She asked me, "why did you come here?" I answered "on the invitation of the US Government. They kill Nigerians here I wouldn't come if not"

As much as I care about the symposium I came here for, I am now more interested in what the South African border police wants to do with me!

"You don't have respect. We will teach you respect" after I said, "I wouldn't ordinarily come here. They kill Nigerians here." A fact.

I had a choice to take all their bullshit in silence and obedience. But I don't take bullshit from anyone who pretends to be bigger.

If you diss my country, except we are trading jokes and bants, I will hand you your country's diss on a bigger platter.

If I was running away from Nigeria, I have ?? ?? ?? and other countries where they don't kill Nigerians as a national sport.

I was the first to be detained. But they are treating my case specially by completely refusing to address my issue. I have their time too.

It is now one hour since I handed my passport to be stamped. No word yet from the ?? border police as to why I am being detained.
