He travelled to libya to try and cross the sea becuase things were tough back home. God forgive me if i am wrong, but i had friends from high school who sent themselves to university by doing labourer at construction sites, and they are doing well now. I believe this libya rush is driven by greed, or people searching for shortcut to success which is not guaranteed in Europe anyway.

His friend sent him 250k to release him from libyan prison. His mum raised 400k for his operation after he got shot. Why cant they help him with these funds while he was still in Nigeria? The fund could have help hime set up a small business till he has the means of visiting EU legally.
you have not seen people that would do that and end up not getting jobs

He said many of them had refused to return due to shame and fear of meeting their mates at home who might have succeeded in their endeavours.

” It takes courage for you to return home. Nigeria is changing fast.

So true, because of shame some will choose to stay back and rather die than the ridicule and shame they might face from friends and families.

Talk of being between the inferno and flood

Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other south East Asian countries are being developed by ibos.

Edo men are slaves in Libya and the Mediterranean region while their women are enslaved for their sweet pussies. The lucky ones who cross the sea escape the slave masters to make lots of lira in Italy servicing the Giovannis and Francescos while the lucky Luckys, Osagies and the Endurances continue their cult wahala over their.

Ibos and Edo people bring lots of shame to Nigeria. Enough is enough. Those returnees should be isolated and tested for diseases before they are allowed to go home.

Jesus! Such a sad story angry sad

I just hope and pray that our people should learn to stay at home. The grass is always greener at the other side but, once you get there, you'd realize that there's no place like home. Take it from someone who knows, Europe is NOT as blissful as they make it sound.


O pari

Endurance Omeyo, one of the returnees from Libya brought back to the country on Tuesday has lamented that though he embarked on the journey with his two legs intact, unfortunately came back with one of his legs amputated.

Omeyo from Uromi in Edo State said he went to Libya in 2016,

He was among 245 more Nigerians who voluntarily returned from the volatile North African country on Tuesday.

He said:” I come from a very poor home. I lost my father about 12 years ago and only my mother was left to be facing the stress.

“That is why I went to Libya to cross the sea and go to Italy, but unfortunately, I couldn’t make it as we were arrested while on the sea.

“We were 160 people on that boat but 110 died and only 50 of us survived. They now took us back to prison in Libya. ”

According to him, he spent over a month in captivity before a friend from Italy sent him N250, 000 which he used to buy his freedom from his captors.

The 28-year-old said a few weeks after, he was shot while in company of two friends which led to the amputation of his leg.

“I spent months in the hospital, until my mother went to borrow N400, 000 which was used to perform three surgeries on me and that is why I am alive today, ” he said.

While receiving the returnees, Alhaji Mustapha Maihajja, Director General, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) commended Nigerians who voluntarily returned from Libya for their courage to face a fresh start in the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Maihajja who was represented by Southwest Zonal Coordinator of the agency, Alhaji Suleiman Yakubu, noted that some others were still stuck in Libya for lack of courage to face a new beginning in Nigeria.

He said many of them had refused to return due to shame and fear of meeting their mates at home who might have succeeded in their endeavours.

” It takes courage for you to return home. Nigeria is changing fast.

“The Federal government is making everything possible to ensure that every Nigerian will be proud of being a Nigerian.

” All the government is expecting from you is to have faith in God and your leaders and discharge your civic responsibilities,” he said.

The returnees arrived at the Cargo Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos aboard an Afriqiyah Airbus 330-300 aircraft with Registration Number 5A-ONR at about 8:25pm.

They were assisted back to Nigeria by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the European Union (EU) after expressing interest to leave Libya where they had been stranded enroute Europe.

They comprised 66 adult females, 74 adult males, four children and six infants.

The returnees were also received by officials of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) , the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).

Another batch of Nigerians was being expected from Libya, as their aircraft was said to be on the way from Tripoli.

Useless testimonies and lamentations for Sodom from LAZY idiots who want to live a big mans life without

shedding a sweat...the #400,000 your mother borrowed for operation was more than enough to set up

great business for a serious and focused son...but you have chosen a better destiny you wished for yourself

apart from other trade, we have vast forest and greenlands in 9ja for various farming which has now turned

thousands of Nigerians to millionaires!...but pple like you prefer to cross the ocean with foot to become rich

Hmmm.
Back then they wer attacking PMB for not repatriating Nigerians back... But now that almost 5batches of libyan returnees have all touched down.

No one can is remembering to give kudos to NEMA for the job of well done.
But if these folks were still stranded, thats how... Buhari is would have been beheaded on this nairaland. I know that for saying this, they will say that I am Aboki.. No longer afonja.

Dumbasses that just enjoy lying to themselves..



They were brought back by IOM and EU. NEMA only received them at the airport and tell lies of how government is making Nigeria better.

the first time i set my foot on foreign soil was in Manchester UK, after flying from heathrow to sheffield, i enter a train to manchester piccardilly stations, it was very cold, always raining, never enjoyed their food and in the first few days in manchester i hated the place, i was looking forward to coming back home, there was nothing i mean nothing extra ordinary, i prefer to stay in Nigeria my country than be in any foreign country as a legal immigrant talkless of illegal immigrant. i always wonder why people are risking their lives to go to libya of all places. if england didnt move me a bit, no any country in this world i will leave Nigeria for. there is no place like home.

My thoughts exactly
#650k isn't a bad start for a moderate ambition
what a forceful investment

It is good to make efforts but not recklessly.
Often, people give irrelevant excuses to justify their actions.
Yeah, we can blame our leaders for misrule but not for individual decisions.
Life is not all about making money at all cost.
Staying positive and simple help in situations like these.

Bros there's a time for pity party and this is not one of them and I hope you learn from his mistakes ...and in conclusion I owe no man nothing but fellowship. Since we are the architects of our own downfall we should also bear the consequences.

Next time quote sensibly, this is not the first time people have been coming back with such stories of horrors and it even goes back to the late 80s and early 90s when the economy went belly up.
