Big Brother Naija housemate and travel blogger Kim Oprah has initiated a discussion on Nigeria's visa application procedures.

The reality star proposed that payments should be refunded if a visa application is rejected.

Kim Oprah's past work experience with travel companies likely influenced her perspective.

She wrote: "My unpopular opinion: Visa fees should be refunded when a visa application is denied."

Some social media users were intrigued by Kim Oprah's stance, arguing that visa costs should only be paid if the application is successful.

Online users promptly responded to the tweet, sharing their opinions and perspectives on the matter
