Nigerian Reacts as Emirati Man Gets New Passport in Eight Minutes at Dubai Airport

A Nigerian X user has reacted to a viral video showing an Emirati man receiving a new passport in just eight minutes at Dubai International Airport.

In the video, the man explained that he discovered during a safari trip that his passport had expired. He was reportedly advised to visit Dubai International Airport, where he was informed that the renewal process could be completed within about 10 minutes.

However, the man said the entire process took only eight minutes.

He displayed his expired passport before showing the newly issued document and expressed appreciation to the UAE authorities and airport officials for the speed and efficiency of the service.

The video attracted reactions online, including from a Nigerian X user who expressed disbelief over how quickly the process was completed.

“Nigerians will think this is AI,” the user wrote.

The reaction has since drawn attention to the differences in public-service experiences and the growing use of technology to speed up government services in some countries.
