well simple I had not enough time to renew it and its not top of my agenda. No visa in a passport is not a requirement for Immigration stamp as I have been to other countries b4 where my British passport had been stamped. For argument sake I can say I just lost my Nigerian passport 2 hours ago. What do you think they will say? I dont even need my Nigerian passport for boarding pass.

It is even worse if you say you lost your Nigerian Passport. First, you are lying and that's a serious offense. Two, they will request you get a police report and then get an emergency travel document from the immigration office.

Also saying it's not top of your agenda is concerning. Your travel documents should always be top of your agenda if you really want to travel without issues. I advice you start the process. Schedule an appointment, and go for the data capture. Even if you can't capture due to time at least you have evidence that you started the process.

Perhaps the reason why your British Passport was stamped without visa in other countries is because visa is exempt in those countries. Unfortunately, in Nigeria you need a visa if you are claiming British or US Citizen.

erico2k2:

I think you forgot the part where I said I have a British passport.

I did not forget...lol. Going to Nigeria with an expired passport isn't the issue, it's when you want to leave.

The immigration guys will need to stamp your Nigerian Passport before they can allow you leave the country. They cannot stamp your British Passport because there is no visa on it. So you will have to explain to the immigration officers why you still have an expired Nigerian Passport.

erico2k2:

This is what I am doing, to Nigeria with xpired 9ja passport then return with british passport.

You might have issues going back if you still haven't renewed your passport before leaving Nigeria. I advice you do express renewal. And even if the passport is not out you can present evidence that you have commenced the renewal process

Abayomi69:
I read that Lufthansa let's you through in Frankfurt. Thank God for that!
But how long does it take these days to renew your passport in Nigeria? What if I don't get it in time to fly back?
Is it possible to travel to Nigeria with a expired Nigerian passport and afterwards return to Schengen area with a dual citizen passport (Belgian in this case)?

You can travel to Nigeria with an expired passport, the problem is when you want to leave the country. I recommend you start the renewal process. If you do express it takes less than 1 week. And even if you don't get it, you can show evidence at the airport that you have commenced renewal, they should allow you to go.

LongT:
oshomole was recalled.

Oshiomhole ke? He is still a Senator as we speak.

Jamesoghie:

Yes.Dino Malays of Kogi

No he wasn't recalled. They tried but failed. See link:

Has any senator or rep member ever been recalled in Nigeria in this republic?

jmoore:
E go hard oh!

When was it banned?

You ban something same day you are implementing the ban.

Do you know traders have such goods worth hundreds of millions of naira in their possesion? They should burn their goods abi?

The best solution is to work with the manufacturing companies so they can switch to producing paper takeaway packs.
The enduser is not your problem.

Exactly. You just aired my mind. Our politicians are very quick to issue unrealistic bans. At the end the ban won't even be very effective because the root cause hasn't been addressed.

I just hope there is no collusion between his office and the judiciary...just thinking.

The guy saw sth we didn't see.

Please, please and please, I beg the police officers to make sure to gather all their evidence and make a strong and intelligent case against these guys in the courts so they can get justice. Most of the cases brought up by the police are struck out in the courts because they didn't present their case intelligently.

This is good. Hopefully, the government will be able to stop the hyper inflation and stabilize the exchange rate so that the naira doesn't get devalued at a rate that will make companies actually be at loss even if they had achieved profit ie Naira profit yet Dollar loss.

No ransom was paid by the military ofcourse. But ransom was paid by the family. Who is deceiving who? These Kidnappers are still in the bush planning who is next. God help this country.

We need the names of the miners. We also need the names of those who died. For transparency sake.

ChukwuObe:


I hope that as they prosecute him you and your likes will not be crying of witch-hunting. Nonsense

It is not witchhunt if they prosecute him now. However, it will be if they decide to wait until 2027.

This is the right time to prosecute him if they really have evidence. But I don't think they do. Watch as this case will die down and then be resurrected as 2027 is approaching.

I hope they are not covering up something here. If they are, I advice them not to because it will only rear up its ugly head later on.

LillyandDaisy:

We are all alive when they keep killing and destroying all police post in the region

Exactly my point. That goes to show the incompetence.

There is no way 45 people will be kidnapped and be hidden from public view. If the police is truly competent, this is an easy catch. But we all know our police isn't. God help us.

I disagree. Tinubu is getting Politicking right but failing in both Governance and Economy.

LagosG:
Who lied and is the thief?

I go with RICK. His car has less snow on its top. Also, the walk way to the door has less snow. And the snow heap around the tire shows the car was moved during the snow.

Hopefully, the gas flaring is just a temporary thing and they will be able to channel the gas for something useful.

If the average dollar rate for 2024 is eventually 1000 naira, it means the FG will have to borrow extra 200 naira (ie 1000 - 800 = 200) for every dollar borrowed in addition to the money they are already borrowing. That's a 25% increase in debt. And to be honest with you, I think the naira to dollar rate will be higher than 1000 naira in this 2024. I'm not a prophet of doom, I'm just saying things as I see them.

Na Obidients I pity pass.

The mental torture nor be here.

You suppose pity everybody....including yourself join. I dey naija currently and I see the hardship everywhere. It's well.

Ex- Atiku Spokesperson Daniel Bwala Visits President Tinubu in the Villa.

Interesting. PDP has fully crumbled. I pray Labor Party remains strong in their opposition. PDP and APC are one and same.

And this is the man that wanted to be president.

Unique283:
This is a sign that Obi may soon leave, his loyalists are leaving.

You are right. You have very good foresight.

More Updates:

There were no passport control officers in Frankfurt, he just proceeded to his gate immediately he landed in Frankfurt. No security checks at all. I think its due to two reasons:

1. He is flying from a non-schengen area (USA) to a non-schengen area (NGR).

2. He flew from a country (USA) where they trust their security checks so no need to do any security checks again

So there was no incidence in Frankfurt. He presented his expired passport and boardinc pass to the airline attendant and they allowed him board...no issues.

I'll let you know what happens when he lands naija. I'm almost 100% sure there will be an incidence in Lagos with the immigration guys...lol. But he will trash it out, na correct naija guy im be.

More Updates:

So just like I predicted, there was a little drama at the Nigerian airport. Just a little drama that my guy was able to wiggle out of.

So when he got to the Lagos International Airport, he brought out his expired Nigerian Passport and his Emergency Travel Document which he got from the Nigerian Embassy in the US. He made sure to properly fold the Emergency docuemnt so it's not visible to the Passprt control guys. His plan was to just present the passport to the immigration guys and if they question the expiration date then he will reveal the Emergency document.

However for some reason, an immigration officer spoted the folded paper was able to decipher its content! He approached my guy, and made it seem as if he was trying to help beyond his statutory duty. He took my guys passport and his emergency document. He also asked some questions which he documented avidly. He then personally made sure to give the documents to a passport officer to adjudicate. After it was stamped, he asked my guy to find something for him. My guy politely told him no.

So this is the conclusion on my guy's trip. Lufthansa has no issues with expired passport as long you have another valid ID in addition to the passport. Just make sure to get your Emergency Travel Certificate done so you can take along with you to the Nigerian immigration guys.

Update:

I know someone who just boarded a lufthansa flight enroute to Lagos. He presented both his expired Nigerian Passport and valid USA Passport to the airline at the checkin counter. Both passports were scanned and boarding pass given to the guy with no questions asked. The flight will be transiting in Frankfurt. I'll give you more update as they come regarding his flight.
