It makes sense, just like Nigerians living abroad who have no health insurance are running back to Nigeria because they cannot have access to medical care.

Frankcallys:
Here in South Africa, the Americans, Germans, Koreans, Russians and Israeli are leaving the country to be with their family and loved ones. Their governments made solid plans and has been evacuating them in large numbers.

So, there is no cause for alarm. It's a normal procedure for a well functioning country (unlike ours Nigeria!!!) to evacuate their citizens in times like this. Our leaders that cannot even take proper care of those at home not to talk of those abroad �‍♂️Those ones na leaders?

I'm proudly Nigerian though
The actions of our leaders is highly embarrassing! Other nations evacuated their citizens from affected countries, but Nigerian leaders will never make such attempt. They thought the virus will remain in Wuhan, but today it is on our doorstep. A time will come when Nigeria would have smart leaders who will drive this nation to greater heights.

Geoffrey Onyeama, minister of foreign affairs, says there is no hidden agenda behind some countries evacuating their citizens from Nigeria.

At least, 637 Europeans were evacuated from Nigeria and Benin Republic on Thursday.

The move had left many wondering if there is a cause for alarm.

During the press briefing of the presidential task force on COVID-19 in Abuja on Friday, a journalist had asked Onyeama if leaving the country was an indictment on Nigeria’s health system, to which the minister responded that it’s not necessarily so.

Onyeama said those who had left did so did so to enable them make use of a system that they are familiar with, should the need arise.

He added that the diplomatic staff of most of the countries are still in Nigeria, and that hey have no plans of leaving.

“It is basically a case where people are more familiar with the health system in their various countries and so prefer to go to the various countries so in the event that they might have to be confined, they would be in more familiar surroundings and they would also have access to medical practitioners and facilities that they are used to,” Onyeama said.

“So, that is really the reason. And you will find that a large number of those countries evacuating citizens, that their heads of mission and ambassadors and other staff are still here in Nigeria and there are no plans of leaving.”


Foreigners are also being evacuated from South Africa, as advanced as their Healthcare system is.

They are leaving because Nigeria has poor health care facilities that cannot handle the coronarivus pandemic so it is best that they evacuate their citizens..

They are also evacuating their citizens from South Africa, so it's not about facilities.

When they are comfortable doing business here you're not concerned. Now, they aren't comfortable with your health system, don't you think you be should be more concerned that your healthcare system doesn't work. When are we going to get it right in this country?

story! the facts and truths are the whites are highly susceptible and have no tolerance for

Flu, fever, malaria all cousins of the SARS CoV-2

they all smoke excessively and develop respiratory issues esp TB & Asthma

so if they catch the bug here it's a certain death cos our med fac is a morgue.

imagine the whites living in a disorganised Nigeria with d pandemic on the loose! their chances are long gone should they be infected.

so oga is just been diplomatic and as expected.

if its Trump: you would av heard something like " we are not prepared and our system and practise cannot sustain a continuous fight or guarantee your safety and well being, we urge you all to take precautions and make the necessary arrangement to be with your respective govts n states.

but here window dressing till kasala burst

Liar. They know u don't have facilities to keep them alive. They know u are fools in Africa especially the African leaders. They know that ur senses are skewed. A normal human being will go out and plunder other people's wealth and bring it back to his own house, but African leaders plunder Africa and send it out for keeps in foreing banks for them to use. Most of the wealth never find their way back to Africa again. This is why the whites see u as fools. A white man once told me that we blacks don't have intellect, although I fought him physically for that racist comment, but is it a lie?

They left before Nigeria descends into chaos and lawlessness.

Most of my expat colleagues have left and one can't blame them. The only ones left are the former military personnel advising us on security.

The health systems are similar globally. The only difference is some staff are more skilled than others. What's this " system they arw familiar with" Bullshit. Say it as it is. Non functional hospitals, no equipment, and unprofessional health workers who would rathe grumble than work

The real reason is that Nigeria and some other African countries are about to be used as guinea pigs for the various covid vaccines being developed. So these western countries have to evacuate asap to save their citizens.

Just my speculation tho
Just got this but don't know how true it is.

Mr minister, it's still worrisome that foreigners would choose to go back to their corona ridden countries than remain in a relatively safe place.

Nigeria Government should as a matter of urgency reject in totality the installation of 5G this is the main causes of COVID19. And also reject testing of vaccine and reject also assistance from China �� with there medical doctors we don’t need them for now.

They are leaving because Nigeria does not have the capacity to handle any upsurge in outbreak of the virus. Where are the medical facilities on ground, how testing centres do we have? May God have mercy on Nigeria and intervene for us.
