Nigeria has announced it will enforce reciprocal visa requirements on US citizens, mirroring a new American rule demanding applicants disclose five years of social media history. This diplomatic tit-for-tat comes after the US Mission in Nigeria began mandating that Nigerian applicants provide usernames, email addresses, and phone numbers linked to their social media accounts. According to the mission, omissions could lead to visa denial and affect eligibility for future visas. While US officials frame the measure as a national security safeguard, a Nigerian Foreign Ministry spokesman declared the principle of reciprocity, stating that American applicants will face identical scrutiny to ensure fairness. The decision highlights ongoing tensions over restrictive immigration practices and signals Nigeria’s determination to protect its citizens from what it views as unfair treatment abroad.
