Fed Govt demands review of Yellow Fever certificate policyNIGERIA hit back at South Africa last night.
Twenty-eight South Africans were denied entry into Lagos – a tit for tat that has deepened the row between the two countries.
South Africa last Friday deported 125 Nigerians from the Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johanesburg after denying them entry into the country for allegedly possessing fake yellow fever certificates. The Federal Government frowned at the action.
The 28 passengers flew into the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos aboard a South African Airways flight at about 9.30pm.
They were expected to be deported last night or this morning.
A source said: "The Federal Government decided to deny these 28 South Africans entry because of invalid documents and relevant health certificate clearance.

Nigeria is the biggest black nation on earth, it has the capability of holding its own amongst the committee of nations, we have over the years been treated with scone and disdain by fellow nations of the world both in Africa and elsewhere... they call us names and black list us but they forget that Nigeria is well able to mete out the same treatment they meted to us to their citizens and companies in Nigeria. I would like to commend the Nigerian government for taking a step in that direction and for fighting for its people..
One Nigeria citizen is as equal to one American or Briton, South African or European!!! If one Nigerian is treated wrongfully by these or any nation on this earth, Nigeria should reciprocate at all cost.
So i commend the Nigerian government for departing 28 South African citizens and barring them from entering our sovereign state Nigeria in reciprocation to the deportation of 125 Nigerians that were deported and refused entry in South Africa after they had been refused food and water for 24 hours. that was inhumane, there were children and women among those deported and they still didnt give them food nor water...
Do the math... we need to send another 97 South Africans back from Nigeria.
