No fewer than 25,000 Nigerians are living in Italy illegally and the Nigerian govt. is not folding her hands in the wake of this revelation.
This was part of the agenda of the closed door meeting between the Nigerian Foreign minister, Chief Ojo Maduekwe and his Italian counterpart, Dr. Franco Frattini in Abuja on Wednesday.
Briefing the media after the meeting, Chief Ojo Maduekwe said the federal government will do everything necessary to have the illegal aliens to return to the country even as he told his guest to always accord the Nigerians their human rights.
"As part of the Citizen Diplomacy of this government, we still want our people to be respected wherever they may be even as we do not encourage any Nigerian to travel to any country illegally, but in the case of Italy, we are also happy that we have another 40,000 Nigerians living there legitimately".
Abeg My people,If things continue this way,dont you think Nigerians will soon start agitating for new states creation for them, in countries like Italy?
