Just learnt that in the last 5 yesrs, 50,000 Nigerians have emigrated into the USA. Now that is a huge number. However we are not the only country no longer eligible - there are others.
Nigerians should therefore be mindful that on 1st, October, 2013 when they nrxt see the American Lottery Visa asking for applications from Nugerians - their applications WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. There are unscrupulous Nigerians who will go round asking for fees to help unsuspecting Nigerians submit their applications - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

Nigeria and some other countries will no longer be eligible to participate in the America Diversity Visa lottery programme.
Information from the United States Department of State sighted on Sunday said Nigerians and citizens from few other countries were not eligible for DV-2015
The department said Nigeria was excluded since over 50,000 Nigerians had immigrated into the United States in the last five years.
The department listed other countries not eligible as Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador and Haiti.
Others are India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam
