_pretty99__ said: “Y’all know u can’t use long lashes but u still go there to embarrass yourself.”

olivia__davids stated: “Don’t y’all read the guidelines before going for passport?”

holy_spireet opined: “Some of you will embarrass yourself even when you know it’s wrong. Eyelashes won’t allow the camera to capture your eyes and eye bag well. Not in Nigeria alone. Same wey you can’t take a passport photograph with a cap or glasses.”

abbyabus clarified: “The guidelines are on the website, but you all want to trend. Every eke market day, “they asked me to take out my eye lashes” 🤣”

daintyrossy said: “Did she not know before? It’s your identity no fake anything. Even nose ring not allowed lipgloss too.”
