Guys, tune to Aljazera now and see Nigerians begging for UN rescue. The funny thing is that they turned down Nig Govt rescue @ the request of the interviewer saying Naija is currently in chaos. The Lady said the previous night, the rebels came dragging them out to despoil them. I wonder why our Govt hasn't conducted the usual rescue operation as they did in other troubled Arab countries than begging the rebels to stop killing Nigerians.

Nigeria is in chaos indeed!

The Nigerian government sent a rescue and they turned it down. What else do they want? The UN? Send a rescue?

The UN did not even rescue the Tutsi when they were being macheted and their women being raped by the Hutus. What says they should come to their rescue now?

When people despise the country of their birth, what right do they have to ask for help?

Many of them are living in Libya ilegally. They have no papers so they ran away when Nigeria Govt. sent its rescue team thinking of how they will go back when the crisis ends. I feel sorry for them.
Re: Nigerians Trapped In Libya Being Interviewed By Aljezera Now! by fm7070: 3:08pm On Sep 04, 2011
living as illegal immigrant does not mean they are no more Nigerians. They are entitled to rescue at every point in time.
This useless Minister for Foreign Affairs should be sacked. That office is the most useless office in the Federal Cabinet.

I cease to blame the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I don't really think they're in dire danger! can you imagine the thrash that young woman was talking?  angry "We want the United nations to help us, we don't want assistance from the Libyan authority and our country (Nigeria) is not safe anymore"

*Abandons 7,000 stranded Nigerians

By VICTOR AHIUMA-YOUNG

NIGERIAN Ambassador to Libya, Ambassador Isah Mohammed Aliyu, has reportedly fled the country to Malta with his family, abandoned more than 7,000 stranded Nigerians at the Tripoli airport.

This came as the embittered Nigerians accuse the government of abandoning them and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of completely showing no interest in what was happening in Libya.


They said that in a bid to prevent the world from knowing actual situation of things in the country, the Libya security agencies did not permit entry with memory cards, camera and laptops into the airport, adding that the Nigerian government should emulate other countries that value their citizens, and initiate a massive evacuation of Nigerians in Libya now.

Rights activists
Meanwhile, rights activists, under the umbrella of the Campaign for the Rights of Nigerians in Diaspora, CRND, have raised alarm that over 7,000 Nigerians were still trapped in Tripoli Airport in Libya, while many more were yet to find their way to  either the airport or other exit ports.

The group faulted the Federal Government and its Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its attitude towards Nigerians in Diaspora, especially when other countries were working day and night to evacuate their citizens from Libya.

CRND said Nigerians or relatives of Nigerians still stranded in the North African country, should reach  one Mr. Solomon Okoduwa in Libya on +218923369805 or +218917266997 for assistance.


In a statement by CRND’s Secretary, Mr. Frank Malcom, the group claimed the stranded Nigerians planned to protest yesterday to draw the attention of government to their plight.

A Nigerian woman with two kids at the Tripoli airport was quoted in the statement as crying for help from Nigerians, human rights groups to appeal to the Nigerian government to evacuate them from Libya.
She said: “I have two kids with me here, and I have been in this airport for three weeks, no food to eat, we sleep on the floor everyday waiting for plane to come and evacuate us. Please beg Nigerian government to come  with bigger planes to evacuate us.”


Another [b]Nigerian, Mr. Solomon Okoduwa, who is the senior elder of Nigeria community in Libya, said “so far the Tripoli airport as at the time of call has recorded seven thousand Nigerians awaiting evacuation, aside those trapped in Benghazi and other states outside Tripoli. Most of them have been at the airport for several weeks; watching other countries coming with cargo planes and ships to evacuate their citizens almost every two hours, while Nigerians starve at the airport as there are no provision for food, water or place to sleep, even pregnant and nursing mothers [/b]are not excluded from the pains and suffering”.

before you start publishing trash from vanguard, tune in to Aljazeera live and listen to the interview granted to the small pockets of Nigerian community left behind in Libya. They said THEY WANT UNITED NATION not the NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.

The lady spokes person said NIGERIA IS NOT SAFE FOR THEM.

They should remain there till Ban Ki Moon sends help. angry
Re: Nigerians Trapped In Libya Being Interviewed By Aljezera Now! by 2good(m): 3:17pm On Sep 04, 2011
They are looking for how to run to Europe yet black people still believe that their problem is caused "solely" by the white man and refuse to take part of the blame for their current sorry state. The woman interviewed is in serious limbo by thinking that UN will come save them when she's most likely living illegally in Libya. They should all come back to Nigeria and stop saying nonsense to the press

You must be an IDIOOOOOTA

Did you read the reports and others like it from CNN, NPR and co? You want to condemn poor migrant workers and absolve those with the resources and responsibility to help them. Those who ran away from their responsibility?


Of course I saw the video, the girl said she wants to leave Libya but will prefer to go to Europe, of course she will say that when Western journalist are there to curry sympathy, it's a reasonable thing to say considering their circumstances.

Do you know how Many Nigerians use assylum and persecution excuses to stay abroad? even in the US and Europe

What do you know about Nigerians who go to Libya? Many of them are in Libya so they can cross to europe, so if there is a window of opportunity to appeal for that, what do you expect her to say?

You want her to appeal to a government that denied they are attacked? A government that abandoned people like her at the Tripoli airport while other countries rescued their own people. will you trust them after?

What choice did the Nigerian government give her, did you see a plane or ship parked beside her? Wha the eff is wrong with you?


Are you a migrant worker?

Have you ever left your home out of despair and frustration to seek work in a foreign land? Knowing you have nothing to return to.

Have you crossed the Desert barefooted with little food before?

The girl only said that to appeal for UN help on camera, she knows that is more possible and obviously she is correct. Where is The Nigerian Govt?  They Flew one or two flights and they ran away!

The situation in Libya  is terrible, and to think Nigeria expressed their support  for the rebels, it is really pathetic that we are now begging the "rats " as Gaddaffi described them.  they are killing our brothers in that country. a drastic action needs to be taken

Re: Nigerians Trapped In Libya Being Interviewed By Aljezera Now! by usbcable(m): 4:03pm On Sep 04, 2011
i watched the interview and the journalist never asked the lady if she were nigerian and the lady never at any point in time said she was nigerian.

it was only two males the journalists asked for their nationality that responded as being nigerians.

the lady only said when libyan rebels came in hilux cars to the camp the were chased away by a group of ''nigerians and other nationals'' after when the rebels claimed to wantin to violation the ladies in the camp. she then further said (at the behest of the journalist) that they want the UN to come to their aid . the journalist asked if they wanted the help of the libyan govt(NTC) the lady declined the offer saying the rebels will keep them as slaves and that they cant go back home because there is'' political unrest in their country''.

am not saying she is not nigerian or she is but she did not at any point in time declare her citizenship.

These guys had a chance to leave by awuf flights by the Federal Government but choose to stay, maybe they thought that the war will soon be over and they will cross to Europe, afterall bringing them back to Naija is like setting the hands of the clock way back for them.

Its unfortunate, but the Government has to act. They are afterall Nigerians even if stupid ones. people here are just condemning the government. Those of us that stayed back in Nigerian are stupid abi? If Nigeria is bad, maybe Libya is better for them! tongue

Any government is a reflection of the people being governed.

The same way the nigerian govt is busy recognising the rebels who are killing nigerians over there, while another branch of govt is busy denying there are any killings at all, is very much like what happens on nl.

All kinds of dimwits holding court here. Most of them know nothing besides how to lick foreign behinds.
