DISTURBED by the increasing rate at which Nigerians migrate illegally abroad, the Senate may summon the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ojo Maduekwe and the Comptroller General of Immigration, Joseph Ude, to brief it on measures to curb the practice.

A motion to that effect, which has been published in the Senate Notice Paper, would be debated next week when the Upper House resumes sitting.

Sponsored by Senator Wilson Ake (Rivers) and 19 others, the motion canvassed urgent measures to be taken to address unemployment in the country to stop youths from embarking on illegal trips abroad.

The motion also asked the Federal Government to ensure the revival of ailing industries and assist the organised private sector to generate more jobs, noting that the illegal practice was prompted by "the search for the proverbial golden fleece without sufficient information of the immigration laws and the regimes applicable in the countries of their destinations."

Spot on! You've said it all

You slap me and tell me not to cry. Make life sweet for Naija and you can make any law you like.

Tell them to not to worry, because we shall soon close the borders, without their say so. This will give

us an opportunity to deal with these mandarins. Yeye people.

the Govt must be smoking weeds!!!

The Country is getting worse by the day and u dont want youths to run comot abi?

Then dey mad. Let them go ahead and pass some yeye law to block us, if i wont personally handle their mess

Sick pple

ao will it be possible?
with the porous entrance at Magama (Katsina), idiroko & others?,

I hope this will include their own kids too that do all it takes to go study abroad and stay there afterwards.

Bogus topics to debate at the senate which they will never take action upon, Lets wait and see if they will build the great wall of nigeria to cage us.,

Our Senators are jokers, never take them serious for any hearing . . . nothing will change.

simple

What the hell are these guy's thinking? Stop these unemployed graduates from leaving Naija by any means? But, wait, that may be good for naija, because if all these unemployed graduates won't migrate abroad by any means, then they will stay in Naija unemployed, probably, that may create an opportunity for them to really see how our corrupt politicians are handling the oil money(which is the cause of the chaos in Naija today) and may be one day, they will take to the streets in large numbers to protest for a change. Who knows! God bless Naija.

Fix naija and people will stop migrating illegally and dont come up with some funny rules because some naija guys will gladly devise means of breaking them! If you wanna confirm what i mean senators , go and ask the British High Commision!

The ones debated on ,what solution have they come up with,useless Senators.

These leaders make statements that makes you wonder if they think with their ass.Why would anyone leave the country illegally if life were easy here?

THERE ARE MORE BETTER THINGS TO DEBATE IN THE HOUSE JO. EVEN THE ONE THEY HAVE DEBATED ON WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME.

FOOLS

Senate? Stop migration? including their children and family members? order only their own family members abroad to come back and you will see that only a few nigerians would be abroad!!

whos loosing,if that happens that they close the borders,then the NIS should be ready to go hungry!

idle fools

And sadly, its another money spinner for some of them senators . . . 

Emigration hike is a display of the hardship that Nigerians are facing daily.

true

How many Americans are leaving America illegally or how many British are illegal immigrant in other countries. If Nigeria is OK why would anyone be leaving it illegally.

These politicians should address the real problem jo. Another waste of time and taxpayer’s money to debate nonsense, instead of debating the real issues; power, bad roads, unemployments etc

THE SENATORS, PRESIDENT AND ALL THOSE THAT ARE @ THE TOP MIGRATE ILLEGALLY,
EVEN NIGERIAN'S MONEY, BUT THIS MEN TRAVEL WITH THERE HARD EARN CURRENCY
TRYING TO GET THERE EYES OF THE FACE OF THE VULTURE WHO CALL THEM SELF
LEADER FOR. FOR PEACE TO RAIN THEY SHOULD TAKE THERE EYES OF FROM THESE GUY

All we have in this country are sets of dull leaders, when there are real issues affecting the country and these issues is the main cause of the immagration like the dull speaker said, shouldn't they fix the issues rather than chasing shadows?

This is what I call freedom of Expression

These people have lost touch with reality. So stopping people from Migrating against their will is the solution??

It that not what they want. They are not ignorant of what they are doing.
They would never raise any bill on creating more job opportunities for the youths, rather the want to check on migration which they know the country is incapable of.
They want all the youths to flee the country, by crook or by hook, leaving them to run the country as they like and that means a greater portion of our resource.

[size=26pt]" i love my country i no go lie, na inside am i go live and die!, "[/size]    _story!

I don't understand this senators. sometimes i think we are wasting our money on them.who doesn't know that our problem in nigeria is power. with constant electricity things will naturally turn-around. Another issue is that we should have one legislative arm. The two are doing the same thing

i love my country i no go lie, na inside am i go live and die!, " lol,lol,lol

Damn mother fucking damned ass pot bellied idiots. Really cunning ones they are
