I just obtained my port from the immigration office. While going through my data page now, i found an error on my place of birth. OGOMOSO was mistakenly typed instead of OGBOMOSO. "B" was omitted. But every other information is okay. is there any implication or can i go ahead and keep using the port like that? please...my people...i really need your advice..thanks and God bless

It is better to ignore it since it is a palce of birth. The correction can only be done in Abuja and it will cost you more than the amount you used in obtaining the former.

God bless you my brother..but does it mean i have to start writing OGOMOSO instead of OGBOMOSO in any field that required my place of birth in any travelling process or doesnt matter..?

Use the port's spelling, in Nigeria they will know that it is typographical error, outside of Nigeria no body get a clue on what the real spelling it.

Why don't you the immigration and sort this out? If the problem is from them I don't see why you should pay heaps.

Nigeria na wa. They made a mistake and instead of fetching it free of charge they are demanding more payments

My dear, you better sort it out. Like that you don't have to worry over anything.

Thanks bro. Outside Nigeria presently..av started using the port like that...just that my place of birth is now OGOMOSO...No problem at all.
