Geoffery Onyeama: Why Foreigners Are Leaving Nigeria Over COVID-19 by chimezieeze98: 1:19am On Apr 04, 2020 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drk9tpIu7Uo Geoffrey Onyeama, minister of foreign affairs, says there is no hidden agenda behind some countries evacuating their citizens from Nigeria. At least, 637 Europeans were evacuated from Nigeria and Benin Republic on Thursday. The move had left many wondering if there is a cause for alarm. During the press briefing of the presidential task force on COVID-19 in Abuja on Friday, a journalist had asked Onyeama if leaving the country was an indictment on Nigeria’s health system, to which the minister responded that it’s not necessarily so. 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. He added that the diplomatic staff of most of the countries are still in Nigeria, and that hey have no plans of leaving. “It is basically a case where people are more familiar with the health system in their various countries and so prefer to go to the various countries so in the event that they might have to be confined, they would be in more familiar surroundings and they would also have access to medical practitioners and facilities that they are used to,” Onyeama said. “So, that is really the reason. And you will find that a large number of those countries evacuating citizens, that their heads of mission and ambassadors and other staff are still here in Nigeria and there are no plans of leaving.” 20 Likes 4 Shares

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 43 Likes 3 Shares |

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 93 Likes 6 Shares |

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. 39 Likes 7 Shares |
