APC is the reason Nigerians leave the country and roam the world commiting one crime or another?
You claim you want to move to countries where the system works you get there and you carry drugs, defraud people, carrys machete and axe in the name of cultism.
That's APC right?

Yes APC caused poverty and desperation, making us leave in numbers. Africans with good governments on the list have the least rejection,can you not see ? If do a list of standard of living those countries will be top again. Where is your own APC led government when it comes to good lists ?

But there's no APC in India, Thailand, USA.

Why the crime?

Crime is everywhere. Nigerians didn't bring it there. But the hunger APC caused pushes us to other places to commit those crime because we are desperate to feed and have cloth on.our backs. You're shameless for defending evil

Yes, the worst ran countries have more desperate people and the best have the least. With Somalia, I think you're correct.

Look at what the useless APC has done. Nigeria is now topping disgraceful lists. Little countries like Namibia are now slapping us around online . YouTubers come on our land to disgrace us because we are hungry and a joke of the world 😒😪

A disgraceful giant led by criminals and tribalists and genocide loving followers. Trump must come and lead this shythole out of its misery .

They are just collecting our visa fees

rickpat:
They are just collecting our visa fees

Yes,because they know we are desperate to flee the incompetent government that kills dreams of the young instead of empowering them. Apc is evil and so are the people who brought it to Aso rock

So after they left and went to countries flowing with milk and honey, APC still went to whisper in their ears to becomes criminals instead of doing the jobs they claim were not available in Nigeria.
Keep fuuling your self... Before the end of this year I go drop una passport for una. You people cannot be going about destroying the passport then blame the government while we hard working Nigerians out here suffer for your máádness

Why will we not be rejected when the usual suspects go around the globe distributing drugs and all manner of evil and then come around and act like saints when we are banned or rejected by locals ?. You people really make me sick

Stop defending rubbish bro. You know APC is a worthless government that gives the citizens nothing but misery. If Nigerians were not suffering we wouldn't be running to other countries in the first place. Yeah, we want a different passport from you and a new country where we will show our boldness ,industriousness and command respect in Africa and the globe leaving you bigots behind .

A tribalist like you is why Nigeria is where it is. Humiliated and disgraced by even small small countries like Namibia. We are now the ants of Africa because people like you are still thinking in primitive tribal ways instead of behaving like adults 🙄

No it's the drugs and cultism and fraud you people carry to their countries. Tribalism has nothing to do with why countries are rejecting the Nigerian passport at this rate . You people destroyed our image with all manner of crimes
