Dubai Opens New Chapter for Nigeria
Victory has relations, vanquish is an orphan, notes an ancient African axiom. As Nigeria fades due to economic mismanagement, the world has decoupled in many ways. The US embassy has turned off its visa website for weeks now. The UK has a bigger high voltage searchlight as it sieves the few allowed. But check, you are on your own.
Dubai (UAE) cannot be left behind: “Consequently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Thursday, informing Nigerians less than 40 years of age not to travel to Dubai as they are unqualified for tourist visas under the new UAE visa rules." Hopefully, our villages will find new visitors (with prepaid negotiations with bandits).
Of course, no one will blame the UAE if you see what some young men are doing there!
