Hello Peoplezz,
Tot to share my POE experience.(Atlanta POE, Houston final destination)
Flew Delta..was with my son and he was quite a handful (met a nairalander with her hubby, av forgotten her name, but shes using Dr Fagbohun and Oakbend as well..please holla if you read this)
First officer: A chinko looking guy
Me: Hellooooo (with a smile)
Officer: Hello Madam, how are you? (exchanged pleasantries)
Me: hey baby, say hello to the officer..lol (and he smiles at my son)
the usual what are you here for and response was baby delivery/vacation. where is your husband?, he'll join us next week..how much cash do you have on you? I said 10k
officer: no problem at all once you have your money, asked that I thumbprint and I was free to go (everything was like 5mins)
I was thanking my stars, went to pick my bag and was on my way out.
At the final stop just 10 steps away from exit ooo, the lady who took the customs slip from me dint look friendly at all despite pasted smile..
Lady: how much do you have on you? I said 10k...please go to the bla bla room and request for a sth sth form.. sh**t..(in my mind am like oooooo...which kain delay be this)..she hands me a blue folder
So I got to the secondary inspection room and saw drama..a guy and his mum were about to be sent back and he was frantically explaining himself... anyway, I think they were unsuccessful..kai, they looked helpless (back to my story)
Officer: hello madam, how much do you have on you? I said 10k. where is your money? can I have your bag? searches my bag and purse thoooooroughly and we go into the counting room.. SO, I actually had 10k and some change..
then, he looks at me squarely and goes into a lecture of how its against the law if you do not declare when you have above 10k, your money will be ceased and you will be sent back.. you broke the law by saying you have 10k..do you understand the implication?...I was just staring at him.. then the other officer says, your son is so cute..so I mutter a word of prayer and next I heard is please, next time, be sure of the money you have on you and answer correctly/accurately....so I said.. thank you! I din't know I should have declared the one dollar and 20dollar denominations..i went back with him to fill the form, asked for his name, told him he got a nice long name.. he smiled and wished me a nice stay.
phew...lesson, please tell em you have 10, 352 cents if that's what you have..

So, we are chilling and awaiting baby's arrival...
