The real reason US suspends Immigrant travel Visas on Nigerians.

It has little or nothing to do with Boko Haram, has nothing to do with Buhari, has nothing to do with arrest and detention of journalist, has nothing to do with Nigeria’s ban on gays and lesbian, but has everything to do with absence of a workable system in our identification and verification processes.

The main reason Nigeria is suspended from Immigrant visas category is because Nigeria does not have a credible background investigation system that groups like Interpol can rely on to vert and certify originality.

What that means is that if someone commits a crime in lagos and relocates to Kano, there’s no system that can be used to track crimes and people across state lines.

Virtually all African countries have such systems even Ghana has it, Cameroun everyone has original birth certificates but nigeria prefers to have multiple identity cards not because they are interested in monitoring and tracking people but because they want to make money. Our country is a transaction society, you can buy anything even the human conscience.

Most responsible modern states in the world have tracking systems, but nigeria does not. A typical example, if you are about 40 years, if you go to your primary school to get your records they don’t have it. Principals and headmasters do not have computers in the 21st century.

Now only states that are considered rogue nations or failed states that do not have workable systems. Most nations in this category are nations at war. Nigeria is not at war but the irresponsible nature of our government makes Nigeria a war zone.

Now, back to US suspension, let me make it clear that only Immigrants visas are affected. Non immigrant visas are not affected. An immigrant visas is a type of visa that allows you to stay, work or even become a US citizen after you travel.

This category involves the type of visa you get when you marry an American citizen and have to relocate or the type of visas given to parents when their American citizens file for them or the visa you get through lottery.

Another category of visa affected is birth visas, these are medical tourism visas to come to America and have a baby. It is those categories of visas that are affected. Some waivers do apply. However, non immigrant visas like visitors or business visas are not affected, however going forward it will be difficult to get

What America is saying is that we cannot continue to give immigrant visas to your people if our investigators have no tools to work with to verify the true identity of your immigrant populations.

Example, someone who wins lottery or marries a US citizen, the investigators will want to check him up to primary school, but we have no records. Our government should be ashamed that we do not have a reliable working system to track Nigerians instead of deceiving the people to assume it is unfair what US has done.

Our government should be ashamed that today we are grouped with countries like Eritrea and Sudan. A sensible country, what they should be doing now is to put such a system in place, but they will not. Last year, two of my American friends visited Nigeria and came back with Nigerian international passports. That can never happen in Ghana or even Liberia. But with money you can buy a mans conscience in Nigeria.

With as little as three to five hundred dollars people are ready to subvert the law and do the unthinkable. With just Ten thousand Naira anyone can get local governments origin letters, worst still, today traders who never stepped their legs in universities are given degrees and people even serve youth service with fake results. If you are America will you continue to give immigrant visas to a country you cannot verify a simple certificate?

If you are America will you continue to give citizenship to immigrants whose entire documents for relocation to your country may have been forged?

We forge ID cards, we forge bank statements to get visas, we forge birth certificates, we forge marriage certificates, we forge election results, what is it that we do not forge?

We should not blame the US, the truth is we have failed as a nation. More disturbing, those who are clamoring that we need a working system are those who are arrested and locked up on frivolous reasons, charged with hate speech and ostracized by society.

According to my good friend Frank Anoh, he says we are a nation of criminals. I somewhat would agree with him. We are a nation of criminals. However, I blame my generation more, we continue to subvert the system for a plate of porridge. Until this independence era politicians leave the scene, Nigeria will continue to operate in the 16th century. God help us.

Nigeria has no data base. It has always been like that. Let's not beat about the bush. Nigerians have been banned because of buhari

The systemic & complete bastardization of the Nigerian state have been due to the desperation of the hausa-fulani politico-military power clique to subjugate this nation to their own perpetual control from antiquity.This have led to many of the ills beleaguering Nigeria today.

No accurate censor demographics & no hope of any in view but FG is doing animal census.No national identity base(NIMC is comatose) but they're littering our popula-tion with indiscrimi-nate reproduction & allowing illegal immigrants across the northern borders.

Appointments are based on nepotism and incompetency. Security is totally zero while terrorists are granted executive luxury.The sanctity of human life no more have any value.

So why would business visa applicants and those travelling for birth will continue to get visa? Are they not in the same community with the students and visitors trying to get visa?

Because Buhari has been Nigeria's president since 1960, right?

Are we not ashamed as Southerners to sometimes make this type of allegations as the one you made above while in the last 20 years Southerners have been at the helm of affairs for 14 years?
If you r not ashamed I am.

Op you are wrong. Credible background information is all about not allowing a potential terrorist into your country.

The ban was inevitable.

Buhari is an unmitigated disaster to this country. A fulani man who is also an Islamic extremist.

The fulani herdsmen are the 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world. Instead of proscribing them, Buhari wanted to give them RUGA.

A president that is an Islamic fundamentalist and a jihadist. A soldier gets captured by Boko Haram and he is beheaded. But Boko Haram gets captured and the President directs them to be rehabilitated and sent back into society. Sending them back when the war against BH is still ongoing.

And you think the USA does not know?
Look at the countries put in the ban. All of them are countries with terrorist affiliation.

The muslim hausa-fulanis and their lackey have been running this country like a feudal fiefdom since after after telling people that Igbos and Biafrans are the problem since 1970.

Look the trend since 1970, you have to sufficiently anti-Igbo christian before you win election as president of this country. That's why a shariaist, nepotist bigot like buhari can win election in Nigeria twice.

Until these fulani nomads from fouta jallon are seriously dealt with like they are treated in Ghana, they will continue to milk this country of all it goodwill and drag the country down into the ground, taking everyone forcefully with them.

There should be an uprising to balance out issues.
