If Africa countries can give visa free to European why can't they give Africa investor Visa free... Abi

Dangote has made this call severally. To enter Namibia na serious work.

I know some people here don't reason, their stock in trade is maligning Nigerians as if they could do better.

AfCFTA's mandate is to ensure that there's free flow of trades across Africa. And someone like Alhaji who's part of it and an integral investor across West Africa deserves better.
It's foolishness to deny a fellow African entry who came to invest his money and then allow a European tourist without visa. What's the value of the tourist visit compared to the economic impact of a billionaire's investment?

I seriously doubt it, their own will even be worse

US and UK that like money like what, they will welcome him with open arms

You are wise...

helinues:
South Africans should be pitying themselves early as all these their irritating behavior will definitely have consequences. I mean decade old

Who he this one?

thatigboman:
just listen to yourself. Did u even read the story? He said he took full responsibility. But his only problem was that while an African was denied entry in another African country, Europeans from another continent were allowed to go in without visa.

I don't think they do read and comprehend, they just run to comment.

Kobicove:
Rules are rules, if your visa has expired then they have a strong basis to deny you entry

Some of you just want to comment for commenting sake... Did you read the part he said he has no problem been turn back due to expired visa? The problem he has is the fact that Europeans can get into the country without visa but an African man need visa before been allowed to enter in a country in Africa as a Africa man. Does this make sense to you? Does this seems fair to you?

It's time Africans start giving themselves respect, whatever must have been his mistakes he should have been let in as an African, an investor & mostly a Nigeria 🇳🇬.
If there are people that could be given preferential treatment Abdul Rabiu deserves that in any African country.
A new Africa is possible.

The local moguls who are afraid of your competition was behind that denial

Your comment is the least intelligent here.

I really wish to say something nasty but I wouldn't . Practicing restraint.

Allee90:
Sorry Chairman for the embrassment. But I believe your closeness to Tinubu should be responsible for entry denial

Alhaji Rabiu should have renew his visa before embarking on the journey.

Kudos to the South African immigration, unlike our own bambiala immigration officers that all they know is to be begging money from both legal and illegal people coming and leaving the country.

You have a point - rules are rules.

But the question the man is asking (and it is a valid one) is if the rules make sense. The back and forth over the AfCFTA has been on for way too long and it is nothing short of insane.

All other continents understand the importance of regional trade blocs in negotiating favourable outcomes for their people. As usual, we in this part of the world still don't know what time it is.

While holding a strict dance agsinst him, they bend the laws in favour of Europeans? You are very low

He said he did not have problem with him being deny entry due to his visa, and also took responsibility for the mistake, so calm down.

The issue here is that, they allow non Africans in without visas.
he also go further by saying this countries make doing business in their country as an African is very difficult.

How can you make such a silly mistake Sir. Even if it's my little village you're coming, I will turn you back for lack of valid visa.

That's why your little village will never progress beyond being a little village...

You totally missed his point.

Those Europeans they let in may have been more regular visitors who were known to them.

Let's be honest, Rabiu is a not a public person so the South African officials may not have recognized him

Please , if you don't have the details. Just STFU!

Most of you are now posting like you don't know the intolerance in SA against other African nations.

Who in the plane mentioned is as wealthy as Bua for you to know they're frequent travllers.

Oga BUA, take your money where you are respected.
Even Trump's is now giving visa privileges to wealthy foreigners

Some european countries are visa free to South Africa, unlike Nigeria.

Did you read the article? Can you comprehend well?

but u will allow a white man enter visa free. Clap for yourself

We alway miss point. His point is not whether his visa expire or not. His point is why he an african man need a visa to travel to an africa country while an european man will travel to africa without a visa?

We are restricting ourself while allowing other from outside to enter freely.

That's not the bone of contention and he had already accepted responsibility for that. The main issue is SA allowing undocumented Europeans while they are stricter on Africans . I think it's high time the FG consider the recommendation of Sen. Oshomale (SA businesses can't be in Nigeria and be carting away our billions while they don't accept such)

It seems you lack comprehension. So, you're comfortable seeing an african investor being turned away due to expired visa but the same country allows Europeans to have a free pass without visa. Same African countries!!

MrGerald:

You'll be saying the same thing 100 years from now. Just admit black SA is kicking your ass. When you move to SA you live comfortably in black areas, not white areas - to the extent that you don't want to return home, even when they threaten your life.
