And you dont want to tell them you school abroad. This is what has been happening to me all summer wherever I go, eventually people ask me where I go to school but I dont want unneccessary attention. They start looking at me differently when I tell them I'm in the US. They'll now start asking me what magic I used to get visa,etc.....lol....How best does one handle this situation

It is obvious a lot of Nigerians want to be somewhere outside their own country, you can tell them you 're not ready to answer any unecessary questions.

But the poster said "politely", I don't think your answer isn't rude.
@Poster, If you don't want them to know you study abroad, don't tell them you study in the first place.
