Xena15:

This is just the beginning. Very soon, Alfa, Ibrahim, Yusuf, Musa, Abdul-Mustaphar, and even Musa Yar'adua etc will stop being issued U.S. visa.

slap1:

It is actions like this that incite terrorism. The US tinks they are a demi-god, some peepz wanna prove them wrong = terrorism. Let the US soft-pedal o.

The United States of America may have begun stringent visa restriction as part of its planned terror surveillance on Nigeria because Borno State’s Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Alhaji Mohammed Imam, who was billed to accompany Governor Ali Modu Sheriff to attend an annual World Agricultural Expo in Orlando, northern Florida in the United States has been allegedly denied visa for bearing ‘Imam’ as his surname, Sunday Trust gathered.
The US embassy in Abuja also told a Special Adviser on Housing to Governor Sheriff that he had no business attending the expo because his schedule of duties had no link with the event.

Oboma1:

But I can not believe my eyes, that someone can be denied visa, just becos he is called an "Imam". Anyway, it is good for them, and their religion. It is what they sow, that is what they must reap.


As for the Special Adviser, it is good also for him, becos it is just waste of tax-payers funds.

otawa:

This is what US, UK should have been doing long ago but because it pays their economy they did not.

UN should employ all countries to place ban on all Nigeria Government officials. Let them stay at home and fix our problems.

There is internet and tele-conference so no reason for travels.

Enjoyment1:

Until this effort is extended further, we might not feel the impact. Let all commissioners, ministers, governors, and even the President be made to face the music. Let them sit back and fix this nation. This nation is drifting daily to destruction.

kkkossy:

dis will only apply 2 government personell having core islamic names

My Guy, let it apply to anybody, I do not care, but let these people feel what ordinary Nigerians are feeling out there.

This is how most Nigerians are now treated at Foreign airports

I love this video. That is exactly what our passport has turned into.

selingel:

Whatever is happening to these guys from the north, is just their past hunting their present, and they better be careful, so that it does not hunt their future.

MT:

This is a good development. Even the governor deserves to have his visa revoked !. Why will the governor be attending the same conference with his special adviser on Agriculture ?. There are pressing issues in the state and the adviser can always come back to brief him.

Thank to the United States for helping to plug another hole in the budget !

P.S: I think we can start writting to the different embassies, in our own individual capacities, on the need for the embassies to start verifying the importance of a trip to the government official's portfolio. Most of their trips are needless and only meant for money laundering.

Enjoyment1:


All these are stories my Dear, all these Hausa's will never contribute to the development of the north, rather, they will never stop in buying SUV and Honda to their aides, so that they can score cheap political points, while still impoverishing their subjects the more.

Oboma1:

It is a welcome development. I will suggest same to individuals; let them write to these embassies to help us curtail these wastages. People are dieing becos of these greed from our leaders.

Xena15:

Will these embassies oblige?

MT:

At least let us try it out. There is no harm in trying. It's a good way of using our idle time to contribute to the development of our nation. Let the letter start to flow (either hard copy or email).

We can even mention particlualrs names in our letter and make reference to how he/she has enriched himself/herself by shortchanging the people. I can bet that after what happened with the US intelligence onAbdul-muttalab, every mail will be treated with utmost caution by the intelligence officers at the various embassies.

will they ever take these letters serious, as terrorists situation is totally different from internal affairs of a nation.

MT:

Believe me, they will. Terrorism and internal affairs of a nation are linked together. Poverty can easily lure a citizen to do what he might not ever think of doing in his life time.

I bet I will fire the first salvo to some foreign embassies tomm, and will feel justified for contributing my own quota. Let's declare wars on these corrupt officials without the use of weapon!
