Single Mother Shares Her Experience At A Passport Agency
Nigerian woman, @BilkisuA_ on Twitter shares her annoyance after she visited a passport agency.
At the agency, she was told she can’t get a passport for her daughter as a single mother unless she gets an affidavit stating she’s a single mother even though she brought necessary documents.
She wrote on Twitter:
“In 2019, I, as a single mother cannot get a passport for my daughter unless I go to court and get an affidavit stating that I’m a single mother. Even though both parents have provided necessary documents, they want the consent letter to bear Mr and Mrs Fathers name.
“I am livid.”

That's the way Nigeria is wired unfortunately. Mother is the legal guardian in this side of the world.

That's the right thing.
If you can get the father to submit the necessary documents, I think getting him to sign a consent letter should be easy too.

But if it was the man, it won't be a problem because the child bears his name.

The law is there to protect the child.
