The new scam is COVID-19 testing and protocols for entry and departure out of Nigeria. If I tell you the hell my mom went through just to get back to the states, you will continue to confirm the level incompetence and corruptness of this country is a disease.
I went to Jamaica in August and did my COVID-19 test as instructed, did not have to pay to upload my results on the country's portal, and upon entry was asked for what was required and was out the airport within 15 minutes.
Nigeria on the other hand, charges 50,000 Naira to upload your results, has changed its timing of the test 3 times, went from 48 hours, to 72 hours, to 96 hours, to now 120 hours. Then after you pay on their website you are suppose to get QR barcode. Tell me why the barcodes are not coming in the email provided as mentioned. Someone I know paid 3 times, just for it to finally come the 3rd time, ask me if she was refunded the previous 2 transactions......NO.
Then once you arrive in Nigeria, even if you have everything required, they scrutinize everything, and threaten you with quarantine in govt. facility in order to collect another bribe. Just disgusting. If you are from the diaspora and dont need to go to Nigeria urgently, I would recommend you staying at home till things get back to normal. My prayers is by then, the country will be on its way to separation. Mad people
