I am writing from my phone lying down in a cold bare floor, locked up in Hosea Kakuta Airport, if there's any Namibian or anyone who works at the airport here in Namibia reading this, you can do whatever you want, I just want my people to know that am suffering here.

The wifi in this room is slow so I will only update when I can please and if they don't notice am having a phone in here

I heard so much good things about Namibia also from this forum, about the country been a tourist center and how beautiful the country is so I decided to apply for a visa and explore, also I have a Pastor friend here in Namibia that I intended seeing and staying at his place when I get here for the period of visit. That's how it all started..

I have a good job in Nigeria so I saved up some few months of my salary and allowances for this trip. I applied for my visa in Abuja and sharply it came out, although I spent a lot before it came out and also paid some extra charges to some staffs there at the embassy that said if I don't pay them I might be denied. For just my visa alone I spent over 500k because of the treats of getting from some staffs there that will always call me and tell me the have a lot to do for me to get the visa, after me submitting with valid documents and met all their requirements.

When I first paid 100k after submitting I wanted to stop paying but I said how will my 100k go just like that so became a maga that once u start paying u will keep paying till u get what u want so they took advantage of me and I kept paying but the visa came out.

LEOSIRSIR:

justwise:

All my document are genuine and they scanned me and found nothing but they said I don't have a plan for coming to Namibia. I wonder what plan they need, All because i am Nigerian. Is coming to see their country and my friend not a plan ?

Pidgin2:

It's not because you are a Nigerian

Your story is not adding up..
No offense intended, but how can you spend up to 500K just for Namibian Visa .
How can you be so gullible
How can you let such blackmail and exploitation happen to you? Nah witchcraft.

I can't just rap my head around that. Do you know that 500k can pay for the Visa application (with exclusion of any medical/police report or VFS charges), for Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, USA, Brazil all together.
And you will still have a lot of CHANGE remaining

What exactly were going to Namibia to do, that made you so desperate

What type of Visa did you apply for, what reasons have the Namibian immigration officers given you, that is making them deny you passage

Did you show good prove of accommodation?
Did you show prove of financial backing?
Did you book a Round/Return flight (necessary in cases of a Tourist/Visit Visa)
Did you convince the immigration officers at the checkpoint on the Purpose of your Visit
You need to convince/explain to them reasonably..
And as a Nigerian you probably need to have a GOOD reason for coming into the Country


Note, in most Countries, A visa doesn't guarantee you free access to enter the Country, you will most likely be subject to Immigration control officials..

It's normal, even in the West, that's why occasionally some people are turned back to their Country despite arriving at the airport of their Visa destination with a Valid Visa. IT HAPPENS.

If USA embassy gives you Visa in Nigeria, and you travel to JFK USA, on arrival you can still be denied access to the Country, the will send you back on a return flight, though it's not rampant, but it happens occasionally, sometimes the give reasons, sometimes the don't Give.

I know stereotypes happen, but a times Nigerians are the cause of their woes

Pidgin2:


He hasn't told us what really happened before implying that it's because he is a Nigerian. Some other Nigerians go there and are not harassed like that. Even people who travel to more advanced countries are not illegally detained without reason. Let him tell us the full story and you will know that there is much more involved

Even the bribe he paid to the visa officials might be one of the issues, what is the need of bribing them with such an amount if he was genuinely going for only a visit? it all depends

Collyno82:
u might be right. but my annoyance is ordinary Namibia of all countries harassing our citizens, E bee as it get

Been following up this pastor for years and during that time I also met a Namibian lady via his page and we started talking too, we got intimate without seeing each other and it actually felt real not because am seeking for this citizenship or planning to marry her for selfish reasons and leave her, I know you might be thinking that but seriously I actually felt something in there sincerely and I knew meeting her will be awesome.

Don't come here to judge me that I left my country, job, spent my money and risked my life to go and see a lady, the truth is 80% of those reading this will do the same like me, 10% will escape if their very religious and the other 10% if they are married with kids and a lot of responsibility but young promising dude like me will jump and grab it. Am not justifying my actions but I also believe its not the end of the world and I get back to feet because am really broken now.

After 1 year of talking and getting into each other, we decided to take our relationship to the next level. The lady moved from her parents house wanted to rent a room but she decided to rent a flat in our names which she sent me copies of the agreement and receipt. We both agreed that I will come over and we can leave happily there because of the same believe " Namibia is very peaceful and better than Nigerian to build a home and raise our kids". I have a good knowledge of IT and I studied Computer science she said she will introduce me to her uncle who will give me a better job but he has to see me first because when she told him about me, he said he doesn't trust Nigerians so I have to make him believe am really in love with this lady.
