Very impressive but immediately you added official bat and started posting Dead bat pictures your wonderful narrative became a spatium.

loffyloffy:
Better quality as in the new passport dey tear and is not good enough to travel? Please elaborate.

So you prefer the old days of 25k passport, 100k bribe.

Or you are one of them, Imigration officer, getting fat at our expense

Stop crying over immigration officers
It's still the same folks that are there till now
How many of you guys have ever paid bribe to get a passport?
Those who pay do so to fast track it and that's exactly what's happening now
What's the difference is that before you pay a bribe to the immigration officials to fast track it optionally while now, you pay a bribe to the govt forcefully to fast track it
So I ask again from a citizen's perspective, what's the difference?

You just exposed yourself and confirmed what I said.
Governance by tribal bigotry and propaganda is pure wickedness

Hi

Procashtips:
They love to deceive those outside the country.

Have you taken time to check the stories of those in Nigeria on how passport renewal takes months?

They know they can be sued overthere, so they try everything possible not to be in such situation.

But in Nigeria? If you're not ready to grease palms, just go and wait for 3-9 months or more.

I got my passport within a week without bribing anyone sir. Did all the process myself. God is my witness.
Let's celebrate the few wins and criticize the wrong

It wasn't the bot that banned you, I suspect that the person you quoted used the report button on you because you were about to bust his lies...😂. Don't worry it will be released in a couple of hours.

I completed my application paid all necessary charges since 01/01/2026. My passport is no where to be produced. I have sent emails and they keep pushing me around.

Have you done the biometrics online?Have you sent the required documents with your expired passport to the embassy?

Done. All my documents have been vetted.

APC paid propaganda, morning don come. Because of 2027 election, immigration officials have remembered that they can do their work efficiently. Who is deceiving who. Vote 🗳️ right and avoid eye service by government to win elections.

The question should be if you have confirmed before saying this lubbish..

Enemies of Nigeria plz leave and go and suffer in UK pit latrine inside cold and leave our dear country

Tinubu has failed woefully

Jogs1900:
I had same experience too in the UK...£20 money order.I got mine within 5 days.I think renewal is far easier than processing for a first timer.

Mine has been on for 3 weeks now.

Jogs1900:
I think what you need to do first is to make sure the details on your NIN is the same as your details on the international passport.

£20 was for money order.Paid for 10 years renewal.


Royal Mail C4 special delivery self-addressed envelope for return delivery
The old passport (if applicable)
Payment of the £20 administrative fee, made via postal order payable to the Nigeria High Commission, London (Applicants should write their name and telephone number at the back of the postal order.)
Application forms and payment receipt
All required documents should be sent to: Nigeria High Commission, 9 Northumberland Avenue, London WC2N 5BX.

Afrojuju2017:
My wife got her passport renewed and got my kids their first Nigerian passport and it was delivered by DHL within 2 days of them going to the embassy for biometrics

I have been screaming “Omo!!” in disbelief!

Nigeria has left me in total shock!

WITHOUT LEAVING MY HOUSE, PASSPORT WAS PRODUCED IN TWO DAYS AND DELIVERED TO MY DOOR! 😱

Here’s the gist. I randomly realized that the Nigerian passport of someone VERY CLOSE to me was expiring in a few months time and we needed to get it renewed ASAP. So I took on the responsibility to get it done.

I started contacting a few folks to see if they had any “connect” at the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC or the Consulate in Atlanta, GA, because I’ve always dreaded the thoughts of renewing a Nigerian passport due to many gory stories I’ve heard about the process.🥶

Anyways, I got a few advice on what to do/some connects as well. But what stood out to me? A couple of folks said they renewed their passports without leaving their houses and got it done and sent to them in 1-3 months. Ehn!! Of course I’ve read some good stories online but as with our dear Nigeria - “seeing is believing.”😏

After much agitation, fear and doubt, we decided to use the contactless renewal system.

We filled the application online, took the biometrics with our phone, uploaded a passport photograph and boom!

Payment time! I was like “God Abeg o - I no get time to go fight with anybody for that office o” 😣🤣

We paid $230 for booklet fee and $100 for contactless fee (PS: there’s a $50 money order to be paid too). We sent the old passport to the Nigerian Consulate in Atlanta, Georgia and USPS showed that it arrived there 3 days later.

After some days, I went to check the tracking number, it was still processing but no sign of the new booklet being shipped to me yet.

Yesterday! I checked the application online portal, to my surprise, it was on the last step. I saw:

“✅ Passport Produced, Ready for Collection” and last step

“✅Passport Issued/Collected”…

I didn’t believe it and I told myself it must be an error because that was way too quick 😂

was like ahh! Let me check the USPS Mail Tracking code first … Lo and behold! It showed that the Passport will be delivered to my house that same day by evening.

I first shouted “What!!” “How”! I was in disbelief because it was too fast and too hassle-free to be true! Something that you’d need to pay bri^e and wait almost for eternity to get? And now, it’s showing I will get it so quickly without leaving my house or paying anyone?

Wait for the biggest shocker! Being curious, I checked the tracking history, and I saw that the passport was produced in only 2 DAYS after my shipped file of money order and old passport arrived the Atlanta Consulate and on the third day it was given to USPS to send to my house. And USPS delivered the old and new passports to my house safely, as seen in the photo.
So, I know we’re quick to criticize Government but this is me giving you your flowers, Honourable minister,
@BTOofficial
and the
@nigimmigration
.

I hope that other public services will be as efficient as this and that bad eggs won’t spoil this good work.

That's highly impressive. Delivery of Nigerian passports in the United States and for the larger Nigerian Diaspora is getting faster and more efficient. It's NOT rocket science when it comes to removing the inneficiences of several decades.

Nonsense campaign!

Okay o

I was as shocked but I am telling you for a fact it arrived all three passports, my wife was renewing the passport while my kids were getting new passports.
It arrived two days after they visited the embassy.

A friend who stayed at my place the day he came to do his biometric in my city as he couldn't get a date at the embassy nearest to him received his passport within 5 days.

I did
Both posting and recieving.

40 pounds in total.
Two separate special nylons as it were.

I’m in the same situation. My application has been stuck at “vetted” since 14 March when I last checked the status. I haven’t been able to reach anyone by phone, and I’ve received no response to my emails. As a result, I can’t travel for my wedding anniversary trip. This has been very frustrating
