Travel › Re: Diary Of A Nigerian Immigrant To The UK by geelite(m): 2:44pm On May 11, 2022 |
congratulations...please, how much did you spend getting there? i need quick answer bro coz i cant wait to run lightnlife: PART 4: Welcome To The UK
The plane landed Heathrow airport some few minutes past 5AM. The first shocker for me was that everywhere (the sky) was fully bright. I was literally expecting the gradually fading dark cloud but it all brightness. With that brightness came light cold, announcing the arrival to the cold country. Nobody tell me to wear jacket right from the plane before disembarking.
Upon disembarking, I walked for few minutes, joined the airport train service conveying passengers to the spot of their choice - arrivals (baggage collection) OR connecting flights. After getting off the train �, there was another short walk which leads to the immigration checks corridor.
First shocker: there was a different service centre for passengers holding a UK, US, EU, Japan and a few other countries' passport. It was a fast and stress-free process. On the flip side, holders of other countries' passport had to join a long, slow-moving line for their immigration clearance. There were just two immigration officers attending to the numerous passengers as at the time, maybe becos it was early in the morning. To reduce the waiting time, the immigration assistant had to come to the long queue area to announce/check if there are holders of the aforementioned countries' passport, so they can be moved to the "special/fast" side...No one signified. She later to ask everyone with a BRP to go over to the fast lane. A couple of people moved there. But then, the general queue was still long. So, she started picking people from the long queue to the other space in bits. More officers begin to arrive at their work stations, making the line a bit faster. Quite a lot of people got tired waiting in queue but everyone had to choice but to chill. While all these was going on, there was this immigration officer that was really grilling people, taking his time and asking questions, while others clearing passengers really fast. I was praying not to be directed to him after waiting for such a long time. Just as the "long-griller" was about calling me, another officer called me. I was happy.
I approached the officer's cubicle, greeted him and presented my passport to him. He checked my passport and visa page several times, types on his PC, then ask why I'm in the UK and where I'll be staying amongst other questions. I answered him, then he stamped my passport and returned it, then said have a great time in England. I Collected my doc and proceeded to collect my bags...That was quite easy as I had tagged my bags.
Oh! Trolleys were free in Heathrow, UK. But they're often paid for in Lagos, Nigeria. How so?
Anyway, picking up my bags, I proceeded to terminal five to wait for my partner. After a few minutes, I went to the restroom and by then my partner was already in the airport to pick me up. I finished up in the restroom then proceeded to meet my partner, and boom, it was indeed a moment of joy and estacy.
We drove home, gisting and admiring each other...Love is sweet biko!  |
