Nigerian public officials received a total of N400 billion as BRIBE btw 2015 & 2016 alone.

One major tool of extortion is the Nigerian Passport.

How much is the official price?

How much is black market rate(s)?

Why’s the passport important to you as a citizen?

How does the corruption surrounding getting one affect you?

The passport is a PROOF of your citizenship.

Paying bribe to get it is one of the reasons why the Nigerian passport is ranked as low as 42nd in (54 countries) Africa.
Here’s the main problem:

The Immigration [@nigimmigration] office is usually rowdy. This is fondly exploited by NIS officers to rip off desperate (and non-desperate) applicants.

One wonders: Why’s Nigeria in fight with technologies that can solve this problem 100%?

Corruption!
By perpetuating an industry of “black market passport,” @nigimmigration officers are not only ripping off Nigerians. They are also the reason behind the loss of confidence in public institutions and a failing country.

It’s time we changed!
