poster, you violated rule number 5 of Nairaland.

They left the shores of Nigeria in search of greener pastures with very high expectations but returned home empty handed. That was the story of 90 Nigerians who were repatriated from Tunisia. The deportees who arrived the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos on Tuesday, wore mournful looks as they re-lived the sad tales of their sojourn in the North African country. The repatriation was facilitated by the International Organisation for Migration, IOM, with the support of the Tunisian government.

One of the returnees who identified herself as Miss Success Smart, 15, said she left Nigeria about two years ago when her hope of becoming an apprentice hair dresser was dashed. The teenager explained that she embarked on the tedious journey to Tunisia through the Libyan route when her parents refused to sign an agreement with the salon operator where she had enrolled as an apprentice. ‘’I received favour from somebody who offered to take me to Tunisia. We were there until recently when things became very difficult for her and she had to return to Nigeria,’’ Success said

For Miss Blessing Ogbabolo, 17, the story is slightly different. She claimed that her father died when she was only three years. Her elder brother was the one who took her to Tunisia. Blessing said she had on several occasions pleaded with her brother to allow her return to Nigeria, but all these pleas fell on deaf ears. “I was fed up with the difficult conditions out there and when the opportunity of returning to Nigeria free of charge came, I jumped at the offer,” she said.

Asked about her brother, Blessing said she lost contact with him when she made up her mind to return home. A visibly frustrated Blessing noted that it would take only divine intervention for her to put the sad experiences behind her.’’I pray that God will help me to forge ahead after my frustrating experience overseas,’’ she submitted.

Another deportee who gave his names as Emmanuel Oduoba, vowed never to nurse the idea of travelling abroad again. He passionately appealed to Nigerian youths to avoid any temptation to travel out of Nigeria because all the sweet stories of hitting the jackpot are bags of lies. He urged Nigerian leaders to be most focused and to put in place measures that would uplift the living conditions of the citizenry.Although the returnees debunked stories of any crisis in Tunisia, they maintained that there is no place like home.

Vanguard Metro learnt that officials of the National Agency for Protection and Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, have taken over the case of the teenagers. They would be reoriented and later rehabilitated. The returnees were received and screened by different government agencies like the Nigerian Immigration Service, the Police, NAPTIP and other stakeholders, ostensibly to ascertain their nationalities.Transport allowances were later given to them to facilitate their journeys to their respective states.

A breakdown of the 90 returnees shows that two of them are infants, aged five and 14 months. A further breakdown shows that 12 are teenagers, 13 of them are young ladies while the remaining 61 are young men. Edo State has the highest number of 77 returnees, while Delta State had eight. The remaining six hail from Imo, Lagos, Kano and Plateau states. -

Most mental people are like normal people and don't walk on the street naked. I once dated a girl with bipolar mental sickness. when she first told me she was diagnosed bipolar by her doctor, I didn't know anything about bipolar mental illness. she told me she has attempted suicide 3 times when she was young. She was really weird when ever she experience her maniac episode. she dont respect her parents and grandparents and she is always rude to her family. She also makes bad decisions in life and skip her classes when she was in college and finally dropped out from school after spending only 2 semester in school, she also quite her part time job . She is a sweet girl when she is not experiencing her maniac episode. I really liked her when we were dating but I could no longer take her mental illness and constant lying, and cheating. I recently heard she is pregnant but she could not live with her baby's daddy because of her illness so she left him.

Every Suya-man na Hausa
Every shoemaker na Hausa
All Nigerians living abroad are rich

I hope they return safely to their Nigeria

nothing is going to happen. he has the constitutional right to contest like everybody else.

@op, Revolution can not happen because corruption and tribalism.. I am a native of Ugborikoko and I used to live in Ugborikoko close to Ochucks Academy secondary school. I really pray for peace because my family still lives there. I might also know you.

JudismphD: Peak of imbecility in full display. Why advertise your low sagacity and maggotic heritage here? well, books espouse by divine intelligence says "only a fool say God never exist"

why don't you prove to me that God exist

dont allow her to attend your wedding. tell her to move on with her life

screenagerjoe: This is my solution to the ASUU strike problem.... At least we can go back to school. 100L should conduct post ume, 200L should teach 100L, 300L should teach 200L, 300L should go for their I.T, those who are not on their I.T should be taught by 400L and the 400L students should write their project. I guess that by the time the lecturers are ready to lecture we would have gone far with our scope and stand a good chance of gettin A's. #just saying#

I cant believe an undergraduate will reason this way!!!. I will send your brilliant idea to the minister of Education.

which of the God? is it the christian, Muslim or the God in my village? does God really exist?

HELL NO. I tried keeping in touch with my crazy EX and it ended up a disaster.

expressdr84: I wish my great grand father was taken as a slave .by now I for be Yankee citizen and not in this predicament.lol

You should be grateful to God that you are a Nigerian. The African American culture is messed up. Do you think being a black yankee citizen is a ticket to living a successful life..

@ poster, Most Yorubas, Igbo and Niger deltans will vote for GEJ again..Nigerians are tired of Atiku, Buhari and Tinubu..

nigerianphoenix: Hey guys!
What documents will be checked at the immigration and customs checkpoints?

Your passport, i20 form, and your school admission documents.

flynbird: Got to the US. Had to spend the night at a Greyhound station cos there was no bus leaving for the night. Why are there so many retards in New York? Different people kept walking up to me asking for a dollar!

lol.. welcome to New York. They are called Crack Heads or Bums. The problem of homeless bums is worse in California and NY. unlike in lagos where beggers use their money on food, Most of the Pan Handlers in the States use the money they get on drugs so I don't give them any money..

Amefrica: Foohard, Congrats!!! I must get my OWN VISA too this year.. And get to US this year

Amen

D sage: Hello Billyonaire, were you at PDP special convention yesternight? Was it true that some key members really walked out or did not even attends?

I saw it on TV, key members were actually absent. Don't you think PDP is gradually coming to an end/inferior party?

This is not the first time key members of PDP are leaving the party.. It happened in 2003, 2007 and 2011 yet PDP won . so I wont be surprise if it happen in 2015.. PDP is still the party to beat

Eledan: PDP is finished.....honestly without the power of incumbency ..I can't see how this party can win 25% in national elections.

All these officials are "yes men and women"

BTW,,,,which PDP faction is this?

PDP is not finish. I still think PDP will win 2015 because of incumbency..Besides I don't really trust Atiku PDP faction. Don't be surprise when Atiku and his men run back to PDP to contest for the general elections

D sage: You're right, with the current crisis and the emergence of APC,I don't see GEJ re-elect as a president. Prof. Jega will be a key factor in 2015 general election.

you are wrong..PDP is still the party to beat..An incumbent president can NEVER lose an election in Nigeria..Gej don't need those renegade PDP governors to win..All. he needs is the police, Army and corrupt INEC officials to win.. The only way we can remove PDP is through a revolution and not through a ballot vote..

lol...

The Jesus I know is completely different from that senseless potrait..

Step84: Its B2 multiple entry 2yrs. I want to travel after service (nysc) by Oct and I need advice on how to go about settling in the US. House pls help me out!

If you dont have a close friend or family member that is financially strong in the US then its better you remain in Nigeria till you get the right papers because no employer will employ you legally with a B2 visa. But if you are hell bent on coming to the states, then you should move to a city with a high Nigerian population so you can easily network with fellow Nigerians and they can help you with under the table jobs. but you should know that living as an illegal is like living in hell because you cant get an ID card, open a bank account, rent an apartment, traveling back to Nigeria and starting a business here.

meanwhile in Africa

fake..the neck looks too long for the body

off course, America is Gods own country..They are the most powerful and bless nation in this world..

Mr knowitall.:
Well lets leave out the citizenship part.....even if all they are offering is 10 years in an American jail then

deportation back to Nigeria....i would definitely advice the average Nigerian to take the offer like a bail out of hell.

Because it is an improvement and an escape from the dreadful situation in Nigeria. Because in an American jail you get 3

squares a day...bed to lay your head on...A/C..medical checkup...dental checkup..This is an honest advice for the

average omo Nigeria.

would you advice your own brother to spend 10 years in jail so he can become an American.

I just don't know why an Average Nigerian see America like heaven.. Only a fool would be willing to spend 2 years in jail just to get the blue passport.. Once you are a felon in America, the only Job you can get is a minimum wage job like flipping burger in Mikky D.

Free greencard to America with all expenses paid by the US government..he will probably spend the rest of his life in America.

tpia@:
I seriously have no idea why nigerians always consider things like this a problem.

Must everybody date or marry you?

I ain't talking about Nigerians but black people in general..An average Asian man will not allow his children date or marry a black person because they stereotype black people..
