There are no smart immigration officers; they are a bunch of corrupt folks like every other institution in Nigeria.

The day immigration will start issuing people passports without paying their officers more than the cost of the online passport application, I will start taking them seriously!

This is the reason some of us wanted Peter Obi to come and clean up this country and institutions where corruption has been institutionalised! We deserve to see a working country!

This is the issue I have with every obidient


No school of thought teaches that there can be only one saint in the world, which means, the fact that Nigeria misses out on Obi doesn't mean no other politician can do better

2) How do u even conclude that she wouldn't fare well above expectation when its barely a week she assumes duty....you can never accurately predict the future of one whose past u know not much about


In your bid to sound smart, you just went ahead to show how deficient in reasoning and knowledge you are...

My comment hasn't in any way suggested that only Obi can transform this country because myself can. However, waiting for Tinubu or Atiku to fight corruption is like waiting to catch a flight at God is Good Motors terminal. Pretend all you want, we know what those guys represent.

Plus, I don't know how old you are, but you need to understand that leadership is everything. Subordinates always watch the body language of the leader to know the direction to follow, especially in systems where corruption has been institutionalised.

In conclusion, ping me when that woman transforms immigration by making the process seamless and devoid of bribery like I stated. Until then, I have nothing else to say to you.
