EXCLUSIVE: Nigerian Government Orders Citizens In United Kingdom To Pay N160, 000 For COVID-19 Test As Precondition For Evacuation
Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, disclosed that this was sequel to requests received from Nigerians stranded abroad amid the Coronavirus pandemic.' Confirming the directive, Sola Kingsley, a Nigerian based in the UK, told SaharaReporters that, "These guys are Nigerians visiting the UK on holidays or business trips for goodness sake.
"Where then does the Nigerian Government get the wild idea from that the same NHS will somehow prioritise Nigerian tourists, who are non-citizens of the UK for COVID-19 tests?"

Should it be free before
Who cursed this nation
This is a typical example of fail leadership
At least for now, the UK government is not sending anyone out yet. I am sure most of those on visitation perhaps might prefer to stay.
Nigeria will embarrass you.
This is how you know the entire government is sick or having a metal issue.
❓❓❓🤔
Good for them because MBuhari campaigned in chaltan house and they supported him. Las las everyone will get his or her dose.
They should ideally stay where they are. That is how it should be. Those other nationals leaving Nigeria will obey the laws of self-isolation but ours, when they get here, they will tell everyone in all clubs that they have arrived. They can come home after the outbreak.
They're coming to tell you it's fake news.
160k for covid-19.test? Per person or per family? This is ridiculous
I heard sometime ago that repentant boko boys were evacuated from Niger, how much did they pay again?
I also heard that one could pay as much as 30k as a citizen even if u live in Nigeria....physical distancing all the way!
I want to see the Speaker summon someone about this now. femigbaja over to you.
Simply put, Nigeria citizens evacuates themselves.
What a country... Una no dey shame wisman children
I'm doubting this story, why won't I stay in UK and be tested then if one has to pay that much for test.
cocomelange I can't believe this, needs to be verified
Ahn ahn
Steady milking
Fellow Nigerians, when we come out of all these, I HOPE WE GO GET SENSE WHEN WE DEY CHOOSE LEADERS AGAIN?...
So funny & ridiculous if true.
The government does not have any intention to evacuate her citizens in the first place....
They should pay or stay that place please
LionKingNzegwu US, UK etc only came into Nigeria and evacuated their citizens with no Covid-19 tests. What is actually wrong with us?
y sister and nephew are stranded in the Uk. They competed the forms as advised by NiDCOM.Only for NiDCOM to instruct them to carry out Covid 19 test at £400 each and present the results before they are allowed to board flights. They are also required to pay NiDCOM for new flight
Everyone is just finding a way to steal
That is being wicked and insensitive!
Omo, they should start life their. Who return epp before?
Nigeria is a real example of Animal Farm by George Orwell. This government will not care for anyone except the children of the highly placed. They refused to stop international flights on time until the Children of the President and other highly placed politicians returned
It appears the government is finding tangible evidence not to evacuate the Nigerians. In a situation like this, the government has to play its role by ensuring that his people arrived here safely.
Wariz wrong with this kwontry?
This country is a joke o😏
Why?
morganmbila
Paying for evacuation is understandable, but paying for test? That's plain wrong. Is there anything the Government of this country can actually do for citizens of this country for free?
Ok. One have a return ticket on BA. They are asking the person to forgo that ticket, pay 160k to board their chakrimite airline. Unscrupulous elements
Amadioha...
Heeeeeeeyyyy.... 9ja govt should plss.. Stop molesting n disgracing it citizen nww ehn...
The left behind

AfricaTriumph Fulani's terrorist government has finally make Nigerian great once again long lives to president Mohamedu buhari government even do his laying helpless somewhere in a graveyard Saudi Arabia.
Apart from the fact that the headline doesn't tally with the body, it's even stupid to think they every returned should jump on a plane without knowing their status. You expect those that might av been infected to sit with those that are negative? Are you mad
Rather unfortunate... What a government
Sahara reporter have come again with another twist to polish their fake news. Citizen will pay for their evacuation to Nigeria, foreign affairs minister
the only people benefiting from this country called Nigeria are the politicians and those in corridors of power. The people, I just feel sorry cos their hope is only in God.
Dis coronavirus shows Nigeria as not beening working since 1960! Hw can a country don't have plan or way forward in life of their citizen! ! Useless old fools

NigeriaGov Sahara Reporters.. Sahara Reporters..Sahara Reporter.. How many times did I call u? Stop misleading Nigerians with ur fake news.Hatred will only destroy ur reputation of u still have.
NigeriaGov People in the comments going wild because the editorial is playing on your sentiments. Read up on other 'developed nations' . Of course there were cases were govt back down but THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL.
Evil
NigeriaGov The Chinese Scientists You imported, were they screened for Covid-19? And how much did they pay? 😏SMH continue to play politics with the lives of Nigerians. History will never forget how your nonchalant attitudes put us all at risk.
NigeriaGov testIsFree don't be irresponsible. How In God name would you think making money from all this hit
NigeriaGov You want people to pay for test? We are at war here NGRPresident . Don't be irresponsible please. Not the time to the pain you already caused
How can this be possible? Which way Nigeria
Covid19 is an imported virus is into the country. The government are still presently battling with how more people will be tested in the country. Should they add more burden by bearing the cost of the likely further importation of the virus into the country?
Kai!!!! This is evil
NigeriaGov See useless government. When other governments are making life easy for their citizens, our foolish government is making it worse. May God judge everyone who put this government in power
Government of doom.
I read about this from friends and associates in the UK. It’s so embarrassing. I’m disappointed in this clueless and irresponsible government
This govt is ridiculous
Nigeria under Buhari is like a sinking Titanic ship.
NigeriaGov Our government is willing and able to spend billions to cater for unnecessary cravings of our politicians but never for the care and protection of citizens home and abroad. They can spend billions to rehabilitate terrorists but not to repatriate citizens abroad. Big shame
What is the benefit of being a Nigerian?
NigeriaGov A government that will never get tired of extorting her citizens. What a shame
Useless country
realDonaldTrump you how so called citizens of Nigeria is been treated
Stupidity of the highest order.
Source?
