Israel offers money and flights out to all illegal non-jewish immigrants or holds them indefinitely in desert detention centres; especially those coming from from Africa. The reason why Israel has so many illegals staying put is because it is a signatory to the UNHCR and most of these illegals know to claim asylum upon entry into Israel. So they are detained at numerous detention centres like Saharonim prison or Holot detention centre. Saudi Arabia is not a signatory to the UNHCR. It does not accept asylum seekers or refugees under such status.

By Aljazeera on Israeli immigration, did you mean this?

The US deported over 180k people in 2020. It has one of the worst deportation records of all countries. It is also surprising that you would mention the USA as an example of a country 'good' to immigrants.

Anyhow, you can hate Saudi Arabia all you want, I have no interest. Just don't distort facts. At least cite true reasons for why you hate them. I'm sure you can find plenty.
Those deported from those countries you mentioned...on what basis? Read about it. Some African Countries were potentially terrorist nations, same with some countries in Asia. I can't afford to keep such people too in my country if I were a president of that nation. Once you're in America, you can't be deported just like that if you don't commit crime. In my years of staying, I've never seen or heard of people being deported on the basis of not having papers after successful passage at the POE.
AgricultureRe: Ogun State Partners With Fan Milk To Establish Odeda Farm Institute by Eriokanmi: 6:49pm On Feb 03, 2021
Good move. This is one of the reasons I love south western leaders. They set the pace always. While someone somewhere was thinking of RUGA, a sane leader is thinking of an advanced way of husbandry by going into partnership with private sectors. In Holland today, they don't have oil. This is one of their economic earnings . They export milk to every continent of the world. Until we have a good leader who's not a relic of a lost age, this country shouldn't expect the real change. 2023 is near. Chase both the PDP and APC away. They're not the solution to our problems.

Personally, I don't think it's a good one.
We have lots of crazy things happening without having guns in our hands
Nigerians need it. if you misuse it, you get jailed. Its that simple. Why do you think crime rate is so low in America today? Before you attack or enter somebody's House, you'd think twice because nearly everyone has a right to gun licence. Some even walk about with their gun hidden inside pouches. The level of insecurity is worrisome. What we need is federal government sensitising the populace on how to use the gun after legalising it. They should tell people what would happen , should they abuse it.

Deportation is not mistreatment. They are sending them back home. Those who live in other countries illegally and are still there have just not been caught yet. And no country is obliged to treat the Covid-19 patients from other countries who have illegally entered into their lands, especially when Covid-19 is not going anywhere anytime soon.
who told you people living illegally in other countries haven't just been caught? Please stop defending these useless people. Watch aljazeera always about illegal residents in Israel, then you'd confirm what am saying. There are millions of illegal residents in America today. Instead of deporting them, Biden is planning to integrate them by offering them a green card. When you claim to be playing a leadership role as a country, you should walk the talk. Saudi is biased. There are several people from different countries in Russia, Turkey , etc who are there illegally. Do you think their governments don't know? This isn't their first time of doing this. I blame people who go there to find succour. Hear most of them speak...some have been there working before covid

Welcome back. We need Nigerians back home.



If you try to stay illegally anywhere, you will be treated this way. Israel is not an exception. The best way to relocate is to get the proper documentation required for your status. Nobody will disturb you then.
People stay illegally everywhere. You don't have to mistreat them this way, in line with the UN treaty. Did than number leave for Saudi yesterday or last month? The answer is no. Many of them have all been there working, mostly as maids. Why not document them if their stay is illegal and keep them somewhere in a camp until things normalise? Where is their spirit of brotherhood?. These people share the same faith with them. Haven't you heard of thousands of Africans who crossed the dreaded Sea to Europe? There are people living illegally in Israel that I know yet, they don't think its best time to send them home, considering the covid-19 pandemic. Watch aljazeera always and you'd confirm this. There is over 10m illegal residents in America yet , they're not deporting them. Saudi is such a useless country.

Utomi was part of the founding father of APC, he is still a member, he supported Buhari ascension to the presidency.

Intellectual such as Utomi and Sanusi are part of the problem , they are well educated and very eloquence in communication but they their motive has never been in the interest of Nigeria.

Only the threat of separation of country, will force the regional stakeholders to agree on an appropriate working model for the country.
yea. My question is...what role did apc give utomi? Nothing. These people are jokers. That guy called moghalu ought to have been engaged as one of the economic team members but the apc is partisan in everything, they'd not engage people like him like obj did because they don't want the real change to happen. Naija don rotten finish .we need virile people to take the Mantle of leadership if we truly must be together as one. Things don bad gaaan.

It is southerners that sells alcohol in the north and these good for nothing northerners are busy destroying people’s livelihoods. When a cow is killed in the south they will start foaming from the mouth. This is just one example of the imbalance in the Zoo. They keep telling you they want unity, one Nigeria and such other empty slogans yet they are busy showing you who owns the country. Foolish politicians in the south can’t say a word.
This country is never one and the earlier our generation does the needful, the better. We practice the american constitution but in a wrong way. Why not allow every tribe go their separate ways as the 1914 treaty had expired ? Amazingly, there are lots of northern Muslims who consume beer like pure water. After womanising, beer is the second thing they indulge in. There's more decorum down south. North is worse off but they always hide this. The recent buzzare news coming from there were a proof .

The situation in Nigeria is beyond politics, Nigeria is on the brink of dissolution. The key stakeholders and elite must review the constitution before it's too late.
I concur but I don't see that happen with the rubber stamp national assembly we have today. Remember constitutional review was one of their manifestos on 2015? They came and deceived us all. No thanks to tinubu who rebranded a pig with his media vultures and called it a zebra to us and we accepted it hook, line and sinker. We need technocrats who would form the basis for the constitutional review. I don't expect such to happen under the buhari-led administration or a group of political jobbers we have in place, most of whom do not even deserve to be a local councilor in a sane society .

We need the right people holding right positions . When you speak economically, he wouldn't have to shift that area to someone else who understands or interprets the language of economy. Whatever is presented before buhari is what he would sign, he lacks any economic knowledge. With the way he's handling security, we are beginning to affirm what many had said that, it was late Idiagbon who ruled in his government in the 80s and not buhari, that buhari was just a figure-head head of state back then. It would be difficult for him to sight any incidence of fraud in and document as presented by his economic team who must have worked in connivance with the national assembly. Did huhari even know that the budget was padded by over 150b naira? I doubt.

Moreover, you don't expect same buhari to negate any of the clauses in the constitution which was written and handed over to Nigerians by the military where he also belongs.

Thank God he heeded pastor adeboye's call when baba saw it ahead. President Jonathan will remain grateful to God too for heeding pastor adeboye's advice and warning ahead of the Nigerian airforce copter crash which took place the Niger delta which took the life of eminent Nigerians. Pastor adeboye told him not to attend the burial which was to take place in the South south back then, that he should report to camp and join them in the holy ghost service that Friday night .

Instead of attending the burial, Jonathan now nominated some people to represent him instead. Some strong headed leaders would have ignored the warning and later faced their untimely death. Jonathan was the target in that crash. Those who witnessed it said there was explosion in the air and the rubbles littered everywhere. Obedience is better than sacrifice....

Mr. man I lived in USA for five years on F1 status and later STEM OPT. I left USA after the first year of my stem OPT while working at delloite technology practice. I went to grad school at the ancient edinburgh uni then left to nigeria after two years to work in tech. Work and education took me to many countries in different continents. I'm not sure you are in a position to tell me what is good/better for me and many other Nigerians. It all depends on the perspective we see things from. Nairaland is not a platform for lowlives its a platform for all and I have learnt so much from contributors here over the years. You come here and call me an idiot and all sort of names because I don't hate Nigeria like you do. If you hate Nigeria don't pour out your frustration on others as I'm not the cause of the disappointments you've had with the country. Amidst the challenges of Nigeria I've found great opportunities within which I've explored positively with no regret . If that makes me a candidate of all the unprintable names you've called me so be it.
In addition I know the history of Nigeria right from the berlin conference of africa till date. Thank you.
Thanks for giving it back to him hawt-hawt. You've just exhibited the highest level of maturity in your response. Kudos!. They often think once you get into US or other western countries, the best thing is stay put and start a life. Many would even vow never to return home again. A few of us who did are forever fateful to God for the courage. As they're planning to to run away, many whites are looking for opportunities here. It's just because they're seeing what Nigerians can't see. I just finished a zoom meeting on a multi million dollar project here in Nigeria, to commence soon. Not even the American president would have offered me half of that, had I chosen to stay back and worked in the white house

Naija dey travel, abeeeg! See long haul trip, wow!

RIP to him. Who knows if he contracted the dreaded virus while in transit within the airport sef, due to the incubation period of the virus, he might not have shown and symptom until days later and to embark on such a long haul to Toronto, it takes a minimum of 2 days. Each time I travel to LA, I always prefer prefer Emirates. From lagos to dubai is almost 6 hours on their regular smaller airbus. Transit time could be 6 hours or more, depending on flight schedule from dubai to LA in their A380 flight. From dubai to LA is 19 good hours, nonstop. To get to Michigan from Lagos, and then from Detroit to Toronto, we're talking of 2 days including transit time for the naija guy.

To all the ignorant Nigerians who always behave like trump's almanjiris, covid-19 is real. Don't play with your life. There's no rethink after death. Say safe people.

They were on deathrow for over 3 decades for an offence they knew nothing about, before DNA evidence exonerated them. By the time they were released, they became useless and unproductive. Their productive years had been wasted in jail. There are many more of their likes in American Jails today.

You are a shallow thinker. The majority of Nigerians are on forbes list of millionaires yet, only a few blacks in America are there. Most of them made their money without being in politics. Had the likes of okonjo iweala, my uncle , myself and a host of hundreds of thousands others of African decent whose generations never tasted slavery been enslaved in that era, they'd not have been anywhere to be found today. You just disappointed God for creating you here, with your dirty comment. Why not ask God to open your inner eyes to see and know the reason for your existence?. How many black slaves survived the era? Many died in the ocean while many others were tortured to death. Even with their so called west life , they still beg me for money each time I visit US...blacks everywhere begging for money legitimately. Who knows you'd have been one of them living under the bridge of Los Angeles in the Inglewood, west century area today. Even a lot of them still came back to Nigeria after the end of slave trade. The likes of Da Roca who was the wealthiest Nigerian at that time...go and read about him. They still retained the names given to them by their slave masters even on arrival in lagos. I remember Da Silva family too.

the best thing to happen to Nigeria was the transition to democracy. The North had been milking this country since independence using their military powers. You see an ordinary major threatening and shortchanging senior officers from the south, even play nepotism when it comes to promotion. During same period, the majority of the south were massively engaged in education. When the era of military rule ended in Nigeria, democracy exposed their weakness in the north and in effect, took to terrorism, all over the Northern States. Atrocities they used to Perpetrate and nobody dared say pim, during military era are now being exposed even before they go far under democracy. Imagine a recruit threaten his boss with a gun for withholding his benefits under buratai as COAS and a large number of soldiers were resigning? If it were to be under military, they'd have been silenced secretly .

The north would pay for their sins of nepotism of the past for nearly a century to come. Buhari sef no dey remember say nemesis dey. At times he would be behaving as if he was still wearing khaki.
