Jakumo:
This is a good point for sure. A student with limited monetary means would not want to embark on costly road travel until it is irrefutably clear that staying put could become life-threatening.

Sadly true

No be everything we go dey call "inferiority complex"

That's cultural exportation. Music and movies remains the sole tool of modern cultural awareness. The more popular your culture becomes, the more superior it feels to the less popular culture.

You for ignore the ignorant mofo.

While other governments are making plans to evacuate their citizens from Ukraine, Nigerian students tell CNN they have been essentially told: “You’re on your own.”

Anjola-Oluwa Ero-Phillips said he and around 70 other Nigerian students are stranded with no way to legally leave Lviv in the west of the country, close to the border with Poland.

Abike Dabiri of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission told CNN that the country's foreign ministry will announce evacuation plans, but gave no timeline.

Dabiri also sent updated travel advice from the Nigerian foreign ministry asking Nigerian students in Ukraine to “remain calm but be very vigilant and be responsible for their personal security and safety.”

Lviv is around 300 miles from Ukraine capital Kyiv where explosions were heard in the early hours of Thursday after Russian forces entered the country.

“There have not been explosions here but earlier in the day we heard the siren tests. Flights are cancelled and it’s hard to get any taxis or Uber,” medical student Ero-Phillips said of the situation in Lviv.

“Everybody is at the ATM trying to withdraw cash but banks are not opening. Money is running out at the ATM and you can’t do app transactions anymore,” he added.

"Based on what I have heard from the Indian citizens, their government is trying to get free transit for them to the Polish border,” Ero-Phillips said.

In an advisory Thursday, the Indian Embassy in Kyiv said arrangements were being put in place to evacuate Indian nationals and students.

“No one has any idea what to do. We have been reaching out to the Nigerian embassy since last month,” said Ero-Phillips, who is president of the Lviv arm of the Association of Nigerian students in Ukraine.

As parts of Ukraine come under Russian offense, tensions have traveled to the other side of the country to Lviv, located in western Ukraine, deputy Mayor Andriy Moskalenko told CNN.

"In Lviv, we had this morning sirens. And so it was a sign for people to move to underground places. It was a potential threat," he said, adding that there were no explosions.
CNN reported residents lined out of banks and ATMs to withdraw money and at gas stations out of concern. The city has also instructed education to move online so children and university students can stay at home, the deputy mayor told CNN.

Otherwise, services and institutions are working as usual, he said.

"Right now, the city works as usual. We have water supply, heat supply, we have transport and banks and other institutions at work. We, together with state security service, the administration, with police, manage our work. So we have come to headquarters to provide services for our residents," Moskalenko told CNN.

This war has been coming for weeks now. Almost all countries have already told their citizens to evacuate.... What were they still doing there?

Most of them are students, imagine yourself as one of them, where would you go without state support except hope Russia doesn't make good their threat?

Nigerians living in Ukraine cried out through social media after Russia attacked Ukrainian cities early on Thursday morning.
They claimed the Nigerian embassy in Ukraine had earlier given them assurances to be calm that nothing was going to happen.

On the contrary, they started hearing explosions and gunshots today and they no longer feel safe.

They were able to make it to the train station but they are now stranded as many people are attempting to leave the city at once.

Baitullah:
If this is true, then South Africans are truly xenophobic

Bunch of illiterates!

Igweokalakwu:
Putin wants to be seen as a Nationalist in other to force public support and divert attention at home.

He's playing the Hitler card here
He's just a cunning opportunist.

We’ll see where it leads him:

Stop complaining, Get your PVC!

This is a very common issue in Nigerian churches.
I know someone who was heavily into this but lost contact for years now so I don’t know if he is facing repercussions or not.

Can you really blame the ushers? If they don’t take some of it, the pastor takes all.

Fashionista01:
Hope he will stop stealing and be useful to himself and the society.

He may be innocent

Rastaramsey:
