What a crying shame!!! Close to the end of his presidency, citizens of his country have become the largest group of applicants for the DV visa lottery. Even after September 11, people from BiafraNigeria know that they are safer and will do better in the US than in BiafraNigeria. That country is cursed.

They were running to Afghanistan before 9/11 if you did not know.
Have not seen the CBS and CNN documentary on how our kids drop death on the desert floor trying to run away from that God forsaken place?
How about our daughters that are littered across Europe looking for daily bread? I read in one scribe that Obu so nsi asked one of them upon arrival by deportation "tell me, why did you go?"
That is how small the man's brain is! Too bad the question was not posed to a Biafran girl, because he would have gotten the "correct" answer!

You have been growing lips lately to the problems facing Nigeria. Do you have any solution other than being delusional?

We definetly know the solution is not in your cattle shed so please hush it up. May be you should go enlist in Aremu's army that will liberate Bakassi from the Camerounians.

You are a life saver. I have sent loads of the sample forms to many desperate Biafranigerians.
Your tribes men had been ripping people off with some drab quality typed forms which they sell for as much as 1000 BiafraNigerian Naira.

I think that the US government needs to end DV lottery. I just cannot stand the poor from Nigeria coming over here thanks to the lottery and suddenly, they think that they belong. They forget who is who. I don't think that this is good for Nigeria? US needs to end this scrap. People that never in their widest dream dreamt of coming to America, suddenly are attending the same local meeting with us and even have opinions at issues. You even have some of these guys having the guts to want to me members of WIC. My 2cents.

Why take this position? Could it be becuase you are already here?
I say leave things the way they are. Just because people want to challange you in a meeting does not change the fact that the lottery is a good thing for our Biafran people who can't get ahead in Biafranigeria any other way.

BiafraNigeria gets lion's share of Visa Lotto:
quote:U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman _________________________________________ For Immediate Release June 24, 2003
MEDIA NOTE Diversity Visa Lottery 2004 (DV-2004) Results
The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky, has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2004 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Approximately 111,000 applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an application for an immigrant visa. Since it is likely that some of the first *50,000 persons registered will not pursue their cases to visa issuance, this larger figure should insure that all DV-2004 numbers will be used during fiscal year 2004 (October 1, 2003 until September 30, 2004).
Applicants registered for the DV-2004 program were selected at random from the approximately 7.3 million qualified entries received during the one-month application period that ran from Noon on October 7, 2002 through Noon on November 6, 2002. An additional 2.9 million applications were either received outside of the mail-in period or were disqualified for failing to properly follow directions. The visas have been apportioned among six geographic regions, with a maximum of seven percent available to persons born in any single country. During the visa interview, principal applicants must provide proof of a high school education or its equivalent or show two years of work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience within the past five years. Those selected will need to act on their immigrant visa applications quickly. Applicants should follow the instructions in their notification letter and must fully complete the information requested.
Registrants living legally in the United States who wish to apply for adjustment of their status must contact the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services for information on the requirements and procedures. Once the total *50,000 visa numbers have been used, the program for fiscal year 2004 will end. Selected applicants who do not receive visas by September 30, 2004, will derive no further benefit from their DV-2004 registration. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2004 principal applicants are only entitled to derivative diversity visa status until September 30, 2004.
Only participants in the DV-2004 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2005 lottery if they wish. The dates for the mail-in period for the DV-2005 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2003.
* The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NCARA) passed by Congress in November 1997 stipulated that up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas be made available for use under the NCARA program. The reduction of the limit of available visas to 50,000 began with DV-2000.
The following is the statistical breakdown by foreign-state chargeability of those registered for the DV-2004 program:
