They are not giving people their passports except they bring blank postal orders which they will go claim.

The Nigerian Embassy in Dublin, Ireland is collecting illegal €100 postal orders from Nigerians applying for passports which are shared and monetised by staff members for personal gains, SaharaReporters has learnt.

SaharaReporters learnt that the embassy used to request postal orders from passport applicants but that was stopped by former Ambassador to the European country, Dr Uzoma Emenike, who is now the Ambassador to the United States of America. "Since Dr Uzoma Emenike has been posted out from Ireland to the US now, the staff members are the ones requesting for postal orders from Nigerians who are applying for passports."They gave express warning that it should not be addressed to the Nigerian Embassy but should be left blank,” one of the sources said.

"However, in the memo, they cleverly decided not to mention who to address the postal order to. They will reject it if addressed to the Nigerian Embassy. We understand that they share the postal orders among themselves on weekends for them to cash out.” The memo dated September 2021, however, added that such applications must come with a €100 postal order.

How can I get a green card Biko

Good name 😊

A renewal of a uk passport has an SLA of 30days & can be done from ur phone or desktop.. without seeing UKPA staff ..Naija uk will physically send u 2 post office, payment centre & embassy ..& u'll still wait months 2 recieve d most expensive kpali on earth that expires in 5yrs

Okeyooo. So these people have taken their theft and corruption to the diplomatic circle.

Where are the many proud Nigerians? A criminal arrangement called Nigeria, run by criminal syndicates called 'cult', and terrorists called 'Bandits'

In south africa, you pay an administration fee, without getting a receipt for every application.

In atlanta we buy extra $130 money order for them before you are allowed to enter and capture..

This is so true. The staff of the Nigeria Embassy is the worst I have ever seen. I have many friends who were forced to bring blank postal order before their passport could be released.

Every Nigerian embassy , that is what they 47000 small come to paris

In Vienna Austria the are collecting 50euro.

Even here in UAE 🇦🇪 is bout 50k the do add for no reason ... and will delay your passport for like 2 month before you receive it or even more than... really really painful...

Please help us with the Nigeria embassy in Rome they block their website so they can being exploiting people, please talk about it too criminals corruption everywhere.

Don't blame them. Even President Buhari is more corrupt

We paid over 100k plus here in India to renew and u are talking of 45k. You want one Nigeria, here it is. Enjoy the cruise

In india we pay as High as 14k rupees which equivalent of 104naira

A close friend of mine told me they do the same in Ottawa, Canada. But no receipt like this.

It's happening in the U.S also, these pple now see corruption as part of their job. 9jaWhichWay

What's the surprise here? It's same in New York Naija embassy too nau. It's almost a surprise if anything associated with Naija goes normal😳😳😡

I just got mine and only €30 postal order was paid. Don't trust you Sahara reporters

Because of inflation most of you think the money is much…it’s still the same amount in 2013, exchange in naira of then and now is different because of inflation…. Na inflation make am look too expensive

Please investigate what is happening in Paris. Ask Nigerians who live in France. It's something else. Sometime ago a juju was dropped at the entrance. You can imagine the level of frustration of whoever dropped it. Please investigate!!! People are stranded.

Wherever they are, the story is the same.

I think it’s best to get green card and separate your self from every thing concerning Nigeria This country stems from Lucifer’s creation

They are doing same in Sweden 🇸🇪

The name 'Nigeria' stinks all over the world. I will never be proud to call myself a Nigerian despite having their passport. I'm a BIAFRAN and I unapologetically state it loud and clear.

RealOkoro ZooIndeed

Nigerians around the world should be able to organize themselves and tackle these corrupt embassies staffs. We can't continue like this. Nigerians deserve Better.

It’s not just Ireland. In the UK you have to buy £100 postal order - put the Nigeria high commission as the beneficiary and also buy a special delivery envelope. After that you will go and queue up on the long queue. It’s a special ‘Nigerian treatment’ outside of Nigeria.

How is this an extortion?

This people no dey shame at all 💔

They do same in UK, £120 postal order. It was £20 postal order before, now £120.

Fre7b0rn Nigeria foundation is corruption from head.

Just 47,000 naira they are lucky men, in Nigeria alone they extort you up to 80,000, in Abu dhabi, Uae, you pay equivalent to 110,000 naira.

Nigeria High Commission in London does the same thing

In Abudhabi Embassy they collect extra 30k they call it Adim fee that's after paying $106 for your passport renewal Nigeria which way wahala home and abroad

Is not too much, it is just a normal thing.

Leave that thing! let's face and finish the WAHALA here in Nigeria first.
