i lost my int'l passport a few weeks back and i went 2 festac passport office in lagos to apply 4 a re-issue
i was told all re issues are now done in abuja and dats really awful for me.
anyone dat could help should pls mail me or drop a contact.thanks.

NB
i need it very urgently.

Thats a big lie. Who did you meet at the immigration office? You can do your new e-passport here in Lagos.

@megastu
its a new rule,it was just passed on mid last week.
everybody at d passport office confirmed it.

what sort of a country is this. how can they make one go all the way to Abuja for re-issue when they have offices in states, do these people not think about the inconvenience they put people through. why do we nigerians always have to take this shit from these dickheads. i think we all need to boycott these institutions but the problem in nigeria is that are people ready to stand by you whe standing up against these people. President Yarafukindua goes on about improving nigeria but woth about the thugs, robbers, thieves who call themselves immigration, custom and NDLEA officers. also the issues of unemploymet, employment law in nigeria, and so on but all we see is fucking governors and party in court everyday over elections. another issue that comes to mind in that of the enforcement of paying tax without the consideration of what will provide tax. is it the unemployed, the foriegn companies operating in nigeria, govt officials (theives ITT) or the 15% of employed nigerians or the underpaid employees.

the nysc is also a nuisance whereby graduates have to wait for placements and the one who have no option but to work in order to feed yourself and results in employers paying shit money compared to someone who ave served and also doing the sam job.

i think i have to stop now cos im getting worke up

This is very funny

It could be that the oga patapatas in Abuja feel left out of all the egunje so they want everything to go through them

Was it the old passport you lost or the new e-passport?

its does not matter now if its old or new one renewer is renewer,he still need to go to Abuja,the Oga want there cut from the runsssssssssss

Goddamned inefficient sons of bitches.

I'm starting to ponder whether the people that are in the leadership positions are actually sane. No, seriously.

honeydrop:

i was told all re issues are now done in abuja and that is really awful for me.

Wow! Did you really have to go to Abuja. And is there any mention of free travel and accomodation. This is madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charles thanks for your care but how much is your own share out of the 15 thousand. Kai na wa o something i did for less than 5000. Thanks any way my uncle who works at immigration office at Obalende has done it thanks. you be one kind

My own share na , na, na, but why you wan no. Na my business i dey run. The amount way dey ontop na my knowledge of wetin and wetin you go do to get d passport without to much wahala. Even d information wey dey their site no reach am. INTERNET MARKETING EXPERIENCE no be small thing.

Hi All,

I have a 5 year passport which was issued Jan 2004. This passport is due to expire on 6th Jan 2009 and here is me trying to figure out what next to do. I've considered the e-passport option but considering the fact that I can't get some of the requirements now , esp. the Local Govt. letter and my original birth certificate, or sworn affidavit. Although I would think that someone who has been in the UK for 5 years wouldn't need those two as I have my passport, Nigerian and uk drivers licence, national ID card etc.

So my questions are:

- Would I be able to apply for renewal of passport and if yes, would it be wise to do so before the date of expiration (Note: My passport expires in 3 weeks)
- If I wouldn't be able to do the renewal of passport (ie. the stamp which can be obtained in a day by paying £21); is it safe to go ahead with the e-passport application. If yes, wouldn't it be a problem if I get an interview beyond the date of expiration of passport?

I know there is so much question in this email, but please bear with me. It feels like I'm going through all the worries similar to procurement of visa in the first place. Na wa oO! Only God knows when all this Visa and Passport worries will end self!

Cheers and I look forward to someone's kind reply.

riffy, are u sure of wat u are saying cos i need to be sure be4 I nake a move man.

Trash!

Re-Issuance of e-passport can ONLY be Authourised from ABUJA, if anyone is telling you otherwise Beware that Nigeria has gone global, PLS dont hand your money to them.

If you loose your Passport, just report to your nearest Nigerian Embassy or the Nigerian Immigration Service in your locality. Dont waste your money going through any AGENT.

If you are having problems filling the [size=18pt]E-passport Application form[/size] or [size=18pt]Guarantors form[/size], please follow this step by stem instructions:

The Re-Issuance of the Nigerian E-Passport is only done in Abuja and it cost 50k Cash. When you get to Abuja you see alot of immigration officers, go to a top ranked officer to assist you, it takes 2-4days to get it done, although I heard that the time frame has increased, it took my nephew 1month to get it done even after paying 50k.
I wish you luck.

For people wain don go Dublin, UK, France, USA, Jakpan, Korea, Malaysia watin, nah achievment to travel again? anyway enjoy touring the world
