Wait a minute! Are there Nigerians living in Syria? As much as I subconsciously believe that Nigerians are everywhere, I find it hard to imagine that anyone would want to leave Nigeria to go live in Syria.

According to Ambassador Martin Uhoimoibhi, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Federal Government of Nigeria has ordered it's embassy in Syria to begin evacuating Nigerian citizens in the country.

The embassy was directed to ensure a safe passage for Nigerians in the event of any military actions against Syria by the United States and its allies.

I wonder if there are lots of citizens of other African countries in Syria. If you are there and you somehow stumble upon this post, your fellow countrymen called and they requested that you return home.

Here's to a safe return of citizens of other countries looking to evacuate before it gets really ugly.

Tuntheycr7: so naija govt cares??

YES THEY DO.

They also cared enough to send planes to evacuate Nigerians at the height of the Mubarak crisis in Egypt and the invasion of Libya!! In fact this Jonathan govt is one of the best administrations this country has ever seen.

Spot on! Jonathan is a man who doesn't think evil for another man,he's a kind man to the core. Only his administration has been able to satisfy dick,harry and tom and gives freedom of speech to every citizen. By the end of his tenure in 2019,Nigeria would be commanding great respect far and beyond and everyone would even be clamouring for him to do a third term.

So fg cared for the citizens abroad

That's a good thing, I'd say.

Belated action for a country where over 100,000 people have died in less than a year and chemical weapons were even used. Plausible action but terribly late!

Wrong. The earlier civil war situation in Syria was not something the FG needed to send planes for. With the imminent internationalization of the conflict, with US air strikes and cruise missiles expected, the conflict has entered another level there, hence the FG's timely decision to evacuate Nigerians from the region.
