Today Is World Refugee Day 2015: There Are Thousands Of Nigerian Refugees by Orikinla(m): 8:16am On Jun 20, 2015 |
[size=18pt]Saturday, June 20 World Refugee Day 2015 .[/size] Pause and ponder for a moment about the harrowing nightmares of thousands of the refugees of Boko Haram conflict in Nigeria and millions of other refugees in other war-torn countries in the world. I know what if feels to be one of them since I was a refugee child during the Nigerian civil war and my beloved mother of blessed memory Gladys Eke lost three of her children in refugees camp in Biafra. The war claimed more than 1 million lives in less than three years and majority of the casualties were innocent children in Biafra. Nigeria lost about 50, 000 soldiers and Biafra lost about 25, 000 soldiers. Today, I make this post in memory of the thousands of refugees who died in Biafra and pray for the survival of millions of refugees in the world today.

Chai! I made dis! Halleluyah oooooo! Hope this guy under me makes sense! Meanwhile refugees in Nigeria are no longer in thousands but millions. Calculate states owing workers beginning from Osun. Those workers have being turned to refugees by wicked and heartless governors |

Nigerians cannot be refugees in their own country, rather they are internally displaced persons (IDP). May God almighty ease the pains of Nigerians wherever they are |

Does President Muhammadu Buhari know that today is World Refugees Day? And how many Nigerian news media channels are addressing the humanitarian emergencies of Nigerian refugees today? When you read the New York Times, Washington Post, Economist and other leading international newspapers, Nigerian newspapers in print and on the internet look backward and underdeveloped in editorial and news reports and engagement in global issues. Today is World Refugees Day and the most in-depth analysis of the global crisis are the reports on my Nigerians Report Online and Nigerian Times blogs. The Nigerian government seems to have forgotten that we have thousands of Nigerian refugees in Chad, Niger and Cameroon and the humanitarian emergency is worse than the unpaid salaries of government workers making headlines of news media channels in Nigeria. |
