Hello VJ, please I need help. My name order on my passport is different from the one on my attestation of birth/certificate. Will it affect my case? Is it something to worry about?

Eg:

Passport: Alabi Abiola George (Surname-first name-middle name)

 

Birth Attestation: Alabi George Abiola (Surname-middle name-first name)

This sample Nigerian passport,Jan-Nigerian-Scam.jpg
has a surname field that precedes a given name field. This is the case with US passports too.  Is that how it is on your passport?

 

Some passports of some countries  don’t distinguish surname from given name because culturally most people in those countries don’t have surnames.

Yes. Surname first and given names. On my passport the name order is Alabi(Surname) Given names: Abiola George

 

My attestation of birth the name order is just Alabi George Abiola (No indication of first Surname, first name or middle name). 
 

The name order on my passport  is different from the one on my attestation of birth.

I see the problem. The first and middle names are not consistent. Correct your passport
