If citizens of the Global North depended on visas to travel the world the way we do in the South, visa processing would have evolved decades ago.
Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs must lead this charge.
Embassies still operating on outdated passport submission requirements should be put on notice. The ask is not unreasonable. Best practice already exists.
But that demand carries no credibility while Nigeria's own missions abroad operate by the same standards. Reform must be reciprocal.
What is needed is simple: a clear timeline for compliance, applied outward to those processing Nigerian applicants, and inward to how Nigerian missions process everyone else. We need a timeline on this, for us and for those who processes ours.

Africa's richest man - Aliko Dangote - says he needs 35 visas to travel in Africa on his Nigerian passport.
A French passport has more visa-free access in Africa than Dangote
@NigeriaCAA These airlines are experienced and can smell an empty threat when they see 1. Recently flew Turkish airlines. Terrible experience. Don't think I'll ever fly that airline again.
@officialEFCC Hello EFCC.
I had sent an email earlier to you. But didn't get any acknowledgement.
Kindly see below screenshot.
Tip to arrest some potential Scammers
@MTN180@MTNNG I wonder why you people are so inconsiderate and wicked. I accidentally bought 1TB of data on my mtn line instead of my Router sim. Why is it so difficult to move the data from my sim to my other sim? Telling me it's already in use. 1TB!!! Wicked people!
@MTN180 Why is it difficult for you to transfer data from 1 registered line to another? Either Very unprofessional or lack of technical capability. Because its so basic!
@FirstBankngr Your customer care numbers aren't working. Can't lodge a dispense error on your Internet banking. After several attempts, got through to Firstcontact and lodged verbally about 11 days ago. 3 to 5 working days elapsed. No response. No feedback. No refund. Terrible services
So @GiGiHadid pledges to donate her earnings from Fall 2022 to relief efforts for occupied Ukrainians *and* occupied Palestinians and then @voguemagazine magazine just erases the Palestinians from its @instagram post on her pledge?
