Madam, you are partly misinforming your audience on this. Airlines don't make immigration rules or laws but follow the immigration laws existence in the countries they fly into. Airlines do not have any discretion to accept or reject any immigration rule. Acceptablity of expired Nigerian passport to board plane enroute to Nigeria is the law, and not subject to the discretion of any Airline. Passengers should ensure that they print a copy of the immigration announcement just in case. I, relatives and friends have already flown on virtually all all major airlines into Nigeria, based on expired Nigerian passports.

@@obasantolulope2367 I guarantee you 100% that you will be stuck in Nigeria. 1. ETC works the same as expired Nigerian passport, so it is waste of money and time to get ETC to return to Nigeria, if you still have an expired Nigerian passport. 2. Your expired Nigerian passport cannot get you out of Nigeria, without another valid passport. 3. If you are currently on a UK resident permit, you cannot leave Nigeria without a valid Nigerian passport. 4. If you are already a UK citizen, but with an expired passport, you still cannot go out without a valid UK passport. 5. If you have a valid UK passport, and an expired Nigerian passport, you will be able to go out, but they will try to shake you down at the airport, unless you are able to show them evidence that you have applied for Nigerian passport before leaving UK.

They have said that as for EU airlines, it is NOT a restriction imposed by the airline but by the country. Therefore if Nigeria allows you, then it should be ok.

I think for the first time, *you have misinformed*. Coming to Nigeria on an expiry passport is not at the discretion of the airline, but the law. Airlines don't make immigration laws, but follow immigration laws of countries they fly into to avoid fines. ETC is a waste of money and time. Expired Nigerian passport effectively replaces the ETC. ETC is only necessary when one does not have an expired passport. To ensure no hassles with any airline, one should print an official copy of immigration declaration on the acceptability of expired passport entry.

I'm traveling with just cabbin bag and no luggage to reclaim in Cairo.I contacted Egyptair to ask if I will need a Visa since I have 2 separate tickets and they said if I don't have any baggage to reclaim in Cairo I can just go through transit and Visa won't be needed. But I don't know if from Nigeria I would be allowed to board because the first ticket only shows Kano to Cairo. But if I show them both tickets and the online boarding pass of both tickets would I be allowed to board from Nigeria.
