You thought you are wise by undergoing the process of registration at the comfort of your home...Wisdom and over sense fails in a corrupt system like Nigeria..
The immigration price at their office is 45k..When you pay they process it.Send you NIN confirmation text. Then ask you to come for verification..Mind you, the immigration staff that helped you to pay the 45k will work things for you sharp sharp till capturing even..
Now you will pay double coupled with delays..You get your passport by May/june 2022..
That is if you continue to register online yourself..
It took me 3wks to get 3passport..My baby was just 1month and couldn't capture at the NIN...If not,it would have been 2wks

I can see you paid online cheesy, they will frustrate you so much that you may never even see the passport. Go to the immigration office, you will see them receive you happily if you dress well and act well. Tell them you need it speedily and they will give you the price, just tell them you will appreciate them ....watch them produce your passport in 2 weeks. A lot of Nigerian officials are corrupt but they choose to blame Buhari

I feel your pain bro. Same thing happened to me earlier this year. After paying in Ondo state, I was told they had no booklet. I was then referred to Ekiti and I had to spend several weeks travelling to Ekiti just to get my IP.

The truth is not far fetched. It is deliberate because the rate at which Nigerians (youths especially) are leaving for greener pastures is alarming and becoming serious embarrassment to the government. Do you know how many doctors, nurses and masters students that left this year alone! Ministry of interior has placed embargo on the number of passports that could be issued in a year. I got information from the rightful source that this year's quota was already exceeded around August so no passport printing till next year. Also,there is circular secretly passed around all higher institutions that transcripts should be made extremely difficult (if not totally frustrating) to get, they believe vibrant youths are jetting out en mass and it's a serious shame to the politicians. Except your parents are highly placed and ready to cough out money, i doubt you getting passport or even transcript on time.

Story for the gods, they should enjoy the country they balkanized for their greed and allow people to go countries that understand what governance is all about

Well the issue about passport in Nigeria is basically about power play. Some folks want to take over the printing process from the former contractor who contract duration never expired.
I remember applying for a new passport in Dec 9TH 2015 and got it the same day at the Abeokuta NIS office. As a matter of fact lots of folks came from Lagos to get their passport that day. I paid N25K to the NIS guy that i was refereed to via a friend. The cost of the passport was actually 17k or so then.

The uselessness, and administrative failure of the present administration is making living in Nigeria and been a Nigerian a hell on earth

People like you are the ones making the country worse... "You thought you are wise"..... For going through due process and not supporting corruption??

I wonder the kind of morals and values you would be instilling in your kids anyway Sha one day those who can't afford that 45K which you could , would come eat your kids and destroy your shops and businesses and all you think you have laboured for....


We should be supporting the digital way of going through the portal , Christians and Muslims sinning the most!

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.


Let me burst your bubble..........it's possible to divert the money........I did my capturing on Sept. Immediately they saw I did the online stuff, their demeanor changed. They were like why I go do am online, as I saw they wan they stress me, coz I was told I have to come back twice before the capturing, I made a single mistake on the form and was told to go and make another payment. I just call one of their Oga.....to cut the long story short, they made the corrections of the error(something they said it's not possible unless I pay another money), I did the capturing that same day......though I had to grease their hand with 11k eventually.

Brings to mind my experience in 2016/17.
Applied Dec ‘16, got my booklet July ‘17.
A colleague paid for ‘express’ 4 weeks ago, the official he used has refused to pick his calls for a week now.

It is very hard to obtain a Naija passport because of Buhari

The Abokki basterd has basterdised everything.

In Kogi, it cos 60k and you'll get it in one week.

It's not because of Buhari it's because of the ppl working in those estaishments
