I deal with fact and not hear say. The same letter was sent to us in Vietnam too and no one cares to listen to them. How can one run from frying pan to fire. Vietnam has 200+ cases of Covid 19 and no death reported and almost all are treated and discharged without paying a kobo to the vietnam hospital. They were all fed by the vietnam government and most milliary baracks were used for Qurantine. Nigeria, which way?

Who cares. Who is even returning to that "shithole" country call Nigeria. I pity those who will return back home. If Federal Government pays for everything, i bet you that no Nigeria in Vietnam is even ready to return back home. How can one jump from frying pan to fire. Who does that?... lol�����

American's and Canadians paid for their flight ticket to return home...what's your point?

America gave their citizens $1200 dollars

I’m sure you can read up what Canada did for theirs

Now what has Nigeria done for theirs


Always quick to compare when convenient !

You people dont see anything wrong in anything in that shithole. Thats why hundreds may die in a day and you carry on as if its nothing. The countries who evacuated their citizens from Niggeria I wonder how much their citizens paid to be evacuated.

My take is that Nigerians staying back home hate Nigerians living abroad. What help are Nigerian government giving to their stranded citizens. It is so bad that after so many freewill donations by Nigerians and foreign aids, Nigerian government is still tasking their citizens on the amount to pay before they are airlifted. i weep for Nigeria

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright
Before nko
Them nor go pay for the hotel bill and food
Other country citizens and national dey pay for their flight back home

Most people don't know anything at all! I dey shame for una
See the way they are insulting Nigeria as if other countries don't do it

Your boy friend is a real niggarrr
I owe your boy friend a parcel of weed
Don't mind them. They just want government to subsidize everything including thier life


Oga name 1 country that is charging their citizens for evacuation flights and 2 weeks quarantine? Please name 1 country with proof....

The way we trivalize things in this country is absurd.. Everything isn't a joke oga. Put yourself in the shoes of these stranded citizens before you go making a joke of things like this. What else can a country do for its citizens?

If a person is opting to leave Bangkok or canada or dubai or the United states which by many standards, are better countries, and return to Nigeria to be quarantined for 2 weeks, an experience we all know is not pleasant, dont you think it is because such a person is stranded and has no choice?

Is it now sensible to ask such a stranded citizen to pay over half a million naira (including flight fare) before he or she can be rescued by his or her country?

If in a time like this, where there is a global health disaster, stranded citizens are not able to run to their embassy for help without being asked to pay for the assistance their own country gives them, what else can a country do for its citizens if it cannot offer humanitarian aid at the time of a disaster?


What ever happened to all the money that has been donated to help the federal government at this time? What ever happened to all the loot we have recovered? What about the money we have borrowed? What happened?
Are our leaders not still earning fat salaries today?

Did you think of all this before making fun of stranded people?

How many of us pay taxes? And what % of our salary do we pay as tax? If you have cousins and aunties living abroad, pls inquire from them. Then you will know.

You surely can't have it like the citizens of those countries. We are not bad here because of bad leaders only. We are also bad cos of bad followers. How many of you pay taxes and what proportion do you pay?

That's over half a million for each returnee. That's quite on the high side. No sane country will do that to her citizens. Wish you have travelled before and got stranded. You won't say what you just typed


What do you suggest? should the government pay for all stranded Nigerians around the world? don't forget that Covid 19 was brought into the country by these returnees so should the not be quarantined?
do you know American government isn't paying for evacuation of their own stranded citizens?

what makes u think is everyone abroad that is working, some traveled for business and was caught up by flight restrictions and so many many people lost their jobs because of COVID-19, is fine for them to buy ticket , but what is the government doing for this people and why cant they pay for their hotel bills and feeding , afterall some money was allocated to federal government for this reason .





Exc2000:
cool


Fair deal

you are indeed a big failure if you claim to be abroad and cant pay your own return flight ticket fee, and still cant pay $700 for 16 days hotel reservation and 3 square meals daily in self isolation

That was how Chinese Governent asked arriving Nigerians to self isolate for 14 days, yet this scrupulous people went on protest that they cant pay for their own isolation in an hotel, till Chinese hotel owners kicked them out on the street

No,one is not querying the payment of tickets for flight;rather,the payment of accommodation and feeding.who gets the money?not these officials, cos trust me,it will be sub contracted out to their cronies.not all if these Nigerians are that wealthy enuf,to afford 15k accommodation charges.considerations should be made and hotels that charge half of that,sought out and these,made suitable.
Don't just spew rubbish,because you are government and add to peoples discomfort

I know l. I paid taxes when in that shithole. I am paying my taxes here. If you like remove 100% of people's salary as tax you think it will still be enough?
We will still be here having this same discussion.

If there is anything your government has shown, is how well it can collect money from its citizens using every trick.

The problem is not how much you generate but if you cant utilize the little you have then dont think you will suddenly become efficient because there is more. You give your son 500 to manage for a week. He squanders it in 1 day and cant point to anything tangible he spent it on. What do you do? Do you increase his allowance to 1k5 per week or do you cut off his alowance? Simple logic. Get your head out of your ass

The same American govt gave each of her citizen atleast $1k as palliative in this season of covid-19. If at all what you said is true, Trump govt cannot charge the returnees as high as the their counterpart in Nigeria has done. That is not fair.

Dear miss I wasn't arguing, I only pointed out that the fee is exorbitant. How I wish you have a brother over there who's stranded. Your view on this matter wouldn't be the same. You have to show empathy to others. You could find your self in their shoes tomorrow, life is unpredictable

Will my empathy make Buhari decide to pay their bills? if it was possible I would be the first to show empathy, we were discussing based on logic hence I was logical about it but if my empathy is needed to get the government to change it's mind then I hereby throw my weight behind the empathy crew
