Poe story continued.
So I went over n sat down n raised my feet n tried to console my 2 yr old baby who was now so exhausted n hungry. Waited for about 3 hrs n walked up to the boss n asked him wen I was going to be interviewed again and my daughter is very tired n hungry likewise my sick self. He sed at mid night. Was 11:13 pm den. Sed dey had baby food. He brought boiled white rice with no salt n no sauce to feed my baby who quickly spat it out the moment d tasteless food touched her tongue. I gave her som cheerios I had in my bag but dis didn't calm her down cuz she was exhausted. Tried to make her sleep to no avail. Den he took us to a small room with some broken toys n turned on the TV, sed I cld lie on d mat on d floor n den left. waited till 12:40 am and asked one other officer cuz dey changed shift at midnight. Sed I shld wait and asked why I refused to talk before. Left to go to d restroom but d officer sed i shldnt leave dat small room with no window. Sed i was going to d rest room. Went to d rest room n came back to d room. He shut d door n sed i shld keep d door closed. About 2:30 I opened d door to go to the restroom again n he came screemx at me and shouted at my lil girl to go back in but i intervened n sed we were going to d restroom. waited n waited till 4 am. When a lady officer came n called me to her office n asked to see d price sheet from Hyunh. Asked if my hubby works in X company. Sed yes. Started chattx about how itz their biggest oil company. N she has to travel for work bla bla etc. Stamped us in for 6 mnths at 4:30 am.
Der were some 2 pregnant naija mama's who had been waiting der since mornx before I came in at 5:30 pm. One of dem was stamped in released 30 mins before me. The other was left der. Sed dey wld send her back. She even started having cramps, dey rushed her to d hospital where she spent 1500$ after which she was brought back in for detention. She sed der were 2 other naija mamas on her flight who had already been sent back to naija.
There are lots of people being sent back at poe but don't come back here to tell deir story. We just have to b very thankful for smooth poe. Dey were all Spanish people n don't allow cell phones or other electronic devices. Sometimes we may just have it hard cuz someone doesn't like u.
AM a silent reader of this forum and this my first posting after we read your story and my wife was crying but firstly An not Nigerian but i do not understand why Only Nigerians got treated this way and never made official complain because this is purely a case of molestation and gross human right abuse ,if any boarder guard treat my wife or family with this unprofessional , inhuman manner and racism ,i will call a news conference and then we heading to the court,this should not be happening in america ,a country preaching freedom and equality around the globe,nobody desire to be treated this way not even animals!!! and only insane people will treat a pregnant woman with a toddler this way despite you coming to boost their economy with your money, if many Nigerians can write and complain about your individual ugly experience and this constants harassment,the authority will read your complain and investigate this abuse or write to U.S. Customs & Border Protection
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W., MS: 1345 Washington, DC 20229 United States of America or just simply write about your exprience via the online complain form
