A case of Cut your nose to spite your face. Few Canadians come to Nigeria. It’s only Nigerians living there that will be hurt by these knucklehead tit for tat.

Also, Air Canada doesn’t fly to Nigeria anyway. So this announcement is just random noise. Naija government needs to take its head out of its ass before announcing policies.

What is Nigeria gaining from Canada apart from severe brain drain and forex flight?

When you come to that answer, then you will realise who owns the balance of power.

Iro na ni gbogbo e

They remember that na Uk Buhari hospital dey oooo

justosee:
This is the only good thing Buhari has done. How can those who brought Covid-19 be banning us from going to their countries? Africa need to wake up.

It has not been done oo Let's wait and see I don't remember Canada and UK announcing their intentions before taking actions like this.

ShenTeh:


Please stop quoting that guy.

Each time I read anything and wonder at the stupidity of the post, I checked the moniker to find it is the exact same low-IQ spamming the place with the same junk.

Quoting him only urges him on.

It's agonizing bro. You would think easy access to information would help literacy but nah we just have lots of misinformed people happily swimming in ignorance.

One has to chip in once in a while else Nairaland would just be filled with such misinformation and the sad thing is lots of young impressionable people come here for information and such gibberish might actually shape their thoughts if not corrected.

Those countries did not announced before placing Nigeria on red alert.

Exactly.. I can't believe I'm proud of bubu just this once tho. They have more omicron cases yet they're placing us on the red list. Fvcking colonialists

SirLakes:

I'm feeding myself without his 30k stipend to act silly online and offline.

The only thing you depend on in this life is their 30k monthly stipend. When he's out of office how will you feed yourself?

Eeeeya pele

Comment like this is the reason why you are not making progress in life except on nairaland. Amend your negative say. Mr President is a fulfilled in life, he has achieved it all in life. What have u achieved in life aside wailing? Note it's no longer 30K, it's now 34K mumu

Jesusdiedhaha:
Nigeria dey place Canada and UK for red list.

Will heaven fall?

Make e no end there o. They should ban any Nigerian with UK or Canada visa from attempting to leave the country. Make everyone stay him papa house!

Jesusdiedhaha:
Nigeria dey place Canada and UK for red list.

Sure. They are not feeding us.

DoggoneDogg:
I actually support this.

Those whites always feel only they matter. They want to force their evil vaccine on Africans and Nigeria seems ripe for them.

Ban them too. Nobody has the monopoly of madness.

Please when you finish banning them, don't also forget to ban the free vaccines that these countries donate to your country o. Then we will know you're serious. A beggar banning her benefactor. Lol

killmods:

Opinion of an illiterate who clearly doesn't know how the world works

Please tell them to ban the free vaccines they collect for free too. Yeye country

[/s]

If the vaccines work, why do the vaccinated need to protect themselves from the unvaccinated?

Do you avoid polio patients?

You are proud of truck driving and that's what you want to advertise and emphasize, that's all you can ever know.

can you defend your country from foreign invaders?

Go on enjoy truck driving.

ShenTeh:


Stop aggrandizing your folly.

Listen. Learn. Read. The more you talk the less you hide your puerile reasoning. It's ok to grow, but don't come dotting your faeces everywhere before you come of age.

Shut up already.

We are not taking any loan or vaccine from them. we received free vaccine from china. we dont beg western countries....

Type it in your language.

Jokers!

How many of their citizens fly to Nigeria compared to Nigerians that fly to their countries.

This has much impact on Nigeria & Nigerians. Nigeria depends on a good number of this countries for delivery of goods in a country that produces nothing.

How many of their politicians have bank accounts in Nigerian banks but you'll definitely see a good number of Nigeria politicians that have accounts with stolen cash and properties in theirs (Lol...which they can seize)

Or the institutions Nigeria depend on for borrowing is mostly controlled by this developed countries.

Or OPEC that's controlled by Saudi Arabia on a commodity that drives revenue which goes on to fund Nigeria's budget.

Not a battle Nigeria can win.

Before I forget people should stop making reference to our population with almost 50% in extreme poverty and very low disposable income. A country of 50m with its citizens in mostly middle class is a better environment for a business investment

Nigeria is really a "Goner"

Story

What are they waiting for?

To me, this is a welcome development. I am a Nigerian based in the UK. COVID is a global issue. How many years will it take all these people to realise this? During the delta variant, the UK had to apply sense because they can't mess with the Indians. E reach Africa turn, you dey ban anyhow. People that are allowed to enter have to do covid test 24hrs before flights after which you quarantine them in a hotel with rubbish food for 10 nights out of which the person must have had another covid test in day 2 (all these for about N1.5m without cost of ticket). Is that not corporate kidnapping? No be juju be that? Why no let vaccinated people quarantine at home and for those not vaccinated, release them after day 2 if tested negative then reduce the money. By the time BA and virgin Atlantic hear am for their revenue, they will speak sense to them. Nigerians in the UK can't be stranded going by this. Qatar, Egypt air, air maroc dey there and they are way even cheaper than BA and virgin Atlantic.

It also shows the poor foresight of Nigerians in the UK.

British politicians of Nigerian origin are not pulling their weight compared to the Asians.

I really love this. Time for Nigeria to lead the way for the Africa continent

I kind of agree. This is however another topic entirely.

.
They banned us because they know that we don't have any kind of system in place to checkmate a new and more lethal variant. Nigerians , from the citizens up to the leaders have been acting like the pandemic was over . They see our dysfunctional system. They see how our dysfunctional system endangers them. They act to protect their citizens.
On the other hand, what has Nigerian government done to protect its citizens from any danger? Zero
Nigerian government only acts knerjerk to protect its own bruised ego, not protect its citizens. If the Nigerian government were sensitive to the plight of its citizens, it would carefully consider the impact a retaliatory measure would harm Nigeria citizens home and abroad.

Who told you it is not to protect nigerian citizens? Inferiority complex....

That is exactly the type of mentally indolent attitude that fuels the societal dysfunction that the world can see .

"“If they don’t allow our citizens to go into their countries who are their airlines coming to pick from our country?" - this does not sound to me like a knee jerk reaction at all.
