Nigerians dont value wat they have until they missed them. due to the corona virus all doctors in Nigeria are important, immediately after the pandemic all our politicians will start travelling to london, usa, germany for treatment and forget the doctors here who helped during the pandemic. #rubbish

UK does not do visa on arrival with nigeria.When i was making plans to travel to dominica i used uk as a transit point.I was sent a visa waiver from dominica but since i was passing through the uk i had to apply for a uk transit visa.It was only when i arrived in dominica that i was able to apply and get their visa.Some of my colleagues who cam to dominica through brazil and venezeula didnt use a visa.But a country like the uk if u coming from nigeria u need a visa otherwise u are sent back.these are medical doctors and they are supposed to know this since they are educated..or again maybe the uk has changed the travelling laws since the advent of this corona but then if the uk did change their travelling law then i am sure the nigerian immigration ought to be aware of this.
Lefu.. They changed the law for those Drs, check the NHIS website.. Nigerian immigration people don't read

This is a case of when trees are falling in the forest baby monkey was seen rejoicing and the mum shook her head and say.

IT SEEMS AS IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRAVELLED OUT OF NIGERIA SINCE YOU WERE BORN. THE AIRLINE IS NOT EVEN SUPPOSE TO LET THEM TRAVEL FOR NOT HAVING A VALID UK VISA STAMPED ON THEIR NIGERIA PASSPORT. IF THEY HAD MADE IT TO THE UK, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN DEPORTED ON ARRIVAL AND THE AIRLINE HEAVILY FINED. THE ONLY WAY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IS IF THE UK IMMIGRATION ALREADY HAD A WAVIER FOR THEM IN PLACE DUE TO NEED OF DOCTORS AS A RESULT OF COVID-19.

Isn’t it the job of the country of entry to worry about the visa thing? Or does the Nigerian immigration issue U.K visas?

I partially understand your point but I wish you were not so hardened in your thoughts. Nigeria do not have a visa on arrival agreement with UK government. If there was diplomatic communication between the two countries, that can be understandable or at the worst, they have a note verbale. Anyway, Nigerian doctors are almost trained free in Nigeria. In US, you can spend $400,000 to $1,000,000 to train as a doctor. That should also be considered when you talk of salary difference. Doctors are the most elevated public officials in Nigeria. When graduate starts the civil service at grade level 7, Doctors starts as a principal officer level of Grade level 12. It will take you 16 to 20 years to get to that level when you are a graduate of other disciplines. I am trying to remove emotions from my thoughts. I am not jealous. All my siblings and their wives are doctors.
Whether your whole family members are Dr doesn't rule out your biased opinion afterall those who criticise them also have one or two relatives who are Drs... I'm sure u have one or two relatives abroad, why are they not in Nigeria rendering the service they studied, because according to u the FG subsidised education or the government only subsidised those of Drs alone?

The reasons given are valid. Have you been refused entry before? It is back to Nigeria. They should have had their travel documents complete.

The flight originated from UK.
UK government cannot employ an agency to airlift people again?
Thanks for your concern but word from the grapevine is that the issue has been settled and they will still leave over the weekend.
Unlike Nigeria the doctors will be going to a place where they will be appreciated.
I have a friend who got the letter informing him of the flight arrangements and the visa waiver a few weeks back.
Another one quietly left two months ago.

Same process was done for doctors in Zimbabwe last week.

Nigerian youths are the most corrupt set of youths. Just look at the moments above. 98% are against the NIS without giving attention to the abnormal arrangement by the doctors. Is it not said that he who must come to equity must come with clean hands? Why should the doctors be allowed to travel without visa when a mechanic can't travel without visa?
Had it been they departed successfully and got arrested in UK for entering without visa, these same Nigerian youths would have be online accusing Buhari's administration of double standard/corruption for allowing 56 Nigerian travel without visa at a time when it claim to have restriction of international movement in place.
