FG Will Retaliate Against UK Visa Bond by bcomputer101: 12:48am On Aug 01, 2013 |
THE Federal Government on Tuesday insisted on retaliatory action against British citizens if their government went ahead with its plan to impose a £3, 000 visa bond on visitors from Nigeria and five other Commonwealth countries. http://www.punchng.com/news/visa-bond-we-will-retaliate-fg-insists/ |

Otunba Gbenga Ashiru is the best Foreign Minister Nigeria has had since the time of Jaja Wachukwu. Nigeria became a laughing stock in the world principally because over the years,Nigerians and the country's interests were rudely violated by many countries without Nigeria raising a finger to complain. Until the South Africans were rudely surprised with the retaliatory deportations,Nigeria's foreign policy had lacked focus and teeth. I'm glad the FG will retaliate this singling out of Nigerian citizens for humiliation by the Brits.If nothing were done,the same policy would soon be copied by many countries that wish to exploit the fact that Nigerians visit their countries in large numbers. 40 Likes |

I never expected Cameron's Conservative government to backpedal with this policy. The move is clearly a political one to curry favour with his right-wing anti-immigration base. Cameron doesn't really care about limiting immigration (it's a senseless move, really) - he cares about winning the next elections. I would suggest that Nigeria liaise with India, Kenya, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on the possiblility of adopting a coordinated, multilateral approach to this issue. I think that would better achieve the desired effect than taking a unilateral retaliatory measure. Meanwhile, what are we still doing in the Commonwealth? 23 Likes |

Another reason we should not be part of the common wealth. I know that a lot of Nigerians abuse the system in Uk but did you know that there are more illegal migrants from Australia living in the UK but this discriminatory law will not apply to them for the simple reason they are white. I wake up every day and pray for God to change the situation in Nigeria because a lot of our people are victimized all over the world. 8 Likes |

As much as I support this move; I will still implore all the thieving public and civil servants to shun thieving, embezzling, misappropriation and focus on using the funds available to them judiciously, and coming up with innovative ideas as well... Reduce or better still stop religious fanaticism beef up serious security measures. These will reposition our economy and increase our infrastructural department... Thereby attracting better investors and reduce the need for our people to travel out in search of greener pastures. Are these so impossible to carry out? Bunch of fools at the top! 5 Likes |

Retaliate with what and against whom.this bond reveals the president's lack of international political clout . If he had one,all it would have taken is a phone call or cashing up on IOUs. This was something OBJ knew how to do very well . As we speak ,family members and girl friends of the political elites(those without a foreign passport) are probably prepping their £3000 bond for their next shopping trip to harrods. So who is deceiving who . 4 Likes |

Headless leaders leading biased and greedy citizens why not make your country liveable and conducive for your citizens I bet nobody in his or her right sense will be ready to pay such amount to the British thieves After they have drained this country and discover that it is impossible to suckling Nigeria dry because a mosquito cannot suckling dry the blood of anyone, they are deviating another means. The best the government can to to retaliate is to start setting up projects, improving the lives and standard of living in the country then give Nigeria 5 years, those running abroad will start running back.

Re: FG Will Retaliate Against UK Visa Bond by MAYOWAAK: 10:32am On Aug 01, 2013 |
To retaliate a country’s policies, you must have a corresponding amount of power to act. If Nigeria slams a £10,000 visa bond on the UK citizens, what other cards do we have to deal with if the country responds with another policy? Can Nigeria match them discrimination for discrimination, and xenophobia for xenophobia? Do they display as much desperation to come here as we do to their country? How many UK nationals want to visit Nigeria compared to the 180,000 Nigerians that apply to their country? Do they hold “Anointing for Visa” services in their churches like we do here? Do their citizens go to church to “praise God” and testify that they had been offered a visa to abandon their own country? We have been too true to Nietzsche’s observation: no one is such a bold liar as an indignant man. 23 Likes |

bloggernaija: Retaliate with what and against whom.this bond reveals the president's lack of international political clout . Your hatred for the president know no bound. So what would you say about the Presidents of the other 4 countries that the bond was imposed on?. This is a political decision based on the re-election of the uk's president do you really think a phone call could sort it out? By the way which Nigerian president has ever sorted any sort of issue with just a phone call. Try to buy some sense from the market and stop dragging the presidents name into every issue. 12 Likes |
