NIGERIA EMBASSY ROME

The embassy of Nigeria in Rome is a big shame to Nigerians. Everyone need to know what these stupid people do. After writing this they may never renew my Nigeria passport anymore. I don’t even care if they do, but they need to stop extorting Nigerians.
My wife needed to renew her Nigerian passport, I paid for 64 pages booklet. I did this because most times if you pay for 32 pages booklet, they will come up with stories like booklet is not available. And use it to delay your passport. The 64 pages cost more than 32 pages.
Then I went to the embassy website to book the appointment date. There was no appointment. In fact take a look at the screen recorded video. You will notice that there is no appointment now till January 2024. I decided to stop there. There is no appointment even till 2080.
The wonderful thing is that the embassy keeps issuing passports without appointments. The reason will shock you.

To be able to renew your passport you will have to pay an unofficial amount of money. The amount varies from the person helping you to do it.
In my wife case we paid €200 more to someone there to help us renew the passport. This is just to bribe them to do the passport. Even after paying them $137 they were not satisfied. They still wanted me to bribe them to release the passport.
Upon entering the embassy, her cellphone was collected from her. She was obligated to submit her cellphone before entering the embassy.

What could they be scared of?

Someone might video their corrupt activities and leak it?

She gave them her cellphone and entered inside.
One oyinbo came inside the embassy and they didn’t seize her cellphone. My wife saw her flaunting her cellphone inside the embassy. Now why didn’t they do the same to her? Maybe they are scared she might report them to the Italian police.
And if the Italian police get involved, their intelligence might leak everything. It might complicate the Chancery. Even the way they talk and embarrass citizens is very bad. My wife told me about someone who had difficulty speaking English. Instead of them to help, he was mocked
Let’s do simple Maths and figure check the business they’re doing at the embassy.

Assuming they issue 100 passports a day for €200, that’s €20,000 a day and €600,000 a month for 30 days. This in a year is €7.2 million. In just one year.

Na suit dem dey wear 🤦‍♂️
That’s a lot of money. This is the business going on at the Nigerian embassy at Rome. Now you know why there is no appointment till 2080. For you to get scanned you have to pay that unofficial amount. And this is nothing but extortion.
If you’re a Nigerian and you believe it is wrong for the Nigerian Embassy to extort your fellow brothers then retweet this as a support to end this extortion. Nigerians deserve better.

Passports should be issued without bribe or extra fee.
Many Nigerians have no jobs and may not be able to afford it. We can’t allow this nonsense. If you don’t pay them you won’t get scanned and won’t get your passport.

Please, include these tags to every tweet in regards.

@NigeriaMFA You will remember this email. Instead of you to assist in securing an appointment and talking to the embassy, your office decided to be mute.

Are you by any means supporting the extortion of Nigerians by the Nigerian Embassy Rome?

We demand answers.
Just because of their dubious activities I have refused to request the issue of Nigeria passport for my kids. I can’t pay €600 for my two kids and myself. Then pay the official amount of $411. Transport to Rome from where I live for three of us is like €150.
That’s approximately €1000 just to get 3 international passports. I need to spend over 500k Naira to get three passports because of the embassy extorting us and @NigeriaMFA is quiet. Shame on you for allowing this.

Firstly, I will like to thank you sincerely for coming through rapidly to help resolve the issue we had at the Nigeria embassy in Rome. And of course to Ambassador Mfawa Abam and the Head of Chancery Rome.
Sir, if you take a look at this thread, you will notice that other citizens are complaining about the embassies in Atlanta, New York, London, Germany, Ottawa, and other embassies around the world.

We can’t accept bribery in our embassies around the world.

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🚨

The embassy contacted me. I requested to speak with the ambassador directly to ask him questions regarding the corrupt practices in the embassy.

He agreed to speak with me, and he sent me his phone number.
Firstly I will like to thank His Excellency @GeoffreyOnyeama for swift action in resolving the issue. The appointment booking is now open for citizens. Now they can book and get their passports without bribing anyone. This is what we wanted.
During my discussion with the ambassador, I asked him various questions regarding the corrupt practices around the embassy.

He assured me that he was not aware of such, and as a matter of fact he will definitely look into it and fix the situation immediately.

⚠️ USE THIS WISELY ⚠️

Some of you willing to travel out of Nigeria need to know that if you’re married in Nigeria before leaving, it can complicate things for you.

Life is easier if you’re single before leaving Nigeria than being married for some reasons.
If you’re single, you might find someone you love abroad. And if the person is a citizen or resident permit holder, then your stay in that country will be guaranteed.

If you’re married you can’t be doing that. You probably need to consider your family.
You may say I will do it. Well, many did it and abandoned their wives and kids in Nigeria.

I have seen it happen in my eyes. Someone didn’t tell me.

By law, one of the ways to get residency is through marriage. It’s valid in Canada, USA, UK, EU and everywhere.
