Sharing her ordeal on X, she said: “I got a fully funded scholarship to attend a tech event in London, but my visa was denied. 🥲 One of the reasons given for the rejection was that I wouldn’t return to my country after the event.”

With less than 10 days left before the event and the standard visa processing time being 15 days, she pleaded for an appeal, hoping for a reconsideration.

Please consider me. This is more than just an event for me; it’s the biggest cloud-native conference in Europe. All I ask for is a chance to prove that I will return to Nigeria after the conference.”

@lwandlendebele: “Oh no sis . I really hope it works out. God Yahweh Jehovah will make a way that I know and declare in Yashua Emmanuel Jesus Christ’s name. AMEN.”

@morelifecomm: “Fuck them! I hate to see things like this. London 1 Nigeria 0, this loss is on Nigeria.”
