C130s cargo planes have no seats which means that Nigeria plans to airlift its citizens on a 6-hour journey sitting on the bare floor while there are free Boeing 747s in the Air Peace fleet to comfortably ferry them home safely.

The Nigerian Government prefers to transport its citizens as cargo not as decent humans.

All these just to avoid having it on record that an Igbo man saved the day again.


This is a new low.

I was expecting this critique/comment before now in the earlier thread. Surprised no one brought it up. There's absolutely nothing wrong in the use of the Hercules C130, as one of its primary design purpose asides heavy lifting and transport is also emergency evacuation cheesy

Nairaland should have a small IQ pass test, before anyone can post topics, it's being abused, and over 30 people actually likes it.

Your president will leave for Niger republic if it becomes too hot for him in Nigeria.

It's dumb because you also don't have citizens who get abadoned while the people they host get evacuated.

Assuming there is a war in Nigeria, Your parents are trying to run away, all of a sudden an aeroplane appears in your village to evacuate Ghananians whom your parents have always played good host to. They leave your parents to death.

My question is why can't those Ghananians be evacuated with your parents? Can you figure it better now?

The Ghanian government is only responsible for her Ghanian citizens.

It's the responsibility of a country to rescue her citizens from a war torn country. It may also be the responsibility of those citizens to take the burden of rescuing indigenes they deem needed to be rescued with them.

No dey do pass yourself, you can't have/safe/keep all.

Your bigoted minister Abike Dabiri refused to use his planes and opted for a rickety cargo plane instead because the burning pain in her heart could not accept the fact that an Igbo man was going to save Nigerians yet again.
Dullard, the minister of foreign affairs, is Geoffrey Onyeama, your brother. Not Abike and he is in charge. Try to at least verify whatever nonsense you want to spew online. Not all of us drink from your superiority complex koolaid.

You live in a country. You make money in that country. You enjoy all the facilities. You date their men and women. You enjoy their food. You enjoy all the benefits.

But when war breaks out, you abbadon them. Why can't your country evacuate their citizens alongside you? Is death only meant for them. Many of them do not partake in the violence. This is my argument.

which kain talk be this?. When there’s problem in a location where your family is and you want to help your family get out do you put effort in evacuating everyone out or you just do your bit to get your family out? If someone who isn’t your family reaches the evacuation point before your own family member will you take the person and leave your own family member behind knowing you only have allocated space for your family alone?

Suppose your children move down the street to play in the house of their friends and after sometimes, you heard that that house is burning.

Will you quickly rush there to get your children out or you will prefer that they stay inside the burning building until you are able to evacuate everybody in that burning house?

Nigerians were in Sudan reaping the benefits of education ... enjoying the foods .... and women .... and hustle..... now war has broken out should Nigeria evacuate her own citizens?.... or just send planes and allow anybody who wants to leave enter? If anybody ... then should everybody and we be fetching all until there is nobody left? If no ... then it's not fair to evacuate some and not all.... which is the basis of your argument. Looking ahead .... where would all these people be going to?.... Lagos? This your thinking happened in 1948 when so called Jews were evacuated from Europe by the UN who decided to take away a part of Palestine ... remove the locals from their lands ... and designate the coveted land a country now known as Israel. What should we do?

when trouble starts in your city, do you stand outside where the trouble is or do you run to your house for safety? While at it do you call on everyone to follow you to your house?

The answer is simple.
Being a citizen of a country comes with a lot of rights... And responsibilities.
Immigrants do not enjoy most of the rights that citizens enjoy, so it would be madness to expect them to also carry the same responsibility

It's a good question but not well thought out. You are assuming that America evacuates every tom dick and Harry American in these distressed countries. You see, America as an imperial power has establishments and embassies and army bases in most countries and the people who work in these establishments were sent there from the USA to go and work their. These are not volunteer tourists or expatriates . These are people shipped to these countries from America to go and work their and it is these ones that are evacuated. But Nigeria in doing follow follow does not understand this concept and are evacuating people who went their voluntarily to be economic migrants.

Also let me add that if you are a tax paying American expatriate you will be evacuated. Meaning you have registered with the American embassy in whatever country you are and still pay taxes to the USA government. But if you are an American expatriate not registered and paying taxes ? You are on your own ooo

Those japa geng that feel they have arrived once they leave the shores of Nigeria are usually the first to go on Social Media to be demanding that Nigerian govt. evacuates them with Nigerian tax payers money when war breaks out in their "newly found home".

I have come to realize that our intelligence level differs and most Blacks especially Nigerians have low thinking capacity.. how many Indians do you see applying for Nigerian Visa if not for business related purposes and make money? In Nigeria, you see people selling everything they have acquired, some sell of their parents lands and properties just to relocate and live as second class citizens abroad.

In those days, Europeans brought ships and guns to forcefully take slaves in Africa.. fast forward to present day, the Africans are the ones forcefully selling themselves, selling everything in their possession to go and live in the White man's lands as parasites and slaves.
When will Africa wake up??
Re: Why Do Countries Evacuate Citizens In War Countries by Bobbiee: 1:56pm On Apr 30, 2023
Because of international politics. If for instance Sudan before the South broke out, breaks into a civil war and the Nigerians living there decide to fight for the Sudanese against what is generally termed the "South Sudanese terrorists", once South Sudan gains independence, they will definitely black list Nigeria seeing as they sided with the enemy. Another thing, what does Nigeria stand to gain by fighting with Sudan? The only reason a country intervenes in another's war is because of what they stand to gain. That's why the US would happily train and send mercenaries to Ukraine but would pull all their people from Sudan

Foreigners are at the mercy of God, some even your host immediate community can turn against you. I received a video of the Sudanese attacking and killing foreigners( though unsubstantiated) omo see the way they were being killed ,maimed, it is a gory situation. Those warring faction can turn against foreigners- killing, taking them as hostages, people suddenly adduced one or two useless reason for such attack . I don't blame nations for the rescue operation. I read in a post today 30\4 that the last batch of evacuees were prevented by the forces in Sudan. Sorry to say these the situation is usually worse in muslim countries. Look at the Talibans ,no regard for their citizen.

Every country is responsible to it's citizens whether within or outside the country (Embassy).

So in times of crisis in another country, they are obligated to protect their citizens. They also do it so to avoid being dragged into the war.

It's global practice.

Point of correction, America did not evacuate its citizens who in Sudan for personal business, only diplomatic staff. The same thing they did in Ukraine.

Biden asked their citizens to get out of Sudan on their own if they so wish.

Don't mind that dude. I pray this scenario doesn't happen. I don't wish to be caught in a war I didn't start nor party to.

The worst is that people are forced against their will to fight and die.

I believe UN should carter to such concerns. Before a war, those who wish to flee should be given 2 weeks to do so aided and supported by United Nations.
