Na only masses go dey bear the brunt of bad governance every time

ojaysam25:
They should retaliate by banning them from entering our country too na...����

BuddhaPalm:
He doesn't hate you.

His grouse is that many Nigerians overstaye their visas.

Wizzz1:
I have already un followed Trump on Twitter, can't love someone who hates me.

GermanMelania:
Okay ae get it. You want to emigrate. There are other countries o. Why you no look those ones?
Ns person wey no get money these days de emigrate. People who are okay are fine with just visiting. A lot of people are also coming back to naija. To start businesses. For dignity. Just to be close to home
But then thry are doing well.
If poverty is wahalaing you about emigrate o.
But at the end people are fleeinh poverty not nigeria. Yet.
I wholeheartedly believe this ban isnt about overstaying it is abour the brewing nothern agression. And maybe they know something we font kno2 yet. That the whole nigeria is about to deteriorate so they want to ensure naija no go flee and to limit the refugees they will take
2 this anotekun thing is showing that naija has porous borders. Anyone can get peoer work to become a nigerian on paper.

TerraMessorem:
when they see our leaders, in those meetings,
if you look closely enough, you can see them supressing laughter
they have zero respect for the president and the other ones
their thinking when they see our leaders is, what does he want now
not what does nigeria want.

adonainana:
I dont think you are a normal human being cos i cant see which elephant argument you have made.

A govt just banned citizens of another country from ever entering his country and you are saying there are no American investment in nigeria Deliotte, HC Packard,etc You be big slowpoke

bluefilm:
For your mind.

You think say you dey important at all?

Abeg just rejoice that it's only travel ban dem give una.

Becos if dem do una wetin dem do Iran, na sand una go dey chop.

You wan make una boycott american products abi?

You sabi say ALL .com websites are owned by America?

Which means even this Nairaland can be seized from Oga Seun if America wants to...

Abeg just focus your boycott for your mates wey dey west africa make pesin hear word, biko.

GermanMelania:
Bros you go soon get heart attack o.
Calm down. You are fighting strangers online for diagreeing with you. Yet you can't articulate the issue
If America deny you calada de. Don't give up . You can still make a good life in naija. Don't spend 21 years of your life on a molue in new yorl city

Larryfest:
So Canada and Nigeria dey the same level right Our federal government better start prostrating to them so they can have mercy on Nigeria because the way things are going so many countries will still ban us.

Onlyonebuhari:
You have respect for you fatherland, you had better gather your household to go and prostrate for them. We do not see ourselves cheap.

GermanMelania:
Only if everyone with kids there will recall their kids. Apoarently nigetian students spend 518 million dollars a year on school in america.
We buy so many things at retail level when visiting thar is counted as American bought.
From food to take back home clothes electronics.
When nigeriand in America send money to nigeria America counts it as remittence. When a lot of it is commerce. Go on instagram
Folk in new jersey will be ordering ogobono from surulere to be shipped to jersey
Orders for agbalumo sef de. Cray fish yam snail all shipped from naija to u.s so all that money no be remittance
Nigeriand that can afford to boycott and go to other countries should. But let us not pretend that traveling isnt importsnt to us a people. There arent a lot of out of work fun or shopping and things like that to do. We save up and enjoy our vacations so much so Americans are convinced we stole the money we saved for s year to come spend there in.

imam07:
Who enslaved Africans? Abi u enslaved yourself. What we are doing to ourselves presently, is it not worse than what the Europe did to us. You better stop blaming them for our own fault. Nigerians fought for independence since 1960,still we are still crawling. You blame them or u blame yourself.

Martinelli35:
Any opportunity to insult Bihari,people will use it.....The chief reason they banned immigration from Nigeria is because of our huge Islamic presence foisted by the extremists/terrorists,and the fact that Nigerians who go there on temporary visas end up staying permanently in an illegal manner.the latter reason shows that we are our own problem,not buhari.or is it Buhari that overstayed his visa?.let's be rational and reasonable.And we all know trump would find any reason to stop immigration totally.How about the Nigerian fraudsters making negative names and bringing disrepute to Nigeria,blame those fuckers first.buhari ain't the problem

leokid866:
Lol....hope you realise that the ban is on issuance of visas that can lead to permanent residency.....they will still give you visas to visit as a tourists and come to school there.....please if you are not sure about the complete story I suggest you Google it and stop generalizing.

Alvin212:
Tell buhari to stop wasting niger delta oil money

Traveling to the UK

leokid866:
Okay....
Ps are you saying no Nigerian has traveled to america since the ban was announced, or that no Nigerian will step foot in america again while trump is president? Just need to clarify...

leokid866:
Actually most Nigerians can and use/buy such products daily....despite bing the poverty capital of the world Nigeria has a strong market setting that has been defying analytics since the early 90's. The major reason we are poverty capital of the world is because a large set of the population live below the dollar standard per day....but that is majorly in the north because let's face it that's where we have the largest population size in Nigeria with little development to support their size.....Nigerians actually have a lot of money under the bed....spending it lavishly is hard for Nigerians but we do spend enough to keep those companies Interested in our Markets. Nigerians spend about 300billion year on year shopping from abroad.

pacespot:
I think this ban is a good thing in disguise for Nigeria, what is the marginal benefits of Nigerians traveling to America to Nigerian economy? The privileged Nigerians traveling to America are taking their manpower and skills and money to the country. No one should castigate Nigerian president for this, Trump is known for his irrational foreign policy, all he cares about is bringing money to America, no international diplomacy of any sort. Imagine Trump's trade secretary Will Brow saying the current coronavirus in China is a good thing for America because it will help bring more jobs to American economy, how nihilistic can people be because of economic gains? Nigerians should sit their asses up and start working together for common good, and stop blaming government for everything. China, even despite a communist state it is, is not where China is today because of Chinese government but for the commitment and contribution of each Chinese people to their country. This "it is not my business" attitude by Nigerians will not take Nigeria anywhere, now it is your business when your country is banned from entering the USA. This is an opportunity for self reflection for Nigerians to sit back and ask the question why they think it is only by traveling out of the country they can achieve a good life for themselves. Then they can start seeing where the problem is coming from and owning up for their country downfall and not putting the blame on government.

CastingCrowns:

FemiMaduka:
Nairaland is a microcosm of Nigeria; stark ignorance and hypocrisy are deeply entrenched. You'd be surprised to find out that a good number of the guys that spill garbage are actually grown-ups—some are even married with families. Imagine how a family headed by a very foolish man would fare!

Igboland cuts across areas designated as SE and SS (with some portions actually falling within the NC). No—and I mean NO—geopolitical zone is homogenous. There are Ijaw people native to the SW (Ondo); there are Igala people native to the SE (Anambra and Enugu)...same for the other four geopolitical zones. None is homogenous.

Now I'd employ an analogy: how would it sit if Dino Melaye, a Yorubaman from the NC (Kogi), is appointed to represent the SW? Definitely it would be an aberration. That is exactly the point of the Op.

P.S.: I think IGNORANCE is actually the chain holding Africa down today.

NaijirianKing:
Igbo should severely limit their investments outside of the SE. We should look to developing cities within the region and invest.

Here are some views of Ngozika Estates Phase Awka. A city on the rise, we should develop our place and make it the envy of the nation.

The good news is that we have plenty of room for high quality investments, business, residential and otherwise.
