eturn home” on the website of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission.One of the conditions for evacuation expressly stated in the form is that Nigerian nationals willing to join the evacuation flights planned by the Federal Government must be tested for coronavirus and certified negative.
“You MUST get tested for the Virus in your country of residence and be issued an Authorised Health Clearance Certificate attesting that you are COVID-19 free. This Certificate MUST be presented and authenticated by officials at the Airport in your country of departure before you are allowed to board the Aircraft,” part of the requirements read.
Another requirement was that the cost of travel would be paid by the potential evacuees and upon landing, they would be placed on a 14-day compulsory quarantine at a location approved by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. Confirming this development, NIDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said the coronavirus test requirement is based on the NCDC protocol and must be adhered to.“Dear Madam, we have been instructed to go for a COVID-19 test before we can be considered for evacuation from the United States. This is both sad and shocking to us considering that we are visitors in the US with no access to any health and social care benefits,” a user, Adeolu Anthony Olagunju, had informed the NIDCOM chairman.
Responding, Dabiri-Erewa said, “Beyond NIDCOM power. It is an NCDC protocol based on very cogent reasons, I am sure. We will continue to engage with them. If anything changes, our embassy will inform you. Scary times but the Lord will heal the world as we do look forward to welcoming you home soon.”had reported that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had announced its plans to evacuate Nigerians stranded abroad amid the pandemic despite airport closure.power.
Yes.... very important
Do they want to come themselves? Does our government want them come back? Or the govt there want them out? If they want them out, there is political motive behind it; it is too bad. Our govt should do all to save them and all Nigerians.
Chai...who have we offended
See ur face
Abike l really ave high regards for u
What is she saying, so if am tested negative in abroad you will come and evacuate me, never, who does that. That's bombomclaat. Let the virus in nigeria disappear before we can come back.
Yeye dey smell...USA didnt say thesame about their citizens abroad. I balme who ever chooses to come back sef for now except u are not in the real abroad😊
Damn...then tell me what if they are shunned i mean Kicked out by the country they are in too
Those that want to return are definitely the illegal immigrants.
Discrimination. Bad!
Mama, What are they coming to Do? For the better hospitals or doctors.
Nor mind them
If any Nigerians test positive FG will dump the person? Rubbish and nonsense.
Laughable, which nigerians will agreed to come home to surfer.
What if they tested positive, Will you abandon them there I thought you are treating and discharging those infected in Nigeria.
No place like home,.the arrogance of travelling abroad is ,beginning of humility by corona,virus,and Nigeria agenda
So many of them tested positive after they reached to China for business last month.pls take them back homelands and treat them with our good medical.
How many Nigerians are coming back to a place with no infrastructures.
Something he should have done from the beginning but because he is wired to borrow money he waited for moments like this when he'll seek for money. If he likes he should not isolate them when they get here. I don't understand how this government reason things
The condition for bringing them back home is for them to accept to be quarantined for 14 days. That's what China is doing to inbound travellers with amazing results. We should forget about advisory on self isolation. It doesn't work here because of some people's pride.
Idiots every where , by the way they don’t see our response bufrom I must say what if after testing negative and they develop th symptoms weeks after, Assholes’
Good
Hmm! And what if they don't test negative? What will be their fate?
That is not necessary. All you need is bring them in and quarantine them for 14 days. If anyone among them tests positive, let him be treated here. Our health workers are doing better in the management of this COVID 19. You people should stop this delay tactics
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 too much sense no go kee u.
And if anyone testa Position you will abandon the person just like that? Messedupcountry
Test them there so they can cone in separate flights though! To protect the ones not infected but please don't leave them behind. Please!/
That doesn't sound right. They should isolate them here and treat the infected ones.
Else they die out there because none her family
i see. if it happen to your relative tell them first test negative. nonsensically beautiful nonsense
FOOLS... FRAUDULENT REPTILES
As simple as that. Because they were negative when travelled to their various countries of residence.
And u think they will come. Imagine telling a servant in a good house to leave to his village where are d witches and native doctors are killing people. Adabi u understand. If some of us hv d opportunity we will join them over there. Shameless pipo
When will you stop this your GUTTER REPORTAGE ? Before we know it now, you'd go write some stupid correctional article to correct this madness which you intentionally did. Must you go on reporting falsehood? Chai! 🙄
They won't come, wat are they coming to do in a country that depends on borrowed money and donations to run the government? No ventilators if not for jack ma, all the covid-19 donated funds have been siphoned or pumped into the government's account.
Abi ,y then did u not allow the previous ones test negative before coming
This is what I have been trying to say since. This is a good step in the right direction. This will contain the risk. abikedabiri. But I advice that this should be applied to people of all class whether rich, average or poor. It is the best way to manage the risk.
Postitive or negative test to the virus can't and shouldn't be a condition to return one's country. It shouldn't at all
If you are sick, you are not from Nigeria.
What gives you the impression that any Nigerian who has been tested negative abroad will follow you home. I can see that you and your principal are jobless and cannot reason well.
This is a dumb statement from abikedabiri . You are losing your dignity lately madam.
Once they are positive, it becomes the other countries problem abi?
Do we have enough beds for the numbers coming in?
Stupid woman.
You better leave those ones alone,their chances are better there than it is here except you have another country for them.... Cluelessness can't be hidden,it just betrays u.
So if they are positive what will happen You will abandon them to die there? This 2020 no country will attend to another citizens...everybody on his own. This is what happen when you refused to build your home. MBuhari just heardrum pains you went to private hospital in UK.
Thank you for using your brain for once
Hmmm...abori olorun....😓
Imagine rubbish. So if they are positive then they are no more Nigeria citizens.. I keep wondering how we got to this level.. Imagine a statement for our so called govt
See government !!!! Nigerians you pple are finished
What happens to the achi ese Doctors the govt is bringing? Aren’t we going to quarantine them for 14days too?
Part of the evacuation necessity is to receive adequate medical care at homeland if already infected. This is a pandemic, if they so far test negative then they are better left there. How do you know they won't get even more exposed and consequently infected in Nigeria? BringThem
Did you mentor test their citizens before evacuate them? Mtweee
What's the need for testing negative in Nigeria, if I can test positive in Peace in abroad.
'Nigerians' should mean all Nigerians! Please
This is a very difficult yardstick. Considering how difficult it is to get tested if you aren't showing any symptoms in most of these countries. This appears too stringent. It's the same as asking them not to expect any help from the Government.
So we are going to disown our oen because they test positive? Who the hell is advising this government?
Good idea but this should not stop them from being quarantined at least 14 days on arrival to 9ja in case the testing kits failed to give accurate results.
So if they test positive, you can abandon them and leave them to their fate abi. If your child were to test positive, would you abandon her? This country can't surprise me anymore.
So that what will happen ? You want to leave the positive ones for who?
please what are they coming to Nigeria to do, to die? No Nigerian abroad wants to come to Nigeria, stop wasting your time, this is another means to loot.....
I want to give an advise to Nigeria presidency, the this issue of convid-19 issue, begans from the rich people in Nigeria but you failed to closed down the airport since is not local sickness. But you can shutdown all activities against the masses
So its a conditional evacuation ni
So what happens to them if they test positive, you leave them Interesting
Is the isolation facilities in Nigeria more likely to contain these people than the facilities in where they are overseas?
On the other hand prepare to isolate them for 2 weeks.
Ook this one makes sense good job on that ma.

This is outrageous abikedabiri bearing my surname doesn’t mean should back this up what about those white people staying here did they test them before evacuate them dis Nigeria 🇳🇬 of a thing is Condem
zubichild bode_black
And when they are positive, they will be dump there.
Chinese government have decided to engaged Africans and mostly Nigerians in China in a state of coercion,infringement, loathsome and violation of human rights. Dis is a rebellious act to the human race nd to the black community all over the world. This must stopped!! Woo to China

Wrong. The most be quarantined for at least 7days in a hotel which they would pay for and get tested aroud the 5th to 7thday to be sure. So get infected in the airport sef.
That is a very good ideal. Don't bring them home and inflict us with coronavirus.
That's the right thing to do
Chinese that came in where they tested?
And if dey test positive, u dump Dem der right,, Issoraite continue
This didn’t include the chief of staff and the confederates that attended that party in London. This exempts the powerfully connected.
Good one 👍
They might test negative there because of the window period of the illness and get here after few days to test positive. My advice to this madam abikedabiri is to quarantine them for 14 days. All of them, No I.M
Abroad that has not finished testing their people are going to test them?lol
That's better
MUST sounded somehow though that’s the right thing to do
You're right mummy i support you
Dump head government 😕
Meanwhile positive US citizens were evacuated from Nigeria.
I gree for this one
Tell them ooooh
