The passport you see here is the hottest invitation card in Nigeria, today. There are only 150 of the handcrafted masterpiece. Each of the cards will soon be in the hands of 150 persons chosen through a delicate process that has involved nomination by citizens, via the internet, of persons adjudged to be among 150 of the most influential persons in Nigeria. The nominations are also going through a special panel.
.
Inscribed in the inner front cover of the passport are the following words:
“These are to request in the name of Chief Tony Okoroji, Chairman of the Board, Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), all those whom it may concern, to allow the bearer, having been duly nominated as one of the 150 most influential persons in Nigeria, to pass freely with a spouse, without let or hindrance, and to afford them every courtesy they may need, to fully enjoy the show of shows: the super-exclusive and historic COSON GREEN BALL at Shell Hall, MUSON Centre, Lagos, on Friday, May 30, 2025, at 5.00 pm, and that they may freely mix with the Glitterati and be photographed by the Paparazzi and enjoy the walk on the green carpet, the exquisite cocktail and finger-licking chops, the best entertainment anywhere in the world and the best cuisine money can buy”

Each passport bears the name and photograph of the person to whom it has been issued and comes in a specially crafted package. The passport cannot be bought, transferred or acquired by any amount of money
