From Sept 1, 2025, Nigerians will pay N100,000 for a standard international passport. According to the Nigeria Immigration Service, the cost was increased in a bid to uphold the quality and integrity of the Nigerian Passport.

Obviously, the cost of getting an international passport is now higher than the national minimum wage and I was curious, so I looked up how passport fees compare with monthly minimum wage globally (including African countries) and this is what I found. The percentages show how much of the minimum wage it takes to afford a passport:

What an uninformed comment. What is a minimum wage person doing with a passport? Where did he get the money to travel on minimum wage?

chiiraq802:
After 2027 general elections most of those that fled to ADC will go back to there former parties and some will be retired officially from Politics......

Some were retired in 2023 but they are still reporting for work. Obi, ElRufai and Atiku come to mind.

It’s the clown who was never passed the employment interview, acting like he is a permanent staff that kills me.

heykims:
We are happy to see you in disarray.
Manage your party affairs, is that too big to achieve for the might Atiku and his cohorts?

Meanwhile they are already retracing their steps. E get wetin dem see there.

roughcode:
not even started they already have issues. They need to remember what happened to labour party

All the people in ADC and i mean all! na issues chase them commot where them dey before. Where they left there is now peace. where they headed to there is now confusion where previously there was none. you can connect the dots.

I thought Islam is older than Christianity o; good to know it's not true

Did you not go to school? I thought this was in the basic school curriculum!

DonFreshmoney:
Am I seeing this clearly. N274 Million as tax for a year and N234million the year before.. I will see this as computerx error, that means he must be making more than 2 billion yearly for his taxes to be this high..

N2b is nothing. It is just $1.3m.

The amount of wickedness, destruction and evil is beyond understanding.

yet some people still worship them.

Multiple threads, multiple pages in those threads in the case of Obi’s son and the Obidient moderators kept them hidden in the trending section.

BERNIMOORE:
Oga Momodu...sebi you said that you are a chieftain in PDP.... you're a force in PDP....why are you helpless with wike

The man has left PDP and joined ADC. I I don’t know what is his business.

Kushites:
Exactly.

No serious Igbo businessman or professional wants to to hear the word “secession”.

The word is an abomination to them.

Imagine telling them to “leave Nigeria”.

Abandon Abuja, Lagos, Kaduna etc and just be confined to Aba and Onitsha?

It’s like an insult to them.

The biggest beneficiaries of Nigeria are the Ibos. That’s why they are all over the country. Their land is not enough for them to thrive. And they are the only ones who cannot thrive in their land considering their population and resources.

And that’s why I pay no attention to their gaslighting.

Kushites:
Allen Onyema is a great Nigerian patriot.

If you come to his office with any anti-Nigerian nonsense, he will throw you out.

I saw an interview of him recently, and he’s as a proud a Nigerian as you’ll ever meet.

If you know your business is better off in a Nigeria of 200m you will be a proud Nigerian. It’s poor ibos that shout Biafra.

Chilipepper:
How old were you when you learnt that 9-5 is 9hrs a day, 5days a week and not 9am-5pm

9-5 is 9 am to 5pm. Which is the standard work day in the UK with 1/2 hr lunch break

In Nigeria the standard work day is 8am-4pm

Stop spreading misinformation, the standard work day as set by the INternational Labour organisation is 8hrs a day. These are international labour laws

In some countries it is 9-5 only because of daylight saving time etc otherwise the standard working day is 8hrs.

The bolded is your imagination. I already shared a screenshot of what he said made him leave PDP

This is a screenshot from Punch a reputable news outlet who quoted him verbatim yet you're making up silly stories about representation of SE in APC as if Ogbonnaya Onu and Okorocha were not among the founding fathers of APC. How can someone be so addicted to making things up like this? Oya provide any evidence from any source whatsoever that your bolded claim is from Umahi like I just did with the Punch screenshot

If you think Okorocha, Onu or hope had or have any chance of being a presidential candidate for APC you need more than your brain examined. Since when did founding member make you a default presidential favorite or mean you will rise to the top or that you are automatically a key decision maker? Was ElRufai not a foundation member, was he not denied ministerial post? Such low level thinking you exhibit all the time in your posts.

In any event I am not going to aid you diverting the topic. You conjured up a tale that Umahi left PDP because It did not zone the ticket to the SE. I proved this is one of your numerous made up stories.

I have blocked you at least 3 times in the past and you’ve just earned your 4th. Unfortunately Nairaland blocks are temporary.


Obi left because he was told by Atiku he could not guarantee him the VP slot. Do what you want with that while you serve your block!

PDP does not microzone! Ekweremadu contested against Obasanjo The way I was raised and educated, I will take 2 minutes to google the PDP constitution and thankfully it is available online and do a word search for “zoning” before coming online to make a …… of myself.

1998 PDP primaries:

OLUSEGUN OBASANJO 1,658 67.98%
ALEX EKWUEME 521 21.36%
DON ETIEBET 106 4.35%
GRAHAM DOUGLAS 71 2.91%
JIM NWOBODO 59 2.42%
PHILIP ASIODU 12 0.49%
FRANCIS ELLAH 12 0.49%

YOU ARE NOW BLOCKED!

Kukutente23:
Point of correction. PDP never zoned its ticket in 2023. You seem preoccupied with making things up.
I remember now that I once corrected you on the same lie.
Sometimes all you have to do is just ask Google and you'll get a very definite clear answer. Read below for what Umahi said made him leave PDP in 2020 to be precise. Again you erroneously claimed he left in 2021

https://punchng.com/why-i-left-pdp-umahi/

The matter is not that important to you yet you keep repeating it. Not important indeed!!
Rest

You are being pedantic. Whether they zoned or threw it open, the point is Their decision was not made until April 2022 by which time Umahi was almost 2 years a member of APC. Do you see what I mean when I say I don’t have any regard for you, that you mould the facts to fit your narrative and that producing evidence for you is a waste of time?

I just proved to you that the statement you made about Umahi was false, instead you are arguing over whether they zoned or didn’t! Deciding to throw it open is also zoning. The point is their decision on zoning was made almost 2 years after Umahi left the party and yet you say Umahi left because they didn’t zone to the SE!

The point is you lied! You said Umahi left PDP because PDP refused to some it’s ticket to the SE. to start with PDP does not microzone anyway so PDP will never have zoned it’s ticket to the SE, they zone to north or south.

In any event like I said you argue like a motor park tout. You already know what you belief and any evidence to the contrary is a waste of time….like you have just shown.

And then you ask me to waste my time combing through numerous 30minute interviews? Like I said believe what you want because evidence won’t change your mind. It’s not the first time. You have demonstrated this from my 1st interaction with you over EPC+F many months ago.

Umahi left PDP because he realized there was no credible SE representation in APC and he likely made the shrewd political calculations that APC would be the party to dominate in the near future and if he defected, he would get early mover advantage. Simple as! He was right as he is the leading SE figure in the APC and the administration, unfortunately for him, his people are not politically astute and all his efforts will likely be in vain. Nothing to do with PDP.

Argue with your keyboard.

Kukutente23:
Can you share a link to Segun Sowumi saying that?
Cause I remember sharing with you the reasons Obi. Left PDP and it was majorly failure to zone the ticket to SE. Umahi left on same ground too and we all know the mastermind behind that

Go back to the thread where we discussed this matter in July. I told you where to look. I don’t hold my interactions with you in any regard to bother to comb through 30minute interviews to prove anything to you. I know what I heard and the matter is not that important to me to waste my time. Segun sowunmi gave a lot of interviews in that period, it’s in one of the,. Either arise, TVC, channels or trust Tv

Also Marc Jacob, former legal adviser to PDP also confirmed it in an interview.

If it is that important to you, look on you tube for interviews by Segun sowunmi and mark jacobs in the month leading up to our interaction in July. If not you are free to believe what you want.

“Atiku told Peter obi to his face that he cannot guarantee him the VP ticket.” That was what was said in the interview. There is only a limited number of interviews by Segun Sowunmi and Marc jacobs in that period. If it means that much to you, search for the interviews. I have interacted with you long enough to know your truth is what you believe not evidence.

Umahi left long before PDP zoned its ticket. Umahi left in 2020, PDP only decided it’s zoning for 2023 in April 2022. This is why I said I don’t hold you in any regard. You make it up as you go.

Why did $40.61 billion flow back out,

You don’t pay for imports with Naira.

Kukutente23:
Easy with the lies
Obi left PDP 24th May while the convention held on 28th May

I got my dates wrong. You and I had a back forth over this last month. Segun Sowunmi confirmed it on TV he was a witness when Atiku told him to his face.

You don’t watch political interviews, you get your news from Nairaland and the gossips on the night bus.

arantess:
You go shalaye till kingdom come

Blocked

arantess:
Stop contradicting yourself going forward

you clearly do not know the meaning of contradict.

go back to school.

English is your language of communication, if you dont know the meaning of the words you use or dont know what people are saying to you, you are better off deaf and dumb.

Streetinvestor2:
This people obi does not have sense more than all of them.Obi left pdp because of wike
Then when obi lost out completely he became SW mole in pdp.Obi will never return to SW president pdp

Obi left PDP because on the night before the convention, Atiku told him he wouldnt be his running mate

arantess:
Lol
Chop your cassava drink water, ogbeni

Improve your English comprehension .

arantess:
You tried to sound smart but ended up chatting dross.

You said the sources of corruption has been removed.
Tinubu said no more corruption.
Then you last paragraph, you countered him by saying there is still corruption

Guy is this confusion or what?

Have you wondered why you failed so many job interviews? Have you wondered why despite your degree you could not get that dream job and now you are an Uber driver?

When someone says “biggest sources”, It is implied that “not all” have been removed and hence some remain.

Next time you are in an interview, answer the question as it is put to you.

"Biggest sources" is not "all sources".

it's people like you that will bring fake degree certificate, when INEC says "minimum" is school leaving certificate and you have a legitimate school leaving certificate.

English refresher courses are available online to help you in life!

the biggest sources of corruption in Nigeria (fuel and forex subsidies) have been removed. many of you dont have the inteeligence to understand that. in addition, digitizing revenue sources e.g customs, VAT etc remove avenues for corruption.

there is still corruption but curbing corruption is not by noise. Sometimes removing the avenues for stealing without making noise halts corruption quietly.

when The tarrif war with China started, this traitor was cozying up to Trump betraying his BRICS partners.

iwaeda:
Please what will Petrobas do that, Nigeria indigenous Oil and Gas are not doing. Hope Nigerians will manage the company when it returns.

With NIgerians who think like you why would anyone want to employ NIgerians?

You turn everything in the office into political, tribal and religious center. Do the work and thinking you are paid to do…no!

Suicideboy:
Land burial is a western concept


Africans cremate their loved ones

Who is this?

Racoon:
Which SE? The one his deluded supporters called inconsequential? Perhaps the cold shoulders from the north is dawning on him now. You can say the SE is electorally useless then turn around to court it. Proudly onye dot.

Nobody is asking, lobbying or needs your votes. Please direct it where you normally direct it. Don’t think you can crawl back, creating fake stories thinking we will support you in 2039……After Tinubu, we are supporting he SS,

Because cemeteries are a colonial concept. African s bury their dead on their land that’s why children are traditionally allocated land.

bdon123:
U guys seem to hav suddenly decided to attempt character assassination on D white bird Peter Obi.It shows u are scared becos of d north backing for him.
Mind u ,i didnt vote tinubu last time becos ano hes a criminal bt this time i will vote him not becos hes a gud president bt becos d people rallying to fight him like el rufai are blood suckers n far worse than tinubu.I wont vote obi becos he has aligned himself wit terrorism sponsor like el rufai

1 we are not scared
2: the north backing him is a figment of your imagination
3: you called Tinubu a criminal, that is character assasination because he wasn’t convicted of any crime
4: I made no accusations. Your senior messiah and savior Nnamdi Kanu was the one who said he sleeps with men, it was Obi himself who said in an interview of honest Bunch, that he doesn’t care if his wife has affairs, it was Obidients recently defending homosexuality and Obidients received a lot of foreign sponsorship. I am only asking questions seeking clarifications.

Don’t forget homosexuality is an offense in Nigeria and we would like it to remain such. So if a candidate possibly intends to legalize it we need to ask questions.

This is the kind of thing Obi and the Obidient movement want to introduce to Nigerians.

And like the LGBT, the Obidients want to force their views on the majority via manipulations and propaganda!

Draw parallels with how the Obidients operate and how thE LGBT movement silence and criticisms or rights to have a different view. The LGBT got to a point where they force you to call a man a woman. This is exactly the same thing the Obidients operate!
