Nigerian Lady Shares How Her Family Won The U.S. Visa Lottery ‘as A Joke’ by Chilipepper(op): 1:44pm On May 03, 2025

She say she no dey meant to end life for Abule Egba: Lady shares how her family won the U.S. visa lottery ‘as a joke’ and relocated within a year.

Everyday I think about how my parents moved to America by luck, we played the visa lottery game as a joke. Next thing you know, we won and moved within a year

Ever since I was a young child, I knew I wasn’t meant to spend my life in Abule Egba it was destiny pls 🙏🏾

Everyone is saying “as a joke” but I remember the day we applied so vividly. We were at some cyber cafe, we legit thought it was just banter. We even forgot we applied, then a year later we got mail that we won and the rest is history

I applied just once and wasn't selected. By the following year, Nigeria had been removed from the list of eligible countries to participate.

My cousin that came to visit us in Lagos then during one holiday like that, he went out to play football just close to our house and then he saw the advert of visa lottery in the front of one business Cafe. He applied and the rest is history.

He is in the US as we speak

Before this lottery thing, the Caliber of Nigerians migrating to the US was pretty good.
Once they introduced this lottery, all sorts of yeye people were allowed to migrate to the US.
Food sellers, Pastorprenual conmen, baba alawo, alias, mechanics, barely educated yahoo yahoo boys etc.

Why was Nigeria removed from the list of eligible countries?
