PoliticsRe: 200 Nigerians, Other Africans Drown Off Libyan Coast by blacksta(op): 5:00pm On Apr 01, 2009
I guess we can come to this conclusion going from the notion that for every 4 black persons 1 is Nigerian.


How can we stop this madness
Politics200 Nigerians, Other Africans Drown Off Libyan Coast by blacksta(op): 4:58pm On Apr 01, 2009
Some 200 Nigerians are believed to be among over 500 African migrants who perished off the coast of Libya after their boasts overturned in rough waters. The International Organisation for Migrants (IOM) confirmed that Egyptians, Palestinians, and Ghanaians are among.

Libyan officials, however, said only a few bodies have washed ashore after at least one and possibly three boats capsized in very high winds.

"Libyan authorities have confirmed the shipwrecks and our diplomatic sources in Tripoli are talking about 500 people missing," said IOM Spokesman Jean-Philippe Chauzy.

"It seems the three boats were overloaded and sank in storm-strength winds."

Libya is a choice destination for Nigerians seeking greener pastures because of the country's oil wealth and despite the harsh treatment by Libyan authorities.

The IMO said Italy will begin joint sea patrols in May with Libya, to deter migrants from using Libya as a gateway to Europe.

IOM figures showed that at least 33,000 people crossed from North Africa to the Italian island of Lampedusa last year alone.

One vessel carrying more than 250 people reportedly ran into difficulty after setting off from Sidi Bilal, near Libya's capital, Tripoli.

Egypt's Foreign Ministry said the boat had sunk some 30 kilometres (19 miles) off the Libyan coast after getting holed in the hull.

"Libyan search and rescue operations led to the recovery of the bodies of those who drowned as a result of the accident, among them the bodies of 10 Egyptians," said official Ahmed Rizk.

Laurence Hart, of the IOM in Tripoli, expressed fear that as many as 500 migrants may have died.

"There is still a slim chance that some of these people are going to be rescued, but the casualties are going to be high of course," he warned.

Hundreds of migrants have died in the last few months crossing the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa to Europe, and the Gulf of Aden from Somalia to Yemen.

They are usually at the mercy of unscrupulous smugglers, unseaworthy vessels, and the elements; but many take these risks for the lure of a better life.

The smuggling season normally stops in October, and resumes in April.

But the IOM said there has been no lull this year and the smuggling boats have been sailing right through the winter.

If you are true child of God then you need not to worry but if your heart condemns you, you have a problem.

Pro 10:2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
Pro 10:3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
Christianity EtcRe: Releasing Gods Power Through Fasting And Prayer by blacksta(op): 8:03am On Apr 01, 2009
Mat 17:14  And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Mat 17:15  Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
Mat 17:16  And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Mat 17:17  Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
Mat 17:18  And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Mat 17:19  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Mat 17:20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Mat 17:21  Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.


Please pay attention words that are shaded.  I strongly believe as a christian you must be ready to pay a price in the area of spiritual growth
