The United States Embassy in Nigeria has quietly begun revoking valid visas previously issued to Nigerian citizens, leaving professionals, entrepreneurs, frequent travellers, and families stranded with disrupted plans and mounting costs.

Several affected individuals have confirmed receiving official letters from the embassy in recent weeks, instructing them to submit their passports at the consulate in Lagos or Abuja. Upon submission, their visas were summarily cancelled without explanation.

The cancellation notices, citing Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 41.122, vaguely stated that “new information became available after the visa was issued,” but provided no details, evidence, or avenues for appeal.

Among those impacted are a prominent journalist, the head of a federal government agency scheduled to deliver an international address, and an Abuja-based entrepreneur with a spotless travel record.

Others include professionals and frequent travellers who rely on visas for education, family reunions, medical treatment, and critical business engagements.

Several were forced to cancel overseas trips at short notice, refund tickets, and explain to partners why they could no longer attend important meetings.

In some cases, travellers only discovered the cancellations at airports and boarding gates, with a few briefly detained by immigration officials before being turned back.

Those affected insist they have never overstayed visas, violated immigration rules, or raised security concerns. The sudden revocations have therefore sparked growing fears of a quiet but targetted tightening of U.S. visa policy against Nigerians.

Analysts point to longstanding scrutiny of applicants from high-migration countries, with Nigeria often singled out.

Policy documents from previous U.S. administrations encouraged consular officers to apply heightened review standards to certain nationalities, raising concerns that the current wave of cancellations may be a continuation of that practice.

The development has drawn calls for urgent intervention by the Nigerian government.

Commentators argue that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should immediately lodge a formal protest and demand clarity from the American government, insisting that Nigerians who abide by immigration rules deserve transparency and fairness in their treatment.

The cancellations have already inflicted significant personal and financial losses. Careers and academic programmes have been disrupted, medical appointments missed, families separated, and international business opportunities lost.

Despite the gravity of the situation, neither the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria nor Nigerian authorities have issued a public statement addressing the wave of cancellations, leaving affected citizens in limbo.

Yes, I think so, some days I walked for 4 hours and on some crazy days 6 hours.

dreamxhaser:
Omo! That’s massive bro.

Going by my research, you should be among top 1% of People

They always have something to say when things of lesser magnitude than this happened in other regions or states outside of south east. Why the mortuary silence? Peter Obi, the cheif mourner of Nigeria would have tweeted five times already, is he suffering from selective amnesia?

Amudeneogu:
Please what concern Peter Obi and Oby Ezekwsiri in this case, I hate nonsense please.

I have trekked 1915 km in last 5 months, not even upto 5 months more like 4 months and some days. 2.5 million steps, average of 16,982 steps per day. burnt 144,202kcal or equivalent of 2884 eggs.

dreamxhaser:
OP see mine

And I am a freelancer, so I work from home.

What I do is, go out very early in the morning let’s say around 7AM, and stroll around while listening to music. Then around 6pm I do same thing.

I also do pushups at home. I suffered anxiety in the past and I believe treating was one of the things that helped me.

Like the Mondays sit at home going on in iboland is nothing to worry about.

Racoon:
No sane person needs anybody to tells him or her that fearful reality

Makes no difference, if Peter runs or not Kwankwaso is decamping to APC next tomorrow.

danijesus:
. Oga! If Peter obi runs independently he will be thoroughly RIGGED out of the election,his best bet is to join hands with Atiku...this is not America,this is Nigeria!

Go and pay for private medical care, documentations or not doesn't give you the right to invade and overcrowd their public facilities.

Benniemannz:
So stopping documented women and children plus elderly sick people from accessing health care facilities is justified? Are you sure you're okay because you don't sound so at all. What has overdo got to do with this now? Access to health care or someone getting sick is now overdoing

As a nigerian, I support this policy. You can't and overcrowd a palce and expect the aboriginals to remain quiet. South Africa, take control of your country and chase everyone out. You see how we have been crying in south west nigerian? We have been invaded by same ungrateful economic refugees.

The bloomberg's author of that worthless article is a known virulent obingo.

Dynamicboss:
IMF, Bloomberg and other international financial organization only come up with vague economic projections that further hinder the growth of a country. The same IMF roasted Nigeria to float Naira but they didn’t know that Nigeria’s economy has many demons such that at the nick of any flaws, people will take advantage and destroy it just to favor themselves. It requires a different and stringent approach to handle Nigeria economy

Isreal is mouthing too much, just get it done already? Enough of all these sabre-rattling.

I thought they destroyed all Iranian missiles and drones? So, what are they retaliating for? Except if there is something they are not saying.

Change to what? To LP? No one is buying into your biafran scam. Anyone forcing you to live in Lagos?

adamusuleiman1:
We Northerners no the ones that insult us. You guys should keep sharing pictures of northerners and cows drinking from the same stream in social media. We are used to the insults.

USA is finished, according to brainless obicunts.

What do you expect from that brainless 'yes daddy's fool? Someone with a room temperature IQ, a borderline retard? The fool kept mute on the wanton campaign fund embezzled in his losers party, yet the effeminate toad is everywhere.

Ttalk:
Is this how you reason in your village, imagine a whole presidential candidate cant substantiate a rumour and prove the authenticity of the allegation before jumping to social media to blab.

Whoever advised Peter Obi to be acting in this manner must have been his frenemy, else all presidential candidates that lost in the last election are back to drawing board except this jobless fool, jumping on every issues that is beyond his retarded mental capacity.
So, let me guess, this fool thinks acting this way will make people vote for him come 2027? What type of stupidity is this? This ipob lapdog should rest

Fulani masters? You must be laughing at your sorry self. You think your cheap old tired Fulani lines hasn't expired? Nah, you can try that on the Edos or Rivers peeps

We know our enemies and they are not Fulanis but those ones that constantly wish evil on us.

In 25 years of the current democratic settings, A Yoruba man was the president for 8 years, A vice president for 8 years and President Tinubu is going for another 8 years while your tribesmen haven't become a mere SFG! Look into the mirror to see a typical Fulani slave and a 3rd class citizen.

Your cheap manipulative ipob driven emotional rubbish won't work. Fool

esnbrutality:
IGBOs didn't kill your OBAs your FULANI friends and masters did.

Slytiger:
You say wetin. 😂😂😂

Ps the girl in that picture is a lesbian too.

Just look at how ugly that obi son is? Face like mashed potato.

What baffles me the most is how they carefully gaslight people into buying their Biafra agenda guise as Peter Obi. The Pandora thief is not even in the league of Sanwo-olu.
Peter Gringory Obi is not among the best 100 governors that ruled in Nigeria from 1999.

Dsimmer:
Peter Obi should go make his state great first before spewing gibberish. As if we've forgotten the fact that Peter Obi, the Pandora was abysmal as a governor. Heck, Obi was an accomplice to Madueke's looting at the federal. As for chinedu Rhodes, Obi should go make him the next governor of one of the Southeast states.

Typical of you clowns to ne clever by half, we know our enemies and are not Fulanis.

esnbrutality:
Fasorantis daughter was killed by FULANi Herdsmen.

The clown used it as political leverage to bait IGBOs, by asking where are the cows

The same clown was quiet when two OBAs from his region were brutally murdered .

The same clown was deaf when same murderers bombed IBADAN


I now ask ...

Who sincerely is the worthless clown?

Which Alex Otti are you talking about? Alex Otti above Sanwo-olu? You must be having a laugh. A single project executed by Sanwo-olu is bigger than what all 5 southeastern governors have done combined including the fraud called Peter Gringory Obi.

Who be Alex Otti? ? You guys really have affinity with losers.

Eriokanmi:
The governors working in Nigeria today are just 3.

1- Seyi Makinde

2- Alex Otti

3- Sanwoolu (though his performance is below expectations, given the huge resources at our disposal)

The rest are just hibernating

America is finished, according to brainless obicunts.

From what was said on the video, he was accused of shooting someone unprovoked and they are demanding to know why he had to shoot the innocent fellow which is their brethren.
But you see countless mongreals on this thread ignorantly writing rubbish about things they know nothing about. sucks to be an obicunt

Obi-dients are the dumbest people alive, stop wasting time on them.

Ghostagain:
Egypt doesn't support Ukraine with weapons.
Where are you getting this.
