I wasn't asked anything at JFK Airport..I only typed my details digitally as requested.

I had a very non-forgettable terrible experience at Rome though....carry all your documents for peace sake abeg. Nigerians do not have a good reputation abroad. It's just terrible. Istanbul wasn't bad . Same with Oslo , Singapore and other African countries I have visited.

I dealt with the immigration guys at Monrovia though, they asked foolish questions. Can't believe I have to go through stress to enter an African country. It's simply ridiculous
