Nigeria Is Getting Better - A Diasporan Nigerian Experience by Philomath1212: 6:48pm On Mar 02
I give Nigeria’s government a lot of stick and well deserved. But when they do right, it’s only befitting that we acknowledge it.

I applied for my passport renewal and missed my appointment for early October 2023 - landed in London from Amsterdam on the day but the time was gone. Tried to reach the commission on phone but to no avail.

Later reached out to them via WhatsApp and they asked me to come at my convenience. By then, I’d already paid for another appointment. Due to my work and life demands, I couldn’t go until last week.

So last week, I went to the Nigerian High Commission in London for capturing and my passport was sent to my house by post this week. Just 1 week. They’ve asked me to reach out for refund of the second payment and told me how to go about it. I found it all very impressive.

Kudos to the Nigerian High Commission in London and the entire staff. I’m very impressed with everything. Kudos to the minister of interior for the lovely initiative.

God bless Nigeria.

Fellow appointees of tunji Ojo still groping for wetin to chop while ojo is performing.Mandate thief started work on same day with tunji ojo but still clueless as to how to solve any of Nigeria problems ..showing Nigeria problems is 100% of brain dead idiots who believe in Emilokan and stealing power, getting there , not knowing what to do except feed into the bitterness of some fools following them with tribalism

This is a sign of the good things to come. Tinubu has started using min of interior as reference for other ministry s performance and soon excellence in governance will spread. It takes an experienced man like Tinubu to hit the ground running. Tinubu will become the best president Nigeria ever had.

Lol. You would not be you without bitter, hateful and negative rants against people or things making Nigeria better.

It is in your DNA. The Minister of interior is indeed a real nigga and probably the best, most effective, most hardworking and most transformational Minister in the Nigeria cabinet today.

No bitter and hateful rant from you can change that reality that has positively transformed the lives of millions of Nigerians.

Of course and I have shared details on NL, with verifiable facts, of my near excellent and commendable experience renewing my Nigerian passport at Ikoyi passport office under Olatunji-Ojo.

You will never be blessed hating on good people, for any reason at all, who mean and do well by others. You're not a good soul bro.

TopBanter:


Bro, I am living testimony to the amazing work of this man I never believed possible.

Under Aregbesola last year, I was told my 'express service passport would cost me around 175k. They gave all manners of excuses from scarce booklets plus this and that to justify the whopping fee they wanted that would then be shared all the way to the top.

As luck would have it, I did not need to travel hurriedly anymore and chilled. Interest arose again when Tinubu became President and I read about Tunji-Ojo clearing 200k passport issuance backlog in record time as he promised to do.

I decided to try and at least know whether the dude was real or stage-managed hype. Went to the portal, filled the form online and paid online too. 25k passport fee and 1k card charge.

I chose my own date and passport office as well. My appointment was three weeks from application date. Attended Ikoyi passport office for biometric capture and was done within two hours. A record since I have been attending any Nigerian public office.

Two weeks later, message to confirm my passport was ready. Simply amazing. A process the former Minister of interior under Buhari had concocted lies, deceit and frustrating wickedness around, I navigated easily and got what I needed relatively stress-free as obtains worldwide whereas Aregbe and his gang have made same process hell-on-Earth for Nigerians.

Of course so many will want Tunji-Ojo out of office. If he has done this in 3 months what more wonderful things is he capable of doing for Nigeria over four years?

Conversely, we all know how much money the whole entrenched immigration corruption machine, that Atiku used as a lauch pad for his billionaire status, is losing daily. Awon influential oga at the top must be livid as fck.

If Nigerians are not too divided, bigoted and myopic to note what is best for them then this is a man to fight for because even if you hate his ethnic group, religion etal then only lunatic sadists will hate the fantastic job he is doing for every single ordinary Nigeria as Minister of interior.

This is not a situation any Nigerian should misguidedly side with our powerful and evil enemies-of-progress. Nigerians should put parochial sentiments, emotions and biases aside to support someone who is giving us precisely what we want, from his administrative portfolio, that dignifies us as human beings as others have long been enjoying for decades now.

Who does not want an end to the meat market corruption process, physically and mentally, getting a Nigerian passport used to be?

We now want to go back to that instead of the promise land in March, fully automated passport issuance process with no human contact, Tunji-Ojo wishes to take us to?

If you ask me, that is the gamechanger the powerful enemies of Nigeria's progress want to prevent him achieving because such will totally destroy their access to corrupt billions they have become used to collecting for decades via the enslavement and misery of Nigerians.

You mean, your life got transformed because those at the Ikoyi passport office did what they were paid to do, which is to provide excellent service to passport applicants.

Well, I can understand that feeling. You are so accustomed to woeful service here to the extent that any resemblance to "near excellent" service means your lives have been transformed. 

It's worth your commendation, but it doesn't take away the fact that Tunji Ojo and Betta Edu stole funds meant to transform the lives of the poor.

Stop talking nonsense and shifting goal posts. An objective person will wait to hear official final deliberation about the Tunji-Ojo and Edu issue before jumping to conclusions.

We know you merely hide behind the Tunji-Ojo and Edu corruption allegation to instigate the hounding out of a performing Yoruba minister who is arguably the best in the cabinet of Tinubu.

This is precisely why I can't stand you anti-progress antagonists. Hate affects how you think and talk making you a people who, in totality, lack objectivity and decency. It is why I said you are not a good soul.

Of course the officers at Ikoyi immigration office were doing their job but same job they could not do similarly well when I got my passport there over five years that I then renewed under Tunji-Ojo.

In the past Ikoyi passport office was a meat market and cesspit of corruption where officials openly and shamelessly solicited for bribe, treated Nigerians awfully and would make ordinary Nigerians sit all day for biometric capture only to tell them to come the next day because they are trying to break the resistance of Nigerians and make them.pay 'fast tracking' bribe.

That culture has changed so much under Tunji-Ojo you would think you were in a different country. No one is in doubt Tunji-Ojo revamped every stage and process associated with renewing a Nigerian passport or applying for a new one.

Stakeholders have given evidence of their experience yet such is still "nothing" in the eyes of tour bigoted haters.

It is obvious you and your kinsmen alone, out of over 400 ethnic groups of Nigeria, make diversionary mischief over a simple case of giving an extraordinary performer his dues.

Einstein is not needed to tell us you people do this because of the hatred of other ,on account of their ethnicity and region plus sectional affiliations, that leaves you unable to grant them merited credit.

It is precisely the same thing you are all doing with Tinubu. You people are not good or Godly people. You are irredeemable haters, enemies of progress and rabid enemies of the "Zoo".
