DJ Dimple Nipple, has shared a harrowing account of her experience with immigration officials in the Philippines.
Taking to Instagram, the DJ revealed that she and her best friend were detained, humiliated, and subjected to invasive searches upon their arrival in Manila, despite holding valid visas and return tickets.
She titled her post “My Manila Immigration Nightmare,” describing how what was meant to be a career highlight quickly became one of the most traumatic experiences of her life.
“I was so excited about my gig in the Philippines,” she wrote. “I had prepared thoroughly, spent a lot of money, made all the necessary arrangements, and was genuinely looking forward to the experience.”
She detailed their journey, noting that they departed Lagos at 3 p.m., connected through Qatar, and finally landed in Manila around 4 p.m. local time. However, things took a turn at immigration.
“We greeted the officers politely, but they were cold and unwelcoming. Still, we remained respectful and handed over our passports,” she said.
According to her, they were detained for hours, subjected to repeated searches, and later stripped and filmed. She alleged they were forced to sleep on the floor in a detention-like facility, with no explanation for the treatment they received.
Expressing outrage, DJ Dimple Nipple questioned why Nigerians are granted visas only to be mistreated upon entry.
“@immigph @dfaphl @flypal, if you don’t want Nigerians in your country, then why approve our visas? Why collect visa fees only to humiliate, detain, and send us back like criminals?” she wrote.
“Why allow your citizens to live and thrive in Nigeria while mistreating ours abroad? Why not just place a ban instead of robbing people of their time, money, and dignity? You collect our money, you grant our visas, but when we show up, you treat us like we’re nothing. Why?”
Her post has sparked concern and conversation online about the treatment of Nigerians abroad, with many demanding answers from Philippine authorities.
