Her words:
"I got to the UK at the early hours of 7th January 2024, that was 4 days ago. I was held at Heathrow Airport by two immigration officers for more than 4 hours. They were doing thorough checks and balances. They said there were precedents of Nigerians doing yen yen yen. What I witnessed was first-hand stereotyping thanks to past actions of my fellow country people.
"They called all callables and even emailed my professors and employer back home. It was on a Sunday morning and my phones were dead. I wondered who will be replying work emails and calls on a Sunday morning, but guess what, every one of them they emailed replied and picked their calls. When they couldn't find anything to hold me, they apologized and offered me some encouragement and advice."
Esther announced that she has settled after finding an apartment and is ready to live in the UK for the rest of the year.
Her words:
"I have just one year to stay in London before I move to my next destination and I want to make it worth it."
