Factfinder1:
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has advised Nigerians who have no compelling or urgent reason to travel to the US to postpone their travel plans until the new administration’s policy on immigration is clear.

A statement in Abuja by Dabiri-Erewa’s media aide, Abdurrahman Balogun, said that the warning became imperative due to series of reports received by the office of the SSA.

In the last few weeks, the office has received a few cases of Nigerians with valid multiple-entry US visas being denied entry and sent back to the Nigeria. In such cases reported to the office, such affected persons were sent back immediately on the next available flight and their visas were cancelled,” she said. Dabiri -Erewa said that “no reasons were given for the decision by the US immigration authorities.” The Presidential aide said that the statement “is only to advise Nigerians without any compelling or essential reasons to visit the US to consider rescheduling their trip until there is clarity on the new immigration policy.”
She, however, reminded Nigerians in the Diaspora to abide by the rules and regulations of their host countries and be good ambassadors of the country.

The cost of running this country is very high. The problem of this country is not really about what party rules, but the fact that we spend so much maintaining irrelevant positions.

Why should an SSA to the President have a media aide? This government reduced the number of federal ministries in order to reduce the cost of governance. With this revelation, that decision is no longer worthwhile as it is evident that other Senior Special Assistants and 'Junior Special Assistants' or whatever also have a coterie of aides attending to them.

I don't understand what has become of this country that we so much waste money on frivolity, just imagine this statement :

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign
Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa --- Now, the media aide to the Senior special assistant to president Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora. I am sure that there is Special Adviser to the president on foreign affairs and disapora, that one too will have his media aid.

Even the media aid will have special adviser. And these people are still paid from the coffers of government. All ministers too have special advisers on various "nonsense".

I am waiting to see the spokesperson of the spokesperson of the senior special adviser's media aid of madness affairs to the president. RUBBISH!

You never see anything. That media aide to Abike will have his own retinue of aides/assistants too. His buddies have to get presidency job too na.cheesy grin

A friend relocated to 9ja when his buddy became SSA to OBJ then.

Why do you think we spend over 70% of FG budget on recurrent expenditure?

Which country has ever progressed with a lame system like ours? shocked

Some defenders of rubbish will soon tell us that Abike pays her media aide from her own allowance. shocked

Ordinarily I respect Abike. But her aide didn't tell us the steps they have taken to reduce harassment of Nigerians at US ports of entry.

Have they written to US embassy or US State department to complain?

That some passengers are been deported upon their arrivals in the US port of entry should not be used to discourages other intending and genuine travelers to the United States, it has been happening before now,even during Obama's administration,and its normal,a Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria was once deported during Obama's administration,when the immigration officials couldn't justifies the purposes of his entry,and its repartration was done regardless of is status . I have personally witnessed several people In JFK, heathrow airport, OR Tambo etc been deported upon their arrivals. The fact remains, you should be able to prove to the immigration officials your purpose of entry into the country,if they are not adequately convinced that you have genuine reasons for gaining entrance into the country,you risk been deported. It happens everywhere,i wouldnt know of Nigeria.To me possession of Visa is an entry documents,for your onward travel to your chosen country,and to report to the immigration officials at the port of entry,your final entrance is determined by the officers on duty.

Who goes to US these days except for some very serious stuffs? Trump don harm US' international relations very well. Imagine detaining Mohammed Ali Jr. for hours asking him if he be Muslim. cry. US is neither a Christian nation nor an Islamic nation, but a secular nation.

If anyone invites me to US now, I go ask the person to come to naija because naija sure pass US now o. Racism and xenophobia are at their peaks in US right now, under this Trump's administration.

Please why is this information coming from the Office Of the SSA?

Do we not have a Minister of Foreign Affairs who I believe is in a better position to release such an Info.

Is someone fighting for relevance here?

What is this one saying? I am sure you are one of the favoured appointees of such office. So you mean all these useless offices cannot be combined one way or the other to reduce administrative cost.

And mind you, I am not derailing thread, but just talking about where I feel concerned.

Many lessons to learn and many things can be say because of this, and one thing I will say here, let us make our own country too good where people of other nations will be queuing to come and whereby we can also be respected by other nations. Not where we pick up evil names like international looters, drugs peddlers, scammers, kidnappers, ritualists, false pastors, etc. But let us do well and get good name and not where we ranked one of the highest in corruption ranking in the world. After all each of us still consider carefully who we make our friends and who will invite to our houses. Thank you
