This means they won't issue you any visa because it shows you're not telling the truth. There's no one who is learned enough to seek US Visa in this 2025, who will not possess at least one social media account.
Where is the freedom of speech they claim they are promoting?

This is a good one. People must learn to mind their utterances and reduce hate speech.

No one is saying you can't criticize but do that with an open mind and objective reasoning

It marks every political insults both national or international

And for those of you supporting Hamas and justice for Palestine people, just know you will never get visa..


And for even being a Muslim, you are under further scrutiny… because na una carry Palestine and Iran for head pass yet una wan go America…

Why do you hate america and love Iran and Islamic countries and still want to go to america ? Which kind juju be that?

And if you think you can delete those posts before you go for visa interview, just dey play with US technology, dem go still catch you..

More reason Africans should stay back to develop their country. But people like you prefer status quo.
Re: US Embassy Mandates Nigerian Visa Applicants To Remove Social Media Privacy by Dougad:
This one strong ooo 🤣

The social media accounts that bear my legal name and identity are handled with utmost professionalism, almost akin to an aspiring politician's in the west.

It's difficult for me to understand the confidence that fuels people to make incendiary posts online, while having their full names and photos on display.

What if you claim you have no social media account? Is it mandatory to own one?
They will catch you through your Facebook and other social media accounts.

You can have your freedom of speech in your own country.

Well if Nigeria government was able to use our own resources to develop the country, all this insult would have been avoided.....
Hmm we Trump have already said he is going to punish Nigeria, it has already started little by little.

And how will they be able to link an account to me if I insist it's not mine? After all we know people who use other people's profiles (names, pictures etc) to open and run an account. I don't think that policy will fly.

The only thing they can do is to relax that policy, and mandate travellers to hand in their phones at the Point of entry. If they scrutinize your phone and see things they don't like, then the person should be denied entry and deported. They do this in most western countries
They are looking for excuses to deny people visa and you are only making it easier for them

Anybody who has ever been to the United States of America and have also visited Japan will prefer Japan to the United States of America for so many reasons unless you are born to worship America.

President Tinubu should call them to order. That is invasion of our privacy
Hmm you made a point here but is it a must for you to visit them?
Re: US Embassy Mandates Nigerian Visa Applicants To Remove Social Media Privacy by BondRiv: 4:30pm On Jul 08, 2025
They shouldn't mandate such, but I'm not surprised. A country that even spies on its citizens. Background check indeed.
Re: US Embassy Mandates Nigerian Visa Applicants To Remove Social Media Privacy by nwirinedu(m): 4:31pm On Jul 08, 2025
How are the mighty Naija fallen, after paying all that visa extortion fees .

When their people come here do we ask such?

Another instrument of discrimination.

We need to fix our country asap.

Just deactivate your account and claim you have none.
Hmm
With technology in place they can get you through the history even if you delete it. Am a mobile phone engineer so I know what am saying.

U said it all. I keep wo during why Muslims lovers of Iran and peering don't want to visit Iran a fellow Muslim country were dey can practise Islam with out restrictions?

Y do dey prefer US ? U love Iran but not to visit U hate US but want to visit. Haba
I used to wonder why Muslims keep eyeing migration to America and not other Muslim land but then I realised that America and the West are the one destabilising their Homeland.

Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Iran. Let assumed America left all the despots in this land to fight it out amongst themselves and the Rebels, Sebi dey will tire out someday and come to their senses?

America and the West are the ones that want Regime changes, they are the ones that want more of whatever Resources you are endowed with, so America should be ready to take in some of these people who fled from what America supported or started.

Look at Nigeria for instance, Our Collective Wealth is locked in American and European Banks' Vault, our Leaders keep taking instructions from them, why then would America or Europe turn anyone from Nigeria back is they are fed up with what obtain here?

Lying is worse o. That one can't be forgiven.
You can still explain away a post you made before or delete it.

But lying...don't even try it.

This is good. If you hate America, don't go there for a better life and start doing activist. Many of those who attacked America lived and schooled there.

We at our great party ADC advises the US embassy to screen applicants with honesty devoid of racial profiling.
