,s era,he was one of Buhari,s major critics. |

The last goal, just tell us which player including Haaland has scored that kind of goal in recent times? And it is not the first from osibobo. Turkish league is low standard but Osibobo played against EPL best clubs and scored against them. Haaland can never score that Osimhen 4th goal....Lai Lai. |

obi58: Well done Great watcher of Football.
Thank God You are not Super Eagles coach.
Hate him or love him, Nwabali has been consistent with his GK performances for the Super Eagles.
That's why he has been chosen again and again by the coach over Maduka after assessing both in training. You seem to have forgotten how people were mocking Okoye for his fine boy looks not matching his performances which led to h running away from the Super Eagles for some time after he was demoted. We don't need to go back to the dark days of Okoye and Uzoho. I have heard you....mind you in the last Afcon ,our defense was solid ,which deceived everyone into believing Nwabali was superman,until the day we faced Cote D'Ivoire in the final and Ola Aina played with injury ,two ivorien chance ,two goals ,a game we were leading Anyway good luck to us.... |
