Nollywood actor Alesh Sanni has issued a strong warning to Nigerians, urging them to stop relying on agencies for visa applications, a practice he says can leave them financially devastated.
Sanni revealed the risks of spending life savings on such agencies, especially when there is no guarantee of securing a visa.
Taking to his social media handle, the actor questioned the wisdom of spending millions on travel only to face rejection.
He stressed the importance of using proper documentation instead of gambling with large sums of money, stating, “Where do you wanna start from when you spent 20 million to ‘japa’ and got denied?”
Sanni also pointed out that agents do not have the authority to grant visas, adding that the worsening economy has made it harder to obtain visas.
“Economy is bad, embassies aren’t giving visas anyhow,” he said, warning people against falling victim to scams by unscrupulous agents.
He urged Nigerians to exercise caution and be wise when planning to travel, noting that the decision should not be taken lightly.
