@Soul47
My dear i am sorry for what you and your family are passing through but trust me it will be alright even though it may take a long while.

My family encountered similar issue even worse, we are two in our family just myself and kid brother.

He travelled out six years ago to Brazil while i got married three years ago.I have long lost my mum so it was just me and my dad.

My husband did my bride price and i got pregnant he said he wanted to travel out and will be back soon.

My dear i was two months pregnant living with my father when i was told my husband had been arrsted for drug offence i didnt hear from him again.

I went into depression, pregnancy, cashlessness and a father to take care of, i called my brother and cried my heart out he was pushed to redeem the family out pf poverty and frustration.

My dear that is how he carried drugs from brazil swallowed it and almost died and headed to South Africa enroute to Nigeria.

Himself and four of his friends left for that journey, i never knew he entered drugs just to raise money and help us as i was already nine months, frustrated with a father to feed.

My dear this is true life story, immediately he moved he called me his coming to Nigeria i was happy praying never knowing what laid ahead.

Two days later he called that himself and his four friends have been arrested in South Africa with drugs,Jesus i ran madddddd......i entered labour self immediately from the tears and frustration.

Thats how i birthed with tears and it was God all through, i told my dad about what happened and the man almost died.Few weeks later he called saying he needed 500,000 for lawyer else he stands a risk of being imprisoned for fifteen years chai.

Me wey never see 1000, well i cried and taught i would die, i cried ooo, my heart broke, i birthed a boy but sadness all over.My baby father made no contact for three years my dear.

I eventually got up, prayed and asked God to save me.I had stitches after child birth and was told to stay on bed rest for a while but i couldnt with all my problem.

Immediately i got home i dropped the baby with a neighbor and hit the street going to every of my uncle asking for help to raise lawyer money for my brother, my dear they all failed.They even mocked us that he shpuld test prison and see is not easy who told him to carry drugs.

My father was there asking me daily to talk to his son or he would die, chai.

I later had to give myself brain and spoke to my brother, he sounded strong initially telling me to be strong for him to take care of the family, that his friends have been sentenced to ten years and his thế last awaiting judgement i should just believe is ten or twelve yeats i should hold on throughout and kiss my baby for him.

I swear as am typing am even crying but am trying to tell u a real story to encourage you.I went to hustle by calling all my contacts that am into books selling, luckily for me, a lecturer friend gave me contract to stock school libray, i did that with the pain and stitches in my body after childbirth but i was determined to raise that lawyer money.

I did that and after that i made 150,000 from it.i quickly sent it to him asking him to deposit for lawyer, next i started going to island to look for things to resell, infact God was with me, within two months i raised another 70,000 and forwarded to him.Mind you all the people he knew failed him no support at all.


After i had sent the 220k in total, the lawyer came in and fought for him, told the court he had a job in Brazil which is true although the pay was small but he was pushed after his sister went into labour and the pressure from home was much etc, also his a firat time offender and his enroute Nigeria and not SA, sth like that sha. i was told to produce a lot of document thats how i kept running up and down like a mad woman, i slimed down to brown stick, people who came to greét me for the birth of my baby kept asking are you ok,chai i suffered.

I didnt even have time for myself or the baby, i kept sending him money to buy a phone there so we could communicate with him, if he buys this week nextweek they will seize it, upper week i send and they seize he buy again they seize infact it was a life time challenge i cannot forget.


After five months of awaiting trial he was sentenced to four years, to serve two years and two is suspended, chai i did it, all alone.Jehova be praised.I encouraged my dad all though telling him to be strong but in my room i cried.My father lived through it cos i stood like a lion and never gave up.

To the glory of God he started his sentence after he had wasted six months awaitig trial which was cancelled as it wasnt counted.He started serving and i kept praying, at some point we couldnt communicate but i had hope is not over he is alive he will be back someday.

To the glorify of God, he came back this year february 2019, instead of being deported to make matters worse for us here in naija,a Sputh African woman helped him to cross over and he was allowed to enter Nigeria after he had finished serving.

He came back looking so good against my initial thought of him looking sick and out.i cried and was mad with excitemnet.My father laid down on the sand and rolled to God thanking him, only son chai.we suffered, but is over.

Guess what three years down,my husband suddenly appeared released after been incommunicado for three years his son is a fine healthy boy of three years, finally is over.

Why did i write u long epistle is to tell you that people have seen it, have hope and faith for God is alive.

He isnt dead,chinese prisons dont give easy access to cellphone to call but know that one day he will call.

Be strong for your parents, dont be weak, encourage them, tell them is ok, that his fine. Tel tham that his friend said his ok, because sad news can kill them due to old age.Just tell them his ok but cant communicate.

Nobody can go there to see him, security is tight, my brother case nobody could,hmmmmm na drug oooo who go go?

Be prayerful, go to God and tell him to help ur family, do you know how i raised all that money i dont know, i havent even touched such fund in my life but when challenge came my determination pushed me to save my brother.He was the only one in his clique that got the easiest sentebce in a good cell.

So dont loose hope, his not dead, yes you hear stories that jail is tough thats true but it wont kill him it will only make him tougher thats the truth so dont worry he will be back one day,it may take long but he will.Stay strong, dont give up.

If you want to start contacting embassy, honestly naija is sth else the process will drain you emotionally, financially and yet you may not achieve any tangible result because he didnt go on student visa.

DONT GIVE UP, STAY STRONG, HE WILL COMMUNICATE SOON.BE STRONG FOR YOUR PARENTS ok.May God make it easy for you in jeaus name.Amen.

Amen.

Thanks for the response, am encouraged.

I just wish I could call him... But like you said they don't give easy access to phone calls in Chinese Prison.

Despite that, am strong.

Thanks for the comment once again .

Osisiogu2k4:
i hav a friend who can help u. call me up

Thanks for the response.

How will I do that...

Will send you a private message.

inspiredbelieve:
Send me a pm. I'll tell you what to do. I know many people in China that can help you check on him. I also have the contact of someone in the Nigerian consulate

Thanks for the response and willingness to help.

Will do the needful.

israelmao:
See a lawyer for legal advice or if you can get in touch with Abike Edabiri, Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora.

Thanks for the response.

Am on that at the moment.

Generalnomercy:
Do you want to corner him and do what you do best?


#STOPTHESCAM

Thanks for your response.

Will keep away from the guy

mario2k:
My brother,all hope is not lost God will bring your brother out of that prison and even favour him in that country.All you need do is to come this Saturday and Sunday at the Lords Chosen headquarter ijesha Lagos you will see what God can do, I am assuring you that your brother must come out of that prison just come.

Thanks for your response.

I stay far from Lagos, but I will keep praying where I am.

uruba23:
Talk to Madam Abike DabirI she should be able to direct you on what to do,provided your brother is innocent and his friend didn't use him as collateral to collect goods and vanish.

Ok.

Have made efforts with regards that, hoping she would respond.

kingreign:
You can do nothing. Nigerian diplomatic relationship with China is only in favour of Chinese trade and infrastructure and I doubt if the Chinese govt will honour any moves to release him except on presidential request or UN orders which I know isn't even possible. I've been opportune to follow some diplomatic family to an Indian prison to see Nigerians incarcerated there years ago, it was terrible. These Nigerians were terribly and inhumanly treated.

Just move on and keep him in your prayers.


Side note to everyone out there : never visit any country and over stay beyond your visa validity or engage in crimes. These guys out there value no humanity in illegal migrants.

Thanks for your response and advice.

I don't think I can move on, I will definitely find a solution.

deltateam:
At this point its obvious you don't know your brother.
So don't doubt, just hope.

Ok. I hope he doesn't.

Thanks for your response.

kingjrofficial:
Reach The Embassy Headquarters In Abuja, That's The Easiest Way To Know How To Get Ur Brother Out, Or To Know More About The Steps To Take...
Take a Bold Step... Everything z Gonna Be Alright...

Thanks for the response.

Will go there this evening or tomorrow.

TGM2015:
Check her out on twitter. Her handle is verified with the name Abike Dabiri-Erewa (@abikedabiri).

Moreso, your brother's friend should have an idea of the reason for the arrest. Best of lucks.

Yes he does.

Thanks for helping me with her Twitter handle, will contact her immediately.

gbolly0001:
They mostly gets released at the end of the day. This happened to my brother last year though it was in Paris he was off for some couple weeks we tried reaching the consulate but all to no avail but he was later released. Try the embassy and hope for the best

Thanks for the response.

I have tried them, waiting for their response.

technuel:
My brother first of all I want to console you on your odeal
It hurts because I know my junior brother faced the same fate like two years ago but not in China

All you need to do now is to reach out to Nigerian Embassy in China put a call to them or email them. If you have anyone in the ministry of foreign affairs he or she can help you out too.

Secondary Prayer: Prayer works, when my brother was incarcerated he was charged to court and their offence was 10 years imprisonment but my mother have to embark on a one week long fasting and prayer and on the day she ended that fasting my brother called that he has been released. Just like that, he said on the day of their final judgement the judge that was handling cased looked at then for a while and ordered for their release. So you can see prayer is the key to any problem.


Don't worry Your brother will come out and meet all of you his loved ones.

Thanks for this response.

Am highly encouraged. Will pray harder.

chris31:
They are still trying him when they finally sentenced him they will allow him to contact one member of his family to let them no what happened
Don't bother yourself coz u can't do anything just pray hard

Thanks for the response.

We will wait for him to call and keep praying.

Jakama90:
Nothing will happen to your brother unless he was caught with drug.
But if it's only paper issue, he will be deported after serving 3 month.. He will be ask to contact his family for his air ticket or he will remain in Chinese prison until the family do so.

Thanks for the response.

We will patiently wait for him to call.

Am encouraged.

[quote author=phenylalanine post=78141141][/quote]Thanks.

I sent the diaspora agency mail, but I will also try reaching her via twitter

CptCharlesVane:
'Searching for greener pastures' means going to violate Visas and do fraud in Nigerian parlance. I would've said don't bother yourself because China is just another kettle when it comes to human rights for criminals and we should be happy justice is served for his victim(s).
Tough luck, but if he did the crime, he should do the time (that's if it's only time he'll do in China).

Anyway, see if you can contact the Chinese embassy in Nigeria, and the Nigerian Embassy in China and be upfront with what exactly he was up to there in the far east. You can take it up from there.

People like your brother continue to make things difficult for legitimate Nigerians trying to earn an honest living and bring value to Nigeria in these countries

Thanks for the response.

Will do that ASAP.

I have sent them mail but am considering going to their office in Nigeria.

martineverest:
let him enjoy his punishment in peace ..Ur brother no dey hear word

just look at comments above,it shows that fraud runs in Nigerians' veins.everyone is more concerned on the brother but no one is concerned about the consequences of his acts.thwy think china is like naija where u go free after committing crimes.

wasn't OP enjoying the proceeds from his criminal acts B4 he was arrested?.did he ask him the kind of jobs he was into?

Thanks for your response.

But you made many wrong assumptions here.

But we can let it slide... All am asking for is a solution nothing beyond that.

GazzuzzAutos:
You can/should do nothing but wait. Anything else is an action in futility.

no papers, he will be deported after serving his time.

If a crime was committed, he will serve his time.

He will/might only be given a phone to call you if his case goes from bad-worse, the call will be a good bye call.

Asia is not Europe or America, they frown seriously at any type of crime, they even execute their ministers if caught on corruption charges so you can imagine what. They will do to a Foreigner?

Hmmmm...

I wonder where that leaves my brother.

I just hope he calls soon.

Thanks for the respons.

Is there no way for me to know if he will be serving the crime and how long?

lefulefu:
at least thank god it was fraud he did and not drugs cos dat one na instant execution tinns.hmm op i dont know wat to tell u cos if i advise u cos if i suggest i go complain to our embassy dat wil be a complete waste of time cos our embassies are lifeless.anyway just pray and hope 4 d best.

Thanks for the response.

Will act accordingly.

zeromeridian:
What's his name? Let's start from there

Am scared putting it up here. But I can send it to you privately.

How will I do that?

Thanks for your response.

Erastuslove:
Since you said he is ur ONLY brother.... I throw mercy on his path now and let him be shown MERCY AND RELEASED IN JESUS NAME...AMEN

Amen.

Thanks for your response.

mmadu5:
wow chinese prison and your complaining what would you now do if it was ikoyi prison or Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison

There's no certainty as to where he is and how long he will be staying there, that's why we are worried over here.

Thanks for your response.

[quote author=sisisioge post=78140930]Chai! Read this and some comments with my heart slamming! He must be going nuts right now being in an unknown prison with those unethical lot! Whew! It is well. May goodness be with him...I hope all others in the same vice are learning from this. It is well.[/quote[b][/b]]

Thanks for the response.

It's well.

Oshin56:
The only thing you can do for him if you have faith in God pray fervently for him but if your faith is not up to mustard seed I will advice you to go by the way of traditional because asia prison is not a prison to serve especially chinese prison before you know they will be planning to harvest his kidney which I pray that will not happen

Thanks for the response.

God won't let such.

I keep praying as you have adviced.

blackpanda:
When he finally comes out pls tell him to return home. Nigerians shld stop going to these wicked countries, most especially without papers. If u must immigrate, go to Canada or Europe where there is human rights biko. In China u can die at anytime. Your brother might even be innocent. But I believe he will soon be released.

Cheers. It is well

Thanks for the comment.

Am encouraged.
