Madness from our immigration service

How's this madness, please?

Let's ask questions before demonizing the process.

If women want be be entirely equal to men in Africa, that's fine by me.

However, can we do it IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS?

Can men get to receive a GROOM PRICE also?

The husband should have no business with a woman getting her passport, except that the woman would also have a say in his
Yeah. Supported. Everyone should be independent because human mind is too evilish. I knew a man who burnt his wife certificates, and one thing lead to another, and the relationship end in divorce...

Why is this woman inciting an unnecessary gender conflict just to evoke emotions?

I'm an immigration officer, and much of what she wrote is inaccurate. The NIS does not require your husband's identity while processing a standard renewal. Such is only requested for in a situation whereby you're changing your surname either due to marriage, divorce or death.

So asking for such in the above circumstances aren't out of place, you can't just decide to change your surname without providing additional documents to back it up aside the birth certificate & local government identity.

This is an unjustified victimization of the service.

She wanted to claim she is married to someone and did not want the person to know she is getting passport?

You're lying.

New passport/renewal required written permission and husbands ID before his wife's passport can be processed.

Yes, probably a sham marriage just to japa, I hate it when people blame others for their shortcomings.

If all is well, providing the passport datapage of the surname you're changing to shouldn't be a problem.

Hope u are aware marrying for citizenship is fraud

And a jail able offense

People have been deported for doing so


Kilometres:
It makes no sense

Even if you did it because of women that got citizenship through marriage. Divorce do3s not invalidate citizenship.

You can get married today, obtain your citizenship tomorrow and next tomorrow you divorce. It does not invalidate the citizenship.

As much as I don't like to comment on issues like this. My question is this, Why would you even bear your husband name in the first place. Is he your father?

Just Imagine aking the daughter of o prominent man to change her name to your own name. O sound crazy now!.

You sound even more frustrated than her and the rants were not even directed at you. As an adult, you should be able to read rants like this and take the information without getting emotional. This is also especially important for people in positions of power

As usual they always try to be emotional and sentimental about facts they are on the wrong side of


Its a shame

U are married

Ur documents besides your passport doesn't carry ur husbands name and u need a new passport with ur father's name ofcuz u have to bac it up

Jus like u presented marriage certificate of the same husband's proof of identity to assume the husband's name in the first place

Some of you commenters are commenting on half story. If you are married and apply for passport or want to renew passport the immigration is not going to ask for your husband passport. However, if you have a passport and you want to change your name due to change in marital status, then you will be required to provide the bio page of your new husband. How will you feel if the government issued passport to someone who claimed to be your son's wife and your son is not married to such person. Will you not blame the government for not been diligent?
If you considered a man dangerous and no longer want to associate with such a man, why would you want to bear such person last name?

Ridiculous if you ask me just keep your maiden name on your passport and even your bank account such that you avoid unsolicited advice from bank staff if you need to change back or impossible request from government departments.

Imagine keeping married name with bank for more than 10 years after divorce cos a divorce certificate is not sufficient in Nigeria. The opèke even went as far as disputing my UK divorce and wanted to be telling me what it should contain I loudly called him to order before bank manager settled matter. This patriarchal society eh.


They are so used to Oluwole that they think everyone na them.

The questions she asked are not new. But even more, they are fair and balanced.

You and all those who 'liked' your response clearly do not value the contribution or well-being of women in our country.

To all Nigerian women - please continue challenging anachronistic laws which have no place in an egalitarian society.

Here is an example of one that was recently rescinded.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced that married women are no longer required to submit a letter of approval from their husbands when applying for a visa clearance certificate.

The certificate, which confirms an individual has no drug-related convictions in Nigeria, is a prerequisite for entry to certain countries.

Previously, the NDLEA mandated that married women include a “letter of approval to travel from their husband, attached with his passport photograph.”

This rule did not apply to men, which led to criticism online, particularly after an X user posted a viral complaint calling the policy “discriminatory” and “government-sponsored misogyny.”

I hate to be the one to say this, but things don’t work that way. We can all act woke and say whatever we feel, but the reality is that men and women are not equal. Husbands and wives are not equal, especially in Nigeria.

Just go to your local government and tell them what the issue is and someone there might be able to work some magic to get you all you need to fulfil all righteousness nonsense.

Make sure they can get you all you need.

My wife renewed her passport a few months back and applied for the kids passports and the only contribution she needed of me was to sign a consent form for the kids.
