Cost of passport was increased to 30k in 2014, when minimum wage was 18k. What did Obi say about it then. If you want it, it means you can afford it. Most of you crying here haven't been to the immigration office in your life, talk more or wanting to get a passport.
He is not crying for the ordinary Nigerian earning 70k, same with his followers..
For anyone who has an opportunity to travel out of Nigeria, international passport wouldn't be what holds him or her back.

How many Nigerians need passport? Even those who need it are much okay that's why they need it.
The worst thing I've heard this year is someone comparing a 5 years passport at N100k with 70k monthly minimum wage.
Is this the messiah we are looking for? Does Obi think people who know what they are doing are going to fall for this bull$h!t?

Tinubu is nothing more than an irresponsible tax master.

He knows nothing more than to tax, burden, and disturb ordinary Nigerians with his draconian policies.

The man is a l0$er
Complete looser. 😡 He is called "the tax collector" for a reason.

Nope! Currently Nigerians are in bondage from these wicked crop of evil leaders of oppression, suppression, repression and retrogression
Nigerians were never in bondage from these wicked evil leaders. Nigerians are in bondage cus they chose to be in bondage from year to year while hoping the zoo will be great one day. Nigerians will ever remain in bondage as long as the average Nigerian in bondage is ready to be unbondaged .

Two wrongs don't make a right. The current leaders are blaming previous leaders for putting the nation in a bad shape, but the same leaders are doing worse. There's nothing wrong in increasing the price of a nation's passport as the world evolves.
This current administration has increased it twice in about 2 years in office. Do you know the effect of a N10,000 increment in a single passport of a nation? Good income! Now imagine over N70k per application! That's extortion, and an abnormal profit, no cap!

You and I don't know the plans they have in the remaining tenure as well as the 2nd tenure run. If the citizens don't speak, this government is at liberty to increase anything as much as 1000%.

Come to think of it, this administration has increased the price of everything causing a multiplier effect across everything in the country.

It's not a matter of Obi or a case of tarnishing the current administration, it's a way of telling the government to rethink their policies. It's a cry on the standard of living of the citizens. The costs are being parsed all at once on the citizens. People want to make good progress in life and the government can help with that without a direct intervention.

If you were to move 30 bags of cement from point A to B. When they start loading it for you, if you don't say, "this is enough weight for me to carry to point B" they will load all on you and you will crash without moving to point B.

With all of these increments here and there, the government is still heavy on loans!

It’s the poor who can not even afford the old price that cries more about this passport price hike. The real guys who needs the passport can not complain about the hike. Empty barrels make the loudest noise.

Obi is just a boy fit enough to sell things in Onisha Market and other spare part shops all around! How can he be talking about price of passport at this age! What Nihgeria actually need taht politician are slefishly not doing is equitable distribution of wealth of Nigeria. Take for insttance has Obi talk about take home pay of Senator/HOR Memebers, retirment salary and other percucites of ex Governors of which he is one. It is not enough that you are not taking what memeber of your party. Stop deceiving Nigerians Please

Is this not the same man that increased tuition fees in his state. Didn't it occur to him then that he was placing burden on the citizens? This man is indeed an hypocrite and a liar

The East, the South and North were independent with great governance until terrorist Lugard and his Fulani herdsmen with his girlfriend invaded Africa ended up kidnapping and destroyed the East, the South and the North's Independence...

Obi means so well for all Nigerians but it's so unfortunate dat some persons are having their own different opinions.

it is APC vs Nigerians in 2027
cool
And he failed to mean well for Anambaraians that he went on to increase their poverty. School fees were astronomically increased. He don't have anything to offer. Yes Tinubu shouldn't have increased it from the current price. Citizens should be able to enjoy some benefits as a Nigerian. Don't ever call obi as a messiah cos his now hypocratic supporter who criticize him back then as governor of small anambra that he couldn't transformed.

Burden continually placed on the people through increments as the clock ticks.
The only idea of this government.
Tinubu vision is to increase hardship in every angle possible.

It's not about passport is about the way Tinubu is increasing things....it's just common sense na
