Donprah: this is so sad especially in Africa, we have so many people that want to travel..and now £3,000 is so big for a high majority of those immigrants... i think the high commissioner to Nigeria over there in Uk should try and look into this

coogar:

there are thousands of human rights group lying in wait to attack the policy. i believe it's just hot air. this time last year, the issue of bounty hunter was brought up. till date, i have not heard of anyone caught via bounty hunters.

nigerians can relax!

texaco1:
you guys are forgeting that last year events isnt the same as this year.there is a growing call for tougher immigration rules folloing the killing of a uk soldier by two uk born nigerians.they are going to rope all this in.uk will carry out this policy,and believe me there isnt much that nigeria can do to retaliate.

bjdon: People here's some thoughts on this from the UK:

1: This policy (if we can even call it that) is being pushed by Theresa May, the Home Sec who has ambitions to be PM if the Conservatives loose in 2015. She needs to raise her profile with the right wing press and the conservative Party.

2: Since the announcement on Sunday (In only 1 major newspaper) no govt figure has come out to support the plan.

3: The British need trade with 3rd world as the EU is stagnant at the moment and any thing that could impact that trade will never see the light of day.

With all of the above I really doubt if this policy will ever be implemented. The current govt here have a habit of talking big but delivering little (Kind of like GEJ's administration ) Let's relax and watch how things unfold but kudos to the FG for firing a warning shot at them. Trust me that's the only language the British understand.

Looool Theresa May has no chance in hell of being PM, not in this life. She is one of the most hated politicians in Britain.

If its Boris, I agree but Theresa? Hell no. If she harbours any ambition of being PM, then she is highly delusional.

J12: Who is a high risk traveller?

funnyx:

Fear for wia? Rather its people like you that are quick to jump to conclusion, the scheme has not been fully developed and may still need to get parliamentary approval yet some Nigerians are already cursing the UK and threatening retaliation but many of you are quick to say that the UK is finished I cannot but wonder why many Nigerians are so much concerned about this 'finished' country

who would vote for theresa may?
mikel obi has a better chance of becoming the prime minister than theresa may. her fellow brits can't stand her.

coogar:

nigeria should also initiate a pilot scheme that would affect a minority of the british travellers. all those white men that look like perverts, serial killers, drug addicts, etc should be made to pay £20,000 bond. our own scheme would not affect every british traveller as well, just the ones that are high-risk!

finito!

dulphines: UK = Dry Land. Wonder what Nigerians go to find in that poor country!

Hahaha Yes UK = Dry land but peace, security and value for human lives

NIGERIA = Hell fire, hunger, no electricity, and human lives worth less than $1

Which do you prefer?

coogar:

they are doing a lot about that - UK wants out of EU. that debate has been going on for a month now. the romanians are everywhere these days taking their jobs and putting a huge strain on the NHS.

Abeg permit me to laugh

Dee60: It is amazing that many people in our country do not read. I read the original article by the British government. First, it is just a mere proposal by a home secretary. Secondly, the article said that the bond could affect people with 6 months visa, meaning that a large proportion of the regular travelers will not be affected. Labour government tried the same proposal a few years ago and it did not work out. Why all the noise? I am in no way supporting the bond, but we at least should read things before shouting on the roof top.

It is right for FG to have reacted, and now the real discussions will start. I will not be surprised if the move is cancelled. It may just be a move to put pressure on some countries to reduce high rate of absconding!

Where will people see 3,000 pounds as bond? Wont work.

Lool laugh! Nigeria is the hell fire the bible talked of.

femmyb: You seem to forget that the Romanians and the other eastern block nations flooding into the UK are white and you my friend is black remember blood is thicker than water so the guy is correct in a way.
