Abike Dabiri Reacts After Cardi B Says ‘She’s Filing For Nigerian Citizenship’

American rapper and mother of one, Cardi B has received a message of solidarity after she revealed that she’s filing for her Nigerian citizenship.

Twenty-seven year old Belcalis Almanzar became one of the most talk-about subjects on Twitter very early on Saturday morning after she announced that she would file for her Nigerian citizenship.

Cardi B made the announcement in reaction to the killing of a top Iranian General, Qasem Soleimani, by the United States government in an air attack on Friday morning in Baghdad.

The rapper who recently visited Nigeria, described the move by the US president as ‘the dumbest”, stressing that he is putting Americans lives in danger — Hence her decision to file for Nigerian citizenship.

“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,” she wrote via Twitter.

Reacting to the tweet, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairman of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission said “we can’t wait to receive you again” Cardi B.

She tweeted: “@iamcardib. As one in charge of the Diaspora for Ngr, We can’t wait to receive you again. Our doors are open, sister. And you need to talk a walk through the Door of Return in Badagry. It’s an indescribable experience.”
