hnmmmm I still believe staying here with dignity is better than having to be hiding there.  I only enjoy visiting those places but coming back home.  They choose it

The men nd women that interview appilcants at d US embassy always think that they are smart nd think they know more than evryone, they dont give visa to those that are legit ready to return back to naija after their visit but give visa to those that overstayd their visit. Good luck to them, continue to prove smart nd continue asking unecessary/irrelivant questions
