 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry. Artan, who is set to become the first Somali referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup finals, was stopped at Miami International Airport and subsequently returned to Istanbul, where he had been residing.

From my perspective, there are no educated person in Nigeria. How can you claim to be educated when you lack basic necessities such as clean water, well-maintained roads, and reliable electricity? 


In countries with educated populations, they have the ability to solve their own problems. However, here in Nigeria, being able to speak English fluently and possessing a certificate obtained through monetary means does not equate to true education.


Europeans do not possess vast oil reserves like we do, yet their educated citizens are able to manufacture electric cars. As we boast about our education, we fail to address any of our pressing issues.

The day I truly believe that there are educated people in Nigeria is the day we begin actively solving our problems.


Despite your education, you are unable to resolve the issues of insecurity, poor road conditions, and numerous other challenges plaguing our nation. Travel to places like Dubai, Europe, and America, and you will witness how educated people live and conduct themselves.
