Nigerians In South Africa Allege Extortion By Nigerian Consulate Over Passport Renewal | Sahara Reporters

A group representing the interest of Nigerians in South Africa, Nigeria Union South Africa, has alleged extortion by the Nigerian Consulate in the country.

According to the group, the fee is very unreasonable, noting that the refusal of the Consulate to review the fees shows that the mission is only interested in how to extract money from Nigerians not minding their pain. “The nonchalant attitude over the cry of Nigerians, relative to the above submission is preposterous and mind-boggling, to say the least. It seems as though the mission is only interested in how to extract money from Nigerians not minding their pain with no plan whatsoever to improve service delivery at the consulate hence the minimum turnaround for passport renewal is now five months and lost passport is now nine months.

The statement listed their demands as thus:"We demand that the unreasonable R2, 000 penalties for lost passport and extra R120 for passport capturing should be stopped with immediate effect.

Shit hole country. They collected 75k from my old Mother since February and no passport yet upon she still have valid visa to leave the zoo country

The same story everywhere.

They extort Nigerians in Nigeria, how much more Nigerians that Immigration folks think they have money. Na Hammer be that for them eyes.

They are even worst here, they will collect over N40k for something of N25k u won't still get the passport for ages. Esp Alausa and Ikeja

I hope Nigeria government can do something about, 2000rands fine too much after 160 dollars paid to IOS still charge 2000rand for lost passport and if you don't pay another 1500rands for approval in Abuja still hav to pay for capturing, this is too much.

Corruption home and abroad 😁

Most Nigerians outside the country feel whats happening in Nigeria is non of their business. It will affect us one way or the other. They better lend their resources and voices. They better participate
