British High commission, Nairobi; Do you know that time is money?
While you disrespect people’s time, can you really afford it?
Who gave you permission to rearrange me? I refuse to let anything put me down; the strong, African, beautiful, whole and complete woman that I am, lacking nothing except that UK visa!
With 195 countries in this world, what makes the UK think that they are so crucial to our livelihoods? Really it is a disgusting way of operating. How is it that I am chasing my UK visa like thousands will attest to almost breaking my damn leg??
Was it really a matter of life and death. And if you are not giving me the visa please let me know upfront! Because when I applied for it, I had no intentions to take this trip to go and enjoy sipping on English tea and biscuits! Did you forget that you are a heavy influence in Kenya; Being the British colony that we still are! And after all these years, we even make the tea with a little extra spice, and now we call it chai! Ooh and for the biscuits, please take a trip to industrial area and you will because I don’t really need that experience in the UK ! I have it here.
So, please while you are still holding onto my passport so long, release it so that I can explore my opportunities within the rest of this big world as you can see it’s not about chilling, it is about business!
As for the ladies sitting at the back sorting out the visas at the high commission, Shame on you!
Shame on you for sitting there to discuss me as I walk into your offices. Discussions about me so loud, I wanted to say let’s take it outside. It was very unprofessional and petty that you could have the nerve to discuss me- a visa applicant, through the glass where you know that I was seeing and hearing you. I am not your friend and whatever personal sentiments you may have about me, I have no interest in knowing or hearing. With all the programmes that are offered by the British Council, I highly recommend that you go in and take the leadership programme which I also went through a few years ago, as it will give you all the added-value you need to hold your job positions professionally enough and leaving a better impact to the people you serve and relate to on a day-to-day basis.
Could it have been my new 5” Christian Loubitin heels? Or my or was it my new red hair? Was it just because I had the nerve to come in and fight for my rights after you had sat on my passport for so long ignoring the fact that you were delaying me and my other travel arrangements on the same passport?
See one thing you may not see is the fact that it is your people who are extremely interested in what I offer both from my creative side of life as well as my business side, so don’t get upset at me for being all of that….and that too! Just sit on that desk and give me my visa or give me my verdict in a timely manner (negative or positive) along with my passport and valid reasons as to why not if no is the verdict, so that no more time is wasted as even I cannot afford my time.
See! All I am saying is that the UK embassy is not the air that we breathe and will never be. I therefore hope that you will realise with time that it is unfortunate having to relate with you and until you can check yourselves before you continue to wreck your reputation across the globe....
TOMPI!
