Omo, na wah o! Naija people, make una shine una eyes well well, because goment for America don drop new plan wey fit affect plenty people from 75 countries, including wey sabi country, Nigeria! As e be, dem don suspend all immigrant visa processing, meaning no new visa for many of our paddy paddy abroad anytime soon!
According to wetin dem talk from State Department, dem go take dis break starting from January 21, and e go last until dem finish wetin dem dey do for their review. Dis review, no be small matter, as na im go discuss how dem dey screen people wey wan enter their country.
Wetin dey happen? Dem don dey fear say some people fit come enter America come dey depend on welfare and public assistance, and dem wan make sure say only people wey fit stand on their own go fit enter. If you dey wonder who go suffer for dis matter, e fit reach anybody wey get dreams of moving to America from those 75 countries wey dem don mention, and initially no be small thing wey dem emergency dey face.
Dem don even talk say dem fit turn down applications based on plenty factors, like whether the person sabi English well, how dem dey manage their finances, and even health issues. Na all of dis dey make the matter very serious. People wey dey plan to travel go America for school, work, or to reunite with family fit dey feel the hot soup now.
Plenty of the countries wey dey on the list na from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, but the ones wey dey hot now na from places like Somalia, Iran, Iraq, and of course, our dear Nigeria. Dis go make am hard for those wey dey plan their American dream, abi how you wan take enter the land of opportunity now?
And abeg, no go forget say, the fear don increase since one serious fraud matter wey happen for Minnesota wey involve some people wey dem dey believe say na Somali national. All of dis don make American officials dey tighten their security and screening.
As e be now, we dey watch as dem dey run the review, but one thing sure be say, many people go dey affected, whether dem like am or not. E be like say naija bros and sis go need to rethink how dem wan take enter America if dem plan to try again after dis review don end. Hmmm!
