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.

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...
