The real reason is that Nigeria and some other African countries are about to be used as guinea pigs for the various covid vaccines being developed. So these western countries have to evacuate asap to save their citizens.

Just my speculation tho

Re: Geoffery Onyeama: Why Foreigners Are Leaving Nigeria Over COVID-19 by ofiko123(m): 7:45am On Apr 04, 2020
They are leaving because Nigeria has poor health care facilities that cannot handle the coronarivus pandemic so it is best that they evacuate their citizens..

Shut up, China is already testing their vaccine in China, Europe is testing their treatment in Europe there, same with America.
Africa own is to wait let them finish and bring the medicine over here, we can't do anything, yet people like you will be making mouth.

Well, we're not concerned if they leaves. All our concern now is to be free of this testing period (pandemic) which ought to be an eye opener for Government in all levels to do the needful. They should have know now that, no place like home, despite their account they can't travel to secure their lifes. Let Nigeria be great again.
We are learning our lessons now

"We are learning our lessons now". This shows you are not. As long as history as a subject remains scrapped, this is a lie.

This pandemic situation has happened again and again. Yet the same mistakes keep reoccurring. Does it show any learning?

Onyeama is a diplomat and I didn’t expect anything less from him.
He knows his job and thanks to him for spinning and using the English language in a more tactful way to explain the situation.

Summary of Onyeama’s speech.

Foreigners left because they do not trust Nigeria’s health system/management and staff.

quote Onyeama said those who had left did so did so to enable them make use of a system that they are familiar with, should the need arise.


so when buhari sick he went to UK to use the system he is familiar with. when I cough I will go to my state to used the system I'm well known. this is international tribalism

What did you expect him to say? It’s his job to find a nice and sensitive way to explain that without offending Nigeria.

Lier Mohammed would have said that no foreigner left Nigeria or those who left were foreigners on a short visit.

Which would you prefer?

They are leaving cos of the massive civil unrest that will happen soon in Nigeria.
It will come like d Arab spring that started with one man that set himself ablaze due to hunger.

96% of Nigerians are angry with the government right now. You couldn't give us jobs, infrastructure, social amenities, security, affordable education,healthcare and you are now locking us indoors.You are taking away our livelihood.
Millions of unemployed Americans right now are applying for unemployment benefits due to Covid-19 and their government is sending them cheques, half of their last wages monthly.
Buffons and ineptitude government here only knows how to enforce lockdown.
How will one account for expensive rented shops and appartments ,goods with expired dates,bank loans,association loans,farmland rents etc reading on nothing.
Only govt workers are happy at home right now and they don't make 1% of d population. Schools will resume soon and how will parents pay their children fees.

Lockdown is not d solution. ENFORCE A LAW THAT EVERYONE MUST WEAR FACE MASK AND HAND GLOVES while GOING OUT. THEN SOCIAL DISTANCING.

FreeNigerians# and keep your rice.

Said this as far back as Febuary after taking one look at Wuhan. I repeat yet again. Nigeria CANNOT be locked down. We simply donot have the capacity as a nation, financial, infrastructural, material, social, moral, etc, to shepherd Nigerians.

Already skirmishes are breaking out in Abuja communities over dud public palliative outreaches. Goverment is toying with social stability.

Here in South Africa, the Americans, Germans, Koreans, Russians and Israeli are leaving the country to be with their family and loved ones. Their governments made solid plans and has been evacuating them in large numbers.

So, there is no cause for alarm. It's a normal procedure for a well functioning country (unlike ours Nigeria!!!) to evacuate their citizens in times like this. Our leaders that cannot even take proper care of those at home not to talk of those abroad �‍♂️Those ones na leaders?

I'm proudly Nigerian though

APC government,. ... Using big grammar to still answer yes in affirmation of the question.

Simply question "is their leaving an indictment on Nigeria health sector?" Simply yes or no.

But the ministry answer that they leave in order to get acclimated to their health care system..... (So while they were here they didn't receive treatment in Nigeria?)....... So why are they leaving now........... That means our health care system is not working especially in time of crisis and the minister just affim that.
