Oga Solicitor, how him even take get the visa enter in the first place? Who approve him visa? It even lends more credence to my assertion.

Possibly a hungry embassy employee in Serbia took 40 naira to issue that failed bogus visa that has now been revoked with immediate effect.

I believe the issue wasn't really about a player not taking the vaccine. But his status in the tournament and the implications of his decision not to be vaccinated on the fans yet to receive the jab.

He is world number1 tennis player, and might probably win the tournament if he competes.

Other players were fully vaccinated and if he without vaccination wins the tournament, this send a wrong message to the public that the vaccine is not necessary.

True

Oga, are you even following this case at all? Aren't you aware he is under investigation for
lying on his immigration form, where he claimed that he
hadn’t traveled within 14 days before landing in Australia,
when in fact he’d been in Spain the previous day?

He also tested positive for Covid 19 but went around for interviews and visited so many social gathering the next day instead of Isolating.

Most of the people that comment here don't even know the full details.

Just because he didn't take COVID19 vaccine. All this western countries with imposing coerce laws, why must he take it, as far he was tested negative. They just have leaders that write laws, and follow the laws like robots, forgetting the reason the law while the law was writing in the first place.


Those commenting up there, hailing the country, had it been it's Nigeria government that is imposing COVID19 vaccines on it's citizen, we won't here word, they will be waiting day and night

Read more about it instead of blabbing

He tested positive for covid 19 but still went for interviews and social gatherings without mask the next day instead of Isolating, he also lied several times

I was not aware of this fact, as I didn't keep up with it after he was initially detained. Thanks for the enlightenment. This makes Jakumo's derision clearer now.

It was NOT the Australian govt that gave him the exemption, it was the organizers of the Open! Of course the organizers want him to play in the tournament
And he wasn't turned back by Australian immigration officials at the airport?

What is coerce law biko? Oga, law is law, and nations have a right to make and enforce them at will. That’s the fundamental basis for stable and organised societies. You can’t decide which to obey and which to violate at the whim of your belief systems. That’s tantamount to chaos

The man is simply a selfish and arrogant f00l who thinks he’s superior to the nations laws and better than everyone else. They need to be deporting his ass already

Rule na Rule... yes he didn't take the vaccine and at the same time he refused to reveal his present status...

If a place say u have too... and he did whatt he thought he could and The PM said NO... then why break ur head on it...

Baba no ban Twitter even with all and all.. even international community put mouth for d matter... Baba no still gree shift lane...

There are better ways to go about this matter..

To me he embarrassed himself with pride.. even with the trash he did when he got covid in dec.. No isolation just dey party up and down... that is selfish... Boris is still fighting his own just because of this kind of mistake....

May we dey reason things sometimes!

In what way was he arrogant? Was it not the Australian government that granted him vaccine exemption before entering in the first place? Even their judge also ruled in his favor during the first appeal. So why inconsequential from the Australian government when they knew that everyone must be vaccinated? He wouldn't enter the country if no exemption was granted in the first place. And he's not the only top sport man not to have received the vaccine.
It's like most of you don't even know the build up to this news. You just open your browser and type junk.

Some of you are just busy talking trash of him breaking the law and nobody is above the law while you failed to ask yourself if the law was fair and just. When it comes to your health, one should not make law for you because it is your health. Studies have shown that the vaccinated are more been hospitalized. You can't force people against their wish and call it a law. Where is now the right to freedom. All kinds of human rights taught are all but a scam.

Rights are collective, no right or freedom is absolute if your right/freedom is a threat and danger to the health and safety of others you can not have it because your right is not superior to someone else's health and safety.

Where your rights end that is where someone else's right starts

It is a good decision so others will not take it as a joke

Abi. Funnily, he will likely be experiencing the same thing with the French as they have vaccine mandates too. I fear it is only the British for the Wimbledon Open that might give him an exemption, even the US for the US Open might not. So he has to get vaccinated and fast if he wants to continue competing as he is a role model to others and will set a bad example if he is not and competes.

That is why the Australian government couldn't take chances.

They are serious about vaccination in their country irrespective of who you are.

As should be in saner climes. They are obviously tired of burying people and how the serious hospitalizations of the unvaccinated is bogging down their healthcare system and leaving others with other ailments without care. Because let us face it, that is what is happening. Someone needs hospitalization in an hospital bed but that bed is filled by a Covid-19 patient who is a Covidiot and has refused to be vaccinated, is that not an inefficiency in the system we should not be seeing in saner climes but rather 3rd world countries? I rest my case.

You better stop disgracing your self with this arrogance of ignorance

You are talking to him? How would he know it is an important tournament when the sport he only knows is football? For his information, when Djokovic is no longer world number 1 after the tournament, he will realize how important the tournament is. Shior.
