The United Nations on Monday criticised Nigeria for failing to tackle human trafficking, after a human rights mission looked at efforts to stamp out the organised trade in people.
“What is being done is not enough,” the world body’s special rapporteur on the subject, Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, told reporters at the end of an eight-day visit.
Some 18,000 Nigerians arrived in Italy via the Mediterranean Sea from north Africa in 2017, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The number of arrivals in Europe fell sharply in the first six months of this year but Giammarinaro said there was “no indication of a decrease in the trafficking trend”.
“Some are already recruited by their traffickers in the country of origin, others may start their migration journey voluntarily,” she told a news conference in Abuja.
“Due also to the absence of safe and regular migration channels, the vast majority of them fall prey to traffickers in transit countries, especially in Libya, and (are) subject to all forms of human rights violations including torture, rape, extortion, and exploitation amounting to trafficking, slavery and forced labour.”
According to the latest IOM figures, some 36,000 Nigerians were stuck in Libya or neighbouring Niger in December last year.
Nigeria’s own immigration service has estimated that about 10,000 nationals died in the Sahara desert or in the Mediterranean Sea between January and May last year.
Giammarinaro noted that human trafficking in Nigeria was not always north towards Europe but also to the Gulf, Russia and southern Africa “mainly for the purposes of sexual and labour exploitation”.
The West African nation is equally an immigration destination for neighbouring countries.
Nigeria has its own anti-trafficking agency but Giammarinaro said there was an overall “lack of resources, training and equipment for the various public offices involved in the fight against trafficking”.
“Nigeria is… Africa’s largest oil producer and ranks sixth in the world, with 2.5 million barrels of oil produced every day.
“Yet… 64 percent of Nigerians live below the poverty line and trafficking in persons continues unabated.
“With the wealth and political leverage it has been generating, the government of Nigeria cannot be seen to leave its people behind.”
Giammarinaro recommended that more work needed to be done to prevent people leaving in the first place and also to bring those responsible to justice.
A total of 362 traffickers have been convicted and sentenced since 2004 yet the number of victims and complaints received has skyrocketed to 13,186.
“But there is no estimate about the real dimension of trafficking in this country,” she added.

Covenant is a good school with great academic promise but the owners should endeavour to restructure it for better.

If all stories of cu Bleep ups are compiled into movies by nollywood it will take nollywood above Hollywood.

valenu:
Why do u want to know? Just know it's a sex related convo

That's not enough to conclude anything. Did the expelled guy implicate himself or just a mention of his name in a sex related conversation?

Those guys at covenant can be very funny.

But what is this conversation that lead to expulsion ?

I know covenant can jump to funny conclusion a lot.

Booked!

The bottom line is that education helps you avoid reinventing the wheels. Professors and academicians have brainstormed and refined a good amount of knowledge and education entails you building on this knowledge to go farther.

I hope the Nigerian husslers are getting the message.

Philip Emeagweali ? This guy invented the internet over the internet.

Can this sh.it be done with that other religion where it is a righteous thing to lie for the sake of the religion?

Happy new year! But what year are they celebrating? 1800?

famosh:
I think, your eye don clear after you were given a dose of your medicine, ba?
Or are you still looking for evidence to back up your disgraceful & blatant lie that PDP ruled for over 12 years with crude oil price as low as it is now?

That's what you get when you choose pettiness & mischief instead of arguing intellectually & maturely! You think I didn't see your bogus claim (or slight exaggeration, more appropriately) initially? Did it, in any way, diminish the point you were trying to make in that sentence when your claim was actually a close depiction of what really happened? But did that make me result to pettiness & mischief instead of tackling the point you were trying to make which is the intelligent & normal thing to do?

Cheers, boy!

What dose of medicine? I don't reply people who can't back up their claims in the first place. Back up yours.

That's so true OP.
It is like the man is more concerned about using anti-corruption fight to silence opposition elements than using it to position the country for growth.

When we talk about corruption it goes beyond opposition politicians. The education, power, health, transport sectors for example have a lot of leakages that if blocked can bring out their potential.

Very few son of the soil there.

APC and dictatorial tendencies.

Good move.

The Kano State Government has declared Tuesday Sept. 11 as public holiday to mark the new Islamic year 1440 After Hijra (AH).
This was contained in a statement signed by the state commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba on Monday in Kano.
The statement quoted Governor Abdullahi Ganduje as congratulating Muslims faithful for witnessing the New Year, which commences in the month of Muharram, the first month in the lunar Islamic calendar.
It also urged Muslims to reflect on their deeds and activities during the past year and also to use the occasion to offer prayers for peace and prosperity of the country.
The statement reassured the people of the state government’s determination to work hard towards improving their living standards.
It also called on Nigerians to join hands with the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to build a peaceful and harmonious country.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tuesday would be the first day of Muharram.

Thank God it wasn't BH related.

This thread may be doctored but it reflects the mood of Osun people. The suffering is much. deomelo pls come and spam us some more pictures.

OK.

bribery scheme.

uncle lalasticlala fg spends over 13bn on these schools yearly.

Call for atheism is like call for book haram ideologies to be included in school syllabus.

A call for believe in nothing will include a call for the theory that spirits don't exist because religion and God is all about the realities of the spirit part of man.

Small boy! Go & play with your mates!

Big boy with big lies back up you claims. No personal insults needed here. Just facts.

famosh:

You don dey argue like small/immature boy!
Can't you see it was over $108/barrel months (not up to a year) before the end of Ebelemi's tenure? Abi you dey wait for the exact $110? Na the $2 difference na him nullify my argument & support your own so, ba? Na the $2 difference wan make you cry so? Is that the point of the argument? Nawa o!

110 USD or get lost.

famosh:
The guy no believe! You think we don't remember Ebelemi's disastrous reign? Never again will that demonic & satanic party rule Nigeria again!
In June (less than a year before Ebelemi handed over) oil was over $108/barrel! In fact, oil was over $105 from August 2013 to August 2014, except for about two months when oil went slightly down to about $103/barrel! I'm sure you know oil still went way higher than these values before the August 2013!

Show us 110usd few month to may 2015 or get lost.

famosh:
What are you saying? Oil, a few months to Buhari's resumption was over $110/barrel! Few months after, it went as low as $29/barrel until late 2017 when it went back to over $60/barrel! Is that the situation the then PDP had to deal with?
And you're seriously comparing that 15 years to now? So the inflation, & most importantly, population 15 years ago na the same thing till now? Nawa o! Nothing wey person no go hear for Nairaland!

So naso e easy to recover loot begin dey use am, ba?

Please include evidence of this high ( $110pb) a few months to may 2015 in ur next reply. To the best of my knowledge it hit that price years before buhari was sworn in. No beat around the bush, just evidence please.

GavelSlam:
This bigot forgets all geopolitical zones benefit from this programme.

You prefer when the likes of Oritsejafor were using state funds to buy private jets. But we betide your indigent kinsmen for getting state sponsored feeding for their kids.

Only plonkers think like you.

Did I say think?

You prefer using state fund to feed the whole sahara region for the sake of votes abi. Keep speculating outta desperation there . . .

GavelSlam:
My question to you is personal.

Why are you a poor man?

when you cant attack the message constructively you desperately attack the messenger in a bid to muddle things up. What makes you think i am a poor man If I may ask?

famosh:
The children were well fed? You no dey shame? Funny guys!
Is it the children of civil servants who were owed months & months of salaries that were well fed? Or is it Boko Haram feeding our Chibok girls in Sambisa that you're attributing to your party providing an enabling environment for children to feed? Or is it the young boys & girls who were scammed of their hard earned N1000 & even brutally killed in the process under the guise of providing immigration jobs for them?

Álmajiri School feed their mind but they didnt like the idea of a Christian man building their schools for them.

famosh:
Now do you want me to furnish you with the "before" & "after" economic statistics of Ebelemi's government who you claim improved everything since you wan dey compare without putting things in proper perspective? From merciless GDP growth plunging, to job loss, to inflation, to mindless crashing of our foreign reserves, to colossal plunging of our foreign direct investment, to fuel price, to inability to pay salaries to exchange rate etc? Do you really want me to drop the figures? How come the "greatest economist in the world" in Okonjo-Iweala watched as all these things crumbled despite the oil boom?
Were her "sound economic policies" dead then?

Is it now Buhari you want to do magic (which he's even doing considering the issues he has to deal with) with oil prices going as low as $29/barrel within 6 months of his resumption, plunged foreign reserves & looted savings which could have buffered the situation? If you know these economic policies, tell us o!

Didnt Buhari read the oil price forecast when he was campaigning? You need to stop brandishing this weak line of yours. Didnt PDP rule for over 12 years with oil prices lower than it was today? Didnt most APC men today join in scamming us with bogus oil subsidy figure when prices were high? why hasnt their anti corruption fight recovered the loot? Use what God gave you sir.

This ninny must think I'm in government.

Nigeria has a myriad of problems and one of the maby includes the inability of parents to provide meals for school-going kids.

If identification of Nigerians is your greatest worry about the country, open a thread about it or set up an NGO. I'm sure you'll even get funding.

You and I know your greatest problem is actually hatred and you have more years to bear.

May be your dull skull hasn't realized government is not a wealth redistribution conduit to some religiously brainwashed poor potential voters but owes everybody social amenities in return. Same government charging excess JAMB fee and maintaining it against public outcry from admission seekers in most admission seeking regions is trying to maintain a loose social welfare scheme and some goats are here supporting clear evil.
They even tag some of the scheme cash transfer to remind evil souls like you what the scheme is meant to perpetrate and you are cool with all those.

Rossikki:
It is all about ''support'', politics, and ethnicity for you.

Whether hungry children eat or not is irrelevant to you.

Animal in human skin.

to you its all about party, personal interest over national interest and greed. Keep supporting your loose fulani killers massacring everything in sight including the national purse. In fact let the free feeding be extended to Mali and Ethiopia.
