Meet A Nigerian School Teaching Nigerian Children To Be Loyal To The United States And Not Nigeria
The school you just watched teaching Nigerian children to pledge allegiance to the United States is in Owerri, southeastern Nigeria.
Pearlville School claims to promote critical thinking, but this is the exact opposite. Teaching children to recite the US national anthem and pledge loyalty to a foreign country is not education. It is ideological conditioning at the most impressionable stage of their lives.
In what world should allegiance to the United States have any place in the curriculum of a school on African soil?
What exactly are these children being taught about their own country, history, identity and responsibility as Nigerians?
This ridiculousness exposes how deeply African identity has been pushed to the margins of our education systems, while foreign cultures are treated as superior and worthy of loyalty.
It also raises serious questions about the government and education authorities that approved, ignored, or failed to stop this. A country that does not take its children's education and identity seriously cannot pretend to be serious about sovereignty.

This will slowly fade away, see the reasons below:
For the 2026 school year, the latest official U.S. position I could find says new F, M, and J visa issuance for Nigerian nationals is partially suspended under Presidential Proclamation 10998, effective January 1, 2026. The U.S. Mission Nigeria states this applies to Nigerians outside the U.S. who do not already hold a valid visa as of that date. What that means for university applicants
If you are a Nigerian student applying for a new U.S. student visa in 2026, the official position says issuance is paused for F, M, and J categories, except for listed exceptions.
For a Nigerian student starting university in the 2026 academic year, the key issue is that new student visa issuance is officially restricted, so admission by a U.S. university may not be enough on its own to secure entry. You would need to check whether you qualify for one of the official exceptions or whether the policy has changed again before your interview date.
They must go through two crossings- 1- acceptance into a state university, 2- a visa to enter the country
Pearlville will have to adjust what they offer.
