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

According to the report, Nigerians would not be barred from entering the country but would not be issued with certain types of visas.

The report reads in part, “The Trump administration plans to add seven countries to a group of nations subject to travel restrictions, including Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, along with others in Africa and Asia, according to administration officials who have seen the list. President Trump has called for an end to that program, saying it lets undesirable people into the US, and he has proposed reorienting the existing visa system toward skilled workers instead.Nigeria had already been barred from participating from the lottery programme over six years ago.

The administration has said its policy restricting travel is necessary to prevent potential acts of terrorism, as countries on the list don’t adequately vet their travellers to the US.

Thanks to America for this wonderful gift. What do we expect when some fools were busy burning American flag because of Iran crises

Is US issuing visa to Nigerians! capital no. Ltt them hold on to their visa.

Country in total MESS...security 00 percent. ..😎

An achievement under APC led federal government by BUHARI. SHAMEFUL 😎

We die here💪

realDonaldTrump should also remember some us in Nigeria praying against his impeachment.

Am truly not surprised..

Some are even clamouring for a 3rd term for someone that the rest of the world leaders don't even like to associate with...oh no wonder he's always traveling for visit...how many world leaders have visited you?

The flag that was burnt still dey pain trump

Every country does WHAT IS GOOD FOR ITS COUNTRY. Nigeria closes Border! America stop visa! Let the music play!

Naa only we Nigerians Waka come this world eeeh! Which kind wahala be all this one. If Ghana mess, dem go say na Nigeria, if cotonou shit, dem go say naa Nigeria.

Lolz

It's obvious realDonaldTrump is angry with Nigerians that having informed Nigerians that buhari is lifeless how did we elect him again in 2019. He's angry that majority of those who re elected him are equally lifeless and he wouldn't want such lifeless folks in the United States

Not now Trump, finish one first kwanu

who cares they should dey their dey lets dey our own dey. Our guy Boris Johnson gatch us.

'Next Level' Work!

They should calm down oo, at least till my vision 2022 passes.

Kin pa ga abinda kika jawo mana. You dared the dude too much, he is now retaliating

Shey ko pay?

Which way Nigeria..... I'm weeping for this country

US should pity 'we'(nigerians) that have legit business now....

Thunder fire them

Wet in we do them?

The one we are currently observing is what?

It's all over the news, once that ban is in place the shit hits the fan. Thanks to incompetent Leaders busy dithering whilst everything else crumbles

Welcome development

SMH

Stop confessing negatively.

What 😫😆😪🙄🙄

I don't know why I don't believe this can happen. The worse it would be more more difficult to get visa to their country. But complete ban I so much doubt that. you will always need us for good or for bad.

That would be nice

They should please include politicians in the list ..awon werey

Do it shap shap I am tired of over rated one country as if God is from US, we do have successful pple in Nigeria that did not travel to US!.

This is a welcome development that Is long over due

IT IS OVER DUE

The visa restrictions should only be imposed on Buhari, his family, members of his APC party, Cabals, his spin doctors and propagandists

'Countries being considered are said to have failed to meet State Department standards on biometrics, information-sharing and counter-terrorism measures'

We seen this coming tho. Buh our government ddnt to anything bout it. I can tell yu, those selfish and self centered leaders who brought this on us will still travel.

IS best for them...Thats what those stupid muslim boys caused..protesting for Iran that is not even a friend to Nigeria...I cant wait for Biafra to be free from Nigeria

If this happens then Gen Buhari would have committed a cardinal sin against the young citizens of Nigeria by depriving them the ability to be able to explore all options available to them in life trying to be successful globally especially US which is worlds largest Economy.

Afrobeat_World adlynquart

See wetin shiite pple cause us nw.. Am very sure if not fr dat protest they held abj in support of iran we wouldn't have been placed under this so called restriction..

Well, my grandpa no travel out for once and he was very rich and great. So, I can be here in Nigeria and be the richest man in the world even without stepping to some certain countries

At least you will fight your war with Iraq abi Iran alone, don't involve us abeg.

Who even need to travel to US with the great job Buhari is doing with our economy, before the end of the year we shall be among the top 20 economies in the world 🙄🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

If it's not done,then they're cowards

Interesting as if it hasn’t been happening since ...

What's my business, I have been in naija since I was born, those that would be on red alert now are the thieves who have hidden our collective money in US. They will thinking how to move their stollen money from US

Why not our political leaders? Trump please rethink this ooo

Interestingly excellent!!

Wetin Dy d us sef wey d man wan kill himself upon 😏😏😏

Yes oo

That ryt! Naija must get sense

That's good

Welcome development. Nigeria is fast becoming a den of terrorists.

Sir,please put a stay on this thought till i come over

Visa restriction affects only the poor that is trying to run away from ABUSE. The Leaders have already given their children American Passport by giving birth to them in USA with stolen Nigerian Money.

Oga o

When it has been fooled severally by those who shd not have the visa. Eko yin re.

Pls is lagos among

Heaven doesn't pass through America

We thank God for life.🙄

Business or visiting visas please, that's it not a full restriction...A ni se ori buruku ooo

Tanko should be number one on the ban pls

See what supreme court, releasing dreaded insurgents back to the society and terrorism have caused .

I hope the ban is only for our politicians who have turned this Country to an object of ridicule.

Meanwhile our useless politicians dey pack our money go there wey dem take dey develop their country. I hope this visa ban include the politicians as well. If not for our useless government watin b america

Go to hell with your useless visa

America Visa is not a licence to success.

Is it possible to stop them from obtaining visas to other countries not just the US. That would be much better. Let's see if they don't fix the rot in our country.
