imputed lesbian-activist from Cameroon #2

More questions:
You left your country about 13 months ago? have the authorities been looking for you recently?
How do you know?
Why do the authorities still care about you?
Have the police or anyone talked to your father about you? when? what did they want to know?
You went to Nigeria, and then you came back home? I thought your country was so dangerous; why would you return voluntarily to a "dangerous" country?
You say you had no choice? you had no money to stay in the other country? why couldn't you borrow money from your rich uncle?
You had big problems in the city of Buea? OK, so why not go live in Yaounde? why not go live in Bamenda?
Is there a law in your country that says homosexuality is not legal?
do you know anyone sent to prison for that?
Has the president of your country said anything in public about this?

[Comment: this applicant had three scars on her leg, NOT caused by the bad guys. Also, she said she was forced to pay over one half of her paycheck only once, in the year 2006. She could have said, "I had to pay again and again. I had to pay in 2007, 2008, and 2009." But, she did not. Obviously, she did not exaggerate her claim. She did not embellish. She did not lie, when she could have. The Asylum Officer liked that.]
