Over the menace of insecurity in Nigeria by the Boko Haram insurgents, a software engineer from Nigeria was made to write verification test by United States airport immigration officers because they weren't convinced he was telling the truth about his skills.

According to Ceoafrica, Celestine Omin, 28, landed in New York's JFK airport last Sunday after a 24-hour flight from Nigeria.

Mr Omin is employed by Andela , a tech start-up with offices in New York, Lagos, Nairobi and San Francisco.

The firm says it recruits "the most talented developers on the African continent" and connects them with tech employers in the US for potential job vacancies. Facebook chief, Mark Zuckerberg visited  Andela's office in Lagos last year.

Although Nigeria is not among the seven countries affected by President Donald Trump's travel ban, but she has been struggling with insurgency.
