Nigerian social media sensation and popular TikTok streamer, Peller , has once again found himself at the centre of controversy following a livestream that has generated heated reactions across social media. This time, the controversy revolves around religion after Peller appeared dressed in an outfit resembling the traditional portrayal of Jesus Christ and began presenting himself as Jesus during a livestream. The incident has attracted criticism from viewers, particularly Christians , who questioned why the young entertainer would use such a sacred religious figure for entertainment. What appeared to be another attempt to entertain his audience soon turned into an uncomfortable moment when a Lebanese man who was present cautioned him against his actions. HOW THE CONTROVERSY STARTED During the livestream, Peller appeared in a white and red outfit, complete with a wig, resembling the familiar appearance of Jesus Christ in some religious illustrations.

US announces visa ban on Nigerians undermining democracy

-

 


The United States government has announced a visa ban on Nigerians accused of undermining democracy, noting that this was part of the action to advance democracy and tackle corruption in Nigeria. 

 US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, January 25, said while the names of the those affected by the ban won't be revealed, it is however, part of the action to advance democracy and tackle corruption in Nigeria.

Blinken also said some family members of those barred from the US may also be subjected to the same restriction.

The statement read; 

”We are committed to supporting and advancing democracy in Nigeria and around the world. Today, I am announcing visa restrictions on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the democratic process in a recent Nigerian election.

‘’Under Section 212(a)(3)C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, these individuals will be found ineligible for visas to the United States under a policy to restrict visas of those believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy in Nigeria.

‘’Certain family members of such persons may also be subject to these restrictions. Additional persons who undermine the democratic process in Nigeria—including in the lead-up to, during, and following Nigeria’s 2023 elections—may be found ineligible for U.S. visas under this policy.’

‘’The visa restrictions announced today are specific to certain individuals and are not directed at the Nigerian people or the Government of Nigeria. The decision to impose visa restrictions reflects the commitment of the United States to support Nigerian aspirations to combat corruption and strengthen democracy and the rule of law."


The development is coming barely two months after the political counselor at the US Embassy in Nigeria, Rolf Olson, said that the US would impose visa sanctions on people who try to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process.

Speaking at the Hubert Humphrey Fellowship alumni association seminar last November, Olson said sanctions had been placed on persons who undermined the nation’s election before and would be repeated in the next election.

He said, ‘’Even a small number of troublemakers can cause substantial havoc to an election. It takes a comprehensive effort to try to eliminate the use of violence and inflammatory rhetoric.
