Japanese and Chinese because of pride speak their own language...you don't see Japanese prime minister speak English in the UN meeting even if he can. See! igbo is dying. I see many Igbo youths that can't speak igbo, forming phonetics. Unlike Hausa and Yoruba that is taught from childhood. Many igbo parents sometimes willingly refuse teaching Igbo to their kids because they want them to appear more western or civilized which is very wrong. See many igbo brought ups in Lagos, Kaduna, kano etc can't speak igbo. In the North even in official setting they joyfully speak their hausa but in the east it is not the case. I don't know why many igbos sometimes pretend they can't speak igbo and this is rampant among young youths and those slay Queens...The language will slowly die with this mentality erasing our culture. We should encourage igbo to be spoken and no one should be shy to speak it. We igbos always try to appear more western which in the long run will affect our heritage.

Oga!!! Ur argument is baseless, those countries u name above speck a unifieing language, which are Chinese, Japanese, Dutch , Korean etc. And there citizens speck English at the international stage. Nigeria is a muti-legual nation, English is our unifieing language.

No!...Japanese and Chinese because of pride speak their own language...you don't see Japanese prime minister speak English in the UN meeting even if he can. See! igbo is dying.

My dear don't mind them. The more they hate us, the more we rise above them. Records have shown that if Igbos leave Lagos, the economy of Lagos will be like that of Ondo or Osun state.

I am igbo and I hate all these victim blame mentality...yoruba and igbos hate us, don't we hate them too...this ethnical thing just dey tire me...our problem still remains ethnicity which is pushing us backward...everyone na black man, black race, Bantu race....language and culture is just what makes us different

If conoravirus shows in Nigeria, WhatsApp will kill more people compared to the virus. The fake news that spread on WhatsApp...remember how the salt therapy killed people during the ebola crisis that was spread through WhatsApp... I have noticed that Nigerians are very gullible even the learned. This Coronavirus is not even as deadly as Ebola but is airborne that's why it is feared

Mistaicey2288:
Nobody js praying for it to happen. All i said is we should still remain at alert and ready.

and how do you know the health agencies like the centre for disease control(CDC) are not ready ?

abrahamadadhe:
Less than 2 weeks after Supreme Court "questionable" judgment then this

Local man has seen enough
I pity Imo State indigenes

all Nigerian politicians will do exactly what they did...it always happens...

sammyj:
Thank God. I saw a Chinese woman wearing a mask earlier today at a shopping mall but my people I got scared so I took the other direction based on the earlier message being circulated around ooo!!

how do you know she is Chinese...she might be Japan, from singapore, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Phillipines etc

Mistaicey2288:
Issokay... They should remain there and keep deceiving themselves.. Instead of being at alert, they're there making useless noise

please tell me how are they not at alert... Why do some people just pray for something bad

balher:
day by day....

If you like snap GMD in his toilet

Destroyerofyeeb:
Sit down and develop your own country amurikkka no be heaven una no go hear, unpatriotic Nigerians always running to and fro even tiny ghana go soon deport una soon with the way Nigerians are flooding the place

all visas are still valid except immigrant visa

tejiri4:
Sorry about what happened you did dat in good faith. I guess they sack ur source. But A better opportunities await him

This is federal civil service. They don't sack like that. The worst will be suspension which I doubt...probably a query

I love the ban. there are many rich men in Nigeria today who give no damn about visiting another person's country. I don't give any damn about USA or any useless country I can get killed at any fvcking time


so the ban for all Nigerians both elites and poor is a welcome development, I wish other countries can follow suit, they should all ban Nigerians from entering their country so that we can stone this useless leaders as instructed by Tony momoh whenever they failed


we overlook these useless leaders misgoverned because of alternative to jaapa, if this can be ban, we will sit our ass up


I love the ban

the ban does not stop politicians travelling overseas. The ban is not on student visa and other visas but on immigrant visa. The problem is we don't read. The ban is not on all Nigerians travelling to the US but on immigrant visa or h1b visa. F1 visa, tourist visa etc is not banned and the elites and politicians are not prevented from travelling the the US

GamalNasser:
It will even affect Nigerias ability to attract FDI from foriegn investors and I hope you know Nigeria FDI has already been on a steady decline under this ultra bad leader we have today

yeh I get that...a bad development

GamalNasser:
Where did I mention elite? Do you know it will affect FDI ? This is beyond travelling

From what I understand by FDI it means it will affect Nigerian investors trying to invest in the US

GamalNasser:
Oga we are talking about immigration visas here

yes and that is the only visa being banned for now. Anyone can still travel to the US for other reasons.... It doesn't even affect the elite as you wish

Benprass:
those that are going for education are they affected too?

No...it doesn't affect student Visa...only immigrant visa... Our problem is we don't read, the information is online and detailed

GamalNasser:
Tanzania has a high population of Islamic fanatics

what of Saudi, Egypt, Oman , Qatar, turkey, etc...seems you don't know what you say...Tanzanian having Islamic fanatics? What of the country I called above. The ban was on something entirely different. Nigerians have a bad reputation of living illegally in the US and Trump has always been voicing that. And please understand the content of the visa ban. Even Iran that is completely banned do have students that goes schooling in the US. Not all visa types are banned when you see ban

GamalNasser:
Shut up Trump's records are there for all to see , the best records of any US President in first 3 year ever ...Show us what your Buhari has achieved in 6 years ? Yet you support Buhari ..shei you can see something is doing you

why can't you read up...student visas and other visas won't be stopped or banned. The Visa they banned is immigration visa or h1b visa for permanent residency. This is due to many Nigerians staying illegally in US after their visa expires. Student visas and other visas are still going to be issued

McCoy662:
Word!! Let them ban us let's all rot here. At least they won't be moving our cash to the US for now.

The ban is not for everyone...we just see ban and we don't understand the context. It is for immigrant visa that leads to green card that is banned...student visa and other visas will still be issued

Wiifesnatcher:
I love the ban, thunder fire all Nigerian leaders both dead and alive one, they won't know peace


America is not heaven, this people sit their ass up to reach where they're today. let these useless leaders do the same and let the political sycophants licking their balls stop praising and defending them for doing what they're elected to do

If you understand the ban you will know it is people like you that can't get the Visa not the elites and politicians...go and read up. The ban is on Nigerians trying to immigrate for H1B visa

LagosismyHome:
Hummmmmm deep. Is this true?

Tried to read some of it yesterday and it was vague so I left the news alone . If this is true. I wonder if it's only applicable to incoming student and not affecting student who are already there

If this is true then Nigerians shine your eyes. There no point schooling in USA especially if you are paying your hard earned money (hard truth)

There are still assistantship and scholarships. What he means is that student with F1 visa won't be able to convert to H1b visa after schooling. It is a ban that might probably change after 2 years, 5 years etc...some are there for PhD or Masters so you can't be very sure what will be the situation after those years

realestniggah:
All they want is your money..trump is not interested in giving Nigerian visa into his country. Student visa, business visa, all these thing cost heavy money..atleast 1.5 million and above to get a USA visa now. USA isn't friendly anymore, they don't want us there. Look elsewhere.

please stop misinforming people...You have no idea about the student F1 visa that is still issued, how did you come up with 1.5 million. Seems you just came into the thread to spread misinformation probably after being denied

Jacktours:
are you sure,it's nt affecting student visa

Yes...why not read it online...The ban was fully explained and only affects immigration visa

It doesn't affect student visa

thekingofafrica:
Hello everyone in the house, what’s the implication of the current ban by America on F1 visa, can someone explain better ?

It doesn't affect student visa...only immigrant visas leading to permanent residency

News some weeks ago says US will start a ban of visa to some certain class in Nigeria...Didn't we read the news

ozoebuka1:
i chose Germany, Malay and China... How do i go about the DAAD thing please?

it is not yet open but log in to your ptdf portal and you will see a guideline on DAAD on the left hand screen

ozoebuka1:
whats with all these DAAD... I registered without knowing anything about the so called DAAD... What has it got to do with ptdf, thanks.

for only those that selected German schools. If you did then you will have to apply separately to DAAD

hisgrace090:
Still stylishly dodging the main core Igbo man into sensitive post.

what is this for...before 1960 do we have anything like core igbo or non-core igbo or Deltan igbo....igbo is igbo

efighter:
Even if you are born 1000 times, you will still not be qualified to be Buhari's gateman.

are you claiming that insecurity in the country hasn't increased?...must everything be partisan. Can't we call a spade a spade. Insecurity has drastically increased with the country being polarized because of inactivities of the government, why do you think stuffs like Amotekun is coming up...Sometimes what you hear about Bokoharam and it being managed is very false. Come and see first hand what is happening in Borno. We should try and speak the truth even if we are bias. The country is doing badly in security right now

the message DAAD sent me is that the application period for the Nigerian-German Postgraduate Training Programme Master 2020 will start on the 1st February and end on the 21st February
