Everyone can get a Nigerian passport?

Question

I heard that anyone can go to the Nigerian embassy and get a Nigerian passport. Is that true? It could be use to work as a Holidaymaker in the UK for a year.

Answer 1

Nigerian passports might be available, but they are fraudulent.  Getting caught with with one gets you deported and permanently barred from re-entry.  Nigeria is the "fraud capital of the world," and anyone with a Nigerian passport gets special scrutiny.
