The Nigerian passport has taken the 92nd spot in the global ranking, according to the Henley Passport Index, which assesses the number of destinations that can be visited without a prior visa. This marks the 10th consecutive year that Nigeria has maintained its low ranking.

The index, which uses International Air Transport Association (IATA) statistics and open-source data, reveals that Nigerian citizens can travel visa-free to only 45 countries out of 227 worldwide destinations. This is despite the country’s growing economy and increasing importance on the global stage.

Singapore has regained its position as the most powerful passport in the world, with its citizens having visa-free access to an impressive 195 destinations. France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain share second place with 192 visa-free destinations.

Nigerians can travel to a limited number of countries visa-free, including Ghana, Benin, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Maldives (Visa on Arrival), Niger, and Togo.

The country’s poor ranking is attributed to various factors, including security concerns and political instability in some regions.

In a move to foster travel between Nigeria and South Africa, the latter has introduced a five-year multiple-entry visa to migrants commuting for business . The “special provision” was announced by Bobby Moroe, Consul General of South Africa, during a recent meeting with Nigerian business leaders. This move aims to promote trade and economic cooperation between the two nations.

The post read, “105 pieces of diapers in 6 days. Haaa, mo gbe mo daran. E shanu mi eyin quadruplet yi.”

James’ post gained the attention of netizens, with some highlighting the challenges of raising young children.

By Wednesday, James stated that he had received permission from the couple to share the picture of the parents and the children, as well as Olayode’s bank account details, for those who had been asking.

He wrote, “I reached out to them yesterday for their permission to post their picture and that of the children, as well as his account details.

The Lagos State Government reported on July 7 that the state Health Management Agency recorded its first-ever quadruplets from Gbagada General Hospital under the State Social Health Insurance Plan, popularly known as “Ilera Eko.”

The quadruplets were said to have been born to Saka and Abiodun Olayode, who had been previously blessed with a child.

The Permanent Secretary of LASHMA, Dr. Emmanuella Zamba, also said that “LASHMA would ensure that the babies were enrolled in the scheme so that they could enjoy unhindered medical care.”

In an interview with Feelrightnewstv on Facebook, Sodiq stated that they had been blessed with a daughter before the arrival of the quadruplets (two boys and two girls).

He added that the quadruplets were born at eight months because the pregnancy was becoming “life-threatening.”

The couple also sought the assistance of the government to raise the children.

Earlier in January, a mother, Deborah Olaki (also known as Mummy Zee) became a millionaire in less than 48 hours after a post stating how she wakes up as early as 4.50 am to prepare her husband’s lunch.

The time for Yoruba diplomacy has died and already buried.

It is time to be as aggressive as the other tribes in Nigeria.

No quarter must be given.
