Last week, the South African government deported 125 Nigerians, accusing them of
having fake yellow fever certificates. In what some have tagged a reflexive reaction, Nigerian
immigration a few days ago refused 28 South Africans entry into Nigeria, accusing them
of illegally entering the country vis the South Africa national carrier, South Africa Airways. The 28 people were reportedly not allowed to leave the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport as they were promptly sent back to their country. More people have since then been deported. This while the Nigeria's foreign minister, Olusegun Ashiru, issued the South African
government a warning to either behave toConsequently, the government has concluded plans to deport the 67 prostitutes who are believed to be HIV positive. The move is part of government deliberate policy to double the figure of the 125 Nigerians deported by South Africa before the consideration of any diplomatic solution to the lingering feud with the South African government."
It baffles the mind tho why Nigeria's government just suddenly discovered a prostitution ring owned by a South African, in any case, I think we should make a stand on issues such as discrimination against our people by the SA government. You can rightly say that FG is on point on this one.. Where this will lead no one can tell.. yet..but this breakdown in foreign relations between the two countries is nobody's fault but the South Africans.. #my2Cents
@kiss, i agree with u jare...its high time the Nigerian govt stand up for Nigerians in SA, you need to see level of discrimination Nigerians in SA face, fine, we have small amount of Nigerians doing drugs nd unlawful activities, we also have large amount of honest Nigerians here in SA, the media here in SA just chose to feed on the wrong doings of the small amount...both nations need each other, i know how much am paying in tax monthly...so let SA govt not come here and act like we need them most! mscheeeew!!!
