The popular US Visa Lottery via which many Africans have found their way into the United States of America has come to an end for Nigerians…
The West African country together with other nations have been taken off the scheme—meaning, citizens from these countries cannot participate in the lottery.
According to the US Department of State, over 50,000 Nigerians migrated to the United States in the last 5 years and that ‘seems to be enough’ for them.
According to Channelstv.com;
The United States’ Diversity Visa Lottery program will no longer be open to Nigerians, the U.S. Department of State has said.
A statement released by the Department on Sunday, listed Nigeria as one of the countries barred from participating in the upcoming DV-2015
According to the statement, the disqualification from the program is because “more than 50,000 natives of these countries immigrated to the United States in the previous five years.”
“For DV-2015, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply, because more than 50,000 natives of these countries immigrated to the United States in the previous five years: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories,and Vietnam”.
It added that “Changes in eligibility this year: For DV-2015, natives of Nigeria are no longer eligible”. However, since entries are based on country of birth, Nigerians born in eligible countries can still apply.
Many other African countries, however, remain eligible to participate in the program.
The department listed African countries that are eligible for the DV-2015 to include people from Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cote D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Djibouti, Egypt*, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger,Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Seychelles and Sierra Leone.
Entries for the DV-2015 opens on October 1 and closes on November 2.

@Gentlejak, apologise for what? For calling them animals. They claim to be a rich country right but in 5 years 50, 000 of them have traveled to the state for what? Bunch of animals
Am not surprise. They are everywhere and are the most highly populated among other Aficans in a foreign country. I think they dislike their own country 😀

Praise The Lord! It shd hv happened long ago. The criminal activities are toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chocking, aaba!
Wetin dey usa weh nor dey naija? Shey na natural resource, human resources or wetin.Am very happy for this. Let naija people stay in their country and make money. Let poor countries like ghana go find money from usa…usa visa lottery or not, NAIJA still dey make their money. Richest people in africa na frm Naija,both men and women, they never went to the US to make their money. Am so happy for this atleast our human resources wont be wasting in the US.

Good move nigerians rest
Let poor countries go
hahahaha its hard for naija people ooo, wherever you dey, you are blacklisted, lmao..change your ways. American people don tire for your fraudulent 419 behinds.
Let poor countries like ghana, mali, niger and the rest go abeg… Countries like Nigeria, Uk, South Africa, Brazil etc are too matured enough for all this lottery trash. Africa billionaire like dangote, adenuga, jim ovia, otedola,alakija, all made their money in naija. So am not pissed off over this lottery trash.
@Pidgin nigga, @niilexis: and I guess your brain is functioning well are you that mad huh? Nigeriafou, Monfa mu gyimii εnso ha koraa. And take this mumu with you
@Oheneba Miyagi,
I wonder why Nigerians belittles better food like kenke compared to gari. Paupers n high sch students eat gari in Ghana. If any Ghanaian eats gari once a week, then it means the person is poor. We call kenke ‘ dorkunu’ but the British gave it an English name ‘kenke’ because they love it. What is gari’s English name? None. Best food for the rich in Nigeria is gari n hard meats soup or stew n that’s supposed to be food? I don’t blame them. Cyber fraud, blood money, having kids with poor British n American women, having kids by them, n finally empty their bank accounts n running back to Nigeria claiming to be reach after hard work. Doing 419 with Ghanaian names in ghana putting our country at risk after we hv accepted them us one of ours. Go n see how they treat our ple in their country…sad. CAN 2008 they killed more than 20 Ghanaian in their county after jubilating that ghana has scored Nigerian 2-1. N the bodies were brought to the Ghanaian gov’t to bury. Those who were not identified we’re given mass burial. But when ghana scores nigeria, we see them jubilate n leave them to hv their fun in our country making them feel @ home. animals like Nigerians are only human in appearance. Their hearts, brains n everything are wolves. Stupid lazy Ghanaian girls who give themselves to them in ghana during their cyber fraud journey only get impregnated n left behind. And then these same Nigerian guys parade about singing ‘Ghanaian girls are cheap, they can be bought with fried rice” but its all good cuz they get they foolish lazy ones not the worth it ones.
@Say,
We help them wen we see them stranded with no job n no better place to stay. Some of their own Nigerian friends shun them n pretends not to know them in their struggling days in GH. I can tell before God n man that my mom n I hv helped a lot of them, with money food, clothes etc just keep them ok till get on their feet n we take nothing in return b’coz we thought that as human beings we are all’ one. U don not know where u may be someday n who may help u tomorrow. They make it, go to their countries n forget abt us but we never stopped having compassion on them wen u see them starving, cos we do it for God n not for man. Hate to hear the truth about their own behavior n wants to belittle GH claiming to be richer n all that. Wise saying; a good name is better than riches. They need to change their ways and be more appreciative than painting themselves black everywhere they go (not MTN coz MTN is Yellow)
@Say, well spoken
@Oheneba Miyagi, you are the biggest fool 4 dat useless comment of yours. How do you expect me to understand that fucking comment of yours when am not a kenke eater…… Anuofia.
@Pidgin nigga, it means CTFU and your not welcome here Onye ime ezi
y’all got time,, ain’t nobody got tyme 4 that,, f u c k 9ja. you guy use juju 4 money shaii nawaaa
@kofienock, lmao, Juju you said? If juju were to be money making machine, The richest men in the world should have emerged from ghana. The fact is that we are hardworking both our men and women, we are making it while you guys are here making all sort of comments of Naija.
LMAO at the “Let poor countries go ” comment. Ahahah you claim to be rich yet still u are the most populated african country in the US & UK. Who u tryna deceive ? Yeah u got da Dangotes, Adenugas & what not, yet still u are a third world country ? Keep up with your delusion while the few elitists enjoy their money ok? I just can’t fathom this analogy of Nigerians.. ok certain Nigerians. I surely hope its not all em that think this way.
@AyyElayy,
we have the largest middle class in africa,you dumb ghanian.
Everyday,thousands of poor Nigerians jump into middle class status,while a significant portion of the middle class jump into wealthy status creating the likes of dangote,adenuga and co.
We’re already leaving 3rd world category.
@Solomon, yeah yeah here comes the smartest nigerian alive. Everyday thousands of nigerians jump into the middle class whilst Ghanaians just sit there N swallow air right? Yeah u got the numbers but that is all. Ghana got the quality. Which country had the fastest growin economyg in the WORLD in 2011? What is your per capita income ? Lol just google to feed your intelligence cos your ignorance seems to be taking over. Peace
it’s sad the way @miyagi insults nigerians at any given chance,disgusting i must say,its so so unfair insulting a whole country for no just cause’and its a big shame a lot of peeps here find it funny…sad really.
@AyyElayy, Why wont your per capital income be much when u guys are just few in population. Lagos population alone is almost 20million and Nigeria has 36 states, You guys are just 27million or so, while out of our 160million population about 50million(more than ur population) are in the wealthy class while 30million plus are in the middle class , then the rest can be classified as the poor due to the high rate of corruption in the country. Nigeria is the 3rd wealthiest country in Africa in terms of GDP. You are talking of per capital income? USA is not in the top ten list in terms of per capital income. Go research and stop talking nonesence. Yes, you hear in news that the population of the poor in Nigeria is much, but the population of the rich and middle class in Nigeria is times three of your total population. Listen out of your 27million population or so, not all are wealthy or in middle class….stop talking trash abeg
How many megawatt of electricity is ghana producing. Nigeria has the potential of generating 10,000MW while ghana is just 2,220MW. Please correct me if i made a mistake.
Currently Nigeria is generating 6000mw while Ghana is generating 2300mw or so…Next year We are increasing it to 8000mw then b4 3years there would be stable power supply in Nigeria. You guys are talking of 419? Come to Nigeria prison ,you will see lot of ghanaian in there. Some were caught for armed robbery, oil bunkering, theft, just because we take you guys as our brother and we dont expose you guys? Then you have the guts to compare Ghana to Nigeria; OMG its an insult. Yes you guys had the fastest growing economy in 2011 but still cant be like that of Nigeria. Lagos is the largest city in Africa as at 2013, Lagos is the 2nd developing city in Africa, and 7th developing city in the world. Have you heard of the oil rich porthacourt, bayelsa, delta, ondo, edo and the coal rich enugu, have you heard of Jos where all sort of solid resources like tin, columbite are found? If not for our corrupt leaders, with our wealth and natural resources, we would have been one of the top ten richest country in the world both in GDP(PPA) and per capital income. …….Gosh…..You guys are talking of boko haram? When last have you heard of them this year? Jonathan govt has swept them away with the help of the military and citizens. Before now, USA was a terrorist target, al queda bombed USA, they are always terrorist attack in USA, UK, ISREAL,FRANCE just name it. And you are here talking trash. Go to google and check,in the whole of America(North and South)USA has the highest population of their citizens who live abroad.
