Shola Allyson laments as American Embassy refused to grant her visa
Popular Nigerian artiste, Shola Allyson could not hide her feelings as she splits fire after she was denied visa at an American Embassy.
According to her “I was advised to send them either through DHL or EMS. But I cannot afford their fees! I am not selling!!! But why? Why? See what we have done to ourselves!!! You tell a simple truth at embassies and points of entry of other countries, but they won’t believe you because you are a Nigerian!!! See what we have done to ourselves??? See what we have done!!! The last time in the UK I told the immigration guy I was pressed to wee during checks, and heavy security and dog followed me! All our luggages ransacked! They apologised but I was angry! Just to wee-wee?? I have been distributing ÌMÚSE CDs everywhere I go, and I thought, although people abroad would get it on ITunes, Spotify, Apple Music and co, there are still people who want the hard copy, physical CDs, and I could take along and give, happily doing so. I am not selling ÌMÚSE!!!
“But why can’t the outside world trust me? I am a true and honorable Nigerian! Every Nigerian is not a liar! We are not all thieves! Our challenges have not made us all monsters! We are NOT all liars! I am not a liar! I am honorable in all! Millions of us are true! But how will I prove it? When everyone who has my passport color is a suspect? I have had a couple of experiences with “the abroad” that made me angry and sad. I said the truth but I wasn’t believed. Just because some others have defamed and deformed who we truly are! The blood of integrity and honor runs in my veins! I am Nigerian, true! Who believes me? Who will? SAD!” she concluded
