If you recall, Cardi B disclosed on social media that she was filing for Nigerian citizenship over fears war might break between the United States and Iran. Well, the American rapper has gotten a response from an official of the Nigerian government. On Saturday (Jan. 4), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairman of Nigeria’s diaspora commission, reacted to Bardi’s playful post.
“@iamcardib As one in charge of the Diaspora for Ngr, We can’t wait to receive you again,” she posted. “Our doors are open, sister. And you need to talk a walk through the Door of Return in Badagry. It’s an indescribable experience.”
The personal assistant to Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, used the opportunity to jokingly settle the Nigeria vs. Ghana rivalry. “Nigeria vs Ghana, case closed,” he commented on Twitter.
