Nnamdi Okafor: I Will Rather Be A Refugee Or Die In Ukraine Than Return by SecretAgent7706(op): 9:37pm On Mar 05, 2022
A Nigerian based in Ukraine, Nnamdi Okafor has declared his preference for becoming a refugee rather than returning to Nigeria.

He said this in an interview with TheNiche Newspapers on Friday.

Asked why he wasn't taking advantage of the Federal Government's evacuation flights to return home, he said, "What am I coming back to Nigeria to do? Has anything changed in our country?"

The 32-year-old Anambra indigene added, “For now, I am still in Ukraine. I used to live in the capital city, Kyiv, but I have moved to one of the border towns which is relatively safe presently.

“But if the war reaches there, I will escape to another country by the grace of God. But if death becomes my destiny, so be it. I would rather be here as a refugee than return to Nigeria."

Ukraine has become a battlefield following the invasion of the country by Russia more than a week ago.

That's what hate does, it makes someone to be enternally confused !
The poster intents to mock SE even when the content of the thread didn't mention SE. The Op Went and recognized the same SE he hates as an independent country and on the other hand fighting tooth and nail begging for unity all over the media with the same SE he he despise and and still went again regonised as an independent country..

Those are paid agents doing everything to demarket Southeast. They go about twisting any available news to suit their agenda. Look at the op his moniker is not even up to a week old.

This one is not a blogger. Look at when he created his Nairaland account.

Bedside, the link he drop is not a blog.
Re: Nnamdi Okafor: I Will Rather Be A Refugee Or Die In Ukraine Than Return by Nobody:
This is a slave by nature mentality that the people of hinterland are known for, we know them well.

Nnamdi Okafor is a disgrace to himself and bloodline, maybe including his tribe. Children of hate are a lost cause, let them keep volunteering to be roasted in the white mans land. People of no country deserve to be burnt at the stake in Ukraine, simple as that.

They better not call Nigeria for help when their racist masters start dealing with them. Rather die there and leave Nigerian government out of your stupidity.

You'll know you've failed as a nation when war is chosen over the "peace" you offer.
Re: Nnamdi Okafor: I Will Rather Be A Refugee Or Die In Ukraine Than Return by Abdulquadrimuha(m): 7:01am On Mar 06, 2022
I won't blame him tho because if we should ask our selves has anything change in Nigeria? Is Nigeria changing for good?

The answer is NO.

That's his choice.

Isn't Nigeria that is not at war in worse conditions than most part of Ukraine? Abeg free the boy.

Nigerians, many of them will rather die in abroad washing toilets than to come to Nigeria and take a better job.

Why were they still hanging there when a war is coming? Why didn't they try and find their way out on the first day of the war like many Ukrainians
Hmmmmm..... this is deep!
You are right afterall Bena!

SE na Super Eagles abi na South East

I can't blame him sha he is banking on the fact that when peace returns, you and I know that Ukraine or Ukrainians will still have a better life, longer life expectancy, better health care, better infrastructure, stable electricity, more job availability by ratio or Percentage to populartion Than Nigeria will so I wish him all the best.
Re: Nnamdi Okafor: I Will Rather Be A Refugee Or Die In Ukraine Than Return by Ournolly: 7:04am On Mar 06, 2022
I can't see a single mention of South East from his comment yet the topic has South East.
Nairaland is fast becoming anti South East propaganda website.
