Nigerian sprint star Blessing Okagbare who got married last month to her husband Igho Oteghiri is embittered as the US Embassy has denied her husband a visa.
Okagbare who is based in Los Angeles had planned to spend her honeymoon with her husband in US but their plans had been shattered by the US Embassy.
Otegheri was denied visa clearance for undisclosed reasons, even though his wife had tendered every necessary document.
Speaking with Vanguard, Okagbare said, 'I feel so bad that America Embassy would turn down the visa request by my husband to travel with me to Los Angeles. I have resumed training for the season and I have to go back to my (Los Angeles) base with my husband so that I can concentrate.'

'I have sent copies of my documents, including my resident permit in Los Angeles to them so as to facilitate my husband’s traveling with me to the States, but they refused. Help me appeal to them to grant him visa because it won’t be easy for me to shuttle between Nigeria and the States every time.'
'I have to concentrate on my training and the only way to do so is to have my husband with me in the states.I have been so sad since my husband returned from Abuja with this bad news. They have to do something about it.'

So sad, I'm sure the nigerian sports ministry can talk to the embassy.
He will get it eventually.
The US embassy is so fond of doing this rubbish.
