Are we finally getting the balls to stand up for our poor people in a bad situation after Goodluck sold them out!!!


By recognizing the rebels who are killing Nigerian and Desecrating Nigerian women for fun he took away a big card,  Namely the card of negotiation, 

Now, if a Nigerian is captured by Gaddafi fans they have every reason to kill him/her! This is because, Nigeria took the side of the opposition. Sadly for the Nigeria the opposition is racist so, if a Nigerian is caught by the rebels he/she will be killed so, either way Nigerians are the losers!!! This is what happens when puppets run your foreign policy! Notice how America got all its citizens out before it started bombing, Nigeria on the other hand does not care about it's people. A nation of 160 million doing no significant evacuation!!! Shame!!!!Now, acting angry because our citizens are treated like dogs!

Nigeria is protesting to Libya’s Transitional National Council (TNC), Britain and France the killing of its nationals in the troubled North African country.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Amb. Olugbenga Ashiru abandoned a church service yesterday to take distress calls of Nigerians in Libya, including their co-ordinator, Mr. Daramola Siji.

Nigerians are being attacked in Tripoli, Benghazi, Gath, Agadez and Sirte, the hometown of the embattled Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, whose 42-year grip on power has been removed by a six-month insurgency.

A source said: “Unharmed Nigerians are being killed in tens for no just cause. In some instances, they rape Nigerian women before shooting them to death.

“Yet, this is the same TNC that the Federal Government is backing in Libya. The blacks are not involved in Libyan crisis; they do not deserve this massacre.”

In one of the distress notes sent to the Presidency and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Siji, who is from Emure-Ekiti, said: “We cannot go out of our homes, my wife and children. We will certainly be shot. We don’t have food and we lack everything.

“We can save lives. I am calling on AU to act and save African families boxed in troubled Libya and if anyone could reach out to the Nigerian government to stop the killing of Nigerians by the former rebels who are now the new leaders in Libya, it will be better.”

In a telephone chat with our correspondent, Siji gave details of how Nigerians have become the targets of the rebels.

He added: “The truth is that when Gaddafi was in office, he had sympathy for black Africans and many have even settled in Libya.

“In fact, there is a city in Southern Libya called Suyima that is mostly populated by Nigerians, especially the Hausa. The city shares borders with Algeria and Niger.

“But due to Gaddafi’s sympathy for the blacks, the rebels assumed that the blacks will naturally do everything to protect Gaddafi. So, they decided to kill any black man on sight.

“Nigerians have been the butt of the attacks on the blacks because the rebels could hardly differentiate them from Ghanaians, Malians, Nigerians, Burkinabes, Senegalese and Gambians.

“They are really killing many Nigerians and this is just unfortunate.”

The Nation learnt that Amb. Ashiru was moved into action after getting the distress call yesterday. He shelved a church service to attend to the calls.

A government source said: “Apart from talking to Siji directly, the Minister also reached out to the TNC, Britain and France on the need to stop the killing of black migrant workers, especially Nigerians.

“For about five hours yesterday, the Minister was talking to the TNC leaders, Britain and France on why the genocide must stop.

“The Federal Government has pleaded with Britain and France to prevail on the TNC leaders to ask their foot soldiers to end the massacre of blacks in Libya.

“I think immediate action has been taken and there will be respite for not only Nigerians, but all the blacks in Libya.

“The government has also asked the TNC to liaise with Siji, who will now serve as a coordinator or Liaison Officer on how to protect the blacks, especially Nigerians.

“Also, the Nigerian Ambassador to Ethiopia has been asked to relate with the Nigerian community in the Libyan cities. The Ambassador will also work directly with the TNC.

“The Ambassador is also expected to send hourly situation reports to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where a desk has been opened to monitor TNC’s attitude to blacks, especially Nigerians, in Libya.”

This is the second time in the last four days that the Federal Government has protested to its TNC ally in Libya over the massacre of black migrant workers.

The Minister said Thursday: “The Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wishes to note with concern reports of incessant abuse of helpless civilians in Libya by some unscrupulous elements who continue to take undue advantage of the ongoing crisis in that country, particularly to carry out attacks on Black migrant workers and other Black Africans stranded in Libya arising from crisis in that country.

“Regrettably, these reports revealed outright killings, rape and extortion of money from these helpless Africans who have taken refuge in camps as well as those in detention and incarceration.

“This development is a deviation from the overall expressed desire of the TNC, the African Union and indeed the United Nations for the restoration of democracy and good governance in Libya.

“These extra-judicial killings certainly run contrary to Nigeria’s call for the leadership of the TNC to be magnanimous in victory and can only stand in the way of peace building, early reconciliation and reconstruction in Libya.

“While confirming that the concern of the Nigerian government on this reported development has accordingly been brought to the urgent attention of the representative of the TNC, the government seizes this opportunity to call on the leadership of the TNC to immediately take steps to check the excesses of these unscrupulous elements in Libya in order to pave the way for the restoration of genuine democracy and true reconciliation for all Libyans.

“Nigeria reiterates its support not only for the yearnings for political freedom by the Libyan people, but also in the ability of the leadership of the TNC to restore order in the Libyan society at the shortest possible time.

“Government believes that the immediate task for the enthronement of democracy, rule of law, political and socio-economic reconstruction and development in Libya should be carried out without hindrance.”

Images of black Africans camping near the port in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, were shown on Sky News yesterday.

The refugees spoke of attacks by the rebels, who raped women. Many immigrants have been killed, they said.

A Cape Town doctor, working with an international humanitarian aid group in Libya, has described how more than 1000 foreign labourers are holed up in derelict camps without food and water.

Dr Mohammed Dalwai, 28, who arrived in Libya's capital, Tripoli, two weeks ago, said the country's situation was dire.

More than 1000 labourers from Nigeria, Gambia, Togo and Sudan are struggling to survive in the camps without food or water. Dalwai, a member of the humanitarian group Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), said the walls of one of the camps, erected in a port west of the city, had faeces smeared on them.

"There is nothing at the camps, no water, no electricity. They are sleeping under derelict boats and there is excrement on the side of the harbour wall," said Dalwai.

The doctor said as a result of the absence of ablution facilities, disease was spreading.

Some of the migrant workers complained of respiratory infections, skin diseases and gastro-intestinal conditions. "A lot of them feel scared ,  (and) they are showing signs of psychosomatic disorders," he said.

Between 800 and 1000 labourers have been crammed into the makeshift port camp, while another 200 are located on a farm. Forces loyal to ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi have choked off Tripoli's water supply and engineers have not yet managed to reach the pumping stations at Jebel Hassouna, 700km away.

Some of the labourers have been in Libya for three years, working in the country's billion-dollar oil industry.

[b]Dalwai said migrant workers still feared for their lives [/b]as fighters are still trying to root out forces loyal to Gaddafi.

Dalwai, who arrived in Tripoli on August 26, is expected to return home on Saturday.

MSF spokesman Kate Ribet said between 40 and 50 of the organisation's international staff are working in Libya.

Libya was 1000000000000000000000000000000000000X times better than every other African country!

The so called Democracy they want will end up killing them,

Do they want a "Tribal" Democracy like we have in Nigeria were members of certain tribes will almost never come to power!?? Is that they solution to their problems? WIll the Wafallah tribe now be institutionalized to rule Libya for the next 1000 years?? I don't think they know what they are really asking for!

So called rebel criminals have not yet won! Maybe Jonathan should send Nigerians to help them! If you are going to support a group should it not be with action

On this topic why should the gov be begging criminals to stop killing innocent people??

meanwhile,

Are we animals

Look at these lies by the dumb media men! How much evidence do we need to provide that Nigerians are being killed!

It is funny Goodluck is talking about democracy and Ivory Coast as if those are his strengths,


4000 people died when the Malian-Burkina French armed Mande Origin tribes men went and massacred the Kru speaking tribes in Western Ivory Coast! Do you call that a success?? When a genocide occurred or is it the fact that all that died are Black so it does not matter to Goodluck?? Even today they continue their ethnic clearing policy under the watchful eyes of Ouatarra and his tribesmen!

His foreign policy is a disgrace!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/02/800-dead-ivory-coast-duekoue

success indeed!!

I Wonder why he gets mad when Chadian and Niger citizens join boko Haram to kill Nigerians when he joins France and the West to Kill other Africans all the time??

Only powerless due to the likes of Goodluck Jonathan and I don't consider South Africa weak or even Ghana b/c at least they stood for something!

The likes of Chad(recognizing the rebels after they have killed mainly chadians), Niger, and Nigeria are the disgraces!!!

The dogs have no dignity! Neither do those who recognize and fraternize with them!!!

Why did we recognize these criminals again? The lady in the video clearly said they are treated like Animals!

If the Nigerian in Goodluck Jonathans Libya is an ANIMAL what about the Nigerian living under his rule

The Rebels are animals!


Why arrest these families

Goodluck Jonathan's Libya!!! Where peoples life savings are snatched by rats and they are jailed with no real charges!! Those are the Lucky ones! The unlucky ones like the Nigerians I showed yesterday get killed!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjepDWl9IIc

Algeria has one of the best Anti-Alqaeda fighting forces in the world. We should have learned from them instead of inviting the clueless FBI!

These are actually the lucky ones In my opinion! Unlike the Nigerians whose clips I showed yesterday, the people who captured these people put them in jail. If any type of democracy forms in Libya they should be able to easily win their case and regain the freedom!!!

I would say all the Ghanaians stuck there deserve it since they had a chance to leave but, choose to stay and try to make money thinking it was not serious!! I feel sad for the Nigerians though because, we never really did a big evacuation!  If Ghana evacuated 18,000 we should have been able to evacuate 60,000!

Instead we did less than 2000!

Value of the African??

Great clip!!!

NO Nigerian killed according to the gov

Let's be honest the Nigerian gov. does not care and most of the world does not care because, in reality killing a few Black people in not considered a big deal!  When the French killed 3500 Ivorians to install Quatarra it was considered a success,   Just like when people throw all those numbers around about people killed in Darfur or Somalia nobody really cares!!! in the bigger picture a few dead Black Africans is not a barrier to the bigger objectives. For example 35 percent of Libya's oil for France! Do you think they care about some dead Africans?? ahhahaha. Everyone looks out for their own interest and compassion only counts when one has something to gain. That is the world we live in!!! So the Nigerian gov. will continue to support these types of things with the hope of getting some type of UN seat in the future. Let the blood flow!!!

First of all I am not Ibo but, what is wrong with traveling! These guys were just very unlucky and got massacred for being in the worng countyr and the wrong tie!!

Why does everything turn into tribe on this forum??

Are you serious?? ahhaahahhaahahha stop being a clown this is not a joke!!!

More Nigerians killed

Nigerian barely survives,

He said he was Nigerian and spoke English!

That is what makes these guys idiots,

More Nigerians caught by the Rebels!

http://indepthafrica.com/news/northafrica/libya-rebels-promised-france-35-oil/

meanwhile France gets 35 percent of Libya's oil! What does Nigeria get??


A lower population!!!

Those are not mercenaries but, idiots that decided to stay. Some legitimately had a chance ot leave but, preferred to stay and plan a trip to Europe! Now the Rebels have got them!

African does not have the fire power. Gaddafi invested more in his military than almost any other African leader the most expensive parts were bombed by a 3 days!!

Goodluck Jonathans Libya!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtuIZozNryo&feature=player_embedded

Black Libyan massacred like a dog due to his color!

That CS article is talking about the Tuaregs,

Even the so called Tuaregs they are calling mercenaries are part of Libya's demographics!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Libya_ethnic.svg

The Tuareg are one of the lost groups in Africa not having any country where they constitute the majority or are in the mainstream!

The crazy thing is the Tuareg are of North African origin are are considered "Berbers" but, are darker . Many have lived in Libya for something like 20 years , were born in Libya or are from Libya!

! I don't know why they would be considered mercenaries when they are essentially citizens!

Because there is no evidence of it! Amnesty international has come out and said it! So has Human rights watch!


The Libyan NTC even admitted to having lied recently about having Gaddafi's son as a mechanism to destabilize the gov on the day on the invasion of Tripoli, These same rebels claimed Gaddafi was in Venezuela early on in the revolution! The Rebels have no credibility!

About Sofia John (RIP), She may have simply been an economic immigrant picked up raped and killed! Did you not see the end of the video were they said the Rebels dumbed 2 female snipers bodies, You have to read in between the line,
