No fewer than 300 Nigerians living in the Republic of Botswana have been deported home by Lieutenant General Seretse Khama Ian Khama’s administration in the past few months, after the authorities refused to renew their permits.

The angry deportees want President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Assembly to quickly look into the relations between Bostwana and Nigeria in order to ascertain the true conditions of Nigerians living in that country.

The returnees, most of whom had lived and worked in the Southern African country, said since the assumption of General Khama, whose mother was of British origin, Nigerians in that country had been subjected to dehumanising conditions and racial abuse, even when, they claimed, they had been law-abiding and of good behavior.

Alleging that the target of the Khama government had been how to get rid of innocent Nigerians pursuing a just course or doing genuine businesses in the country, they claimed that all their efforts to make the Bostwana authorities understand that they were peace-loving and not interested in criminal activities fell on deaf ears as they were only interested in sending them out without any reason.

Speaking with Vanguard on the ordeals of Nigerians in the hands of the Botswana officials, Mr. Kingsley Ndubuisi from Anambra State, who returned to the country without his belongings in September, this year, said all Nigerians whose permits expired were forcefully deported, leaving their property, wives and children behind.

The most annoying of all the troubles Nigerians are facing in that country accoprding to him, is the incessant stamping of, PI, meaning Prohibited Immigrant on the passport of Nigerian nationales by the Bostwana authorities; the implication is that such a person cannot enter Bostwana again, according to Ndubuisi.

He said some of the victims of the “flush Nigerians policy” are well trained Nigerian doctors, pharmacists and businessmen such as Chinaenye Uzoho, Chinonso Opara, Dr. Henry,Vitus Kingsley Ikekwem, Chika Uzo, among others.

Ndubuisi claimed that all these Nigerians were escorted to the airport in handcuff and leg chains like notorious criminals. “There is also a pharmacist who live in Phikwe married to a Botswana citizen; he was also given Prohibited Immigrant, PI, and he is still waiting in detention for his deportation,” Ndubuisi alleged.

The only solution to this constant embarrassment of Nigerian citizens is to sort out Nigeria. Every country is tired of Niger people and their wahala and crime!

It appears the SADC countries are beginning to take a hard stance on Nigerians resident in their countries. A friend of mine from Botswana once told me about the reservations they have about Nigerians. It's a pity Nigerians are getting deported from everywhere and anywhere!

Wow! NIGERIANS this is what the rest of the world think about us so keep destroying the only place u call home n expect others to take us in, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. So if w e want to keep up the corruption den go head let destroy the country the good news is w e will suffer it together. W e aint running any where. Cos they will keep deporting u back here. (Them no they tell blind man say rain dey full).

I doubt if there would are people from SE and North among the deportees, all I could see is people frm the East, anyway, u can get another passport, change ur name, and return before nextweek runs out.

Is Botswana in Europe?

Moral of this story:

Do unto yourselves what you also want others to do unto you.



If Nigerians have worked in total harmony and built up our country to what it is supposed to be,who will dare raise a finger against us?

Countries like Botswana would be groveling at our feet begging our citizens to come to their country.



This should be a lesson to those Nigerians who come to Nairaland and heap insults and curses against themselves.

Botswana ke! And why is it that all the people mentioned by the poster are igbos?

Botswana is a nice country but Batswana are xenophobic. I lived there for a while..

The is a disgrace to the giANT of africa. I weep for my dear country.

Its no surprise, Fashola did same to Nigerians in Lagos unfortunately our weak govt did not know the implication of such action. shame on us.

Hehehehe,

Cotonou (Benin Republic) go soon deport us! Yeye Country!
