I couldn't help but notice: After a sustained period of growth between 2011 and 2015, the number of Nigerian visitors to the US started to plateau in 2016 until the big drop-off last year. The growth in visitors slowed with recession after Buhari in 2015, then plateaued in 2016, before dropping. Trump didn't become president until January 2017, so how else would you explain the extreme change from growing, to the sudden stop in growth in 2015? Buhari's recession. Trump's policies and attitude also made things worse, as Nigerians started going to other countries, but I imagine the total number of Nigerians going abroad is probably not changed, just that US is less welcoming. This is from my own analysis of the data. 3 Likes

philip0906: It's true, you're right. I edited my comment earlier to reflect that since the US is less welcoming, Nigerians are going elsewhere. But that change in slope in 2015 says a lot about the recession in our economy, than about Trump's policies. Both are working in tandem, it would appear; see the graph from my original comment. Also painful to see: we basically gave the US economy $514 million (half a billion dollars). If only we could improve our schools so the money circulates here. ![]() 2 Likes |

nextstep:Yes I saw the graph. But I assume it's specific to the USA and doesn't factor migration to other countries. So a dip in migration to the USA might mean an upsurge in migration to other countries (Canada, Australia etc). If that is the case, we can't attribute it to "the recession". 2 Likes |

philip0906: The dip in 2018, absolutely, I agree we can attribute it to upsurge to other countries. The flatline in growth, in 2015, coincides with the recession - especially since there was no policy change by the US until 2018. 1 Like |

Nigerians should stay put in their country. If you can survive Nigeria to raise enough money to travel to USA, then you don't need to leave Nigeria. 5 Likes |

Basher8583:Just for better prospects. If I were desperate, I would have some 10, 9 years ago, but I feel it is the right time to give it a try just for the future. Nigeria may turn out good, but before then, I need something better. If you can't offer me something good, won't I go somewhere else? There are a lot of folks out there with their postgraduate degrees that are walking the streets. Sorry, if God says I will be out there, I will be. Migration is good. Give it a try if you have the ability. 4 Likes |

itsme01: Ironically the above stats & survey is limited to the number of people who were success at getting a visa and then traveling to the US. Nigerians are still investing huge money in applying for visa, only to get denied. I think the revenue from visa application will see an uptick. At least on a single day, an average Nigerian have a better odd at getting a US visa than winning a jackpot at Naijabet, but despite the odds, people still play Naijabet hoping that, “their fortune would be different” than that of others....same with mindset is taken into visa applications. |

itsme01: Uncle, my point in my post is, Nigerians should also tell how expensive a ticket to the Burj Khalifa or Safari Tours are and how the sun there is something else. If for instance I want to go, I will want to experience such things not to shop cos from the wares I have seen bought in Dubai and the pics taken or videos made in some shops in Dubai, for the most part, Dubai does me like Balogun market and Aba market put together. So the tax free haven that it is, is of no use to me. Pls note I am not down grading them, I just think as long as shopping goes, what I want and what I can afford in Dubai, is available here and at a lower price. 4 Likes |
