India and US: The Deportation Controversy and What It Means for Nigerians.

 


India and US: The Deportation Controversy and What It Means for Nigerians

India is currently engaging with the United States after reports surfaced of Indian deportees being shackled during a 40-hour flight back to India. On Wednesday, a US military plane landed in Amritsar with 104 Indian deportees who had entered the US illegally. The use of restraints during the flight sparked outrage, with critics condemning the treatment as inhumane.

While India’s Foreign Minister, S. Jaishankar, clarified that women and children were not restrained, the situation has stirred political backlash, including condemnation from Indian opposition MPs. The incident has put a spotlight on the broader issue of how deportees are treated in international immigration processes.

In light of the US government's strong stance on deportations, the question arises: What can Nigerians learn from this situation?

Nigerians, especially those considering international migration, need to be aware of the risks associated with illegal immigration. Many Nigerians opt for unsafe, often fraudulent routes to reach countries like the US, paying enormous sums to travel agencies. Stories of mistreatment and abuse like Jaspal Singh's—who spent 11 days in the US before his deportation—serve as stark warnings about the perils of illegal migration.

What You Can Do to Protect Yourself:

  • Educate yourself on the legal pathways for migration.
  • Avoid fraudulent agencies that promise safe passage abroad.
  • Engage with trusted immigration experts for guidance on legitimate routes.

Stay Informed, Stay Safe

The plight of deported individuals highlights the importance of adhering to legal immigration procedures. With an increasing number of deportations globally, it’s crucial for Nigerians to make informed decisions and avoid the harsh realities faced by those illegally crossing borders.

HONESTLY, HE SAW IT.

Hello guys!!! I have missed jisting you all about my daily activities. The reason is not far-fetched---- work schedules have been so tasking. You know, we have been given a target to make which means all hands are on deck to make this work. So, if you have anyone who is interested in doing ICT courses, please send my number (07080256903) to them, and I will be glad to attend to them. I am an IT Career Consultant, and I'll do my best to let them know what's best for them as regards the IT world. So to the gist of today, I found myself thinking about an incident that happened some months back. Sit back, relax and read. LOL! I had to see a friend in my neighborhood one cool evening, so I dressed up and got set to leave. Suddenly, I felt the urge to use the loo- I wanted to do the minor( to pee). Normally, I was supposed to go straight to the loo to do the minor in time and get on my way but I felt I could do it right there in the compound. So I took a bold but foolish step...

Thank God I did not do it.

Each day I get up from my bed, I find reasons to give thanks to God for sparing me. The minutes however differs; there are times it's so short, some other times,so long, and at some times it's just there. However, on some special days, I deliberately take a long while at the place of my devotions. I have discovered in times past that the longer time I spend at my devotion, the better day I have. It helps me keep my emotions in check- I can be very emotional. Okay! So to the story of today; I made up my mind to get to work early today, I set my alarm to wake me up gradually(I wake up gradually, lol), I finally left my house at 7:00am. Immediately, I rushed to the bus terminal to pick a bus or a bike;I didn't get to see that in time, favour finally beckoned at me, and I got a tricycle to convey me to where I was heading to-Agbado. I got a bike to transport me to the next stop at a very nice price too. When I got there, the Monday morning rush was so much that the queu...

Why I Stopped Writing For So Long!

Many a times, I want to express myself via writing. By God’s grace, I know I’m an articulate writer. I express myself better when writing than speaking. However, as soon as I set my mind to write, the enthusiasm drops and I’m wondering why I wanted to write. Some other times, I’m also thinking that what I want to write might be private.  You see, I’m privileged to have certain private and dynamic relationships with different kind of people. As such, I’m being careful of writing what will make these people think I’m writing about them. At the same time, I love being private - I also wouldn’t want to write and the smart Peeps in my corner add one plus one to make eleven. Lol.  Many reasons, right? Is it just me? Am I thinking too much? Am I caring too much? Am I too concerned? Am I am I? 🙈 Let’s go into what we have for us today. You see, sometime in the year 2021, my phone was stolen. That was like the third phone that got missing within the space of three years. Unfortunately...
