Mass Deportation From South Africa: Another Sign Of Nigeria’s Fading Glory!

The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, has observed with uneasiness, the deportation of 125 Nigerian citizens on the excuse of possession of Yellow fever vaccine Certificates that were not genuine.
Ordinarily, it is part of the rights of any sovereign Nation to make discretionary requirements for the procurement of its visa. What is irregular  in this case was that the presentation of the yellow fever certificate is sine qua non to the issuance of the South African visa; the hapless Nigerians (including Children on excursion) were subjected to humiliating ordeal at the South African port of entry with ‘no food’, ‘no water’ for up to 24 hours before their formal deportation.



It is our view that this is an ostensible reason and not the underlying motive for this cruel action by the South African authority. With the probability of error tilting more on the negligence of the South African embassy staff and not the Nigerians validly issued visa, the South African authority could have saved the day by offering inoculation service for a fee; the humiliating treatment of the Nigerians was odious and therefore, unacceptable!

What is inevitably playing out is the shambolic foreign policy thrust of the Nigerian state in recent times. The preponderance of Ambassadorial positions had, largely, been used for obsequious partisan patronage with no regard for professionalism and competence. The subsisting foreign policy of the country, anchored on Africa as its center piece, needs to be appraised. Nigeria and Nigerians’ interests ought to be the center piece of the Nation’s foreign policy thrust. The maturation of the Nation’s electoral process is still at the unenviable level where incumbents seek to win at all costs with the attendant thuggish distortion and disruption. This, obviously, vitiates the ‘big-brother’ status of Nigeria in the African continent.

The principle of reciprocity is a potent foreign relations instrument that Nations employ to assert their sovereignty and craving for respectability. Whilst the South African state had, in the past, unleashed this regime of Yellow Card inspection on intending Nigerian visitors (despite the WHO’s  certification of Nigeria as  free from Yellow fever), it is vitally important that intending South African visitors to Nigeria should henceforth be  certified free from the prevalent diseases in South Africa like HIV and Tuberculosis.

Finally, it is our considered opinion that, as part of the mutually agreed settlement of this furore, the South African authority must adequately compensate these traumatized Nigerians that have been so shabbily treated!





God bless Nigeria.

I see no issues with reciprocity as regards the Yellow card requirement.

Hence forth All Southern African countries should certify they are HIV negative to enter the shores of the country.

Its only fair in this case. !!1

Or through Niger international airport another common rival
If given the chance, switch off the light at arrival and order the passengers to trek from tarmac C11 to entrance and check their yellow fever card and hiv/ clearance card . Any one not stamped today shall be rejected Seize the medical card and bounce the person with the intention of verifying the legitimacy etc

We still maintain our position na, we are still d GI ant of africa.

Abi o.

But our boys no dey try.

The other I went to SA, see how Naija guys were avoiding two Whites South Africans over the counter for fear of detecting fake documents like yellow card. 

Omo come see how the black guys queue long as if they were paying our men for staying on the queue. Everyone know that the Blacks can comprise but not the Whites.

Something must be wrong with Black Africans.

"Nigeria’s Fading Glory!?"

What a bunch of unpatriotic id!ots those CPC people are.

Everything about CPC is about declaring Nigeria to be a disgusting thing.
If they are so bitter about losing the last elections that they are so willing to always identfy with negativity, then they might as well leave the country and become Ghanaians, Togolese or Chadians.

Re: Mass Deportation From South Africa: Another Sign Of Nigeria’s Fading Glory!

Dude, this aint no sign of "Nigeria's fading glory," this is evidence of Nigeria's faded glory! The most obvious "Sign of Nigeria's Fading Glory," was the gradual sinking into extinction of the entire manufacturing sector of a country with about 150 Mill people. How many countries with "glory" do you know of that have an extinct industrial manufacturing sector?

[size=14pt]FG:It's now ti.t for tat with South Africa[/size]

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/fg-it-s-now-Bosom-for-tat-with-south-africa/110850/

As at yesterday,officers of the NIS have deported a total of 94 South Africans.I hope more of their numbers were shipped right back from the airports  SA today to equalise the score.

Mr President has shown that he is independent-minded,and he is ready for do-me-I-do-you tango with any nation state that crosses the line.The concerned cabinet ministers have been so briefed,that's why BA and the authorities of Heathrow airport were made to swallow the bitter pill of do-me-I-do-you and were forced to implement the spirit and letter of the BASA signed between the two nations.

Come to think of it,it's SA that stands to lose more in this scenario as most Nigerians that go to SA,either do so to "hustle" i.e work independently,create jobs there;whether legit or otherwise,most are just tourists,very few are students or white collar workers.
On the other hand however,over 80% of South Africans that come to Nigeria,actually come to take jobs that better qualified Nigerians should have had,they abuse Nigeria's expat quota regime and bring in half-baked "professionals"( I still remember some two dudes from SA that worked as regional managers for one major telco TSP between 2002 and 2007,one of them was a plumber,while the other was a pig farmer) to come and occupy the very top positions in most telco,hospitality,aviation etc companies,simply because those companies are from SA and have found a way of exploiting our free investment climate that has ensured that most businesses that are struggling in SA have become global players simply because of the volume of turn over from their Nigerian outlets.

Fading Glory

More like good competition.

Now that there is a new player on the African scene vis a vis economic and political dominance, it will surely push the Nigerian govt to sit up and start doing things properly


If you ask me its good for the country. If you can't hang then fade out!!
