Momodu expressed discomfort after the FG banned one month of international flights to Nigeria to limit the spread of the coronavirus. A statement issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nigeria (NCAA) and signed by Musa Nuhu, Director of the NCAA, states that international flights are banned from Abuja's Murtalamhammad International Airport and Namdiajikiwe International Airport It was done from Monday, March 23 to April 23, 2020. This was done after the Federal Government ordered the closure of three international airports in the country. Maram Aminukano International Airport, Kano, Akaniubiam International Airport, Enugu. And Port Harcourt International Airport. But media entrepreneur Dele Momodu believed and opposed the decision by the FG for many (both Nigerian and foreign).
He wrote:
As always with us in Nigeria, we have once again seen the result of lack of preparation and coordination with the ill-informed and unnecessary decision to paralyse an entire nation and shut out all its citizens like orphans! I would have expected our leaders to give us comprehensive details of their plans instead of terse instructions. What's the purpose of saying no Nigerian can travel in or out of Nigeria from Monday for one month? So all Nigerians currently abroad who are not residing in those countries will suddenly become destitute when their finances run out. They must all abort their trips and return by tomorrow. And those foreigners already in Nigeria, plus investors or workers on temporary visits will be imprisoned here for one month. Who bears the costs? What about the thousands of jobs? Who will pay them or feed their families? We can do much better by making life easier for our people in these difficult times instead of complicating their lives and giving them mental anguish. Even in more advanced countries, there is always a method to madness. The closures are meticulously controlled and palliatives offered as incentives. All we are seeing here is so bizarre. Different Ministers issuing different directives without explaining how the people would not be made to suffer. As always, it is the poor that will bear the brunt of this total closure!!! Government should find ways of reducing the pains and this should be made public as soon as possible...

📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. #jaiyeorie ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
