A Nigerian young man Akpos went to American Embassy in June 2001 for a student visa, and the process of his interview with the white lady went this way; AKPOS: Good afternoon ma! WHITE LADY: Welcome!. And how are you? AKPOS: I am fine thank you ma!. WHITE LADY: What are you going to the USA for? AKPOS: To study ma! WHITE LADY: Which city, school and course do you wish to study? AKPOS: Carlifornia, Harvard University, Economics and Statistics. WHITE LADY: But there are many Universities in Nigeria that offer this course and you still want to travel as far as USA to study the same course why? I doubt your genuine intention and therefore can’t give you the entry visa that you have applied for. AKPOS: (With anger shouted) Please give me back my passport let me get out of this place, what do you think that is in USA that is not in Nigeria, what do you think that I will see in USA that we don’t have in Nigeria here, do you think that USA is in any way better than this country and if you think USA is better than Nigeria, then why have you chosen to stay in Nigeria instead of your country America? WHITE LADY: (With serious anger and love for her dear country stood up and said to him) Look am gonna give you entry visa to USA so that you gonna travel to America and see what is in USA the different between America and Nigeria. (Out of anger, she stamped the visa for Akpos). Akpos then left smiling. One word for Akpos.
