One of the hypothetical questions she raised concerned divorced women.

Ok..

I see.

BluntCrazeMan:
Nobody trusts the government again in Nigeria.

Even when they sounded so clear..
We still doubt them.

I know what my mom went through when she went for her first passport
Maybe they have changed now, because that was years ago, but the thing was very very annoying
They had to refer to my dad because they bear the same surname and she is married

I don't know of renewal
But I know of first issuance and even that is stupid
So many misogynistic laws baked into the Nigerian immigration laws, and generally immigration laws, and its so ridiculous

dahmie2013:
A high display of professionalism by the NIS. Very commendable.

Honestly, I am very impressed with their response. I can see the effect of Tunji-Ojo all over this. A typical Nigerian government agency will ignore her rants. The Immigration Service has earned my respect.

A lot of Nigerians do not understand just how demeaning some of our immigration laws are.

The requirement outlined below was only dropped by the NDLEA last month, for instance.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced that married women are no longer required to submit a letter of approval from their husbands when applying for a visa clearance certificate.

The certificate, which confirms an individual has no drug-related convictions in Nigeria, is a prerequisite for entry to certain countries.

Previously, the NDLEA mandated that married women include a “letter of approval to travel from their husband, attached with his passport photograph.”

This rule did not apply to men, which led to criticism online, particularly after an X user posted a viral complaint calling the policy “discriminatory” and “government-sponsored misogyny.”

Kids need father permission to get passport

Not parents o, like mom and dad

Father's permission
So if the father is not available, or estranged from the woman, no passport for the kid under 18
That country is just led by morons

And divorced woman who wants to change her data to single/ maiden name must 1st bring decree absolute.....announce to the whole world through newspaper advert that she has divorced B4 getting data changed on passport.... Na WA o

They intended to use that method and get the identity of the Husbands of such ladies, so as to be such the ladies are not married to drug dealers.

This made the women free from being under their search radar too..

But then,, it had translated into something else.
Like, as if they are doing the men some biigg favour.


..
The People Won Again.
Government will always come up with policies that has hidden dirty intents underneath them.

Just the way she brought Newspaper Publication to announce to the whole world that she married naa.

Okay


Guys beware!

Better, because I don't know how foolish a country can be to have even thought of that in the first place. Imagine, you did Sim registration, yet when your Sim card gets missing, they will still be demanding heaven and earth to retrieve it as if they don't have your finger prints, NIN and every other needed stuffs in their database earlier. They can even ask you for the length of your last conversation and recharge card you loaded last. Are all these not childish when you already have all my data and passport photograph during Sim card registration?

Na this one dey tire me pass. The questions for sim retrieval be like Jamb questions.

Ever since you were born, have you ever uttered words of positivity or blessings on your country Nigeria? Day in day out, you curse your land of birth, without knowing you are indirectly cursing yourself with wretchedness and failure in life.
Be guided and stop being foolish

This is fair enough

I thought this was later revoked in less than 24 hours after the outcry?

Maybe the immigration officer that attended to her wanted her to drop something.
However there is still a lot of requirements that are just not necessary and still discriminatory. Like why will a man transfer citizenship to his foreign wife with their naija wife's card and the women cannot get some sort of card for their foreign husbands. Why will my husband need to get a visa anytime he wants to visit my country? When Nigerian women are ready, we will talk about it.

Have you ever seen or heard me curse Nigeria? Africans and their mentality sha. Once you criticize one nonsense policy or the other, they turn it to religious stuffs. How then will the country get better? People who think like you is the reason why the country is as backward as this up to date.

Imagine, you see me sitting in front of you with my finger print still on my palm and my face still intact, not transgendered, yet you are still asking me for five friends I call regularly and the amount of airtime I recharged last. That is a great height of nonsense.

🤣

I know her narrative was plain stupid and it was a bait for some weak folks to fall into and they fell for it.

Anfieldboss:
As usual, women are always quick to jump to conclusions without verifying facts

It seems you have never been to a Nigerian passport office. Try it as an "ordinary citizen", without connections and see what experience you will have at the end of the day. And the worst is that there is nothing you can do about it.

Why ask for certificate of local govt of origin? The fact that I am a Nigerian isn't enough?

Thats not true, once your nin is attached your sim gets replaced immediately. It is if you had visited a road side vendor to buy the sim intially or to attach nin with street vendor,then you will have such issues.

Oga do well and stop been superstitious. Una refuse to build strong institutions. Una carry tribalism for head lie gala. And you are talking of pronouncing blessings on Nigeria. You should rather pray for someone that will show up and sanitize things .

How come you are so quick to believe the Immigration service?

Have you asked any other married woman what their experience was?

Considering that no other govt has told so many lies to the people in it's first 18months as Tpains....

....You sound like a zombie or an urc..n!

BluntCrazeMan:
For all those people who were venting on the other thread,, here is the Other side of the story..

So,, you need to be well informed and be properly guided, especially as you go to the Immigration Office next time (as a married woman) to renew your passport.

...



..
***Meanwhile..

For a married woman who had changed her surname to her husband’s surname earlier,,, I hope she shouldn't be required to provide her husband’s passport-page again-and-again everytime she wants to renew.??

According to our Nigerian Constitution,, Nigerian Citizenship is not obtained through marriage (whether for men or for women)..


So, if foreign women are being granted Nigerian Citizenships because they were married to Nigerian men, then that's a big anomaly..

It's because they have those records of yours through your activities with the line.
So they want to confirm those records.

Arostar2023:

“Religion” and “Beliefs” make us to believe that we can pray anything and everything into existence.

Why is immigration even descending to answer someone whose handle is “vaginal”?

They could have made the public announcement without referencing her post.

More training is required in the etiquette of public communication by corporate and govt bodies
