The Federal Government has repatriated no fewer than 150 stranded Nigerians from Niamey, Niger Republic.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, stated this while receiving the returnees at the Aminu Kano International Airport on Monday evening.

She said the exercise was conducted in collaboration with the International Organisation for Migration and the Economic Community of West African States.

According to her, the returnees were brought back to Kano, under the care of the IOM and ECOWAS from Niger Republic.

Represented by the Director of Humanitarian Services of the Ministry, Alhaji Grema Ali, the minister explained that the programme was meant for the distressed Nigerians, who had left the country to seek greener pastures in various European countries, and could not afford to return when their journey became frustrated.


Recounting their ordeals, one of those repatriated, Amina Aliyu from Kano State said she traveled to Niger with her three kids and sister Zara’u Aliyu, to seek for greener pastures.

She said, “We intended to travel to Algeria but on our way, the driver dropped us in the Niger Republic. We really suffered without food and water. My husband ran away and left me with my kids for the past three years and my parents are old and poor so I had no option than to travel to seek greener pastures.”

Another returnee, Aminu Suleiman, from Yobe State said he traveled to Libya to seek greener pastures.

“I was a tailor before I left Yobe, I wanted to travel to Europe from Libya to seek greener pastures because I wanted to open a fashion academy in Nigeria,” he said.

The returnees were received by the National Emergency Management Agency, the State Emergency Management Agency, in collaboration with other sister security agencies.

Those 150 stranded people aren't Nigerians they are Niger people and they're 150,000 who the government is preparing to smuggle into the country to vote for their preferred candidate.

This I have seen.

APC cannot be trusted with power

Stylishly bringing in foreigners to come and vote in the election.

Lol dem dey stranded or dem come for election Niger wey person fit use leg waka enta Nigeria....



Is it Possible for a Nigerian to be Stranded in Benin Republic or even Ghana wey we no share border with and it will be so bad he will be needing the intervention of the FG....

Modernised rigging...but they have failed already

It is that bad that people consider Niger to be better and someone will say we are gaints of Africa. Abeg we are the mice of Africa because young people still do not have sense

With our money

This is exactly how Kano gets 10 million voters .’Dem never complete.

They have imported election mechinery and Fulani jihadists

Our border should be blocked.

Una eye go clear

I am suspicious of this. Are these people Nigerians or Nigeriens being brought in to vote to a particular candidate? We have porous identity system and porous border.

Hmmmmm

More like bringing more terrorists to vote for APC.

Thought Niger is our sister and brother sharing boarder with us? we have done alot for them. why come home?
