Permit me house to add to the growing debate surrounding this US visa issue.

The fact is that we Nigerians do not like people telling us the truth. Sincerely, I also battle at times with the truth. However, the truth is that Nigerians are abusers of systems. Everywhere you interact with some Nigerians in the “abroad”, you find out that they have thrived on abuse of the system – cutting corners, gaming the system, employing theatrics etc. The situation is even compounded in religious centres! However, we are mostly very short-sighted people who assume that the white-man is a fool. Unbeknown to us, these guys have a system in place that works best with information. During such lengthy periods when we embarrass ourselves and abuse the system, these guys are gathering sufficient data about us, our personality and modus operandi to enable them evolve a robust approach that can keep us firmly in check. This data is also useful in assisting them draft related policies on funding/assistance/aids, conflict resolution and rules of engagement.

Why should Nigerians come on visits in the abroad and end up as overstayers or even work or enjoy some form of benefits? There is no excuse (except health and threat to life) that should warrant that. It cost taxpayers money to maintain these facilities. It is Nigerians that will come to the abroad enter trains without paying and be moving from coach to coach to avoid the ticket master. It is Nigerians that will come to the abroad to give birth without planning adequately for the trip? What is my business that you are coming to the abroad, did I invite you? Go and rent a hotel and pay your bills? We carry our planless nature to the abroad and hope to inconvenience others simply because we are “Nigerians”? If I didn’t plan, I would be sleeping out on the streets.

Of course, people will come out and start screaming “is it not because you are there?” And so what? Did I spiral myself here?

Again, I still wonder what goes on in the minds of people when they apply for visas. How can you be earning 200k-500K/month and apply for a US visa to spend 2 weeks for vacation in New York for instance and you are self-sponsored in 2019!? Haba, fear God na. Let me break it down for you.

Visa fee: 58K
Flight (return): 400k
Accommodation (10 nights): 600k + 180k-200k (refundable caution deposit)
Feeding: 180k ($50/day) – could be more
Internal transport: 18k (assume bus all through) – could be more
Exchange conversion fees (from card swipes if you don’t have a US bank card): 4k
Total: 1,440,000 (with 180k refunded on check out). Conservatively estimated.

This means that you want to spend 3-7 months’ salary for just 2 weeks’ vacation and expect the VO to be convinced? What about your rent, feeding, mobility, clothing, health insurance, car and vehicle insurance and leisure when you return to Nigeria?

See, in times past (before, before), it wouldn’t mean anything saving up for that, but hey times have changed. If that money isn’t a fraction of your month’s salary or 2 months, the VO will need a lot of reassurances or evidence of strong ties in Nigeria before granting that visa (especially when self-funded).

Again, those methods of using conferences/workshops to travel to the USA don cast. In fact, recently our lab was advised to send its delegates to the London version of a workshop rather than wasting resources travelling to the US. I couldn’t laugh. The organisers didn’t want to offer academic rebate. This was a legitimate workshop integral to a current project and timeous considering our timetable. However, a couple of the delegates were Nigerians and so the usual.

See, time for travel will come. It may take time, but if we continue with our current attitude, things go spoil so tey e go hard to repair. The hustle is real, I know, but we are the very cause of the current problems. If we are not careful, our case go be like China where their citizens are always put on administrative processing that can take as long as 60 days! My Chinese colleagues at work are not finding this funny.

When next people come online and talk about how they gamed the system in the abroad and you support them or rationalise their actions, just remember that the consequences are simply front-loaded and will be dire. Next time call them out. Embarrass them, shame them. You don’t have to report them but let them know that they are a SHAME and avoid them. If we don’t start calling out these disgraceful humans spoiling our reputation in the abroad, they will continue to make travel possibilities difficult for you and I.

Nice write you, our country is not encouraging thats people travel for greener pasture ,i NO many people who earn upto 500-700k monthly that have relocated permanently, our reuputaion is still intact BRO, it happen in all countries help people and not spoil there moral.
