Lady shares harrowing airport experiences
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Alma Asinobi, a Nigerian national, has shared her distressing encounters with airport customs authorities, attributing the treatment to the low international reputation of the Nigerian passport.
Asinobi narrated several incidents where she faced undue scrutiny and delays solely because of her nationality.
Recalling a particularly humiliating experience in one country, Asinobi described being subjected to an invasive search.
In a recent development, TheTalk.NG also reported that a Nigerian lady based in Canada has advised netizens to avoid oversharing their personal life on social media.
