She said:

"If you don’t need your passport urgently or you don’t have 50-90k to pay someone to process for you, this video is for you. The trick is to go to a state with less demand. Like me, I went to Nasarawa cuz it’s close to Abuja, and in six weeks, my passport should be ready. Nevertheless, you can apply in your state and wait."
