Amid rising diplomatic tensions following a U.S. travel ban targeting 12 countries, mostly in Africa and the Middle East, announced by President Donald Trump, Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani has called for national dignity over reliance on foreign acceptance. Though Nigeria is not currently included in the ban, Sani’s remarks on X have sparked a heated debate about the country’s global standing and the value of local life.
In a post at 08:59 UTC, Sani stated, “The US should not ban Nigerians from traveling to their country. There is no reason to do that. We don’t fall into the category of those countries they consider as threats.” He suggested a reciprocal ban if the U.S. proceeds, adding, “However, there are those of us who appreciate the peace and dignity of our villages and mud houses than going to live in places where we are not welcomed.”
