To flee to from Nigeria to US no easy.
The resources needed, flight tickets, visa procedures etc. The parents should be living above average in Nigeria to make that journey.

There are some Area and Cult boys in Lagos that if you cross them even MC Oluomo might not be able to help you
it will be a good idea for you to seek asylum in Europe or US

The good thing is that they are not so many

U see the USA has just stole one of our talented brother /citizen due to the neglect of our leaders,
As it always said
God works in mysterious ways

Did the US went to Nigeria and took him there ?
Or you would prefer to see the US leave the boy and family suffering with no papers in the US?

The chess champion had moved to New York from Nigeria in 2017, seeking religious asylum after the family, devoutly Christian, was threatened by the terrorist group Boko Haram and forced to flee their country.

Blatant and brazen lie for a Yoruba to claim prosecution or threat from Boko Haram. The terrorists activities are restricted to North Eastern part of the country. A simple thing a Yoruba can do it to run back home to South West instead of fabricating lie to get to the US.
