Abjay97:This obsession with traveling out is really a madness. You better ask questions how hard life is for illegal immigrants everywhere. You will regret your life if you try that. It’s bettet you stay in your country and fight the useless old men. Are you not a man like them? Why are you running everywhere like a squirrel. What are you running from? Is it not the same death and suffering you will meet where you are running to? 3 Likes |

ok here is the real story about the so called stranded Nigerians in Russia: Moscow: Fraudsters have tricked scores of Nigerians by selling them football World Cup fan passes to travel to Russia, leaving many stranded and penniless, victims and anti-trafficking campaigners say. Some Nigerians told AFP they used the official Fan IDs to come to Russia with the promise of finding work or even playing professional football themselves.Others said they came to watch World Cup matches but got stranded when their return plane tickets were cancelled by bogus travel agencies that booked them. Ismail Olamilekan, 21, and his brother Sodiq, 25, said they paid 250,000 naira (600 euros, $700) each to a man in Lagos for their Fan Ids. "The man told us that with the Fan ID we could get a job and stay here," Ismail told AFP at a hostel on the outskirts of Moscow."But when we got here we discovered that it was a fraud, that he had just collected the money and lied to us."'Football career' -The plastic-coated passes issued by the Russian government enable foreign fans with match tickets to enter the country without a visa during the World Cup -- but they expire before the end of July. It was not clear how the bogus agents obtained the Fan IDs that they sold. A FIFA spokesman stressed that the Fan IDs system was implemented by the Russian communications ministry. FIFA "continues to make efforts to identify and curb unauthorised ticket sales", he added.Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing it was a matter for the consular authorities of the countries concerned. "You can't rule out that some of the foreign guests, taking advantage of visiting the World Cup, are counting in some way or another, usually illegally, on crossing the Russian border and entering one of the European countries," she added.Nigerians 'stranded' The Olamilekan brothers spent about a thousand dollars each for their plane fare to Moscow, on top of what they paid separately to the agent. "In Nigeria I play football. He told me that if I started working I can also start a (football) career in Russia," Ismail Olamilekan said.A fellow Muslim was allowing the brothers to sleep in his hostel until their return flight on July 22. Other Nigerians however found themselves stranded in Russia after fraudulent "agents" who booked return flights for them then cancelled the bookings to get a refund. One group of about a dozen Nigerians spent days sleeping at Moscow's Vnukovo airport. Some of them told AFP they paid more than a million naira each to an agent for a package including flights, match tickets and a fan ID."We've been sleeping on the floor like fools. We've got no place to go," said Alonge Ademola, 35, a cement dealer from Lagos. "We really do want to go back to our country. We've cried, we've wept, but still no solution."Russian charity Alternativa said it had helped about 50 Nigerians stranded in Russia and estimated there were about 200 in difficulty overall. "With globalisation the opportunities for criminals are also increasing. The Fan IDs make an extremely profitable business for them," said the group's spokeswoman, Yulia Siluyanova.Lesson learnt -Around 50 Nigerians spent the night of Thursday to Friday on the pavement in front of the Nigerian embassy in Moscow. Nigerian embassy spokesman Olumide Ajayi told AFP on Friday that it had made arrangements to house 57 stranded Nigerians and would work with Russian authorities and airlines to find a way to send them home.The Olamilekan brothers meanwhile are waiting to board the return flights. They funded the whole trip with money their parents borrowed. "We don't have any option but to go back home and work and pay our parents' debts," Ismail said."I spoke to them last night. They asked if we've got a job and if we're living well and I decided to tell them yes. I don't like lying to my parents," he said. "I still give thanks to God because he has taught me a lesson." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq8j1EtKymE 1 Like |

Abjay97: You people will never learn. Once you get to Europe they will send you back. They have no need for you. Those countries have their own issues to contend with. Their people fought for their rights. Fought for decent political systems. Meanwhile Africans keep crying about a lack of political and social progress whilst clinging to stupid cultural practices that in some cases are literally causing death. 1 Like |

Abjay97: LOL, you are a funny fellow.... how will they go all the way to Ukraine border (600kms away) to begin with, let alone enter ukraine?! or you think Russia/Ukraine is a walk in the park?! go to transit at Moscow airport and see the many people stuck in transit with no return ticket that Russian gov dont give a damn about. if you arrive in Russia with migrant/asylum BS, they will keep you in transit until your claim is approved. if it isnt then you must go back (with your own money). last time i was at Moscow airport, i met NO LESS than 50 Africans (and countless other Asians etc) stranded at the airport for MONTHS begging for money to feed themselves etc. dont believe the hype bro, Russia is hell! my question to these socalled stranded people IS: so you mean to say that you were able to pay close to a million Naira to come watch football matches, yet dont have any money to buy new plane ticket to go back home AND/OR a job to run back to?! 2 Likes |

Not at all, these are the type of Nigerians that will ask you why you are not back in Nigeria if you insist abroad is not heaven, at all cost they want to leave. Welcome to Russia, Putin is smarter than all of you combined. Your refugee bulshit story won't cut it for him. Bros bombed Syria and still won't accept them as refugeed, let alone you. If by 25th you don't leave Russia , he will put all of you in one room and kill you with radiation. Am not jocking o, if your brother is among these guys please start crying early. 3 Likes |
