US Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria says it is preparing emergency flights to evacuate its citizens in Nigeria despite airport closures,This is not unconnected to the exploding coronavirus cases in Nigeria which stand at 81 on Saturday morning according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.
advised American citizens to be in Abuja and Lagos “as soon as possible” to join the arranged flights back to the US. It stated, “At present, there are no scheduled flights to the United States. However, we are actively exploring options and attempting to secure flights despite global airport closures and travel restrictions.“US citizens who are considering returning to the United States are urged to travel to Abuja or Lagos as soon as possible.
“To disseminate important information and alerts for US Citizens including possible evacuation flights, the State Department uses the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program as its primary messaging system. US Citizens in Nigeria who want to be informed about emergency flights and receive other alerts should enroll in STEP immediately.”
We will overcome this 🙏
We don't really need them, at least Nigeria is more better than USA for now, in terms of containing this varius
This one they are telling their citizens in Nigeria to prepare for evacuation hope dey are not planning something on us?
Really
Like i still don't get Are we the one that need evacuation or they 🤷
They know we can't handle it.
Nigeria is even safer for them
🤣🤣🤣 US fears the worst will happen in Nigeria. The God is our strength. We shall and we will overcome the plague
Oya pack and go,carry your Ghana must go🎤
TheMostEerned there you go.
Weird! at this moment the States has 104,000 confirmed cases of COVID 19 whilst Nigeria has 81
Smokescreen for something much more sinister, perhaps the extraction of someone, American, Nigerian maybe... probably sick and high ranking? Just speculating...
Nothing go happen
Yeye dey smell. Which is more dangerous to be now, US or Nigeria?
Impending Doom is looming
As if they're safer there.
They want out
They are free to go .. at least we have lesser case .. and if this is a plan to carry our infected leaders .. Sango will epp us do the remaining judgement
That's not gonna happen Insha Allah 😏
Who cares
Haa
Lol! Nigeria is safe than the US , obviously fewer cases in worst case scenario! No cure even in America! It’s still same treatment in America!
in other words shit is about to get crazy out here 😔
Fry pan to fire
Hhmmmm
Either Nigeria or there, death na death. But it's cool to die at home anyway.
Nigeria is safe and your president is missing
Which means Nigeria is safe at all for the US citizens I want a situation whereby our President MBuhari will also say that to Nigerians in the US and see how those the prospective returnees will react
After this virus has been successfully defeated, anyone who diverts funds meant for equipping our hospitals should be publicly executed.
e don set oooo,
Chai, the handwriting is not God at all
Let them go and die in their Nation. How tell them that they are safe in US
They are seeing an impending disaster. Bookmark this tweet.
U are not even serious? Where is safer?
Miraculously for the first time, Nigeria is even safer than US.
they've seen the handwriting on the walls. no hope for naija shit hole
WapkoshMedia The earlier the better
Evacuate to where na?
These people!the Chinese people that brought some materials saying they are helping us fight the virus. Can't they help Italy, even if they want to help countries in Africa, Egypt is there, south Africa is there, they have more cases than us. Now these people again, God help us.
That's what they are doing in all other countries. So it's not special. But they should pls sanitize their plane before it enters Nigeria.
Haaaaa
Let them leave. Coronavirus is out there worldwide. Not only in Nigeria. U.S can evacuate their citizens from anywhere in the world but it doesn't stop the virus to hit whoever the virus wants to hit.
Nigeria 🤔🤔
Only if our leaders can come back to their senses and enquire from this old Mama's I'm very sure they will find solution to it. At least during the old days they cause virus without vaccine. I still believe in herbs though
Who spread the virus and who is getting evacuated? Jokes apart, there are Nigerians in the USA who are worried about their spouses stuck in Nigeria. Emergency evacuation = 2 weeks quarantine before they got to see their family. USA don’t leave its citizens behind no matter what.
What a smart government despite the increase in the country
For what are we in a war fare my God
Is US trying to telling us that covid19 case in Nigeria will be worse? Hnmmmm
Oti sele bayi
They're ready.
We're safer in Nigeria than USA, let them come carry their citizens, by the way have they find solutions to the problem? After all USA has the highest number of cases in the globe.
Make we too send flight to America for evacuation naw Nd see who will board that flight
Because they also know that we can’t find our president, they need to protect their citizens.
Micro biologist that should be doing dis job nw are on the street some working hopelessly while some are working in d banks why won't American government evacuate her citizens from Nigeria
What's going on oh
lol go home and die bera to die at home
We are in the hands of God
Just for any citizens who are interested to be evacuated naw if they feel they are not safe in Nigeria meanwhile it's normal because Nigerian government would attend to its citizens before foreigners naw.
U guys are right though, bt I want to hear our President say we are sending flight to evacuate citizens in US, Italy, UK let me know we are capable, d best place in dis country nw is prisons bt our infidel who calls himself President is talking abt releasing prisoners to WHR?
to what end exactly, US recorded higher infected victims of the virus. they might as well be walking into the main virus hotspot
All these because we have data issues so nobody really knows what is going on.
Not a wise decision. Is US fairing better admist the pandemic?
They hear and sees what we are passing through in this country
This thing is going to hit 🇳🇬 big time, I can sense it
if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV LET THE WORLD REPENT AND CALL UPON GOD FOR HEALING
They are jealous that we have less number of cases so by doing so we have more. God go judge them
Fellow country men, this speaks volume,even after curing people than them? What is going on with all this lies about COVID19 in Nigeria that so scary to the USA government we don't know. Is our case number increasing? Why will they want their citizens out of Naija
Seriously? Well, I think they should go back to their country Jare.
Pls where are they going ?
After reading the article , i wondered what was the point? then I realised that almighty America is in panic mode and straw grabbing. Fellow country people , we shall overcome. Dear punch please point me to such evacuation guide to US citizens elsewhere (Europe). Panic sprdgn!
Let them go an die in there country
Nigeria has come to an end , Biafra is going how watch out and see how it end
Make una go die there... Naija is safe
Lolz.....Nigeria is safer for now
US citizens will prefer to stays in Nigeria.
USA is overrated , am sure most of their citizens will not even agree to this.
We hope they are not trying to bring more victims here for exchange? Who knows 🤷♂️
Just like their previous prediction on the division of Nigeria by 2015 didnt come to pass, God will yet disappoint them again by ensuring COVID19 does not escalate to uncontrollable level in Nigeria. Hear our prayers o Lord and have mercy.
Trouble looking God save us
ehyah, o to di bee, now they can go na, awon arire banije, agbon isale.
Where is my American passport...chaii were is it ooo
I don’t get this. Are they trying to push more of this virus down to Africa or what..
Why should the airport be open
Evacuation to where To their country where over 1,600 death recorded and yet no solution in sight. You guys will soon be alright.
cam14uche Useless.. Nigeria will not suffer Covid19 cases like America
Ebiwali_ They already know we don't have any facilities in this country, they value the life of their citizen
America loves drama sometimes. They should cure those affected within their borders first. God bless Nigeria. Anyone who wants to leave is free to do so. That will improve social distancing.
Una get issues ooo ... the US citizens no Dey complain.. perhaps they are talk about their workers in high commission .. (embassy)..
DAT means america knew dt 9ja will have more n more case of d disease if not y r dey sayin dere citizen should be evacuated? American shaaaa..am sure God is superior Dan u all.
Let's just pray for Grace 💪💪
Please when they come stop them at airport and evacuate their nationels to go out to meet them.. 😂
Let them get the fuck out of our country,
Our professionals will be off soon
BuhariResign
Please let's read with understanding. It's not the whole Nigerians but the infected Nigerians
US now has more than 100,000 cases...more than china and Italy.. Good-luck with their evacuation! I'm sure some of their citizens will refuse to go sef!
Nigeria is safer than USA currently.
Nigeria that can’t cater for the welfare of its citizen, do you think they can cater for the welfare of us citizen, Abi US citizen no go chop ✌🏽
Anyways if am in U S and Nigeria said they will come for me..me am not going with them....
As far as am concern, Nigeria has recorded zero death so far, the only death was a returnee from affected country. They never believed Africa had survival chance against any challenge. But we do, oh yes we do. Every disease has a preference host.
See THE United States that is begging for doctors up and down is trying to show strength in the midst of crisis. Trump boasted of doing more testing than S/Korea, tremendous health system etc we all know what's going on there now.
ayemojubar This is a sign and a warning! They know we are about to capitulate
We are finished!
First they take your doctors, Next their people. We are in OYO oo
Please don't bring more virus for us with your coming to evacuate your citizens. Stay in your country and handle your cases.
evacuate to where please? 🙄
Hope USA is not planning to spread covid-19 in Nigeria and only faking excuse of evacuation. Because Naija is more safer than US right now
I pray they don't divide this nation Las Las
I hope they will be evacuating kids born over there. All that expenses to born there and obtain citizenship better not be scam ?
When will you all get this into your head cases in Nigeria have gotten out of the govts ability to contain...the Nigerian govt has been lying bout these figures..reason am..everyday these numbas go up and US knows as well as UK. Won’t be surprised with the figures by monday watch
When food fit be the next big issue
They fear for our failed systems
If US is evacuating its citizens, then there is something they ain't telling us about this virus
Covid in Nigeria has barely taken off Don't make comparison with d US
Says the 100k country, go
Trump is just jealous they are more safer here. Man should drop his Ego sometimes
Evacuation to where?
They know that Nigeria’s medical infrastructure will not be able to contain the pandemic when it erupts, so they are taking precautionary means to save their citizens
This evacuation runs deeply more than it is on the surface. Why is there no news of evacuation in other countries like Ghana or South Africa or even Kenya? But in Nigeria alone? They have noticed something about this outbreak here
Finally my 7 cousins would come back and join us here😆😆😆
We are ready
It’s amazing how the US has the highest number of reported cases and yet plans to evacuate its citizens from Nigeria that barely has over 6 dozens of cases as NSDC reported here... Hope it’s not what am thinking.......
Nigeria case is far more than 81, the country testing procedure is inadequate and keen toward the elites only without taken into consideration the local transmission of the contacts
How I wish we have a functional system, we would have evacuated ours from the US, China, Turkey, Spain and the rest of them long time ago.
Hold them hostage in exchange for treatments vaccine. We deserve to live 🤣
Maybe Nigeria to Ghana or Benin republic
Issorait
Chimo
From frying to fire.
Even with way fewer cases here they still wanna evacuate their people,what do u expect when Senators are bringing in new cars instead of bringing in testing kits and medical equipments
Evacuation from peace zone to war zone? We need free space even..... 😀
US have to evacuate there citizens because the case will be worst in Nigeria in some weeks to come
Nigerians get ready,two things are involved here,one some prominent Nigerians will ne smuggled out and secondly as the white has always used Nigeria as a dump centre they'll dump more Covid-19 here before they leave...mrk my words once this flight takes off we'll hit 500+ victims
US that is begging for nurses, to evacuate despite having over 100K cases?
Make them just they carry me go too!!!
Many if not all of those affected with the virus in Nigeria are from west; evacuation of their citizens should have been done since.we don't need them get the hec out of here.
My question is, why is US with exploded number of COVID19 planning to evacuate their citizens?
You will know a serious Government by their action, always proactive and not reactive.
They know it's going to get worse here in a bit
'Exploding coronavirus'? While not downplaying that there could be cases of infection (based on what we are told), the only thing 'exploding' is media disinformation, hysteria and fear-mongering.
Is there something they are not telling us apart from corona?
james_candour Take your cars and park on the runways 👍🏽👍🏽
I guess this is the reason
james_candour They are bringin it 😂
The Ameticans can see what many Nigerians can not. They understand that no matter how much billions Nigeria raises against the virus, we have a different cultural view to protecting the lives and property of our citizens. They know our leaders better than we do.
The Nigeria government has shutdown her airport realDonaldTrump let abide by rules and regulation
Imagine US with high number of cases, ready to evacuate its citizens. Hope not to that country again
UK should come and evacuate Buhari o. He's a London citizen, last time I checked.
to were?
Besides, US now has greater number of cases
This is scary. What points are they trying to prove?
I want to go but not as a refugee-like individual
The indication is Nigeria is under reporting because we aren’t testing and don’t have the means to and it also means the quarantine and shutdown will exceed the periods being given......
Thank God that I'm a US citizen. My President Trump is sending Chopper to come and lift me back to my dear country.
If they leave this country make dem no come back. Yoruba says Eyele ko ni ba onile je ko ba onile mu ko wa di ojo iku ko wa ye ori Bt this people no be eyele dey are Americans
Why are they specific about Nigeria and not making reference to other countries ? Are you getting the point? This too shall pass I believe. CovidOut
Even Us Citizens are safer here than The States 🇺🇸 🙄🙄
Hahaha
Only this Action should spell it to you that If this Covid-19 Virus started here in Nigeria. The outside world would have placed a huge ban, also calls Africa the animal planet. COVID19 StayAtHomeAndStaySafe PresidentCovikk staysafe
Where citizen's lives matters.
They dont believe in the health care system of Nigeria. They have a population of over 300 million, compared to their number cases, i think their doing the right thing. Which white man wants to contained at national stadium if Nigeria experiences the number of cases in the U.S?
US must hit over 100,000 Corona virus cases and are struggling to treat their citizens. They want to evaluate all aliens who doesn't have papers out of US not only Nigerians.
Then their is more to it...
I pray we won't later see the worse in Nigeria
Thought you were calling out for doctors and nurses worldwide, must they always throw it to our face how incapable our govt have been. So even with their number of cases surpassing our with thousands, they still think their citizens aren't safe
Nonsense, they should go na
Buhari should reject any help from China apart from money! China has hidden agenda against Nigeria. If you know anyone that knows someone, please forward this message to him/her. We should reject anything from China for now!
Good riddance.
No bi them.. they will surely come back .. it’s COVID19 holidays
This US is funny o. You have problem in your country and you want to pack your people and enter instead of allowing them stay where its a bit safe. It is well o.
Are you sure, US is not trying to find a way to increase the Nugerian cases?
Its simple. If its worsen like theirs . the death here will be alarming .and we are too relaxed in this country
Where re they coming to Abeg make dem dey dia oooh no space over here let them b quarantine over there coz we don't have enough quarantine to quarantine them.. Abeg I Don talk finish 🙄🙄🙄
Even if USA case hit 1 million they can handle it, but once Nigeria case reach thousands the world is at risk, remember Nigerians travel a lot like Chinese people
Thank God I'm a USA citizen according to my facebook profile
I smell rat😀
Is chopping off the head is the medicine for headaches...
Lol see levels ☹️☹️
Is it not even better they stay indoor here comparing the number of cases of the two countries... 81 to 100,000 cases
Coming from the country with the highest numbers of cases in the world. Nobody should stand in there way.
Nobody must open that airport o.
But the US has the most confirmed cases
I think Nigeria has been cursed....
Who's leaving cause I'm not
How many deaths have u recorded in your country compare to Nigeria... At the airport, before closure... I saw white with their folks into Nigeria, plenty of it
They should get out, they only come to Nigeria for Milk And Honey, but when these is danger they isolate themselves. Nonsensical nonsense.
Hmmm...Nigeria... May we not end up as the waste land of the world..
Are they not safe in the situation of confirmed 81 patient too that of more 83k shey USA Dey whine hin citizens ni
Hmmm......Nigerians can never do that to there own citizens over there
They can't be allowed to mix up with the citizens of Nigeria.. Dey need isolation
Isn’t it safer for them to be here? 🤔
They should leave and not return abeg.
Why are they evacuating?
It’s amazing how the US has the highest number of cases and yet plans to evacuate its citizens from Nigeria that barely has over 6 dozens of cases.
U think they will go? OYO.
I hope they will not smuggle out some politicians for treatment while evacuating their nationals.
Nigeria is safer for them
Abeg ooo. Hope they'll be isolated once they reach the country. They can't be allowed to mix with the citizens.
