The United States Department of State on Tuesday announced an update to its non-immigrant visa policy for Nigerians and other African citizens.

According to a statement by the US Embassy in Abuja on Tuesday, “most non-immigrant and non-diplomatic visas issued to citizens of Nigeria will be single-entry visas with a three-month validity period.”

The new visa restrictions take immediate effect.

African leaders need to stand tall in the face of imperialist.

Good leadership cannot be over emphasised. If not for poor leadership why will you travel to America a violent nation. Where guns are sold in shops and yet the home nation is complaining about violence

It seems the list doesn't include countries whose presidents speak fluent English.
I hope the list wasn't based on English proficiency. Perhaps President Tinubu should work on his phonetics, pronunciation, grammar, and accent to increase their chances of getting invited to the Oval Office.
I wouldn't want to see President Trump limit Nigerians' visit duration to America to 3 weeks instead of 3 months.
I beg make unna beg President Tinubu not to speak Yoruba accent English in Oval office ooo
😂.

You must continue supporting him.

I don't know whether the man hypnotised you all.

There's not a single metric in this life that makes him a presidential material.

Yet, the people that he HATES the most, support him the most.

I have never seen such sorcery.

Hmmmmm

Not really, Egypt has been a loyal lap dog for America for ages, Morroco is not any different, they will do anything to please the Americans because they don't want America on their case by preaching Democracy in Morroco.

As for South Africa, Trump want to get as many Afrikaners in as possible in the window that he is still the President.

This things always have undertones.

Trump is fulfilling what he said during campaign. Anyone that claims he/she supported Trump but is disappointed means the person knows nothing about what he/she was supporting. They should be disappointed in themselves for supporting wetin dem no know.
