US Travel Ban: Nigeria Won’t React To Speculations - Garba Shehu by Islie: 9:13pm On Jan 22, 2020
The Presidency has said Nigeria will need to get proper briefing before reacting to the reported travel ban plan against the country by the United States of America’s government.

Reports emerged on Tuesday indicating that the President Donald Trump’s administration has plans to add seven countries across the world, including Nigeria, to the country’s travel ban list.

The report, which was credited to some American media, identified the countries to be affected in the new ban to include Tanzania, Sudan, Eritrea and Nigeria from Africa; Kyrgyzstan and Belarus from Eastern Europe and Myanmar from Asia.

However, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, in a terse message on Wednesday evening, said Nigeria will not react to such diplomatic development based on just media report.

According to him, the government would take its time to watch how the said development unfolds, take a study and analysis of its expected reach and effect before giving an official reaction.

Mallam Garba said: “Yes we have read the news that the Trump administration is planning to add a host of African, Asian and Eastern European countries to its travel restrictions list as reported by the U.S. media.

“We are not going to react to speculations. We urge you to wait for us to see what unfolds under the new policy, its scope, its reach, the implications and its consequences before we react,” he said.

The Nation gathered that the President of the United States Donald Trump during a recent media interview, had hinted of adding some countries to the restriction list of his country.

Trump, according to reports, did, however, not give clues to which countries might be affected in the new round of restriction.

I don't even understand how this travel ban works. It will be all over the places that a country doesn't welcome Nigerians, yet I have been to some of those countries without any hitch, and indeed got all privileges accorded a foreigner.

Infact, in the heat of South African Xenophobia, I was still sent to Johannesburg and was treated as a foreigner with all necessary privileges for 3 weeks. So how does this ban really work?

Though all my foreign trips are official, I have this feeling there is no country I want to go on my own that I can't go, ban or no ban.

Nothing to react here. God bless America. It's only when international communities begin to look into Nigeria matter that things can change.

Let's see whether Nigerians will rise up against the ruling class who care only for their families.

The Fulanis in their plan to conquer the whole Nigeria has brought us to this level. No Kindom last forever. Nigeria must be negotiated

Until you see the implications and consequences?

Really?

So in this case, they are not Shiite but muslims?

I thought Buhari wanted to wipe them because they are not muslims.

They way Igbos keep going forth and back is one of the most interesting things existing recently. cheesy

And how would Trump or the US differentiate between shiite and Sunnis on visa ban?

Shiite muslims can be assumed Iranian allies while bokoharam are obviously not shiites.

Neither can he segregate Visa policies between Nigerian Christians and muslims.. so he lumped us all together.

IF nothing change, Major General Mohammed Buharin will end up in The Hague, & spend his remaining days on earth in the prison.


Buharin should stop immediately his Islamization & jihadist agenda. He should stop the terrorizing and killings of Nigerians Christians under his watch. Enough is enough!

Major General Buharin, call your Northern Children to order.

No, is not related to fraud at all. It is because of one Ibrahim selling his suya in Sabon Gari who is not bothered about going to the States.

Keep deceiving yourselves.

So those 40 fraudsters were from China or Brazil.

Lol... shifting goal post.. cheesy

Let me get this... if we are no more on top5 (which according to you is new) because of Buhari, why then are we on the visa ban?... grin grin

Terrorism is the reason we are on that list, caused by the iranians shiites and bokoharam Sunnis since one must belong to either group.
