The United States President, Donald Trump, is set to add Nigeria and six others to a new list of countries on America’s visa restriction.

The new restrictions will apply to travellers and immigrants from Belarus, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania.

Several of them, however, have had relatively higher rates of their citizens overstaying visas in the US, according to the Demographic and Health Survey data. The new restrictions, expected to be announced on Monday, next week, will coincide with the third anniversary of the first list Trump signed into law after assuming the US’ Presidency.

“So, now retaliation is expected from all angles; from Hezbollah and from all the countries where you have Shi’ites populations that Iran may wish to use to strike America. Of course, you have this problem between Shi’ites in Nigeria and the government over the detention of their leader, El-Zakzaky.”

Also, a former Nigerian ambassador to Argentina, Ambassador .Chive Kaave, said it was within America’s diplomatic rights to determine who gets its visas, adding that the Federal Government was free to reciprocate the US action.

They know that Nigeria is an Islamic nation. Travel ban will definitely affect us until the tension goes down

Please oh! Only those guys wearing caftan, bearing Iranian-like names and pronouncing 'the' as 'za' and 'pork' as 'fork'. God bless the Potus and the great people of America
