Please do you have 1st hand experience? or are you talking about that Bus trip to Ghana??

I'm talking of my travel experiences overtime, and not just a bus trip to Ghana (what does a bus trip I took years ago have to with anything tho?)


and yes, I have had first hand experiences about how this $hithole passport I use, or the mere fact that I'm Nigerian has exposed me to so much discomfort

the fact I even have to apply for a visa to go to certain countries when my.colleagues could just waltz in there is yet another discomfort for me

If you don't experience profiling or whatever, you should thank God for that.

But denying what others go through id disingenuous.

oK, do you have 1st hand experience?

Not yet, as my 1st foreign trip is planed towards the end of this year. But reading wide, has made come to be aware of what others do pass through.

Oga no need 4 this plenty grammar, all I asked for is tell us why you think you were treated differently to another passport. The fact is this, you only know your own case and your case is not a yardstick to measure others, I travel with my Nigerian passport a lot back in the days, you are checked asked same damn question as they will ask everyone else. The fact is this, a fraction of Nigerians travel with no intention of coming back, it is at this point and the few that these immigration controls tend to be an issue,If you watch UK and Australian border force in TV you will get the gist.No need talking about the Nigerian passort etc, you get same treatment as you would have with any visa controled nation.

Not realy, Ignore those carry talk people, I challenge one of them to give 1st hand experience here. When you travel just get the details and info of where and what you are doing. We as Nigerians are not a high-risk nation of any sort.Know teh address of where you are going to, contact number etc, nor be the one dem ask simple thing like where are you visiting you begin to chop mouth then blame it on Nigerian passport U get me bro

no need for plenty grammar and you end up talking even more grammar

your own experience is equally not a yardstick to judge others, based on your own logic.

I have been profiled at the point of entry in different occasional (not all the time tho) and those of us here with similar experience can relate

Okay let me give you an instance

have you been taken to a holding room before and your currency scrutinised one by one because they assume that every Nigerian carries fake currency?
yes indeed, I had that experience

how about when we were asked to identify ourselves in a residential complex where me and my friend's rented to stay short term, and on identifying the three of us as NIGERIANS, we were taken to station for further questioning

tho they were polite and professional, and later apologised (apparently there was a jacking in the area and someone must have reported)
the stress and discomfort was too much.

those are just two experiences of more.
I have been denied a rental because I'm Nigerian too (filled it in my application and that was it)

You are our of touch with current happenings so I will not blame you, YOU ARE PROBABLY ABOVR 40 years and look old and
only old people don't get profiled as much

but if you are a man looking 35 below, chances of profiling IS HIGH.

since you insisted on my experience, I have given you two

All that you mentioned would have happened to you if you were from Jamaica. My point is not cos you are Nigerian but as far as you are a Visa national you are subject to control without notice. There was a time where the British would not let their houses to the Irish, it was the turn of the polish and more recent the Romanians. And for your illustration up there, what countries did that happen?
