This weekend, the famous American rapper Cardi B announced on Twitter to want to apply for Nigerian nationality. The author of the hit "I like It" intends to protest against the foreign policy of US President Donald Trump. An announcement that leaves you perplexed.

Cardi B has been very critical of Donald Trump for over a year. On social networks, the star strangles the American president, especially for his migration policy. Unsurprisingly, the singer supports the removal procedure underway before the Senate in Wahsington.

Since a recent tour in Nigeria, Cardi B multiplies the declarations of love for the West African giant. At the beginning of December, the singer received a warm welcome during a concert in Lagos.

Naaaaa these memes are fuckin 😅😅 😩but shit ain't no joke! Specially being from New York .Its sad this man is putting Americans live in danger.Dumbest move Trump did till date ... I'm filing for my Nigerian citizenship.

Since then, she has participated in charitable actions with orphans. Cardi B even calls itself “Chioma”, a name from the Igbo language. Which is also that of Davido's fiancée, the pop star of Naija Music.

In her tweets from last weekend, Cardi B also published pictures of her in traditional dress as if to back up her statements.

Statements taken very seriously in Abuja: the commission in charge of the diaspora ensures that the doors of the country are open to it.

" At the beginning when I saw this on Twitter, I had the impression that it was a joke ," said Abdur-Rahman Adekunle Balogun, an official of this commission. At first it was surprising, but then we saw that Cardi B was serious. So, I must say that the government of Nigeria agrees. We are ready to accept his request if it is filed. "

He believes that " it is a good development " and " very good publicity " for his country. “ It shows that Nigeria attracts black people from the diaspora. It kind of fulfills Nigeria's dream of becoming an attractive country, attracting foreign investment, attracting more people to come and contributing to our economy. "

This case is indeed a boon for Nigeria, which suffers from a very bad image on the international scene.
