@micfranc4@ib_Ailen Smh, appointment by paddy paddy, this is the result. This is how you know they don’t care , not even for the next generations… Momo is quarter to go, her only worry is paying taxes to the govt, and those who want her position, nothing else matters.
@NigeriaStories For the sake of your peace of mind do not invest in Nigeria, I repeat do not invest in Nigeria it is not a country, it will not protect you or your investments. A word is enough........
@ObaSapy@NigeriaStories Can your Nigerian professors use Excel? Do we have any schools in Nigeria that will loan laptops to students for studies? People make more than 245k weekly with secondary school certificate. Tackle the root of the problem.
@ChuksEricE What a shame.....rinse repeat rinse repeat....they are all thieves that's why he got no answers. God bless you Rufai for those questions, you are a professional without doubt.... Nigeria sorry oooh!!! Professor in practice.
This short post is for the attention of all Nigerians and also for the attention of the honorable minister @BTOofficial Pls kindly help share this until it gets to his notice.
Let’s do some analysis.
To get a USA passport, it costs $165. For someone on minimum wage in the usa ($7.25 per hour), they earn about $1,160 a month if they do only one job 8hrs a day for 5days a week. What is my point here? Even someone on minimum wage in the usa will effortlessly afford an American passport if they are interested.
To get a UK passport, it costs £82.50 if done online (or £100 if done on paper). For someone on minimum wage in the uk (£12.21 per hour for >20yr olds), they earn about £1,953 a month if they do only one job 8hrs a day for 5days a week. What is my point here? Even someone on minimum wage in the uk will effortlessly afford a British passport if they are interested.
Now come to Nigeria.
With the latest announcement from the nigerian immigration service, it will cost 100,000 naira to get the 32page international passport (or 200,000naira to get the 64page one). In Nigeria today, the minimum wage is 70,000naira. The vast majority of employers including state governments and private companies do NOT pay this minimum wage. And even if they did, what’s my point here?
If someone is on minimum wage in Nigeria, they will never be able to effortlessly afford a nigerian passport if they are interested.
The last time I did my nigerian passport,
I came online to praise the nigerian immigration service and also the minister Olubunmi Ojo. His hard work has no doubt been duly recognised by many Nigerians both home and abroad.
However on the recent increase in the application and processing fees for international passport for Nigerians living in Nigeria, I think the minister should review and reverse this increase.
The application and possession of an international passport must never ever be a luxury that the common man can not afford if they were to be interested. It is a huge aberration and a terrible anomaly in my personal opinion, that a minimum wage earner should be unable to afford to apply for an international passport.
This is an appeal and a public request.
Please kindly review these prices downwards for Nigerians. The hardship and horror of life in Nigeria is terrible enough for Nigerians living in Nigeria. Please kindly let us not add more to it.
Dear @BTOofficial pls look into this.
Kindly help me share this until the minister sees this and acts favourably on it.
3 years ago today, Ifeanyi Okereke, a Newspaper vendor was shot dead by Femi Gbajabiamila's security aide in Abuja for no reason. The deceased wife gave birth to a two weeks old child prior to his death. This has been swept under the carpet.
Retweet till Ifeanyi gets Justice! 🙏

Your petition is complete nonsense and you are a complete mugu, @fkeyamo. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed have been telling only the truth. I look forward to the discovery process to address your asinine claims.
This is absolutely insane! Is there a case of transnational internet fraud against Chude? If there’s none, @INTERPOL_HQ in Nigeria has no jurisdiction over him. I urge everyone to read the Constitution of INTERPOL. Like everything Nigerian, INTERPOL in Nigeria has been abused.
We are now in a place where people are picked up for tweets supporting their candidates but folks who incite violence against an entire ethnic group are left to go free?
The coordinated attacks on Igbos yesterday by APC leaders shouldn't be allowed to slide.
There's enough evidence to take the matter to ICC.
Let's walk the talk
