She checked my visa, ticket — legit
Passport mi ni proof pé mo exist
My backpack is heavy, na hin me I still dey struggle with
She said:
“How many luggages & bags are you traveling with?”
I get 2 heavy luggages
With one other backpack
Economy queue — kò sí nkan tó jẹ fast track
Mo fi bags sí machine
Check-in, wọ́n weigh-in
Wọ́n fún mi ní boarding pass
Now I’m on my way in
Mo ti ń lọ through barricade

It feels like I’m on a blind date
Then I met immigration
Àwọn náà tún bí mi question
Same style, same format
Blame it on recession
Dem don dey piss me off already
I was angry
Most of the people working at the airport
Are hungry
Mo fẹ́ kan travel
Make I find my gate with no stressing
Double wahala for you
If you are a known person
Mo ti rí gate
Mo jókòó ní terminal
Mo rí àwọn kan tó gather

2023 February 12 — my papa die
1 year later, I’m crying on a plane

Observation is the best thing
No matter what you dey go through

Good weather

Good plane

Call Scofield
“Bro, you dey come?”
Ó ní:
“Mo ń duro de ẹ l’íta”
Immigration for SA
Wọ́n ní issue pẹ̀lú e-visa

“My name is Oladips

Wọ́n ní kí n wá sí office
For questioning
Interview left and right
With tension
“What are you here for?”
“Touring or visiting?”
Mo show receipts
Hotel reservation
They wan verify
But hotel no pick
Problem start
“One chance only — we no fit call again”
Next thing
Wọ́n carry me go detention
Phone gone
Passport gone
Cell life

I no fit reach my people
Scofield dey worry

Dem return my phone
Update:
“Dem go deport you in 4 days”
4 days later
Back to 9ja
But Scofield no gree
Him buy new ticket
5 days later
Back to SA again
This time — success
I enter
I see Scofield outside airport

Tinted
If you get real ones
Keep them
Outro:
Happy birthday to me
