Is the Nigerian Passport really expensive?
I think the cost of obtaining the Nigerian Passport is relatively fair, though compared to minimum wage, you need just 6 weeks wages pay to obtain the standard 32 pages-5years passport!

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.

What it will cost you to obtain a passport if you're a national of the following countries-

The tax master Tinubu at it again. Squeeze Nigerians till they bleed to death.

It's an identity, your personality shows your character!
Nigeria passport is the cheapest in the whole wide world

That's indication that Nigerians are not embracing alternative energy-CNG,e-fuel, Solar..

That's what we've been saying, Peter Obi is not and can never be the Nigerian messiah! The last 2 years have exposed him as cunning pretender with nothing upstairs!

Please don't expect Peter Obi to condemned the stabber because he's from his kinsman, neither will he visits the stabbed family because the victim is same tribe with his perceived tormentors!
Rip to the dead. It's high time, Lagos State and her people take charge of their space!

They will claim opposition persecution or witch-hunt!

Everyone just trying to enforce rubbish! Withholding results isn't out of norms, malpractices must be punished!

Including self/associates initiatited kidnapping

How do you also explain, our population growth?
Explain how we deserted the farms for the cities!
How do you explain an unproductive populace is a call for disaster?
Or how we embrace quick money culture

Brendaniel:
one is sitting as president, how can a supposed loser of an election be competing in attacks from a supposed winner of the same election?

Do you hear any person attacking Kamala Harris again like they attack Trump in the U.S?

no, because she lost but we can't say the same about Peter Obi because he actually won...

Did Kamala claimed she won the election? I his Obidients worsened his matter!
And by the way ,,it's not Tinubu that's attacking Obi, his own problem na PDP!

madridguy:
Iconic picture.
Sad news for enemies of Nigeria.

An icon like this deserves many respect.

Like the one above you

[quote author=Brendaniel post=136592880]But Tinubu and Yakubu's INEC wants us to believe that Peter Obi came third behind Atiku and Tinubu came first, Well this the real result of that election

Peter Obi - Winner

Atiku - 2nd

Tinubu - 3rd

But Tinubu and INEC just flipped Tinubu's position with Peter Obi's own because can someone explain how APC attacks Peter Obi more than Atiku who came second and PDP is regretting fielding Atiku in 2023 while also seeking him for presidency over Atiku for 2027 and even rating him with Jonathan, it is clear Peter Obi won that election.[/quote
Who's attacking Obi? Tinubu is being attacked more than Obi. Both are from South and because of his last showings at the poll it becomes imperative to weaken him.
I found the perceived attacks on Obi unnecessary because his conducts and discussions from then till now shows he has nothing upstairs nor anything to offer the largest black nation in the world!

kettykin:
Wow so Oyo is preferred to the FCT ,Rivers state,
Delta state, AkwaIbom in terms of relocation .

And kwara is having a higher relocation index than Rivers state. This is getting interesting.


And Lagos is not even in the list.

They're relocating from Lagos because of skyrocketing rentals!

We all know that gbajue is number one trader in that line of trading! Nigeria will overcome them!

LagosOrigin:
When the Canadian government declared APC a terrorist organization, you guys said it's fake news but it turned out to be true.

Truth is, Nigeria has become a laughing stock under tinubu.

Are you sure the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT DID THAT?

That's the difference between a law abiding citizen and law breakers.
The Privacy &Data protection law demands warning of data capturing unlike Sowore whose purpose is to embarrass and shame the force men and women!

Obi best time was 2023 when people don't fully knows his personality and traits or his desperation with his religion sentiments!

His conduct since then has shown he has nothing to offer especially with his criticisms when actually, he ought to be working underground!

SmartyPants:
Once you see that the source is Peoples' Gazette, take it with a huge pinch of salt.

That's right!

This news is fake and we knew where it is coming from! Man must wack!

Interpol can and would never release this crap as rejoinder!

Does that even make sense to you?

What country are the imported people from?

From Northern Nigeria to Eastern Nigeria region

Is it because of 2027 ? The gbajue master have started importing people to register as voters in ongoing INEC registration!

USA, CANADA, VDM, SOWORE, PETER OBI, investigative journalist, Soyombo, Amnesty International will not see this one to condemn the Kano government but will still pinned it on Tinubu/FGN

givedemwotowoto:
In 2027, the goal is to vote out Tinubu as President. His policies were ill timed and poorly implemented, and this resulted in extreme hardships for millions of Nigerians.

Having said that, opposition needs to get together now. Nigerians can’t have this continued lack of unity and direction

That's your own goal,right? Wishing you best of luck!

Who stopped your loved ones from welcoming you at any hour to welcome you, home.
Irrelevant news!

Go sit baba,is your daughter a baby?

Fielding her to be able to train and care for her children?
Imagine, can't they set up business for her?

With the recent conduct of bye elections in about 12 states and results declared with winners emerging, can we then say Nigeria is trending towards a one party state?

The results declared so far shows;
All Progressive Party-APC
People Democratic Party - PDP
All Progressive Grand Alliance -APGA and
New Nigeria Peoples Party-NNPP emerges victorious, it should be noted that the ruling party in the respective states takes the lead!

Nigeria's political party system is characterized by a mix of dominant parties and a multitude of smaller parties, with a notable lack of strong ideological foundations. The two largest parties are the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Other notable parties include the Labour Party (LP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Many smaller parties exist, but they often struggle to gain significant traction due to the dominance of the larger parties and the prevalence of personality-driven politics.

Contrary to the hue and cries of political activist and opposition, Nigeria doesn't seems to trend towards a one party state!
Any further observations?

Another alarmist and propagandist group!
