I see you have made three consecutive posts without striking any cord, just rambling about. My quest to you is can the so called functions of NIDCOM be performed by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs? If yes, why is Nigeria creating a WASTE PIPE to drain our borrowed fund? Did you read that we spent N2.74Trillions as debt servicing costs?
Last month Nigeria stand in Japan economic expo was empty, where was NIDCOM?
There was a program in Toronto last month, something like Taste of Nigeria where our culture was in display, where was NIDCOM?
Nigeria does not need a commission for people in Diaspora. Does NIDCOM database of Nigerians abroad? Of what use is such a commission when Nigeria embassies are owing rent?

helinues:
They are now questioning the usefulness of NIDCOM

These people can never disappoint. Anything not in their favour can be swapped as they don't just like it

BolaAThubv:
NIDCOM is a cash cow established by the Tinumbu faction of APC during the Buhari regime solely for the purpose of employing and engaging Madam Abike Dabiri Erewa. It doesn't matter that she has no mandates, no terms of reference, no targets, no achievements... So long as she has an office linked to her name.

That organization should be disbanded and Madam Abike should go and look for something else to do. She is not adding value and she hasn't added any value from inception till date

Nigeria has ministry of external affairs. We have embassies and high commissions, we have military attaches in these missions. What is the usefulness of duplicating their functions by creating a useless commission for our citizens in the Diaspora? Does Ghana have GIDCOM or is there something like SAIDCOM? Why do we like to waste our resources in useless agencies?

A nation that survives on borrowing should eliminate useless agencies and commissions like NIDCOM. I have lived in North America for over 10 years, never has anyone asked what I do for a living. To get my passport renewed I have to pay external agencies to help process NIN, yet some lazy people are collecting estacides in the name of useless commissions that add zero value to Nigeria.
India and China have the highest population of immigrants world over. They do not waste resources in the name of Diaspora commission. Same applies to the Philippines, but in Nigeria we find ways to "settle " political cronies in the name of frivolous commissions.

Let 2027 come, most of these useless commissions, committees, agencies, bootlicking and politically motivated agencies would be scrapped and probed.

cosade:
Their home countries are not willing to accept them.

D00msDay:
Most countries of the deportees have refused to accept their citizens back.

amazonguru001:
Lol. I dont think so.
Na simple mathematics.

Those deportees are unwilling deportees.
These are people who are not willing to return to their home country for whatever reasons best known to know.
Of course amongst the reasons: shame of deportation, shame of returning with nothing to show for the number of years spent abroad. Apart from the good road, good infrastructure, good environment and background, good clothes and shoes they use in snapping pictures for social media show off, most of this guys have nothing to their names.
Most of them cant even afford a return ticket back to their base if they choose to come home voluntarily for holiday or occasion, hence they rather stay back to keep hustling for daily bread.

The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Doesn't matter if he he pulled the trigger or not. As thr officers who led the Soldiers that abducted Ironsi and Fajuyi, he bears responsibility for theur deaths

If I lead men to go and abduct another man, who winds up dead, it won't matter if someone else pulled the trigger. It won't matter if I was against the man being killed, I will face murder charges

Danjuma was got to where he is in life by being a successful coup plotter

kiddaz:
What are you now celebrating about this crook?

brain54:
Ok boss...

But these are for violent criminals and extreme deporties etc.


They are some others that get deported by ICE for no other reasons than because they have no paperwork and so are illegal entities or entered the US illegally.

I think that is what this one covers.... not for violent criminals!

brain54:
You are saying a different thing now boss...

Ofcourse the US government would beat the cost of sending them to Ghana, the housing and every other logistics involved.

The point I was making is Ghana wasn't receiving any form of payment/profit from receiving the deporties.

Exactly why they didn't want to spend their "personal" money to finance flight expenses for the Gambian.

With the Nigerians they felt the sum was negligible.

So I was right to say Ghana wasn't benefiting "directly" from the arrangement!

brain54:
Can you please post the link...?

brain54:
Asylum seekers are also different...

To buttress my point this is what AI said:

"The US has agreements with several countries to accept deportees, but the terms of these agreements vary. While I couldn't find explicit information on whether the US pays countries like El Salvador to accept deportees, it's clear that these agreements are often tied to other diplomatic and economic considerations.

For instance, Ghana's decision to accept deportees from the US was accompanied by trade and visa restrictions imposed by Washington, including raised tariffs on Ghanaian goods and limited visa validity for Ghanaian travelers to the US ¹.

In the case of El Salvador, the country has agreed to accept non-national criminals deported from the US, but the details of this agreement are not publicly disclosed ².

It's worth noting that these agreements are often part of broader diplomatic efforts and may involve various forms of cooperation and compensation. However, without more explicit information, it's difficult to say whether the US is directly paying countries like El Salvador to accept deportees"!

...


It was ojukwu and banjo that went to meet gowon for a coup. Those 2 guys were big bad boys. David Ejoor's book talked about it all.

brain54:
I would make more research on this...

But right now I doubt. Especially based on his comments. Because he specifically made it sound like they bore the cost from Ghana to Nigeria and he didn't want to spend Ghanian tax payers money on the expenses for the Ghabian.


But I am not arguing with you because I don't have the facts. But what I deducted from his comments!

brain54:
This is wrong information...

No one is paying anyone. Rather it seems the Ghanian government is the one bearing the cost from Ghana. Ghana isn't making any money.

I watched mahama say that out of the 14 sent to Ghana... majority of them were Nigerians and since the cost wasn't much they were put on a bus and sent to Nigeria.

He said they was a Gambian and since he couldn't go by road and required air flight they sent a message to the Gambian government and were awaiting their response. Meaning they didn't want to bear the expenses for the flight!

Racoon:
Tafa Balewa promoted Ironsi Major General on recommendation of the departing Major General Everady the out going GOC. Hatred no go kill you

hacmond:
Ok, but na still dat Ghana wan deport Nigerians in Ghana. Ghanaians are weirdo!!!

Racoon:
Such a fast rise in the army. Abeg how was promotions being done then? Based on what? This was the kind of army that gave rise to Buhari, Dimka, and many others.

This is the man that has a hand in the events of July 28-31 1966 but refused to talk about it. Taraba state has no peace from his co-collaborators.

The last picture seems to be around the Broad Street area of Lagos Island close to CMS bookshop.

givedemwotowoto:
Should the eastern regions also stop the drilling of oil and gas in their regions and distributing revenue nationwide? Don't be trying to make sense of nonsense. Constitution and state law should be your guide over sentiments.

gidgiddy:
Let's clap for the slave raiders, they remain a source of inspiration for the Nigerian politicians raiding the treasury

gidgiddy:
Thats because you people dont know what Kingdoms are. A true Kingdom has to be both cultural and political. Igbos only have cultural Kingship, not political. In other words, Igbo ki is are custodians of Igbo culture whereever Igbos are in the world

There is King of Fulani in Lagos, the 'Sarkin Fulani Lagos, but even in 200 years, you people will never have the guts to drag him. Let's hear word

If you people cant

doncartel:
On point. The best system of government is the Parliamentary Republic as practiced in Germany and Israel. And as practiced during Azikiwe.

gidgiddy:
Igbos are still repupublicans, that why royalty does not have the weight in Igbo land as it has with other tribes. That one thing some tribes dont understand with Igbos. While other tribes revered their kings, no such thing exists in Igbo land. Kings are seem as more of cultural leaders in Igbo land, as opposed to other tribes who see kings as both cultural and political leaders
