Top notch my foot! UK system is overrated, we re even better than them, forget the hype.

You are better than who? Joker!
Better than the UK yet Buhari has been going for check up in London.
Some of you pseudo-patriots don't realise that the Nigerian healthcare system is a joke.

That’s not how it’s done in all cases...
Most US citizens have had to pay for their tickets to return to the US.

Saw the Minister on TV asking NASS for possible funds for this...
However, Nigeria is NOT a rich country, but should be able to help ‘facilitate’ citizens’ returns.

For example, if a US citizen is stranded abroad (not necessarily for Covid)...
The US State Dept will buy a ticket, but void his passport upon return and only issue a new one after he repays.

Thanks for taking time to explain this, I saw his comment and thought "Really?"

We feel too entitled at times.

I thought as much, if you look at the counties most affected they're all below 20 degrees Celsius.

Ecuador, China, USA, Italy, Spain, UK, etc

Don't just believe what I said, Google “weather in *insert country*”

Just add them to the present number of cases in Nigeria. And that should be 364.

The Americans ferried out of Nigeria a few weeks back also had to pay for their flights, so your point is?

Don't mind him and the other guy who also posted something similar, how they expect the government to airlift people for free is beyond me.

Most times their problem is that they don't know and they don't want to know.

Am not here to drag words with you but what I want you to know is that it's better for them to remain there in the UK with a good health care system rather than bringing them back to Nigeria endangering others.

I hope you knew what happened to Italy and USA, trying to evacuate it citizens out of China, now they are the biggest hit in the world. So it's beta we manage the case we have at hand. Peace

The UK health system is overwhelmed, and no matter how great it seems they continue to report over 700 deaths daily. Some Nigerians even young ones have already died in the UK. If these people have decided to come back home, Then allow them. Better to die knowing you're amongst family and friends than to die lonely.
The nursing and medical care given to corona patients isn't rocket science. Those with severe disease even abroad also end up dying. Only 20% of those put on ventilators are lucky to come off it and the remaining 80% are allowed to die because they cannot be on ventilators for life. Infact, they will probably have better care here as we have less patients and probably more medical staff to give them better care.

Since you were born in this Nigeria till date, have you recieved any form of assistance from her? Your parents trained you from infant till adult age without any assistance from the government and how do you want her to help evacuate them now free? It can never happen. Our leaders are demon.

If it was for Buhari's daughter to write her project, the presidential plane will be made ready for her. Our leaders are demons in human form.

Is it possible to infect others if one is asymptotic? I tot its only when one has started manifesting that it becomes infectious?.

They should be brought back and taken straight into quarantine. The chances of getting over the virus are high here compared to that region where the temp. Is low.
God will heal them in Jesus name.
Re: COVID-19: 10 Nigerians Awaiting Evacuation From UK Test Positive by Gkemz: 7:11am On Apr 14, 2020
Why are they coming back home? To infect others in Nigeria. They should rather remain there and get proper treatment.

They have to stay there to avoid more cross infection. I mean both the positives and negatives. This is because the 'negatives' may be in thier incubation period and will later test positive more over there is better than 'Ngiriea'

You no get sense.
Nigerian were put into this message called lockdown due to Buhari failure to shut our airport, now you are here suggesting they pay for their flight into the country again.

If this crop of people can find their way into the country at this time.....it means Nigeria will still be shutdown for another 1month or so....pls if you no get sense,go and buy one,,,,mumu

Why should the government pay for their return tickets, they went there for their own business. So if there was no covid19 won't they return after their business.

-Until you find yourself stranded or in knots abroad, you will not understand that Nigeria is a scam. Unfortunately for this chaps, their maintenance funds must have finished or seriously depleted yet Nigeria wants them to pay for their flights back home. When we say, Nigeria doesn’t belong to all- this is it!
Oga even America ask their citizens to pay for their tickets before leaving Nigeria

[quote author=CoronaVirusPro post=88417879]If it's real Corona virus and not the malaria they treating in Naija, they better leave them there.

UK health system is top notch. If they take that flight, then they should be ready to face what comes after.

Nigerian doctors will only prescribe the usual, Antibiotics, pain reliever and blood tonic.

That's the cure for all ailments in Nigeria. Even HIV/AIDS.

Please don't quote me, I am not feeling fine. [/quoted]

See this one that wants to be comparing NHS with FMoHN or NCDC by the end of this month, NHS would be carrying out 100,000 covid-19 tests per day and your NCDC is just aiming for what, 5000?(Thank God you heard your presido say it yesterday).
You better be sure of what you're saying before you just come on here to yarn trailer loads of bollocks

leave emotions out of it, UK has a higher rate of infections than us for a start, inspite of their so called sophisticated medical system.

despite their water tight lockdown infection rates are significantly higher than Nigeria.

our bitter kola is working, if you re objective you would agree.
