He who gives and he who takes are guilty of the same offence. You claim the country is bad but you are enabling the broken system even when people are toiling day and night to repair it with the introduction of online application and tracking portal.

A lizard in Nigeria will not transform to a lion anywhere in the world. You can only give what you have. Continue encouraging people to break the law because you did and it is normal to you.

Since you have quoted me directly, then I would be forced to give you an answer.

You are indeed an hypocrite.
So if your sister at home is about to miss her opportunity you will tell her not to pay to beat deadline. I will not say anything on this Issue again. I did not create the system neither would anybody claim I collected money from them.
I could have used the money I paid for something else.
Your conscience is not the same as mine. Corrupt people are making the laws and corrupt people are enforcing it.

NB: People who sleep with another mans wife, would be here claiming righteous! I rest my case!

Most importantly, to whom it may concern, if you are not the owner of this forum, stop telling people to get out of a thread, it makes you sound stup!d!

BuisnessThrills:
Pls, how sure are you about this?

I rescheduled twice because of a public holiday. First May, 2, and then May 3. I was later told that I shouldn't have rescheduled, that there is a new circular that they should capture during public holidays. I'm basing my assumption on that.

Everything in Nigeria will stress you. If you know you need your passport urgently, don't go thru the DIY route else, you might be frustrated.
Finally got my passport 2months after Capturing.
Had to sort someone to Fast-track before I could collect it.
Took just 5days after payment. Again, give yourself between 3/6 months if you want to go thru DIY route.

There are some advice you don't share on public fora even if you have good intentions. Those who know the importance of it will contact you while others who are holier than thou will criticize you.

I once posted an item for free give away on a buy and sell forum and people insulted me that I was stupid for giving it out free instead of selling it.

I hope you got my message.

People claim to have collected their passports and yet they are here looking for unassuming people to make money from.
This thread was created to help people obtain their passports the right way and do away with the wickedness of immigration officials who are deliberately maligning the system.
The minister of interior has tried to help, various times on this thread people have posted the anti corruption help line for use.
If you go to the passport office and are struggling, take the name of the officer and call the anti corruption helpline to complain right there on the spot and see what happens.
If anyone wants to wait for 1 year for passport what is your business? How does it affect the money in your account?

Also this is a lie from the bottomless pit of hell because passport payments expire in 1 year and nobody has ever waited 1 year for a passport. What sort of fear tactic is this?
If not for lack of principles and discipline can a right thinking human ever support corrupt practices?
If right thinking, you should be sad at what your home country Nigeria has turned to, not to turn around to brazenly defend wickedness.
You are a bunch of disgruntled jokers always tarnishing the Nigerian system.

Why does this only work in the south? Because southerners will always be wicked to each other. Why never shortage of passport in the North? Why dont they ask Northerners for 40,50,60, 80k for passport? Why always you fear crippled and corruption enslaved minds?

You are part of the problem why DIY will not work. If there are going to be 100 Applicants in a day, if even 80 go for diy on days 1 to 7, things will change. As the days go by, even the 100 applicants will become diy. As long as there are elements with aiding participants been the people applying for passport that continue to sabotage a system, it will not stop. Why is it not so brazen in the north?
The immigration official has no right to withold international passport from anyone.
Even on twitter, although it is hard to get their attention due to various tweets but if you send a complaint to the official NIS username and get a reply, your passport will come out. Alot of people have been helped. Get the name of the person terrorizing you in that office and call the helpline or tweet at them. It is working. Slowly but surely one might say.
Go online and see for yourself!

Imagine… even the idiotic immigration officers now come to this thread disguising.
I have gone to various passport offices, guess what??….. these officers read this thread!!! They come online everyday to check how their business is blossoming and how to continue. As long as you support their message, their wickedness gets renewed daily as they read what you all are saying here! Stop this! They are reading this thread, not heresay…

Any unethical unscrupulous element that comes to this thread to advertise for agents and their likes will surely collect. I will take it upon myself to shut all that encourage these useless acts down here.
If e sure you, write again.
Leave this thread alone!!!

So on point!! God bless you for speaking the TRUTH! I totally agree with you.

At the bolded.....am not surprised! There are spies everywhere , and monitoring spirits!!!

If we are ANGRY enough to make the "system and project called NIGERIA" work efficiently, we would not be enablers of corruption in any form or shade!

If there is no patronage, then there is no business!!! If we all DIY, the NIS will adjust and stop the extortion racket, PERIOD!!

Hello Sir. I just stumbled on this thread. I did my capturing on the 2nd of June, I just tracked it and this is what I got. Should I be worried?

If you sure you entered the right numbers then try again in a weeks time. Probably they've not uploaded the current state of your passport process.

Just shut up your dirty mouth there.
I live in North America,to renew my Naija passport has been a war.Even with begging to pay extra.Do you think most people like to bribe their way out?Hell No!
Immigration officers are one of the biggest crooks we have in this country.
I had to fly into Nigeria with an expired Passport.Before I came in,checked online to do DIY in Lagos and next capturing date was a day before I am to travel back.Even though I will be spending 5 weeks in Naija.So if I had done DIY,when will I get my new International Passport?Spend 2 more months in Naija abi?Even though I want to wait,I won’t get it.
These guys intentionally frustrate DIY.

Arrived Naija and made some connections.Did NIN in Lagos,got to Ilorin,NIN became invalid.I was scammed.Had to pay for another NIN,paid to get captured in 2 weeks and paid to get my renews passport in another 2 weeks.Making 4 weeks in total.
Cost of flight to and fro Ilorin was about 120k.
Do you think I love to spend extravagantly?No!Do I have a choice,No.
This is Nigeria for you and most Nig embassies abroad.

Just spoke to an IO now,dude was telling me if I need renewal quickly for a family friend I want to process,I should not try DIY.That it will take roughly 5 months after capturing before I can get it.Guess what?We had to do the “rub my palm while I rub yours way”

IO don’t have power over date of capturing,is what the system pull out they will give you.
To get the Passport is where they have all their powers.That’s where they make money from.
People are leaving Nigeria daily.Whonisnready to wait for another 6 months just to process Passport that ain’t certain you will get on the day you were told to come back.
They will frustrate you will come back another.

This sh*t does not happen here!!!

Kindly ignore all those quoting you.
They don’t know what is time management.
On few times,I have drove 4 hours to get captured where I am based,the keep telling me machine is faulty.Took off from work o….
That’s same set of filks quoting you will be departing from international Airport,they will still drop some token to the Officials there.

When I arrived Naija with my expired passport,those guys wanted to extort me,I showed them shege.Why?That is my country,I have power at that moment.They can’t arrest or detain me.Ors very legal to arrive in your home country with an expired passport.
Applying for renewal,they have got the power.Had to settle them.
No one likes to give bribe or rub palm.Its about situation.Knowing your strength and weakness.

Look at the way they are handling PVC.If you are a business person and want a better Nigeria.You leave your store 3 days consecutively to get it and always bounce back with no machine or stupid flimsy excuses.
Won’t you rather pay 1k and get it than losing bigger amount due to business closure?
Paying that 1k and being eligible to vote for a better candidate that will make your life and business flourish.

Nigeria is so bleeped up.
Man know man.
Connection.
Tribalism.
Nepotism.

You know you could have done the renewal 6 months before it got expired right.

Then the bolded is actually not true, I've had friends that did renewals in March and we're able to get their passport in April, all in this year going through the DIY at Alausa with no agents involved.

The day I went for my capturing there were a lot of DIYs who were there for pick up as well after receiving notifications via SMS to come pick up. There have also been several testimonials on this thread from DIYs

I think the issue here is that we make them notice we need this thing urgently which enables them create that fear and allow is bulge.

Hope you are aware there was Covid right?
The same March I tried to apply,capturing was until May.Day by day,capturing dates keeps getting extended.

If you apply tomorrow and choose Alausa,capturing is until August 2022.

Hi everyone, please, what are the requirements to renew an expired passport in Nigeria? Will my NIN be required?

Secondly, for a lady who wants to change her name on her expired passport due to marriage, is her husband's passport required for the process?

Same story, captured 07/04/22 and since then all I’ve been getting is no booklet.
