In a situation like this, all naija needs to do is reciprocate. we should start asking for SA hiv status card. if they have hiv, they should be deported. 1 Like |

Respect is reciprocal but truth be told how many South Africans come to Nigeria? |

@Arosa: In a situation like this, all naija needs to do is reciprocate. we should start asking for SA hiv status card. if they have hiv, they should be deported. If only our Gov. will approve that but they wount becuz they have invested in SA so much that they are now slaves to them. |

I think the Nigerian Govt. should look into this It is derogatory to have to go through this as a foreigner Health officials should seek to dialogue with south Africa over this matter to resolve it once and for all and come to the conclusion which ' yellow card' is valid and which is not. it is really humiliating to have gone through this ordeal especially as a child. |

Can dt happen in dis country? Look at our retardeen & clueless president GEJ instead of fixing some issues with other countries he would rather busy travelling with uncountable aides for unnecessary celebrations like birthday parties & burial ceremonies. Foolish fisherman! |

Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by 27naira(m): 1:51pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
Its very unfortunate but lets be honest with ourselves, several times i have travelled through Muritala Mohammed, i have been approached by people selling yellow fever vaccine cards, it shocked me because the airport authorities are aware of this. Don't blame SA, blame our the decay in our health system. It's sad though. |

Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by kollinsfbi: 2:14pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
Let's be sincere to ourselves, how many Nigerian travellers with The International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow card) actually received vaccination? The first time I travelled out in year 2007, I was injected and issued The yellow card in my state capital (Akure) but these days, 60% of travellers buy their cards either @ embassies upon submission of visa application or at airports upon departure without any form of injection.I think it's right for SA to force Nigerian Government to do the right thing, no vaccination no entry.The only painful part of this is the fact that many with real yellow cards will still be affected and denied entry. Shame on Nigerian Health Authority, shame on Nigerian Government. Gbammm over and out |
Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by talk2tosep(m): 2:15pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
I think the govt here in southafrica is up for something,ashlyum seekers from ghana,nigeria ,and mali were arrested and detained in my present on thursday,later this morning I heard they have been deported.this is just a big slap on us , |
Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by collinsfbi(m): 2:47pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
@talk2tosep, I think that is a great development for SA government, it was revealed some months ago that there is no more asylum for Nigerians and some other countries and I think it's a very good development because I wonder why Nigerians will travel all the way to SA, overstay their visit and trying to seek asylum, for what and on what basis? Boko haram or what? If many are deported through this medium, I think it will reduce the rate at which Nigerians fleeing to SA. Gbamm over and out |

otokx: what respect? How many South Africans come to Nigeria to work or study? Imagine University of Capetown is in top 100 in the world and will send a student on exchange to University of Ibadan ranked in about 6000 ? O r which Nigerian company have working standard like in South Africa? |
Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by jidewin(m): 3:08pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
@collinsfbi The issue at hand is not those seeking assylum, but the wanton and discriminatory health requirement which changed suddenly without a proper broadcast.At least the South african healt department could have issued this to their High commission in Nigeria regarding WHAT type of Yellow fever vacinnation is PERMISSIBLE.No record here that shows or prove that. -One of the passengers, Olaminde Olaofe, told NAN that they obtained their cards from government authorised health agencies in Nigeria and added: ``This is very embarrassing and dehumanising. ``It is an embarrassment not to us as passengers alone but to the Federal Government of Nigeria that another country will say the document we, as Nigerians, obtained in our country is fake. ``We had arrived here about 5.30 a.m. and until now we are still kept at the airport by the immigration officer under the claim that our yellow fever cards are not recognised. ``Some of us are not first time travellers to South Africa and we had used the same yellow card before to enter the country. ``I obtained my card from Eti-Osa Local Government along with my brother. While I am allowed entry, my brother is held by the immigration people.’’ And another ``The South Africa Immigration and Port Health are saying that they don’t recognise the yellow cards and that signature on the cards are irregular. ` And to buttress my point on why there was no proper notice issued in advance -``Many of our Nigerian passengers have been detained and refused entry into the country in the recent month. ``The Port Health authorities cite as being incorrect or unrecognised batch number on the documentation which is mandatory proof before entrance to the country.’’ And yet another -``Arik have reached the conclusion that the irregular and obfuscating nature of this protocol If this was not meant to be a A STYLISH CONTROL MEASURE IN PREVENTING NIGERIANS and some other west African countries nationals from entering their country,then why not simply UPTIGHT your visa requirements and use that as a control measure?.But no,they would rather not loose all the visa application fees and Repartration deposits,in some cases, which they hardly return on time as promised. Personally,i think while the "issue is been resolved between the two commissions" The health and Immigration dept at MMA too should mete out same measure with south african nationals coming in for whatever reason,by demanding their HIV HEALTH STATUS before been allowed in. Whats good for the goose is also good for the gander. South African government too have business investments in Nigeria. |

Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by Litmus: 3:28pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
what respect? How many South Africans come to Nigeria to work or study? Imagine University of Capetown is in top 100 in the world and will send a student on exchange to University of Ibadan ranked in about 6000 ? O r which Nigerian company have working standard like in South Africa? I'm kinda curious, all these Africans who have graduated from African Universities thousands of league places above Nigerian universities, what stride of note have they attained in the world. Can someone please show me the bright sparks, (black male or female) from one of these universities currently doing something of note or innovative in the world of engineering, bio-medicine, research etc? Personally, i find the idea of going to South Africa repulsive--- |
Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by Thespecialone(m): 3:42pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
I have it on good authority that most of those Nigerians on that particular flight had dagbo yellow cards. That's why some were allowed entry and others denied. |

Re: Nigerian Passengers Denied Entry Into South Africa by jidewin(m): 3:48pm On Mar 03, 2012 |
As at late January,If you are using "DAGBO"yellow fever certifcate,your application will be turned down and visa denied.Unless you carry waka go eti osa local govt office go kollkt officially wey dem go stamp (i write am so for only my kontrimen) and sign the pages appropriately. So with dagbo yellow certi, no visa o. |

jidewin:probably they paid for the sins of others. If you must know, some passengers were not allowed to board last night because of this yellow card issue. |
