Coronavirus: Evacuating Nigerians In Wuhan, China, The Facts by WuhanPerson: 4:23pm On Feb 01, 2020
Good day everyone,

I am a Nigerian student currently studying at one of Wuhan's universities. Due to privacy concerns i decided to open this account to describe the situation of Nigerians currently in Wuhan in the midst of the corona virus outbreak. This post was necessitated by the following false report attributed to our honorable Minister for information in the Nigerian media:

https://www.nairaland.com/5663594/16-nigerians-chinese-town-hit

1. Only 16 Nigerians in Wuhan?

The total number of Nigerians in Wuhan to my recollection currently stands at over 50 people. We have been able to coordinate ourselves, and support each other in this trying period.

2. We Don't want to leave?

This statement is the bone of contention, and has caused panic in the Wuhan Nigerian community. The Nigerian Population in Wuhan includes students, researchers, and Businessmen, many of whom are with their wives and children. These people are all at risk of getting infected each time they leave their place of residence to find food to eat or water to drink in a city that looks like a ghost town with supplies running out each day.

Right now countries that have successfully evacuated their citizens (South Korea, Kazakhstan, India, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Japan, Italy, Germany, Indonesia, etc.) have proven the possibility of evacuation without infection. So the question becomes why is our case different?

We are therefore pleading with the Nigerian government to please rescue us from this situation, as we are ready to appease their fears by:

1. Being tested and quarantined on arrival
2. Fund our travel expenses.

We are humans, people who are citizens of a great nation who do not deserve to be publicly sentenced to death by a country we are proud of.

Front Page please, and help us.

Sorry about your experience! Nigerians in Wuhan should just try and survive during this period. Do not expect Buhari or anyone in his cabinet to come over to rescue you in China.

If anyone tries it, such a person will be victimized by the government of Nigeria. Use anointed handkerchief and anointing oil to dey rub your body..

Buhari no send you! undecided

Firstly Nigeria is not a great nation,
Secondly you're not proud of your country cos if you're, you would have schooled in your country Nigeria, but i understand, cos i hate Nigeria too.

Nevertheless Nigeria is your motherland and you shouldn't be treated like a stranger.

But Nigeria is dead what a pity! The last time Nigerian lives abroad was in danger, Nigerian government couldn't evacuate them not even one, it was air peace that came to the rescue. So find a way and come back, just forget the useless government.

Anybody can claim to be anywhere. Show proof you are in Wuhan and not just writing a story making unverified claims.

I expected you to show proof of meetings or so called coordination taking place

If there is actual evidence to back up your claims with then it can be escalated and fast tracked

It is well.

You stated in your post that you're willing to fund your own travel expenses, in this case, isn't it possible for you to leave the affected region and catch a flight back to Nigeria?

At least, some Chinese who left the country for China will be returning back to Nigeria. I see no reason why they should prevent you from returning while allowing non Nigerians back.

We are humans, people who are citizens of a great nation who do not deserve to be publicly sentenced to death by a country we are proud of.

Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for coming out to talk.
We believe something will be done before 48 hours ,
and for those that do not want to live just like some refused to leave SA when the government came for them, we wish them the best.

For those of you that are ready to come back home to our darling country.
Prepare your bags and boxes guys.
Keep yourself safe and sound for few hours more.
This is a proactive government, to most extent.
God bless Nigeria.

@the student, any information from the Nigerian embassy over there?
Do let us know.

So it was your Cownu and his rented bouncers that went to SOUTH AFRICA to evacuate Nigerians few months ago?!

Una wailers go just open mouth anyhow they talk rubbish sha.
Hatred for your country will not kill you guys one day, our prayers are with you.
Hatred kills faster than HIV, be guided!
We are sure the wall clock in your house is permanently at 8' O Clock twenty-four hours of the day!
Pathetic tin!


ccollins:
it seems a lot of people hate you on this forum
Yes, 4 people with 1356 different monikers on Nairaland (no exaggeration!) that support criminals and looters that raped and looted our nation for 16 years, that are now in severe pains that they cannot feed on stolen money anymore like usual, when they were told STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION!
They are also known as children of hate, perdition and frustration.

But, it's not about us @[/color] tho,
it is about their hatred for Our darling country.
And it is good to know that those who love our darling Daddy and our darling country are more than those who see themselves as animals that live in a zoo!
Over 15 Million Nigerians cannot be wrong!

Now you know them.
So don't be surprise anymore.
Dem no reach...NOURISH SUPER LOAVES! wink

Are you with them also collins,
let us know now now as e dey [color=#990000]hot!
Make we know maybe u sef go dey collect GBAS-GBOS or a warm hug, kisses kiss and respect from us.
