Bye Bye, As Buhari Sets Date To Begin Nationwide Deportation Of Foreigners Living In Nigeria

The Nigerian Government, under President Muhammadu Buhari, has insisted that any undocumented alien that fails to take part in the e-registration of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, will be deported after the January 12, 2020 deadline.

The NIS Spokesperson, Sunday James, who stated this also disclosed that any Nigerian who engages undocumented migrants as security guards, nannies or housemaids could be sentenced to seven years in jail, and fined N1 million by the court, as from January 2020.

The NIS also said that aliens who fail to participate in the ongoing e-registration would be deported, and might be barred from returning to Nigeria.

James admonished Nigerian employers of irregular migrants to encourage them to register with the NIS, in order to avoid the stiff sanctions awaiting defaulters.
He stated that the concerned foreigners, including ECOWAS nationals, have till January 12, to register on the NIS portal.

He said: “By the Nigeria Immigration Act, 2015, any Nigerian keeping irregular migrants who have not been documented in their house or in their business places would also partake of the punishment that would be meted out to the undocumented migrant.

“There is a fine of N1million or seven years imprisonment or both for the Nigerian host or employer of the irregular migrant. This would be prescribed by the court.
“For the migrant, he or she will be deported and would not be allowed to come back to Nigeria. We have given all undocumented foreigners till January next year to register on the e-migration portal.”

LETTER TO YOUTH Keep your Degree in a safe custody for future opportunity, and engage in entrepreneur skills, otherwise you will die poor. Most of the educated people in Nigeria are poor. Majority of the educated earn less than N55,000 for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around N50,000. The net salary then suffers from loan deductions of up to N15,000 leaving the salary at around N35,000. The landlord then demands for his N15,000 and monthly shopping takes away N10,000 leaving one with a N10,000. The bus will demand for N300 going to and from work and relatives get another N2,500. The whole salary is gone and borrowed money starts operating. The borrowed money includes short loans and salary advances. The difference between poverty and prosperity is property. A prosperous person has property to his name while a poverty stricken person has no property to show. Using this understanding, therefore, m

While this menace has consequently sent several innocent souls to early grave, today, thousands are battling with debilitating health and all forms of disabilities. However, in order to cushion this effect and bring sanity to the system, the governor of Delta State, in collaboration with his counterparts in the South-South region, endorsed the proposal by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for community policing as panacea for the persisting security challenges in the country. At a one-day conference held at Asaba on Tuesday November 26, titled ‘Strategic Partnership for Effective Community Policing in the South-South Zone,’ the South-South Nigeria Police Regional Security Summit was described by critics as a welcome develop
