Odele, an international lawyer lamented how she got rejected by the United States for being from a corrupt country.
Mrs Odele, who calls herself an international lawyer took to the streets of Twitter to narrate her experience, noting that she asked why she was rejected and was directly told it is because the document she submitted was coming from Nigeria.
She then added that she had to go extra-mile to swear an affidavit, in order to prove that the document is legal.
She tweets:
“Tried to submit a document today to an office in the US, they rejected it. I called to ask why and they boldly said “you know because it is coming from Nigeria. We know how corrupt the entire country is.”
It was quite surreal to hear that”.
She further tweets:
“Usually, people whisper it or have it as a bias. But I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone say it to myself – or well in this case to my hears.
“My companion summarized it as “the Hushpuppi effect”.
“Now I have to go the extra mile to swear an affidavit that the document is legit.
An entire mess”.
“I feel like I should add this. The person I spoke to told me they had a close friend from Nigeria who constantly told them how corrupt the country is.
Don’t know what this means, but thought to say it”.
