Provide evidence of the spike.

I have a friend that has been in the UK illegally since 2009.

I have friend that absconded with his family in the states since 2014.

When Peter and Paul were celebrating the birth of their kids in the states what year was it?

Continue ignoring the obvious and giving random examples of individuals. Of course, people have been emigrating illegally since forver, duh. An interview with the Canadian embassy on channels tv weeks ago confirmed how emigration rates has spiked, not to mention US.

I know a lot of you can't bear any criticism of your master, but you will all bear the consequences eventually so please continue.

Will you keep kwayet.

Restricting Nigerians from travelling to USA is a BIG deal. A very big one. Dont limit it by calling it "...a mere immigration policy".

It is another indication of how low Nigeria has fallen.

I know Trump is crazy. But there are some countries that he would not have done this with. Not this easily. Moreover, the excuse he would give is the terrible security situation in todays Nigeria with Boko haram, ISWAP and herdsmen/bandits killing indiscriminately.

The security situation directly reflects on the President, who is C-inC
then it's high time we hold our government accountable for it not on social media

Even when you clearly see the reason as detailed below in the article that is about people violating there Visa terms.

"United States government official said the administration was adding Nigeria and Tanzania to the list because of the number of people who come from the African countries on a visa and end up illegally staying in the United States. "

You people always fail to allow obvious facts prevail....Tell your desperate folks evading proper documentation and illegally staying pass there visa to have sense.
If Nigerian government was able to create an enabling environment for business to thrive why will they live their country.
They left Nigeria for a greener pasture . Do you hear that south Africa's travel? No because the government is up and doing unlike the corpse we have as president.

When Nigeria is being put in the same class with countries like Eritrea, Sudan, Tanzania, Kyrgyzstan and Myanmar shows the lowest point Nigeri has gotten, no thanks to those at the helm of affairs.
Does Buhari have any foreign policy? What is Buhari's foreign policy since he came onboard?
What diplomatic strategy does he have to set this country on the path of greatness?
The problem is not being banned by USA, the bigger issue is how the foreign investors and international community will see Nigeria.
Imagine being placed with such 'failed' countries where international investors hardly go to.
Anyway, let the morons that support politicians especially Buhari enjoy their new status in this categorization.

It was not a nazi rally. It was a rally of Republicans and nazi attended

Just like you can have a civil rights movement and black Panthers attend

Or a dem rally and antifa show up.

Or a security rally and amotekun show up

Your brain only responds to arguments you preprogrammed it to want to hear and coming from someone who claims to be learned, that's not a vibe

You just do not get it do you?

The Charlottesville and the white supremacist rally that shocked that town and the wide world beyond remains a stain on Trump. It was bad enough that a motley mob of tiki torch-bearing bigots marched under Confederate flags. But then a car plowed through a crowd of counter protesters, and Heather Heyer, a 32 year old waitress and paralegal, was killed.


In the moment of airless shock that came after, we Americans instinctively turned to the president to steel our resolve, speak our overflowing hearts, help us make sense of a senseless thing. That’s what Obama would have done, what Clinton or the Bushes would have done. But this time, the president was Donald Trump, and he did something else.

First, he pinned blame on “many sides.” Two days later, with all the sincerity of a bad boy forced to apologize for tormenting his sister, he read prepared remarks acknowledging that white supremacy is wrong. The next day, he reversed his reversal, saying of the white supremacists and those who came to oppose them, that there were “very fine people on both sides.”

It was an act of moral equivocation. How can you call the deliberate killers of a hard working American who was Anti Trump FINE PEOPLE?

They were Neo Nazis, Racists, White Supremacists but to Trump they are fine people

They are a bunch of fools. You can see them all over this thread protecting Buhari rather than admitting his clear FAILURE. Insecurity is at an all high and an idiot is asking for proof of spike of emigration.

Excuses.

One day you guys would realise your actions actually motivates the unenabling environment.

Your leaders come from your fold and not from another planet.

If you can't create toys for your kid's use how would you create a drone for professional use?

Country that has millions of graduates of chemistry yet not a single one extracts the essence of plants to make fragrances. Yet go to the night club this night and watch how they burn thousands of dollars at one sitting on champagne with flares.

The blame is on senseless and useless successive nigerian "leaders".

The military armed robbers that robbed the country dry.

Presently apc government is nonsense confused government.
Many nigerians are desperate to run away from the destroyed nigeria.

For some funny reason I love this. We closed our borders too but do not want others to close theirs against us. What hypocrisy

This is an opportunity for us to look inwards and develop the country, not taking flight at the slightest sign of trouble

Also look at the brighter side:

Nigeria can potentially fight back on this. We can restrict all US related businesses here as well as stop cooperating against the fight for crimes especially cyber crimes. Trust me this would see this ban lifted within a month as the benefit of our cooperation to the US far outweigh whatever they stand to gain from this travel ban

It may be noted that while non immigrant visas are not affected the reality on ground is that 90% of non immigrant visas are refused to Nigerian applicants, potentially meaning a ban of some sorts for that category also exists

The US has the right to protect their country. However if this is managed well, Nigeria can emerge from this stronger

You lie if you think Nigeria has any leverage in any of this. We cannot stop co-operating in the fight against cybercrimes. Our banking industry would simply be blacklisted from the dollar system.

Nigerians don't understand how powerless this country is. Take a look at the attached chart and see how poor the economy of Nigeria is relative to any first world country.
