“Nigeria was partially banned by the Trump administration due to security deficiencies in vetting and information-sharing, the presence of radical armed groups, and high visa overstay rates.”

Nigeria and the US are already working on the presence of radical armed groups, but I have not seen any information on information sharing, and I think that is very important. I hope we can improve information sharing without compromising ourselves as a sovereign nation.

Akinlot:
I completely agree. Except the lobbying firm the government employed is able to pull off a miracle, there is nothing that points towards Nigeria getting off the ban by June or before he leaves office.

TemporaryHansel:
Defeated Okowa in another dimension or different reality perhaps. It was Peter Nwaoboshi(may his soul rip) that he defeated.

Na all those men claiming to be traditional/African men to the core that would sit and cross leg while their spouse gets nearly worn out from chores and taking care of the kids and the home in general.


Me Personally I don't like third party in my space/home, so the idea of maids is not something I really fancy.

It's only normal for someone like me to actively assist madam with chores and some errands which a maid would've done.

Emaprince:
You got it.

Some men will even let their pregnant wives do chores while they cross legs on the center table, watching TV

raumdeuter:
In Nigeria where domestic help is cheap some get up to 3 to help with chores. 2 drives 3 househelps

Then Oga and Madam can chill all they want. If I was in Nigeria I will definitely have domestic help. Even abroad wey I dey I still employ people to cut my lawn and do deep cleaning like one time a quarter or every 6 months

The man might be the avenger just wait for it

Olawrites:
Our own jollof president is hiding from visiting the White House to talk man to man.

Going by the post of Trump on Truth Social regarding Nigeria, it's not looking good.
Based on his obsession, I don't see him lifting the ban throughout his administration.

AyobamiIsaac12:
please are the solar panels from hithium too and how good are they?

MikeBlazee:
No one made any mention of a fully funded program. All that was discussed was already known information. That’s what I am looking for- a fully funded visa interview

MikeBlazee:
Please, has anyone gone to the US embassy in Abuja or Lagos for a F-1 Visa interview recently for a fully funded PhD program?

izzou:
Hehehehehe

Despise kwa? Easy, my Chief.

Well, I can't say for the North, but for the South, roads are currently ongoing. The Sagamu to Ijebu Ode is ongoing..
The Benin to Asaba is ongoing. The East West road is ongoing. Benin to Sapele is ongoing, and some others I can't remember sha. Owerri to Aba is also ongoing. Julius Berger still dey do Lagos/Ibadan expressway since GEJ era too.

They are all concrete too.

He is doing well in terms of roads. We have to give him that!

Abeg why is Simi being dragged for some days now?

ChristineC:
where did you buy it and how many KVA?

BlueRayDick:
Okay I will check it out.

How well does it serve you ? What appliances do you connect to it and how long does it last?

BlueRayDick:
With 1.4m, how many batteries will come with the solar set up?

And like how long will it last on full charge? i.e if I decide to use it just for lightning, fan, TV and basic charging of phones and laptop in normal socket?(Excluding AC, pressing iron and microwave)

Foodempire:
Many people at my first bank branch today complaining about tax deductions from their matured treasurybill, they weren't aware of it so the uproar in the manager office was so loud. Imaging paying a tax of up to 2.4m of money you've long spent i heard from the crowd.

I hope mutual funds investors won't have to pay tax on accrued interest when one is ready to withdraw capital?

This is your personal illusiion and generalization. Pls stop spreading it.

Vanjori:
Read to understand. I still stand on what I said. All prospective students who has summited an application to a US university before the visa ban should reach out to them before they contact an applicant themselves. Many applications are being declined due to lack of communication. When this visa issue started, the first thing I did was to contact schools I have not gotten an offer from. I explained to them the current situation (even though I know they are aware) and while some school said they will consider my application, others said they will consider my application for the next semester and I do not need to apply again to them.

Now it will shock you that most of my guys who refused to contact them were sent an email saying due to the visa issues, their application cannot be considered. Communication is key. In situations like this you need to communicate.

Don't go ahead telling people to disregard communicating with their school, you will be doing them more harm than good.

Vanjori:
What are you saying If you wait for the school to reach out to you first, they will be reaching out with a letter declining your application due to the ban. You are supposed to reach them first.

We are all in the game, so u can't tell me it's easier said from afar. I know it's painful but the result is that one person can make u lose your job. So it's better to avoid it than remedy the results.
U know it was an error on her path, but u also have a blame cos u didn't confirm destination at PU point. she was directing u to d right address. It's not as if she wants to swindle u after taking her to her destination. The right thing to do is renegotiate a fair price to the right destination. If it doesn't work for u then u drop her and let her go. Cos in this case u haven't gone up to 2km yet.
There will be problem if u are asking her to pay the 5k by force, even if that's d right thing, ones fight enter u are now on d wrong side.
There is no app that will not block u ones u get physical with a rider irrespective of who is at fault.
But if u feel u are right and didn't do anything wrong, continue and repeat it with Bolt and Uber since u don't want to take advise.

The kind traffic wey I dey see across major highways is horrible.

Anybody traveling to the South from Lagos, should please avoid Benin (Byepass or Town) to protect your mental health

Thank you @Akinlot. The link you posted is that of the White House, and any top-U.S. government officials can post there. You can see where president Trump is posting " I restricted " Not The U.S. government restricted. Ipso facto, Trump is not a dictator or a military ruler.

To guide you very well, and for emphasis, once Trump proposal is granted by the U.S senate or the White house, they will then post it officially on the U.S. embassy websites located in all countries.

Here is the official website for the U.S. Embassy in Abuja (and Consulate in Nigeria) ng.usembassy.gov, where you can find information on visas, citizen services, appointments, and official announcements,

So, until it is posted on the U.S. embassy website, it is still a proposal.

I read it also on BCC and Washinton post but i am yet to see it posted officially on the U.S. embassy website, therefore, it is not official yet.

Whenever president Trump talks with frustration when answering journalists, that does not automatically turn his wishes to law. He has said and done many things like that in the past, but at the end it was not ratified by the white house or halt by the supreme court.

As of the time of typing this message , it is still a proposal (not official) that Nigeria might be place on "Temporary Entry Restiction (not visa ban) come January 2026.

Ellexy:
Nihilist seems to be the demon you can't exorcise, very powerful he haunts you night and day. You see him practically in any thing that clashes with your beliefs, he's always in the shadows plotting, creating alternate monikers just to mock you and get under your skin. He enjoys tormenting you by playing hide and seek with different monikers and watching you try to unmask those monikers.

It's very accurate to say he lives rent free in your subconscious, a place you’ve turned into his comfort zone simply by the attention you keep feeding it. Ironically, starving him of that attention might make him disappear but your ability to see him in the shadows is just too strong.

To an outside observer like me, it’s a fascinating, almost tragic spectacle to behold every time.
