I see the scenario in this video as a Nollywood act because I can\u2019t see any nexus between Nigeria general elections outcomes and the decision he took to destroy his Nigeria passport which remains the property of the Federal Government of Nigeria. I think the Nigeria immigration Service should take him up on this rash behavior to destroy the Nigeria government property.<\/p>\n<p>B: I think it&#8217;s not just the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), but all the federal government agencies (parastatals), including INEC) ought to work efficiently in apprehending unlawful behaviors fairly..<\/p>\n<p>C: I think the Nigerian&#8211;born professor should go two steps further: drop his Nigerian name and reconfigure his DNA!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An angry Nigerian professor, simply identified as Gbenga, has filmed himself tearing his travelling passport provoking outrage among fellow citizens in the diaspora.
