I already know all these but I also know that you can live a decent life as a single person with £1k and you could save another £1k(About N600k) monthly if you have a work permit and fortunate to earn £2k or more monthly.

now i understands why you choose the first 3 countries

Zaynny83:
You are quite right, no immigrant would pick UEA , Qatar, Saudi Arabia as their first choice basically because most Nigerian are 'anywhere belle face'. Everyone want to migrate to where Mr. A migrates to...follow follow atitude. All u need to do is to visit UAE and you will swallow all ur ignorant words

Zaynny83:

I see you are nt that enlighten in term of international economy. Qatar is the richest country in the world, United Arab Emirate is the 9th richest compared to the United States which is the 13th richest county and Saudi Arabia ranked 14th richest not to talk of Kuwait which is the 6th richest. He answered your answer correctly and all you can ask him is, if, he is a muslim. There are way better countries than the United States. Grow up

Yes there have been some minor cases of green card holders being detained but if it happened after the last order was over ruled by the judge then how can it be due to trump's order?
Even during Obama and any other president green card holders have been detained if there is a reason to do so.

With the new executive order it has been made very clear green card holders and people with existing visas will not be affected, and it clearly only targets 6 specific countries (Iraq has been removed as the Iraqi government put in place extra measures from their end). I agree some green card holders were initially detained when the first order was issued and that was due to the abrupt manner it was implemented amid confusion, but it was later confirmed green card holders would not be impacted.

I still don't see how any of this warrants a travel advice from Abike Dabiri. She claims 4 Nigerians were sent back in the last 2 weeks, I am very sure it was not because of the executive order but something else especially as she says they cancelled their visa at the airport which suggest immigration fraud. This always happened even during Obama's time.

The only situation I can see a Nigerian being impacted by the executive order is if you have travelled to one of the countries on the watch list. This will definitely flag you up for extra questions and you may be sent back.

Till the specifics of this story are made known then all you'll hear is pure speculation. People are denied entry on a range of infractions, many of which those denied do not reveal. With this temporal travel ban, everyone and their mother who gets denied can use this as a cover.

New York gallery owner denied entry to US
(CNN)An Argentinian art gallery owner based in New York will miss the opening of his institution's newest show because he was denied entry to the United States.
Juan Garcia Mosqueda, founder and owner of Chamber gallery in New York City, claimed in an open letter that he was detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport after returning from a visit to Argentina.
Mosqueda says he was held for 14 hours without access to legal counsel. He was allegedly ushered by armed officers onto a return flight to Buenos Aires later in the day.

French Historian Says He Was Threatened With Deportation at Houston Airport
Henry Rousso, a French historian and one of the most pre-eminent scholars on the Holocaust, said he was detained for more than 10 hours by federal border agents in Houston and told he would not be allowed to enter the United States before lawyers intervened to stop his deportation.

That's a post showing some of the reasons why people have always been turned back at point of entry and it is not targetting

https://www.nairaland.com/2495235/usa-visa-got-cancelled-poe

That's is a another link of a Nigerian who was denied in 2015, why wasn't a statement issued then or was Trump in power then?


https://www.nairaland.com/864807/denied-entry-into-uk

That's another Nigerian denied entry to the UK in 2012. See how I found you ass a spread over the years? Why no cry of Nigerians targeted ?

People will always be denied and that's a fact. If a border official has reason to suspect you are not coming for shah you claim to be coming for you will be questioned.

Abiri coming to the conclusion Nigerians are targeted because 4 people were turned back out of the thousands who travelled in that 2 week period is bullshit.

ApexTitan:


Please show us more. In fact, dig back to 2009 when saint Obama was in office and you will see that border agents and TSA officials have been detaining and turning back some supposedly 'valid travellers' since then. All of this did not start in 2017 and so saying that it's a result of Trump's executive order is false.

All of those cases were unique and until the specific reasons or what truly transpired at the POE are released then what is going on here is just speculation and fear mongering.

davidif:


Goodness gracious! You Trumpkins would defend your master to the death it seems. The truth of the matter is that the collateral effects of the Trump ban has ensnared a lot of people who are not from the banned countries. We are seeing border patrol sending people back home easily. I guess they have been giving more authority than they ever have and they can turn you back for any reason now.

If you have never had to cross into the US multiple times you shouldn't be talking about border patrol as this people can send you back for any reason even if you have a legal status that's how powerful they are and now that they have been more emboldened, who knows what they would do?

It is amusing how you choose to ignore the fact that border agents and TSA officials developed a 'reputation of notoriety' that pre-dates the current temporary travel ban.

How do you explain all the detentions and denials of entry that occurred before 2017?

How do you also explain the cases of hundreds, if not thousands of Nigerians who have successfully gained entry to the States even after the executive order issuing the travel ban had been signed? I personally know of a friend whose trip to the US a few weeks ago was via Turkey, a largely Muslim country, he had no issues at all at his point of entry - JFK Int'l airport.

Much of the hysteria and panic in the media is fueled by people who have political objectives, that is why all this is made to appear to have just started in 2017.

Not everyone is fooled.
