This is so true.

Nigerians in diaspora are fuelling crisis in Nigeria

absolutely right

Indeed a very educative write up God bless Nigeria.
mynd44 this deserve front page

It is as if once our intellectuals find their feet in other shores, they develop a contemptuous mindset towards their country and anything happening in the country is viewed from negative prisms. People in the diaspora become perpetual critics whose thirst for castigating Nigerian leaders and their policies is hardly satisfied. This posture had made many patriotic citizens to conclude that most of these Nigerians living in foreign countries are driven by regime hate hence are not capable of critically and objectively dissecting the situation they choose to interrogate not to talk of proffering positive solutions. Rather than come up with ideas for the political and socioeconomic upliftment of their people, Nigerians in the diaspora have constituted themselves into a nation of cynics and pessimists trying hard to drag the Nigerian state down. It is typical of comments from there to reduce every economic breakthrough to happenstance, every good policy to a mere mistake while challenges are elevated as the norm. While the nationals of other countries seek ways to better their country through researches and pooling of funds from their host countries, the Nigerian Diaspora community is more interested in seeing itself as an opposition party. In the 70s, it was a group of Malaysians in the diaspora who stumbled on the Nigerian palm fruits and through researches were able to extract pure vegetable oil from the fruit which they now export to other countries. But decades after we have sent our sons and daughters to the most technologically advanced countries, our mothers and sisters are still using grinding stones to grind pepper while our men are still using raffia to climb palm trees. Good and commercially viable agricultural products still perish on their ways to the market because there’s no means of preserving them. While they have failed in their patriotic duties of using their experiences to help in the development of their country, they appear unrelenting in the bid to rubbish whatever progress Nigeria is making. This was why when Nigeria was categorised as one the fastest developing economies in the world, it did not make an impression on these set of intellectuals, neither have they said anything since our military turned the tide against terrorists and insurgents that have been disturbing the peace of the country. There are millions of Nigerians in the diaspora and can be found in most countries of the world including the United States, UK, South Africa, UAE, Italy, and Spain. A survey conducted in the US indicated that Nigerians in the US are one of the highest educated migrant groups. The survey found that 29 per cent of the Nigerian diaspora older than 25, held a master’s degree, Ph.D. or an advanced professional degree compared to 11 per cent of the US population overall. It is said that no country in Sub-Saharan Africa receives more remittances than Nigeria, estimated by the World Bank at around 24.3B per year and 6 per cent of GDP. This makes Nigeria the sixth country in the world in remittance inflows. This should have been celebrated as it is quite huge, but the benefits of such potentials are hardly seen at home. This is because they are only channeled towards luxurious and personal interests. Hardly are the inflows invested into the Nigerian economy with a view to ensuring a multiplier effect. They are remittances through family ties and have not been substantial enough to jump-start any aspect of the economy, let alone develop one. Worse still, many of the Nigerians in the diaspora, wreak havoc on the image of Nigeria by their involvement in crime across the continents. A release by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for America in the year 2020 showed that Nigerian citizens are among the leading nationals in crime. Clearly, they have become bad influences on their home country by becoming emergency activists who go out to ruin the peace of the country. It has even been alleged that some of their unpatriotic interventions are sponsored to destabilise Nigeria for which they receive financial gratification. But these have got to stop. Nigerians abroad must start seeing the good in their country and project the same to the world. They must serve as the catalyst for technological advancement and steer clear of the underground moves to use them to destabilise their own country. https://dailytrust.com/nigeria-and-her-betrayal-by-people-in-diaspora mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala

The Citizens Action for Good Governance (CAGG) a non-
governmental organisation, has hailed President Muhammadu
Buhari over the rescue of kidnapped Katsina schoolboys from
their captors.
A statement signed by the national coordinator, of the group,
Nazir Galadanchi, noted that Nigeria was under control as the
Buhari-led administration is doing all within its powers to
ensure Nigeria and Nigerians are well secured and protected
despite the bluff of bandits and insurgents.

The statement also acknowledged the role played by governor
of Katsina State, Aminu Bello Masari, the Inspector General of
Police, Mohammed Adamu and other service chiefs in the
release of the boys after much negotiation with their captors.
Masari had earlier confirmed the release of 340 students of
Government Science Secondary School (GSSS) Kankara and
were heading to Katsina from a forest the abductors kept
them.
The statement reads in part, “We were all traumatized and
anxious by the kidnap of over 300 students of Government
Secondary Science School in Kankara, Katsina State on
December 11, 2020, by gunmen later claimed to be members
of the Boko Haram sect.
“We condemned the kidnap of innocent boys that same day
and were sure of their release with prayers to God for their
unconditional release.
“We were excited and rejoicing by receiving the news on
Thursday of their rescue following President Muhammadu’s
tenacity and resolve to rescue the boys and hand them over
to their parents and families.”

Nigeria was under control as the
Buhari-led administration is doing all within its powers to
ensure Nigeria and Nigerians are well secured and protected
despite the bluff of bandits and insurgents. mynd44 pls do the needfull

The Nigerian Military yesterday made some revelations on the
rescue operation of the 344 boys kidnapped from their school
in Kankara, Katsina State, on December 11.
It disclosed that while kinetic and non-kinetic approaches
were deployed to ensure all the boys were rescued unhurt,
there was resistance from the abductors who laid an ambush
against the troops.
The coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John
Enenche, and a former director, Military Intelligence, Maj.-Gen.
Ahmed Jibrin (rtd) gave the account when they featured on a
special edition of the Nigeria Television Authority programme,
“Good Morning Nigeria.”


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Jibrin is
currently the special adviser, Technical, to the Minister of
Defence, retired Maj.-Gen. Bashir Magashi.
Jibrin said following the abduction of the boys, the minister
led a delegation, including the Service Chiefs and National
Security Adviser, to Katsina and Kankara.
He said the minister gave the rules of engagement directing
the troops to ensure the abducted boys were rescued without
casualties and within the shortest time possible.
“Following the directive, the troop closed in on the abductors
from four different fronts, including the reinforcement that was
made from other divisions to ensure that the entire location
was sealed off.
“The bandits were all under siege and they were fully aware of
that, feeling the impacts of the presence of the troops both
from the air and on the ground.
“When they approached the location where the boys were held,
the troops encountered some pockets of opposition which
they cleared and moved deeper into the forest.
“Although there was no casualty on the part of the boys, a lot
of the bandits were neutralised because, in the attempt by the
military to move forward, they laid an ambush in two places
along the way.
“In fact, in the second place where they laid an ambush, there
was serious resistance because they were hiding and occupied
the road.
“They delayed the movement of the troop for some hours
before they were neutralised,’’ he said.
Jibrin said while the troops were on the field, negotiations
were ongoing at another level of the rescue efforts.
He said the troop could not completely demobilise the bandits
because of possible collateral damage as the abducted boys
were used as a human shield.
On the claim by the Boko Haram terrorists that they were
responsible for the abduction, Jibrin said the group was only
seeking cheap relevance.
“Shekau does not have the reach to carry out the abduction
because a lot is being done to stop them in the North-East.
