The 33-year-old Afropop star is said to be one of the headliners of the Festival international Nuits d’Afrique.
Commenting on the development, Suzanne Rousseau, the festival co-founder, said the visa denial was due to financial reasons, and for fears that the group wouldn’t leave Canada. “Finally, we got an answer saying the musicians were refused, saying they have to guarantee that they have enough financial means that will make them go back to their country,” she said.
With Yemi’s absence, Suzanne has stated that the singer would have to be replaced at the festival by Sampa The Great, a Zambian-born Australia-based singer.
Now I see why Yemi Alade wants to start doing only fans. She don broke pity.
Canada rest in Jesus name
Maybe they thought she won’t leave until she finds Johnny. After all “He go Canada” 🤷♀️
You people talking about Ayade are all mumu. You should be worried about your fraudulent country that has nothing to show. Very soon there will be no gary to smoke. God help you people.
CitImmCanada it’s about time you stopped those nonsense about denying African visa with same excuse. “They won’t leave”. Why won’t they leave Does “goat eat shit” All these agenda against Africans should stop.
Fuck Canada.Nigeria is finished.All of you that loved Buhari to spite Ndiigbo.Nto all of you
They claim they love their nigeria, why are they running?
Good
Financial reason ke...are we broke nu
Yemi baby, find another country chook head. You have many opportunities.
,qqqq2qq! 1111!tcttc fcfff FF FF FF 5 think Llop5v5555555555g5gg
Ofcos they know she will go back but probably they're not sure of some of her bands members might not and that's the reason they refused her.
Canada thought her Johnny is there.😏
I don't think that is the reason why because she is already a start.
This is the embarrassment APC and Buhari brought to every Nigerian. 200 million of us with our children's children according to statistics are owing. Why won't the world disrespect us.
Lol
Wahala no dey finish for this obodo Nigeria
See embarrassment...smh
My crush ♥️🤦
What i believe Yemi Alade love Africa more than Canada so with Canada with out Canada She remained the shining star of the most populace black Continent in the world we love her and God willing she will continue to be a mighty twinkling star in Africa.
.... didn't meet certain criterias which includes statement of account with over 5 million. Yemi as been to Canada and she has a valid Canadian visa. Please, try to verify news like this before you pass judgement. Thank you!
Dem don tire for us😂😂

We need a Nation.
WELL NO BODY SHOULD BLAMED CANADA, NIGERIA SHOULD REBUILD THEIR NATION FOR CANADIAN CITIZENS TO ALSO APPLY VISA TO VISIT NIGERIA 🙄
Read the comments and I agree, the headline isn't a great look but they did mention financial reasons. Could it be that the proof of funds presented was severely lacking?
EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives
BHADAMAN_ Lie
Wahala no dey finish 🤣
I hope she didn't in the past make references to such a thing sha, cause sometimes, these sought of preliminary conclusions are reached by looking at an applicant's record across platforms. Otherwise, a Yemi shouldn't have an issue securing a Canadian visa na.
Everybody just wan japa
What nonsense!
😭 why will you want to return to this Zoo?
Denounce Nigeria now and be free for life
Peter Obi is the solution 👌
No country rejects visa for celebrities unless on political grounds. The fault is from the people inviting her. They could have gone through Nigerian Embassy in Canada. All they need is her passport pages and she'll be treated with royalty. They should take the matter up.
Disrespected 🙄
Lol....Naija 🤦
🤣🤣🤣

This should be her personal issue...this news is malicious
Ah ha 🤣
Mtcheew.what of all the white people in Transcorp. They don’t even move about with their passport. Abeg they should do what? Getout!
Insult. Nigeria should kindly act to protect her best. This is unacceptable Your top artists are your unofficial ambassadors Nigeria should act
We want it to every Nigeria terrorist musicians.. where are they going? Let them be in Nigeria with poor mass to that they'll speak up against the evïl politicians in contraption called Nigeria..
Don't mind them dear,they don't deserve you,we know your worth joor!
Hmmm
Oh yes,, they may not return to Nigeria because, Nigeria is total mess.....You still see many people like them dancing and clapping for some useless leader who made Nigerians to rejected in the world.
Which trash is this? When she has a property in Atlanta full- paid for, why she go wan go wound herself inside cold especially with the Canadian music scene not a quarter as vibrant as it is Stateside.
This is not a big deal, the first time Bill Gates applied for a Nigerian visa he was rejected! He was rejected on the grounds that he might not have money to live in Nigeria
what's the big deal, is it because she is a celebrity that you are publicizing it... there are so many people that have faced the same faith over the years
Holle
A loss to Canada. They will miss a talented musician. Are we sure she would have been denied visa if was white? Don't worry, Yemi. East or west, home is the best.
Who is yemi alade? Out calamity that happening in this country Nigeria 🇳🇬every day....
Western nations do not love u ,so stay and develop Nigeria
If our government good wetin concern us concern other country kwanu....
You are going nowhere, stay in your beloved Nigeria
JAkanle This is cheap. Canada is not a lawless country. Does Canadian law prescribe that foreigners who refuse to leave after the expiration of their visas can't be deported? What a derogatory excuse.
Maybe they need to fact check very well yemi shouldn't be denied visa , they can deny people like us because if I enter that country ehn it's a breakthrough for me
😒
So why is this news? Countries deny thousands of people visa everyday, many times for flimsy reasons. And that doesn't make their reason for denial true. She will probably still reapply and get it. This happens and is not a big deal.
This is a joke of the century....
Ahhh this is too harsh
This certainly isn't the reason anyways you can be denied visa for the sake of it.
And?
Canada denying our celeb Yemi Alade Visa shows where Nigeria is today. Tell me any South African celeb that will be denied a visa with the resson given. Our country is dead. Peter Obi must come to our rescue.
See finish!!
Vote Peter Obi/Datti/ Labour Party!…WE MOVE!!
Why would she come back to this hellhole?
They SHOULD denied all NIGERIA politicians visa not traveled also....
Na so she first go Norway, she no go gree comet till yesterday, Canada no give her o
What rubishhhhhhhh
Buhari nah you do this one oooh
Naija don happen to her
So what? It's their loss.
This is ridiculous
You. See dy should do so to politics too
🤣🤣🤣whaaat this nah disrespect to not only yemi's but naija's name
Canada can deny anyone a visa, if the country they are coming from is having big issues, especially our country ,our government doesn't have time for their citizens, why should other country cares 🤔. They do not want any pollution in their country.
This is exactly what we're talking about New Nigeria. GetYourPVCNow vote and vote PeterObi4President2023 ObiAhmed2023 to change the narratives of Nigeria so that our Green passport and image will be respected all over the world. I remain Obidient
The respect you get from a second country depends on the quality of respect your country of origin attaches to you. Nigerian govt has failed to dignify the citizens before the nations, not that Nigerians can’t compete equally against the World
See finish a whole yemialadee Canada no do well.
Her energy is too much or what !
Get different African countries passport, and you will see yourself in Canada in no time
Chai. This Buhari regime dey touch everyone. But some people still dey support party that will serve us Agbado.
IFB
Canada are u kidding me 😳
What is she going to do in Canada nizooria should b a better country for her
Wahala 😂
That's what you get coming from a shit-hole country like Nigeria. Now, even our celebrities are not spared. Giant of Africa!
Will she leave before?
Are they normal?
How you na dey take get this info? I know we don't have investigative journalists in Nigeria aside David Hundeyin.
And this is news? Mtschew!
This is not about disrespect.The Canadian immigration said she doesn't have enough fund that will bring her and her crew back to Nigeria after the music festival she was billed for. Hence, they fear she might not come back to Nigeria and as a result, her visa was denied.
MwihakiNjeri what gives?😱
I will pretend I don’t see kind News or Headline.. harsh and Barbaric
Very disappointing! 😌
These people are funny. What will an A List artiste like Yemi Alade be doing in Canada after her show?
Re: they should please give better reasons... Is their country heaven? Mtcheeww 😏
¥ft +xxxxxxxx
Insult
Let's stay back and fix our country to work for us. I'm Obidient! ...and I know we got all it takes to build an economy that works for us.
Maybe intel reaching her that that’s where Johnny and Cynthia eloped to.
This is not the real reason Something happened and they re not saying it
the same Candan looking for people to migrate there or which canada is it
Canada embassy don’t joke they are very mean visa one of the hardest country to get visa
The most ridiculous thing I read today
😆
Good decision by the Canadian High commission, they should extend it to dirty politicians and top civil servants. Yemi Alade as an artist never used her voice as an artist to speak about evils, and dehumanisation of Nigerian masses, by the political elites and armed forces.
owoeye157561111 😂😂
Asin is there heaven
I feel insulted and angry right now. To me yemi alade is queen of Africa right now. I seriously feel insulted
Insult 😂
Nonsense
Thanks for the update
They treat us badly because of this 👇🏾
This is,happening because of bad leadership
Anybody papa can chop breakfast from Canada 🇨🇦
I don't believe this news. Yemi Alade is a celebrity not only in Nigeria but the world. This is belittling.
Sorry madam, stay home
Kai!
But she only wanted to go and help them grow their GDP & tourism sector. She will be having other concerts in other countries after that. What will she be doing in canada after her show!.? Dosent make sense!, just part of the 'see finish' we suffer bcoz of our gvnt.
And tomorrow one mumu go come hear to brag she is better than Tiwa as if anybody cares for who is better… Tiwa bagged her Masters degree in Kent university and can enter any country of her choice without restriction..
This is fake news. Sahara is trash
We die here lol 😀
Lover's of ONE NIGERIA SCAM what are you benefitting from Nigeria government has a citizens SUFFERING and SMILING praising your oppressors YOUR EXCELLENCE FOOLS. Nigeria passport is useless as tissue paper. SAY NO TO ARTIFICIAL IDENTITY NIGERIA we are not Nigerians
Lover's of ONE NIGERIA SCAM don't wait for Nigeria to happen to you before you realise that Nigeria is a scam. No one is Nigerian it's just an ARTIFICIAL IDENTITY WE ARE NOT NIGERIANS. Stop fooling yourself with UNITY OF FOOLISHNESS. Support your NATION to EXIT Nigeria
This one loud o😂😂😂 Why are you running?
Hmm.. interesting. Its obvious that the Canadian immigration don't do their due diligence as much as we thought, otherwise they would have known that this is a renowned int'l artist. If this is their reason, I guess they just opened a loop hole in their system
Canada no get sense...
U people should shut up joor... Wat type of stupid lie is this The Nigeria economy problem u are supposed to face u left it, u are guys are here twitting rubbish.
They be insulting us because we have useless leaders.

And so what? Is this supposed to be a news. Yemi, we love you so much no matter what.
Nigeria don finish pata pata .
Lol
Cos many artists has gone and never come back 😂 We can’t start mentioning names tho 😂
Lol 😂
Canada own sef don dey too much
She must have talked trash about Nigeria That's the actual reason why they don't give some people visa.. When u don't say good thing about the country or what u do in the country on what will bring u back
🤣🤣🤣
This is really funny
This is what happens when you don’t contact ksa0510 he’s a great Canadian immigration consultant
Every country now know that Nigeria is in a mess so any Nigerian that applies for visa is seen as trying to relocate from the country no matter the excuse that you give. This is quite painful. We were better than this before. The Lord will redeem us again.
Hahahahaha
Lol
No wayyy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah. Such a disrespect 😤
Most of you will not understand, until when it set. Nigeria is now borrowing to service debt. Those who understand the implication are preparing to run away. Very soon it will not be easy to run away. Then you will understand the sentence that says 'we die here'
They should keep on campaigning for APC oyibo no sabi money o! as long as Nigeria fflw ur name
O gbenu tan o

AustinNwabufo The number of resignations (both official and up-coming) happening within the next 4 weeks will be bewildering. Most of the guys resigning are going to Canada or UK.
Nawaaa ooo
Is this playing? So yemi alade is broke?
Wahala
Wtf
What an insult.
Embarrassing
So it begins
Yemi Alade, and her music band have been denied Canadian visa over fears that she and her crew may not leave the country after their performance. What kind of propaganda is that? What will she be doing in Canada after that?
Na Canada u take dey play😄😄 Them no dey look face.
This is really embarrassing.
Nigeria has become everyone trash, but readily steal our professionals away with Jos they cannot turn down. It's not their fault. It is Nigerians that are happy to be ruled by fools and perpetual failures.
Hmmm.. Las Las everybody go collect 😏
They are indirecting her to USA
😂 she resemble who wan jakpa 😂
It's because she is still single. Those oyinbo people always suspect single people.
See finish
Typical SR, PhD (Pull her down) mentality, what's the point of this news? She can appeal or find a guarantor. Snoop Dogg was banned from the UK for many years, he is still DoGG
Lol
Good for her. Maybe she will realize the urgency to use her celebrity status to fight for freedom for the people in the zoo.
What an insult!!
It's really sad where we are as a nation. She's big star by any standard and has achieved for herself. I ask what will she be doing in Canada? Show us some respect!!!
Austin75047722 Nigeria I hail u ooo…. All this Yeyebreties are broke … I laugh when Nigerians want them to lead revolution.
Is that true
Trash
I don't believe this news.
Can you imagine....even a celebrity
Alternative, go TBS them go show her map see Canada see America if go thru Morocco, pass desert you don enter, you will just fisher $50 they will carry you pass the river, simple you don enter Canada or America. 🇺🇸🇨🇦😳🙄🤔🍁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is just the beginning.the world is watching Nigeria.. some are tinubulating, others are atikulating. After 2023 if eventually tinubu or atiku win the election. The world will then conclude that Nigerians are idiots.because no reasonable person will vote these two over obi.
After she don collect at least 15k USD per hoax crew member. Canadian consulate know whats up. As una no wan talk for this country, all of una go dey collect wotowoto.
Nigeria sorry !
I love that by the time developed countries begin to do so,we will be left with no option than to develop our. How I wish Dubai,UK , USA & co can deny our political class.
Maybe them no know her net what.
Time to fix our mess
As she make a video last year about delay in the USA embassy holding her passport maybe eventually she was refused and looking for alternative...
Shebi she call herself mama Africa, wetin mama Africa wan go do for obodo oyinbo..
Na APC cause am.
Our government has ridicule us to a point of no return, u will be so ashamed of your self, when you been ask your country of origin and u say Nigeria, you will be shocked. they will look at you like a common criminal, I tell you the truth our government have made mess of us all.
Be like say dem dey take Canadian loud 💨
That means I should not even try Luck
Buhari has really delivered on his campaign promise to Nigerians, Top to bottom, from our economy to sports to security, education nkó? All na from top to bottom, banza mutiny
some of you still dont understand the stima associated to Niggarea...
Our kind of government is virtually responsible to all this nonsense.
😂😂😂
But that's not an excuse, someone of such calibre . It's insult to Nigeria as a nation
How embarassing😠😠
🤣🤣🤣
Stay in Nigeria and make it great.
Embarrassing
If Yemi Alade had Yoruba nation instead of this British contraption called Nigeria, Canada and other countries alike would be begging her to come and visit. Unfortunately, Nigeria has happened to her. My only advice for her is to join the movement to EndNigeriaNow.
😂😂😂
If only they know how many countries she has been to 🙄🙄🙄
Let she take them to court.
Another episode of, 'When Nigeria Happens to You.' End the scam country already. It's the one limiting the potential of its people. Even outside the country, there's a PERMANENT stigma around that title 'Nigerian.' Nigeria is a curse! If not, how audacious of these people?!
uzzyisthevibe Na Buhari icause all this nonsense treatment
Has anyone even considered the fact that she might just have needed a visa to go for a show in Canada? The Nigerian and African population has grown over the years and would demand Nigerian musicians performing there too. Our Minister for foreign affairs must get involved.
Really
This is humiliating to every Nigerian citizen. If we have responsible government, this will not happen
😂😂😂😂😂😭😂 Omo buhari Don do people 100
Hahahahaha
Yeah right, but Nigeria gas doesn’t need visa! All this nonsense must stop’ if not for bad leadership! Wetin person won go find inside cold & dead vast land? I’m telling you Africa is far better! They’d gladly swap continent with Africa, we need to get it right walai!
Is this not contradictory. A country asking people to come in at the same time saying someone won't leave their country.🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾
Imagine such disrespect from all these G7 countries for Nigerians Oh how a one mighty nation has fallen We cannot even service our foreign debts However, Canada has the right to give or refuse anyone Visa but No Nigerian has to pat for visa fee for a rejected visa
Lols 😂 Canada sha
This is very much laughable but not in a funny way. This is Apex insult. She should sue the consul. In fact, this is an assault on both her person, brand & Nigeria...the attorney general should cue in.
Canada Denies Nigerian Musician, Yemi Alade Visa Over Fears ‘She Won’t Leave The Country’ | Sahara Reporters
Wetin be this
Why does want to leave Nigeria. Nigeria is a wonderful, productive and serene place with great beaches, correct?
AmmeLeun
All of you will eat breakfast untill you realised that you are slaves under one Nigeria.
Nigeria is gone forever, is only dead person that thinks Nigeria will work again 😃
See insult
E don red. They’re overwhelmed with the level of Japa that they don’t even trust our celebrities. That’s one of the symptoms of having a bad administrator running the affairs of the country. The people groan 😫 and emigrate/immigrate.
everyone on e they make small money they want run go abroad. Stay here and develop here. No one will denied you visa
9c 1 Nigerians have already tarnish our image in d world
Remain here with us. Celebrities other countries are fighting their government if they are not doing well. Nigeria celebrates on use social media. You people should come boldly the youth will definitely come out too. Nonsense!!!!!!
May Nigeria continue happening to them 1 Nigerianists who do not want their freedom🙏🙏🙏
I think it’s time the celebrities should be more vocal about the terrible state of things in Nigeria. If Nigeria as a country is not a shit-hole, why would anyone runaway let alone a celebrity. Sorry o Yemi, this is an everyday experience for ordinary poor Nigerians.
Not their fault 😏
She was among the judas that endorsed Tunibu presidency he should waite to see the out come. Many will be in her shoes very soon. Canada 🇨🇦 is built by making good selection of leadership not by accepting peanuts and sale their conciseness.
Imagine that? Guys please, let's join hands and build Nigeria, Canada or called developed Countries no get half waiting Naija get ooo, but na Corruption de hold Us down. Ladies and gentlemen please, VOTE PeterObi come 2023 and send ALL the OLD THIEVES to OLD PEOPLE'S HOMES...

I can definitely assure them that the Yemi Alade can't stay back in a boring country like Canada.
Nonsense and ingredients....she should slam them with a well loaded response letter.
Please let her stay with us in Nigeria . where is she running to? Let her come back and let us make Nigeria better than Canada so that Canadians can beg for Nigerian visa.
Japa things.
😂😂
Lol 😂

A whole mama Africa 😭
Dis is an insult shaa
I don’t blame them... I blame Nigerians, the population of Nigerians alone in Canada is teeming into 500k
Aunty Yemi, dem don see you finish oo
