Tens of thousands of migrants are trafficked through Nigeria every year. CNN's Nima Elbagir went undercover to learn about the horrific experience and met a man who escaped slavery after being trafficked. Ask her your questions on today's #CNNTalk in the comments below.

‘Don’t struggle if you’re raped’
People smuggler gives chilling warning to undercover CNN reporter

In a lurid pink hotel room in Edo State, southern Nigeria, a trafficker is arranging to smuggle us across the continent to Libya -- and ultimately Europe.

Fluorescent lights flicker intermittently inside the hotel, which doubles as a brothel and serves as the headquarters of tonight's operation.
We are posing as would-be migrants attempting to reach Italy with the help of our "pusherman" -- one of an army of brokers who work alongside smugglers on the Nigerian end of the migrant route from Africa to Europe.
Edo State is Nigeria's trafficking hub and one of Africa's largest departure points. Each year, tens of thousands of migrants are illegally smuggled from here. They're refugees fleeing conflict or economic migrants in search of better opportunities in Europe, most having sold everything they own to finance the journey.

But as CNN revealed in an exclusive report last year, they often never get beyond Libya.
ADVERTISING

inRead invented by Teads
When they arrive, they're told by smugglers they will need to pay thousands of dollars more to continue their journey across the Mediterranean.
When the migrants fail to pay, they are held in grim living conditions, deprived of food, abused by their captors, and sold as laborers in slave auctions.
Footage obtained of a slave auction in Libya -- in which young men were sold by smugglers for as little as $400 each -- caused international outrage.
The 'VIP' package
Three months later we wanted to see whether that outrage had translated into action. CNN producer Leposo and I went undercover as two wealthy women paying for the "VIP" travel package from Nigeria to Europe, which includes a smuggler who will meet us in the northern city of Kano and escort us across the border into Libya.
We gave scant detail about our situation, saying only that we hoped to reach Italy and then travel from there to London. The smugglers were mostly interested in our money, and asked few questions.
In reality, our plan was to secure a deal, set off from Auchi in the north of Edo State, and then quit the journey as soon as we were safely out of the sight of smugglers.
Setting up the deal was incredibly easy. Hassan, another CNN producer, worked undercover to negotiate a deal with the pusherman in Ekpoma, also in Edo State.
Hassan negotiated 500,000 Nigerian naira for each of us, roughly $1,400.
The money was due on our arrival in Libya. Hassan was the guarantor of our journey and would be held accountable if we became frightened and backed out of the deal.
He was told by the pusherman that the price to smuggle women is higher than for, say, small boys, because women's journeys are "even more difficult -- they are molested there (in Libya)."

As part of our "VIP" travel package, we were offered condoms for the journey. The pusherman later expressed dismay that I hadn't packed any myself.
"We give you contraception," he told me. "You need men in Libya to be kind to you. They will have things you want. Do you understand?"
When I said "yes," he laughed.
"Of course, you understand," he continued. "You don't get something for nothing in this life. You're lucky, the men sometimes wait six months before they're put on the boat to Europe."
"Women though -- if they're like you -- sometimes you can be put on a boat the very next day."

He has a warning for me: "Listen, don't struggle if you're raped."
Sexual abuse on the migrant route
Women and children routinely face sexual violence, abuse and detention along the Central Mediterranean migration route from North Africa to Italy, according to a 2017 UNICEF report.
"Nearly half the women and children interviewed had experienced sexual abuse during migration -- often multiple times and in multiple locations," said the report, which compiled testimony from 122 migrants.
The attorney general of Edo State, Yinka Omorogbe, is leading a taskforce that was set up last August to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.
"We are actively involved in investigation and have commenced several prosecutions," she told CNN in a written statement. "Like I have said, we have just started. We are awaiting a state anti-trafficking law which will further strengthen us. We have a destination and we'll get there."
"Trafficking in Edo is neither solely about economic issues nor underdevelopment, but has deep cultural roots that must be exposed, examined and pulled out."
Meeting the pusherman
Within one day of Hassan securing a deal, we met the pusherman at the hotel to embark on the first stage of the journey.
Floral curtains adorned the room's barred windows, and not much was explained to us by the traffickers. Very quickly we were taken to the local bus depot in Auchi, where the pusherman flagged down a bus traveling north to Kano.
Public transport offers good cover for smugglers in Nigeria. It's far more difficult for authorities to keep tabs on buses running through their usual routes, laden with people and legitimate goods, then it is to chase down vehicles specially used by the traffickers.

We squeezed down the aisles of the busy overnight bus before the doors were locked shut from the outside as a safety precaution against potential hijackers.
Once out of sight of the smugglers, we disembarked on the outskirts of the city, where Hassan was waiting for us. We were relieved to see him.
Had we kept going -- as our traffickers intended -- we would have arrived in Kano 14 hours later. From there, the plan was that a member of the smuggling network would have put us on a second bus destined for Agadez in Niger.
From Agadez we would have traveled to Sabha in southern Libya -- a place where survivors of the slave trade have previously told CNN they were marched off the bus at gunpoint, later to be sold at auction.
Luckily for us, none of that is our future. For others, it is a horror they cannot escape.
And as our rapid quest from contacting a pusherman, to negotiating a deal, and setting off on a bus towards Libya showed, it is a still a journey all too easy to make.

An old colonial document shows the budget of the two British protectorates (Southern and Northern) in 1913. It proves that the reason for the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern protectorates by Lord F.D. Lugard was for no other reason but to use the budget surplus of the South to finance the deficit of the North.

No problem.. Just wear long sleeve shirt to cover up your tatt , so people wont think you are a cultmember or something and also. try and find out if there is an activity you can attend during the month before you travel e.g oshun osogbo festival or oyo festival.. Do some research online and you will be safe.

Hello, I recently received a DNA test through ancestry.com and was surprised to find DNA matches from Ekiti state.. I'm American of primarily "nigerian" descent ( so far, all of my matches from Africa are Yoruba even though 26% of my DNA comes from Mali) I would love to visit the home of my Yoruba ancestor.. I'm American.. Is it safe to travel to Nigeria? I have many tattoos on both arms.. from what I have seen, its not a common thing in Nigeria or other countries within the continent...

DearPeople:
Dear People,

The 'constituted authority' of a governor alongside his other governors in Nigeria do not really bother themselves over wildlife let alone its preservation. Everyone's gaze is fixed on oil, forgetting that wild life preservation translates into tourism which in turn results into revenue and speedy development for a people and her government.

Urgent attention is needed to revamp and modernise the old oyo national park. This is the only national park we have in the south west. i appeal to the government to urgently look into it, with the stability in the south west plus a well structured national park, many tourist will be trouping to come visit old oyo national park thereby making it a tourist destination. I dont need to go to yankari game reserve or Gashaka Gumti National Park before i can see wild animals in their natural habitat. just like yankari and gashaka national park, we need to employ park rangers to monito and stop the indiscriminating killing by the hunters , park motor for touring

The Park is located in Oyo State, South-west Nigeria with an area of 2,512 square Kilometre, shaped like ‘Saxophone’ . It is 300 Km from Lagos, 60 Km from Ibadan, 160 Km from Ilorin, 600 Km from Abuja, 600 Km from Kaduna and 910 Km from Kano. Most of the Park area is covered by plains lowland, undulating from 300m to 500 m above sea level. Few hills, notable Yemoso and Gbogun, Kosomonu, however rise several meters above their general surrounding. The southern part is drained by the Owu, Owe and Ogun Rivers, while the northern sector is drained by the Tessi River.

The rainy season begins in April through September with the highest rainfall record between July and August.Temperature is highest in the dry season with the mean daily maximal, which is greatest during February and March with values of about 33.6 degrees C with the lowest values of about 20 degrees C during the height of harmattan in December and January.

Old Oyo National Park was established to preserve the culture, historical and archaeological features in the abandoned sites of the then capital city of the ancient Oyo Empire at Oyo-ile, Bara and Koso, to protect, preserve, conserve and manage representative samples of indigenous flora and fauna of the south west geographical region of Nigeria, to encourage general interest and education among the public in the knowledge of wild fauna and flora and to gain their support for conservation, the conservation of selected and representative examples of wildlife communities in Nigeria, for the protection of endangered species of wild plants and animals and their habitats and to encourage the public to visit the National Park in order to enjoy and appreciate the aesthetic, spiritual and ecological values of nature in the maintenance of a healthy environment among others.

This Park was named after the ruins of Oyo-lle (Old Oyo) a former political capital of the ancient Ypruba Empire and was thus formerly referred to as Upper Oyo-lle forest reserve. The park divided into 2 forest reserves of Upper Ogun and Oyo-lle which were gazetted in 1936 and 1941 respectively. The two were joined in 1952 into a game reserve and later gained status as a national park.

The north eastern parts of the park have occasional granite outcrops stretching up to Oyo-lle and isolated hills for the central parts.

The park has the four types of vegetation which are dense woodland and forests outliers in the southeast part; mixed open savanna woodland in the central part, outcrop vegetation in the northeast and riparian grassland and fringing woodland occupying the forest plains and valleys along the Ogun River.
