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.

See them doing nothing as usual.....this clows are only after their pockets what ever happens to this country they don't care

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.

“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.

Simplyleo:

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.

Esseite:


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

Simplyleo:

So you know the difference better than Trumpchuku?

Very interesting.

Esseite:


Are bokoharam shiites?.... both sects have their issues.. they are the reason for the Visa ban.

Simplyleo:

But at least Trumpchuku knows the difference between Emeka and Ibrahim.

Or you think he doesn't have the list of the famous 40 fraudsters?

Esseite:


You think fraud is the reason for the ban?... and Mexico didn't get such ban aswell?...

Simplyleo:

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.

Esseite:


Nigeria is not even on the list of first five world scammers moreover Nigerian fraud is not new, why the Visa ban now?

Simplyleo:

So those 40 fraudsters were from China or Brazil.

Again, for the purpose of this, Nigeria is not topping the list of criminals again under tyrant Buhari?

Another wonder.

Keep going forth and back.
