So, is this thing true for real? I need to be in that UK before the end of this year and I ain't got no 3000 pounds to pay. What exactly are these people on about? |

MAYOWAAK: 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.Just send their airlines packing and youw ill get result or reduce their routes to only kano and drop lagos,abuja,porthharcouth and enugu.The will beg |

alarm4: i have a dream that one day Rooney will play for Eyinmba FC.... Keep day-dreaming, its not a crime 2 do so. @Op, if this retaliation of a thing takes anoda turn, I wonder if its d brits or Nigerian dat would suffer most. Btw, hw many of them are queuing and clamouring 4 naija visa d way Nigerians are killing demselves 2 obtain a UK visa? Truth b told, a lot of Nigerians are messing up their country for dem and they are tired of it. Period! |

The Nigerian government has always operated a reciprocal system, for example an American can get a maximum of 2 years visa because that is what they give us. It's not a new thing it's standard operating procedure. So if the require a bond from us we will require one from them. The basic difference between the Nigerian going to London and the brit coming to lagos is that the Nigerian is going to spend money and the brit is coming to earn money. The British government will backtrack after 3-6 months when they see that they are the ones losing out not us. Plus £3,000 is nothing to the man who wants to disappear and get lost in London. 1 Like |

Well, to me the best retaliation is for us to develop our country just like UAE, China and Japan. Then the UK citizens would be seeking our visa the way they seek that of UAE, China and Japan. 1 Like |

Re: FG Will Retaliate Against UK Visa Bond by letibab(f): 1:18pm On Aug 01, 2013 |
Whenever the conservatives are in power in the UK they always target immigrants from these countries.The requirement for prior visa before going to UK from these countries was introduced by a Tory government in the 1980s. And now this! Talk about racism or discrimination! They are all third world countries and the policy has everything to do with skin colour and relative poverty of tourists from these countries. One might ask what is the benefit of being in the Commonwealth which Britain is the traditional Head? Nigeria should get out of that old relics of colonial mentality. There are better equipped industrial powers that Nigeria can do business with and should shun UK. But do slap the same restrictions on UK! |

shame on Nigeria.so they are trying to get our best brains and all our rich people but deny the average Nigerian. why is Nigeria tolerating all these poor terorists chadians,cotonu people and Ghanians-we have tens of millions of poverty stricken people in Nigeria,still we allow more poor dumb people into Nigeria...what a country. |
Re: FG Will Retaliate Against UK Visa Bond by wayodude(m): 2:24pm On Aug 01, 2013 |
Its good to be patriotic but lets face facts: Do Nigerians in their 10s of thousands grossly misuse their visas to the UK or not? Keep to topic and reply.... The countries listed most especially India, Pakistan and Nigeria dont have any leg to stand on. The are indeed the highest risk countries with regards to legal migrants and visitors turning to illegal by overstaying. Whether taking a bond from travellers is best approach to manage the situation ..me i no know sha. Maybe our govt can try to discourage our people from breaching their visas conditions and always trying to beat the system everywhere they go. That would surely help. We are in the middle of rebranding abi no be so? |
Re: FG Will Retaliate Against UK Visa Bond by PureNigerian: 2:36pm On Aug 01, 2013 |
@bloggernaija: True talk @mankand: God bless you. In the 60s and early 80s we didn't need a visa to the UK, ask yourselves what changed. How many UK citizens have over stayed their visit to Nigeria? You obtain a UK visa for 2 weeks and stay there for ten years committing all kinds get rich quick crimes and they propose a measure to check against such vises and you are here talking about retaliation. Then you now have a confused government (GEJ) that think upside down and says the best solution is to support criminality. If you support the government of Nigeria on this then you are supporting the Chinese, the Indians, the Lebanese and all others nationalities that live in Nigeria with expired visas. Why not ask your government to build institutions that will stop the exodus of Nigerians to foreign land. We always like to lay blame where it doesn't belong. With this kind of attitude, Nigeria will never move forward. Or is it that only Nigerians visit UK from Africa. |

It is harder to get a Nigerian visa than an American #fact. If you don't believe me ask around. |

gboss4sure: I do not hate.the word is dislike. I dislike people who are corrupt,myopic and people who deflect their inadequacy unto others. FACT-nigeria has more dollar billionaires than Britain.nigeria has more natural resources than Britain .yet many Nigerians jump on planes to travel to the United Kingdom . What is holding us back? The kind of leaders. Now how do you expect me to respect someone who goes to china(a third world 30yrs ago) to prostrate and beg for money to sweep his own street.money he will probably spend a significant chunk eating. If you want to be a slave ,go ahead But there is dignity in not being a perpetual achohlic debtor especially when you have enough to fix your own roof . That is one thing OBJ did well which blunts some of his own inadequacies. He passed on a good credit balance to GEJ and Yar adua.the only thing they had to do was build on it and start the task of nation building. The only thing they have succeeded in doing is to hire paid agents to troll social networks ,fan the embers of ethnic hatred ,and insult people. By the way,I am socially liberal and a fiscal conservative .so anyone whose selling point is to utilise religion as a weapon or who goes borrowing for no reason but due to his lack of essential leadership qualities ,is a no no for me. 1 Like |

I think the best retaliatory measure should be directed at shell which i think is the british greatest interest in nigeria. We should use the inability of shell to stop gas flaring which is a crime in nigeria to deal with the british. A stiffer penalty should be imposed on them. |

HNosegbe: 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.Great point..... Was thinking along same line too |

Re: FG Will Retaliate Against UK Visa Bond by Nobody: 5:20pm On Aug 01, 2013 |
This makes it all seem like a child's play. Even though the UK needs this to cut down illegal immigration, the policy is very discriminatory. I just hope our government will hit them at the spot where it will hurt, but then do we have the same immigration issues as the UK? Will placing some restrictions on UK citizens spell well for the Nigerian economy? I don't want anything to backfire o. This is why we really need to do away with the rot in our system. Nigerians wouldn't have to run helter-skelter outside the continent in search for greener pastures if things are in order here. |

so Nigeria plans to retaliate....lmao....what are you planning to use to retaliate?......the brits that come here come with your money and they would leave with more of your money.....the only way you can retaliate is making the country better than uk.....which unfortunately is impossible.....better parly with them to reduce the bond at least that way the illegals could still go and it would help reduce the number unemployed peeps |

It's not a new thing it's standard operating procedure. So if the require a bond from us we will require one from them.pls pray tell how the brits would lose out at the end? They will now get 3k pounds for Illegal migrants who thronged their shores for free before and as for the bonds they get to pay sure they would get it back as the only way they can overstay is if they get kidnapped....funny thing is bond or no bond, any brit that stays here for 2 yrs would most likely fuel his life for 22 months....I believe thats sufficient punishment.......abeg make I go buy fuel for my gen jare |
