Following the recent visa restrictions placed on Nigeria, many Nigerian entertainers and students who wish to do business and study in the U.S are worried about how this ban will affect them.

Trump’s new visa restrictions will also affect stakeholders in the entertainment industry. Some musicians and comedians are already being denied visas.

Hopefully, this will change or we’ll start seeing Nigerian students and celebrities readjust their plans of going to the US.
