Dubai, UAE – E get as e be! United Arab Emirates don sharp sharp put visa block for nine countries dem. The nine countries wey we dey talk about na Bangladesh, Uganda, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Cameroon, Libya, Yemen, and Lebanon. Dis ban go take effect for 2026, and e go affect all those wey wan enter UAE for work and tourism.
As e be now, dem never confirm am officially, but na serious wahala for di citizens wey dey come from those places. No be say dem don block dem from traveling like say dem no fit waka or anything, but if you no get visa before, forget am! (Na wah, all those palava just dey make Nigerians dey pray hard). Existing visa holders no get wahala, dem go continue to dey enjoy di sweet life wey dem don build for UAE.
Why dem go do this kind thing? Well, some sources dey yan say na security matter wey dey worry dem. You sabi as e be? Plenty nations don suffer from bad vibes before. Dem dey fear say if dem allow everybody enter anyhow, wahala fit happen. E get as Dubai dey shine, and dem no wan make any corner spoil am.
Another kabashi wey people dey talk be say, e go fit be say di relationship wey UAE get with some of dem countries no too dey sweet. Some countries dey operate like dem no dey see eye to eye. (Maybe na because of football match wey dem no fit agree?). Na so UAE dey use di visa policy manage di wahala wey fit show face anywhere.
Plus, no forget say e get small small health issues wey dey possible from di leftover COVID-19 protocols. Dem want make sure say public health no suffer again like before, the kind way wey dem don dey clean up everything sharp sharp since di pandemic starts.

Dem dey fit face hard times to find new jobs, and na serious jeopardy dis go put for di pockets of many families, especially those wey dey hustle hard from afar.
