Tried to submit a document today to an office in the US, they rejected it. I called to ask why and they boldly said “you know because it is coming from Nigeria. We know how corrupt the entire country is.”
It was quite surreal to hear that.

Usually, people whisper it or have it as a bias. But I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone say it to myself - or well in this case to my hears.
My companion summarized it as “the Hushpuppi effect”.

Now I have to go the extra mile to swear an affidavit that the document is legit.
An entire mess.
