Toh! 🤷

I sense frustration inside her complain.

Kyrx:
Why is this woman inciting an unnecessary gender conflict just to evoke emotions?

I'm an immigration officer, and much of what she wrote is inaccurate. The NIS does not require your husband's identity while processing a standard renewal. Such is only requested for in a situation whereby you're changing your surname either due to marriage, divorce or death.

So asking for such in the above circumstances aren't out of place, you can't just decide to change your surname without providing additional documents to back it up aside the birth certificate & local government identity.

This is an unjustified victimization of the service.

Oga we hear you but everywhere in the world a marriage, divorce or death certificate will suffice not a letter from a third party hence I was so offended I kept my maiden name on my passport.

How's this madness, please?

Let's ask questions before demonizing the process.
Process? Is the husband also going to take permission from wife before renewing passport or it's only the female gender?

She ended it with direct insults.

You are not matured enough or experienced to understand her pains. So get off your high horse and allow people who are in her shoes to address the matter.

You're not getting my point.

No one is asking for unwarranted permission to have your passport renewed, however, in a case of change of name due to marriage, divorce or death, a supportive document to back up your application which you wrongly termed as permission is needed. If nothing is required at all, any woman can claim to be married to whoever and start bearing his surname.

It is standard practise to ask for documents to avoid legal issues. Nigerians are criminal minded. You go see person wet change name carry children travel without informing the husband. These things are necessary abeg
...
Nigeria has to streamline their passport issuance processes especially the Change of Data categories to avoid these issues. It involves reviewing agreement with technology partners and having direct access to database to correct these anomalies

There's nothing like a letter from a third party but rather an application letter written and signed by you stating why you're changing your name, and the identity of the person who has the name you're changing to as the back up document with any of the docs you listed up there.

I hate to be the one to say this, but things don’t work that way. We can all act woke and say whatever we feel, but the reality is that men and women are not equal. Husbands and wives are not equal, especially in Nigeria.

Women can’t get what they want by just complaining. You put in the work, and then you get results. So, what are Nigerian feminists doing? Nothing, yet they want everything men have.

When Adichie found herself among top Igbo men, guess what she talked about? Why women don’t break kola nuts. Another time, it was why women don’t eat gizzards. Petty, trivial things.

Essentially, the jobs women did 100 years ago are the same ones they’re doing today, albeit in more conducive environments, thanks to infrastructures built, serviced, and maintained by men. About 90% of the world’s infrastructure has been built and maintained by men, so where’s the equality?

When these people clamor for equality, they’re asking for a 50% share of what men have built, not for opportunities to start something from scratch on virgin land.

Do I want women to renew their passports without unnecessary stress? Absolutely. Is it injustice because her husband doesn’t go through the same stress? Not at all. You build a system, you make the rules.

If to say na women build the world as e dey today, I swear na for Sudan dey go park all men put and enjoy the rest of the world.

Very anyhow people

There are deep rooted flaws in how Nigeria is structured. This is the reason a questionable character like Tinubu who lacks basic knowledge about governance and the economy is president today
What concerns Tinubu with this? Some of you are just so daft that you can't comment without bringing Tinubu into it. So a two term governor of Lagos State and a former senator is who lacks basic knowledge about governance? Why not present yourself for elective post and let see how far you can go?

Your paid advocacy work for the govt shouldn't provoke you to leave your brain at home.

Continually defending every single act by every single govt body is an exercise in stupidity because when said govt body decides to retract their steps, you will still drop posts supporting the new decision claiming it is the sign that Tpain is a listening President (after attacking the original complainants lol).

The basic matter here is 'should a married woman require permission from her husband to renew her passport?'

That you ignored the basic issue and went about ranting about something that isn't hypothetical as you claimed as thousands of woman are in that situation right now - is a critique of your intelligence quotient and nothing more.

Once you are married as a lady you no longer own yourself bcs you have been bought and fed by the man undecided and let this sink as long as men are the one climbing on top of you lady men remain the head. So no married woman owned herself her dead and living body belongs to the husband here in Africa and that's why women are mostly buried in their husbands backyard and not in their father's house whenever they kissed the dust undecided
Real Men are kings even the SIMPs are sometimes called daddy grin

Thank you so much for this clarification. I just knew something was wrong with the story. Especially when I saw the "in the middle of a divorce" part, I knew she is just embittered.

You know say women dey act irrational when dem dey quarrel with their spouse

If no DV, why you wan divorce, well except for cheating or something

maybe she is trying to change back to her fathers name in applying for passport renewal, that could make them to request for something else

The woman wowo sha, no wonda the man self no send am again

that being said, she should reach out to other women that have renewed their passports lately so they can put her through

Don't mind her, she wants to change her name, that's why the requirements are that stringent. Obviously she's in the middle of a divorce.....

You know this is one of the reason why I agreed that social media should be regulated in Nigeria. You can just wake up one day and believe that you can insult anyone at will. To comment also on issues you must be experienced about such a topic of discussion. The main reason why federal government is introducing this policy is to control the embarrassing business of the uncultured Nigeria women which is giving the country a bad name. Travel outside Nigeria and see the useless prostitution job that 75% of Nigeria women who travelled out is doing. They are so cheap than dogs outside the country
. From Ghana to Mali, Libya to Cameroon, Togo to Benin, Dubai to Italy. Name it they are all over the world doing useless dealings and this is why the federal government is introducing this policy. Which indeed is the best one. I know few of them will still escape this process but at least it's controlled. So this one ranting here is the chairperson of their association. Simple
