The number of Nigerians that made it back to Nigeria drastically reduced following moves by the South African government to frustrate the evacuation efforts. Only about 187 adults and children were successfully evacuated on Wednesday as against the 320 Nigerians expected back home.

The flight arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, at 9.43pm.

One of the returnees, Uche Victor, told journalists that he left his wife who he said was a Cameronian and a young daughter behind. He said, “I’m bleeding because I left my wife and baby but I have to come back because my mother cries for me to return. If something happens to me she will suffer. I left my business, I came back with nothing. South Africans believe all Nigerians are drug pushers, but I don’t know the colour of any drug.”

Victor, who explained that he left Nigeria for South Africa in 2007, explained that the attacks were anger against the government. “They are only venting their anger on foreigners. They started with black and will move to whites,” he said.

According to him, the flight would have returned earlier but the South African government made it difficult. “The didn’t want us to go but for Nigeria’s consulate,” he added.

Another returnee from Abia State, who gave his name as Onuoha, said a lot of Nigerians were still stranded as they could not return with their properties.

Aliu Saheed, from Osun State, said his shop was burgled and he came back home empty-handed. “But I’m happy to be home, I’m not going back again,” he said.

S’A CANCELS VISAS ISSUED TO RETURNING NIGERIANS
One of our correspondents learnt that the South African authorities went further to cancel visas that were issued to the returning Nigerians. A picture on Facebook showed a Nigerian passport with a cancelled South African visa as of September 10.

The Chairman, Nigerian Diaspora Commission, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said there was 15 hours delay before the flight left South Africa. She had earlier told journalists that the South African authorities brought new immigration rules before the affected Nigerians could be allowed to board the aircraft.

According to Dabiri-Erewa, the Federal Government is giving N40,000 worth of airtime to last them for two months as well as stipend of N10,000 for transport. She also said there were plans for the Bank of Industry to provide some money for the returnees to start small businesses.

Meanwhile, the Chief Operating Officer of Air Peace, Mrs Toyin Olajide, said the evacuation would cost the airline about N300m. Olajide said the cost would include payment of passenger service charge, aeronautical and other charges.

buhari will never rig election for anybody, don't deceive yourself.

igbobuigbo:
These bend-down select traders I see in the video can't all be drug pushers. SA, what is your problem?
Frosbel2, why are you making this about Igbos? Any foreigner is a target and all are defending themselves. There are videos on Somalis also defending themselves as are Yorubas.

pickatyou:
Bello doesn't know it yet but he is about to be okorochaised .

yarimo:
You go dey gidigba when it will be like jet li movies for your eyes ,when YAHAYA BELLO will be sworn in as governor of Kogi State for the second time.

Father in heaven, this, just as other projects such as church universities that were erected with our offerings and donations yet are unable to access owing to the exorbitance of service/enrollment. Lord help them realize they need to cut down the price to a nearly free rate. Yes. Tithes, offerings, first seeds, donations, etc, never stops flowing. That can finance whatever deficit is incurred. The European missionaries built free schools and hospitals for us before independence. Nigeria has more of the richest pastors/ churches in the world. How come they can't do anything for their members for free?

seunmsg:
Why should we pay a $850 million to a very dubious company that never invested a kobo in Nigeria? How come some of you are so unreasonable because you hate the president? What is the justification for paying the dubious sum of $850 million to the company?

Jonathan was Vice President when the deal was signed. He became president some few months later and refused to fulfill the terms of the contract. Some few weeks to handover, he signed an out of court settlement with the company in a very dubious manner but didn’t have the balls to pay. So, you expected the new government to just hand over $850 million of Nigeria’s money to the company based on a last minute dubious negotiation? Is that how you will run Nigeria if you ever become president? Sigh!

Let me make this clear to you and other misinformed wailers, Nigeria will not pay $9 billion to that criminal company and their PDP collaborators.

helinues:
The headline should be

' Nigerians to pay more for darkness '

Joystark:
Damn!
For a second there I thought it was the real Obaseki.

Not like there's a fake one.

R.I.P sir.

Felixalex:
These people funny sha, so true true this man stubborn?

Well who knows, his reasons for refusing treatment might be justifiable, i don't trust governments when they actually want to Bleep u up

Kingosytex:


If after all these things happened you still can't take a tangible decision, it means that you are even more gullible than Timi Dakolo and your wife will always capitalise on that fact to manipulate you till thy kingdom come, can't you see she is using your brain to play bet9ja? ...Sorry for the harsh words but i just had to pour out my mind.

You didn't remember to tell him to go and conduct DNA test for the children. Imagine the mess from Jezebel daughter?


In your wife is the deadly combo of cheating, lying, deceit, nudist and promiscuity. Oga, you have a very big problem. Your wife has cheated and lied to you on many occasions yet you forgave her, i must commend you for that because it is only few men that can tolerate such excesses to the level you tolerated. I dislike liars with passion and i absolutely have no second chance to offer them.


Your wife is a perfect example that Okafor's law works. I will suggest you meet your in laws and table the matter before them though i don't believe anything positive will come out of such meeting, but you have to do that for the sake of formality. I advice you to break free from her bondage, send her away, divorce her. She is a cheat and she can't change. A leopard can't change its spots, Buhari is a perfect example about that. Your wife is prepared to ruin your life, she is willing to steal your joy and happiness and she might send you to your early grave.


Remember she has nothing to lose. If you die, she will move on with her lovers. Lastly, make sure you run a DNA test on those children to determine their paternity. Don't even think of selling your house, i advise you sell the undeveloped plots instead and grow your business. I believe you will overcome, i wish you good luck!

Which South if I may ask?
I'll rather vote for boko haram leader Shekau to be Nigeria's president than vote for Th1efnubu.

I've cancelled out your hypocrisy.
All through the period fulani menace were ravaging middlebelt, did your Yoruba speak against the evil? Rather they were enjoying the show. Fulanis always have an accomplice in yoruba silence.

Rekhina:
We already forgived yorubas after d war ,y will they bring a terrorist called buhari to spite igbos did they think buhari will wipe us out ? ... ,
.......blame it on the yorubas , and if not we are in nairaland i would have cursed ur generation ,middlebelter is it not u tivs that prevented igbos from voting GeJ in zaki biam ,ur people suffered for it 2332 deaths in one year in Tivland anyway...

Amumaigwe:
You left out Tinubu who enjoys massive followership in the SW. How can that be possible?

pinkPUSSY:
You want to sound like an unbiased commenter, unfortunately you failed
You are biased!

highcollide:
we have been sending messages to FFK asking him to arrange a meeting between the afenifere and ohaneze but he's hesitant. I suspect ffk is only about heating the polity and doesn't truly care about the yoruba nation.

inoki247:
U guys are still on this matter wetin concern humility with ur right. That's aw d old ones will come from no where when u are on d queue wey sun dey hit ur head like panel beater nd dey will chance u nd use d ATM like is in biblour constitution to be chanced by the elders.. Been humble is a choice is not something u force on others...

Na only the Military nd the Police fit force u to b humble...

seborrhic:
What is the full gist because no country's embassy can be invaded,because of dilomatic immunity enjoyed by all countries embassies,even if it's a banana republic as Buhari has turned Nigeria into.
I have a feeling this is either untrue or a twisted version of the true events.

Oddnumber:
You can't rig where you're not popular. Bello knows that and that's why he's appeasing them.

If Kogi East and West reject him, how would he enter?

Oddnumber:
If Kogites make the mistake of reelection Yahaya Bello for a second term, all I'll say is they deserve to suffer and they shouldn't disturb us with their noises.
