A Nigerian woman serving in the United States Army has made an emotional public appeal to President Donald Trump over her 10-year-old daughters inability to join her in the US. In a video shared online, the woman identified herself as Uzumaka and said she has been separated from her daughter for 10 years while trying to complete the immigration process. According to her, her daughter has completed the required US immigration process but remains in Nigeria because of the current visa restrictions. She said the situation has become more urgent because her daughter is now critically ill and needs medical care that she believes would be difficult to access in Nigeria. I am only simply asking that there should be an exception for me. My daughter is critically ill. I have all the paperwork to prove it, medical reports, she said. The US Army member said she had reached out to her commanders and Senator Amy Klobuchar, but was told that the visa process was progressing as planned. Appealing directly to Trump, she pleaded for her daughter to be granted a visa on humanitarian grounds. Please, Mr President, help me reunite with my daughter, she said, breaking down in tears. She also appealed to social media users to share her video and help amplify her plea, saying she had contacted major news organisations but had yet to receive a response. This is just a mother fighting for her daughter to live and survive, she added.
