Reason Nigeria Was Added To Trump’s Restricted Travel List. by caringsce(m): 7:32am On Feb 01, 2020 |
I read different comments as to why we were added to the list, but most were flawed. I felt compelled to create this thread as to clear the general misconception that we were added because of Nigerians who travelled with NIV’s and decided to overstay. The recently published Entry/Exit Overstay Report by Homeland Security for Nonimmigrant Visitors admitted to the United States for business or pleasure via air and sea POEs for VWP(Excluding Canada and Mexico) shows of the 195,785 Nigerians that entered the US, 29,723 overstayed. Meaning 15.18% of Nigerians overstayed their Visits. At such figure, Countries like Burundi(21.52%), Chad (30.78%), Djibouti(44.67%), Eritrea(26.46%), Palau(20.59%), Syria(17.62%) and Yemen (27.92%) all recorded higher overstay rate than Nigeria. What then justifies Burundi, Chad, Djibouti and Palau not making the list? while Brazil with 36,289 far exceed Nigeria in Total Overstays still did not make the list. Trump, in a proclamation issued Friday, said the countries were chosen after an extensive evaluation that examined travel security and measures, and national security threats in dozens of countries; those that made the list were chosen from a recommendation that U.S. officials made in January. The Department of Homeland Security explained that Nigeria: Nigeria does not comply with the established identity-management and information-sharing criteria assessed by the performance metrics. Suspension of entry for Immigrants, except as Special Immigrants whose eligibility is based on having provided assistance to the U.S. Government. Officials with the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department who briefed New York Times reporters on the condition of anonymity said While Nigeria has partnered with the American military, the officials noted an “elevated risk and threat environment in the country,” when justifying the travel restrictions. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/family-based-immigrant-visas.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/trump-expands-long-standing-immigration-ban-to-include-six-more-countries-most-from-africa/2020/01/31/413e93ec-443e-11ea-aa6a-083d01b3ed18_story.html%3FoutputType%3Damp https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/cbp_-_fiscal_year_2018_entry_exit_overstay_report.pdf https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/31/us/politics/trump-travel-ban.amp.html 1 Like |

Shhhhhhhh!!! It's because, a group of deranged and uneducated nitwits protested over the killing of a terrorist and decided to disrespect the US flag..... And because, we harbor Boko Haram and use them to extort money from foreign bodies. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Your statistics is flawed... You used percentages of overstay in respect to the number of applicants particular to that nation only You should use population of overstay only, then you would understand better. What do I mean? At 15% population of Nigerians overstay is approximately 30,000 But at 30% population of chad overstay might be like 2500, With respect to the number applicants. In summary the number of overstay from Nigeria might be pretty high to them, forget percentages, our population itself dey high 1 Like |

The ban is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria in recent times. At least the ugly spectacle playing out daily at US embassy and consulate will end "sharp- sharp". Better countries dey and mumus dey go embassy to receive disgrace on top elusive US visa. |

Nigeria's disrespect all over the world (including USA) has nothing to do with overstay, it is simply credibility - Nigeria is simply not respected by anyone enough to treat it fairly! You could call it the most terrorist nation on earth or the most dirty and it will not be challenged by the government and citizens. It will just be business as usual! India rejected being called the Rape capital of the world, their excuse is that Nigeria (a country that never protests anything) should be given the title. Same with when some countries were called the poorest, they said it should be Nigeria! 1 Like |

caringsce: You are right. This video should provide more clarity for those who do not read to understand. This ban has nothing to do with security or visa overstays. That is just a smoke screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAr8ydlFTms |

I don't agree on these, instead of targeting the Nigerian people let the US target those in gov't who have failed to provide a simple unified identity management database....imagine a country with multiple identity schemes.....International passport, National population birth certificate, National identity card, Voters card, Bank verification Number , both temporary and permanent, then this new one called NIMC that will soon be abandoned again..... Our leaders knows wat to do yet plays dumb....I wept for this country |
