This is from someone who did today Thursday 7,Oct.2021. I'll update you when I get it next week, kindly save the page and follow up.
First, To be sincere here because everyone want a way out,some don't have the high amount of money needed,some just want to know.
Now, am sure you're aware what it takes to do renewal of passport about 3years old and COD (their slang for change of date of birth).
Before I travel to Abuja, I was introduced to someone (a female immigration officer who's from the East---name withheld) at passport office headquarter Abuja. On meeting her she says it will cost me 170k for everything since it has expired for 3yrs plus my date or birth. First she ask how many of my documents are affected (this was logic but I didn't grab), I simply reply her my waec,NIN,BVN and everything. She says nothing can be done except I do the changes on my passport before I can travel. Since I was desperate and a medical student,the school has given me arrival date,so if I don't do what's necessary,I may missed out. So I plead her for 70k,she replied I should just go back to my state and explain to my parents the cost of everything. I was left thinking for 30min on what to do. Finally she says 165k last...and collect my file and keep until when ready I should let her know.
After a while,I said it's ok,I left in bitterness.
This morning,before I move I told God I have no body at the immigration,help me God. Now,the actual price for the changes is 33k(COD) + 25k(reissue) total 58k..but pay online and wait for interview,you'll wait until next year. There's no 32booklet at the moment. So I told God my case is urgent and I need help,show me favour,and direct my footstep to the right person.
I arrive immigration and I went inside,they stop me I should call the person incharge of my case,I reply the man I have no body this is what I want to do. He says ok,let me see your old passport (please always be truthful and straight forward to Hausa people). I show him,he says your case is COD,don't worry i'll direct you to somebody,just wait...not upto 2min one tall dark Hausa man appear not wearing uniform,and the security man look at me and say follow him,he'll handle your case. I mate the man and show him everything he says it will cost me 120k, he said.. to be sincere this is the price,but since I need urgent,I can assure you next week. Do you have the Money? I said no I'm with 70k. He return my passport to me and said when you're ready you comeback,this is not just renewal,but change of date of birth,I want to be very since with you,since you're a medical student,I don't know if by tomorrow am sick and you're likely to be the one treating me,bring 100k don't say anything by nextweek you get it. I told him 90k,he look at me for seconds,his friends laugh too and I was hopeless because I've heard here in Nairaland people spending 300k,140k,180k so my case shouldn't be different. He look at his time it was 12:45,he took me inside and meet one officer inside and said express,take him for capturing,change the date to this new one...he handed over my details to him. I saw over 100 people inside just looking at me like who's these person to pass us seated here since morning. Lols.
My nairaland people,that's how I was captured and am back to central area to report to embassy new date because they school want all medical students to report next Sunday. So with 90-100k if anyone here needs assistance,connect me and be prepared to move to Abuja and be captured. Thank me later. I'll refer you. If you're captured on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday you can get it.
