Canada Denies Nigerian Musician, Yemi Alade Visa Over Fears ‘She Won’t Leave The Country’
According to reports released by Le Devoir, a French newspaper published and distributed in Canada, the singer won’t be performing at a Festival’s final closing ceremony slated for Sunday.
Popular Nigeria-born musician, Yemi Alade, and her music band have been denied Canadian visa over fears that she and her crew may not leave the country after their performance.
According to reports released by Le Devoir, a French newspaper published and distributed in Canada, the singer won’t be performing at a Festival’s final closing ceremony slated for Sunday.
The 33-year-old Afropop star is said to be one of the headliners of the Festival international Nuits d’Afrique.
Commenting on the development, Suzanne Rousseau, the festival co-founder, said the visa denial was due to financial reasons, and for fears that the group wouldn’t leave Canada.
“Finally, we got an answer saying the musicians were refused, saying they have to guarantee that they have enough financial means that will make them go back to their country,” she said.
With Yemi’s absence, Suzanne has stated that the singer would have to be replaced at the festival by Sampa The Great, a Zambian-born Australia-based singer.

Na wa ooh.

This is why it's wise to get a second passport if you have the means, naija don cast under this APC government

Nawa

Nigerians with their bad character don go give us bad name 4 Canada lol.

Principles.

All the desperate japas have blocked the road for genuine ones.

On the basis of probability, and based on their experience with Nigerians in the past, there's a high likelihood that in a band of ten, 3 or four would japa.

So we should go and cry at the embassy??
Or you think she is the only one desperate to breath fresh air outside Nigeria?? What a news..

Righteousness2:
No matter the nation you are denied visa to , Ensure you are not denied the Visa to Heaven. Because you can enter the whole of Europe, America, Asia, Antarctica,etc. But if you miss Heaven, you have wasted your life.

The visa to Heaven is Holiness, without which no one will see JESUS Christ . The foundation of holiness is a genuine relationship with JESUS Christ.

Heaven's gateman, I hail

Abegi, they should just go and park well. Bunch of dumb mofos! Does Yemi look like someone who wouldn’t return to her home country?

They overdo these things and it’s getting annoying. Canada that some of us will reject if given a visa for free. Alayes…….
