If it's real Corona virus and not the malaria they treating in Naija, they better leave them there.

UK health system is top notch. If they take that flight, then they should be ready to face what comes after.

Nigerian doctors will only prescribe the usual, Antibiotics, pain reliever and blood tonic.

That's the cure for all ailments in Nigeria. Even HIV/AIDS.

Please don't quote me, I am not feeling fine.


That's what we are saying, Am sure if you are one of the politics out there, any slight headache like this, you will move out of the country, leaving our health sector and you will be blaming Nigeria doctors, pls let be guided oo

-As at last week, the UK had over 300,000 of their citizens scattered all over many continents, excluding people already evacuated and below is what their government said;

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "The government has committed up to £75m to help thousands of British people return home.

"In order to deliver value for money and put on as many flights as possible, anyone returning on a government charter flight will need to contribute towards their ticket based on the length of the journey.

"The amount charged will reflect only a proportion of the overall cost of the charter flight, which is why we have set aside the £75m fund."

People who are unable to afford travel costs and are struggling to get funds might be able to apply for an emergency loan from the government.

-Mind you there are all sorts of ways those UK citizens can get some if not all their money back from the government, e.g Universal credits.

-And they are not charging/scamming their citizens for Covid-19 Test abroad, unlike Nigeria, instead they are focusing on taking them back home safely.

-When you think of how much an average Nigerian political office holder takes home every month, with respect to their counterparts in the UK, it’s a disgrace Nigeria Government seeks to make profits on the back of those Nigerians predicament.

Even after you can see they are being charged, you decided to write an epistle.

At the end, a far wealthier country is charging its citizens for evacuation.

Whatever excuse you wish to bring up is now a figment of your imagination.

Before the arrival of Corona, Nigerian govt be boasting: We are ready, we are ready...

Then I ask.......In which area were they ready??

No tool to run a Quarantine successfully
No facility for Isolation
No palliatives to cushion Hard effect of lockdown. Nothing Nothing....

We are ready yen yen yen grin cheesy

Why will they not brag??! Even with an empty treasury, high insecurity, increasing and massive unemployment, depreciated currency, etc, this set of leaders and their sycophants will still have the whole world believe Nigeria is the GIANT OF AFRICA!!! grin

They are always doing great things on paper and in their social media pages, but rarely in reality!!! Mtchewww!!!

Am not here to drag words with you but what I want you to know is that it's better for them to remain there in the UK with a good health care system rather than bringing them back to Nigeria endangering others.

I hope you knew what happened to Italy and USA, trying to evacuate it citizens out of China, now they are the biggest hit in the world. So it's beta we manage the case we have at hand. Peace
And the Americans and Italians never stop evacuating their citizens despite the hit. It's all about love and respect for life of your citizens. The American military can risk the life of 10 solders just to save one of her citizens. That's has been their prectice since time immemorial

What do you mean by the statement in bold? Buhari spent nearly 6 months of his first tenure receiving medical treatment in the UK. When did Cuba come into the question?

So the fact that you currently have a lower infection rate than the UK means that Nigeria has a better healthcare system? Are you for real? Do you know that up till 2 months ago, China had the highest number of COVID-19 cases while the US had just a few. Today, China is 7th and the US has over half a million cases.
UK currently does about 20k tests per day and was hoping to step it up to 100k per day by month end, though it won't be possible again. How many tests has Nigeria done altogether?

Which facts are you asking me to check? Saying the truth about Nigeria, is that what you call denigrating? Even the best teaching hospital in Nigeria cannot measure up to any general hospital in the UK, yet you don't realise Nigerian health care system is a joke?

our hospitals are the worst eh? but you re still alive even though convid has been ravaging the nation, show pictures of streets littered with corpses in Nigeria.

Your health in nigeria has been managed by who? UK hospitals?

Stop putting words in my mouth. I NEVER said Nigerian hospitals are the worst. I never also implied that Nigerian streets are littered with corpses. Learn to argue intelligently without putting words in people's mouths.
I said the healthcare system of Nigeria is a joke, and Nigerian hospitals are not at par with their UK counterparts. You wouldn't debate this if you had any clue as to how things are on both sides.

It's COVID not CONVID.

The fact that the disease has been ravaging some nations doesn't mean everybody has died. The US for example has nearly 600k cases so far and over 23k deaths from a population of well over 300 million. That's to show that it doesn't kill everybody. I have friends and colleagues who earlier tested positive and had some symptoms but they are totally fine now. Some people don't even develop any symptoms.

Re: COVID-19: 10 Nigerians Awaiting Evacuation From UK Test Positive by googi: 3:19pm On Apr 14, 2020
One thing is clear from this discussion. Kokorovirus has opened the eyes of Africans that all that glitters is not gold. Branding is not reality.

The reason 70% of Africans make up the number of deaths is because their health system is not made to take care of blacks. Stop glorifying it because you got token treatment or beat the odds created against you.

Umaru Dikko once told us that If we think Nigeria is bad, we should go to America where people pick and search for food in people's garbages.

It came to pass in Nigeria.

We had a relatively good healthcare system, at least in the South. Prof. Olikoye Kuti mobilized Basic Health Services into Primary Healthcare. He and Dr. Lambo were vilified for promoting Voodoo health care because they emphasized local research and Community Health Officers trained all over the Country.

Think about it, Ebola was defeated in Nigeria, not by the best health system in the best Hospitals in Europe and America but by residual training from old school of Nigerian doctors, nurses and grassroots vigilance. Imagine?

This is what is going to defeat korunavirus before it wipes us out. Stop your complacency or self denigration. Nigerians, if you cannot help yourselves, who is going to help you?

You are unbelievable.At least give credit to our medical team that are putting their lives on the line to treat infected people and to ensure they are well and discharged back to their families and society .
If the advance nation that u so much adore and worship are so perfect, then how come they have recorded thousand of death per week ?? .
You will never appreciate the country that u have .Though Nigeria is a ghost of itself and seem to be a hell hole for her citizen but it is still thesame country we run to when we are attacked and and discriminated against by the outside world.
Wait and see how other nations of the world will treat u like the very scum of the earth , kill and hide ur kind in their hundred and thousand , use u for experiment if they so wish becos u have no country to identify with.while the world looks on and focus on important issue that will be of benefit to them.
Pls pack ur load to American,Spain ,UK,Italy etc and let us be .
Pls we know our leaders have failed us (though we are guilty for the kind of leaders we have since we put them there becos of the way we reason ) but do not rubbish the work of our medical heros (especially the good ones) that are out there trying to treat infected people and ensuring the virus is contained so that life can return to normal.
To all our medical heroes here,I say thank you and weldone.
