According to Oluwaseun, she missed her speedboat and had to book a new hotel due to to the extra scrutiny.
“I was held at Maldives immigration for over 2 hours — no explanation. Despite showing strong travel history, I was profiled and treated with suspicion… just for being Nigerian. My speedboat left. I had to book a new hotel last-minute. Being Nigerian shouldn’t feel like a curse,” she wrote.
