Get your fact right.

Any test for travelling purposes which requires your passport information on the test results cost money, even here in Europe.

A PCR test cost about 75-100 Euro in Germany for travelling purposes.

And a rapid test skits around 2.75 euro per stick


While the Schenell test (Rapid) is free across all test centers in the city. But immediately you test positive with the rapid test, additional test is required which is the PCR test and you would get a bill to pay for it which your health insurance do not cover.

While I can comfortable tell you PCR nor rapid test not for travelling purposes in Nigeria are free, as well as the treatment, isolation centers etc.

I had covid in Europe some time around June 2021.

I have a valid health insurance where I paid 79 euro monthly.
But mehn the reality of the treatment of this virus in so called developed countries is nothing to write home about.

I was left alone, no medic, no treatment, no thing,was dieing, but does guys no send.. Thank you for a nairalander here far a from my city, who put a call for ambulance for me, even though I regret it later, but it was waste of money and total rubbish
I would have just say stay at home my thing jeje.

I developed complications one certain night, I had to call an ambulance with a help of a fellow here. and the return me back home the next few hours.

But after the following week, I got the following bills to pay

450 euro for the ambulance to the hospital
403 euro for the ambulance to my home
272 for the doctor in the ambulance
170 euro for the drip added to me.

And blantly the health insurance company ask me to foot the bill myself, it doesn't cover.. Am on my own.


Most people our Africans would pay for this test in Europe without questioning it, but when it comes to our countries just to protect us from this virus, we shout and calls all sort of names, while most folks come in with fake test results.

It's great the NCDC have made the permit travel compulsory for arriving passengers to Nigeria and its strict for a follow up test.


There are some certain things we won't know it's free in Nigeria and Nigeria is damn sweet no matter how hard life it, until we were out of the shore.
But many folks won't talk about it becos of the inferiority complex. While many are in the abroad, suffering and smiling.

GOD BLESS NAIJA

It's easy for us to make comparison without using the Relevant Data

Based on your Covid Expense it's a little above 1200 euros. Minimum Wage in the Same country is over 1500euros.

Simply put a lowest paid employee can pay for what you paid.

Now let's come home to Nigeria. Minimum wage is N30,000. Just Covid test is Above N50,000

Let's stop all this mediocre approach to garnishing poverty. Nigerians are suffering, standard/quality of living is low.

We subsidize Government ( Light , water, health,Road, Security, education ).

For a Country like Nigeria Government should bear the cost of Covid Test. SIMPLE

My brother, it is totally free here in Germany...there are designated places all over place where you present any valid ID.

I did my tests at a pharmacy...prior to getting vaccinated, I got tested there daily for 44 days stretch without getting charged a penny.

But you might be right to some extent, for international travels, most countries charge some money, but some don't

To the pharmacy or any test centrum in the Germany, just tell them you need a PCR test.

No COVID19 test is free period.... anywhere in the world. It's either the government is paying for it ..... your insurance company is paying for it ... or you have to pay out if pocket. COVID-19 vaccines .... same thing. This is business. In the US ... they are now rolling out "free" self testing kits ... up to 4 per family. The FG ordered them from whatever company. Masks ... the ones they mandated all along ... are no longer good enough... the FG has ordered millionsss of N95 type masks.... and will be distributing them "free" ... while running infomercials for people to get them. COVID-19 is a business platform.... run by big business ... customers fed by governments through COVID-19 mandates.

South Africa ..... 100% on board. Nigeria... maybe 5% max on board. US... fully onboard... calling the shots since they are the elite profiteers when it comes to this new industry. Nigeria is pretty much out of the COVID-19 circus .... one of the least vaccinated.... least boosted.... least follower of the protocols......and is one of the least affected nations. It is something we should be proud of.
