Eritrea, that’s one country I’d like to visit soon.

And you'll enjoy every bit of it

Nigeria and eritrea lol both my countries at same time.... Anyway eritrea is Good unlike the so called giant in the west

Hey, let's talk aside NL

Go and commit crime.
The security agencies will be the ones to wake you up on the bed.

I don’t understand why people are criticizing Trump on this. His duty is to protect his citizenry. And there is policy is squarely aimed at that

How can a country like Nigeria spend billions of dollars on Identity Management and yet we have nothing to show for it. If I commit a crime today, our government does not have the capability to match my fingerprint from the crime scene with the fingerprint in a database and that’s the issue America has.

If I am on an Immigrant visa in the US and I commit a crime, the US wants to be able to match my DNA or Fingerprint collected at the scene with shared database from Nigeria and other countries.

Trump has not said you can’t enter for Tourism, Schooling or Business. Only for those who want to stay permanently. It is the right thing to do

The ball is in the court of our clueless President to get a proper Identity Management System and share it with the USA. Simple as ABC

Dizzyrascal:
abi, because I no see their work again....or what else would they be doing

U.s embassy still wants to be collecting visa money. I mean why ban visa to be used for immigration bur leave tourists visa? Tourist has no right and they will continue to keep the money after refusal. The govt should ban citizens applying for u.s visas. (Yes i know. I just felt like adding that part jo)

linearity:


Re-read it again, they all factor into that security assessment.

When doing these types of assessments; the US placed exposure to homeland risk and list various factors and assign points to them, then collect the final tally and make a decision base on the final tally, which in this case is overall security risk.

e.g.

Take two hypothetical countries scores
Country A:
1. Identity management - 40%
2. Data & info sharing - 40%
3. Rate of immigration- 70%
4. Percentage of overstay - 19%

Country B:
1. Identity management - 40%
2. Data & info sharing - 40%
3. Rate of immigration - 70%
4. Percentage of overstay - 10%

Despite the fact that, the first data points are the same, the US will consider country A as a more security threat, because they are exposed to more individuals from that country compare to the other.

Nigeria situation is also more complicated because the rate of migration from Nigeria is very high, such that for some years now, we have breached the statistical limits given to all countries on the diversity visa category and as such we have not been eligible for it.

So, if you add the fact that Nigeria rate of immigration in Africa to the US is the highest, then Nigeria will present a higher security threat to the US, even if all other security risk barometers within those Africa Countries are the same.

I understand all you just wrote but no matter how we paint it, IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO SECURITY THREAT.

The thread below corroborates what I'm saying:

And what will this reciprocal decision be?

My understanding of the part in bold is that Nigerians can no longer immigrate to the US except those that have acted as moles for the US government. Very harsh and unnecessary.

The Federal government should engage the US government diplomatically to get the restriction reversed. If Trump insist on keeping the restriction after all necessary engagements, we should consider a reciprocal decision.

Very painful to people like me that I've been trying to enter the USA eh. Instead banning Nigerians. Trump for just kukuma help intervene in this Nigeria buharitislzed hostage situation in Nigeria

Reciprocal ko, banning ni, abeg make we hear word, ordinary ear problem your president goes to treat in UK, and you are talking of banning.
It's like Nigeria has forgotten it's level.

ChimaAgbalajob:


Buhari was trying to use the so called "African Visa for All" program to secret open the backdoor for foreign Jihadists of African origin fighting for ISIS, Al shabaab to quietly establish presence in Nigeria.

The United States counter-terrorism task-force quickly spotted it and closed that security vulnerability.

Borrow or buy some common sense.

crash12345:
what has Ghana done.You guys have closed your boarders for more than 6 months and are boasting that it's your right because it's your own country and the whole of West Africa is dying of hunger because without you,everyone is a failed state and Ghana has also closed more than[b] 1000 Nigerian shops[/b] and deported over 700 Nigerians since last year because it's our own country and we can do whatever we want.

South Africans are chasing you out and don't want any Nigerian in their country because it's their own country and they can do whatever they want and now,USA has decided to stop and block all Nigerians from migrating into their country .The only time a Nigerian can go to America is through 60 day tourist visa and getting that one is more difficult than a camel going through the eye of a needle.

It's their country and they can do whatever they want.We are all sovereign nations and so nobody can dictate to anybody. You can ban any American expatriate from getting resident's permit to work in Nigeria just as they did to you and leave Ghana out of your discussions.

ARE U NOT ASHAMED, U ARE MAKING NOISE BECOS OF ONLY 1000 SHOPS USED TO MARKET CHEAPER GOODS TO YOUR POOOR PEOPLE.


WE HAVE SINCE THE LAST GHANA MUST GO GROWN UP AND SWORE NEVER TO LET A POVERTY STRICKEN IMBECILES LIKE GHANA FORCE US INTO DOING THINGS THAT DONT SPEAK WELL OF US AS A NATION.


AFTER SOUTH AFRICA, THE NEXT SET OF IDIOTS IN AFRICA ARE GHANIANS, NO DIFFERENCE.

The information is on the official page of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and it seems to target mostly immigrant visa applicants whose visas have not yet been granted.
