My point exactly...Someone stated on this post that Nigeria is a "Red flag country" so that's why I stated what I said in my previous post because I've never heard of it used in that context as well...

Nigeria is definitely a country where "red flags" shine brighter than from almost all other countries.  To that person, here we generally use "red flag" to refer to case specific circumstances that need to be addressed, not to "countries".

Meh. Having passed through the Lagos consulate several times (for immigrant and non-immigrant visas), I can tell you that you overstate the issue. I could tell, by simply listening to the interviews (which are typically conducted in an open hall) which applicants were likely to be granted the visa and which were not. One guy claimed he was going to a real estate conference in Las Vegas to network with Bill Gates. Need I say how that interview ended? 

 

It's the quality of the applicants/applications, not the country itself, that is the issue.

Yes, the quality of the applicants/applications that are SEEN in the country is the issue.
