My Shocking Nigerian Passport Renewal Experience

-

I still can’t believe I renewed my Nigerian passport from outside Nigeria in  less than two weeks  without stepping foot in the embassy.  Yes, you read that right.  No travel. No queues. No stress. Just me, my phone and a surprisingly efficient system. How It Started My passport expired in September and I needed to renew it urgently but I could not travel to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C.. So I started digging around for alternatives and discovered something I wasn’t sure was even real:  Contactless passport renewal . All from home! Thankfully, I had the new B-series passport (the one linked to your NIN) which qualified me for the online process. Still, I was skeptical. Nigerian portals can sometimes be… let’s just say, “audio innovations.” Tech this, innovation that but when it's time to actually work? E get as e be. But since I had no choice (and no travel plan), I decided to give it a go. The application process was  shockingly smooth. I comple...

  Claudia Nwankwo Many people endure pain, hoping those around them will notice and offer support. But often, everyone is wrapped up in their own lives and doesn’t have the time or focus to notice what others are going through. Woke up to the groaning sound of someone in pain who has been given surgery as permanent solution but they choose to suffer and keep managing the pain because they are afraid to make such decisions with such dramatic turn around in their health. I cannot understand why anyone would think so low of themselves that they rely on others’ validation to make important personal life decisions. …because “people who knew me before will say” If you have options (and usually you do), take them! Don’t suffer in silence just because you fear what people might say or worry about the outcome.  What if things turn out better than you ever imagined? No one can fully understand your pain, because no one else feels it the way you do.  So, whether it’s about...

Why I Stopped Paid Employment

Claudia  I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more.  While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week.  How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass. It's more like a "dog eat dog" situation where correction is not done with "your growth" in mind. You'll be feeling drained and looking overused and abused all the time. That's why their HR be like "can you work under pressure?" As if it's a g...
