    1. Candy, this is new year. Pls be optimistic. 2 of my colleagues, filled the online application forms, and paid online, chose where they wanted to go for capturing. All from the comfort of our office. I was even surprised when i saw this, cos they have started na, except he meant even the capturing will be online. It’s a good development.

  12. will it also be the same for those in the diaspora? I have not renewed my Naija passport for decades because of the wahala involved, I no get that kind strength. I know I will have to do a new one, got my birth certificate and everything, but anytime I think of the Nigerian embassy strength, I just fashi jo. If this is true, it will encourage me try again.
