Many Nigerians ‘stranded’ in UAE are ex-convicts, says Dabiri-Erewa

Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Abike Dabiri-Erewa has stated that Nigerians claiming to be stranded in United Arab Emirates (UAE) are ex-convicts.

According to her, many of those affected have not been totally cooperative as they refused to follow the laid down procedures.

Besides, she revealed that the ex- convicts had just served out their various jail sentences.

Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa stated this in a statement issued yesterday by the commission’s Head of Media, Public Relations and Protocols, Abdur-Rahman Balogun.

The statement reads: “The Chairman/CEO, NIDCOM has advised Nigerians who illegally travelled to the UAE and are stranded there not to make an already bad case worse by resorting to media blackmail.

“Apparently responding to a post that ‘300 Nigerians abandoned in Dubai as NIDCOM, NAPTIP, Foreign Affairs relax evacuation effort’ on some social media blogs on Wednesday, the NIDCOM boss said despite several warnings by the Federal Government through its relevant agencies on consequences of illegal migration to the UAE and other countries, it was regrettable that some Nigerians still found themselves as victims of this irregular act

“In line with its citizens’ diplomacy, the Federal Government had approved the evacuation of over 300 Nigerians stranded in the UAE. Regrettably, many of those affected have not been totally cooperative as they refused to follow the laid down procedures.

“Investigations also revealed that over 100 Nigerians, who had served various jail sentences (ranging from drugs to credit card frauds, robberies etc.) suddenly landed at the holding centres, demanding of the Nigerian Consulate in Dubai to ‘immediately bring them back’. Their voices have been the loudest.

“Dabiri-Erewa said rather than complying with the directives of the Nigerian Consulate in Dubai, some Nigerians were busy pursuing a media blackmail of the Federal Government as well as the UAE government.”

This media blackmail, she said, would make an already bad case worse, noting that rules on such cases would not be circumvented.

If Nigeria is really good why would anyone put himself or herself through embarrassment all in the name of going to another country?

A man was dating three women and wanted to decide who to marry.
He then gave them a test. He gave each woman $10,000 and observed what each did with the money.
The first one did a total make-over which included a fancy hair style, make up and several new outfits. She then dressed up for the man and said, "I have done this to make myself more attractive to you because I love you so much." The man was impressed.

The second woman went and bought gifts for the man. She bought him a new smartphone, a Rolex watch and very flashy clothes. As she presented these gifts to him she said, "I've spent all the money on you because I love you so much." The man was again impressed.

The third one invested the money in the stock market. She earned $40,000 and gave him back his $10,000. She then deposited the remainder in a joint account. She told him that she wanted to secure their future because she loved him so much. Obviously the man was very impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money.
In the end he left all three ladies
And married one of his side chick the one with the biggest buttock .

*MEN will always be MEN.*
Happy weekend

I used to love this woman during her days in NTA. But ever since she joined politics she has become nothing but a bigot. I see her becoming irrelevant after 2023.

This I have seen.

That's not her point...

They should comply with the already laid down procedures for their evacuation rather than resort to media blackmail thereby complicating an already bad situation.

She said they did not follow laid down procedures and here you are all asking if they are Nigerians.

Let us learn to subject ourselves to laws, order, orderliness as well as good conduct.

We keep shaming ourselves with our bad behaviour and do not realise how a pariah status hurts us.

Irresponsible leaders. They must be ex convicts since you have no solutions to their challenges. Liars.

If they are Nigerians nko? Are they the only foreigners in Dubai? They are not even the only West Africans, but they are the most unruly, criminal minded and alway playing the victim.

In a little while, no other country in the world would allow Nigerians into their soil.
