Abstract

The article focuses on Nigeria's rejection of the United States' immigration policy regarding the acceptance of third-country migrants deported by the U.S. Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar emphasized that Nigeria has "enough problems" and will not accept deportees with no ties to the country, highlighting a broader stance on sovereignty and a refusal to be a dumping ground for migrants. This decision reflects Nigeria's commitment to its foreign-policy framework, which prioritizes democracy, development, demography, and diaspora, and signals a shift in how African nations engage with Western powers. As Nigeria asserts its independence, it may influence other African countries to reconsider their relationships with the U.S. and seek partnerships based on mutual respect rather than coercion.
