They are mad, tbey had weeks to vacate, they aye their food, drank their water, they were welcome to have better life in Ukrainia and a war comes, they want to run...

May God keep all our Nigerian brothers and sisters, students and children in Ukraine and lead them to safety. This is a very worrisome situation.

Nigeria is a failed country.
Using India as a case study.
India has carried out a round of evacuation of its nationals stranded in Ukraine. The first batch of Indian students left Chernivtsi in a bus for the Ukraine-Romania border. The Embassy of India in Kyiv announced that the evacuation was being organised with the joint effort of the Indian embassies in Romania, Hungary and Poland.

"Today afternoon more than 470 students will exit the Ukraine and enter Romania through the Porubne-Siret border. We are moving Indians located at the border to neighbouring countries for onward evacuation. Efforts are underway to relocate Indians coming from the hinterland," the Embassy of India in Ukraine said in a social media message.

War is never an option in this age. Now the invasion isn't only affecting Ukrainians but other foreign nationals which Nigerians are not excluded. Putin is evil. He should be stopped at all cost..

This is so unfortunate. I never quite understood why Nigerians chose Ukraine as a place to go and study. Even if you don't want to study in Nigeria because of the incessant strikes, why not try universities in other African countries if you cannot afford to study in America, Canada, UK or Australia?

How can many of you feel safe going to all these Eastern European countries like Cyprus, Ukraine, Russia and the likes? This is what happens when some of you always behave as if every white country must be better than African countries. You see am now? I must japa, I must japa. If you want to japa, japa to places that are relatively safe for Blacks but you people never listen.

You think racism is a joke? Look at all the Blacks around the world that have lost their lives to white supremacists but you people think you are a special kind of Black people and nothing dey happen. By the time europeans finish with you people, you will understand that in this world, oyibos don't change. They are still the same way they were when they came to enslave and colonize your ancestors.

Good luck getting help from Ukrainians who themselves are fleeing and no send una message. You all are in my prayers.

However your dead economy, enjoys the diaspora remittance ;they receive in foreign currency's annually; many Nigerians suffer in many terrible countries to make a living;because staying or studying in Nigeria is worst;with frequent strike and unemployment;More than 60% of Nigeria's working-age population is younger than 34. Unemployment for people aged 15 to 24 stood at 53.4% in the fourth quarter, and at 37.2% for people aged 25 to 34. The jobless rate for women was 35.2% compared with 31.8% for men.
Diaspora remittances into Nigeria increased by 15.6% QoQ to $9.22 billion in H1 2021 compared to $7.98 billion recorded in the second half of 2020. It also represents a marginal 2.2% increase compared to $9.02 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2020 - Without the foreign remittance your economy wiil be worst; Yall use 92% of your annaul GDP to service your borrowed loans alone.
Help the people bringing in all this foreign exchange ;una government no fit do am; what does Nigerians gain self as citizens of Nigeria;You provide your own security,your own water,your own electricity, bad roads;you pay for your own hospital bills ;no social welfare. Nigeria is not a country ,its a business centre for your politiefcians.

IPIGSRHYPO:

The govt should fly into a war zone to rescue people who knew for months that war was coming?
Na by force to comment?

Why did the government fail to take proactive steps to evacuate them when America warned there's going to be an invasion? Use your head o

The only thing unfortunate is that you are not informed. I always pity people like you. And you are always the first in the front. Very naughty. Just read your comment. I have so many answers which will put you at your level. But let me just state it clearly, the Nigerian government has many students on scholarship in Ukraine and Russia. This is why the government is acting. Listen FG pays these students stipends monthly also. So, FG that sends its citizens there is craz.y ...right? Apart from that many state governments send students there also. That bilateral relationship has been there for many years, even more than 50 years.

So, do not just post. It is not by force to post. Most of you are illiterates.

Anywhere there will be war, there will be. Who says there can't be war in the US? The US being attacked has a higher probability than Russia attacking Ukraine. The US was telling Ukraine that Russia will attack, everyone is just laughing it off cos it is just not possible. No one believes it.

You want to compare Russia and Ukraine to Nigeria. You are not ok at all with that. You said African country. You don't even know anything. I don't blame you at all. Na illiteracy I blamed.

That racism you mentioned is what made me know you are a local person. Even with the internet, you don't know racism is in the US more than in these places. What a pity?

May God help you oooo. You will be alright.

How i wish that children of Ministers,Senators,House of reps members,permanent secretaries of MDAs,commissioners and former presidents are those caught up in the Ukraine

Na only Ukraine/Russian news full for Nairaland now with some silly Nairalanders sharing their nonsensical thoughts as if what happens in a 3rd world countries affects anything.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Their issue has nothing to do with racism..stop bringing racism into this kinda issue.. you should call out your government not crying racism..

Most of you are die hard racist yourself and you never fail to scream racism at any given moment..

The way most of you speak is so weird..what even brought colonizing and racism into a diplomatic issue? Or did you not see south Africa there?they sort themselves out instead of coming online to cry racism..
Same blame yve been heaping on whites..were you folks the only one colonized by white..
Coming online to heap the blame on them for searching for a greener pasture sounds disgusting..

you're still a kid

Can anything good come out of Nigeria FG? No!

In the name of Japa, you ran to poor European country. Now war catch una, na beg una dey beg. My heart goes out to those who genuinely went to study or are running legitimate businesses in Ukraine. As for the unserious desperate rest, you better cross over to Poland.

Shineoneday:
I'm not surprised, the failures of this country ehhh, that's one downside of traveling out as a Nigerian, any issues out there you're OYO.
may God save una oh

Oga, how about you travel to Kano or Makurdi for sth and a Bloody crisis breaks out! Kukuma be staying in ur parlour and never go on any journey!

So we should leave them there to die abi?

Karlovych:
Can the useless vegetable government get anything right at all?

Not right to speak this derisively of your country and government.

You obviously have not travelled outside Nigeria before. Russians are more welcoming that the south Africans. A relative studying in Russia didnt cook for about six months...families kept inviting him to have dinner with them. That's yakutsk in Siberia coldest city in the world and they hardly ever see a black person.

overall90:


You have time.
When you read some comments here eh, you will just tire.
Instead of calling out the government that failed to act and still failing to act,he is there talking trash.Even as Nigeria is this bad, you
still see other nationals coming into Nigeria for one reason or the other.people migrate for different reasons.that is human nature.it has nothing to do with racism or wether your country is doing well or not.

I am telling you..

They need to be patient, democrats will soon add them to the planned 3 million refugees from Ukraine to the US but they have to look strong to fit in. These guys have been trained and moved around a lot, from Pakistan to Syria to Afghanistan and now Ukrain. Liberals need to mop thousands of their secret CIA soldiers in Ukraine back to the US in preparation for the next fight in America. Millions of military age men have crossed the Mexican border into the US and waiting for order. Democrats are bringing the war home.

vincentjk:
Using this as an excuse, when have they ever rescued their citizens for once?

No be airpeace bn help una retrieve Nigerians from south Africa during the last xenophobia attack on Nigerians over there?

Mtchew

From a source, I've heard AP are planning to do something about retrieving Nigerians.

Let's watch out to see what happens.

failed Nigeria

I don't understand people. Any small thing they will start shouting racism. Imagine even the Chinese govt couldn't move up to 50% of their citizens out of Ukraine. Their last plane that left for Ukraine couldn't land due to the air restrictions imposed in Ukraine airspace talkless of naija wey dey far behind. abeg out more govt is still working in archaic mode joor

as it stands, which country Don evacute it citizens, Nigerians are just bent on insulting their government, blaming the government for their poverty where as some people are still making it big in the same country, buying cars and building houses everyday, even the Bible said they poor will be amongst you, think straight so that you won't be the poor the Bible was referring to.

This is very unfortunate for them, I wish them well.

Europe evacuated it citizens from Ukraine.
No be every country dull like naija

Now that the govt of Ukraine is unable to protect it's citizens; can they protect foreigners. My prayer is with them.

DuBLINGreenb:
Ehya

But when USA announced that an attack was going to happen last week and they evacuated all embassy staff and sent out travel warnings for Ukraine and also expressly told all their citizens in Ukraine to leave and provided flights for them

Where was Nigerian government? If you no get intelligence or ear to hear
Why not copy from your neighbor? Na so we dull reach?

Ok after failing then, India made arrangements with Poland to allow Indians in and evacuate them from there, Nigeria (giant of Africa) could not do that, they turned Nigerians back at the border this is shameful.

Nigeria Government have made their own warnings even since January.. even if they hadn't I am sure the Nigerians they knew war in imminent why did still choose to stay despite all the warnings?
