Thanks to Almighty, Please They Uk. Should Be Reminded That We Have Completed And Reached The Required Votes To Charge Nigerian Government And It's Officials To The ICC

Boris Johnson make haste, get out of Biafra land, you have stolen enough, nobody is interested in coming to that your imperialist country.

The Nigerian govt. should defend this accusation and this ban on Nigerians travelling to UK. Our senior health officers have not detected this virus. There is no news of the in Nigeria.

The one big reason why it’s happening is because the biggest number of visitors to South Africa are Nigerians followed by Brits (since early 2000s). And more than half of these visitors will also visit the UK (more Nigerians travel to the UK than all of Africa combined.

E good o!!

I laugh in Belgium Flemish language, Time shall tell all these dramas. I am waiting for tomorrow news, please update me on time thanks

I saw this coming immediately they decided to add Nigeria to the list 😂😂😂😂 The British come to our land and milk our natural resources and impoverish our people and when our people leave to look for greener pastures to Britain, they are also denied Visas. BRITSH HYPOCRISY 💯

Buhari was quick to ban Twitter. Let them ban the UK na. It's all about personal ego and not national dignity.

Nigeria is not a serious country being afar & as a Nigerian honestly we are not a serious country. Starting from the people to institutions & sleepy govt, Purpose of government is not well understood from low brain officials both in Uniform &non Uniform. No common goals or drive

biafra4ever Afrika should seize this opportunity to develop Afrika instead of being a puppet to white supremacists who steal their resources to impoverish them.

Will they deny Buhari Visa? Don't forget he has been seeing the same doctors for the last 100 years in the UK, we can't change that at the last minute 😏

Time to ban all UK visitors to in our soil. We definitely need to stay respected and appreciated I was hoping Nigeria closed its gates immediately this was noticed in neighbouring South Africa.

A Country that lied over a live Video of its Soldiers murdering the Citizens, expects the World to rely on their Data submissions? No Dear! As at this moment, if Nig Govt says it has 3 Omicron Cases, the World will believe it has 3000 cases. What we get for our crooked ways!

The reality remains; you can never be trust worthy as a slave you're build to be discriminate by your master.

I don't know why people are quick to point fingers at Nigeria when they see little abnormalities,when someone brought it to Nigeria did the heavens fall?,why are people complaining as if the virus started in nigeria.we should be sincere with ourselves

This will not stop travel from Nigerians into the UK. They will simply use their UK passports to abuse our NHS as they did in 2020. There were thousands and thousands of them travelling on government flights to use the NHS.

When a country is led by fools this is what you get. When South Africans was banned from coming to the UK that was when your president (not mine) decided to invite South African President and his entourage to Abuja, he did not take prompt action to stop flights from SA. Now this.

Mind you that all this is scarm,because at first dey noticed that africans are not affected by corona so dey plan this for u to take vaccine,think twice

It's already around the world. Mind as well to ride it out.

Nigeria government jump into this Omicron thinking there will be palliative like covid-19 cases but now reverse is the case

The story is always the same, bad government, bad government and then bad government

Okwu akwula......🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have Chinese being banned as well since they are the originator of the virus or is Britain afraid to that 🚶🚶

MBuhari did you hear 👂 that?.

♟ ♟ ♟

Nothing like Omicron in Nigeria. Nigeria govt just want to cage her citizens in that hell called nigeria and also, to get money from UN.

I wish they could also stop interfering in our politics as well so we at least elect our own leaders, in a few years Europeans will beg to live in Nigeria.

We go dey alright.. UK no be heaven

You know thats a big white lie

Nigeria have lost its value in the eyes of the world our case is different because we have failed to value ourselves and also that of others our problem is stomach infrastructure and looting of funds while we remain backwards no country want to have anything to do us its a shame

Absolute BS...see Nigeria..

Go get vaccinations and raise the figures

Will they refund

Nothing like omicron in nigeria, it's fake

IamtheOGee What if Buhari need medical emergency in United kingdom ?

They thought loan will come as usually. But this time their plans will be exposed

We can also close our borders. Let's suspend travels, we will not die except those with stolen money.

The global discrimination against Africans will never end. COVID started in China and the World is not saying anything about it. Omicronbis a mutant resulting from those vaccinated. I won't be surprised Nigerians testing positive are those who took the vaccines just to travel.

Time is the problem but we're waiting

Very quick at hitting us with sanctions but when Delta variant was ravaging them, what did we do?

It’s not a news again

Their is more to this ,next year economy wont be friendly with Nigerian citizens in that order….

Better atleast..BUHARI can treat himself for some period in our locally equipped hospital...y always running to UK when he singlehandedly make our Health sector better than ITALY Health sector

See how quick they are to implement it cos its Nigeria, but when China did it they were very calm

They are afraid of African migration,,,,it's simple

UK was red zone for 2 years already

UKinNigeria is useless.... God of Africa is available to protect his children. Why UK didn't suspend China virus Corona? UK make more money in Nigeria... Ndi ara.

Wizkid concert goers pls isolate

Let them hold their UK, at least they created the mess in Nigeria..

AFCON is now in danger, these people are playing Ludo with our sense

BorisJohnson should make sure Nigeria oil is on the list too. Also, CatrionaLaing1 and UKinNigeria must be added to the list. If Nigeria had not happened to many, no one would want to go to that Godforsaken UK for murderering Biafrans. EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives EndNigeriaNow

We do not have enough man power in UK, yet Mr Prime Minister is closing doors on Nigerians. No worries let us see who does the early morning shifts.

These is why Africa have to embrace peace and unity and forget about ethnic bigotry driven activism as these continue to tear us apart while the western nations continue to evolve and develop and ban and maltreat us as they wish

Now you can see what you've caused the immigrants! I don't know which test kits our mumu leaders used to detect Omicron. They act before thinkin

Most of UK & Canada's omicron cases are from Nigeria. Learn to walk straight, stop making it difficult for them to discriminate against you, until then, enjoy the ban & reflect on your cut corner ways. Cheers!

Unto the same hoax covid that is geared towards transhumanization? GOVUK

World leaders should be the best people not those ' with weirdest haircut 😅

Ok nau

Una papa

Why didn't they add Western Countries who have hundred of cases; we now have White Omicron and Black Omicron This is Pathetic!

🤣👊😂. Omo this one enter oooo
