Nigerian Embassy, Atlanta Is Home Of Corruption by overseasnbeyond: 1:51pm On Sep 17, 2021 |
I was in Nigeria for vacation sometimes December, i tried to apply for Passport renewal but due to unavailability of booklet i was unable to get it. Fast forward to June 2021, i check online to see the nearest Nigeria embassy to process my renewal, saw the Atlanta office where they have REAL office and the Fake office Real Address: 8050 Roswell Rd, Atlanta, GA 30350 Hours: Opens soon ⋅ 8:30AM Phone: (770) 369-6509 Fake Address: 8050 Roswell Rd #100, Atlanta, GA 30350 Hours: Open ⋅ Closes 7PM Phone: (770) 369-6509 The payment porter online are different as the real charges $103 while the fake charges $169 I proceeded to form completion online pay with my credit card to the supposed Nigeria embassy passport renewal account waited for 2 months to be invited for bio metric and fingerprints but no message came inbox . I call them several times with no response and no way to leave voice mail. Since no response from that office i plan a 6 hours trip to sought things out because of my upcoming vacation Findings Parking space is $20 with no receipt ( the guy acting like a tout in Oshodi) All applicants have to pay another $130 dollar with money order apart from the online payment ( No explanation given for it) Photocopy is $5 Fedex envelop is $15 With all these payments, applicants still have to pay bribe to all these creepy worker through the Fake embassy staff to fast track your file( No difference from the way it operated in any Nigerian passport office) I got in to the embassy 9am and was never finger printed until 5pm whereas i saw people that came between 10am to 2pm attended to before me. Nigeria can never get better, we will continue to rock it like that because the corruption is now legalized at international level, imagine getting bribe with money order? It is so obvious that corruption has come to stay in Nigeria system . 3 Likes 1 Share |

It's very unfortunate. I don't know the way forward either. Perhaps a call for referendum? 2 Likes |

OP you are very very very correct. I’ve heard numerous cases like this from friends that pass the night at my side anytime they come for their passport renewal coz I used to live very close to the Embassy in that Roswell. As in, how do you explain the fact that 100% of those guys always have a bad thing to say about the embassy. That embassy and their dealings made me realize that the problem is not actually Nigeria but the people that make up the entity. Seems greediness and corruption is like bread and butter among vast majorities of Nigerians. Now to buttress my fact, people should just type Nigeria Embassy Atlanta and Google their reviews. That’s when you will shake your head for Nigeria. 2 Likes 1 Share

Trust we Nigerians to export our institutionalised indiscipline, greed and corruption to anywhere we go Meanwhile, it takes online filling of form to get the treasured blue passport in that same country. You can be rest assured that your blue passport will be delivered to your mailbox within some days or a week plus without going through any hurdles |
