  ABUJA, NIGERIA — Supporters and stakeholders of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) from Apapa Federal Constituency have taken their protest to Abuja, calling on the party's national leadership to uphold the outcome of the recently concluded primary election and recognize Hon. Chinomso Agomuoh as the party's authentic candidate.

Deportation Rate Of Nigerians From Italy, Germany, UK, Ireland, Others Alarming - Japa Queen


 the rising number of Nigerians deported; From "Japa" to "Japada" by Divine Chukwuemeka: Why are so many Nigerians being deported?



Devine Chukwuemeka, also known as "japa Queen," a Nigerian-born migration researcher who has volunteered to study people's movement from one location to another, provides this curated rundown.



According to M.S. Devine, sharing her insights into people's migration with Oriontimes, "First, I'll give the contextual meaning of the keywords."



JAPA; fled Nigeria for a different country in search of better pastures.




"JAPADA" is the opposite of "japa," which means to return to Nigeria after escaping.




Deportation is the removal of a person from a country; in essence, you were "japa-ed," but they pursued you back.



πŸ“The extradition pace of a Nigerians particularly from Italy, Germany, UK, Ireland and Greece has turned into an issue of concern.




For instance, the United Kingdom approximately deported;


1,105 Nigerians in 2015; 22,800 Nigerians in 2023. As you can see, the numbers have skyrocketed, and some of the reasons for the deportation are as follows:



Lack of documentation; overstaying their visa's residency period; stricter immigration policies—you entered the country when X was tolerated; now, X is not tolerated, so you must leave; illegal immigration; and most common is criminal activity or a track record—why did you kill the shopkeeper or sell drugs?



The process of being deported does not end there;



Financial difficulties—deportees might have to start over financially; emotional difficulties—family members might be unhappy with them.



Some deportees pose a threat to societal peace or struggle with instabilities, necessitating their placement in rehabilitation facilities. Reduced Remittances: the country would not benefit from the tax or revenue on the money they send into the country again. Bad name: deportation is not a good thing in its fundamental form, so it muddies the country's name.




P.S., are you familiar with "Deportation"?



P.S.S., what other factors might cause nation X to expel migrants?



P.S.S.: Do you know anyone deported?



Please let me know if you gained any knowledge; I value your intellectual contributions.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
