They have done something like that to me too, what I told them was that, I don’t live in Lagos so if I miss my flight they will be responsible for my hotel and feeding bills and also book another flight for me. I just put everything on them and went to sit down, before I knew it they asked me to go 🤣🤣🤣 Bunch of exploiters
I know. Ready to exploits anytime anyday. Thanks for sharing ur experience
Even if you have your expired Nigeria passport hhen, they would still find something to say. Exactly what happened to me and my daughter when we traveled to Nigeria in 2019. Oh! I almost cried that day not because we were delayed but for my country called Nigeria.
😝
🤣
This is what we keep saying about Naija, our only problem is not our leaders, the citizens sef get wahala. I am glad you didn't miss your flight
It all still comes down to leadership. Leadership is everything
Im glad too sis. Thanks for watching
@@360integration You're absolutely correct.
@@360integration u re right
Our leaders started the shit.
I was home 2yrs ago and my son and I traveled with the TC my son did not have a passport and the embassy in ATL were out of booklets for a long time. The TC is a single entry certificate which is not a guarantee for entree sef. So without your PP they could have easily denied you entry citizen or not. And just know that the only reason why they let you go was because someone did their job by recording your entry through the TC. If he wanted to be wicked, he would not do so, thereby since you were presenting yourself as a US citizen at the point of exit without visa, you were automatically an illegal US citizen in Nigeria. So your status could move from travel to deportation since you deliberately refused to pay for visa. So please be careful next time. Nigeria and US don't have that bilateral immigration for free entry or exit.
Thank u for the info. My believe was, I entered with a TC and should be able to go out with passport. Well, all glory to God, I have no regret because my experience gave me a content to share with everyone. Now I have more info than ever before. Thanks once again
The Nigerian Immigration officials are thieves in Nigeria. I love how you stood your ground 💕💕
I approve this message.
lollll. They are always money hungry
The immigration had actually favoured this lady. In this aspect don't call Nigeria a thief, Repent for that. Not all Nigerians are bad or a thief.
@@realtalkwithbunmi What exactly are you crying about, you entered Nigeria with a travel certificate unaccompanied with your expired passport, and when leaving you presented you America passport without a VISA, so who is playing the crook here. Those immigration officers were absolutely lenient and considerate on you, so you should grateful instead of accusing them of corruption.
@@worldtalk2274 The lady made mistakes, instead of accepting her mistakes, she resorted to accusing the immigration officers of corruption.
I wish most Nigerian travelers have the same courage as you. Keep up the good work.
Thank u so much
Had similar experience, my current nigerian passport miraculous missing in the house. I travelled with me three expired Nigerian passports with British passport. On arrival in lagos Nigerian immigration informed me l will pay $300 before l could return to London. I said thank you. On my return date, got to MMIA, spoke with immigration personnel. She was able to solve the problem of my returning to the UK by paying N10,000
Thank God you returned. It's well
I Just thought you should know, you hold two national passports Nigerian & United State of America. An International Passport would be necessary if you are leaving the entire planet show that you are a citizen of earth.
Thanks for watching. Noted
I think she's a Nigerian
I knew it would come to money 💰…the stress involved with Nigerian 🇳🇬 immigration process is something else…this video is quite informative. Thanks for this beautiful sis ❤️
I knowwww
Well, always remember to renew your passport before traveling !!!
@@anneebiefung8591 thanks for watching
Seems you were wrongly advised. You certainly required a visa on your US passport to enter or exit Nigeria as a US citizen.
Or once you entered Nigeria with your TC, you immediately get your Nigerian passport renewed and both passports needs to be presented at the point of exit.
Although having all correct travel documents will not stop their soliciting but it puts you in position to say no
Please watch the new video I put out to address somethings. Im sure ur comment will differ once u watch it. Thanks for stating ur views
She doesn't need no visa on her passport assuming she had her expired passport alongside the TC. She need no visa on her US passport to exit Nigeria.
@@jaywon_optimum ur correct because she is an American citizen... but the curruption is real and everywhere in Nigeria so they were trying to convince her otherwise
@@realtalkwithbunmi you must present a prove that you enter Nigeria or the passport was issue to you by America Embassy in Nigeria.....madam its the same process if it happens in US soil
To enter not to exit if your Nigerian passport us expired
God is great, this is really interesting to watch, thanks for sharing with us ma'am
Thanks for watching
It’s important to confirm details from the Nigerian embassy in situations like this. Some Nigerian embassies don’t present information clearly.
Thanks for watching
Travel certificate is a valid and legally accepted worldwide when a person doesn't have their passport on them. Some Africans immigration personnels across Africa enjoy exporting their ignorant victims. If you like, have all the documents you require, they will find reasons to delay you
@@michaelsheltonnagbe5456 You are very right. There is always a reason to delay you.
@@realtalkwithbunmi pls sister I need ur contact
@@ufoebubeemmanuel2028 Hello. Pls reach me at realtalkwithbunmi@gmail.com. thanks
Thank you my sis my co-worker send this to me he has not even listen to what you about to say .This is horrible but I love your courage that why I kept my Nigeria Passport updated always because I can't stand all that nonsense in Nigeria and their immigration officer beging money from you for no reason. We should say NO TO EXPLOITATION IN OUR OWN COUNTRY .....SHAME on all the Department in charge of this I wish you can send this to Dabiri-Erewa Abike she always boost that we can come to Nigeria without headache.
Did u tell that ur coworker that this is ur sis...lol. I actually updated the info because I just knew that a law has been decreed that allows us to travel to Nigeria with expired passport and US passport or any country u are in. Try to watch the updated video. Thanks my darling brother.
@@realtalkwithbunmi Yes of course I did I told him that you my sister .👌👌👌
I really enjoyed your content, thanks.
Thank u so much
But again.... thats what makes Nigeria a fun place to visit and be at 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Lolllll
The mistake you made was that you should have made a copy of the travel certificate to show immigration when leaving the country. I had the same issue earlier this year. My passport had expired and there were no booklets so I got a travel certificate. When I picked up the certificate, the guy was kind enough to tell me to make sure I keep a copy of the certificate to show on my way out of Nigeria.
That was not the problem. They had my TC right in front of them on the computer. We were both looking at it together. So it's not a problem of copy. Thanks a lot for yr contribution
@@realtalkwithbunmi The fact was that they wanted to exploit you , you know ...give some cash and you go your way
Wow, such a stress. Very informative video.
Thanks for watching. I posted an update too
It is very sad that they try to exploit you in your own country. I am glad that you did not give them anything and caught your fight. This video will make a lot of people aware of issues that they might face and choose the best option before travelling. your experience is worth sharing. Nice video
I thank God I did not give in too
See those evil spirits we pray against in the village? They ain’t in the village. They’re are everywhere airports, visa offices etc
lollllll. I know
This is sad! I am a Liberian born but i have a Norwegian citizenship. I experienced same in Kenya and Liberian despite the fact i had a visa. I stood my ground and use words like i dont believe in corruption and they let me go
Wowwwww, thanks for sharing ur experience too.
I really feel for you. That was done to my wife when she travel to Nigeria after a long time. She was exploited and decided never to go to Nigeria again. After I paid visa fee at the immigration office in lagos, she was almost missed her flight with the trouble they gave her claiming that she did not have a visa after I paid for the visa. It is completely a shame
Awww so sorry she went through that. But did u watch my update, now we can travel with expired Nigeria passport and American pp. I did not know until recently. Thanks for watching
Please be informed that nigeria has recently informed airlines to let nigerians with expired passport boatd if they re coming to nigeria.
Under international protocol, u can only board to another country if ur passport is valid.
An expired passport will denial u right to board. A very good friend of mine just an expired passport to travel to nigeria with his family of four passengers. Note he has got british passport on him but the nigeria passport expired only him
@@olabanjofashakin1543 yes, I shared that in the update video I did. Kindly check that out.
@@olabanjofashakin1543 yes, I shared that in the update video I did. Kindly check that out.
Waoh!!!! This is so cumbersome. I can’t believe you went through all these issues. Naija and corruption, a total No, No. Good thing you got there safe and got back home safe. Enjoyed watching.
My sister, I went through it ooooo
You rock, we explained
My thing is this - Coming from a lesser developed country in the caribbean you can't take any chances. I think with living in North America for so long some of us who have lived abroad take it for granted on how flexible those societies are and forget the level of bureaucracy and lack of critical thinking in the institutions at home. Personally I would have NEVER traveled without my expired passport or some kind of correspondence from my embassy in the US. When they give you just that piece of paper they leave you up to exploitation. I know someone who went Nigeria for the first time and one of the officers told him to wait in a separate room. He waited for over an hour and then she returns , shuts the door behind her tightly and demands a bribe from him saying that she was very nice to him and she deserved it. Of course he didn't give in and eventually she had to let him go. That's the ting I hate about Nigerian culture - the bribery demanded by persons in uniform.
Thank u for expressing ur opinion, and thanks for watching
@@realtalkwithbunmi 😂
Thank you for this Information. Nija my Nija, who did this to us? Thank you also for taking your stand not to bribe the frustrated bad eggs. Like you said, we should always get our docs intact to avoid their unnecessary delay.
Thank u so much for watching
When you don’t travel with the right and necessary documents, you will expose yourself to all sorts and you either do the needful or bribe them. They were actually nice to let you in and out. Always travel with your expired passport hidden somewhere. In my case, myself, my husband and 3 kids got visa on arrival on our American passport which cost over $1000 so we did not have any issues coming back to the US. I also took my expired Nigerian passport with me and I processed a new one Nigerian passport during my stay which gives me a dual citizenship… less headaches on my next travel home
Nigerian officers are something else, thank God you were successful without bribing as they always demand, May God deliver that country called Nigeria.
Thank u somuch for watching
Being a Nigerian is a big problem in all ramifications my dear! In 2019 I traveled to Nigeria, and the custom officer said that I should pay money so that they don't have to search my bags! I had all my documents and passport complete, but just because of the little money that they want to get from you, they can even make you to miss your flight! Be careful with those people!
You are right. They just want money at all cost
Oh just Wow 😳 Nigeria is such a mess... I went through a lot at the airport as well. The officers are thieves all of them!
Thanks for sharing your experience sis
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing urs too. I think I watched ur video where u surprised ur mom right
Very informative, please do a vlog on the covid-19 protocol of entering Nigeria as well. Sorry to hear about your situation with Nigeria you need to hear or confirm from 5 to 10 sources because the right hand don't work with left hand ......Same situation here (New York) in terms of renewing Nigeria passports or obtaining an EITC ....Glad you didn't pay them cos when I went to Naija with an expired passport , I told the Immigration to deport me back to Naija while I was in Nigeria(lol) and we're all speaking the same language. They gave up and said this one don't go America and come with craziness and just go oga.....I was well prepared for their silliness....................
Thank u for sharing your experiences.
Hahahaha
Generally when you have a travel certificate with an expired passport, you place the certificate inside the expired passport because the certificate was issued to you because of the passport. As you know, both the US passport, the certificate and the Nigerian passport have to be scañned. I think that was where the issue came from.
As you know, the amount of corruption in that country called Nigeria is so overwhelming that even Buhari would ask for bribe too.
I appreciate ur feedback. It was a learning curve for me as well. Pls I will like to see more of ur engagement on my channel. Pls join my family......smiles
You make me laugh
@@emilymayou2791 then laugh....lol
This is just disheartening 💔. The bad eggs keep on disappointing and gives us bad image.
Nigerians To The World.
I know
Thank you for this information. Nevertheless, you need to take your old passport with you and also the Travel Certificate always even they’re old or expired. When you got to Nigeria, you should have asked your husband to send your old passport by courier to you in Nigeria before you travel back. You did not do anything wrong though but that is how our Civil Servants in Nigeria make life miserable for us with foreign passports. Also, in Nigeria, you should have applied for a new Nigerian passport on emergency, although that will depend on how long you’re staying for in Nigeria.
I appreciate the fact that you stood your grounds by not bribing your way out and did not miss your flight. Thanks for sharing.
Thank u so so much sir for the wonderful comment, however things are not as straight as u have listed sir. I spent 2 weeks in Nigeria, none of the things u mentioned can be achieved under that time frame. Maybe if u are opportune watch this th-cam.com/video/z6wGeQHJ0WA/w-d-xo.html ....smiles
Good evening Mama B, your recent comment on my update video made me trace your previous comment here. I truly appreciate this comment and you spoke so well ma. There is nothing to apologize for here cos it's well constructed and written. Thank u so much ma.
Thank you for this information, this will be of help to me, because I was told that I need a visa in my Spanish passport to visit Nigeria. Great information 👍
Is only in Nigeria Airport that we get headache for our own Country,is a big shame.
They too much sis
That's how corrupt Nigeria is. You don't need visa on your US Passport to return to US as a US citizen. They tried it to us around March 2021. My 16yrs old traveled to Nigeria with the travel certificate as we couldn't renew her passport. I told the Nigerian Immigration officer that he is full of crap and immediately he asked for "something ". I ignored him and we went and boarded our flight. It is a nightmare to visit home. It's a shame. Thanks for sharing my sister. Very informative 👏 👌.
I know. Once u dont give in, they will let u go. Thank u for sharing your experience.
Exactly, they saw that you were not sure if you needed a visa on an American passport to go to America. Exploitation at its peak.
Madam, if it's possible please share the detects of Nigerian laws related to issues of this nature. Your advice is fare enough but it's not the solution except the excerpts of the laws, please. With the information contained therein, everyone would know the standard/state laws surrounding the issue. Thanks.
Thanks for stating ur views. I also agree with u
So sorry for your awful experiences. And thank you so sharing. Well appreciated.
Thank u so much for watching
You can travel to Nigeria with expired passport without a travel certificate. Is a new law . Dat was how I went to Nigeria d last time because you are going to your country but when returning back abroad you must renew it.
Not a lot of ppl dropping comments have said this except you. Yes you're right n that's why it's gd to be current with news that affect you. The TH-camr herself seem ignorant of this new law hence the reason there's no update comment or video from her.
I updated the info in my new uploaded video. Thanks for sharing
Im sure u will love to see my updated vide unicorn.
@@realtalkwithbunmi I will ma'am, bless..
I so appreciate you and others sharing what you have experienced going to and from Nigeria, thank you so so much..
Something needs to be done about it for sure!!!!
What people do for money....
Thank u so much!
Omo thank God you did not miss your flight and you didn't fall for their extortion🙏🏿🙏🏿. Why are these people always want to frustrate us though 🤷🤷.
I know. I thank God so much.
Not all Nigerians immigration officials are corrupt. The officers I've met travelling through ABV were professional and helpful. That said, I've heard similar stories as regards corrupt practices going on in our airports. Nigeria need to weed out these bad officers.
I totally agree with u. Thanks for watching
Thats exactly how I would have dealt with those rotten eggs in Buhari's service. Thank God u have an alternative .
I thank God too
Corrupt civil servants are always in service regardless of who the President is.
Those Immigration officials will still be there long after Buhari is gone!
Nigeria has been corrupt before Buhari; even before the world was made !!!
This is really informative. I appreciate this. My Nigerian passport has expired and I was thinking of travelling documents but now I will rather get a Visa on my Belizean passport. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
Before u make ur choice, watch this. Then u will thank me more if u get to the end. I hope to hear from u in that video

So informative...thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for watching
I'm sorry but I had no issues when I went to Nigeria I was born and raised in NYC all I did was pay.for my visa... when I got there they looked at my passport and that was it. I met up with my husband had the best time ever in Nigeria and came back home to America. No issues at all none.
Yeah, not everyone will encounter same situation. Nothing in life is exact thesame. I'm so happy 4 u though. Thanks a lot for watching and contributing. ❤❤❤
This is informative, thanks for sharing sis.
Thanks for watching
Sis, this story applies to all Nigerian embassy all over the world, am not surprised.
hmmmmmmm, its well
Can you share your experience with the Nigerian Immigration in your state of residence in the United States and Nigeria if possible. I recommend you do this to help stop or create awareness of these illegal practices of the immigration officers because of their greed.
Watch out for tomorow video
This kind of shenanigans is not just in Nigeria, and as a Ghanaian I can attest to that.. as a matter of fact most if not all African countries all the immigration officers always try to extort money from visitors of their own country but they'll never do it to a westerner....extortion is everywhere in Africa
So true. I was wondering if they do thesame to strangers too. Thanks for watching. Please I love to see more of u on my channel. Thanks
Your video was informative. However, you admitted you did not have your expired passport. The immigration officers were right to question how you entered the country since you traveling out with a foreign passport. I appreciate your courage to not give bribes. Well done.
I hope you know what a travel certificate stands for?
@@simeonolagbenro8700 I hope you are not trying to be condescending with your question. I can assure you that she or anyone in similar situation will take the expired passport and attach it to the Travel certificate. You are dealing with Nigerian government. I had a friend went through something similar. He attached the certificate to expired passport.
Thanks for noting down ur view
She mess up when she didn't travel with her passport....
@@onyekwereiwobi1195 well, all things work together for good for those that know their lord. If I did not mess up, how would u get to know me or listen to me? If everything was smooth, then I have no story to tell. Thanks for watching

Wow thank God you didn't miss your flight ✈️, I can see Nigeria immigration system is improving. Aunty mi please next time make your enquiries from the Nigeria embassy proply before traveling. Thanks for sharing with us ❤️❤️❤️
Thank u so much for ur genuine concern. This video has given me access to lots of info now. If u have chance, watch the update

It all still comes down to leadership. Leadership is everything
@@360integration true
My sis, u are right. Only God can help Nigeria
My experience is not bad because I have my Nigeria expired passport and my U.S. passport to go back. When I got to Nigeria, the immigration officer said my passport was expired, and I said yes, I know that. She asked what I had to give her, and I said I didn't have anything, and I was sorry. And when I was about to leave back to the U.S the I gave my expired passport to the immigration office he said it's expired again I said to him I know that and he asked what I have again I said to him nothing am sorry. He just stamped my Nigeria passport. he gave it back, and I left.
I'm so happy for you. Watchout for a reaction video for your comment. Thanks for sharing
So so Sad, everything with our civil servants in Nigeria always end up in money. Every time you’re exciting to go home and as soon as you get to Nigeria airport you’re already get fed up with the kind of look this people gave you.
How did u know, so trueee. My family was my only motivation why I did not regret going to Nigeria
Nigeria is finished the only want to take money from you , thanks for sharing I enjoyed watching new friend here
Thanks for watching
Similar thing happened to me on my way back to England. I missed my flight.Exploitation from entry to exit.
wowww, u missed ur flight. What a wawu....Its well
When traveling with tc try and make a photocopy and keep . The photocopy is what you will give to the immigration when coming back to your base irrespective of the passport you are holding.
Thanks for the comment. But it was not a matter of photocopy. We were both looking at my TC right on the computer where they had stored it. So its not a matter of copy. Thank u so much for stopping by and watching.
This is so ridiculous. Corruption is deeply engrained into us. Thanks for sharing ma'am. But here's the question I have. If one has an American passport as a citizen and also a valid Nigerian passport. The person is able to leave Nigeria to the US with no issues right?
Please dont miss tomorrow video. It answers this question and u will be so happy u did.
@@realtalkwithbunmi okay then. See you tomorrow
From experience,even if all the requirements were met, they wold still ask for a tip : "oga wetin you have for us?" But thanks for the useful information.
Thanks for the heads-up. But damn, When will these people change? Smh
Thanks so much
I understand, the reverse was the case. You were so lucky you were allowed to go and did not miss your flight. And you know what?? It was wrong you had no visa. Na testimony oo💃😆
But because I had no visa is why I used the travel certificate
Thanks for the information. Good to know. In my opinion, the delay or issues that arose on your exit occurred because you told the Immigration officer you came in with your American passport which had no entry visa to Nigeria, you didn’t disclose to him you came into the country on a travel certificate, you were granted entry based on the issued travel certificate. He must be wondering how you passed through without a entry visa in your American passport. God be praised for journey mercies.
@aderonke owolabi, that is not the case. They have my TC on the computer right in front of them. No right thinking immigration officer will think I left America with an empty passport and no TC or Nigerian passport. I cannot even cross in to the plane. Thanks for ur comment but that was not the case.
@@realtalkwithbunmi travel certificate without an expired passport? Mbanu..!
Wow thank you for this .. it is an eye opener.. I will get a visa
Watch my new update video. That will guide ur decision
Thank you so much for this info. I really do appreciate 😍❤️
Glad it was helpful!
If you remember Davido case some few years again. Similar thing. You were suppose to have your 9ja passport even if expire to exist with your US passport even if no visa on it.
I dont have an idea of Davido case though. But we thank God for everything. Thank God for my mess that created the message. Now u all watched, u know me and I made some little change too. U see how God works? Everything work together for good for those that know their God. No regret
The TC is for you to travel to Nigeria and renew your Nigeria passport.
Nope, only if u dont have a means of coming back. You dont have to go to Nigeria to renew ur passport. It can be done just here in America. So that is not the sole aim of TC
@@tobookoro3779 see how I dey look fake immigration experts who suddenly know everything. Boy bye 👋
Please where can someone obtain the Tc from???
@@lisaluvmuahmuah.6068 from the Nigeria embassy in your host country.
@@lisaluvmuahmuah.6068 if you are a Nigerian citizen with dual nationality and expired Nigerian passport you don't need a TC to travel to Nigeria.
Thx for your video am about to travel to Nigeria and am currently confronting all this issues this is helpful. If you with Passport go through all this how about me with Green card really really Crazy situation
Glad it was helpful!.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 🙏
Pls watch the latest video. Highly informative
Sister, next time you travel with a travel certificate to Nigeria, ensure you do a passport renewal of your Nigeria passport in Nigeria, that covers your exit from Nigeria
Thanks for the advice
Traveling to Nigeria will sick you out. If you have no reason going there don't even dream of it except if you want to face stress. They will always find a reason to collect money/bribe. To the honest truth they don't do this things to foreigners. Even with your visa in USA passport they will still ask for bribes and with ur Nigeria visa you only have 1 month to spend in Nigeria.
They will say you don't have Nigeria passport but to get that passport is a headache. Just in a short sentence everything about that country government is just bad.
I totally agree with u. Even with every document complete, they still want something
I’m a new Subscriber
Thank u so much. Appreciate
I had a similar experience! and almost missed my flight. Corruption is in their blood
hmmmmm, really. wowww
The last time I went to Nigerian embassy in Rome was in 1988 and I vowed never to go there again. I travel to Nigerian 4 times yearly and many times I have travelled to Nigeria at times with my whole family with Nigeria expired passport renewing it in Nigeria or travelling back with Italian passport. It is your right to tavel with your countries expired passport so far you are entering into your country. Google!!!
Let's not confuse ourselves. As a dual citizen, your passports must always be valid. Always renew them whenever they expire.
Now, if you are traveling to Nigeria, present your US passport at the US point of departure and when you land in Nigeria, present your Nigeria passport at the point of entry in Nigeria to enter Nigeria.
When leaving Nigeria back to the US, present your Nigeria passport at the point of departure from Nigeria and when you get to the US, present your US passport at the point of entry into the US.
If you understand this, you will save yourself of being held up when travelling.
Thanks for watching 👀
I think peopel should be like you, not "bend", they use these tactics to extort funds from people. If you have a foreign passport and you are leaving Nigeria, you should be allowed to leave with no issue.
Thanks for ur comment
I was there in February, with an expired Nigeria passport. The officers were going to exploit me but thank God I have my sister in law she works at the airport as an engineer. As soon as they saw her they could not ask for the money again. Going back to the USA, I experienced the same thing but I only gave #1000 each for each officer because I was having just an American passport with me.
Im so overgenerous with giving. I I was going to give them money, I would have given each one about 10k. So I thank God I did not give them.
Vital information
Thanks so much
Sorry for your ordeal. And I'm happy you stood your ground. All they wanted was to exploit you. And thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank u so much for watching
Thx!Great story ❤️it
Thanks
Okay, I'm a dual citizen and just traveled to Nigeria with an expired passport (expired in 2018). The immigration officers were very nice (really surprised). One of them took me to a room and gave me a document to sign which stated that I'll have a new passport or at least begin the processing of a new passport before I leave Nigeria.
I showed him a receipt that I have already begun the processing of a new passport. He looked at it, entered some details into a computer, folded it into my expired passport, and handed me back the expired passport. He told me that I must have that receipt on me when leaving Nigeria to avoid any issues.
I responded to him that I definitely will have it on me to which he smiled and sent me on my way. The whole process took less than 5 minutes. He didn't ask me for money or anything.
Wowwwwwwww, I'm so happy u met a responsible one. Hopefully we can have more pple like him. Congratulations on ur great experience 👏
@@realtalkwithbunmi Thanks. I was really surprised. Maybe I met them on a good day.
To leave Nigeria to the US yes you will need a valid visa so it can be stamped that you have departed Nigeria to the US. And for them to do this they needed to see a visa entry upon arrival. Though you might be a US Citizen a Nigerian visa on your US passport would have stipulated your duration (that is entry & leaving Nigeria). It's best to come with a renewed Nigerian passport or apply for a Visa with your Foreign Passport. But glad you didn't miss your flight.
A Nigerian visa on your US visa even if you're a citizen?
Thanks
Watch out for tomorrow video. It answers ur question. Sure u will be happy u did
You don't need USA visa on USA passport! You only need to prove how you entered Nigeria at departure which is her EC this time. The officers are scammers
@@karenefereyan6781 yes. Because you are travelling as US citizen to Nigeria.
But visa is not required if both passports are within date
What you faced was exactly what I faced showing my kids USA passport. They do this as the plane is about to leave.
I asked for a transfer so that I would nail them they refused.
wowwwww, its like their norm now to just inconvenient plle. Someone was saying in the comment that he had to part with $1000. wowwww. Thanks for sharing ur experience
Thank God for journey mercies, the immigration guys are so exploitative.
I watch where you surprised your parents with your visit and the car gift. God bless you
We hope Nigeria will get better
Awwwwww, Thank u so much sir. You are the best
Foreigners line is shorter in nigeria because not many foreigners visit Nigeria. But in coming into the USA, we have foreigners from all over the world coming into the USA.
Yes, that's right
I have also found myself in this situation but the only difference is I had my expired passport with me. Travel certificate must accompany your expired passport when you travel. The guys at Customs were right but wrong to block your return trip when you have a valid US passport
Wowwww, I was not told at the DC embassy. Also till now, I checked on line, there is no clear path to that. However, I know better
If 🇺🇲🇳🇬 the US customs officers found two passports with you , you are in big trouble) Nigeria customer offices were right , but they should not take any money from people, you need to talk to an immigration lawyer in the US 🇺🇲 about traveling with two passports , that is a illegal.(people at Nigeria Embassy are not immigration lawyers)
Interesting I did not know that
I thank God for you're success hmmm this country call nigeria
may God almighty help us uog it ooooo
Thank u so much
You also should have told them that you are a TH-camr and the American embassy will know about this situation.
I’m happy that I saw your video because my friend who is American is planning a trip to Nigeria soon and wanted to know if she needs a Nigerian Visa. I’m sending this video to her. ❤️
Ok, so her case may be different. If she is American, she should be able to use her passport without no visa. Our case is different because of Dual citizenship.
She needs a Nigerian visa to visit Nigeria. Submit the application 3months before travel (to be safe)
@@realtalkwithbunmi She needs a visa . I repeat do not let her go without a visa they will deny her entry and put her back on the flight out of Nigeria it happened to us in 2018 . I went back 2020 with my visa and didn't have any issues.
Embassies take forever just look up travel agencies who provide the visa it's expensive but worth it .
You don't sound like a regular traveller. Besides, you set yourself up from the U. S. What would it have cost you to take your expired passport with you while leaving the U S ? The fact that you only had the travel certificate and not your passport doesn't gurrabtee entry into Nigeria. You could have been anybody with an emergency travel certificate. You are lucky you did not miss the flight because one of the vultures at the airport was reasonable and god-fearing. You can now travel with an expired Nigerian passport to Nigeria. Rauf Aregbesola just made it into law.
You spoke well. Some of the immigration officers points were legal. You were very fortunate.
Well, im not a regular traveller, as I am just visiting for the first time in 11 years. Thanks 4 expressing ur view
You're very correct!! You can travel to Nigeria with expired passport.
U can also use travel service to get the Nigerian visa on your U.S passport. Just eliminating all those that try to make things hard when it shouldn’t be.
hmmmmm, thanks
That is Nigeria for you. Everyone becomes the law when there no law. JMO
hmmmmm true
Nice update 👍 thanks 👌
Thanks. Dont miss the update on friday. I have more to this
@@realtalkwithbunmi alright 👍 I'm always here
Thanks for educating us on this.
Thanks for watching. I have a great info in the updated version. U can check it out
Just sent video to my brother. I got off the phone before watching this video.He does not want to get visa.
He does not need a visa. Pls watch this. Now u will thank me after watching this th-cam.com/video/z6wGeQHJ0WA/w-d-xo.html
You are wrong from the start. You have USA passport do they stsmp you inn no how do you getting into Nigeria, the officer just help u out. You are very wrong
I don't believe she was wrong. The only mistake I can see here is not travelling with her expired Nigerian passport.
The immigration officers just wanted to exploit her.
She had 3 viable options to enter Nigeria;
1. A current Nigerian passport
2. Enter Nigeria with a travel certificate or
3. Get a visa on her US passport
@@busie87able but TC is for you to travel to Nigeria and renew your Nigeria passport for you leave the country.
My passport do not need to to be stamped. I travelled with a TC. Go back to get ur fact, and then come back to comment. You are part of the corruption system. What do u mean the officer helped me?
@truthmatter, no. U do not need to live US to renew ur passport ok. U can renew right in US
My bros, Thank u for educating him. U just explained it clear, I hope he is clear on it now.
Nigeria my country.... you can imagine immigration officers looking straight into your eyes and tell you this is Nigeria, you just have to pay for everything just because of trolley....It is well
I know... its well. Thanks for watching
You must get a visa aproved befor travel to Nigeria. I traveled Nigeria with visa and it was successful all the time. Best get visa to Nigeria when you have advance nationality nation passport.
Welldone.
Thank you, Sister Bunmi. That was a helpful information. I had a slightly similar but not as drastic experience as yours way back 2012. My Passport was not expired, but the immigration officer said the government has changed to a new kind of passport so I should not have travelled with the 'old' passport as he called it. So, I said how am I supposed to know that when the Nigeria Embassy in D.C did not tell me that when they renewed the passport for me.
Anyway, he let me go without incident but wrote a letter 'A' on my passport. I didn't know what that meant until when it was time for my departure. The immigration officer asked for my travel document. I gave him my American Passport. Then he asked for the passport I used to enter; I gave him my Naija Passport. Then he said they should not have allowed you in. Then I said who are the 'they' and why not? Then he said because the passport was the 'old' passport. Then I responded, but it is a valid unexpired Nigerian passport. Then he left me to call someone that looks like a senior officer. Both of them were looking at my Nigerian and the American passports. inside of me I was like with an American passport I don't need a Nigerian Passport to travel to the U.S. from Naija so, you can't stop me.
Long story short, they had some inaudible exchanges between them, handed back my two passports and said I should go without saying anything further.
My take is many of those immigration officers are there just to take advantage of travelers' situation to extort.
Wowwwww, what an experience. Thank you sir for sharing. I am really grateful you to ur time to share ur experience sir. Such is that character at the immigration
Can you imagine , they have started selling us at the airport already , here in uk it is foreigners line that’s the longest , but in Nigeria it is the other way rounds , bad people
Hmmmmm, Imagine
That's how we know Nigeria, this is a good eye opener for those who doesn't know. Even if your passport is not tone, you will have a page missing story inorder for you to put to them a bank note...
lolllll. I updated this video to include that we can now travel with expired Nigeria pp and......you can check the video out if u have a second. Thanks for watching
My dear you don't sound intelligent at all. Your Nigeria Passport had expired so why didn't you travel with it. You travelled with travel CERTIFICATE??? You were supposed to show them at Nigerian airport both the travel Certificate and Nigeria passport as authentic proof that you are a Nigerian and that it has expired and that was why you went for travel Certificate. Then while in Nigeria you would renew your Nigerian Passport to go back to US. You were lucky that they allowed to board the flight back to US. My dear you were totally at fault. You took for granted that you are from Nigeria and didn't prepare well for your trip. Be very careful. Don't just do this with another country.
Hi Bumni thnx so so much fr shareing ur experiences. I did learn alot tbh.. my naija pasport has expired and i wdnt even try to take the risk cus i had my first name changed whereas my naija passports got my old name.
2ndly getting a Visa on my British pp is another wahala.. with all these saga going on back in naija and coupled with the fact that ur freind who confirmed that its over 7wks yet no visa..
So that sickness right from naija still runs in the veins of even those working in the naija embassys abroad whether US,Germany,uk etc
But we got no choice really. Its better to wait than to face those horrible situations back home really.
Once again thnx so much fr your precious time yh. Really really learnt alot cus am considered travelling lol.
Bless ya Bummi
Thanks a lot. You will find this update helpful. th-cam.com/video/z6wGeQHJ0WA/w-d-xo.html. U want to get to the last part which was where the goodness is. You can actually travel with ur expired pp and British pp together.
Aw wow..but unfortunately i destroyed it cus of the issue of the different first names. So yh i guess its too late now Bummi
Very informative,thanks ma
So nice of you
I went with my two passports, travel documents and yet I went through almost the same situation. They ask directly for dollars expectially from USA. I was the last person to board. No matter what it is yet it's ridiculous. My passport was renewed but remember there is no wallet. It's horrible either way.
omg! That's what I tell pple, even if u have everything complete, they still look for a way to collect money from you. Thankks for sharing ur experince. Remember to subscribe to see more .....smiles
