Why Did The Immigration Officer Do This To My Arm? by siofra(op): 9:13am On Jul 04, 2024
We were crossing the border of Cross River State and Ebonyi when we stopped at an immigration check point and the officer told me to stretch out my left hand. When he examined it, he let me go. We were about 20 in the bus but I was the only one he checked. And he was being rude and intimidating so I couldn't ask him why.

Has anyone here experienced this before? Do you know why he checked my left arm/hand?

Maybe, he thought you were hiding drugs in your armpit.

There was a day I was traveling along Niger state, I was singled out by the immigration officer. He looked at me and asked where I was coming from.

At first, I was surprised because I thought they were looking for people who aren't Nigerians grin
I told him my name, told him my state and local government because I was confused.
I wondered if I didn't look "Nigerian" enough grin

When the bus continued the journey, I asked the guy sitting close to me if I didn't look like a Nigerian. People who heard laughed for a while.
They are just doing their Job

Actually it makes lots of sense to keep immigration officers at internal entry points of states that border Cross River state... Why? because Cross-River state borders Cameroon and there are many ways to enter Nigeria via Cross River state (several Land routes & several Water routes) and many of these routes have no border security-trust me.

So in order to contain border leakage and limit it to an area, internal crossings from Cross River state to other states in Nigeria needs to be heavily controlled.

If Nigerian immigration is still doing that ... then Kudos to them!

Fyi
It's quite easy for other Africans to enter Nigeria and become Nigerian by benefiting everything Nigerians enjoy. But more difficult for Nigerians to enter for example Cameroon & become Cameroonian. The checks and balances within African countries would filter that Nigerian out.

Perhaps Nigeria is careless with her boarders because there's nothing to protect in Nigeria and other saner African nations are reluctant to let you roam free around their countries because of terrorism and the criminal reputation you have ?

Can we all learn to admit truth when it said irrespective of whoever says it...

Whoever she is, wherever she is from... she is correct and I agree with her.
