‘Go to hell, Nuhu Ribadu has balls’ – Fani-Kayode blasts Canadian embassy over visa row

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Friday challenged the Canadian embassy in Nigeria to “go to hell.”

Fani-Kayode made the remark while commending the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, for berating the embassy after it denied Nigerian Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, and other military officials visas.

Musa and some military chiefs were scheduled to speak at a veterans’ event in Canada but were denied entry visas.

Reacting, Ribadu said, “They can go to hell.”

Fani-Kayode praised Ribadu, stating that Nigeria now has an NSA with “some balls” who can stand up to foreigners.

Posting on X, Fani-Kayode wrote: “At last, we now have an NSA that has some balls and that is prepared to stand up to foreigners that treat our people with contempt.

“@NuhuRibadu was right when he said that the Canadian Embassy was being ‘disrespectful’ by not granting visas to some of our military top brass, including the CDS, who were scheduled to attend a formal event in their country. He also told them to ‘go to hell!’

“Proud of you, Nuhu. The days of foreign governments kicking us in the teeth and getting away with it are long over.

“What makes this case worse is that Canada may not even be a sovereign, independent country for much longer if @realDonaldTrump has his way and may end up being the 51st state of America!

“Imagine a conflicted entity like that, which is not sure of its own future, treating our senior military officers with contempt.

“They should not only ‘go to hell’ but they should also go and jump in the lagoon.

“Nigeria has paid her dues and MUST be treated with respect.”
