What percentage of Nigerians travel, or apply for passport that you are quoting population of 100million.
Even people in remote areas drink and smoke.

The US with a higher population and greater percentage of travelers suffers passport scarcity too?

You really know a lot.
1. you really need to go watch "How's made" on YouTube. a factory can make over 500k cigarette and beer per day X other numbers of producers. it easier producing this than passport booklets.


2. How will you be comparing US to Nigeria. that's a big comparison.. A) in US they vote from home, here can you vote from your home?.
B) US produce their own passport booklets, here it's outsourced to a firm based in Malaysia..


you really don't know anything

My candid advice: if you live in the east, go to the Abakaliki office. You will get it within three hours if you are early. I did mine in January and got it same day. Mind you, many people know what I'm writing here and that is why that branch is always crowded in the afternoon. People from sister states and south south troop in every day. Interestingly, they don't charge more than the specified price although you can still fast track yours with little inducement if you want. Those officers are up and doing. And they treat you as humans.

You are telling a process engineering manager with career in brewery, Tobacco industry to name a few to go watch how it is made.


I already told you it’s inefficiency on the part of the government and the excuses you are making ain’t tenable and you just buttressed that with your post. If you want me to join you in making excuses for inefficiency and mediocrity I won’t do that.

You know the precision and centerline you need to produce those items u mentioned?

What’s so special about paper booklets.

You really know a lot.

Because Nigeria is not truly independent

Our Election materials others print for us
Our Naira others print for us
Our international passport others print for us

How then can we pretend to be independent

Imagine USA, UK, France, Canada etc Not printing their own currencies, election materials, International passports etc

They will be subject to foreign or external manipulation

This is part of the reason we are "third world", "failed state", "banana republic" etc.
The passports materials are printed in Malaysia. That's the problem. So we have to wait for Malaysia to send it to Nigeria.

How many people apply for passports daily? This is something you do every 5 years on average and not everyone even renew theirs that often. How many people smoke a day how many people drink beer daily divide that by the producers we have.

We have just one major producer of cigarette in Nigeria operating a single factory that supplies not just Nigerians but other west African countries as well, yet you don’t hear of scarcity of cigarettes.

Keep basking in mediocrity.
there are then of cigarettes brands out there. there are tens of different brands of beer. there is 50 sticks of cigarettes and 25 bottles of beer per day for persons who smoke or drinks that these factories can produce.

if 1000 persons apply daily only in Lagos, you get 310k person per month X 12 months.
result of that X 36 states X 12 months. so the Math. even when some don't need it to travels. they just still need it to do one or two things.

Where did you get your stats that 1000 apply per day in Lagos. Most of the people you see at passport offices in Lagos are peeps having to come back every now and then to hustle for their passports. Thereby Creating a traffic there, as a result of inefficiency.

But I know someone dt captured in ikoyi 2weeks ago and got it last week.
The whole thing come tire person
I believe leg pass leg for this express thing
The booklet can all not finish at the same time in all locations. There are definitely some1 hoarding some somewhere. But there's a general scarcity of booklets in d country right now.
My contacts in Osun and ibadan confirmed that they received some booklets this week. But because it's not enough, the hausa-fulani guy incharge in ibadan was just insulting and fighting every one that came into his office for passport. He was just feeling too important because of the yeye scarcity.
And was cornering the few for his cronies I believe
Even when it was available everywhere, we still paid for express to get it fast with minimal stress

there are tens of companies producing cigarette and beer. there are over 50 different producers of cigarettes and beer with one producer making more than 10 different brands

so compare that with only one organisation printing the booklet for a population of over 100m..

so what are you saying about scarcity of beer or cigarette?. you no Sabi anything
So what is stopping our Government to contract more companies to print something they are to generate revenue from? I no even know who no sabi anything between our government and u seff undecided

The Tobacco Industry
Around 6.5 trillion cigarettes are sold around the world each year, which translates to roughly 18 billion cigarettes per day. It is a lucrative industry and one that makes its fortunes largely off the backs of the poorest people in the world, both in terms of supply and demand.

Of the estimated one billion smokers in the world

your matter hard, can you produce 6.5 trillion passport booklets per year in the world?

The owners of Nigeria only travel during Hajj..
90% of travels outside Nigeria not connected to religious issues are done by Southerners..
Abuja doesn't care. You might think I'm joki, but poke the surface and you will find out that the Truth is not all tht far
