Anyone who knows what it takes to be a student in Canada will feel the girls pain and having to travel from London Ontario by bus to Ottawa only to be told $300 is gone is just very saddening.

I never wanted to be Canadian Citizen before, but the more i see the contrast with Nigeria the more I see no reason why anyone will want to be be Nigerian for now, so much potentials but corruption has beaten our sensibilities into complete Coma.

Well I am surprised? the embassy is managed by a political dead wood...Ojo Madueke!

I still can't get my Nigerian passport renewed just for this very insanity at the embassies.

I don't blame her, If our origins were by choice, certainly I won't have Nigeria in the top 50 countries, sad but true angry angry

Girl, I feel your pain. I did not burn or tear my Nigerian passport, it ended up in River Thames on my way home from their previous Consular office on Fleet Street in London. I, as a man was almost reduced to tears at the unprofessional and inhumane treatment that I received from those uncaring and unfeeling incompetent officials. I feel no qualms travelling with the red passport, stress free in applying for and receiving it. Travelling anywhere is also stress and suspicion free, no extra questioning and unwanted undeserved searching and grilling on account of being a Nigerian and a green passport holder. Oluwakemi, I feel for you. I can only empathise with you in your unfortunate plight

Poor gal !!!
Same story with all these Nigerian embassies; they just can't do simple things right.
I can imagine squeezing out money and time out of you busy schedule only for your efforts to be thwarted by the embassy's incompetence, that's enough to drive a sane man crazy.

Why in the world would you insult the lady? Have you ever been put in a frustrated position like that before? Stop judging others if you really do not understand what they are going through. Clearly she is pissed and said that out of hurt whether she meant it or not. Your opinions honestly could not worth a damn to her right now anyways.

Afam4eva: it is utterly shameful to be a Nigerian in 2013. I could sense a deep anger and regret for God making that lady a Nigerian. She never asked for it but unfortunately she was placed in a place that have 1diots as leaders. I won't blame her if she burns her Nigerian passport. It's good riddance to bad rubbish.
let her burn it she can only be a Canadian on paper, even wit canadian pasport they stil see her as black and foreigner if not why are blac american always having misunderstanding wit white, dat sense of racism is stil there. Noting like home

The Manchester and London embassies , are they always like that or were those videos shot on a special event ?

If they get crowds like that everyday then they should consider attending to people based on appointments and with daily caps.

this is probably the same mentality the leaders have and why they are looting Nigeria without second thought. hmmm, no wonder the country is a mess. when you are from a country you cant stand up tall for, how do you expect things to get better in the future when actually, YOU are the future

You can never feel her pain unless you are an international student abroad that has a family earning a meager salary back home.


I know someone who had to rain curse in their voice mail before they sent back his passport after 2 months.

Just saw the video and is beyond SHOCKING.

The Frustration of the lady is just palpable; and who would blame her.

A surgical operation should be done on that Embassy. Heads should roll- in fact, Serious Heads should roll so as to send a stern warning to other Embassies; and an Unreserved Apology made by the Foreign Affairs Minister himself.
Re: "I Will Tear And Burn My Nigerian Passport, Once I Become Canadian" - Nigerian by solomon111(m): 8:24pm On Aug 24, 2013
Nigeria is over-populated anyway.
Even the govt is looking for ways to reduce population growth.
I feel for the young lady,unfortunately her denouncing Nigeria will have no effect on the Nigerian state.

She said that out of frustration but I feel her pain. The way these embassies treat people makes me want to punch them in the face.

There's no high commission in Manchester, what you see on the video was a one off event to register those residing in the north of England and Scotland to get their passports without having to travel to London. I pity those in Canada because the country is so big, in fact it's a continent on its own, imagine to travel from calgary alberta to ottawa for nothing, that's ridiculous.
Thank God I don't need Nigerian passport to travel any longer except when I'm travelling to Nigeria, which I usually don't do.

Wow! I was gonna create a thread to ask for you... I was wondering why you haven't been around for long.

Nice to have you back.

Thanks, bruv.

All of you saying rubbish about Nigeria needs your heads examined. Only a fooool hates his/her country.

It's people like the yeye lady talking rubbish that man these foreign missions. The government can't take the blame for the failures of people who aren't doing the job they are paid to do.

These people should formally complain to the foreign affairs ministry and the people responsible for this sorry situation will be recalled and replaced with ones that are efficient.

Even if you distrust your leaders, always love your country.

Until you travel the world, you wouldn't have many reasons to love Nigeria.

I walk tall in Nigeria without fear or prejudice. Something you can never get in another country that adopts your sorry self.

Burning of passport or The Nigerian flag should be criminalized.

I hate it when people say rubbish and vent their anger about nigeria but are not ready to do anything about it. Youths in other countries like egypt and tunisia protested till there was a change but all we do in naija is vent anger online. How about taking our anger to the streets till we get the change we deserve.


Till then God bless naija

eeyaaah...frustration can make you say and do regrettable things.
a student who was sent to school against all odds but couldn't find a job to pay back favour will naturally be frustrated, such can carry gun, not that he loves to steal but was frustrated.
Our so called leaders have given Frustration as another name for Nigeria
