If you drop out, skip classes, your visa may be revoked — US warns Nigerian students
The United States Mission in Nigeria has urged Nigerian students in the US to strictly follow the rules of their student visa or risk losing the privilege to study in America.
The warning comes as part of efforts to remind international students of the consequences of failing to maintain their academic and immigration status.
According to the embassy, many visa revocations happen when students abandon their studies, stop attending classes, or change programs without notifying their institutions. Such actions, it warned, could also affect eligibility for future US visa applications.
“If you drop out, skip classes, or leave your program of study without informing your school, your student visa may be revoked, and you may lose eligibility for future US visa.
“Always adhere to the terms of your visa and maintain your student status to avoid any issues,” the embassy wrote in a statement via their X page.
Recall earlier, the United States Mission in Nigeria reiterated its zero-tolerance policy for violation of U.S. laws, warning that offenders risked visa refusal, revocation, deportation and possible ineligibility for future U.S. visas.
In a statement posted on its official X handle, @UsinNigeria yesterday, the mission cautioned that being arrested in the United States could trigger immediate immigration consequences.
The advisory, shared with the hashtags #VisaWiseTravelSmart and #USVisa, comes as thousands of Nigerians, particularly students, prepare for travel to the U.S. for the new academic session in September.
“If you are arrested, your U.S. visa may be revoked, you may be deported, and you could be ineligible for future U.S. Visas.
“The United States has zero tolerance for non-citizens who violate U.S. laws. Those who break the law, including students, may face visa refusal, visa revocation, and/or deportation,’’ the mission stated.
U.S. authorities have consistently maintained that visa issuance would not guarantee unrestricted stay, stressing that visitors must comply with the conditions and duration of their visa.

Ásake’s much-anticipated homecoming concert may be heading into stormy waters as fans take to social media to criticise the staggering ₦300,000 ticket fee.
What was expected to be a triumphant Lagos return for the global Afrobeats star is now spiralling into an online revolt, with many longtime supporters accusing organisers of “pricing out the true fans.”
The sentiment has grown so intense that several fan pages are warning that the high-end pricing could dampen excitement around Ásake’s headline performance.
FlyTime Fest, known for premium concert experiences, has steadily increased its fees over the years, but this latest jump appears to have crossed a psychological line.
Fans have flooded social media with criticism over the ₦300,000 ticket price for Ásake’s Lagos homecoming. Many expressed disbelief and frustration, saying the cost is outrageous and out of reach for those who have supported him since his early street-pop days.
Users questioned the pricing compared to international shows, with some noting that fans abroad can secure seats for less than half the cost.
Social media reactions have been fierce, @Yemmmmie_: “So Nigerians are paying $200 just to stand and watch Asake, while people abroad get seats for under $100? Make it make sense. How do you overcharge the people who actually built the fanbase? It’s giving ‘exploit your own’ and everyone’s just supposed to smile about it?”
@_ayzo: “I really wanted to go for Asake’s show but 300k is too ridiculous.”
@_blondehoe: “Asake ticket prices are ridiculous. Not even Chris Brown, Summer Walker and Travis Scott were this expensive. I might need a Nigerian bf to buy me a ticket soon.”
@richtosho: “Asake concert standing ticket is 300k, Rema 250k, Davido 250k, in a country of particular concern… but they will sell tickets in US for less than $100 ~150k and you might even see Chris Brown and Billie Eilish + 10 other artists… imagine?”
