I know the dude now, he is a friend and a great programmer on nairaland too.
I am glad he was able to pull through, that question is a very vague one indeed.

How so? A BST can be balanced no?

Both of you simpletons need not display your catastrophic stup.idity to the world via Nairaland... Mia Khalifa whose real name is Mia Callista, was born into a Lebanese Christian family, catholic to be precise, and she was raised in that religion.

Now you two, go back to the cave, play hide and seek or something, when cartoons for PG-13 comes on, you can come back. Adults are having fun at the moment.

To a separate room with a paper test lasting 1hr plus the emotional delay torture? Guy, u nor try? You can ask a simple question at the entry desk with some sense. A border agent has asked me what my thesis project is about after expressing admiration of my being mechanical engineering student. That is a kind of test.

You guys should stop being emotional about such things. I spent about the same time in the past being grilled in an EU country about 10 years ago in a similar manner. Mine was even more than a test because the guy that interviewed me, I suspect, got a copy of a book with very difficult questions around my area of specialization.

That is the way they do things based on the discretion of the Border control officer's supervisor. If you do not like it then do not try to migrate to the country simple.

I don't think this is about Trump. .The officers at the point of entry might have seen something about him that bothered them..it is a routine check..Stuffs like this have being on even before trump..

Note..I am not a Fan of Trump,just laying out the facts

It was the Qatar airways flight and lay over in Qatar which he did as result of funds but all border agent are trained to sniff such situations as probable terrorist instructions stopovers

He should prove he is a software Engineer.
Period.
He should be able to do that with confidence and pride.

I cringe when people are emphatic about what they don't know. I'm a Software Engineer and I'm sure you're not one, if you're one then you will know BST is not an appropriate question for that situation. If they had asked him only about the Abstract Class then I won't complain but to ask him a data structure question? Even Google dey give people syllabus to study for interview.

For the records, I've passed through that same JFK questioned appropriately about my profession and it was simple and straightforward.

Nigerians shaa....he should prove he is a software engineer...will be sounding/talking naive... That's bullshit.

You ve been issued a valid visa..what's all the grilling for? Ridiculous enough, terrorists who re geniuses will still answer questions in their field, enter the US and still blow America away..

Trump is just being hard on himself. All those who ve bin involved in one terrorist attack or the other on US soil apart from 9/11 were Americans...citizens.

Its just Trump being Trump with all his travel ban and shit....

Cargo Vs Courier (Are they different?)

This is a brilliant question people ask.
Also, its a question you are asking right now.

What is Common between "Cargo and Courier"?
Transport and Delivery are the common factors between
the two.

Transport.
Involves moving goods from one location to another,
nationally and internationally, through the appropriate
means and routes.

Delivery.
The delivery of goods goes to the planed destination.
However, this brings about the question "What is been
transported? and How does this question lead to the difference?

While, transport and delivery are similar to them,
the nature of goods transported shows the difference.
In other words, (what is been transported).

Here are 3 differentiating factors:

1) Size of Individual goods: Large goods are simply
considered as cargo while smaller goods are considered
Parcels for courier.

2) Quantity of goods: Bulk goods that are equal in weight
and size to and individual large ones, are also regarded
as cargo.

3) Durability of material: Fragile goods are mostly regarded
as cargo. but is more transported by cargo planes than,
by ships.

Hence, cargo services are most favourable for transporting,
larger and heavier goods, while the courier service is more
favourable for transporting parcels.

I dont think he still uses his nairaland handle again sha, like many other programmers, he seems to have left nairaland.

yes of course, is there a standard code to keep it balanced? and is that the best way to authenticate if a person is a software engineer?

No. They should not give you visa and start treating visitor or resident as petty criminal. Migration is every country bound. You don't wanna know the amount of foreigner coming to work in or visit Nigeria. So it is not a one way street. They make money from visa fees, their operating air carrier makes business and foreigners pay tax too. If you wanna give test. State it clearly in the visa application process and don't delay the person in am empty room to psychologically break him/her down.

As blackman, u accept this as norms just as you accept cheating male spouse, bad infrastructure, poor school, bad customer service and whole lots. To rational westerners, they know this is dehumanization. That is why the guys were sorry on twitter.

You people just come and start blabbing thrash on the internet when you do not even know what you are talking about. A visa does not grant you automatic entry into any country in the world. It can be cancelled at the point of entry and you will get deported back to your country of origin.

The fact that you ascribe this to race just shows your level of ignorance. Watch channel4 programs on UK border force and see the way White citizens of the US, Australia etc are grilled in a similar manner........go to youtube, if you cannot access those channels......even whites get deported and visas cancelled

I presume you are one of those who think that a little taste of the white man's way of life washes away the 'sin' of your black colour hence you generalize and insult the black race that it accepts mediocrity and the things you listed. Hide your head in shame for not everyone accepts such black or white.

If you feel you will be humiliated like they do to you in Nigerian High commissions where you spend the whole day going through bureaucracy just to get visas to do business, then take your business elswhere.

I guess you know this is not a first time visitor. He is a resident. Had probably visited the US for more than 50 times. He is a CEO and the co-founder of Tech company. What make you think CEO would pass a technical test. The higher you go, your job becomes talent recognition and management. This guy has been paying tax. I don't know why you don't see the problem here. You are alone!

You brought up first-time visitors, overstayed visa and criminal visitors to weakly prove your point. And don't you compare other countries with America please. America pride themselves to be leader of the free world. Only their vote can upturn all the other countries vote together in UN. They lead WHO, World bank and profit from other nations because they have proven to be big brother. That is why the world currency is denominated in dollars. Maybe the world should start looking towards another country leadership rather than US.

But my major argument is the psychological trauma caused by threatening delay. Test or not, you need to condemn such human torture and not boldly be cool with it.

I think american democracy model is not a good model.

Obviously american super powerism would go away, because they dont have the political class to sustain and maintain their super power status.

They have very unserious politicians.
