Well, there is rumoured information (which I cannot confirm...it may be false) floating that these people were charged N700,000 for the flight and an extra 297,000 for accommodation and feeding. A scandal was brewing and that is probably why they have hurriedly cooked up this new arrangement.

Well what really happened is this.
The first set of people came back from UK (I have a family member on the flight). The govt charged them 425 pounds. They then put them up in nice hotel in Abuja. After doing the same for another set of people I think from the US, they quickly realized that the govt can't afford to keep doing this for all the expected 4000 people they were expecting. That's when the proposed to charge them for hotel and feeding. Then people started to complain hence the new step.
Bad policy idea from scratch. Should have tested them and let them go to self isolate if negative. Then you keep the positive ones in isolation centers.

Is there no section set aside for this kind of cases....
Minister of Humanitarian and Disaster should handle this issue and not a Collabo like there is specific office for this case....

Ok.

They should have never proposed to housed them once they get back here. Fly them in, test them and if negative - bye go home.
If positive then isolate them int the isolation centers. End of story. This is a complete waste of scare resources.

It's not everything you must complain about.

There are issues you see and you just move along.

Just because the idea isn't one you might have taken doesn't make it wrong.

Majority of the so-called returnees repatriate billions of dollars annually into the Nigerian economy.

1 billion Naira in a thousand years is not too much to spend on them.


Not majority but 100% of US citizens pay tax to the US government wherever in the world they work, yet US still charged them top dollar for plane tickets.

But they can't fund palliative for Nigerians who have remained in Nigeria thru thick and thin.
Imagine o, CBN and NNPC didn't think of a way out for us here in Nigeria, they just locked us up like prisoners, but they have money for people coming from abroad. Eye service things.

I don't like this type of stories





Some of these guys left the country for where they think is better than this country




They wanted greener pastures



U can't use the tax of those who stayed put to endure to feed those who ran away to seek greener pastures




If they ran away before, they will run away again.

Bro i thought someone has already explained to you. No need dey drag this simple health matter.

Firstly, as safety measure all returnees must undergo compulsory 2weeks quarantine where they are to be tested twice- at the beginning an after two weeks. Upon two negative results they can go home

Most states & countries follow this safety procedure. Turkey is presently accomadating thousands of returnees in Ankara & Istanbul.

Secondly, when it comes to health, no money is too small to spend for a responsible govt to take care of her citizens. Govts all over are doling out billions & trillions of dollars to fight this pandemic.

Don't just generalise. Most of these evacuees are students, traders and business men. I know someone who's presently stuck in the UK, he went on brief business trip but got caught down.

Minister of foreign affairs + GMD of NNPC + Governor of CBN. Collaboration of 3 looters.

Over a billion naira to isolate and feed returnees that will not be up to 1000 in number?
Then you will isolate and abandon them in freely donated facilities for 14 days. Clowns.
which America? They charged for flight and you are required to self quarantine in your home and feed yourself. You can’t trust Nigerians with self quarantine as flouting rules is the order of the day

Covid-19 donations checklist of donors went up in flames just before Kyari kicked the bucket.
Guess he took a substantial amount of the money with him to the other side as a potential benevolent ancestor. Boy, you can never tell

No clarification there. Nigerian govt officials can't just do that like that. They must have cuts from the hotels or they own them.

Funding returnees and refusing to fund poor Nigerians that have remained in the country and added value to the system. It will never be well with Nigeria.
