Travel › What Does P And PP Stand For On Passport? by MikkieEl(op): 2:14pm On Jun 25*. Modified: 9:13pm On Jun 25 |
The letters "P" and "PP" found in a passport indicate the document type and are primarily used within the Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ) to enable border control systems and travel authorities to quickly identify the nature of the travel document.
P – Denotes a Standard Passport. Historically, a single "P" served as the internationally recognized designation for a standard passport.
PP – Denotes an Ordinary or Regular Passport. Many countries have adopted the use of "PP" in line with updated standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The ICAO has introduced the use of a mandatory second letter to facilitate the rapid and accurate identification of passport categories by automated border control systems and airline personnel. This distinction allows standard passports (PP) to be readily differentiated from other passport types, such as Emergency Passports (PE), Diplomatic Passports (PD), and Official Passports (PO), without the need for manual verification.
Therefore, if your passport bears the designation "PP" instead of "P", it simply indicates that the document conforms to the latest internationally accepted passport formatting standards and does not signify any change to your citizenship, travel privileges, or passport status.

Politics › Re: I Rejected El-rufai As My Successor – Obasanjo by MikkieEl: 9:25pm On Oct 24, 2025 |
ogododo: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Friday, revealed how he rejected a move to have him endorse former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, as his successor.
Under the Obasanjo government, El-Rufai served first as the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and later as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) from 2003 to 2007.
While exiting power in 2007, Obasanjo backed the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua as his successor.
Speaking in Abeokuta, Ogun State, at the second edition of the annual symposium of the Ajibosin Platform with the theme “Importance of Leadership in Governance,” Obasanjo revealed that former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, had recommended El-Rufai as his successor, but he brushed it aside.
Chidoka, who was the keynote speaker at the event, recalled how El-Rufai recommended him to Obasanjo at the age of 34, a move that brought him closer to the presidency and eventually led to his appointment as the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Addressing the gathering, Obasanjo threw a jab at Chidoka for his failure to tell the El-Rufai story.
“Let him tell you. He didn’t mention that. He was pushing when I was leaving government that his friend, El-Rufai, should be brought in as my successor,” Obasanjo said.
Facing Chidoka, who sat among the panelists, Obasanjo asked, “No be so (Is that not true)?”
The former minister nodded his head in agreement.
Obasanjo explained that he brushed aside the recommendation of El-Rufai as his successor because he felt his former minister needed to mature.
“I did not yield to the pressure. Later, he said, ‘I suggested this person, why didn’t you agree?’ I said El-Rufai needs to mature. You remember?
“When I left government and, many years later, he saw the performances of El-Rufai, he came back to me and said, ‘You’re absolutely correct. El-Rufai needed to mature.’”
Obasanjo, however, applauded Chidoka, El-Rufai, and others for their “special attributes,” which he said were the driving forces of his government.
Speaking on the theme, the Ota-farmer emphasized character, exposure, experience, and training as the hallmarks of good leadership. Obasanjo said, “It’s only in politics that I found out there is no training for leadership. Even among armed robbers, I was told there is apprenticeship.
Emphasis on the highlight.
“But it’s only in politics that there is no training in leadership. That’s not good enough.”
Delivering the keynote address, Chidoka blamed Nigeria’s challenges on what he called excuses and the politics of alibi.
“Leadership finds its true measure not in speeches or charisma but in the systems it leaves behind.
“Moral conviction must translate into the everyday machinery of governance—rules, routines, and institutions that make competence predictable and corruption difficult.
“Nigeria’s problem has never been a shortage of ideas; it is the absence of systems strong enough to outlive their authors,” he said.
He called for a shift from excuses to action and taking responsibility.
“We must therefore make leadership accountable not to rhetoric but to results: measure by building national dashboards and accountability systems that track every promise, every budget, every outcome. Monitor by strengthening the institutions that evaluate government performance and expose complacency,” he said.
The convener of the symposium, Aare Olanrewaju Bakinson, said the lecture aimed to discuss the critical role effective leadership plays in shaping societies and nations.
“Leadership is not just about power; it’s about responsibility, vision, and service. As we explore this theme, we’ll examine the qualities of good governance, the impact of leadership on development, and strategies for fostering ethical leadership,” he said.
Among the prominent personalities at the event were Senator representing Ogun Central, Shuaibu Salis; the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oba Saka Matemilola; the Olota of Ota, Oba Adeyemi Obalanlege; and former Ogun First Lady, Mrs. Olufunsho Amosun.

Osariemen12: Same Sapele Road Oshomole and Obaseki worked on. Let's be honest, the possibility of flooding during and after rainfall in Benin City is high, and it doesn't start today. From Ugbowo to Agbo Road, Uselu to Aduwawa, Tv Road to Textile Mill Road, Ekehuan Road to Okhoro. And these roads are in good shapes, by Nigeria's standards. We experienced same thing during Oshiomole and I don't think the next governor can do anything about it.
What I won't permit is someone living in the dirty waters of Ogbomosho or Udi to malign my hardworking governor because we rejected APC at the polls in 2020. Yes, Edo no be Lagos, the slum headquarters of West Africa. . I am glad to inform you that this flooding dey learn from Sokoto flooding. There's no problem without solution if the political will is there. What did Tambwal do? He constructed one kind mighty drainage, drainage is an understatement. It was called stormwater channel or so. It's depth is above 6ft and its about 4ft wide. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Ilorin Cleric Attacks Osun Priestess, Worshippers by MikkieEl: 9:46pm On Jul 22, 2023 |
vannessa7: God is almost becoming a four letter word in some people's heart, what is there to defend in idolatory. When the Almighty God (Allah) (SWA) say who is on the Lord's side, Muslims always step forward. All those supporting the idolatory in Ilorin should go and do same in Kano.
Surprisingly the igbos who are christians and are privy to all that happened at Mt. Camel between Elijah and prophets of Baal are the one championing support for idolatory in Yoruba land and it's just one of their divisive tactics, they are so ungodly that it will be easier to find a needle in a haystack than to find an igbo man in heaven, they can't resist hatred and destruction of others no matter how Godly they claim. Idolatory is the sole reason why the Yoruba race is not at par with the developed world because we are so blessed. Idolatory will enslave the coming generations and destroy them unless they keep worshipping the idols unlike God who is patient and loving even to unbelievers in Him, idols enslave even if the people that worshipped them died 400 years ago, the new generation who are educated and know nothing about idol will now be in bondage, and only Islam can break the stronghold of idol permanently, idols don't have a heaven to take it's worshippers to, they will all end up in hell with their master the devil. Islam cannot tolerate idolatory. Be reminded that Nigeria is a secular state. And you are allowed to practice the religion of your choice. It is unlawful to force your religious belief on anybody. I forsee the clerics being subpoena soon. Go and quote this your yeye idolatry in the court |

Politics › Re: Tension At APC Headquarters, As CECPC Inaugurates State Chairmen by MikkieEl: 6:17pm On Feb 03, 2022 |
The National headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was practically a tensed battleground in the early hours of Thursday, as the national leadership of the party inaugurates the newly-elected State Chairmen of the party.
Afraid that protest might breakout during the inauguration due to the crises rocking many of the state chapters that produced parallel State executives, the leadership of the party had massively deplored countless number of security agents that took over almost all the entire Blantyre Street housing the ruling party Secretariat.
The APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) had late Wednesday night issued a circular, ordering the Secretariat staff to stay away from work in an attempt to have only few manageable staff for fear of breakdown of law and order.
The deployment of the security agents had come as surprise to many of the staff unaware of the circular when they were denied entry into the Secretariat on arrival in the early hours.
Although the security agents were civil in screening the few pockets of persons allowed into the Secretariat premises, they had however grounded vehicular and human movements along the entire Secretariat. Interestingly, not even the supporters of the about-to-be inaugurated State executives, drumming and dancing, were allowed entrance or to near the Secretariat.
Speaking to Daily Sun, a security personnel attached to the party said: “You know we can’t afford to take chances. You know the kind of tension and crises the congresses that produced the state executives have been generating. If the national leadership didn’t take this security measures, there could be breakdown of law and order with some of the disgruntled factions coming here to protest.” Democratic party indeed. Tueh! |
