"I came back home drunk while my wife was away because we both had an argument earlier on, not knowing she had called her mum to come over to help take care of the kids because she was gonna attend a vigil.

The while thing happened so fast! I came in drunk at about 1.am after hanging out with the guys and someone helped me to the bed.

How it happened
My wife's mum shares exactly the same physique with my wife, and most times u could hardly tell the difference in their body smell. I know this because my wife's mum is widowed and I have been really very close to her.

After returning back home drunk I slept off in the sofa, but I later discovered someone helped me to the bedroom, thinking it was my wife because I wasn't expecting anybody to be at home besides my wife and our kids. Thinking the lady was my wife I attempted kissing her and she stopped me. I tried the second time and she returned the kiss passionately and we both had close to about 3 rounds of sex. My brother i have bn a silent reader on nairaland for years now, but this your lie is too much for me to bear, haba

I woke up on Saturday morning and found my Continue reading...

Once, I went for the US visa interview after a failed attempt two years prior. My first application was fraught with bogus claims and huge misrepresentations.

I didn't even earn anything near what I claimed, wasn't married as indicated. All of these were at the instance of an agent hired by my Dad and coupled with his strong desire to see me cross the divide.

I was flatly denied, much to my own delight cos I wasn't quite comfortable with the huge lies.

In my second application, I decided to come clean because I wanted to clear the misrepresentation. I could be called to travel for work anytime and if I was refused based on prior application, it would be a huge dent on my integrity.

Off I went to embassy with the utmost aim of clearing myself and not necessarily to secure the visa. Here's my transcript:

VO: Good Morning. Pass me your passport. Where are you going to?
Me: I'm going to California (Big gaffe! I was going to Ohio but was fixated on my previous application where California was the intended destination)
VO: Why are you going to California?
Me: I'm going to attend my cousin's wedding and also spend my annual leave, a month long. I haven't gone on leave in the last two years and I think I should reward myself for working that long. (At this point, I realized my error and seized the opportunity to correct my destination and talk extensively about my first application. I told him about all the misrepresentations, affirmed my single status, dispelled the salary claims and every other wrong information therein. The VO nodded his head and started smiling at this point)
VO: Next, he asked: where do you work?
Me: I work with xxxxx, a marketing communications company at the level of Deputy Manager
VO: How long have you been working?
Me: 4 years in my current profession
VO: How long have you been working with your current company?
Me: 2 years now
VO: You've worked elsewhere before?
Me: Yeah, started my career with xxxx but I also worked in xxxx, my father's company which was responsible for my initial application. (Another opportunity to further discuss the first denial. Told him about the company and why I left)
VO: Tell me about your job (Another opportunity to talk about my enjoyable job. At this point, it had become a friendly chat. He was quite intrigued by my responses. It further strengthened my confidence and I was coasting. He even leaned forward and we maintained eye contact all through. I told him about past project, current and upcoming ones)
VO: Nice. So you're going to Ohio for your cousin's wedding?
Me: Yeah and to spend my leave too (We we're both chuckling here)
VO: Are you married or engaged? He asked again)
Me: No, I'm not married or even engaged! I'm very single. (He laughed)
VO: Ok, I believe you, I believe you. I'll approve your visa now. This paper explains how to pick your visa in the next three days.
Me: Thank you

I walked out without looking back, emotionless. To be honest, I wasn't carried away. I wasn't even listening to the security guy who was hailing me. I just rushed out. I had a meeting to attend.

I insisted on coming clean on all misrepresentations despite people telling me to maintain a lie. For me, when you tell a lie, you need a bigger lie to cover it up. Since another opportunity has presented itself to come clean, why don't I take it?

The outcome will be dependent on the VO. To be honest, I wasn't really bothered if I was gonna get the visa or not. I wasn't fidgety or nervous. I just wanted to get it over with and clear my mind and for future applications.

Quite honestly, I did say a simple prayer that morning on my way. I said God should not let me fail where others have succeeded. I said this because I believe in God and my colleague had secured his even though he was my subordinate and earned way below what I earned.

I'm sharing this here because I owe it a duty to this forum and this section in particular. I have been here a long time and I read this section and US visa threads extensively for that application. The outcome? A success! I had never been outside Nigeria before when I secured this visa.

Let me just add this, visa applications and interviews are no big deals. Not at all! Fill your form yourself; you're in control. Be articulate in answering the questions. State all facts clearly and be honest. Stick to same story at your interview.

My POE is another experience all together. I made it to secondary inspection at JFK...lol

TB Joshua, Oonii kuure with the scripture you're quoting. The foolishness of you & your God that couldn't reveal to you the impending doom & collapse of your building - Oloshi Oloriburuku.

That is the only reason I fell out with Babatunde Fashola for not incarcerating your black monkey ass for the death of hundreds of innocent South Afrikans.

We can't all be as dumb as your gullible, brainwashed & brain-dead followers.

A fake dubious fvcking prophet who sells anointing water for 5k. I wonder where in the bible Jesus did the same - Omo ale jati-jati ikeji aja!
