ASHLAND:
Everyone that has passport passes through this extortion at passport office. With the evidence in this video, everyone that has access to social media suppose to post it everywhere with bitterness until it reaches the right authority. We should use the social media to help ourself; the guy has done a part by recording the incident. Nigeria media houses are not doing good either; if this incident happened in America, all media houses will report it, and even invite the head of the departiment for verification, until it become a big case. Let us try our best to make sure someone get fired on this issue.

you have spoken the truth. but listen to hypocrite by falz you will realize that most Nigerians are hypocrites. moral relativism is problem of this country. lecturers pirating academic papers will expel students for malpractice. parents who are dishonesty in places of work who scold or beat their children for lying. Most Nigerians see bribery,nepotism etc as norms. Most believe you have to 'settle' to get things done. Do you expect traffic agents who extort motorists not to bribe immigration officers? Most people who complain about corruption had or still being involved in some of corrupt practices-examination malpractice, financial fraud, illegal abortion, drug abuse etc. yes, most are motherfuckinghypocrites.

My neighbour is going through the same ish at Their Umuahia office,infact the issuer isnt picking his calls anymore only to involve thE police who it seems works hand in hand with them.
What can he do?The agent who he paid #30k to claims his data is already captured so he cant Go to anyother immigration office for a fresh one and thst he will never smell the passport for calling the police.
2 mths plus now?
In this era of media trials. He should post the picture and full name of the officer on all social media platforms and tell the story there. Since the immigration officer is bent on frustrating him, he might well tarnish his career and name on social media, that is if the thief officer gives a hoot.

You should have posted it on social media including tweet to some media houses; probably an authority could have picked the situation. LET EACH OF US TRY OUR BEST TO CHANGE NIGERIA.

What about the national drivers license. Official price on the internet is 6250 for 3yrs. When you get there, you pay atleast extra 5-10k to fastrack the process.
I paid a total of 17,250 to get the one for 5years.

@DavSagacity The fact that your passport was issued in the rock city of abeokuta caused you any headache while travelling? Cos I still wonder why we all are always bent on getting it from Lagos, Abuja where these immigration officers milk us dry.

DavSagacity:
I did mine in their Abeokuta Office In April 2018. I paid 37k. I collected it 3 weeks after. While a man that got there after me did data capturing the same day before me and collected his passport right in my presence while I was asked to come back after a week to check if it is ready . When I tried to ask question how come the person that came after me collected his passport immediately .,,their response was " Did u pay the amount the man paid."....?

All the corrupt officials should all be fished out and let them be made scape goats.
STOP THIS, MAN AND DON'T PRETEND AS IF EVEN YOUR MASTER KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT. SINCERELY SPEAKING, EVERYONE EXPECT OUR INSTITUTIONS TO BE WORKING RIGHT BY NOW WITH ALL THE SHOUTS OF 'FIGHTING CORRUPTION', BUT THEY JUST GET WORSE THAN EVER EVEN WITH ALL PMB'S RELATIVES OCCUPYING HEAD POSITIONS OF ALMOST ALL INSTITUTIONS.

It is normal now. Just walk into the office and see the way the vultures rush you right from the entrance. If you still have hope in Nigeria getting better anytime soon. Then your must be Joseph the dreamer.

I so scolded one very recently at Benin. After passing many loitering officers under the tree within the office. "Keep asking, oga what can we do for you. You wan do passport, etc". And I just said no to all. But on a second thought, I decided to answer the main guard at the very entrance in affirmative. See wahala oh. The poor looking guy was bent on taking me to his friend.
And i said, officer thanks. I want to go through the right office. He was even tempted to preventing me from proceeding. When I questioned the legality behind that, the guy just tired with face like someone that is about to miss his jackpot. He frustratedly said, go that office there. grin grin

Nigeria is gone

Everything is gone. Every system is corrupt.

Take a look at yourself in the mirror and make s change. We all are same, let anyone of us here get a job as an immigration officer and posted to a passport office instead of him or her to condemn his or her colleagues it is to tow the line because of the extra cash to be made, we don't want to make a difference and we all want a better country.

This story illustrates what I have been saying for a long time now about the meaninglessness of any “anti-corruption” effort that limits itself to prosecuting a few top (opposition) politicians while doing nothing about the rampant corruption lower down the scale which touches on the lives of everyone.

Why do passport offices need to be stuffed full of under-employed, underpaid “workers” who do little more than extort and bully anyone who needs a new passport? Why not automate the entire process by making it online only, and then firing the vast majority of these parasites? Is it that Nigerian politicians and civil servants have no idea how things are done in well run countries, or do they just prefer to leave a system in place that allows them to hand out “jobs” to their relatives and camp-followers, where these can then impose themselves on the general public?

The simplest way to radically shrink corruption in Nigeria is to simply slash the public sector and eliminate the positions that create opportunities to practice corruption. All the money currently being wasted paying salaries to so many leeches could be diverted to fixing the country’s infrastructure, and in the meantime the handover of most government activities to the private sector would radically improve the quality of the services provided. The same old “fear and punishment” techniques that have always been used in Nigeria will never suffice to do the trick.

Most Nigerians don't like standing up against what is wrong and that is why evil continues.

If you check, those corrupt immigration staff have built giant duplexes and are living large.

The worse part is that the political class will go to this same office and get theirs for the official price of 17000.
