Regina Askia-Williams, Nollywood actress turned U.S based nurse, is officially a citizen of United States. The ex-beauty queen who has been in the United States for 15 years, took to Facebook to announce that she’s now a green card holder after delaying it for many years, because she never felt any pressure to change status until President Trump was elected.

However it was gathered that Regina delayed her citizenship status before now, all because she wanted to become a politician in Nigeria.

Her Facebook post about being a U.S citizen reads:

“And so today I made it official. I took the oath and became a citizen of the United States of America. Empowered and armed for the full pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.”
