Nigeria’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Muhammadu Modibbo has urged the federal government to ban unemployed Nigerians from traveling to the country in search of jobs, to save Nigeria’s image.

Modibbo made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Makkah, Saudi Arabia saying ”I have sent a letter through the Foreign Affairs Ministry for government to ban such people from coming here (Saudi) because they are suffering. I am also appealing to Nigerians to try as much as possible to get something doing in Nigeria instead of coming here because it is not easy. Thousands of people from various countries have left here”.

He said that the embassy was also concerned about the increasing cases of women working as maids that are being abused, and some unscrupulous Nigerians involved in drug trafficking.

According to him, the embassy has been intervening in cases of drug pushing by some Nigerians, adding “there are many Nigerians on death row for the offence. There are many cases before I assumed office eight months ago; I always intervene but there is not much I can do even though we have some little successes. Many of them have been here for many years working and will not return home but if they are arrested, they are deported instantly.”

He blamed some agents for the woes of many Nigerians working in Saudi companies and other organisations. “The agents manage to get passports and Visa for their clients and when they have problems, they come to the embassy daily. Some countries have banned their citizens from coming to work here because of problems being faced in Saudi Arabia. So why are Nigerians coming to face these hardships.”

Who is a jobless fellow? This is an ambiguous call.

Useless leaders making stupid decisions. What’s wrong with creating jobs

For Hajj or for pleasure?

First born like us naresponsibilitydeyrushus

Instead of providing jobs at home!

Ok

Drugs talking

Shartap...

Pathetic government

Look at the very stupid ambassador. Nigger Area people like I said, love to sweep things under the rug and pretend that all is well. He is in Saudi Arabia where there are jobs and good roads and he is enjoying.

Nonsense

Bastardized nation!

.

Nobody deserves to leave this country to go and stone the devi!
It's just pure evil for any government of the people to sponsor individuals to worship their "god"
The contradictions in Nigeria is too much

Nonsense talk! When FG bans them now, the same people would come back here and cry how the country is sliding into anarchy. They would remember all the human rights and freedoms enshrined in the constitution.

Confused people always blaming government.

You must be living far away from civilisation because you obviously don't know what you saying.


If you need to read the post please do and stop being....... like Ajimobi

OK

Which kind advice be that? D ambassador is risking his job big time.
Do northerners pay to go for hajj? No. The simple thing, state governor will say the state govt will sponsor 500 persons to the pilgrimage. He will reserve 300 slots, and divide the rest for the 27 or so local govts. And the politicking will begin until they gather the whole 500. No single vetting. Pay them BTA and return ticket. And go there and dump them. And later bring back those that survived and remained in camp.

8ut God why have you decided to purnish us like this? Pls have mercy Nigerians are suffering,

Thunder
