Do you know whether those Indian and kenyan have Nigerian citizenship ?
So where there're alternatives, Incompetent Nigerian should be employed just because they're Nigerian?
This is the Same things we accuse SA of .
You're beginning to sound xenophobic

davidif:


Do you have an idea how difficult it is to get a visa to Qatar? Or you think you can just fly there and start working? Qatar and Saudi Arabia are some of the most difficult countries to get a visa to get into.

Also this is standard practice. If you go to American embassy you would see a lot of Nigerians working there so what's the big deal?

bkool7:

All Indians are killing our people ?

I guess we should go kill Indians ....whatcha say?

SalamRushdie:


Why must it be NASS? , when will Buhari who is incharge of all the embassies see it.....the way you zombies like to shield Buhari from his primary faults is mind boggling I tell U ...Is it NASs that approves foriegn missions and appoints ambassadors?

Baroba:
Come to Nigerian embassy London and you will see Nigerian incompetence / corruption at its peak, have we forgotten the nonsense we all witnessed been played out to the world audience by Nigerian embassy In Canada..

If the Indians and Kenyans are providing better service than folks usually appointed based on nepotism from Nigeria by all means let them man our embassies..

ElsonMorali:


If this is true, then I'm wondering why we have an embassy there in the first place

davidif:


First of all, do you know me from somewhere?
Secondly, if you do you need to calm down and stop being to emotional about this.

Thirdly, take off your nationalistic hat and look at it from a logical standpoint. There is not too many Nigerians in Qatar ib the first place which makes sense since qatar isca difficult country to get into so it probably makes sense to hire the next best thing they can find.

Lastly, y'all need to stop being so hyped up about this. Aint none of yall ever being to Qatar or the embassy there to find out the facts on the ground but here you guys are jumping to conclusions. Goodness gracious! Like someone once said nationalism will be the death of us all. I am beginning to believe it.

To clarify further:

Nigerians are not allowed to visit Qatar on either tourist or visit visa (except for a relative/spouse sponsored by a Nigerian working in Qatar). The only way to reside in Qatar is only through company sponsorship (You must be offered employment by a Qatar based company). Nigerians CAN work if the Nigerian government employs them at the embassy. No excuses.

BTW: Indians also work at the Nigerian embassy in UAE.

woodcook:


About the difficulties in obtaining visa to work in Qatar, let me stop you there. Listen embassy business is a very serious one. If Nigerian mission request for visa on your behalf on the ground that you are working for them you will be granted visa faster than you think, unless yoi are a known terrorist or a wanted criminal.

Take this from me Foreign Mission between nations is strictly based on reciprocal. In fact Nigeria mission abroad are like the presidency with wide range of immunity and privileges

YelloweWest:

Why do we even do business with the Qatari govt? They are allowed freely into Nigeria but place such stringent conditions for our people to enter their country...

snapscore:


It's not specific to our people, it's generally for expatriates.

Our people have also made it harder by committing crimes in their country.

Lets look at this without any sentiment . I know a nigerian that works at the American Embassy and he was posted to another country .
So it could be these ppl were also posted to Qatar .

Do American s complain when they see other nationale working in their Embassies ?
I am sure we will all love to work in an American Embassy ,don't we ?

Look at it critically man..
Doesn't it look professional at least to find 80% of Nigerians working in the Nigerian embassy in Qatar?
Do you honestly think America would employ more than 5% of non Americans to work in their embassy..??

This is the problem with Nigeria...

NaMe4:


In fact, I don taya as I dey read comments.

Wetin concern diplomat with obtaining working visa?

As long as every employee works to keep the consulate/embassy running, (from the head of the consulate to administrative assistants), they are all diplomats.
So excuse of working visa holds no water!

I really wonder why Nigerians can't be screened and recruited from Nigeria to work in these embassies, with the high level of unemployment we have here.

alexialin:
It's simply logic.
People should stop crying foul.

If Nigerians are employed in the embassy, corruption in that embassy go times 100percent.
We all know ourselves.. So no need blaming whosoever there.

95percent of Nigerians are corrupt.. They will start cutting shows with whats obtainable in the embassy. Take it or leave it..
If you are running a multinational company sef, employ less Nigerians orelse the company will fold up due to corrupt practices.
No sentiment in this one.

YelloweWest:

Someone just informed me of the conditions:

Nigerians are not allowed to visit Qatar on either tourist or visit visa (except for a relative/spouse sponsored by a Nigerian working in Qatar). The only way to reside in Qatar is only through company sponsorship (You must be offered employment by a Qatar based company). Nigerians CAN work if the Nigerian government employs them at the embassy. No excuses.

Sirheny007:


Do you honestly know the full implications of that statement??

YelloweWest:

No, I don't think Qatar has that policy for all counties. Cos the lady that brought this policy to light was a Nigerian woman who lives in the US. Herself and her class mates planned a reunion in Qatar. All of them were granted visa except for her. She was the only Nigerian. They even refused to refund her plane ticket money that was when she lost it.

Nigerians are generally criminal minded. That I won't argue.

ElsonMorali:


Permit me to disagree with you. Nigerians are not generally criminal minded. There are over 150million Nigerians, How Many do you know personally and How Many are criminals?

I know that lots of Nigerians love breaking the law and they've given us a bad name all over the world Which is so unfortunate because there are lots of Nigerian achievers all over the world. Racism hasn't helped our cause either.

YelloweWest:

My dad is a retired foriegn officer. As a kid I lived in several countries in Africa and Europe. I've seen first had how Nigerians are treated differently from other black African nationals because of the high crime perpetuated by our poeple....

YelloweWest:
I'm sure it's because Nigerians are not ordinarily allowed in Qatar

They don't issue Nigeria's visa except one of their citizens can vouch for u
