The 2022 US diversity Visa(DV) lottery registration began on October 7 and Nigeria happens to be the only African country currently excluded from participating in it.
Nigerians are no longer eligible for the Diversity Visa Lottery because more than 50,000 persons from Nigeria have moved to the US within the five years preceding the country’s first ban in 2015. A statement on the US embassy website read, "Only people that were born outside of Nigeria or have parents that were born outside of Nigeria are eligible for the Diversity Visa. If you were born in Nigeria to Nigerian born parents, you are not eligible for the visa lottery". At least 20 other countries have been excluded from applying for the 2022 DV lottery as well.
