The United States government has introduced a new requirement for Nigerian visa applicants, mandating them to provide their social media history for the past five years. According to US Embassy, this move is part of US’s efforts to enhance its visa application process and ensure national security.
The new rule will require applicants to provide social media handles or profiles, as well as any other online identifiers, for the past five years. This information will be used to conduct thorough background checks on applicants.
The move has sparked concerns among Nigerians, with many questioning the implications of the new rule on their online freedom. However, the US government maintains that the rule is necessary to prevent potential security threats.
