See wetin Okoko like you don cause. angry Now because some retar`ds allowed them search and molest and harass hem like this, they will now think it is legal to do so.

No bloody officer of any law enforcement will dare search my Laptop. I will rather they arrest me than allow my right to be abused. Thats a personal property and a violation of my space.

That type of search is very illegal. What exactly is immigrations looking for on your laptop?!

They have reported it countless times for decades. But the corrupt people in power simply ignore these reports and continue with their business as usual.
God bless you for this< The Sun ran a story on this issue back in 2007 consistently for 2 weeks.

Sincere 9gerian: These are some of the things the Nigerian press should investigate and highlight. But unfortunately they'r too busy reporting politics.

The issue with Seme and the road thereto and therefrom has been the subject of numerous articles in the past.

I remember that a former colleague during my days in the media won an award for investigative reporting when he embarked on the trip undercover and wrote an in-depth and extensive report on the horrors Nigerians face on that route daily.

yuzedo: Lol! Went thru this crap last month. The foolish immigrations people singled me out for random search/questioning.

What do you do? I am a Financial Analyst in a Private Equity firm. Ok, please come down from the bus.

They go through my phone. They go through my laptop! On my laptop they saw the movie "Police Academy" and raised alarm, what am I doing with sensitive documents eh? Is this not the Police Academy in Kano? This must be classified info! Who are you and why do you have this on your system?

Chai! See the ignorant, illiterates we entrust our security!

I got home at 12am that day after leaving Accra at 7.30am. Meanwhile some days prior to that I arrived accra at 8pm. All because the Nigeria axis is a failed portion of the journey.

Police Academy, Kano! grin grin grin

This reminds me of my University days. My colleagues organized a Ghana trip from Lagos State University. I was given a free ticket being a leader of a society then. I dashed out my ticket because I lost interest in the jamboree. When those that went came back, they arrived Lagos like refugees/fugitive from Sudan. They looked haggard, tattered and chattered. Some came back with broken heads, disjointed arms.

I inquired what happened along the way. I was told some thugs at Seme border stopped them and asked for money without any justification after heavily paying the govt agencies. This led to free for all as the thugs went for reinforcement. The LASU bus taken to Ghana was badly damaged. This made our students took up the fight at least to show the Nigerianess in them. Their arrival was horrible.

Gents! Our border is a show of how our country is.

"David told us to give him our money. "These Nigerians, they will take all your money. They see American, they will take you to one small room." My throat went dry. "I have seen it with my own eyes, they take five hundred, one thousand dollars. Those Nigerians are very wicked people." It is the common comment about the Nigerian character."





cheesy ... Sounds like something I'd say.

Accra to Lagos - by road - u dey crase!

My brodas and sistas - i will let you into a secret...forget road, go by sea.

YES, ask local woodman to build you a 20ft wooden boat - buy Yamaha outboard motor - buy life-jacket - practise your front crawl/doggy paddle in case of emergency and you will be then ready for travel.

You will avoid the packs of hungry hyenas on the road - you can carry 50K luggage, no wahala - you can bring back big booty Ghana house-girl Maame or Nana without passport - you will not be stopped once - stay close to coastline (3km) - any further out, you go meet pirates.

Good luck
