Bro instead of applying on the website, you should have looked for an insider that will help you run everything and you will get the passport within a day. When I did mine at Abeokuta, I got my passport in less than 8 hours. In fact, the delay was because I did not arrive at the appointed time the guy gave me.
The truth is those officers are running a criminal syndicate, you going to the official website to apply is depriving them of bribe, bro rub shoulders with one of them and you will get it in less than 5 hours.

I did mine in 2016 and the total cost was #36,000 but on the official site at that time, it was less than #20,000. HOPE YOU GET MY POINT.

I repeat my fresh application at Ikoyi in 2014, applied on Monday picked it on Wednesday.

Renewal at Alausa office around April, I paid for 64 pages after waiting for a week they said it's due to lack 64 page booklet. They said if I need it urgently all I need is to write a letter to pick the available 32 page instead while stating in the letter that I'm not being coerced to switch and I'm ready to forfeit the difference in price. I picked the 32 page booklet the day after writing this letter I didn't pay any additional sum.
Alright

The site is a scam! They do not reckon with online applications since it would yield nothing for them.
Better you visit a less crowded state office like Akure, Osogbo, etc. in person.

I applied for 64 pages/ 5 years and collected two days after capturing in Abuja Sha. I paid 35k to the immigration account online (why is yours lower?). Getting it after 2 days required some small change from my pocket but it saved me the stress of this kind of your thinking about when you'll get especially as it's urgent.

Paid 50k and it was out in 1 week..

It is best one goes to their office to get the passport done rather than doing it online. . .
BTW those immigration officers are very corrupt. Most if not all though

You made a mistake. In Nigeria there is nothing like due process. How do you expect the thieves on ground to make money, if you are doing the process online? They will frustrate you. Go to their office and pay what you are asked to pay, and get your passport if you really need it. Nigeria is a damned country, it's redemption is light years away.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is for now.

That is the corruption Aregbese can not solve with Buhari.
Something as easy as water even in Ghana is now money spinning in corrupt invested country. Their grouse is that you paid online the exact money. Go there one day, you will see how many will collect same 64 pages in your presence. Our wickedness due to money is out of this world.
Everything under Buhari is difficult. grin angry

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.

When was this ? My passport is expiring this month and I tried paying for and looking for appointment online but they don't have any appointments open even till March next year. Are you saying I don't need appointment. Can I get it same day if I get there at 6am. I am coming from midwest as well. Hoping to catch a midnight or very early morning flight and be there at 5 or 6 and be back home same day

The truth about the matter is even if you had requested for the 32 pages you would have gotten same response.

What those official wanted you to do is cine request for it unofficially and u ll get it in Las than a week but this time you would be paying X3 the amount you paid online.

This is how corrupt the system has been

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.....
You mean am?
I met a long time friend recently who owns a biz center. He told me he filled online and got it after a while. Did same for another friend and his wife.
Location is Delta

the mistake you made was trying to do the online thing for naija and there is nothing wrong with that in a sane environment but maybe you dont know how we roll. The ochins at NIS will has sabotaged the system so you can always come to them and that's how I did my runs ooh. I dont know the state you are, that's if you are in naija, in case you are in lagos I can give you a contact in case you dont have so you can get your kpali, only that now you have to get appointment for capturing unlike before when you can get capturee same day you submit you data form. Anyways send me a msg if you need this help. Thanks and goodluck to you .
