I received with sadness the policy of the government of the United States of America to place Nigeria on its travel ban list.

While I understand the reasons given by the Trump administration (the failure of the Muhammadu Buhari led administration to share information and to address issues of terrorism), the ban does not take into account the pro-American sentiments of the Nigerian public and the solidarity previous Nigerian administrations have had with the United States.

I urge the government of President Donald Trump to consider the history of US-Nigerian relationships. Nigeria was one of the few African nations that joined the US-led coalition during Operation Desert Storm between 1990-1991 when the United States championed the liberation of Kuwait.

The Trump administration may also consider the pivotal role Nigeria, in partnership with the US, played in bringing peace to Liberia, an American sphere of influence, that now enjoys democracy because Nigerian blood and money paved the way for peace in that nation.

Nigeria has also consistently voted in support of the United States and her allies at the United Nations and other multilateral world bodies. This is even as we are perhaps the biggest trading partner that the United States has in Africa, even where we had alternatives.

Nigerians love the United States and have been a major force for the positive development of that great nation: 77% of all Black doctors in the United States are Nigerians. Nigerians are also the most educated immigrant community in America bar none. Surely, the US stands to benefit if it allows open borders with a country like Nigeria that is able to provide skilled, hardworking and dedicated personnel in a two-way traffic.

The current Nigerian administration may have its deficiencies and deep faults, but the Nigeria people ought not to be punished for their inefficiencies.

Once again, I call on President Trump to consider adopting measures that individually target those in government who have failed in their duties, rather than target the entire Nigerian population.

Everything must be politicised...

Unfortunately for most people who intend to jakpa to the US, they don't have money to lobby their ways and join Saraki's lugage to Washington DC just like Atiku did in build up to the 2019 election, after many years of ban due to his numerous cases of corruption.

Are you high ...is it not bubari incompetency that lead to this rubbish ?

Don't you remember how APC acted between 2014 and 2015 ? Thats politicizing things

This is expression of concern

Nigeria is a terrorist country therefore deserve the ban . Moslems n people in far North do not like Americans evident in the last Moslem burning of USA flag

Hmmm only God knows Atiku plans for 2023

"While I understand the reasons given by the Trump administration (the failure of the Muhammadu Buhari led administration to share information and to address issues of terrorism)",

So now I can't travel to America again because of dulladinho.

E-diots supporting this dullard hope you are seeing that your God has become a global calamity and disaster

Mr reactor

Wailing thread for zombies

Funny enough, Pmb, his family and the people who are the reason for this ban, will still have easy entries to the US based on their fat bank accounts and offices, what an irony

why use foul language...don't quote me..

As 2023 draws nearer, who will smuggle Atiku to America in a suitcase now that Saraki no longer has diplomatic passport?

What do you expect when our Govt sympathizes with Boko Haram, Bandits, Kidnappers, and Killer herdmens (Miyetti Allah). No sane Country would want to associate with a failed Country.

Atikuchukwu the Cameroonian bisexual, you are mad. Your late father was mad. Your late grandfather was also mad. So, there is hereditary Madness in your generation.

Shebi you and your idiot friends in PDP have been calling the US, EU, UN, AU, OAU, ABU, OSUA, HIV, AIDS, e.t.c. to sanction Nigeria because you fools lost two consecutive elections back to back. Now, the sanctions are beginning to come in bits. Let's see who will suffer, either the Presidency or the senseless IPOB lazy youths that have been blindly supporting you.

Nnamdi Cownu can help out or maybe Goatluck Jonathan that is if Goatluck Jonathan does not port to APC before next election.

Buhari will just stay there as usual noni. He wouldn't sag anything. Well, what should one expect from a dullard who has nothing to offer after all... SMH!

Well said

In Mama Peace's voice:
Since I left this Aso Rock, it is smelling. There is God o, There is God oo

Trash, the ban must remain
If you don't want the ban to be lifted let's see your hands up

I concur with Atiku on these, instead of targeting the Nigerian people let the US target those in gov't who have failed to provide a simple unified identity management database....imagine a country with multiple identity schemes.....International passport, National population birth certificate, National identity card, Voters card, Bank verification Number , both temporary and permanent, then this new one called NIMC that will soon be abandoned again.....
Our leaders knows wat to do yet plays dumb....I wept for this country

This is wrong. ATIKU is not banned. Bishop OYEDEPO is not banned either. The Cabal's and their Cohorts are banned because they hold BUHARI in Ransome and prevent him from telling the Truth to NIGERIANS.

Hmm

I have nothing to say.
