I'm going to wait for more information before believing this. There have been so many cases of fake twitter outrage that it makes sense to wait a day or two before taking out the pitchforks.
What's sad is that in this climate it's not completely unbelievable that something like this could happen.
- idlewords 10y agoThis is by far the sanest reaction in the thread.
- max_ 10y agoI personally know Celestine. There are no jokes here.
- beedogs 10y agoConsidering this is at least the second case where it's happened, why do you need to "wait for more information"?
- username223 10y agoI'm not sure it would be cause for pitchforks if true. Immigration officers in general tend to act aggressive and ask weird questions as some sort of attempt at behavioral screening. Canada only cares that tourists have enough money to leave and don't plan to work, but the last time I went, I got asked why there was mud on my car. Seriously.
- IshKebab 10y agoThis is totally believable. A friend who went to a conference with me in the US maybe 4 years ago was asked to solve an integral equation. It makes sense really - I don't know why this would cause outrage.
- gentlehammer 10y agoThis authors of this article claim that his employers were contacted to verify his identity. It doesn't necessarily prove that he was asked technical questions, but it was enough for me to believe the tweet http://www.recode.net/2017/2/28/14764064/nigerian-software-engineer-detained-by-us-customs http://www.recode.net/2017/2/28/14764064/nigerian-software-e...
