World Cup Mess: Stranded Nigerians In Russia Duped By Sleep Outside Embassy by ogunwale321: 9:35am On Jul 16, 2018 |
As Russia 2018 winds to a close on Sunday, about 200 Nigerians may not have good stories to share, at least for now. Having gone to Europe to cheer their country and lucrative find jobs, including playing pro football, their lives have taken a downside. With no money and no visa, they do not have anything to cheer on both fronts. Tricked by scammers, Fans ID, a travel document issued by the government to those travelling to for World Cup, is their only hope of returning home. "I paid a lot of money down here," one Nigerian told DW's Miodrag Soric. "But I don't want to stay. I don't have a plan because I know my Fan ID card cannot allow me to stay more than July 25. And I don't want to go against the Russian." Two brothers Ismail and Sodiq Olamilekan said they N250,000 naira each to a man in Lagos for their Fan IDs. They planned to become professional footballers in Russia. Others paid over a million naira for the document. "The man told us that with the Fan ID we could get a job and stay here," Ismail told AFP at a hostel on the outskirts of Moscow, where a kind Muslim man provided shelter.
