See How Long It Takes To Obtain Nigerian Passport (photos) by Melagros(op):
COMRADES, when you visit the passport issuance department of the Nigerian Immigration Service and see prospective travellers you must definitely pity them

On 01/12/2025, I approached the Nigerian Immigration Service, applied and paid in full for the passport, (NIN, other documents, intact), since then, it was one flimsy excuse to another until March 10th before I collected my passport!

The first application photo was mine. After a lengthy delay, then they used someone else's photo on my document, when I discovered it online, I went back to them and rejected it and all their explanations, my concern was that; what of if the photo they attached to my document is a wanted person? Probably, wanted by the CIA, NDLEA, EFCC, the police etc.

FIRST PHOTO: is mine, Dated 01/12/2025

SECOND PHOTO:...the unknown person, Dated 03/02/2026

THIRD PHOTO: passport collected after a 3-month delay.

The extra charge is compulsory whether you like it or not, I spent nothing less than 170k for the cost of 100k. Minus transportation, psychological trauma, and stress. The immigration officers including all the other Nigerian security officers are extremely corrupt
I don't know where they learnt the corrupt practices from, is from the religious bodies (clerics) or from our political leaders. Honestly, I don't know

No, I paid the money into the personal account of the corrupt officers

The money which I've over spent wasn't my problem, but the delay was what infuriated me
