An X user, Mz_Tosyn, on Wednesday, posted how she headed straight to a restaurant to get food and drinks after she was denied her US visa application, and “ate like no future.”

She wrote, “The last time I was denied US visa 🤣🤣🤣 I headed straight to Amoke Alamala in Shomolu, I bought Amala, 2 goat meat, 3 fresh fish, tinu eran and drinks and I went home got naked and ate like no future.”

Her tweet has since begun to garner a lot of reaction from other users as they also shared their experiences on how they handled visa denial.

Another user, tee_pro1, explained, “I was sad o. I just dey pray make Nigeria better cos if our country good we won’t be at the mercy of an immigration officer. You will hardly see europeans making japa videos to us.”

Mooyosore tweeted, “My first visa denial. I got home poured anointing oil on the letter and started kabashin. I still went ahead to book my flight & I hoped a miracle will happen. Last last na breakfast I chop after I appealed the decision. The following year, I applied to the UK, and got it.”

Stanleyndu stated, “I’ll just say that Lagos US visa place is an obstacle. How can you spend your money and get rejected with no refund, just one pamphlet that doesn’t explain nothing or makes you feel better. The numb sadness that comes with getting rejected that US visa is hard to explain.” (The PUNCH)
