Thanks OP for this; it is eye opening. I arrived at Moshoeshoe International Airport Maseru, Lesotho in July 2019 from Lagos, enroute OR Thambo, Johannesburg. I passed through immigration and my passport was stamped. The elderly Mosotho immigration officer joked with me and even asked if I would take him to Fela's shrine. At the exit after immigration were police officers, who on sighting me, collected my passport and said since it is my first time in Lesotho, that they will have to profile me. As we were making way upstairs to their office, my contact who has been waiting for me to come out saw me and was confused about why I was with the police officers. So, she spoke to them in sesotho and they said what they are doing is for my security whilst in the kingdom of lesotho. My contact requested if she could go with us to their office upstairs and they agreed. At their office, they made photocopy of my passport and requested for copy of my contact's means of identification. She wrote her name on the photocopy of my passport and signed and we left the office without paying any money. My worry is, if my contact wasnt there , I dont know what would have happened. My one month stay in the mountain kingdom was very memorable and there is general peace in the kingdom. I intend to do a travelogue on my experience, to include the highs and the lows in the kingdom, compared to the Nigerian experience. chimauga: |

You've travelled for 12 years yet you feel it's possible for them to only single out Nigerians to exploit? I bet other black Africans are suffering the same faith. Do be careful cause those dismissed officers might plan a reprisal against you. |

Nigeria needs overhauling. Imagine the ambassador could not get himaelf or his subordinates to do what you did in a few days. No wonder there is the need for Abike Dabiri when we have embassies. God bless you OP, well done |

Corruption is universal. So don't think any nation on earth is corruption-free. It is just that some of the advanced nations do it very intelligently. There are some very corrupt countries in Europe. And many corrupt nations in Asia. It is just that these countries have stiff punishments for corrupt people. Indonesia and Malaysia are battling with internal corruption, so you know. If you want to pass through the borders of Asian countries easily, just print the word 'PRESS' on a ID Card size piece of Paper, laminate it, put it in a card holder and wear it around your neck. Always let them see the ID when they are interviewing you. Tell them you are a freelance journalist for newspapers all over the world. You won't spend up to 10 minutes with any official and they will let you go quickly- as long as you are clean and prohibited goods have not been found in your luggage. It has worked for me and some of my friends. Just be confident when they are talking to you. Have a great day. |

chimauga:Kudos the Chairman. We are recommending you to Buhari to take over the office of SSA on diaspora affairs because Abike Dabiri is becoming a failure in that post. Buhari can use her for tribalistic affairs. |

I can bet the $1,200 in the envelope was a bait. If you had taken everything, you would have been arrested and charged to court. |

When you are a Nigerian totally and fully legit, you can always hold your head high anywhere. Thanks bro, you should be honored. The Nigeria ambassador in that Country should be queried about this. |

CosmicPhoenix:Oh!!!!U misinterpreted my comment... I ddnt mean to insult you..my apologies if it came out wrongly...I’ve got lots of atheist friends.. they gladly accept their lives are just random cosmic mistake that amount to nothing..I tot that tag is widely accepted across board...my bad Still I dont get why ur stomach turns just cos someone said thank God...the thread initiator too is a believer of God and he thanked God thru his entire text ... clearly u don’t have a dog in this fight..I’m just saying..... |

ntyce:Exactly. They set a trap for the OP to see if he was a truly honest person as he painted himself to be. This is why it is good to be honest and accountable. By not accepting the $ 1, 200 as his own, he removed all doubts about his credibility and established his case strongly. I am happy that we have Nigerians who still have the fear of God in their heart. Kudos, OP. |
