Mine was travelling from U.K to Lagos, without my Nigerian passport as a dual citizen, I only discovered when I checked my hand luggage upon touch down at MMIA that the Nigerian passport is not there, I had only my Australian passport, OMG I started sweating, even with my good and fluent Yoruba, and place of birth stated on my Australian passport the immigration were bent on deporting me to Australia. I begged and begged, brought out my laptop and showed them scanned copies of my Nigerian passport, omo dem no gree ooo, until I showed them money...

My friend this your story is not adding up or you just want to state that you have Aussie passport? How can BA board you from U.K without nigerian visa on a foreign passport. My friend don't write things here as if you are writing to kids or novice

Good Luck

That is your own you are talking, I have shared my experience, I am not here for trash, if it is not adding up, go and sleep. Mind you, with an Aus Passport, u virtually need no visa to almost 95% of the world. That is my experience, I am not asking you to believe, but u am asking you not to quote me again

My friend, if you took off from Australia and lay over in u.k them you used BA.

If you leave in u.k with Aussie passport, and flew straight to Nigeria, them you used BA, British Virgin or Arik that is if Arik operates in U.K. And if you transits wherever with the country's airline, which doesn't really matter, you still need a visa to nigeria with Aussie passport. No airline, I repeat no airline will ever, ever carry you to a country of final destination without a visa or the passport holder is visa free to the destination.

No need calling names here, am way too old to call names with you. I hold a dual citizenship status, and have sojourn most of my adult life in the west. Please do not write things or comments just to add up. This forum is created for people who needs help or have concerns and also people to share their experiences wherever they traveled to which by the way is educational.

And it is not true that Aussie passport is 95% visa free in the world. There are almost 200 countries in the world, u.k, u.s, Germany and iceland is visa free 176. Them you have the Scandinavian countries before Aussie passport, canadain and the rest of EU. You also have Japan and South korea.When you make statements, come from the fact points not to make up.

If I tell you how old I am or have leaved in west, you wouldn't have to call names.

Good Luck

My friend read through my lines. Don't skip to write your own. I mentioned virgin on my airline list.

And from your statement, your final destination was london from Australia which is of good understanding. Them you bought fresh ticket to nigeria using virgin, fine too. The issue here is you stated that virgin boarded you with your Aussie passport to nigeria without a visa. That is the missing link here. It is not done. You have to show them your nigeria passport for them to board you if no visa issued to the Australian passport. Please going back and forth is exposing your self the more

Good Luck.

You have mentioned your ownership of an Australian passport several times on this thread, but you haven't explained why the Nigerian Immigration gave you a hard time even though you apparently must have had a Nigerian visa in your passport. If you did not have a Nigerian visa and you were allowed into Nigeria, then your story doesn't make any iota of sense. No one cares if you are a dual citizen or not, this thread didn't ask for it.

Your story still doesn't add up.

All international airlines that fly into Nigeria know that you need a Nigerian visa to be allowed into the country if you are not a holder of the ECOWAS passport and will not board you till that condition is met. Nigeria is one of the few countries that are not visa free for American, British, Canadian, Australian etc passport holders.

So the question remains; how were you allowed to board Virgin airline in the UK to Nigeria without a Nigerian passport or Nigerian visa on your Aussie passport?

Bros, this your story no wash at all.
