Nigerian football fans planning travel to the United States to watch the World Cup may not realise their ambition


Nigerian football fans planning travel to the United States to watch the World Cup may not realise their ambition following the travel ban imposed by the Donald Trump administration on some African countries.

According to dailystar.co.uk, a leaked memo, yesterday, revealed that President Donald Trump wants to slam the brakes on all visa processing for 75 countries, including Nigeria. The US State Department’s shock move is aimed at cracking down on immigrants suspected of wanting to claim public benefits.

The report adds that with Trump’s administration issuing a new directive that could block clinically obese foreigners from getting US visas, America has become a no-go zone for many.

Spokesperson Tommy Piggott said: “The State Department will use its long-standing authority to deem ineligible potential immigrants who would become a public charge on the United States and exploit the generosity of the American people.

“Immigration from these 75 countries will be paused while the State Department reassess immigration processing procedures to prevent the entry of foreign nationals who would take welfare and public benefits.”

    Why are people wasting time to get into uncertainty? Already over 18,000 World Cup tickets have been cancelled by fans, mostly from Europe. And the cancellations are increasing by the day.

  3. You guys can do better Guardian Nigeria . It doesn’t stop any country of watching the world Cup. Watching the World Cup can be applied through the tourist Visa option. You guys needs to know what you need to post.

  4. President Donald J. Trump is doing it for the good of Americans and the benefit of American people. American benefit should be for American people. Other countries should create benefit for their people who shouldn’t be wishing to tap from the generosity of American people.

  5. Including Christ1ans !

  6. I hope the ban is only on Muslims not Christians🤣🤣🤣

  7. They’ll move the games to Mexico/Canada
