THE US VISA LOTTERY AND NIGERIA.

Nigeria and seventeen other nations have been barred from further participating in the US visa lottery reason been that they have exhausted their share of the quota initially allocated to them. Nigeria seem to be the only African country on this list on close observation! Though not taking anything from the US afterall it was their creation and they had objectives for introducing the visa lottery, would it be out of place to suggest that it is their way of getting back at Nigeria for not supporting same sex marriage which they are against? If u ask me it is a case of use and dump, having maximised the potentials of Nigerians to develop their economy they dont want anymore of Nigerians especially through the lottery. I think it is a wake up call for the Nigerian government to begin to better the lot of Nigerians by creating an enabling environment in the area of entrepreneurial development that will reduce the hydra headed unemployment situation. They should endeavour to make things work in this country! I do not see why Nigerians should rush into what can be termed modern slavery if what they crave to enjoy overseas is right here at their door steps. This country is so blessed with human and natural resources but has been hampered by a debilitating level of corruption which is not helped by government insincerity in dealing with it. Honestly, we can't continue like this as a nation! I will not be surprised if after now countries of little reckoning would come up with one flimsy condition or the other to deter nigerians from gaining access to their to the country. Ah! Lets be wise.

The security challenge posed by islamic sect called boko haram leaves much to be desired. They have succeeded in unleashing their weapons of mass destruction leaving countless number of deaths on its trail and they dont seem satisfied just yet! The question is has this present government run out of ideas in dealing with the menace posed by boko haram? Especially now that the purported amnesty option seem to have been rejected. They are a terrorist group if we must call a spade what it is. They need a more sophisticated approach to deal not with this conservative approach the nigerian government is using. I think the government should involve the US, and UK or their allies in dealing with this nightmare. At least they have had to deal with more sophisticated terror groups than boko haram. The Nigerian government needs external help as it is obviously helpless in safe guarding the lives of Nigerians. Please we want no more deaths!
