The Chairwoman of the House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Rita Orji recently announced this at a seminar organized by the Migration Enlightenment Project Nigeria (MEPN).<\/p>\n

According to Ms. Orji, Europe and Asia have recently experienced an increase in illegal immigrants from Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Many migrants from Nigeria, she explained, are women who are sexually abused by their sponsors and are compelled to engage in prostitution. Ms. Orji added that most of the Nigerians repatriated from foreign countries, especially Libya, are HIV\/AIDS positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of those that voluntarily returned from Libya came back with various sexually transmitted diseases, including Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Most of our ladies are used as sexual machines in Europe and other parts of the world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In some circumstances, illegal immigrants have their organs sold on black markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cKidneys and livers of illegal immigrants are being given out to sick people in China and other countries,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The diaspora affairs chairwoman therefore urged Nigerians emigrating from the country to have proper knowledge about their mission abroad in order to avoid being taken advantage of by their sponsors.<\/p>\n

She also advised parents and family members not to pressure young Nigerians to move abroad, as such pressure can cause migrants to seek illegal and dangerous methods of immigration.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome think it\u2019s a class status for their wards to be abroad. Some families will sell their lands and other valuables for their children to travel abroad by all means. Most of them don\u2019t even know why they are going aboard,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they eventually get there, they are subjected to various degrees of hardship, which they can\u2019t resist because of their [illegal] status. Some of them are lied against by the security\u00a0agencies in those countries, but there is no one to defend them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere are Nigerians going? What are they going to do in those countries? Some parents will sell their properties and assets in order to search for greener pastures abroad. It\u2019s a wrong notion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Project Director of MEPN, Femi Awoniyi, disclosed that there are at least 12,000 Nigerians in Germany awaiting deportation as their asylum claims have been rejected by the German government.<\/p>\n

Quoting a figure provided by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Mr. Awoniyi said that at least 2,500 migrants have perished in the Mediterranean Sea while many others were believed to have died traveling across the Sahara Desert or in transit countries such as Libya.<\/p>\n

He added that most of the victims of illegal traffickers were Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Sadat Hassan, Deputy Comptroller of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), said that 90 percent of illegal immigrants seeking asylum status are regularly rejected by European countries.<\/p>\n

She urged Nigerians to secure the required legal paperwork before attempting to migrate to Germany and other European countries, as it is not worth risking one\u2019s life on a dangerous journey only to be repatriated back to Nigeria.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
