Understand cost amortisation or expense allocation.

Minimum wage = N70,000
Passport cost = N100,000 validity 5 years ( 60 months ).

If the N100,000 is amortised over 60 months, the monthly cost becomes N1,667.

If you want to compare the cost of the passport with a validity of 5 years then compare it to what the person will earn over 5 years. N70,000 × 60 months = N4.2m

This has nothing to do with the cost of the passport. It's just common sense.

Lagos- calabar coastal road is not a fraud. If you have been to the section from VI which is just at the front of Eko Atlantic City, then you will know it was a brilliant idea. Travel times will so much reduced. It will relieve the pressure of the Lagos-ibadan- shagamu- ore - Benin roads. Work has already started at both calabar and Akwa ibom axis too. Nobody from south south condemned the road and the only issue raise by late Edwin Clark was for Tinubu to also start from the calabar section and he did and even added Akwa ibom section too. I just hope you are not from south east cos they are the mostly condemning it but they didn't condemned the ones which will connect their zone with north. There is no government who won't make money or even loot in the present day Nigeria, from president to even councilor if they had the chance. What nigerians need is to see it completed and nobody will be consign about the amount. No saint among the current politician. One of my neighbors from agbor is very close to obi and his wife. He his into small chops and he said obi used to frequently host parties. He was heartbroken when he lost cos he knew he would have been in Abuja with them. He was convincing people and calling Tinubu all manner of name just because of what he stand to gain personally . I told him recently that his only support for obi was because of what he want to gain not because he was a credible candidate. I ask him can he compare anambra development under obi and Soludo now. How was Awka and he didn't argue cos he knows better.
I am from Delta State and I condemned it. First it was a fraudulent contract. Secondly you abandoned all the federal road to construct what will certainly be abandoned.
The project will end up becoming a waste of resources.

That last part about "father's palour" is unnecessary and childish. I want to assume it's one of the ADC followers operating that account on their own. And for talking point like this why not release an official press statement.

Lol! Technology is meant to bring ease to the people.
An administration that is supposed to be the giant of Africa improved a process of capturing and collection and they increased the fee by 3x? Common! 3x per applicant?!

Imagine if you pay that high for all technology solutions in the nation! This shouldn't even be coming from the federal government of a nation.

They select what they copy from other nations. Please, do a research about the cost of a passport across the world. Compare it to their minimum wages, too. Even nations that has well-respected and powerful passports don't charge this high. You can use an AI tool for easy access to information. Let's stop supporting these things out of whatever allegiance.

If they continue to increase fees ehn, you may not live up to your full potentials. Maybe you've forgetten everything this administration has increase in just about 2 years

There should be a clear separation between political mindset and business mind. Right now politicians like Tinubu view Nigeria as a personal business venture, they'd likely prioritize profits over people's welfare, leading to increased prices of services and commodities, ultimately burdening citizens. undecided

So you are not aware that all utilization of funds requires appropriation under law by the legilature beforehand under the constitution? What ignorance. And you are talking about writing rubbish?
Utilisation of which fund? Does the interior ministry not have a budget? You guys like to see Nigeria as a zoo but we are not. Nigeria is a nation govern by laws. Things are done based on planning not someone just waking up and doing things overnight. The NASS has oversight functions on the ministry. If things were not done according to appropriation, someone would've been complaining. So, stop being faster than your shoes 👟

The painful part is not the taxes and levies but what they are used for at the end. They are used to further enslave the masses.
They do that through shell companies that execute hyper-inflated mega projects to be repaid by the masses via tolling and further taxation. Projects that dont really serve the masses but are forced down their throats. Look at that Lagos-Calabar fraud.
Very much on point. The level of wastages is heartless and criminal at all levels of governance. A very poor system of deterrence to wastages and corruption through very weak prosecution, confused and at worst, nonchalant attitude to this malaise. Increases in taxes, charges and levies should be prudently used, followed by proper and sincere supervision by relevant bodies.
This national assembly is one of the worst in recent times. Ridiculous approvals for white elephant projects, insertions via budget padding. Many people would still obtain this international passport irrespective of its cost, because of the perception of selfish and wicked financial recklessness on the part of managers of the economy. The level of political psychophancy is not attractive to everyone, hence many people would still make effort to obtain the passport, after all they are willing to use their life savings to travel, which amounts to millions of naira. Seasoned professionals in the academia and health sector keep resigning, just to leave this political economy.

Oga, no mind all these haters. They're playing politics with the road. Someone replying you said he's from Delta State and he's not in support of the road! Oga, don't mind him, he's a fraud! Most likely he's from one village in the SE where the road doesn't pass. The road will open more wealth to the SS. So , how can anyone from the SS be against it?

You get strength for explanation? I used to educate some misguided people here on why we oppose some govt policies and not necessary because of politics but I discovered this particular set of people lack the ability to apply common sense and I stopped.
Someone is asking Nigerians not to bother about arbitrary increase in international passport price, a legitimate means of national identification simply because those that are traveling abroad have the money to pay and its not for everybody. You can imagine the upside down logic.

Datedoboy:
Politics aside as i don't support any political party. What you don't understand is that passport is not only for japa. It is a valid means of identity even in any Country. The minimum wage earners in any country in the world should be able to afford a passport. There is no country in Europe where cost of passport is greater than minimum wage. Any country that its passport cost is more than its minimum wage is a slave camp. What this means is that the Government has taken away identity of most Nigerians.

Na who get money dey japa, 200k is even small dey should make it 500k. You get 10m to relocate and you are complaining about the price of no 1 identity to travel.
So in your little mind you think it's only those that wants to japa that travel abroad? Do you know that people also travel for medical treatment and I mean very poor people who get there money by selling off all their properties and even borrow? A citizen having a passport of his country shouldn't be a privilege but a right.

Lagos-Calabar Highway Costs 7 times more per km than Pan-African Cairo-Cape town route.

1. Nigeria’s Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, a 700 km highway.

Budget: $11–13 billion

2. Cairo-Cape Town Highway, a 10,228 km Cairo-Cape Town Highway

Budget: $1.65 billion

what is the pressure on Lagos-ibadan- shagamu- ore - Benin roads that Lagos calabar road will reduce?

are there no roads within Lagos calabar corridor?

please what is the state of those roads right now?

what will the Lagos calabar road do that existing roads in that axis will not do?

You just said it as it is. We are in a regime of government exploitation. Normally the people should cry to the Legislature for relief as arbiters but unfortunately we have foolishly accepted and supported both institutions working in cahoots so tomorrow the charges for other government services can be skyrocketed to whatever level their greed permits and we will have to swallow the bitter pill. Elections do have consequences.

What is the correlation between passport cost and minimum wage? Obi started this infantile argument. This shows his inability to critique government policies iintelligently and understand what matters in grand scheme.

Passport is a privilege for minority of people looking to travel out. Increasing price of passport is inconsequential and there are bigger issues to focus on.

It is a fraud.

1. There was no legislative appropiation.

2. It did not go through procurement (Bureau of Public Procuremement).

3. There was no public RFP/ competitive tender.

4. It was awarded unilaterally to the president's dodgy crony who is an international convict in two countries.

5. The cost is inflated.

6. It is no where near a priority and yet was made a priority.

Continue lying to urself.
D narration u gave abt ur friend benefitting from Obi, has nothing to do with corruption. D guy works for Obi legitimately. He knows shld Obi wins, he will get more jobs tell me hw dat is related to corruption to either him or Obi.

Den to spoil everything, u said Soludo has done beta dan Obi. How?? By building a new government ouse or by building Awka roads??

Obi invested more in HDI's. Education, health, SME'S. He left d state debt free,left money in government coffers, he attracted investors (Innoson, international breweries) etc into d state. He even built an economic zone for investors. He did all of dis earning 30% of wat Soludo is earning now. Up till nw, he has nva been arrested or charged by d Effc. nd u compare him to Soludo?

Obiano borrowed billions, built a Airport Dat is now a burden to d state. Or tell me hw much d airport is bringing to d state coffers currently.Stole over 98 billions according to EFCC, left d state in crious debt.
Dose are d ones ur comparing to Obi.

I know wat ur trying to do. U love corrupt politicians,nd u urself is not of beta behaviours. Dats why u want us to bliv all politicians are corrupt. Poor u!

Obi is nt a saint, bt clearly nt in d league of dose u look up to as mentors,expecially politicians.
