Nigerians react to video
Many have stormed the comment section of the post to register what they feel about the video post.
Some faulted the organisers for what they deem an unnecessary admittance of inferiority that maligns the image of Nigeria as a country than it glorifies the status of America.
Someone specifically pointed out that such demeaning acts can only be found by the northerners who, as he put it, are from being civilised.
Trump stops birthright citizenship
Legit.ng had earlier reported that President Donald Trump had signed an executive order on his first full day in office to halt the practice of granting U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil to parents without legal status.
The executive action marks a significant shift in immigration policy and is part of a broader agenda to strengthen border security and crack down on illegal immigration.
Trump’s order seeks to reinterpret the 14th Amendment, which has long been understood to guarantee citizenship to anyone born in the United States.
