President Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigerian migrants in dire straits in Libya will be identified and brought back home in the wake of global condemnation of the sale of African refugees into slavery in Libya.

The president, during an interaction with the Nigerian community in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire on Tuesday, said his administration will make the country conducive to discourage the youth from risking their lives.

“In the interview some of you saw, some of the Nigerians said they were being sold like goats for few dollars for years in Libya. Now after 43 years of Gaddafi where he recruited so many people from the Sahel including Nigeria and so on, all they learnt was how to shoot and kill,” he said.

“They didn’t learn to become electricians, plumbers or any other trade. So, when the Libyans stood against their leader those who are not their people, they chased them out. A lot of them came back home with their workers, some of them participated in Boko Haram and become part of Boko Haram.

“So, I’m telling you that our major problem as we have identified is still the security of the country.

We have done much better everybody is saying it.

“We are doing our best and the leadership at all levels are doing their best and the problem we are having with those who are being indoctrinated and are hurting our people, blowing up people in mosques, churches, marketplaces, motor parks, this is absolute madness.

“No religion advocates violence, all religion advocate justice from your home, town, household to whatever you become, Justice is the basic thing all religion demand it as you can’t go wrong if you do it.

“Whenever Nigerians are identified especially in Libya and so on, we hope to evacuate them back home and then rehabilitate them because the indoctrination is what is happening with the Boko Haram where girls will strap themselves mostly from the ages of 15 downwards and go to the market blow themselves up and anybody around in motor parks, mosques, churches and so on.”

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the senior special assistant on diaspora and foreign affairs, said 5000 Nigerians stranded in Libya have been brought back to the country under the present administration.

Ok but the response should have been aggressive. Libyans disrespected Nigerians in the worst way and we reply by saying “we bring them home and we’ll bring more home”.

Never knew comprehension could be this hard

The dumbo have just woken from slumber and given an already prepared cabalistic speech to read which adds no value.

Believe the unrepetant liar at your own peril ...I dont know a single thing Buhari has ever said and fulfilled..I dare any zombie to prove me wrong

Jubril has spoken.

Below is what to expect from Lai;

"...the atmosphere has potholes, so we have contracted Julius Berger to rectify it, as it won't be healthy for aircrafts. We urge every Nigerian in Libya to go about their normal daily businessness because WE ARE ON TOP OF THE MATTER"

after how many year?

Rubbish talk from a man with no iota of sense and reality. Nigerians are slaughtered daily, here in the country, and he did absolutely NOTHING! How much more in faraway Lybia? Keep deceiving yourself and the gullible lots that sing your praises.

A Nigerian president will rally AU peace-keepers/peace-enforcers almost immediately, and go flush out those miscreant perpetrating such a heinous crime on their fellow Africans, but NO, he's busy junketeering!!

Shameless, useless and wasteful government!!!

They play politics even with human lives.

When would they be brought back Mr. President?

Would they be brought back dead or alive?

Ok.

Action speaks louder than voice.

When

You have to give credit when it's due,the govt has been trying to bring them back,so well kudos,but more should still be done...

Add

since majority of them are from the east, Bring only Patriotic Igbos. Those who want biafra should remain in Libya. Nonsense

When Mr President

What took them there in the first place?

Brought back alive or dead my president?

If they put all their hope In Buhari hmmmmmm
Na death sentence bi that oooo!

Baba GoSlow.

Only talking now because every important dignitary across the world has spoken.

Hypocrisy is manifesto of this Apc Government

Anyways on another note all those guys wey dey land for airport just buy cutlass and rake make them cut airport grass both for the airport, airforce base and all the military base across the country

Relocate them from lybia to Daura

As they land at the airport, flog all of them. They want to enter Europe illegally and won't follow due process. Idiots. Nigerians, we don too big to de do illegal immigration to other countries. We are too big for that.

And to other Nigerians that wanna go abroad, get a fricking visa or stay here and struggle.

Most of those slaves are Nigerians. Shame on us.

History 101: Before Europeans and Americans engaged in slavery, the Arabs where trading in black Africans. They don't like black people. Go to the Middle East. Black Africans are maltreated.
You guys should learn.

It is not as if they got to Libya free of charge, they pay to go get enslaved or die at sea.

Sai Baba

Relocate them from libya to Daura

The same way he promised to bring back our girls
