The vast majority of Trump's supporters in Nigeria will never get the opportunity to study in the US or sponsor their wives to procreate there. The Nigerians who don't support his immigration policies are those with a chance or can actually move to the US via studies, business or for whatever reason. I support Republican-like capitalism but wish Trump loses the election because of his immigration policies.

But wait oo

As a Nigerian, What do we get as benefit of being a citizen of this country

I don’t support his republican capitalism. It’s only for the wealthy. I’m not wealthy. If your family makes over 6 figures but are not millionaires, you will lost likely be the hardest hit by his system.
I couldn’t believe my eyes last year when I got my refund .
Paid enormous taxes last year and got almost nothing back. Thanks to his useless (to regular folks) tax reform.

His system only favors the billionaires and millionaires club. I’m sure the poor people who supported him got the surprise of their lives during last tax season but they are too headstrong to admit when they are wrong.

Nigeria don cast already. Na Canada and Australia I pity pass. Next thing nau na to change direction...

Lol

Victorex001:


Chairman calm down. Develop which country? A country that is being ruled by a clueless old slowpoke? While the youths supposed leaders of tomorrow keeps licking the asses of old greedy politicians?

I bet if you had the money you’d give your child dual-citizenship.

Yoighaman:
Must we migrate? Stay in Nigeria and make good money, then go visiting, that's one of the best life to live but many have been brainwashed.

Come mama Eliza place and see that u work for nothing.
More than half of your pay goes into the system. Infact, u work to maintain the welfare system practiced here.
So many eu people cashing out monthly just like that without doing anything that at the end of the day, they are better than u that's working

Although I heard that if brexit occur, tax reduces.

I will migrate to north korea

Why are u loling my brother

We are flooding Canada soon

From responses here, Nigeria's "lower class" are elated by this development and why should they not be? The contract worker in your bank's branch will never get to give birth or sponsor his wife to do same in the US; the dude doing his ND has resigned his fate about such privilege; the lass who struggles to fend for herself never imagine doing same and lots more in Watt Market, Ladipo, Gboko, Offa etc. They are happy with this development because even when the law was there, they never benefitted. So is it now it has been restricted that they would be worried? Ta! The persons who are worried about this are your upper middle class in Lekki, VI, Maitama, Ikoyi, Ikeja GRA, PH GRA etc. who believe their children lose out of a powerful passport which confer on them unfettered access to some of the world's best institutions at affordable rates and ease of entry at different POE stations globally. It is the middle class families who are in Yaba, Surulere, Ibadan, PH etc. who are worried that since they cannot afford $1M for investor's visa or even that of countries in the Caribbean region ($100K+) citizenship by investment, the citizenship by birth can afford their children (not them as parents) same opportunities as those in Lekki and Co.

However, these elites and upper middle class folks are in the minority or are basically infinitesimal in the scheme of things as the vast majority of Nigerians are poor. Those in the lower strata of the society won't feel concerned for the Ikoyi folks because these Maitama individuals didn't and don't feel concerned for the struggles of persons in my first sentence pass through. Which brings to the reality that Nigeria has to be developed and only the upper/middle class individuals can push for such development. But then, these Yaba, Ewet Housing, Ikoyi folks will simply move to Canada, Mexico, Brazil and other countries that offer citizenship by birth. After all, when the UK stopped post school visa, they moved to Germany and currently Canada.

In summary, the vast vast majority of Nigerians will be ecstatic with this news because it doesn't affect them in anyway let alone negatively. Call it schadenfreude, you won't be wrong.

No of course we pay tax. We just paid more since his tax reforms and middle class tax refund reduced.

Only low/poverty line earners and millionaires are benefiting from his reform.
We also pay social security, Medicare and Medicaid (different from taxes) so that low income earners can have benefits. I don’t mind this. I believe in supporting those who can’t earn enough support themselves.

But can you believe billionaires getting huuuge tax breaks to keep more billions in their account (because they provide jobs bla bla bla) while middle class earners are suffering for it?.

Freiburger:

Grow up dear...
It has got nothing to do with jealousy.
Some people you see here commenting, already possess one of the most powerful passports in the world. They don’t need any gadamm visa to visit the US.

The issue here is our people always like to embark on activities which they feel the ordinary person can’t afford, without actually having the need for it.

The fact that an artist like Davido was born in the US, contributed little or nothing to his career‘s success.

This epidemie must stop. It makes our people look silly.

salford1:

This is a classic conservative style politics. Conservatives somehow believe that trickle down economics create more jobs, however the billionaires just keep the money to themselves. If it's a business, the top executives just payout huge bonus to themselves and reward their shareholders with surplus dividends.

AnanseK:
A very good move. I wonder why a foreigner delivering his foreign child in America should automatically give the children citizenship.
A good move to stop the birth tourism but not enough.
There should be legislation in America to rule that all children born in America have the citizenship of their parents countries. So the baby is American only if the parent was already an American citizen. That makes sense.

What is this one saying now?

The conservatives politicians might be getting kickbacks from the trickle down politics too. No wonder they are usually the most corrupt
It's no surprise a lot of Trump's associates are in jail
