The growing number of illegal immigrants in Nigeria shows how porous our borders are. These days you find guys from Niger, Chad, Togo and Cameroun every where in the Country. Majority of the water-vendors (otherwise called Mai Ruwa) in Lagos are not Nigerians.
We have more than 20 guys from Niger on my street alone (I live in Lagos).

Shouldn't this be a source of worry to every Nigerian?

That is true. They are everywhere esp togo. Very soon, those immigrants will take over what is left of naija.

But I thought many people here keep saying Nigeria is the worst place to live in the world.

Strange to see all these other foreign nationals trooping in to the country.

Goes with the saying "You never value your property until it's stolen from you".

How many Nigerians are abroad, legally and especially illegally?

Maybe about 7 to 10 million if that - which isn't a lot considering our huge population.

You know u have millions of Chinese and Indians scattered across the world as well despite the fact they have buoyant economies.
