Negotiations between Barbados, the Africa Export-Import Bank, and Air Peace could lead to the commencement of a direct route between Barbados and Nigeria as soon as the second half of the year.

Barbados' Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Ambassador, David Comissiong, disclosed that negotiations between the Africa Export-Import Bank and Nigeria's Air Peace were going well. If successful, the island could see the commencement of the direct route to Africa.

Speaking to the media at an event to celebrate Ghana's 66th Anniversary at Ilaro Court recently, the ambassador described the multi-billion-dollar bank as an African partner of real substance and resources. Afreximbank is a pan-African multilateral trade finance institution headquartered in Cairo, Egypt.

The ambassador stressed that the bank had been partnering with the island and negotiating with the African airlines to make flights from the continent a reality. Although the deal has not been sealed, David Comissiong said he was looking forward to the start of the twice-weekly flight from Lagos.

When we have a president like Tinubu, expect even more scrutiny. Its a good thing many of you Nigerians voted in what is befalling us today.
Above all, GOD bless Air Peace.
Proudly Igbo!

This shit has been going on for years and it would have nothing to do with Tinubu that has not made a single national policy (not like I am his fan). Nigerians are the problem. We misbehave too much and any country that allows us to enter in our numbers, we degrade. We are the problem.

Barbados is among the visa free countries for Nigerians, but like some other countries that claim visa free or visa on arrival, you are subjected to scrutiny and unending questions at the POE. It is however a good spot for vacation, not HUSTLE.
