Why Are All African Countries Not Visa Free? by Evilthoughts: 10:30am On Oct 19, 2023
Why are these stupid African leaders not demanding visa free travels across Africa? Why are we paying money to visit each other as African brothers Africans should be moving freely in Africa without needing papers and other useless discrimination.

You think countries with better working systems will want that. We all know the countries that will suffer if that happens and the ones that will be happy.
You are dreaming or really having evil thoughts cheesy. It sounds like a nice idea on paper,but it would be a disaster if actually practiced. Not all Africans are the same and not all countries in Africa have the same level of development like Europe.

What yeye development are you talking about when all African countries have poverty and corruption . The AU should enforce this idea, if any country doesn't want then we kick them out of AU period. Why should we discriminate against ourselves. Rubbish.

Yes, all African countries have poverty and corruption. Others more than others, but you will be naive to think that those with better development indices and better welfare for their people will accept visa free travel to their countries. The reality is that West Africa will be almost empty and the North and Southern Africa would be congested and violence would ensue. That's just a reality but you're allowed to dream. AU is a useless organisation that is mostly sponsored by Nigeria and South Africa and I know that the South Africans would rather leave the AU than allow visa free travel for most African countries and their neighbours Botswana and Namibia would follow them .

With your Canada papers you are still Nigerian. Why are Yorubas such betrayers . You are insulting your own country because of stupid xenophobia? Who want to invade shitthole countries?. You even list Nigeria with all these fairly used shittholes thinking you're funny ? Why do you celebrate the discrimination of fellow African nations . You see why the black is failing. Other continents are uniting and can walk in any part of their continent and stay without paper but in this useless continent you have to produce paper to stay . The level of hate is too much. I agree with the op even though he can be stupid. If any country doesn't want visa free they should be chased out of the Uniion of Africa. What nonsense.

i never said I wasn’t Nigerian . Forget sentiments the countries I listed have high numbers of their people in other african countries. How many Kenyans are in Nigeria vs Nigerians in Kenya. How many South Africans are in Nigeria vs the other way round. You cant go about constituting nuisance in another man country and want them to over look as per African brothers. What a stupid and myopic way of thinking .

Look at what Nigerians are doing in Ghana that is visa free. Using it as yahoo haven and importing boys to come learn yahoo . South Africa doing drugs and pimping their girls. Abeg Gerahere

You're the myopic one here. Do those countries not have indigenes committing crime and constituting a nuisance, it's only Nigerians doing crime over there you are daft. You think those people don't migrate to Nigeria and constitute a nuisance here?. You know how many banku selling Ghanaians we have here in lagos, they are everywhere . You know how many South Africans are loitering in Abuja and Lagos You are not exposed to reality but Yorubas are usually closed minded so I don't blame you to be dunce is your nature. The reason we don't make noise when these people migrate here is because we believe all black African should move anywhere they want in Africa without restrictions or discrimination. We are free nation not evil like them.

I don't know if you're ok up there or just trolling. Yes, every country has under developed places and poverty but the levels differ. For instance countries like South Africa and Namibia have a welfare system where their unemployed people get paid monthly stipend. Also there is monthly payments for children of unemployed , elderly and disabled people. How many other African countries have such for their citizens?.

The government also builds houses for poor people living in slums and pays for their education from primary to University in these countries, that's what I mean by welfare of citizens. Should we talk about the free quality health care for all citizens?. This is why you won't see people from such countries hustling for visas, they don't care to move because their countries cater for them. But countries like Naija, Somalia, Ethiopia and them have lots of people who want to migrate because there are no such privileges for citizens. It will be worse now that Tinubu is ending everything subsidy .

No need for sentiments here. The reality is that countries where things work better are always preferred destinations for migrants and countries like Naija are always shunned. So if you think countries like Tunisia , Algeria ,Egypt and the others I mentioned will allow visa free entry for other Africans,you're not serious bro. They'd be shooting themselves on the foot as many Africans will rush there and constitute a nuisance. Visa free Africa cannot work in Africa because there are few developed countries and they'd be overwhelmed by the citizens of the majority chaotic ones.

I STRONGLY doubt that South Africans would be loitering in Lagos and Abuja. For what? They have not loitered Namibia, it is Nigeria? Black South Africans and White South Africans enter via structured work visas and if they must leave their country, they are heading to the UK, Netherlands, USA or elsewhere. Black South Africans are Africa's African Americans. They have pride o

Those ones would rather die than allow black Africans into their countries. Egypt never accept Palestinians, na black people from Sierra Leone and DRC dem want? The naive belief by OP and his other stoopid follower that borders should be open is ridiculously stoopid! How many of them will gladly accept Nigeriens into their houses? How many would be welcome a Haitian into their abode? How many will open their doors to Yemenis? But they want Bostwana, Namibia and South Africa to do the same? NEVER!

If you want a visa free country, advocate for your country to be prosperous. That is it! In fact, when Nigeria was doing well, we chased Ghanaians aka Ghana must go. If Nigeria becomes as rich as present day Malaysia, Nigerians will discrminate against foreigners openly. Blacks tend to be toxic in their racism than whites. I am even projecting too far, is it not in Nigeria others are told to go back to Anambra? What about Fashola who deported Nigerians within Nigeria in 2014? Or the Akwa Ibom state government that deported beggars back to Taraba?

In summary:
Gerrard59:
The strength of the passport helps and for a country to have a strong passport, she must have attained some sort of wealth thereby making her citizens rich/middle class. Yet again, using the Maslow Hierarchy of Need, survival comes first and statistically, most black dominated countries are poor thereby making black people to be the poorest globally of all races. Using that Maslow's rank, you don't expect a poor person to indulge in things like travelling and sightseeing. Na when person don chop belly full, the person go begin dey think of traveling. And for these persons to travel freely without checks here and there, they need a strong passport. But how can the passport be strong when they are poor? Look at the Chinese, when they were poor, they travelled less but now that they are rich, they dominate the tourism market globally that countries dependent on tourism were fearful of the lockdown in China when coronavirus started spreading like wildfire. Same concerns in the higher education industry as most foreign students these days are Chinese (it takes rich people to effortlessly pay tuition fees of >$£30, 000). Another example was when Saudi Arabia revamped her visa rules, she listed China who has tortured more Muslims yet did not include a SINGLE African country including Nigeria which has the highest population of Muslims in Sub-Saharan Africa. In summary, for there to be more black people not necessarily less white people (the advent of Chinese travellers hasn't stopped whites from travelling) travelling, black people have to be rich. When that happens, our passports would be strong, we would achieve the highest point of Maslow's rank and then travel.

You're not making sense. Which places have you been to in Abuja and Lagos Even in Anambra you can find these useless South African trying to hustle here in Naija but jealous of us to come to their country. Black South Africans are the most poor useless Africans with jealousy and hate . They think their country is better but it's a stupid idea their leaders gave them. You're not well, they are African Americans in Africa grin but both are very useless and poor than us

Useless liar , so you want to make us think an unemployment and crime country like South Africa has all these things with their poverty and illiteracy? Useless talk. I know you're frustrated because of the useless APC but you don't need to create lies to promote other shttholes over Nigeria. If these countries don't want other African in their countries then they must leave the African union and form their xenophobic union. Rubbish.
