Nigerian mother needs to get passport for Nigerian child. Passport offices says that they won't process without the father's input. The problem is, the father (more appropriately called sperm donor) cut and ran when the mother got pregnant, never to be seen again. How is this right to visit the sins of the father upon the son, to the point where the son can't get a passport?

The grandfather can't stand in, as he is deceased. Surely there must be another option for the mother?

Put up an advert with cash reward and he surfaces or tell them the father is late or sperm donor

The mother tried informing them that the father has abandoned the child. They suggested her own father stand in, but he is deceased. It seems the concern is they are worried that mothers will take their children away from the father when wahala happens, but in this case the father ran away as soon as he was informed.

Surely there is something that can be done is situations such as this.

In this case, the mother would have preferred a responsible biological father. That not being the case, she wants her son child to have opportunities in life. It would seem that if a father can't be found, the child wouldn't be denied a passport, as it is no fault of the child. Is there not a provision for such an occurrence?

No...so long as women dehumanize men and expect favors. U get marriage benefits while married..u don't have children outside wedlock and expect sanity. No end in sight.
