I applied for 32 pages passport 2 months ago and was told that only 64 pages was available. I had to pay another money for 64 pages passport in order to prevent further delay. I got my passport within 2 weeks. The urgency of the passport will determine your next move.

The mistake you did here was applying online. You should have gone to their office and find someone who would help you do it. Bribe him or her also. Sadly, this is the situation which we found ourselves. My sister did her 32 booklets at 22.5 at 2018, got it within 2 days. I did my 64 booklets at 80k bribe inclusive early this year. Just know someone physically.

Lol....Wait... u mean you went online to fill form and book appointment to collect passport in Nigeria??
Guy did you just arrive Nigeria??
At least leave the country before you start observing protocol in another country where things work...

You want to block immigration officers from eating money?? They will never allow it.. something people are paying 50-60k for you want to escape by paying the normal fees.. it’s like you don’t know this people

You will end up paying more unless you know someone very high up the food chain...

If you want to get your passport on time... forget that 22k... go and meet them in the office... this period is hard.... you will pay up to 70k for normal or 100k for fast track.....

i tried to renew my passport abroad online too....

forget it....better go their office and pay....
i tried online and waited nearly 2years abroad....when nothing happened i went to the embassy and paid directly....

got a new passport in less than 2hours....

this embassy babes fine sha....

6yrs ago, when a human being was still.in charge, I got mine the same day I applied in Abuja.
I was told it takes over 2months to get one now, ven though they brought down the price.
They are doing it on purpose to keep able bodied men prisoner in the country

Coooooooooruuuuuuuuuuptioooooooooon.

Mismanagement.

Corruption again

And another corrupt.

These are the reasons above!!

I will keep saying it, Nigerians are heartless. Many of us are worst than the politicians we condemn. Those immigration guys just want to eat another money from you. What now happens to the first money your paid? Put some people for small office make you see shit them go do, ask civil servants how far.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year everyone.

To be brutally honest with you, applying for Nigerian passports online is a complete waste of time. I saw the amount you paid and smiled. In 2017, I paid 35k for 32 pages and got it in 2 weeks. People are paying over 70k for 32 pages now. The summary is that you go wait tire oh.

These are some of the NONSENSE I expected Buhari to clean up when he told us that he was going to fight corruption. After 2023, Nigerians may just realize that they wasted 8 years in Buhari.

I think some Nigerians are simply the cause of their problem... Imagine how bold people were proclaiming that they bribed their way to get a passport...
No one has paused to ask if that was a criminal offence or not... Even people were encouraging OP to find an insider and bribe them... And the same people will blame Nigeria.. meanwhile in their own little way, they were aiding and abetting crime

It was like a norm for individuals to bribe officials in Nigeria... Some might forget themselves and take that attitude abroad and land themselves into trouble...

Nigeria is a dead country. Nothing is working fine here.
I will implore all the good people of Nigeria to ensure that they get this passport by all means.

This country is totally dead.

When you apply online, you have deprived the officers from making money, so they frustrate applicants.

I had to fly >2hrs from the Midwest to DC just to renew my passport. I even missed the first day despite getting there by 8:30am. >70 pple were already ahead of me and was told they only attend to the first 50. I had to crash at my sister's in Baltimore and got there at around 6:30am the subsequent day. Yet, 10 pple were ahead of me. undecided

Everything abt 9ja is messed up by these same Nigerians. The dude that took my passport photo is Caribbean. He told me the folks back in 9ja are hoarding the passport booklet thereby making it scarce for them to obtain since pple in 9ja tend to pay more compared to the fixed amount they charge at their Embassies abroad.

Of all the foreign Embassies on that street, na only 9ja Embassy pple full outside dey queue. Others had not a single soul standing outside lest queuing.

Of course, similar 9ja nonsense na him full there. angry The problem of Nigeria are Nigerians.

Another important question is this:

Did u applied online yourself or through an officer?

Cos your case is similar to that of a person who applied himself through through online payment system.

You haven't bribed them yet, go to their office and meet them, the least you will spend should be around 50k upward, but I spent around 75k to get mine within 24 hours, NIGERIA is so damn corrupt, passport is now business to these guys.

It is unfortunate but I don't think you have to pay another money for the 32 pages, you paid for 64 pages, all they have to do is take your file to help desk and step it down to 32 pages. Simple!
Re: Why Is It So Difficult To Obtain A Nigerian Passport? (Photos) by olas24u(f): 7:11am On Dec 17, 2021
MaverickA3:
It's not possible to divert the money you paid for 64 pages booklet to get 32 pages. You paid online and receipt was generated for you. About the shortage of booklets, I believe it's the fact that the number of applicants in recent years have increased largely and the production of booklets has not been increased to meet the demand. About the time duration of fresh passport, under a normal circumstance, your passport should be ready in 6 weeks from the day of application.
Nigerian passport is imported ,simple ,nothing like production this production that,exchange rate affects that item.
