Nigeria criticises UK Covid red list as ‘travel apartheid’ – BBC News
Nigeria has criticised Britain’s travel restrictions after it was placed on the red list amid fears over the Omicron variant.
“What is expected is a global approach, not selective,” Sarafa Tunji Isola, Nigeria’s high commissioner to the UK, told the BBC on Monday.
He also echoed comments made by the UN’s chief, who described restrictions imposed on some southern African countries as “travel apartheid”.
New rules came into force at 04:00 GMT, which means travellers arriving from Nigeria will be required to enter hotel quarantine – at their own expense.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Further, African leaders are arguing to get formulas for vaccines that over 40% of the western populations themselves refuse to take… No disrespect, but are you serious?? Up and until a few months ago there was barely any COVID cases in the Continent. Then a White South African doctor discovers a variant and all of a sudden Africa is to blame… Why do you feel the need to insert yourself into someone else's misery. This condemnation is not yours. Have you seen the demonstrations in Europe and the US? You want these people who have committed genocide against us to now come and stick their hypodermics full of God knows what in our babies? They do not produce cures, only treatments. Dr. Sebi produced cures for Aids, Cancer, and a whole host of other diseases, from "natural" sources, they imprisoned him and poisoned him.
The Higher Power is hitting them with diseases and you are fighting your hardest to get next to them to share in the punishment that is not yours? This was prophesied long ago… And not only disease, 32 tornadoes across five US Midwestern states in 24 hours… We have fought hard and supported you all throughout the apartheid years. Sports stars from African America, the Caribbean and Black British populations, then when it comes time for you to get together with us so we can support each other, you turn around and shake hands with the same Muzungu people who in their heart of hearts are wishing for your death and destruction. How is that possible??
Well my African family, we are still here and we are still fighting for righteousness, truth and justice, even after 500 years in the belly of the beast. We will never leave you, because we know who we are, whether you care to accept us or not.

Good Lord! Personally I would be thanking all the Gods that the UK put me on their "Red List". The UK and Europe has way more Corona Virus infections than any country on the Continent. If I was not already there, you could not pay me to go there. African countries should be putting the UK and Europe on their "Black List"…. Are you kidding me. These countries have been bringing disease to the Continent for centuries… At one point they infected 70% of the Namibia population with Aids. Wakey, wakey Africa… Further, you do not need western formulas or patents to produce your own vaccine. There is a Trillion Dollar market for a vaccine made from natural substances and you have everything you need right there on the Continent to produce one. Think about it! If you want to produce a chemical based vaccine, why not partner with Cuba? Don't be a follower especially of known criminals, liars and deceivers. Your looted artifacts are still being held illegally in their museums… Only last week the US was actively supporting insurgents to overthrow the legitimate Ethiopian Government. Why is it that you feel the need to do business with these people and win their approval… Come on. Put your own interests first. There is nothing in the west but more of the same. The US is barely 300 years old, Europe and the UK, 3,000, Africa over 200,000. Need I say more. The answers you seek are right there at home or within your highly prominent, enlightened and capable diaspora… We are here trying to connect with you to give you additional strings to your bow and you are ignoring us to spend time arguing with the miscreants that created the problems in the first place. Please, we need you to understand this and thank you in advance 🙂 Shap Shap

You are only busy of taking Britisch scollarship for Nigeria money. This is not only Britisch challeges. There are challeges everywhere laying around you that you are failing to See everyday and get it cure. This is always wonderful for me. Stop crying and show the World now that you do without Britisch. 😭

Why is nobody talking about the Downing st press room? The video of the press conference were she talks about the cheese and wine party could not have taken place in the new conference room as shown in the video as claimed as the renovation wasn’t complete until much later March or April I believe.
Last November /December it would have been pre renovation condition.THINK ABOUT IT. It’s bullshit yet again.They’re trying to clear a path for his resignation as it’s getting too hot for him.If you don’t pay attention you won’t notice when they fuck up..and they constantly trip themselves up.

Africa's biggest problem is that of lack of leadership. Right now all the African countries in the Commonwealth should have started treating to leave the Commonwealth as a sign of protest against such a racist and the highest level of discrimination by the western countries. It's really said that in this day and age we have people of a particular race who still feel they are superior to any other race. The biggest problem is that those that still control the power in these countries are old people who are out of touch with the realities on the ground. Shame on the western governments who made this choice.
