bayocanny: The only positive about the perilous travelling by land (not advocating for it o) is this: We all had and still have this idea of how europe would be an eldorado and even wondering if it's located in this same earth as ours.This feeling however begins to fade immediately you set foot in Niger and reality begins to hit and prepare you for the unending struggle ahead even in Europe. When we got off the dingy early morning all soaked and oozy,the spanish marine (civil guardia) had already picked us on radar and where on hand to receive and detain us which we gladly submitted to. It is worthy to note that we don't get a 100% on shore before disembarking and more people loose their lives from here as the smugglers are always in a hurry to get back to the moroccan side of the Sea to evade capture by the spanish authorities.( long jail term for them. So you'll often see people in a rush to get off the boat in desperation thereby slipping or falling into the deep waters. There are two major take off and target points across the waters into Spain.One is across the Atlantic ocean targeting the canary islands of Las Palmas and Tenerife,while the secon take off point is through the Meditteranean Sea targeting Aljeciras,Cardiz et al. Factors that determines what routes to strike from includes but not restricted to,Smugglers knowledge of the water ways,calmness or turbulence of the waters dependent on the season of the year.Best times across the waters is usually during the summer months. We arrived in Cadiz,taken into detention and processed in our wet in stinky clothes until late at night when the gates were opened and we were all let out into the streets to find our respective ways but who know road.This is where people who have contacts already in Spain or wherever begin to make calls to announce their arrival and location and from there onwards the second phase of life and the hustle begins.

horlahsunbo225: You can only bear the pains for as long as your body can carry before nature takes its toll. Collectively as a group under the directorship of our guide,we took out times to rest,eat and recuperate some before proceeding. But from time to time one or two persons gets exhausted and can't keep up pace any longer and take their own rest time and before you know it the group is gone far out of your sight and reach. It did affect me negatively not been under the shepherd of a guide who'll normally know the landmarks from point a to b or town a to b and how to stay away from troubled zones. Out of desperation and exhaustion and wanting to be caught by the cops for a reprieve (kpata kpata dem deport me back to magniya then i start again) i set off into town walking on major ways which on a good day should be a no no,but instead of finding the cops or getting arrested,i always encountered kind hearted moroccans who took pity on me and would give me food and hot tea and then direct me on how and where to walk to avoid getting arrested,risking their own freedom for mine. It's a big deal if a local is found out habouring or aiding an alien out there. 56 Likes 8 Shares |

dexcira: My first contact with my family came a whole three months after in December of '99. This was before the advent of the gsm but i crammed a couple of landline nos especially my dad's office number. So i called dad's office number.. ring ring... Receptionist:Hello goodmorning welcome to Afro bla bla bla how may we help you Me:My name is sir P Mr P the workshop manager's son i would love to speak with my dad. Receptionist:hold on while being put through At this time i don dey shiver my heart dey beat.. Dad picks up: Dad: Hello who's this? Me: Daddy good morning it's me sir p Dad: after a long sigh and exasperation and probably relief-where are you and where have you been everybody has been worried about you,your mom has become a shadow of herself..plenty talk Me: Daddy i'm in morocco.It's a long story but after i had flown out of nigeria i was denied entry at the airport,there was no way i could come back home to sit with you guys so i ventured on this journey when i heard some guys talking about it.I'm very sorry sir. Dad: your younger brother is here,works with me now Me: wow really? (excitedly) lemme speak with him My kid brother: Hello bros Me: Guy long time how far now My younger bro:He cuts in abrubtly bros na wa oo,for how long now you travel make everybody dey panic here if na me i know wetin i for don do. He didn't even allow me explain to him like i did my dad and dad was yet to brief him what i explained to him ( this is all retrospective thinking and me trynna make an excuse for my kid bro) i was hurt and touched at the same time but i still got love for my family because we are all we've got. After call dem seize me say i over talk and i no get shi shi to make up the difference na so i begin beg. When i got off the phone,i had a long thought about what my kid bro just told me on the phone.There and then i took a vow and a decision and dropped it jejely at the top of my to-do list... You'll find out subsequently if i visited my to do list or not.. cheers joseid,nazarene,nairalane,badboyharmony,emerich,souloho,horlasunbosun 33 Likes 2 Shares |
