I will be grateful if anyone could shed some light and advise on the reasons for the prolonged delay in the issuance of Nigerian Passports. My passport expired some months ago and I consequently completed The Nigerian Immigration Service Passport Renewal Application Form online as required. Following my payment of the Renewal Fees, I received the following confirmations, Application Id, Reference No and INNOVATE Order Number. The confirmation notes further instructed that I will receive a FOLLOW UP DATE from INNOVATE through my email address for MY Biometrics at the Nigerian Consulate in Atlanta Georgia USA. I submitted my Application on line more than three weeks ago and to date I have not been given a date for my Biometrics. I have been calling the Nigerian Consulate in Atlanta but the phones are never answered and one cannot leave a message. I have emailed the consulate and I am yet to receive an acknowledgement. I have also called INNOVATE on numerous occasion but I cannot get through.
I would be grateful if anyone could advise me and other Nigerians that may be experiencing severe delays on the reason for this situation and the best alternative solution.

I can certainly understand why this degree of physical and sexual abuse towards Nigerians on their own soil by our new colonial masters is shocking, the reality is that there is a history of both direct and indirect abuse by Chinese masters that provide desperately needed employment for Nigerians. Chinese companies in Nigeria are abusing Nigerians due to the consequences of the impact of a failed state and our best export "corruption". Chinese companies were granted consents to set up industries without regulatory and governing human rights laws, health and safety nor basic employment rights. The Federal and State Government officials does not monitor nor evaluate compliance because the personnel from the Ministries responsible for monitoring compliance have been compromised, the Chinese officials have bought these so called compliant officials, and in some cases these compliance units do not even exist. This situation is even worse in Edo State where the Chinese have set up glass and tile manufacturing industries where scores of young desperate Nigerians have died needlessly from industrial accidents and severe injuries. most of these desperate young Nigerians are unaware of their rights and they have been subjected to severe physical torture and abuse. The Chinese masters act like GOD like superior race and maltreat Nigerians that are seen as subhuman. Even disturbing is the fact that these Chinese companies acquire huge lands without adequate lease contracts that would add value to the environments where they are situated. They do not provide social infrastructure nor even tarred roads or energy, but they will handover used vehicles to the locals in exchange for endless acres of land and lease. As an unwanted foreigner in China you are not allowed to own land and your rights are limited, but in Nigeria we are being colonized with our young men abused and young women sexually exploited and abused. Enough is Enough Nigerians need to rise up and regain its independence from our new Masters, our Governments cannot enable this process because this would expose the nefarious alignments in high platforms. I am appealing to Nigerians with conscience to rise up and restore our indepence for those that are marginalized and have no stake in a country that has lost its soul
