Or you note her name and make your complaint to their twitter handle.

So how was the interview?

My goodness. Those people frustrated me, I had to pay #1000 for opening file and #5000 for processing fees. They were seriously annoyed with me that I made payments online even when all my documents were complete. I had to be doing alot of begging on top of my money so that they can attend to me. The woman there claimed that everyone that paid online always pays a compulsory processing fee. Though I know that money was illegal but I didn't want them to delay my port so I just paid. My port is scheduled to be ready in a week time as seen in the printed form after capture

Which location was that? If you had made your complaints to them via twitter while still in the vicinity of the office while this was going on, I'm sure you will have been special treatment after that. They would have received a call from Abuja, and you know what that means?
Gavrelino123: 1:20pm On Nov 02, 2018
Gavrelino123:
Good Aft house, FESTAC or IKOYI port office,which is the fastest in Lagos..? Which would you recommend for a first timer...? Kindly,how long does it take for it to be Ready? What is the cost.? God bless you all...
Please who hs sn answer to the above questions.?

Yes you can. I also made an error in my place of birth which I corrected for #2000 naira. All you have to do is to let the person processing your port aware of the error, he will take it to their engineer to correct it but they will demand money from you. So be prepared

undecided

I will be ready for these people (Ikoyi Immigration/port Office) this time.

My last visit they got away with murder. After making veiled and open threats that my port renewal application would remain in limbo forever, they compelled me to drop some change. I was forced to play ball because I had travel plans that could not be rescheduled. This time I am ready to get into the mud pit with them for as long as they wish.

Also visualize the craziness of an armed immigration police (IP) officer on duty, reeking of alcohol at 2pm in the afternoon and threatening to shoot a port renewal applicant over some imaginary offence. undecided I saw all of this at the Ikoyi port office on my last visit - and the senior officers in that place stood by and chose to do nothing while all this nonsense was going on.

Instead of doing their jobs quickly and efficiently, immigration officials were more concerned with asking of the public - "who is helping you?" as a prelude to the inevitable requests for bribes. angry

I will probably have to make plans for twitter communication with their superiors in Abuja - time will tell how things turn out next week.

I applied for an international port online, paid only the official amount, went for my capturing on Friday in Edo State, collected my port 4 days later without paying any extra.

Tthat means nothing.
I went to their head office here in Abuja and I was humiliated also.
It sucks.
It's boldly written #17500 on their website but the guys in charge requested me to pay 25k.
I was annoyed and I even bargained 23 but nothing was done.
This country is something else.
