Stop Migrating To Countries Worse Than Nigeria – NIDCOM Boss Warns

Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has warned Nigerians against migrating to countries worse than Nigeria.

In a video shared on social media, Dabiri-Erewa appealed to Nigerian influencers and bloggers to help the Federal Government to warn Nigerians against fleeing to “worse” countries.

“Please, we appeal to bloggers and influencers. Help us appeal to Nigerians that where you are running to is worse than where you are running from (Nigeria),” Dabiri-Erewa said.

While reacting to the recent viral video of some Nigerians calling for help in a Malian prison, Dabiri-Erewa said some girls in the viral video returned to Mali after the Nigerian government evacuated them.

“I want to address a viral video of some girls shouting from a prison in Mali, asking to be returned home. Some time ago, the chief of defence staff helped us bring back some girls,” the NiDCOM chief explained. “We have identified some of these girls are some of those brought back that time. That they found themselves back in Mali is shocking.”

She added, “We want to appeal. We need to obey the laws of other countries. Crime and criminality, irregularities migration, is very deadly now. As much as the mission in Mali is working to see if they can bring people back.”
