1. With all due respect Elder @liborous you got SEVERAL things wrong about what is happening in Germany about the embassy. Your piece about "Nigerians destroying Nigeria" neglected to say exactly what role Nigerians are playing in the German example.
Give everyone equal flogging
2. You said "passport appointments are not less than 6 months and DELIBERATELY MADE SO, to give room for touts stationed outside the embassy to fleece applicants of €100 each to gain entrance into the embassy or get an appointment date."
This is FALSE.
3. While @NigeriaBerlin has their own fault, your sources should've admitted that it is us Nigerians that approach any staff passing by, and even the Nigerian lady that sells jollof rice nearby, offering them bribes. To be seeking entry, means they had no appointment in 1st place
4. I have watched our people on the queue walk up and sell appointment slots ON THE SPOT. Meaning, Nigerians will mass-overbook and turn up to sell it. Seen pple with no appointments harass embassy staff with verbal and even body shaming, heckling abuse, as they come to work.
5. Journalism should never be about amplifying those who cry wolf, but checking if the "criers" are indeed the wolf in sheep's toga.
Oh yes @NigeriaBerlin MUST sit up, but fact is Nigerians are very culpable. Making the links may get us true solutions, beyond cataloguing woes.
