The Nigerian government has said that 50 per cent of the COVID-19 positive arrivals that the country has had are from the UK.
Minister of Health Dr Osagie Ehanire said this while faulting the UK government for red-listing Nigeria and other African countries over fears of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.He said, “We regularly have travellers from the UK that are COVID-19 positive. In fact, within the last two weeks, the COVID-19 positive arrivals were 50 per cent from the UK.
“There is genetic sequencing going on; we shall have the results soon. We do not know how many of them are Omicron variants. But if every country should put other countries on a ban list because there are 21 cases in that country, very soon, you’ll have a large number of countries on your red list. The health minister stated that there are other ways to go about this COVID-19 variant than banning flights from African countries.
“I believe that there are other ways to go about it, and we in Nigeria don’t regard banning flights and movement of people as particularly helpful,” Ehanire said.
Because President Buhari is affected due to his routine medical check up in the UK that's the reason all this native dogs are barking
It's bcoz you guys did talk or act for them to know that your are a nation with sovereignty but you guys chose to pamper them and they deal with you when they like. Nonsense
If 50 percent of covid-19 positive cases is from UK, why not banning travellers from the UK
Loud it abeg

Now you tell us. Something you should have been drumming everyday. These folks are infecting us and blaming us on top of it, because we are always reactionary.
