Nigeria has ‘enough problems’ and can’t take deportees from US, minister says
Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, recently stated that Nigeria is facing its own set of challenges and cannot accommodate deportees from the United States. This comes after reports indicated that the US is considering deporting some Nigerian nationals.
Onyeama emphasized that Nigeria is dealing with issues such as insecurity, economic instability, and the COVID-19 pandemic, making it difficult to handle an influx of deportees. He reiterated that the country needs to focus on solving its internal problems before taking on additional responsibilities like accepting deportees.
Meanwhile, the US government has not officially confirmed any plans for mass deportations to Nigeria. However, with increasing tensions surrounding immigration policies in the US, the situation remains uncertain.
The issue highlights the complexities of international relations and the challenges faced by countries dealing with migration issues. As Nigeria grapples with its own internal issues, the question of accommodating deportees from the US adds another layer of complexity to the global migration debate.
