The TikToker, known as Uncle K and posting under the handle @uncle_khayy, shared the story in a viral video.
Canadian Lagos trip gone wrong
According to Uncle K, the trouble began when his "Oyibo friend" returned from what she described as a stressful trip to Lagos.
As he probed further with questions, the full picture emerged: she had never actually left the airport. Nigerian immigration officials stopped her at the gate because she did not have the required visa to enter the country.
Rather than accept the outcome, she reportedly attempted to bribe the immigration officer, pushing the offer as high as $1,000. The officer refused every time and stood firm, ultimately turning her away and sending her back to Canada.
Uncle K jokingly referred to the unnamed officer as "Baba Juju," framing his refusal as a moment of quiet national pride. The on-screen caption running throughout the video read:
"Nigeria sef Dey deport people Small yansh Dey shake."
Unlike many countries that participate in visa-free or visa-on-arrival arrangements, Nigeria requires travellers to obtain the appropriate visa before arrival, and immigration officials are authorised to deny entry to anyone who does not meet the requirements.
