The diplomatic crisis between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is getting worse as the latter has stopped foreign airlines from airlifting Nigerians to Dubai.
According to reports, Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Air and other international airlines going to Dubai from their bases refused to board Nigerians whose final destination is the UAE.
The airlines it was gathered insisted that they have been directed not to airlift Nigerian passport holders to Dubai.
So far, hundreds of passengers are affected by this directive as Ethiopian Airline a few minutes ago offloaded their Nigerian passengers to Dubai.

Speaker gbajabiamila celebrated his mother in Dubai with our looted funds. Aisha buhari virtually lives in Dubai while her terrorist "husband" is in Nigeria like the proverbial mannequin. Ninety percentage of the underperforming ministers have already booked themselves and their families to meet and enjoy in Dubai this festive season. Ninety five percent of the useless jihadist legislators would be flying out of the zoo on the night of Dec 15 as soon as they end the session marking the end of the year. Now, their agbada Don hook barb wire. Neither the airlines nor the hotels will refund their money. Ntooooooooo!
